The inside of the Wolfspider Burrow was filled with the disgusting smell of digestive fluids corroding flesh and fat.
There were some soft decaying leaves on the ground. These soft decaying leaves seemed to be able to release some heat after fermenting. Coupled with the thick spider silk barrier around the burrow, the temperature inside the Wolfspider Burrow was much higher than the temperature outside, reaching above freezing point.
There were no more traces of Wolfspiders in the burrow. It seemed that they had rushed out to fight the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers out of instinct during the battle just now.
A twisted passage made of spider silk was inserted into the layer of decaying leaves. The Demon-Hunter Sorcerers followed the spider silk passage to search for the burrow rooms.
"Huh?!"
In one of the rooms, everyone stopped in their tracks and stared at the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers tied up by the spider silk. These Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were the members of the ten-member Demon-Hunter team that appeared with Alxa before Grimm's team entered the Burrow.
Grimm clearly remembered that there were ten of them at that time. The team leader was a Level-2 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. Both parties even greeted each other.
But now …
Among the group of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, only Alxa and Grimm stayed. The other Demon-Hunter Sorcerers sighed and continued to search for other rooms in the burrow.
Grimm and Alxa stood quietly in front of these Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
Now, they were just an empty skin. All the body tissues, bones, internal organs, and everything else under the skin had disappeared.
"We're still a step too late …"
Grimm could almost see these Demon-Hunter Sorcerers under the interference of the Thought Echo. They could feel the internal organs under their skin melting and the fear of being sucked by the Wolfspiders.
It was a kind of incomparable despair. They even hoped that they could die immediately, but it was impossible.
"Look on the bright side. Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers are destined to die many times on the path of life and death. Those who survive are the real strong ones."
Her voice was very calm. The old witch Alxa opened her palm, and the green sapling appeared again.
"Hmm, not bad. The Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who researched the Life Energy Sorcery is still alive. Let's see if we can find anything."
"Hmm," Grimm replied and nodded. He then collected the remaining parts of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer's artifacts and pendants, but he did not find anything valuable.
"Found it!"
Just then, a cry of surprise came from another room not far away.
Grimm and Alxa looked at each other and quickly walked towards the source of the sound.
The twelve Demon-Hunter Sorcerers from Alxa's team and Grimm's team surrounded a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer whose body was swollen and blistered. His skin was abnormally red and festering.
The Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, who was rescued from the spider web, was gasping for air. His festering skin was oozing with stinky pus, and he had lost consciousness.
"Can he still be saved?"
Aragorn walked over and asked the demon-hunter sorcerers who were surrounding them.
A Level-2 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer from Alxa's team was examining the rescued Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. He slowly shook his head and quietly walked away without saying anything.
Aragorn nodded and did not say anything either.
Grimm strode over and threw a water ball at the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. He hoped that it could effectively stimulate the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer to wake up, but it did not work.
After a moment of contemplation, a small ball of Soul Fire suddenly lit up at the tip of Grimm's finger. He slowly drew a few symbols on the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer's festering skin.
This simple application of Soul Energy was exactly what Grimm had come up with during his sorcerer-apprenticeship. He had tricked the Devil's Contract from the "Dark Destroyer Infernal God" from the foreign world. He had studied and understood the simple application of Soul Energy from the contract's symbols.
Seeing that Grimm had suddenly used an ingenious Soul Sorcery, everyone was slightly surprised.
Generally speaking, no Demon-Hunter Sorcerer would be willing to specialize in Soul Sorcery. Although this kind of sorcery looked powerful on the surface, once a Stigmata Sorcerer had advanced to become a Stigmata Sorcerer, many of the Soul Sorcery that they had spent a lot of time and energy on would become an instinct of the Stigmata Sorcerer. Countless ancient scrolls had told them that this was a waste of time.
Even Grimm had been affected by this mentality during his sorcerer apprenticeship.
Stimulated by Grimm's ingenious and simple Soul Sorcery, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who was in a state of festering skin gradually woke up.
Slowly, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer opened his eyes with great difficulty. He wanted to say something, but he choked on the mucus in his mouth and started coughing.
However, other than a few Level-2 Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, who were observing carefully, were all shocked.
His eyes …
At this moment, this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer's eyes were bloodshot. Although he was in a negative state, he was still in a normal human form.
However, in the other eye, there was a small translucent spider of two to three centimeters wriggling slowly, as if it was about to break out of its shell.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
After the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, whose skin was in a state of festering, finished coughing, a murky mucus flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he did not have the strength to make a sound.
Grimm's Soul Fire was communicating, but the Sorcerer's Soul Fire was almost in a state of collapse. There was no hope of saving him.
Thinking about it, the previous Level-2 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer shook his head based on this point.
"What do you want to say?"
Grimm moved closer and asked the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer whose skin was constantly festering.
Obviously, the Wolfspiders had done something to this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other Demon-Hunter Sorcerers to die from the melting of their body tissues, leaving behind a complete human skin, while this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer died from festering all over his body.
"Cough, cough … Kill … me …"
It took almost a minute for Grimm to analyze what this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer was trying to say.
Kill him?
Grimm pondered, but he did not dare to make a move.
Outside the Holy Tower's protective shield of the Sorcerer World, no one would stop a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer from killing each other as long as it did not violate the rules of the Holy Tower.
However, if a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer were to kill another Demon-Hunter Sorcerer during a Demon-Hunting Expedition, there must be absolute legitimate reasons and evidence. Otherwise, the crime would be betraying the interests of the Sorcerer World, and would be classified as a Black Sorcerer's crime!
"Woo …"
The Demon-Hunter Sorcerer closed his eyes again in extreme pain, as if he did not even have the strength to struggle.
"Ah! His skin … "
Ye Ye the parrot suddenly screamed and covered her mouth with her wings. Her eyes were filled with fear, as if she had thought of something.
The corner of Grimm's eye twitched slightly, and his breathing became heavier under the Mask of Truth. The other Level-1 Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, who were puzzled at first, also came to a sudden realization, and their bodies trembled.
At this time, under the festering skin of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, there was a wriggling movement, and one after another, light black translucent small spiders with a body length of only two or three centimeters crawled out of the festering skin.
The Wolfspiders' way of hatching their eggs was to lay eggs inside the bodies of their prey.
And this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, who was full of life energy, had become the Wolfspiders' nurturing prey. The first meal of the young Wolfspiders that hatched from the eggs was this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer!
At this time, there were hundreds of young Wolfspiders inside the body of this Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, gnawing his flesh and destroying his body's tissues.
This was too cruel and painful!
However, this was also the unique evolutionary survival method of the Wolfspiders, and it was one of the survival rules of the Endless World.
Taking out her crystal ball, Alxa walked to Grimm's side and said lightly, "Kill him. This is the best relief for him. I have recorded it."
"Okay."
Grimm nodded and responded in a low voice. A fireball spell was slowly generated at the top of the Sabbatic Goat Staff.
With a bang, the fire wave engulfed the festering Demon-Hunter Sorcerer.
With a heavy heart, everyone got their hands on some accessories that were not very valuable. Grimm also got his hands on a ring and threw it into the Dimensional Gap after taking a look at it.
From the ground, they collected a few young Wolfspiders that were only two or three centimeters long as research specimens. While they were retreating, they released witchcraft to completely destroy the Wolfspider Lair.
In the sea of fire, Alxa and Grimm continued to lead their Demon-Hunter team and flew forward.
