Chapter 180 Go quickly and invite Chairman Qin (Third update)
"President Qin, something bad has happened!" Zhou Xiaqing ran over, her coat slightly disheveled from the rush, and with rapid breathing, she gently patted her chest to calm her surging life force.

Qin Ziwen stopped shoveling and gently advised, "Don't rush, organize your thoughts and tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

Zhou Xiaqing's Chinese expression skills are quite good, and she quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

After the sandstorm, their student union sent out several teams to investigate the situation inside the canyon.

Most teams have returned, but there is still no news from one team.

As evening fell, the others went to search for the group and finally found the missing students on a hillside—they were trapped on a high ground.

The highlands are surrounded by sand dunes, and beneath those dunes lurks more than one giant desert worm.

They can't get down now, and rescuers can't get in either.

Teacher Luo then told her to quickly go and invite Chairman Qin.

"I know about the desert giant worm."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Qin Ziwen's eyes.

Come to think of it, we've never dealt with a Level 2 challenge objective before!
I wonder how many crossbow bolts this giant desert worm can withstand.

"Okay, this is a matter of life and death. Wait for me downstairs, I'll go back and get ready."

"You can prepare to die now." A young man squatted on the rock, rubbing his numb right leg.

He looked at the sand dunes beneath his feet with a sense of despair.

Half an hour earlier, one of their team members wanted to take a gamble.

He tentatively ran down the dune, but after only a dozen meters, he was swallowed whole by a giant desert worm lurking at the bottom of the dune.

Have you written your wills?

“I wrote it a long time ago. If they have the chance to return to Earth in the future, my parents might have a chance to see it.”

An atmosphere of despair permeated the stone.

The giant worm under the dune was very patient, like a seasoned hunter.

"I saw Lao Luo."

They pointed to the distance, more than a hundred meters away, where an open space was filled with people.

In this area, thick sand dunes have accumulated along the western outer side of the canyon, beyond which lies a relatively sparse environment.

Although current speculation suggests that this giant desert worm only lives in sand dunes, a distance of over 100 meters is still an insurmountable barrier for them.

"Hey brothers, I might not be able to hold on much longer. I'm so thirsty. Instead of waiting to die here, let's find a chance to run down together and escape separately. I don't believe this monster can eat us all at the same time."

"What if there's more than one down there?"

"Then let me lure it out first, to give you a chance to escape as soon as possible."

"Wait, look, what's that?" On the rock, someone pointed to the distance where two cart-mounted crossbows were being pushed over. Compared to ordinary weapons, the cart-mounted crossbows were particularly conspicuous in this wilderness.

"Is this the vehicle-mounted crossbow?" Some of the classmates around Luo Gang, who hadn't seen a vehicle-mounted crossbow that afternoon, cast curious glances at him.

We have the weapons, and we have the target.

"The biggest challenge now is how to bring it out."

As Qin Ziwen spoke, he looked around at the surrounding environment. On the sand dunes, there were raised marks.

If snakes leave a dented mark when they glide across the sand, then these raised marks are the marks left on the surface by worms as they pass through the inside of the dunes.

This giant desert worm didn't even show itself, so it was impossible to tell where it was shooting.

"I've found the bait, and it'll be here soon," Luo Gang said. "But there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

"what's up?"

“My students are probably hungry and thirsty, and I would like to ask your pet to help deliver some food and water to them.”

"no problem."

Qin Ziwen readily agreed.

The harpy eagle, clutching a bag, delivered it from the sky to the people on the rocks.

Upon receiving the bag and seeing the water and food inside, the students on the rock were moved to tears.

Another hour later, the bait that Luo Gang had mentioned finally arrived.

They were two fresh animal carcasses, still warm to the touch.

The surface was cut open, and a large amount of blood flowed out.

The body was left on the edge of the desert.

The brightly lit bait was placed right in the face of the giant desert worm. Given their body structure, it's uncertain whether they have brains, but they certainly wouldn't miss such obvious food.

The giant desert worm, which has always lived in the desert, is the overlord of this Gobi Desert.

Their natural habits make them accustomed to traversing the sand. Except for the period when they are young, when they may need to be careful of some predators, they have almost no natural enemies in the desert when they become adults.

Soon, a giant desert worm slowly poked its head out from the edge of the dune.

It has chrysanthemum-shaped mouthparts, a robust body over a meter in diameter, and its body surface appears to be covered with a dark brown hard shell.

It slowly opened its mouth, its head swelled to twice its original size, swallowed the prey's head, and slowly wrapped around the entire corpse.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One on the left and one on the right, like two heavy drums being struck.

The giant desert worm's head exploded instantly.

Countless yellowish-brown liquids splashed out.

At the same time, its body seemed to be severely whipped by a tremendous force.

It twisted into an exaggerated arc, and large patches of yellowish-brown liquid also splashed up from the side of its body.

"Ho-"

A broken hiss came from the giant mouthparts of the desert worm.

Half of its face, if its chrysanthemum-shaped mouthparts were part of its head, was completely torn apart by a thick crossbow bolt.

Its body was then pierced by another crossbow bolt.

The severely damaged desert worm writhed wildly, its massive body bursting out of the sand.

Its body, over fifteen meters long, struggled violently on the surface of the dunes, each thud kicking up clouds of dust.

"Load the arrows, mount the crossbow!" Cao Biansheng gripped the lever with both hands and slowly pulled the millstone, drawing the bowstring of the crossbow from the cart little by little.

The thick crossbow bolt was nocked again.

"hurry up."

Cao Biansheng muttered to himself, sweat beading on his forehead as he stared intently at the giant desert worm in the distance.

Beside him, Qin Ziwu was also turning the millstone, reloading another crossbow bolt.

The biggest problem with vehicle-mounted crossbows is that it takes too long to change the bolt after firing, at least eight or nine seconds.

Finally, the two reloaded their crossbows, but the giant desert worm was still struggling in place.

Clearly, the injuries inflicted by those two crossbow bolts were not minor.

Holding their breath, the two simultaneously aimed at the giant desert worm.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two giant crossbow bolts were fired.

One of the streaks grazed the writhing body of the giant desert worm.

Before anyone could even feel regret, another crossbow bolt struck the target!
It struck the remaining half of the desert giant worm's face directly.

Two thick crossbow bolts were stuck in its head, one on the left and one on the right.

The giant desert worm's tail instantly rose high, reaching a height of five or six meters.

After a stalemate of seven or eight seconds, he finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.

It lay quietly in place, with three huge arrows stuck in its body, pinned to the desert!

Until the surface of the body, a large number of light spots condensed.

Above its body, three cards floated.

Only then did everyone realize that it was dead.

“Awesome!!!”

"That's incredible! He actually killed that!" "You're my god!"

The students erupted in thunderous cheers.

Cao Biansheng and Qin Ziwu were surrounded by the crowd and tossed high into the air.

Qin Ziwen also received a notification.
