Ten days later.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle …"
Unlike any burrow that Alxa, Grimm, and the rest of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers had gone to before, the moment the two teams of Demon-Hunter Sorcerers entered the core of the Burrow World, the Snowthread Burrow, the entire cold and dark Snowthread Burrow was brightly lit by the magic lamps floating in the air.
These high-powered magic lamps consumed a lot of magic stones, and the uncountable number of magic lamps in the sky was …
Shock, an unconcealable shock hung on the faces of every Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who came to the Snowthread Burrow for the first time.
On the ground, layers upon layers of Snowthread Worms crowded together. There was no end in sight, and there were trillions of them. The sound of them chewing on the cold rocks and minerals was incessant.
These Snowthreads had extremely strong reproductive abilities, and their survival abilities were also shockingly exaggerated. Add to that the unimaginable number of Snowthreads gnawing on the underground ores day and night, it was no wonder that the cold, frozen world had evolved into the Burrow World of today!
Just one tunnel of the Burrow World would take a few months to travel, and it was connected to dozens of burrow spaces of various sizes. There were almost tens of thousands of such tunnels in the Burrow World, and it was like an ant nest that had expanded countless times.
Whoosh …
Suddenly, as Grimm and the rest quickly retreated, a group of tens of thousands of Snowthread Worms surged down from the tunnel of the Ancient Sonic Tigerfrog Burrow and fell into the endless swarm of Snowthread Worms on the ground of the Snowthread Burrow.
This swarm of Snowthread Worms was so insignificant compared to the uncountable sea of Snowthread Worms on the ground. Soon, they were completely integrated into the sea of Snowthread Worms and could not be distinguished from each other.
Just now, with the swarm of Snowthread Worms gnawing on the ground, the diameter of the tunnel seemed to have widened by half a centimeter or a quarter of a centimeter.
"There … There are so many of them, no wonder …"
Alxa kept glancing at the sea of Snowthread worms that were squirming together on the ground. Her calm and wise eyes revealed a hint of shock.
At this time, any sorcerer could kill hundreds or thousands of Snowthread Worms with a spell.
It was a piece of cake to try to collect the Snowthread Worm's Despair.
However, none of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers tried to do so, because the endless number of Snowthread Worms had completely made any rational Demon-Hunter Sorcerer despair.
Gulp …
Little Eight also swallowed hard and murmured, "Oh my god, it's almost catching up to the Void Worm …"
Everyone stood rooted to the ground for almost half an hourglass before they gradually regained their senses. After gulping silently, they could not help but feel a sense of reverence for this little creature known as the Snowthread Worm.
These small creatures were at the bottom of the Burrow World. They were the common food of all carnivores in the Burrow World, but they were also the creators of this world!
Without them, there would be no Burrow World.
Furthermore …
Grimm could not help but speculate that it was precisely because of these endless Snowthreads that some of the laws of this world had been completely changed, causing no natural elemental creatures to be born in this extremely cold world.
"Thousand-eyed Crab, go and test the thickness of these Snowthreads," Grimm instructed.
"Yes, Sir Grimm."
Suddenly, the Thousand-eyed Carcinus swung one of its huge pincers at the swarm of Snowthread Worms on the ground. With just one strike, thousands of Snowthread Worms were crushed to death by the huge pincer.
In an instant, the sharp-eyed Demon-Hunter Sorcerers also got a rough estimate.
At this time, the average thickness of the sea of Snowthread Worms in the Snowthread Burrow had reached two meters, and they were constantly digging deeper into the world.
Perhaps in a few hundred years, this so-called Snowthread Burrow would become a new burrow with an independent ecosystem, and the new core of the Burrow World, the Snowthread Burrow, would descend by one or more levels and continue to develop endlessly.
After everyone calmed down, old Sorceress Alxa took out her crystal ball and pointed to the front left, "This way."
Amidst the rustling sounds of the endless Snowthread Worms chewing on the ores, the group flew towards the Second Battle Command of the Core Burrow, which symbolized the complete conquest of the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer.
The Snowthread Burrow was different from other burrows, where there would be a series of natural landscapes such as vegetation, ravines, hills, and so on. Here, there was only an endless sea of Snowthread Worms, squeezing and squirming with each other on a flat surface.
Swoosh.
From time to time, a tunnel would appear above their heads, and a large number of Snowthread Worms would pour out and fall onto the ground of the Snowthread Burrow.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, everyone stopped again.
In front of them, there was a pile of Acraepoid skeletons that was a few meters high, piled up on a low hill. Wherever there were Acraepoid skeletons, not a single Snowthread would approach.
It seemed that in the Snowthread's life instinct, the presence of these Acraepoids was their natural enemy, and they had even lost all will to resist.
Creak!
The group stepped on the Acraepoid skeletons, and a "creak" could be heard. A few sections of the brittle skeletons were broken before they could barely withstand the pressure.
Looking up, right above the pile of Acraepoid skeletons was a tunnel entrance to the Burrow World.
"What kind of clue is this?"
Thousand-eyed Carcinus and the two teams of Dark Demon-Hunters circled around the small hill a few times. Everyone had their own guesses, but no one said anything and left.
Along the way, they passed by dozens of tunnel entrances of various sizes. Almost every once in a while, there would be one or two Snowthread Worms crawling down from these entrances, falling into the "sea of Snowthread Worms" of the Snowthread Burrow.
And every once in a while, a small batch of Acraepoid skeletons would appear under one or two of the burrow tunnels, and the Snowthread Worms would hide far away.
"Hmm? Looks like these Snowthread Worms are afraid of the sweet smell of death in this crystal core? "
Old Sorceress Alxa was holding a crystal core that emitted the sweet smell of death in the Acraepoid skeletons. She flew at a low altitude, while the Snowthread Worms around her squirmed and tried to escape.
The group also took out a sample of this crystal core and experimented.
However, no one said anything. This discovery only made them pause for a short while, and they continued to fly towards the Second Battle Command of the Black Iso Tower in the core of the Burrow World.
In the sky, one magic lamp after another floated in midair, continuously illuminating the core of the Burrow World's bottom layer.
Seventeen days later.
The area of the Snowthread Burrow was no smaller than the Wolfspider Burrow, and it was still expanding. Even though Grimm and the group of Demon-Hunters had only passed through a small part of the burrow, it still took them nearly half a month's time.
For the past seventeen days, in the eyes of the people in this burrow, the Snowthread Worms were the only melody in this burrow.
There were simply too many of them …
Endless was the best way to describe them!
As the magic lamps floating in the surroundings became more and more dense, it even became a brightly lit area in the distance. Grimm and Alxa's teams revealed a trace of joy.
They had arrived at the Second Battle Command of the Burrow World!
Roar, roar, roar …
Soul slave legions gathered nearby, among which there were many behemoths that were no smaller than the Thousand-eyed Carcinus. The arrival of Grimm and his team did not cause the slightest ripple.
On the ground, scattered fragrant death crystal cores were scattered around, driving away the densely packed Snowthread Worms so that the sorcerers could have a place to stay.
Although huge objects such as the voidships could not enter this underground burrow, there were many mechanical devices similar to the mechanical bees.
The Battle Command was arranged in a few square-shaped metal mechanical aircraft, which was also the place where Alxa and Grimm's teams received their mission to explore the Burrow World.
Logically speaking.
Even though such a burrow tunnel had been completely cleared by the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer's vanguard team, it still posed a serious threat to the follow-up teams of Demon-Hunters.
In that case, a tunnel that had not been cleared in the Burrow World would be an almost impossible task for an ordinary demon hunter squad to explore based on the previous difficulty.
And what was the purpose of Dark Demon-Hunter teams like Grimm and Alxa being sent to the underground core of the Snowthread Burrow?
There must be some sort of special arrangement within this.
