The knight in the abyss

Chapter 740 Eating and being eaten
The purple worm, a subterranean predator, is one of the largest known creatures, notable for its plate-like carapace, deadly tail spines, and mouth large enough to swallow large domestic animals.Like most underground creatures, their eyesight is almost completely degraded, but they have extremely excellent hearing and tremor perception abilities, and can accurately understand everything that happens on the surface.

At the same time, their intelligence is even the lowest among animals, essentially no different from an ordinary worm.They are more like a simple, hungry, and always-eating natural force, combined with the unique curse of this level, and this natural disaster-like monster was born in front of everyone.

However, as its size became larger, the corrosiveness of the acid in its body did not increase at the same time, and the space in its stomach also increased a lot.If it swallowed other creatures on this level that were also enlarged due to the influence of the curse, then this would not be a problem, but for Lancelot and his party who came from the outside world, this gave them some opportunities to struggle .

Of course, before jumping in desperately, Lancelot didn't think so much.

Of course, there is no light source in the worm body, but this obviously cannot constitute any hindrance to Lancelow's vision.The wide cavity has a radius of five feet, surrounded by folds and raised pink flesh walls, above which hangs a layer of viscous, translucent yellow digestive fluid.

A blue light enveloped Lancelot's body, preventing the disgusting mucus from touching his skin, and at the same time pushing the human knight to go deeper.

After just a few breaths, he saw the figures of his two companions.Little Isa was hugging Brutal's back tightly, looking terrified, while the dwarf was still struggling hard, ignoring the mucus that would cause severe pain, trying hard to get on the wall of his flesh. caught a bump on it, but apparently couldn't make any progress.

"Bluto! I'm coming!" Lancelot yelled downward, "Don't move!"

"Big brother?!"

The dwarf replied in surprise, and it sounded like he could still struggle for a while.Lancelot settled down a little, quickly executed a tactic in his hand, and summoned a thick vine, which immediately entangled the dwarf and quickly pulled him to his side.Lancelot opened his hands, hugged Brutal and little Isa together in his arms, his blue aura of body protection also enveloped his friends, and instantly evaporated all the disgusting slime.

"Ha! It's so reassuring to see you!" Brutal yelled at him across little Isa, "But how could you be eaten too?"

"What, if it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't have come in by myself..."

"Wow, I'm so touched! Little Isha, did you hear that? They came here to save me!"

"...save you guys."

"Hey, it's about the same. But what do we do next? How do we get out?"

"We are in the belly of that big bug." Lancelot said with a light smile, "It should be the one to worry about!"

The vines that entangled the dwarves grew rapidly, binding the three of them tightly together, freeing up Lancelot's hands to do other things.He originally wanted to take out one of the two holy swords from the dimension bag, whichever one should be enough to dig out an escape exit, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he decided to adopt another more 'direct' method.

"Don't be afraid." Lancelot patted little Isa's blonde hair, "We'll be out soon."

Accompanied by a series of complex handprints, the aura around Lancelot's body suddenly surged, and a phantom of green vines appeared in the air.In the next instant, countless arm-thin vines gushed out from the aura, and each vine had many round spores at the end. These spores quickly grew into fist-sized mushrooms at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then the canopy of the mushrooms Split from the middle, revealing small mouths full of fine fangs.

"Damn it, you look like an octopus with a hundred tentacles now." Brutal's face was as green as a summer meadow under the light of the aura, "I forgot you can do this trick gone."

"I almost forgot too." Lancelot shrugged, "It must be that damned curse..."

Kalalin and Aramiel, who stood hundreds of feet away, were shocked to see that the terrifying giant beast suddenly began to twitch violently as if it had been struck by lightning.Its body coiled up high like a cobra, made a movement as if it was about to vomit, and then crazily hit the ground like a headless fly, causing the entire mountain to shake violently like an earthquake. The frightened two hurriedly ran further away, so as not to be affected by the monster's dying struggle.

However, life disappeared from the body of the giant armored worm at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it soon fell limply to the ground, like a sea fish thrown into the desert by magic.Less than a minute later, the monster stopped twitching completely. From the perspective of Alamer, the priest of the life domain, the monster was undoubtedly completely dead.

The two looked at each other and walked forward cautiously.When they were less than thirty feet away from the carapace, one of the carapaces suddenly moved, and the two men almost turned around and ran away in fright. They would have done that if they hadn't seen the figure behind the carapace.

Holding little Isa in his arms, Lancelow walked out of the worm's corpse while holding the dwarf with his eyes closed.Behind him was still floating a phantom of a blue vine, and countless bucket-thick solid vines were quickly withdrawing, turning into a group of turquoise light spots again, and blending into the phantom.

When all the vines were retracted, the huge insect corpse also collapsed like a neatly placed domino.Karalin and Aramiel looked intently, and were surprised to find that there was not even a trace of flesh and blood left in the carapaces, as if they had been eaten up by some bloodthirsty locusts.

"The kind of ability you got in the Finser troll's lair?" Aramiel raised an eyebrow at him.

"Yes." Lancelot nodded, "I planned to dig a hole and come out..."

"How do you feel now? Is there some kind of... desire fulfilled?"

"Not at all." Lancelot's face collapsed, "I manipulated those vines to eat, and it will be converted into energy after eating, and it won't be connected to my stomach... Even if I could, I don't have such a big stomach what."

"Eating ourselves is also converted into energy." The elf priest shrugged, "Stand still, let me heal your injuries..."

After some adjustments, everyone started moving towards the top of the mountain again. This time, there was nothing to disturb them. About half an hour later, what they were looking for suddenly appeared in front of them: a floating in mid-air, inside A pure white portal is the entrance to the Obscure Realm.

"That's it, it's exactly the same as the scene in Tijana's crystal ball." Lancelot turned to look at the partners, "Are you ready to enter the kingdom of the dead?"

No one spoke, but from their eyes, Lancelot knew that everyone was ready.
