Chapter 176: Chapter 157: The Level 19 Sandworm Lair

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

[Ding~ You have triggered a landslide and caused a natural disaster. The rift valley that stretched for hundreds of miles collapsed due to a chain reaction and destroyed countless enemies. You will be the main factor and receive experience and points.]

[Ding~ You have been upgraded to level 9.]

[Ding~ Your current points are 1.26 million.]

[Level: 9 (120,000/1,000,000)]

In the earth’s depths.

Richard stood in a circular tunnel with a diameter of 30 meters.

Sandworms left this path behind.

A sense of oppression filled the rumbling tremors that kept coming from above.

It seemed like it could collapse at any time.

He glanced at his attribute panel, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

‘F*ck! This round was ultimately worth it.’

He would receive a portion of the points for enemies who died because of the valley collapse.

That directly increased his points to an intensely exaggerated level.

Moreover, the terrifying experience allowed him to rise from level 8 to 9.

The experience required for Level 10 was a total of 1,000,000.

He was afraid he would not be able to level up in the short term. Such a killing move was something that could only be encountered and not sought.

With this precedent, the other party would not act senseless if they wanted to do so again in the future.

A portion of the players seated in the flying units was speechless when they saw the scene of the valley collapsing into rubble.

At this moment, fear replaced the excitement they felt about hunting Qingqiu.

They had almost gotten their revenge in advance.

“Qingqiu is such a pervert! He is so ruthless!!!”

Richard killed at least 100,000 pursuers in one go. No, under the chain reaction, the earth even swallowed hundreds of thousands of people!

Who knew how many troops had died in this wave if those brought by the players count?

Although the opponent’s points had jumped from 500,000 to 1.2 million, they still felt this was a small amount.

Even doubling it doesn’t matter.

It was because Richard did not count the troops that had died on the outskirts of the battlefield.

After the [Forum Chat] displayed Richard’s actions of killing hundreds of thousands of troops.

All the players were silent.

“I don’t know what to say anymore…”

“Is this Qingqiu??”

“This pervert!! Pervert!! Why is he so strong to this extent? Are NPCs all idiots? How could Qingqiu lure them to the bottom of the valley without any precautions?”

“Fortunately, that guy is finally dead…”

“The total points of the top 10 players on the ranking board can’t even compare to Qingqiu alone…”

The players’ discussion about Qingqiu continued.

After Wind Song looked at the ranking board and hunted players from the Covenant of Evil faction outside the dimensional space, he was not surprised.

He even felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he had met Qingqiu before and gave up on the idea of hunting him down.

As expected, Richard wiped out those idiots in one go.

‘Hahaha, Qingqiu, that pervert, is he someone you guys can surround and kill?

‘I don’t have any money at all…’

He felt he could do it again compared to those unlucky fellows.

‘Although I’m ranked second, except for Qingqiu, I’m stronger than all of you!’

Initially, the players thought that Richard was buried and killed just like that.

However, they suddenly felt another aura permeating the air after some time.

Everyone felt a sense of powerlessness while they looked at the already rubble-filled rift valley.

“Damn it! This guy wasn’t dead yet!!”

“Is the other party still a human???”

“What right did he have? Thousands of troops have died, so why was he still alive?”

However, the valley had already been filled up. It was impossible to go down.

Although the remaining NPCs were in despair, the fact that the Third Princess was still alive gave them another shot in the arm.

When this news reached the silent dimensional space, the top NPCs immediately gave the order.

They had to save the princess at all costs.

Their losses were already disastrous. Only by saving the princess could they complete their salvation…

Not long after, the large-scale Teleportation Formation outside the undestroyed rift flashed again.

The special troop that Richard had seen in front of the spatial rift appeared from within — the sandworms.

It was almost impossible for people or even magic to clear the land thousands of meters deep in a short time, but these special troops could do so.

Then, after suffering a heavy blow, the pursuers began to move again.

‘Kacha! Kacha!’

Along with the sounds of movement.

The sandworms used their sharp claws to dig out large holes and began to dig deep into the ground…

Richard quickly sensed the movements of the other party through the sand.

These pursuers were truly omnipresent.

As expected, it was impossible to complete an S-rank mission until the very last moment.

After the other party closed in, the yellow sand on his body flickered.

‘Rumble!’

The tunnel dug by dozens of sandworms suddenly collapsed, and the earth directly buried them.

However, a scene that surprised him appeared.

The thick bone armor of the sandworms was sublimely effective against the rubble collapse. Without sufficient weight and a corresponding height of impact, it was utterly unable to destroy the enemy’s thick armor.

Meanwhile, the sandworms were in the enemy’s abdomen. They were firmly protected and were also safe and sound.

The level 14 sandworms had notably strong vitality.

Was this too tough?

Richard felt his teeth itch.

At this moment.

‘Kacha!’

Suddenly, a special sound came from the depths of the tunnel.

Richard turned his head.

He looked at the circular tunnel.

‘Kacha!’

The sound approached quickly. The enemy was coming…

He sensed great danger.

Every cell in his body was warning him.

A word suddenly appeared in his mind.

Sandworm!

It was the only giant monster in the dimension over level 15.

This 30-meter tunnel diameter was created by the enemy.

‘Kacha!’

The sound got closer and closer.

Richard took a deep breath and let the sandworm cocoon that wrapped the Third Princess float up. He looked at the ground.

He waved his hand.

The sand below began to separate to both sides. In a few breaths’ time, a hole appeared.

‘Kacha! Kacha!’

The noise coming from the depths of the giant tunnel grew louder and louder. Even the ground began to tremble.

Richard used the Concealment Power to cover his entire body. His gaze fixed on the direction where the sound came.

Although the underground was dark, as long as there was sand, it was the area where his perception extended.

After more than ten breaths in the dark cave, the earth’s shaking became increasingly obvious.

After it reached a certain limit.

An intensely terrifying existence appeared in his perception.

The first thing he perceived was an enormously startling bloody mouth.

The diameter was almost the same as the tunnel, reaching an astonishing 30 meters.

Countless sharp teeth were spiral-shaped, layer by layer.

Each of the sharp teeth was almost as tall as a person.

The sharp teeth also had the teeth of a saw.

Solid rocks would also turn into gravel under the sharp teeth.

The muscles on the side seemed to make the huge mouth wider like a flower spot.

Once attacked, it would probably be able to swallow a few giant dragons with a wingspan of 30 meters.

The body behind him had not reached its end after he had sensed for more than 50 meters…

[Sandworm]

[Boss Unit]

[Level: 19]

[???]

[???]

Level 19?

It turned out that the level above 15 that Ferguson had mentioned was not level 15, but really above level 15…

This bastard! He would ultimately have to pay for his spiritual damage later!

After Richard caught a glimpse of it, before the sandworms swarmed over, he entered the tunnel below.

The gravel wrapped around him as he fell.

In this land of sand and gravel, he moved more freely than the sandworms.

At this time, the sandworms did not notice Richard at all.

After using the Concealment Power, his breath had already disappeared.

What attracted his attention was the movement above.

At this time, countless sandworms still dug the gravel.

This movement stimulated the sandworms.

The enemy was provoking it!

The sandworms dug with great enthusiasm when they suddenly felt the earth shake.

‘Rumble!’

Before a few sandworms could react to what had happened, they felt the gravel around them suddenly sinking.

Just when they thought the place they dug had collapsed, they suddenly bumped into a sublimely sharp tooth.

A sense of horror rose in their hearts.

“F*ck! They had gotten themselves into big trouble!!”

But it was too late for them to react at this moment.

‘Kacha!’

The huge mouth closed abruptly, and countless sharp teeth began to grind.

Behind the prodigious mouth, two huge passages that looked like ears spurted out countless pieces of gravel with blood.

After the sandworm swallowed huge stones and gravel into its mouth, it could discharge its mouth through the two holes.

These creatures born to move on the earth were born for this purpose.

Not long after, some players who were reluctant to leave the rift saw a scene that surprised them.

The troop that dug just now suddenly climbed up like crazy.

Before they could recover from their shock.

They saw a giant monster that could be called an abyss monster and suddenly jump out of the ground.

Its huge mouth opened like a flower petal, and its diameter was more than 50 meters.

Those densely packed teeth enough to drive the agoraphobia crazy sent chills down their spines.

Just as it climbed out of the ground, it swallowed dozens of sandworms.

It was like a fish jumping out of the water and then falling again.

‘Bang!’

Its huge body crashed heavily into the ground.

The ground directly shattered and spurted countless pieces of sand and gravel.

Rocks smashed to death a few players close to it…

‘Rumble!’

After the opponent leaped out of the ground for a short while, it once again burrowed into the ground.

The long gray body continued to wriggle on the ground, and only after a long time did it disappear.

When the players returned to their senses, they only saw two huge pits with a diameter of more than 30 meters…

The shock in their hearts could not be any greater.

“F*ck… What are those things? ?”

“Level 19 Boss…People like us are just giving them away for free.”

“Aren’t there no level 14 or higher existences in this dimensional space? Are those NPCs trying to scare me?”

Players continued to converse…

And that was not all. The second one, the third… When dozens of sandworms of various sizes jumped out and devoured life.

The players completely collapsed.

They no longer had any thoughts of chasing after Richard. They turned around and left.

“F*ck! Whoever was willing to die would go! Anyway, I’m not doing it anymore!!!”

Meanwhile, the NPC troop that had just gathered their morale looked at the sandworms that squirmed on the ground and were speechless for a long time.

The despair in their hearts was even more intense than the players’.

Could it be that the gods had already stopped blessing them?

Why were there monsters of such a level in this plane?! Why!!!

Richard seemed to have thought of something and began to head deeper into the earth frantically after the sandworms left.

He was very curious. Where did those sandworms live? Would there be any different discoveries in the depths of the earth?

He did not know how much time had passed, but suddenly.

His perception suddenly widened.

‘Underground space?’

Richard’s eyes lit up. He controlled the gravel and gradually broke below after it sensed no danger.

His perception has fully activated.

This was an incomparably huge underground space, probably more than a hundred meters in height.

What caught his attention was that at the outermost periphery, there were dozens of huge tunnels connecting the depths of the earth and the surface.

A stinky smell rushed into his nostrils… The sandworm smell.

He lowered his head and extended his perception downwards.

He instantly discovered more than ten sandworm larvae sleeping in the underground sand. Each of them was more than ten meters in size.

When Richard sensed this scene, his eyes immediately lit up.

The sandworms’ lair???

The terrifying sandworms had been lured away.

It seemed that there was no defense here…

Richard’s heart thumped faster.

Could there be any treasure in the monster’s lair of this level?
