Chapter 1264: Devouring at the Mouth of the Insects

kly.Sun Yi ate a small box of seaweed rice and closed her eyes to rest. She would need to switch out Sun Wang in a while, after all, he was a novice, and she wasn't very reassured about leaving him al...The Ripple's clones and companions diligently mined ore, while Ripple, accompanied by Doudou, had already reached the inner circle and witnessed the sandworms "meeting."

All the sandworms diligently provide sustenance to the central mother worm, and the crimson mother worm in the middle is busily absorbing nutrients, constantly wriggling her body to expel the eggs from her abdomen.

"Ugh, this meal gave me serious 'arachnophobia' vibes."

Ripples felt that it was a bit spicy for the eyes.

"Master, please conceal your aura."

"Please do your best," Duoduo reminded earnestly.

"You know, the purest gold ore you've found is the one under the Mother Worm's body, right"

The ripples continued to carry the sound as they asked.

At this moment, she was caught in a net woven by Dodo, clinging to the mine wall, slowly moving upwards towards the top of the cave wall directly above the mother worm's location.

In order not to be discovered, Ripple also activated her own talent skill, disguising herself as a piece of gold sand ore. Doudou was disguised as a root that accidentally emerged from the ore.

Has night come yet

Ripple asked.

He is creeping over here, it will take another half hour.

Dodo replied immediately.

"Once the mother worm starts laying eggs, we make our move. You distract it while I lead the firefly into its line of sight."

"Got it!"

Doudou was also getting excited. Being able to trick the child of luck, she felt a little thrill too.

After parting ways with the others in the evening, Lian Xi followed his instincts and walked towards the center of the gold mine.

As he journeyed, he discovered that the grade of ore he encountered was also increasing. He had now reached a place where high-grade gold sand ore appeared, and occasionally, there were even pieces of top-grade gold sand ore mixed in. This made him increasingly excited.

"As expected, my good luck has returned. This time, as long as I find the top-grade gold sand ore, even if I don't go to the cave dwelling of that Nascent Soul cultivator, this trip will be worthwhile."

"Sssshhh," a faint sound scraped past Lian Xi's ear, something sliding along the mine wall. He immediately noticed it.

At dusk, Lian Xi's expression turned grave. He teleported consecutively, following the direction of the sound.

Then he saw a vine with a red flower on top quickly disappearing into the corner of the hole.

"That's the plant!"

At dusk, Lian Xiye was very familiar with this plant. Since entering the Endless Desert, he had seen it twice. The first time was when he killed sandworms, and the second time was when they eliminated a blue mushroom. Now it appeared here again, he felt that the other party was sent to help him.

If DuoDuo had found out about LianXiYe's thoughts, she would have spat and cursed. Thinking so beautifully when she looks so ugly! DuoDuo has always only guarded her master.

"Master, I have lured him over!"

Duo Duo immediately transmitted her voice.

He's not afraid of anything, daring to venture in alone.

Liàn yī mǐ zhe hú li xiǎo shuō dào.

"How audacious! Or perhaps, more greedy. He wouldn't even bother with the high-grade gold sand ore on the road, probably eyeing only the finest pieces."

The mother worm has started to lay eggs!

Ripple watched as a white, membraned egg emerged from the rear of the mother worm. The surrounding sand worms immediately agitated, writhing with excitement as if celebrating the successful birth of the mother worm.

Then came the second egg, the third, the fourth..., ripples, upon seeing Lian Xi's nightgown at that moment, suddenly released her divine sense, targeting the top-grade gold sand ore beneath the mother worm, nourishing her.

The moment divine consciousness enveloped the ore, it immediately caused a stir among the sandworms. As the ripples absorbed the gold-sand ore into space, the mother worm, attacked by the divine consciousness, let out a piercing shriek, emitting high-decibel wails of agony.

Thus, production was halted. The mother worm, deprived of the gold sand beneath her, had twisted into a knot and ceased laying eggs. She simply rolled about there.

This incident also disrupted the surrounding sandworms, who quickly zeroed in on the culprit.

Lian Xiye, just as she cautiously sent out a sliver of her divine consciousness, was unlucky. Not only was her divine consciousness devoured, but she also exposed herself.

Witnessing the sand worms surging toward him, his face was as pale as death under the moonlight. He crushed a teleportation talisman directly, and vanished in an instant.

Inside, ripples stirred, mmp. With an unchanged expression on his face, he utilized the talent of his Illusory Sky Fox to swap places with his main body. This allowed his avatar to temporarily draw the sandworm's fire, giving him time to warn everyone else to run.

The ripple-like figure above the mother worm instantly vanished and solidified again, then released its divine sense, attracting the sand worms' attention and keeping those frenzied sand worms in the center.

Mo Shang Chen felt the air around him ripple. He looked sharply at Li, who had stopped digging.

"Eileen, what happened"

"That idiot last night, he actually provoked hundreds of sand worms and ran away after crushing his teleportation scroll, leaving us to take the fall!"

The ripple sound spoke in a chilling tone.

"What"

The dust on the road was startled.

"Now is not the time for details, notify everyone to leave immediately. Anyway, we've dug quite a bit, so we're not at a loss."

Ripple neatly put away the mining pick and took all the gold ore mined by his clones into his spatial storage. Then he turned around to call Du Yan.

Mo Shang called upon Mu Sheng and Ye Qing, and the five of them quickly returned along the original path.

When they left the crevice, Mo Shang Chen swept his sleeve, filling it with dust. The group returned to the center of the barren land once more.

This time, Ripple was the last one to go up. She had already communicated with Duo Duo. After she came out, she stood suspended in mid-air, and the incantation in her hand had already formed afterimages.

As each incantation left her lips, the blue-capped fungal nest was filled with sand. She landed again, pressing her palm against the ground. Circles of green light rippled outward from her fingertips, spreading across the barren wasteland.

Ripple's expression was relaxed because DoDo was the one really putting in the effort.

All the energy that DuoDuo had absorbed from the Blue Cap Psychedelic Mushroom and the black puppets was returned to this barren land.

On the dusty plain, several people felt a pure wood elemental energy spreading outward in ripples. The previously withered plants revived with new life, and patches of green grass sprouted from the sand. The almost dried-up water pits transformed back into a lake, and a gentle breeze rippled across its surface, bringing with it refreshing moisture. The barren wasteland was once again a vibrant oasis.

"Master, the spiritual energy I've been accumulating for you is depleted. Shall we continue If we do, Doudou will be drained."

Dou Dou Chuan Yin Dao.

"No, this is fine."

Ripple didn't have the habit of being overly affectionate with her pets. She retracted her hand and walked towards the dusty road.

Everyone looked at the ripples with complicated eyes, seeming not to know what to say.

"Friend on the road, you should be able to find your direction now, shouldn't you We best leave immediately!"

"All I'm doing is buying time, delaying the sand worms from locking onto and catching up to us. Our luck can't hold forever."

"I understand!"

Mo Shangchen wasn't being sentimental. He flipped out his usual compass and after fifteen minutes, he determined the direction.un thought that it was his biological parents and adoptive parents who had come to settle accounts with him. His mind was in a bit of a mess, always feeling that something was off. However, as an old...
