Barry’s twin wings had grown more than double their original size due to the increase in his dual attributes. Although they were still somewhat small compared to his body size, they were now capable of aiding him in flight.
As Barry flew, his wings fluttered rapidly, a black and white glow pulsating upon them. A pitch-black halo emerged from Barry’s body mid-flight, gradually forming a long, maximally black tendril from within the halo.
By the time the tendril formed, Barry had reached the Desert Worm. As soon as the tendril touched the outer casing of the Desert Worm, it penetrated straight in, disappearing from sight.
Utilizing the reactionary force of this collision, Barry bounced down toward Vincent Wolf.
Seeing this, Vincent Wolf instructed the Giant Bat to catch Barry mid-air.
“The original ‘Death Corrosion’ was already quite powerful; I wonder how much the newly evolved ‘Death Touch’ has changed,” Vincent Wolf murmured, looking up at the Desert Worm.
The Desert Worm was initially frantic when it was lifted into the air by the Great Heaven Dog, but once it saw that Vincent Wolf and his team’s attacks were having little effect, it became much less panicked.
Not only was it not panicked, but it also appeared quite indifferent, remaining motionless as though resigned to its fate, allowing the Giant Bat and others to assail it.
However, this indifferent demeanor drastically changed when Barry’s ‘Death Touch’ penetrated its body.
The Desert Worm suddenly started acting bizarrely. First, its body started to twist, and as time passed, the twisting intensified. It eventually escalated into violent struggles, jumps, and distortions. Anyone could see how strong the pain it was enduring was.
Even Vincent Wolf and Barry, the chief culprits, were a bit shocked and surprised.
“Could it be? Is the power of ‘Death Touch’ this potent? It’s just a high-level skill, and its proficiency is only entry-level – why does it seem exaggeratedly strong?
Vincent Wolf checked Barry’s panel. [Name]:Barry (Life-Death Slime King) (Evolution Incomplete)
[Attributes]:Water, Life (80%) Death (60%) [Species Level]:High-Level Commanders [Growth Level]:High-level Extraordinary [Racial Talent]:
Super Grade: Mimicry (Entry-level)
High Grade: Intimidation (Proficient), Devour (Skilled), Amplification (Skilled)
Intermediate Skills: Enhancement Aura (Skilled)
[Skills] :
High Level: Rapid Healing (Skilled), Death Touch (Entry-level)
Low Level: Fast Movement (Perfect), Spitting Water (Proficient), Charge (Proficient), Water Cannon (Proficient), Water Vortex (Proficient), Water Flow Armor (Proficient)
[Introduction]: A slime that is extraordinarily potential summoned through a Dimensional Summoning Contract, broke the shackle of bloodline, evolved into a new evolutionary form – Life-Death Slime King, and continued to evolve towards an unknown direction.
“Barry’s dual attributes now both reach 60%, and Species Level upgraded to High – Level Commanders.”
“The previous intermediate skills ‘Healing’ and ‘Death Corrosion’ have evolved into high-level skills ‘Rapid Healing’ and ‘Death Touch’, but their proficiency levels have decreased by one rank.”
“Reasonably, when upgrading a skill’s level while reducing its proficiency level, Barry’s two skills should not have experienced any qualitative changes. So why does it feel like there were significant changes?”
Vincent Wolf read the description of the ‘Death Touch’ skill carefully.
[Skill]: Death Touch
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Description]: A death clan skill that allows the user to manipulate death energy and conjure tendrils infused with the power of death. The tendrils have a degree of discarding the target’s defense. After Death Touch hits the target, it can penetrate into the opponent’s body, causing its internal body to be corroded and gradually lose its vitality.
“So, that’s it. The ‘Death Touch’ is capable of disregarding the defenses of the Desert Worm and even penetrated inside its body, which I recall is extremely fragile internally. No wonder its effect is so powerful.”
After about ten more minutes, the Desert Worm gradually stilled, and the Great Heaven Dog stopped producing wind with its fan, letting the Desert Worm slowly land.
Vincent Wolf let the Giant Bat descend, went over to the Desert Worm, observed it carefully, unable to discern whether it was really dead or merely playing dead.
“Nether Tiger, quick, get it!”
The Nether Tiger roared, scampered over to reap the fruits of victory.Like how it had previously subdued the Miasma Python, the Nether Tiger used its unique ability to tear out the spirit of the Desert Worm, gnawed on it, and then absorbed it into its body.
“Big Black Tiger, let’s return this thing back. We still need to use it to find resources!”
Upon hearing this, the Nether Tiger immediately released the Desert Worm’s spirit, bringing its body back “to life”.
Miyazaki Sahui and the Great Heaven Dog approached and saw the Desert Worm still moving freely but not attacking Vincent Wolf. So, they asked, “Is this Desert Worm… dead or alive now?
“It’s dead, but not completely. But don’t worry, there’s no danger.”
Miyazaki Sahui glanced at the surrounding demon beasts around Vincent Wolf, somewhat puzzled by the situation.
“Uh, these demon beasts are…?”
Wolf counted the demon beasts around him.
A giant bat, a big black tiger, a big python, and a big bug.
Four great heavenly kings, to be precise!
“Don’t worry, these guys are my pets, and they’re very obedient. What are you guys doing? Say hi!”
Night Bat: Squeak squeak.
Nether Tiger: Roar roar.
Miasma Python: Hiss hiss.
Desert Worm:??? (I don’t have this feature!)
“This big bug is so rude. Nevermind, let’s move on. Let’s go check out its lair.” Vincent said to Miyazaki Sahui.
“Huh? Whose lair?” Miyazaki Sahui wondered.
“Who else could it be? Of course, we’re going to its lair, the Desert Worm’s, to find resources!”
“We’re going to its lair? Did I hear that right? Aren’t you afraid these demon beasts will eat us?” Miyazaki Sahui looked at the four great heavenly kings next to Vincent with some hesitation.
“Don’t worry about that. They won’t do such a thing, am I right guys?”
Vincent patted the Nether Tiger next to him which startled it into promptly nodding.
“Even if they won’t attack us, how are we going to get into the desert? We can’t just dig a hole in the ground.” “That’s easy. We’ll let this big bug escort us.”
Miyazaki Sahui was stunned. “Let, let, let…”
“Stop, don’t say anymore.”
Wolf interrunted Mivazaki Sahui’s words. and then asked the Desert Worm.
“Can you take us in?”
The Desert Worm wanted to tell them that it couldn’t speak, but it couldn’t express itself, so it just silently nodded.
After it nodded, its yellow-brown hard shell slowly turned into sand grains, attaching to the surface of the Desert Worm’s body, slowly wriggling around, and blending into the sand dunes below.
“So that’s how it works.” Vincent Wolf suddenly realized.
It seemed the Desert Worm’s ability to freely move through the desert was all thanks to its ability to turn its outer shell into sand.
Once turned into sand, it could blend and flow with the sand in the desert, naturally allowing it to move quickly through the desert.
The sandy shell of the Desert Worm extended to Vincent Wolf, Miyazaki Sahui, the Great Heaven Dog, and the other three heavenly kings.
They didn’t resist but silently observed to see if anything abnormal would happen.
However, the Nether Tiger’s special ability had no loopholes, and the Tiger didn’t dare to attack Wolf, so no dangerous situations arose.
The flowing sand, transformed from the shell of the Desert Worm, encased all the people and pet beasts together, reforming into an outer shell, the exterior of which was still made of sand.
In this way, the Desert Worm, carrying the group of people, slowly sank into the desert..
