Chapter 864 -529 Sand Worm King_2

“Oh oh, okay!”

Duke, who was observing his surroundings nervously with a dagger in hand, responded quickly and walked towards Lis.

Swish!

The silver moon’s radiance scattered across the desert, the cool breeze whisking away the day’s heat, but this tranquility was soon shattered by a mysterious sound.

It seemed some creatures beneath the sand dunes were stirring, emitting low, dense sounds. These noises were like ancient calls from the desert, making one’s heart tremble.

Soon, the sand dunes around the encampment began to show anomalies, grains of sand gently moved by invisible hands, continually sliding down, revealing winding, twisting tracks.

These tracks became more numerous and dense, as if countless creatures were shuttling beneath the dunes.

Suddenly, numerous brown heads, each the size of an arm, emerged from below the dunes, numbering in the hundreds!

Sandworms!

And there were so many of them!

These sandworms were several meters long, their entire bodies covered with hard shells, their heads displaying a peculiar brown color.

The sandworms’ eyes had regressed, but the people in the encampment seemed to still feel the greedy gaze from the sandworms.

Everyone in the encampment instantly tensed up, gripping their weapons tightly, vigilantly watching these sandworms.

The sandworms, seemingly repelled by the strange scent around the encampment, surrounded them but did not move closer.

Why are there so many sandworms?

Blais was somewhat surprised.

The strength of sandworms was generally low, usually only Bronze-ranked, occasionally a Silver-ranked sandworm would appear.

Typically, a group of sandworms would number about ten, at most twenty or thirty.

What was the situation with over a hundred sandworms here?

Despite disliking the smell of the potion, these sandworms did not leave, as if they were waiting for something.

The entire dune seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, starting to tremble violently. Sand grains flew wildly like waves stirred by a storm, blotting out the sky.

At this moment, a massive figure suddenly emerged from the dune, its body over a meter thick, protruding four to five meters high, winding like a giant python.

This was a gigantic sandworm, its body covered with hard black shells, shimmering with a cold shine, its enormous mouth filled with grimacing teeth dripping saliva, emitting a terrifying hissing sound, incredibly horrifying.

Compared to it, other sandworms looked like inconspicuous long chopsticks.

Feeling the powerful aura from this sandworm, Blais could hardly believe it.

“Golden-ranked… sandworm?”

How could this be?

Is there really a Sand Worm King?

Before Blais could react, the Sand Worm King roared and lunged towards the encampment.

The surrounding sandworms seemed to receive an order and charged towards the encampment.

Disaster!

Blais quickly realized the trouble was significant.

While the other sandworms could be dealt with, the Sand Worm King was truly troublesome.

This was the sandworms’ territory, and Blais did not have the confidence to defeat this Golden-ranked demon.

Similarly, without his support, the remaining guards of the caravan would have extreme difficulty resisting the attacks of the other sandworms. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The appearance of the Sand Worm King instantly plunged the entire encampment into a highly tense atmosphere. Its massive body moved rapidly towards the encampment, as if intending to devour everyone.

Blais couldn’t hesitate, and immediately charged towards the Sand Worm King.

Only he had the ability to stop this Sand Worm King.

Meanwhile, Blais shouted out:

“Mr. Lis, please lend your assistance, I am willing to offer you a satisfactory reward!”

The others in the caravan didn’t have time to care about this, as they were already fighting the sandworms.

The sandworms’ shells were hard and smooth, seemingly wrapped in an invisible shield, making the warriors’ longswords difficult to penetrate.

They could only grit their teeth and use all their strength to try to repel these fearsome creatures. Every time a sword struck a sandworm, it mostly sparked but failed to inflict substantial damage.

The mages in the team were still trying to maintain the magic they had previously cast, preventing the sandworms from launching sneak attacks from below.

Compared to them, the Silver Rank Professionals seemed much more relaxed. They possessed greater strength and skills, capable of easily breaking through the sandworms’ shells, inflicting lethal damage.

However, even so, facing the numerous sandworms, the guards of the caravan were still struggling.

The battle between the guards and the sandworms was exceptionally fierce, both sides fighting with all their might.

The sandworms squirmed, trying to bite the guards with their grimacing mouthparts. The guards, in turn, wielded their weapons, attempting to protect themselves and the caravan.

Blais gripped his sword tightly, his eyes resolute, fully aware of the heavy responsibility he now bore.

Even though he fought with all his strength, his sword light as swift as lightning, the Sand Worm King’s shell was too hard, making it difficult for his attacks to cause significant damage. The sword light left only shallow marks on the Sand Worm King’s body, unable to penetrate its thick shell.

Even using Advanced Battle Skills to break through the Sand Worm King’s shell, the injuries inflicted were insignificant compared to its massive body.

The Sand Worm King, seemingly enraged by Blais’ attacks, began to squirm more violently, stirring up a storm of yellow sand.

The yellow sand fogged the sky, making the entire battlefield blurry. Blais struggled desperately within the yellow sand, trying to keep his vision clear, but the Sand Worm King’s attacks grew increasingly fierce.

It opened its grimacing mouth, exposing sharp teeth, attempting to bite Blais. Blais shifted his body and narrowly escaped the Sand Worm King’s attack.

However, the Sand Worm King’s tail swept down like a giant whip, hitting Blais heavily and sending him flying.

At the same time, the caravan’s defensive circle continued to shrink under the sandworms’ attack, finally unable to hold.

A warrior’s longsword was knocked away by a sandworm, and he fell to the ground, overwhelmed. Several sandworms closed in on him.

Buzz~

Several breaking sounds suddenly echoed, and the sandworms charging at the warrior were suddenly struck by arrows from behind, their bodies severed, their brown blood seeping into the desert.

Duke looked back and saw Lis suddenly holding a green longbow, its body glowing with pale blue Wind Element light.

Without stopping, Lis drew the bow and arrow, the swift wind enveloping the arrows.

Lis released the arrow, it streaking like a green flash, fiercely striking the distant Sand Worm King.

At that moment, the air seemed to tear apart, emitting a sharp whistle.

The Sand Worm King roared in pain, the deafening sound echoing across the desert.

The Sand Worm King’s head was half-shattered by the arrow, its body trembling violently.

The Sand Worm King, furious and a bit scared, twisted its body to struggle, but Lis’ arrow was already deeply embedded in its head, the pale blue swift wind enveloping its body, preventing it from acting recklessly like before.

“So strong!”

Blais felt tonight’s surprises were too many.

Lais’ previous arrow, Blais felt he couldn’t block.

With the pale blue light flashing continuously on the battlefield, the situation gradually turned favorable.

Lis didn’t take control of the entire battle, only intervening when the caravan members encountered danger.

Soon, the caravan members understood, and began to proactively attack.

With a big shot backing them, wasn’t this the best practice opportunity?

Even Duke stepped forward repeatedly, using all his strength to kill two sandworms successfully.

Feeling somewhat exhausted, Duke retreated, breathing heavily and looking back.

Seeing Lis leisurely strolling in the center of the encampment, occasionally raising his hand to shoot an arrow.

It appeared that whether the hundred sandworms or the Sand Worm King, none were taken seriously by Lis.

Lord Lis…is a hunter, not a warrior?

So incredibly strong!

I wonder if I’ve met his expectations?
