"Bah!" A mouthful of blood-stained saliva was spat onto Krob's somewhat shriveled head by Thane.
After wasting all his strength, Thain only gained half a broken magic wand.
Krob's magic wand seems to be more advanced than Thane's acid cane.
The magical inscriptions engraved on it are much more than Thane's acid cane.
I don’t know if it has reached the level of a formal magic weapon, but unfortunately it was broken at one end.
From the chest down, Krobo's body was completely gone, including only one arm. No wonder Thain had nothing to gain.
Only a black spine connected with some minced meat appeared in front of Thain.
The would-be black magician Krob suffered this fate, and it was entirely his own fault.
After spending a long time with no results, Thain wanted to vent something.
He raised half of the magic wand in his hand and was about to throw it out.
It came, but it was taken back again.
At least it is half a harvest, and the material of this magic wand is also good.
Even if it seems useless, it seems good to replace the acid cane as a digging tool.
Sighing slightly, Thain continued to search nearby.
He actually wanted to take a look deep into the center of the sandy valley, but the crisis reminder from his subconscious told him that it was best not to do this until he completely recovered from his injury.
…
After three consecutive days of searching, Thain discovered the corpses of more than a dozen apprentices.
Most of these corpses were buried under the yellow sand and had lost their vital signs. Thain had not found any living people except him.
It was eroded by the yellow sand, or it may have been affected by the violent ripples of energy elements in the previous chaos.
Thain has collected a lot of medium and low-level magic props, but most of these magic props have been destroyed and have little value.
Although a limited part of it can still be used reluctantly, the loss of internal elements is extremely serious. Whether Thain can repair it remains to be seen.
Putting aside the "garbage" collected, Thain's own losses were actually not small.
Not only were the injuries on his body, but the pale mask that Thain had been wearing on his face had become useless.
The reason why he didn't throw it away was that this low-level magic item was the first magic equipment he captured personally. Like the acid cane, it had a certain significance to Thain.
Thain would like to try to fix it in the future if possible.
He collected a total of seven of the Elemental Orbs that were important to Thane's return to the Underdark.
This amount was obviously not enough for Thane to activate the grip, but he could not find any more apprentice corpses.
In order to find more apprentice corpses, but also to understand the doubts that Kaixin has been having for many days.
After his body and magic power were almost recovered, Thain slowly walked deep into the center of the sand valley.
"The earth elemental shield ring has shown some wear and tear, but fortunately the invisibility cloak seems not to have been damaged." When heading to the center of the unknown sand valley, Thain inspired this high-level magic item of his.
The terrain of this sandy valley is quite special, because it is funnel-shaped, so Thain, who is at the bottom of the valley, does not feel too hot these days, and the sun rarely shines here.
As Thain continued to advance deeper into the center of the sand valley, his altitude became lower and lower.
There was a subtle sound of sand flowing, and when Thain reached the bottom of the sand valley, he even felt a sense of coolness that he had not seen for a long time.
It may not be accurate to say cool, because Thain's body was cold at this time.
At this time, in front of Thain, the number was hard to count. At a glance, densely packed yellow worms were rolling in the yellow sand.
These all-yellow bugs are definitely not any species of bugs that Thain has seen before.
Obviously their bodies look relatively pliable and smooth, but what is chilling is that these bugs have a fang full of barbs on each end of their head and tail.
These bugs are eating.
The dry and hard yellow sand without any nutritional value is the food of these bugs!
The body length can range from less than ten centimeters to several meters in length, which shows how exaggerated the growth potential of these bugs is.
This was only what Thane saw with his naked eyes. There might be even larger giant insects deeper in the insect sea that he didn't see.
"Sandworm" is the name given to this insect by Thain. This is because it feeds on yellow sand, and the world that Thain is currently in is a yellow sand world.
But apparently these sandworms don't just feed on yellow sand.
Next to the tumbling piles of sandworms, Thane saw some scattered black magic robes.
This is the apprentice magic robe of the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City. Only the robe is left, and the flesh and blood of the other apprentices' bodies are not visible. You can see where they have gone.
However, after his body became cold, what made Thain's body temperature recover immediately was that he saw about two to thirty red elemental beads scattered next to the broken magic robes.
These elemental beads do not seem to be digested by sandworms.
The mucus in the mouths of these sandworms can melt even clothing and sand. For some reason, they are not interested in the Pearl of Elements.
Thain couldn't help but feel a little excited, and he couldn't wait to rush over and grab those elemental beads.
However, before he could take action, a giant sandworm that was more than ten meters long and was obviously the king of all surrounding sandworms squeezed out of the pile of sandworms.
What made Thain feel even more chilled was that as soon as the giant sandworm appeared, it crawled straight towards his location.
The huge mouthparts, sharp fangs, and huge size are enough for this giant sandworm to swallow him in one bite.
And this giant sandworm is not alone. As it continues to crawl towards Thain, there are countless small and micro sandworms wrapped around it, as well as two other ones with lengths of three meters and four meters respectively.
Medium sized sandworm.
"Can these sandworms see through my invisibility cloak?" Thane couldn't help but be surprised.
As the giant sandworm carried his people away from the sand pit, Thane noticed that there was something else underneath the sand pit.
It was an underground space with no end in sight, and apart from the sandworms in front of me, there seemed to be more sandworms below.
There might be an existence more powerful than this giant sandworm among them. Seeing that the danger was coming, Thain turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Being reckless is not Thain's style. Excellent magicians often win with wisdom.
Including the low-level apprenticeship stage, killing the saltwater giant crocodile beyond the level is also the result of Thain's many considerations and inner simulation exercises.
Facing these sandworms whose depth and exact number are unknown, Thane must take a long-term approach.
As Thain quickly left, the pursuit of these sandworms slowed down.
It can be seen that although these sandworms seem to be able to see through Thain's invisibility, their prey range is not very far.
So, how did they discover Thane?
Is it the smell, the temperature, or the elemental power in Thane's body?
