Chapter 81: Voice of Will

Another half year passed, and Thain once again returned to the Sand Valley where sandworms gathered.

Only this sand valley is the only iconic area that Thain discovered in the yellow sand world. It is also the starting point for Thain to find his way back.

Whenever Thain loses his direction in the sea of ​​sand, he will return to the Sand Valley and start exploring again based on the marks he left.

Considering the area of ​​the yellow sand world, most of it is quicksand.

The location of the space channel may also change every moment.

As time went by, Thain's chances of finding the spatial coordinates became lower and lower, and his heart gradually sank.

"Maybe I can go deep into the sand valley instead of losing my way in the yellow sand and driving myself crazy to death."

"I would rather die in the process of discovering the unknown as a truth seeker." Thain thought to himself after having gained nothing for nearly a year.

No matter how many times Thain comes to this sandy valley inhabited by sandworms, he will find that it has not changed much.

The special funnel topography means that the occasional sandstorm from the outside cannot affect the inside of this sand valley.

As for the nature of the quicksand... Thain found that the sand valley did not seem to be moving.

That's why Thane can find it again and again.

Whether it was curiosity, the torment of a lonely life, or some other factor, Thain once again entered the depths of the center of the Sand Valley.

The huge and deep cave entrance still appears in the center of the sand valley.

This hole has not been repaired by the sandworms since Thane last blew it out.

The number of sandworms living outside the cave entrance is obviously much smaller.

Thain did not see those large and medium-sized sandworms.

As far as the eye can see, there are all small and dense sandworms.

Thanks to his research on the characteristics of sandworms, Thain is no longer as stiff and fearful when facing these little things as he was at the beginning.

Just like returning to his own home, when Thain used the water polo technique to cover his body with a thin film of water, he even walked less than two meters away from the sandworm swarm.

The dangerous environment and lonely life allowed Thain to hone his magic skills to the extreme.

At least more than half a year ago, he would never have been able to micromanage water polo to this extent.

Not only the water ball technique, but also other magic mastered by Thane.

The Dharma was also refined to a very high level by him.

After all, in the yellow sand world, Thain has no new channels to obtain knowledge.

He can only acquire knowledge through his own research, or repeatedly study his magic books and practice the magic he has mastered.

The appearance of the water film lowered Thain's body temperature, making him look like a transparent person.

Including the nature of the water, those tiny sandworms dare not get even close.

However, this can only deceive those small sandworms. Sandworms with a body size of more than two meters will not buy Thain's account.

Otherwise, Thane would not have taken back those elemental beads more than half a year ago by using magic cannons, but would have taken them back in a gentler and low-key way.

After collecting some sandworm specimens again, Thain looked around and then jumped into the cave.

…

Maybe it’s because there’s yellow sand in all directions and the sun is shining brightly outside.

A faint light came through the underground space hollowed out by the sandworms.

However, the overall tone is still darker.

This reminded Thane of the underworld of the Underdark.

The situation in this underground cave is slightly different from what Thain expected.

He didn't see too many sandworms here, and he didn't know where those giant sandworms had gone.

A layer of relatively hard yellow mucus with slurry properties appears in every corner of the cave.

Thain collected a little bit out of habit. The super adhesive properties of this mucus allowed him to initially judge that there was no collapse in the underground space, which should be based on this mucus.

"It doesn't seem to be the liquid after the sandworm melted. What exactly is it, the body fluid of the sandworm?" Thain thought to himself.

Continuing to move deeper into the underground space, this time, he saw those giant sandworms.

In a huge sand pit that looks like a greenhouse, more than a dozen giant sandworms ranging from two to ten meters in size are rolling and squirming in it.

White eggs of different sizes appeared in every corner of this huge sand pit.

The small ones are only the size of grains of sand, while the large ones are half a meter in diameter.

Thain even saw an entity larger than the giant sandworm king last time. Thain's initial judgment was that the opponent's body length was almost sixteen meters.

However, among the giant sandworms in front of him, the one that impressed Thain the most was the two medium-sized sandworms with a body length of almost seven meters.

insect.

These two sandworms have only one mouth, and the obvious gap at the other end of their tails all marks that they are the giant sandworms that were injured by Thain a year ago.

"Not only did it not die, it also split into two. Is the vitality of the giant sandworm so exaggerated?" Thain couldn't help but whisper.

At this time, Thain, who was wearing tattered robes and hiding in the corner of the underground space, did not attract the attention of the giant sandworms in the sand pit.

They seem to be busy producing offspring, and the densely packed white eggs are the result of their time.

With a research mentality, Thain crawled to the sandpit and took away many sandworm eggs.

The space ring cannot contain dynamic living creatures, but these sandworm eggs are obviously not included in this category.

Perhaps because he really wanted to study something, or perhaps because he was just impatient, the courageous Sean touched the area closer to the center of the sand pit.

Relying on the large amount of remaining space in his space ring, he also took in the giant egg with a diameter of half a meter.

This collection was bad.

The 16-meter-long giant sandworm king, which was rolling with another sandworm, suddenly roared.

Feeling the disappearance of the breath of its offspring, the giant sandworm king did not care to continue rolling. After throwing the sandworm next to it away, its fanged mouth immediately aimed at Sean who was crawling on the ground.

The lock of the sandworm king made Sean's hair stand on end.

Without continuing to hide his figure, Sean stood up immediately and ran deeper into the underground space.

Sean did not choose to return to the surface of his body immediately because the "rustling" sound of the sandworm tide squirming echoed behind him, indicating that his retreat had been cut off.

Now he could only bite the bullet and continue to rush deeper into this underground space.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Sean found that the rustling sound of the sandworms chasing behind him gradually disappeared.

The surrounding space became much darker again. Of course, this also indicated that this underground space was larger than he had imagined.

"Come here, spellcasters from the wizarding world, we can make a deal." A voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female suddenly came to Sean's mind, causing Sean to have a splitting headache.

It was not that this voice intended to harm Sean, but that the gap between its life energy level and Sean's was too big.

Just a voice of will made Sean, who was an apprentice, a little overwhelmed, which was enough to show how powerful the opponent's body was.
