Wizard's Journey

Chapter 340 The Nest of the World (Sixteen)

Ten days later.

"Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh..."

Unlike any lair that Arathi and Green's group of witch hunters had ever visited before, the two teams of witch hunters had only just entered the core of this world's lair, the Snowline Lair, when magical lamps floating in mid-air illuminated the entire cold and dark Snowline Lair.

These high-powered magic lamps consume a considerable number of magic stones, and at this moment, the sky is filled with an almost uncountable number of magic lamps...

Shock, an undisguised shock, was written on the faces of every witch hunter who came to the Snowline Nest for the first time.

On the ground, layers upon layers of snow worms crowded together, their numbers stretching as far as the eye could see, numbering in the trillions, their chewing sounds echoing endlessly over the cold rocks and minerals.

These snow worms have an extremely high reproductive capacity and an astonishingly exaggerated ability to survive. Coupled with their incredible numbers constantly consuming the underground minerals day and night, it's no wonder that this cold, frozen world has evolved into the nest world we see today!

A single World Nest tunnel route takes several months to travel, connecting dozens of nest spaces of varying sizes. Within the World Nest, there are nearly tens of thousands of such tunnels, making it a subterranean ant nest that has expanded countless times.

wow...

Suddenly, as Green and his group retreated quickly, a torrent of tens of thousands of snow worms surged down from the tunnel of the Ancient Tiger Frog's Nest, crashing into the endless swarm of snow worms on the ground of the Snowline Nest.

These tens of thousands of snow worms were so insignificant compared to the almost countless "sea of ​​snow worms" on the ground that they quickly blended into the sea and became indistinguishable from one another.

Just now, as the swarm of snow worms devoured the tunnel, the diameter of the tunnel entrance seemed to have widened by a negligible half a centimeter or a quarter centimeter.

"Wow... there are so many, no wonder..."

Ararat scanned the sea of ​​snow worms wriggling and crowding on the ground, a hint of shock showing in his calm, wise eyes.

At this point, any wizard could probably kill hundreds or even thousands of snow worms with a single spell.

Trying to collect "Despair of the Snowworm" here is an easy task.

However, no witcher attempted to do so, because the endless number of snow worms here had completely driven any rational witcher to despair.

goooo...

Xiao Ba swallowed hard, muttering, "My god, it's almost as big as a Void Worm..."

The group stood there stunned for almost half an hourglass before gradually coming to their senses. After silently swallowing, they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe for this tiny creature called the snow worm.

These tiny creatures, residing at the very bottom of the nest world, are the common food of all carnivorous creatures in the nest world, yet they are also the creators of this world!

Without them, there would be no nest world.

even……

Green couldn't help but speculate that it was precisely because of these endless snow worms that certain rules of this world had been completely altered, preventing the birth of any natural elemental creatures in such an extremely cold world.

"Thousand-eyed Crab, go test the thickness of these snow worms," ​​Green ordered.

"Yes, Lord Green."

Suddenly, one of the giant claws of the Thousand-Eyed Crab slashed fiercely at the swarm of snow worms on the ground. With a single blow, thousands of snow worms were crushed to death by the giant claw.

In an instant, the sharp-eyed demon hunters also obtained a rough estimate.

At this point, the average thickness of the snow worm ocean in this snow worm nest has reached two meters, and it continues to dig deeper into the earth's depths.

Perhaps hundreds of years from now, this so-called Snowline Nest will become a new, independent ecosystem nest, and the new core of this world nest, the Snowline Nest, will descend one or several more layers, continuing its endless expansion.

After everyone calmed down, the old witch Alara took out a crystal ball and pointed to the left front, saying, "This way."

Amidst the endless "shh, shh, shh" sounds of snow worms chewing on ore, the group flew towards the second operational command post of the core nest, symbolizing the complete conquest of the Black Sota Stigmata Wizards.

Unlike other nests where vegetation, ravines, hills, and other natural landscapes emerge, the Snowline Nest is nothing but an endless ocean of snow worms, a flat expanse where they huddle together and wriggle.

With a whoosh.

From time to time, a tunnel entrance would appear overhead, from which swarms of snow worms would emerge and fall onto the ground of the Snowline Nest.

"Um?"

Suddenly, everyone stopped again.

Ahead, a layer of locust-human skeletons, several meters high, was piled up on a low hill. Surprisingly, not a single snow worm approached the area where the locust-human skeletons were located.

It seems that in the life instinct of the snow worm, the aura of these locust-men is its natural enemy, and it has even lost any will to resist.

creak!

The crowd stepped on the skeleton of the locust-man, making a "crunch" sound. The brittle bones broke into several pieces before barely bearing the weight.

Looking up, directly above the pile of locust-human skeletons is the entrance to a World Nest tunnel.

"What kind of clue is this?"

The Thousand-Eyed Crab and the two teams of demon hunters circled the small hill several times, each with their own speculations, but no one spoke them aloud, and they all left.

Along the way, we passed dozens of tunnel entrances of all sizes. Almost every now and then, one or two snow worms, or swarms of them, would crawl out of these tunnel entrances and fall into the "sea of ​​snow worms" that was the nest of snow worms.

Every so often, a small group of locust-human skeletons would appear under one or two nest tunnels, causing the snow worms to stay far away.

"Hmm? It seems these snow worms are afraid of the fragrant deathly aura within this crystal core?"

The old witch ALS was flying low in the air, holding a crystal core from a locust-human skeleton that exuded a sweet, deathly aura, while the snow worms around her were wriggling and desperately trying to escape.

Everyone took out a sample of this crystal core and experimented with it.

However, no one said much. This discovery only made everyone pause briefly before they continued flying towards the Black Tower Second Operations Command Center, the core of this nest world.

In the sky, one magical lamp after another floated in mid-air, illuminating the core of the lowest level of this world nest.

Seventeen days later.

The area of ​​the Snowline Nest is now comparable to that of the Tarantula Nest, and it is constantly expanding. Even though Grimm and his fellow demon hunters only traversed a small portion of it, it still took them nearly half a month.

For the past seventeen days, the snow worm has been the only melody in this nest space in the eyes of everyone.

There are just too many of them...

Endless is the best word to describe them!

As the floating magical lights grew denser and denser, forming a brightly lit area in the distance, both the Green and Alashan teams of demon hunters revealed a hint of joy.

We've arrived at the second operational command center of the Nest World!

Roar, roar, roar, roar...

A legion of soul slave monsters gathered nearby, including many behemoths no smaller than the Thousand-Eyed Crab. The arrival of Green and his group caused no ripples.

On the ground, scattered fragrant death aura crystals lay scattered all around, driving away the dense snow worms and providing the wizards with a place to rest.

Although massive objects like spaceships cannot enter these underground nests, mechanical devices similar to mechanical bees are not uncommon.

The combat command center was located inside several block-shaped metal mechanical aircraft, which was also where the Ararat and Green teams received their missions to explore the World Nest.

Logically speaking.

Even though the Black Tower Stigmata Wizard Vanguard Demon Hunter Team had completely cleared this nest tunnel, it still posed a serious threat and obstacle to subsequent Demon Hunter teams.

Therefore, exploring an un-cleared tunnel within the lair world would be an almost impossible task for a typical demon hunter team, given the previous difficulty level.

What purpose do demon hunter squads like Green and Arathi serve in being dispatched to the core of this Snowline Nest?

There must be some special arrangement involved.
