"It's here? What's here? "
Before Roland could ask, the ground under his feet suddenly arched upward and then split into pieces. The whole Blackstone Tower was lifted up in an instant! A giant gray beast rushed out from the ground and opened its bloody mouth, trying to swallow the bottom of the tower. The mucus on its skin splashed everywhere.
Summer's ability could only replay the scene, not the sound, so Roland felt like he was watching a silent movie. However, the vivid scene still shocked him. As for the witches who saw it for the first time, they all screamed and stepped back with their hands covering their mouths. Ashes even instinctively drew her sword in front of Tilly.
However, there was more than one terrifying monster.
There was a tentacle monster hidden under the Blackstone Tower. Its dark body was almost completely embedded in the tower. At first glance, it looked like there were countless legs growing out of the bottom of the tower. However, the dark red light refracted from its scales showed that it was a living creature.
Although the tentacle monster was almost half the size of a castle, it was still a little insignificant in front of the Megamouth Beast, which was big enough to swallow a tower. In order not to be swallowed, it waved its tentacles to support itself between the upper and lower jaws of the Megamouth Beast. At the same time, bursts of blood mist sprayed out from under its scales. There were obvious traces of corrosion on the Megamouth Beast's body. Obviously, this dense black mist could hurt it.
However, compared with its huge body, the corrosion of the blood mist could not stop the Megamouth Beast from swallowing. As the tower was lifted up bit by bit, the tentacle monster finally lost its strength and fell into the Megamouth Beast's stomach under the weight of the tower. Then the Blackstone Tower slowly slid down until it was completely submerged in the Megamouth Beast's mouth. At the end of the video, Roland saw the demon covered with eyeballs. It seemed to be indifferent to the monster that had raided the camp. It lay motionless on the top of the tower and was swallowed along with it.
At the end of the video, the red mist and the Megamouth Beast disappeared, and the scene became peaceful again. Only a huge pit was left, which told everyone that the scene just now was not an illusion.
Roland heaved a long sigh of relief. He firmly believed that it was the right decision not to call the soldiers of the First Army to watch the battle. Even he himself felt his heart pounding when he watched the battle. Even after it was over, he still felt a lingering fear.
"Is this... the worm monster that swallowed Miss Agatha's laboratory?" Tilly broke the silence after a long time. "Why would it attack the Devil's Town?"
"Maybe we were all wrong. It might not be a hybrid demonic beast enslaved by the demons. At least, it's not controlled by the demons behind the snow mountain..." Roland looked at Agatha and asked, "What do you think?"
"I also agree with this view." Agatha nodded. Obviously, she had been thinking about this for a long time. "There were no records of this kind of demonic beast during the two Battles of Divine Will. If the demons really had the ability to control them, we wouldn't have lasted that long. As long as the enemies sent several Megamouth Beasts carrying Senior Demons to the city during the large-scale attack, Taquila would have long been reduced to ruins. "
"If it's not the demons, then who's controlling it?" Tilly frowned. "And the group of transparent mantises that Miss Nightingale found. It's obvious that these demonic beasts have a plan."
"Can't they do it because they want to?" Nightingale spread out her hands. "Hybrid demonic beasts are not ordinary demonic beasts. Based on Evil Moon's performance, they already have the basic ability to think. As long as they live long enough, they may be smarter than us."
This sentence made everyone burst into laughter, and the heavy atmosphere immediately dissipated a lot. Obviously, no one really thought so. After all, a bunch of monsters that ate raw meat, drank blood, and crawled around in the mud could be smarter than humans who baked bread and wore knitted clothes. This kind of thing was too unbelievable no matter how one looked at it.
Only Roland did not say a word. He looked at the deep pit and his mind was in turmoil.
Humans are the smartest species?
He did not even dare to think so, especially in this completely unfamiliar world. When the living environment and living needs were different, the characteristics of intelligent creatures might be completely different. Take the demonic beasts for example, they certainly did not think that silk and bread were good things.
"Why didn't the Eye Demon react to the surprise attack?" Andrea asked puzzledly. "Didn't they say that as long as it looked at us, the whole camp would be awakened?"
"Because it was not seen by anyone," Agatha explained. "Only when we see the Eye Demon, the Eye Demon will see us. But that Giant Mouth Beast — it has no eyes at all. It has nothing but a big mouth. "
"Because it doesn't need eyes," Roland said. "If it lives in the underground all year round, the use of eyes is very small. Just like earthworms, it doesn't need to evolve a special light-sensitive organ to guide the way."
"Evolve... what?" Tilly asked curiously.
"The light-sensitive organ, such as the eyes, and the skin of some animals can also do this." He did not explain too much. Instead, he squatted down and pointed to the depths of the pit. "Lightning, do you want to go down and have a look?"
The little girl nodded immediately.
"It's too dangerous," Ashes stopped him. "We don't know what's hidden under the ground."
"You don't need to go deep into the tunnel. Just look at the direction of the Giant Mouth Beast," Roland said. "Nightingale will monitor the magic reaction from above. There won't be any danger."
"Hey, don't you want to follow the tunnel to catch it?" Lightning pouted.
"Not this time. After all, it swallowed the demon, not Agatha." He repeatedly reminded her. "When you find the direction of the tunnel, immediately come out and report to me. Do you understand?"
"Got it." Lightning took out a portable torch from her backpack, lit it, and flew into the deep pit.
"The entrance is here!" After a few seconds, Lightning's voice came from the Magic Stone. "Do you see the fire?"
According to the position of the torch, Nightingale quickly determined the direction of the underground tunnel. "No problem. You can come up."
Looking at Nightingale standing in the southeast of the deep pit and the towering snow mountain behind her, Roland frowned more deeply.
More than one person on the scene thought of this.
"It seems that we really guessed wrong," Tilly shrugged. "The demonic worm beast we met in the Concealing Forest was not going to Devil's Town, but to this snow mountain?"
