"No!!!"
A blood-curdling scream echoed in the forest of the new world.
"That's the second one. It ran really fast …"
The Hero put the greatsword back on his back. In front of him was a Void Person who had been cut in half at the waist.
"Ah! Kill … No … Kill! "
However, this Void Person was not dead yet. It used its hands to support itself on the ground and kept crawling towards the Hero … Moreover, there was not a single drop of blood at the cut. Instead, many strange objects fell out.
For example, there were rectangular objects that looked like metal, spherical objects that looked like stones, and many other small objects. Most of them looked like metal and rocks, and did not look like organs at all.
"Scholar, did it say that the bodies of these thieves have been modified and occupied by a large number of creatures called 'Rift Worms', leaving only a brain that could become mentally unstable at any time?" The Hero kicked the body that was crawling on the ground over, then squatted down and carefully looked at the cut.
The Hero did not have many body detection abilities, but it still had some. One of the abilities of its eyes was' microscopic observation '. In fact, other than the dwarf, all the members of the team had this ability.
When it adjusted its vision to the microscopic level, the Hero saw the creatures called Rift Worms.
They looked like starfish, and there were many tentacles around their bodies. Moreover, their numbers were so large that they were densely packed. The Hero saw that the group of Rift Worms were mainly gathered around a metal-like object.
This object was hemispherical and had a diameter of more than ten centimeters. Countless Rift Worms crowded around this metal-like object … It was as if they were squeezed on an island in the sea.
They looked very frightened and kept squeezing towards the center. But it seemed to be because the ground was covered with moss … plants.
Of course. This was not moss. The Hero noticed that if the Rift Worms accidentally fell from their 'island' onto the 'moss' on the ground, their bodies would quickly rot and disappear.
Therefore, the Rift Worms were very scared. They would fall to the ground in fear, and all of them kept squeezing towards the center of the hemispherical metal object. However, the moss on the ground was not the only threat to them.
The Hero also noticed that another creature was climbing up the edge of the hemispherical object. This creature was about the same size as the Rift Worms. However, it seemed to possess a very powerful … ability. Its shape was strange, and its entire body was covered with sharp thorns. Once it got close to a Rift Worm, it would instantly tear a Rift Worm to shreds and then devour it.
The method of devouring was similar to direct absorption. As long as the remains of the Rift Worm were attached to the body, the creature would be able to absorb the remains.
A large number of these creatures emerged from the moss and climbed onto the metal hemispheres of the Rift Worms. The Rift Worms would not sit still and wait for death. They would still use some … weapons to fight back.
The Hero saw that some of the Gap Worms were equipped with something. They will attack those creatures, but the strength of the Rift Worms is not strong. Almost every time, several of them had to die to kill a single creature.
There were a lot of these creatures with sharp claws, and they were climbing up from the edge.
Furthermore, the Hero discovered that there was more than one type of creature. Soon, other creatures appeared, such as slime worms, worms, and strange spherical ones.
They were all very small creatures, and they seemed to have come for the sake of eating Rift Worms. However, once there were too many of them, they would start fighting each other before they could eat the Rift Worms.
Soon, the small isolated island where the Rift Worms gathered was flooded by all kinds of microorganisms.
"I see. That's why they have to hide."
Even the Hero, who only wanted to barge in without stopping to study, became interested in these things and continued to observe.
The other things that fell out of the Voidman's body were in a similar situation. These Rift Worms basically died as soon as they touched the ground.
The ones that gathered on those things did not die so quickly, but they were quickly drowned by the microorganisms that surged up.
It seemed that the outside environment was too dangerous for the Rift Worms, so they had to live in the Voidman's body …?
But how did they get in in the first place?
The Hero was also puzzled about this, so he also looked at these Rift Worms with great interest …
Watching them slowly being killed, the microorganisms also began to move in from the Voidman's severed body. However, the Rift Worms that were still in the Voidman's body seemed to be more powerful than those that fell out.
They used some kind of weapon to constantly kill the microorganisms that were pouring in, but there were too many microorganisms. No matter how the Rift Worms formed a defensive line, they would slowly collapse …
In other words, as long as the Voidman's body was cut open, the Rift Worms inside would not be able to live here.
"This is really fun …" The Hero looked at the Rift Worms' battle and said, "A miniature war."
"Wahahahahaha!"
Suddenly, the Hero heard the dwarf's cry. The dwarf was no longer with the Hero. He was chasing another Voidman and had run far away.
Hearing this cry meant …
The Hero stood up and ran towards the dwarf, leaving behind the Voidman that was cut in two …
Passing through a large number of large objects, the Hero quickly approached the dwarf … Just as he was about to arrive, the dwarf's voice rang out again.
At the same time, the Hero saw another Voidman.
"Wahahahahahaha!" The dwarf shouted while pouncing on a Voidman. He kept biting and tearing off a large piece of the Voidman's skin. However, the sound of tearing did not sound like skin, but more like a piece of metal.
"Ahhh!" The Voidman also shouted. He suddenly used a powerful force to pull the dwarf off his body and threw him to the ground. Then he immediately flew into the air.
"Don't let him escape! Gulp! " Hearing the Hero's voice, the dwarf jumped up and grabbed the flying Voidman. Then he bit down on his leg.
"Ahhh!" The Voidman screamed in pain, but he continued to fly up.
The Hero took out his sword and aimed at the Voidman in the air … then he threw it with all his might.
The spinning sword flew through the air. In an instant, the flying Voidman was pierced through.
However, it didn't fall down because it was pierced. Instead, it continued to fly upwards and let out miserable cries.
The Hero saw this and wanted to chase after him, but … he noticed a large object flying over from afar.
"Quickly dodge!" The Hero shouted. The dwarf reacted. He let go of his bite and jumped down from the sky. The Hero's sword also moved on its own. It wriggled on its own and pulled away from the Voidman's body. The Hero jumped up to retrieve his sword.
What came next was a gigantic object … or rather, a living creature.
This object was almost twenty meters long. It looked like a … worm. This worm swept through the air at high speed and swallowed the flying Voidman.
"Looks like a monster has finally appeared here …" The Hero raised his sword and stared at the worm in the air. The worm circled in the air and then flew towards him.
With a rumbling sound, the large worm landed in front of the Hero. It raised its head high and aimed its sawtooth mouth at the Hero.
Boom! In an instant, the worm's head bit at the Hero. However, this only made it hit the ground heavily. The Hero had already dodged to the side.
The sword flashed at this moment. The Hero's sword slashed at the worm's head. The powerful sword cut a wound on the worm's head.
However, this worm did not spray out any blood-like liquid. The Hero could see some shiny things in the wound.
Those were … creations of Rift Worms. Could it be that this worm was also occupied by Rift Worms?
The worm growled and raised its head to bite the Hero again. Seeing the worm's mouth getting closer and closer, the Hero quickly grabbed a handful of 'moss' from the ground and threw it into the worm's mouth.
Boom! The worm did not stop. It hit the ground again. The Hero had already jumped more than ten meters away and checked the worm's condition.
It didn't seem to be working.
"Woo …" The worm moved again and let out a low growl at the Hero.
"Wow!" The Gnome on the Hero's back also shouted at the worm, as if he was replying to it.
Dwarves were usually very active when they encountered small targets. However, they would become timid when they encountered large opponents, just like now.
Rustle …
"This sound is …" As the two sides faced off, the Hero suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the ground. The worm seemed to have heard it too. It immediately reacted and rose into the air.
The Hero noticed that the worm's body had many jets, which allowed it to fly easily. However, as it did, countless small objects floated up from the ground.
These tiny objects looked like green grains of sand. The moment they appeared, they all flew in the direction of the worm.
The Hero noticed that the green sand was mainly flying toward the worm's mouth and the wound it had cut. A large number of them drilled into these areas. The worm flew higher and higher. When it reached an altitude of about 100 meters, all the jets on its body seemed to explode at the same time. Then, it quickly flew into the distance.
It had escaped … It seemed to have been attacked by the green sand.
"What are you doing here?"
As the Hero stared at the sky, a voice sounded behind him. He turned around and saw the Scholar standing behind him.
"Something … happened here just now."
The Hero briefly explained what had happened. The Scholar said, "I know. When you encountered those creatures that looked like green sand, I studied them …"
