Chapter 280: Abyssal Worm, Kodo Beast's Feces Proves Its Worth
After the Abyssal Worm swallowed Zong Shen, it closed its mouth.
The next moment, a giant tubular worm drilled out from the ground.
It was over three meters wide and more than ten meters long, resembling an enlarged and elongated concrete pipe.
The surface was covered in black-purple, corrugated shell segments mixed with some mucus, stained by dark soil particles. The corrugated shell contracted like a spring, allowing it to wriggle forward rapidly.
Its upper body had a large chamber-like mouth that was completely closed, shrinking from its maximum width of over two meters to a basketball-sized closed opening, with sharp teeth interlocked in the middle.
Because it had just swallowed Zong Shen, its entire upper body appeared distended.
This creature had no eyes and likely possessed other sensory organs.
"Lord!"
"Quickly rescue the Lord!"
The surrounding warriors hurriedly called out, directing various attacks at the giant worm.
However, the worm's ring-shaped corrugated shell abruptly contracted, propelling it forward over ten meters, raising its rear half. From its rear, a hollow tube as thick as a sea bowl extended, beginning to sway left and right, spitting dark green poison at the pursuing warriors.
This dark green poison was extremely corrosive, sizzling and smoking as it splattered through the air, reacting violently upon hitting the ground and emitting a nauseating stench.
"Ah..."
Several of the fastest wolf cavalry could not dodge in time, and a few drops of poison splattered onto their leather armor, wisps of green smoke rising as the leather was corroded through, then corroding into their flesh.
It melted into thumb-sized black wounds. After spraying poison, the giant worm attempted to continue its escape. Its speed was swift, with each contraction of its ring-shaped body propelling it forward twenty meters or so.
The warriors became anxious, as the Lord had been swallowed just like that.
Zhang Zihao was also bewildered, but this time had better mental resilience. He had a strong premonition that this strange giant worm could not possibly harm Zong Shen.
"Hurry and save the Lord!"
Luna shouted and charged forward, followed by the Wolf Rider Squad and the Exploration Squad launching a charge.
Even though they knew it was impossible for Zong Shen to be harmed so easily, they couldn't possibly allow Zong Shen to be carried in the monster's mouth into the depths of the abyss.
...
At this moment, Zong Shen was indeed in an awkward situation inside the giant mouth!
With the contraction of the long, tooth-filled tubular mouth, Zong Shen felt immense pressure squeezing him, with sharp teeth constantly grating against the surface of his body.
Fortunately, he was fully armed, with protective heavy armor covering him from head to toe, from war boots to leg armor, to armor and helmet, nearly everything protected, even having a [Dragon Turtle's Hard Hide Exploration Backpack] on his back for special protection. The dragon turtle's hard hide had spines, impervious to the sharp teeth.
The sharp teeth continuously rubbed, producing piercing sounds of friction and leaving deep and shallow scratches on his equipment. The durability of all his equipment was rapidly decreasing, and at this rate, it was only a matter of time before Zong Shen's equipment wore out.
Of course, in the friction, many of the teeth within the chamber broke. This segment of the chamber was the part used by the giant worm to chew, where the dense sharp teeth ground and cut prey through its chamber's contraction.
However, today, the prey it had swallowed was indeed somewhat indigestible...
Zong Shen could feel the creature constantly wriggling forward, sometimes up, sometimes down, seemingly burrowing into the earth, without knowing where it intended to take him.
He naturally would not sit still, contemplating countermeasures. Through the slits of his battle helmet, he looked outside into the pitch darkness where nothing was visible, yet detailed attributes appeared.
