Even if the sandworm mother body is dead and buried in dust and ice, it still faces north.
When it just got out of the ground, it looked in that direction, but now that its body has turned into coke, it still looks there.
In the last time of its life, the mother body of the sandworm crawled northward with all its strength, and the sound of the insect was full of despair and resentment. It's a pity that it was burned up before climbing far.
As if aware of the death of the mother body, countless young Weeping Night Sandworms emerged from the soil one after another, scrambling to climb to the side of the mother body that had turned into charcoal, their small bodies trembling constantly, as if they were crying.
Lord Lingwu handed Zhan Mei, who was already unconscious in his arms, into the hands of Zhan Ghost. Zhan Ghost quickly called the medical team and handed Zhan Mei to them for treatment. The injured human masters were also helped or carried away with the medical team. After they were almost gone, the burly man knelt down on his knees and kowtowed deeply to Lord Lingwu, thanking her for saving him sister.
Also, apologize for your own incompetence.
Lord Lingwu didn't accept his thanks, nor did he respond to his apology, he just said "keep going" and turned to leave.
Lide stared at her back, waiting for the red figure to disappear from his vision before looking away. Perhaps for others, what happened just now was just an exception made by Lord Lingwu to save the dying Zhan Mei, but Lide knew very well that it was not that simple behind it.
Before Lide ran towards this side, intending to catch the falling Zhan Mei, Lord Lingwu didn't move a single step. Just like what she said to Zhan Gui before, all the battles this time are left to Zhan Gui and the others to solve by themselves. So even if Zhan Mei was about to die because of this later, she still remained unmoved. At that time, her expression was indifferent, and she didn't even glance at Vice General Yuewei who fell from the sky from the beginning to the end.
So what made Lord Lingwu finally choose to make a move
Perhaps she felt a crisis, so she made the most suitable choice at the moment. Last year in Yuxi City, Yan Luo, the tenth palace of Lingwu Yinwei, would rather kill Hilo than let Xiluo join Yuxi City. This is the judgment of Yinwei and the judgment of the Lingwu lord. To this day, in fact, the Lingwu lord still doesn't fully understand why Xi Luo, who is so emotional, betrayed Yinwei in the first place, even at the expense of being an enemy of Yinwei.
But at that moment, the Lord of Lingwu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. If this situation continues to develop, will Zhan Mei, who was rescued by Lide, follow him and leave Lingwu
And if Zhan Mei joins Yuxi City, will Lide's power start to expand further? What kind of bad impact will the betrayal of Deputy General Yuewei bring? At that time, will I hunt her down like I chased Hilo? But what would War Ghost, who was the General of the Moon Guard at the time, think
This is a bottomless pit. War Charm can die in a war, but cannot withdraw from the war in this way.
So before that, Lord Lingwu chose to rescue him first.
The reason why Lide stared at Lord Lingwu's back was because he had deduced the cause and effect of this incident, but even if he could see it, he would not say anything. Lord Lingwu saved Zhan Mei, which means that Lide's strength has not been exposed, which is actually a good ending for everyone.
Moreover, Lide felt that Zhan Ghost and Zhan Mei should understand the truth of it to some extent... If they really understand Lord Lingwu. This woman is not cold on the outside but hot on the inside, she is cold in her bones, that's why she can surpass the emotionless hidden guards and command these killing machines; Defend against the invasion of the giant tribe, one of the six tribes.
She doesn't use external force to destroy emotions like Yinwei, but she also treats emotions as useless dross.
Alaya and Hilo hurried over here, and Lid stopped thinking about this matter.
Alaya stood next to Lid, carefully checking if Lid was injured, and asked:
"Master, are you all right?"
Lid coughed twice on purpose, and put on a frail and weak appearance. After Alaya's small hands touched his body all over, he replied with a smile:
"I should ask you this. Are you all right?"
Alaya breathed a sigh of relief, and replied:
"It's okay...just not helpful."
Lid stretched out his hand and rubbed the heads of Alaya and Shiloh, squatted down halfway, thought for a while, and asked again:
"So, to change the question, do you feel that you have grown this time?"
Alaya and Shiloh lowered their heads and gave a soft "hmm".
Lied stood up, let out a mouthful of hot air, and said with a smile:
"That's enough."
For Alaya, although a life-and-death experience could not allow her to directly pass from the seventh level to the eighth level, this experience was of great help to her early improvement of her own level of cultivation. The reason for coming here for experience.
Lide squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to explain some reasons to them, because he might act separately from them in the near future, so it is better to make things clear first:
"Alaya, Hilo, remember. For the battle just now, you are indeed dispensable. For this northward journey, our power in Yuxi City is really irrelevant. So don't have too high demands on yourself. You survived the battle just now, and you can still retreat unscathed after fighting against the behemoth of the tenth level. It is a commendable thing in itself. Remember that you are in danger What you learn, just keep growing.”
Both Alayah and Shiloh nodded.
Because of the subsidence of the ground, Lingwu's army decided to take a detour, and a large number of night-crying sandworms had already gathered around the mother body. It might be difficult to dig the night-crying sandworms to guide the direction during the march. Fortunately, this place is very close to the edge of the Weeping Night Plain, and the Lingwu army can explore the rest of the road independently.
Before leaving, Lid found Hilo standing silently in front of the scorched sandworm mother body.
Around the mother's body, countless small sandworms stood upright and bowed their heads, as if mourning.
A rare look of sadness appeared in Hilo's dull eyes.
Speaking of it, it seems that she rarely hears her mentioning her parents. Feeling sad
Lide walked to her side, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and comforted:
"This is the end of the overlord. The sandworms that roamed the northern border thousands of years ago will inevitably end up weak and old. Judging from the situation just now, this may be the last sandworm mother body in the world. The original environment is inherently harsh and not suitable for living things. From then on, even creatures like the Weeping Night Sandworm will gradually become extinct, and finally the entire tundra will be completely reduced to death. All things have animism, and these little guys also feel it It's the end of my life that makes me so sad."
Shiloh didn't speak, but bit his lip lightly.
Lied patted her on the back and said:
"This is the disadvantage of large creatures. Even though it doesn't seem to target us from the beginning, its size is too large, and it can easily cause great harm to the surroundings. Lingwu's strategy is not wrong, If it is allowed to continue, most of the army will be wiped out here. Killing or being killed is a choice that must be made, and their end has been doomed since the moment Kungu created the giant race."
Shiloh let out a weak sigh.
Lide knew that she was still a little sad, so he stood there with her, looking at the sandworm's body, until the wind blew out the last flame and all the smoke and dust drifted away, Hilo opened his mouth and said softly:
"What if..."
She paused, with a bit of regret in her tone:
"If the fire wasn't so big, how delicious it would be."
