Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

"Of course not!" Customer service lady Xing Xing widened her eyes, feeling that she could hardly keep up with Xia Liuying's occasionally erratic train of thought.

"When the giant sandworms travel underground, they leave a passage. Although this passage will heal naturally after a few hours due to gravity and the pressure of the sand, it is still fine if it is only used temporarily for passage."

"Take two steps to the right and there will be an entrance to the passage below."

Before Xia Liuying could say anything, she saw a very familiar desert lizard crawling out from under the sand in front of her and running in circles around a spot.

Xia Liuying knew that this was to point out her location.

So he didn't have time to be pretentious. His hands turned into the beastly claws of the Wolf King Husky. He dug a sand pit in a few strokes and saw the entrance.

"..."Xia Liuying was silent for two seconds.

The entrance to the passage is only about ten centimeters in diameter - most of the sand-ringed giant worms are only about ten centimeters in diameter, so the passages they drill out of are naturally only this wide.

However, there was no need for the customer service lady Xing Xing to remind her. Xia Liuying instantly used her supernatural power to transform into a beast, and turned into the black cat Xiaoqi. She shook her fur in the sand with an uncomfortable look, then lowered her head and went in through the entrance of the passage.

The passage looked small, but unexpectedly, after the beast transformed into the image of the black cat Xiaoqi, it was quite spacious and the speed was not slow.

The desert lizard acted like a guide, leading Xia Liuying back and forth in the winding passage, changing the route several times during the process.

The size and width of the channels are different. In fact, the deeper you go, the wider they are. Some are more than 20 centimeters in diameter, which is so spacious that Xia Liuying is a little uncomfortable.

Because these were newly drilled passages, they were still relatively stable and firm, with no signs of collapse, so Xia Liuying didn't have to worry about being buried alive underground.

It was not until they reached a certain depth underground that Xia Liuying clearly felt the atmosphere change. The desert lizard leading the way in front was no longer willing to move forward. Even with a chip controlling it, it could not move forward even a single step.

The person behind the scenes had no choice but to give up and ask customer service lady Xing Xing to help convey, "The queen insect is probably nearby. The desert lizard has sensed its presence and can't get any closer."

Xia Liuying indicated that she understood and moved to the side, leaving a gap for the desert lizard to return along the same route.

She switched to her animal form, transforming into the appearance of a red-tailed boa constrictor, and used the snake's perception and sense of smell to search for the presence of the queen insect.

The body of the red-tailed boa constrictor Mian Mian is not a long, slender strip, nor does it have the slender shape of a snake. The middle of its body is relatively fatter, and it is easy to get stuck when moving in the passage. It is not as small and flexible as the black cat Xiaoqi.

That is to say, when they got to the bottom, the passage was much wider, and Xia Liuying was able to transform into a beast smoothly.

Without the guidance of the desert lizard, Xia Liuying used her sense of smell to perceive the surrounding environment. The different smells quickly formed a three-dimensional map in Xia Liuying's mind. The passages densely packed with sand-linked giant worms were complex and twisted like an irregular maze.

If Xia Liuying couldn't sense the direction of gravity, she probably wouldn't even be able to tell up from down.

But Xia Liuying was not impatient. She still tried hard to distinguish every breath. Finally, she detected a slightly unusual smell and an inexplicable sense of familiarity. So she decisively followed the direction of the smell.

Soon, a huge underground cavity appeared in front of Xia Liuying.

It was like a hemispherical cover that suddenly covered the ground, forming such a space.

The highest point is nearly four meters high, and the edge is more than one meter high.

It really doesn't look like it was formed naturally. It was most likely "built" by these giant sand-linked worms. But it's not certain whether Li Luoxia contributed to this.

Is it the nest-building instinct of the sand-linked giant worm, or is it artificially directed by Li Luoxia?

Xia Liuying followed one of the passages and secretly stuck her head in to take a look.

At first glance she saw nothing and thought there was no light underground so she couldn't see anything.

But then I thought, she has night vision, how could she not see anything?

So when she looked again, Xia Liuying discovered that in the middle of such a large underground cavity, there was an extremely huge sand-ringed giant worm coiled inside.

Because her body directly blocked Xia Liuying's entire vision, Xia Liuying mistakenly believed that she saw nothing.

This female insect is about ten meters long, and its appearance is no different from other ordinary giant insects. If enlarged, its body diameter alone is more than one meter.

Xia Liuying's arrival did not alarm it, probably because when Xia Liuying was crawling in the underground passage, her body was covered with the scent of the sand-ringed giant worm, which served as a cover for her.

Through Xia Liuying's eyes, several groups of people behind also saw the appearance of the giant queen of the sand ring worm and started a discussion.

These have nothing to do with Xia Liuying. She has already accepted the task of dealing with the queen insect, so the specific actions should be decided by her.

So Xia Liuying changed the positions of several channels and observed the status of the giant queen of the sand ring worm from different directions.

When she went around to the back, Xia Liuying just stuck her head out and was shocked.

This should be the lower body of the queen insect. There is something like an excretion outlet with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, which is continuously discharging finger-sized larvae of sand-ringed giant worms.

By means of "jetting".

As soon as Xia Liuying stretched out her head, a bunch of sand-ringed giant worm larvae flew towards her. She wasn't paying attention and one of the larvae bit her snake scales.

Without waiting for Xia Liuying to make a move, the larvae, with its very sharp teeth, directly bit through a piece of Xia Liuying's snake scale and bit into Xia Liuying's flesh.

However, when it was still trying hard, it was stabbed to death by Xia Liuying's tail. Xia Liuying only had some skin broken at most, but was not seriously hurt.

Before she had time to think too much, Xia Liuying discovered that the wound that was originally very painful from the bite suddenly stopped hurting.

There was also a very familiar smell coming from the wound.

It was this smell that helped Xia Liuying find the mother insect.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Xia Liuying's mind, and she remembered the familiarity of this smell - this was the scent of a broken Tamauli flower!

This group of giant sand-ringed worms is indeed related to the Tamalopsis orchid!

Xia Liuying suddenly understood what Xiaodai meant by what he said at that time - the bite hurts a lot, referring to the pain of a bite from the sand-ringed giant worm, while the bite doesn't hurt means that after the sand-ringed giant worm bites its prey, it releases a substance similar to the scent of the tamarin flower, which can relieve pain and numb the wound.

Xia Liuying was still thinking, when she looked up she found two larvae of giant sand-ringed worms crawling in through the entrance of the passage.

They burrowed and ate the sand at the same time, and their bodies grew noticeably as they ate.

But after a while, it grew from the size of one finger to the size of two fingers.

What a fast growth rate...Xia Liuying suddenly understood where so many sand-linked giant worms in the oasis came from.
