30 The Undead Worm (1/2)
After Tyrant stopped running, the sands rolled to him in just a few breaths.
A strong sandstorm stirred up the sand and dust and the monster from beneath attempted to kill Tyrant.
Tyrant bounced on the ground and retreated about 10 meters away, dodging the attack.
Lin Huang and the rest of them could see the unknown object now. It was a gigantic creature that looked like a python. It had blood red scales and scales on its body its body that was around 20 meters long. It was a lot taller than Tyrant when it erected its body upright.
There was merely a mouth on its head. It did not even have eyes! Looking at Tyrant, it opened its mouth slightly. It was visible to Lin Huang and the rest of them that there were many sharp teeth that resembled barbs wriggling in its mouth.
Both of their facial expression changed when they saw the monster's features.
”What should we do?! This is an Undead Worm!” Fatty cried.
The Undead Worm was identified as a type of demon. They were the scariest predators on the desert. They were rare and the worst part is that they do not have natural enemies here. They preyed on all the creatures in the desert.
All demons are vicious when they hunt for food; an Undead Worm was no different.
Once the prey was in its mouth, the barbs inside its mouth would wriggle, crushing and slicing the victim. It resembled a meat grinder.
It was a known myth that they had a smaller mouth inside their big mouth. It would pierce the ground to the creature's skull and absorb its brain.
The Undead Worm in front of them was around 20 meters long. Similar to Tyrant, they were on iron-level. However, these monsters were the Sand Monster's enemy. It would have a much higher probability of defeating Tyrant.
This was also the monster that Lin Huang wished not to encounter the most. However, he was forced to conquer his fears now.
”We can't escape this anymore, just f*ck it!” Lin Huang knew exactly what the situation was now. He shouted back at Fatty, but his gaze never left the Undead Worm.
The Undead Worm erected upright but it had not launched an attack. It kept its huge mouth open, looking like a freak that was sizing up Lin Huang and the rest of them. It was how predators looked down on their prey.
The Sand Monster obeyed Lin Huang's command to not be reckless.
Lin Huang and Fatty did not react; they were stunned.
Looking at the Undead Worm that had yet to trigger an attack, Lin Huang made a guess and asked, ”Could it be that this monster only attacks moving objects?”
”You asked the wrong person. I have not mastered the monster guide. I was able to recognize this monster because I've seen it before on the news.” Fatty swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, ”The news was about a Reserve Hunter team that encountered the Undead Worm in the desert. A team of five were killed by this monster in less than 10 minutes. When the rescue team for the monster hunters arrived, the Undead Worm had bitten off the top half of the last Reserve Hunter.”
”You don't need to tell me the content of the news…”
Their conversation lasted for a while and the Undead Worm was still ignorant to their existence.
