These body fluids were the blood of the giant blood worm.

Obviously, the injured giant blood worm fled from this underground dry river.

Although it was seriously injured, the injury was not fatal. This kind of annelid creature also had the ability to regenerate like an earthworm. Even if half of its body was cut off, it could still grow back if there was sufficient food source.

After this worm abandoned the severely injured half of its body, the injury stopped getting worse. This was the same as medical amputation.

Their focus now was rescuing Stassen, so Fang Linyan wanted to avoid unnecessary battles. However, Guseer had been following the fluids on the ground.

Fang Linyan frowned. After all, the injured giant blood worm was still an insect. Driven by nature, it would definitely find a safe place to recuperate after being seriously injured, and this place was probably their nest.

If they kept moving forward, it wouldn’t be surprising if they ran into the giant blood worm’s lair.

Under the lead of Guseer, they walked through the maze-like underground tunnels, sometimes crawling and sometimes bending down. They just walked for a dozen minutes, and they were getting really dizzying.

After walking for almost half an hour, they entered a very spacious underground cave.

This should be the giant blood worm’s nest. It was about half the size of a football field. The surrounding environment is very humid, with water still seeping from the rocks. There was a foul stench spreading in the air.

In the middle of the nest, there were many 2 person-height stones with a lot of mucus. According to the habits of giant blood worms, they like to curl their bodies to sleep on the smooth surface of stones. These stones should be their bed.

The ceiling of the nest was about 10 meters high. There were 3 passages on the surrounding stone walls. The exits were polished very smoothly.

The first thing that caught their eyes was 300 square meter muddy pond on the edge of the nest. This should be the entertainment and healing area of ??the giant blood worms.

The half giant blood worm was now lurking in the mud. From time to time it would let out a strange whine because of the pain, and its huge body was also trembling slightly.

Although Fang Linyan and the others were extra cautious after entering the periphery of ??the nest, the giant blood worm seemed to sense their movements based on the ground wave vibrations. It immediately raised its body like a cobra and became alert.

Vulture aimed at the worm, but its weakness, that was, the brain nerves on the third segment of the body were blocked.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they immediately stopped. This half giant blood worm didn’t pose much of a threat, but Fang Linyan was worried that it would call for help from the others.

If an elite giant blood worm was alerted, not to mention saving Stassen, even staying alive would be difficult.

Fortunately, Guseer could continue approaching under the shelter of the rocks. Although its weight was much larger than Fang Linyan and others, its powerful hunting instinct allowed it to stay within the giant blood worm’s blind spot.

About 15 meters away, Guseer also stopped. This was the limit of how close it could get. At this time, the giant blood worm had lowered its body and curled up in the mud to recuperate from its injuries.

If the giant blood worm hadn’t broken off its tail, it might still be able to detect Guseer’s approach with its unique sensing organ in its tail. The monster had no idea that death was imminent!

Fang Linyan pondered for a moment, then he picked up a piece of gravel and threw it.

The gravel drew an arc and landed on the stone wall to the right of the giant blood worm.

The sound of gravel colliding against the stone wall immediately attracted the attention of the monster. It instinctively stood upright and turned around, letting out threatening hisses.

However, it just sensed a piece of gravel falling from the cave ceiling. There was nothing abnormal.

So after a period of confusion, it curled up again.

But at this time, it had turned its back to Guseer, so an ice spike shot out in an instant, hitting the giant blood worm in the head!

After being suddenly injured, the giant blood worm was about to emit a warning screech, but what followed was an extremely cold light blue breath, which instantly stunned it for 4 seconds.

Fang Linyan and Vulture rushed forward at the same time while Goat took over the electromagnetic rifle and fired.

Why were they doing this? Of course, it was to make as little noise as possible to avoid attracting other monsters. When the electromagnetic rifle fired, the noise was very low, within the acceptable range.

In just 2 seconds, Vulture jumped into the air, pulled out a weapon that was both a dagger and a flying knife from under his cloak, and launched an attack from directly above!

This dagger, which emitted a faint blue light, easily cut through the outer skin and the thick meat ring of the giant blood worm and stabbed into its cerebral nerve plexus.

Fang Linyan smashed the unpinned grenade into its open mouth and pushed it into the mud.

2 seconds later, there was a dull sound in the mud. Dust from the top of the nest shook, yellow sand splashed, and the disgusting mud mixed with worm blood splashed everywhere. The stench was unbearable.

After a few seconds, the giant blood worm’s corpse slowly emerged from the mud with a large amount of turbid bubbles.

Under the huge explosion power, the giant blood worm’s head had been blown into pieces.

Under their union attack, the injured giant blood worm was killed in seconds.

Goat squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then he suddenly stepped forward, dug out a shiny electronic chip from the worm’s head, and said excitedly,

“These monsters are really artificially cultivated. I have seen 2 soldiers in the convoy looking for something in the corpses of giant blood worms before they evacuated. They should be looking for this thing. It should be able to trade for a decent amount of Star Consortium’s platinum coins.”

Vulture was also surprised,

“No wonder Star Consortium wants to develop a biological weapon with evolutionary properties like Alien. They must have suffered against Capsule Technology’s advanced biological weapon, so they want to make progress in this field.”

Fang Linyan observed more carefully, and he saw a thin film of mucus on the rock wall. After walking over, he curiously poked it open, only to find that a person inside was rushing toward him.

Fang Linyan was shocked by this sudden event. He instinctively kicked the man flying several meters away.

However, after taking action, he realized that there was something wrong with the man’s posture. He looked like a wooden stake falling down, so he withdrew the force in time.

The man rolled on the ground a few times before his identity was revealed. It turned out that this man was none other than the Stassen he was looking for.

He rushed over to check and found that Stassen seemed to have entered a deep sleep, or a state of deep sleep.

He only breathed a dozen times in a minute, which was quite slow. The heartbeat dropped from 60-100 times for normal people to less than 20 times.

Although he was kicked by Fang Linyan, he still did not regain consciousness.

Goat said in surprise,

“What a bingo!! Boss, how did you find this monster’s lair?”

When Fang Linyan looked back, he realized that behind the thin firm he had punctured, there was a cave less than 1 meter deep.

Stassen was sealed inside, half leaning on the thin film. Once the film was broken, he naturally fell toward the outside.

After Stassen fell, Fang Linyan was startled, so he had no time to look at the situation inside the cave. When Goat took a look, he immediately saw 3 eggs inside. The eggs were only pigeon-size eggs.

He picked up one and cast [Reconnaissance] curiously.

As a result, the [Reconnaissance] actually charged 500 common points. He was joyfully surprised because the charges proved that the eggs were valuable.

Goat knew that Vulture and Fang Linyan would be confused if he said it directly, so he simply shared the information in the team channel.

TL: Shouldn’t they get out ASAP? How could the enemy lair be so empty?
