Chapter 410: Luring the Magical Beast hoard of the Sandpit Worm part 1 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

Leo continued cultivating, completely unaware of what was happening around his surrounding.

On the other hand, Cassandra and the others eventually choose to go to sleep rather than cultivate. One reason was they want to guard Leo while he was cultivating. Although they were technically sleeping, it has never been a problem for 1 Star Mages like them to instantaneously wake up. And the second reason was, they, unfortunately, don't have any Magical resources left in their Storage Rings anymore. They basically used up all of their Magical resources in their journey from Silver City to Sandy Town.

Truth be told, they have never actually brought a lot of Magical resources to begin with. Even Leo didn't bring any himself. The only reason he has some was simply because the Green Eagle Flyingboats had brought all of his share of Magical resources from the Southeast Fortress that he and the Eclipse Village had stolen from the Twilight Bears back then at the Twilight Forest.

They were only thinking of gathering Magical resources the same way as to how they would gather their supplies whenever they don't have any supplies anymore. But because they were unexpectedly in this situation right now of helping Sandy Town, then they could only put aside their cultivation until they finally have some Magical resources for cultivation.

Actually, they could have asked for some Magical resources from Leo, but they were only thinking of doing that after they were done with this mission of helping Sandy Town. The main reason why they didn't ask was because they were hesitating after causing trouble to Leo the last time.

Although they were Leo's women, it still can't deny the fact that they have caused him trouble back then, which is something he hates the most.

.....

Meanwhile, further up the north, 500 kilometers away from the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest, a Green Eagle Flyingboat was flying cautiously in the sky.

Onboard on this Green Eagle Flyingboat was Ethan, Elaine, Edward, Sele, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre.

Ethan was cross-legged at the very front of the Green Eagle Flyingboat, solemnly looking for any traces of the Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm. By his side was Elaine, hugging his waist while closing her eyes to rest.

”I still haven't found any traces of those worms,” Ethan reported. He added, ”How about you, older brother?”

At the very top of the Green Eagle Flyingboat, specifically standing on the wood that connected the sail, Edward was observing both left and right.

”None,” Edward replied as he added, ”How about you guys?”

”Same,” Sele replied, who was at the rear of the Green Eagle Flyingboat.

Chief Lago was the Captain of the Green Eagle Flyingboat, so he was busy focusing on his task.

”Haven't seen anything here,” Sebastian reported while watching the bottom of the Green Eagle Flyingboat through the window of one of the rooms, specifically the right side.

”I saw some movements of worms just now, but they dug straight underground, so I was unable to follow it,” Dan reported, which immediately caused Ethan and Edward to turn really solemn.

”I noticed that as well,” Old man Torre confirmed.

Hearing both Dan and old man Torre's report, Chief Lago suddenly turned the wheel of the Green Eagle Flyingboats to go up high above the skies after.

”Hey, why are we suddenly going up the skies?” Sele can't help herself from asking while holding at the wooden railings tightly, in fear that she would accidentally fall off.

”You'll...” Ethan wanted to explain something, but a loud explosion suddenly sounded below the Green Eagle Flyingboat.

Below them, an insanely big worm's mouth with tens of thousands of really sharp teeth suddenly appeared out from the sand, trying to reach for the Green Eagle Flyingboat. Its long white body extended seemingly endlessly with a huge amount of sand exiting out from all over its body.

It was the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm!

Ethan, Edward, and Chief Lago had already expected this after hearing Dan and old man Torre's report.

”This...”

The other, however, was completely caught off guard. It was really out of their expectations that the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm would suddenly attack them.

Seeing the appearance of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm, everyone finally realized the reason why it was extremely hard to find traces of the Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm; it was because they were all hiding underground! Well, after all, this was a Sandpit Worm tribe, specifically a Magical Beast that lives under the sands of the desert.

It was that appearance of a worm mentioned by Dan and old man Torre who dug straight underground that made them realized that they have actually already entered the territory of the Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm.

To be honest, Chief Lago didn't actually have any idea that the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm would actually try to attack them, but knowing some information about the Sandpit Worms, he knows a fact that the safest place when it comes to Sandpit Worms would be to go very high up in the air, especially considering that there is a Beast Lord Sandpit Worm.

Sandpit Worms were known to always create sandpit whenever they are trying to hunt for their prey. They will devour the sand from the deep underground, causing anything on the surface to be pulled into their mouth. Those sandpits' purpose though weren't actually only to trap their prey but to also use it to jump to the air. How? All the sands the Sandpit Worms had consumed wouldn't actually stay inside their body and be digested, but rather it would travel around their entire body. And once they reached the maximum capacity of sand that their body could store, numerous holes would then appear around its body with all of those sands forcefully released out from it, creating a strong pressure that will shoot them high up to the air.

They don't really know how exactly the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm had gathered sands undetected, but considering that it's a Beast Lord, then it should have ways different from the ordinary Sandpit Worms. Or maybe it had coincidentally already gathered sands to store inside its entire body before they even arrived.

There are really a lot of assumptions to think about, but the most important thing right now is to escape from the range of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm's mouth.

Whoooosh!
