Chapter 216 (1/2)

The whole circle of land around us is turning over the soil. This must be done by the dead worm.

Bald Ladybug and orsel, I, were on guard. At any time, we might rush into the ground and drill out the death worm that gave us a fatal blow.

But time passed for a long time, except that there continued to be everted land around, except for some inconspicuous strange noises in my ears. The dead worm has no response.

Vaguely, I felt that something might be wrong.

”Bald ladybug, if the monster doesn't want to drill out and attack us this time?”

I said to fidro with a frown.

”It's not drilling out. What is it doing? Wait, are you skeptical? ”

Bald Pedro pondered for a moment, then he was surprised and said to me strangely.

”Hum! It's not drilling out. Is it going to drag me underground! It's just an animal! ”

Othel looked disdainful.

The situation is critical at the moment. I don't have time to compete with orsel.

”The soil here is loose, which is half a desert. If death worms drill back and forth in the ground like this. Will it make the soil more loose, loose enough to bear our weight and loose enough to form quicksand! Then sink!? ”

”How possible! It's not a hollow area like a cave, is it? ”

Federo looked at me and the everted earth around him.

”But if this thing swallowed the soil?”

”That's very likely! No, run! ”

Fidro suddenly roared in horror.

”Everyone, evacuate quickly and give up killing!”

Fidro said to the Knights around him.

I pulled up lanstya and ran to the periphery recklessly. I just guessed casually. After all, such a creature met for the first time. What kind of ability it has is unknown.

”Ah? Slow down, easy. ”

Lanstya panted.

Just as I was about to speak, my feet suddenly softened. My heart was bad. Sure enough, I let the beast succeed.

”Hold my hand!”

At the last minute I yelled at lanstya.

Then there was endless darkness and subsidence, accompanied by soil and a sense of suffocation. Such a situation almost killed me here.

Not long after, I fell heavily on the ground and my muscles and bones ached.

”Anyone? They're not dead.”
