Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Under the close monitoring of a team of defense soldiers, the technical workers of the Ministry of Construction operated several alchemy beasts for lifting heavy objects and slowly dragged the super-giant mysterious creature out of the pit at the landslide site.

After seeing the true appearance of this guy, Harvey felt that it could no longer be described as a legless reptile such as a worm python. It was nearly 30 meters long, fat at the front, and the body became thinner as it went further back.

The body was two or three meters in diameter, and the ice field python, which was only as thick as an adult's waist, could not compare with it at all.

"Good guy! Isn't this the legendary extinct macrophagous worm?"

Egno, who hurriedly came from the hospital, recognized the origin of this thing at a glance, and stood beside the unknown worm body and couldn't help exclaiming.

"Macrophagous worm? This thing is really a worm? It... What does it eat to grow so big?" Haru, the director of the Ministry of Construction, finally cleared the suspicion of cutting corners and breathed a sigh of relief.

Egno asked his assistant to take out the tape measure he carried with him, and measured the size of the fat insect. He explained casually: "I also accidentally saw the record in... uh, the ancient biological books of the high elves."

"This super-giant insect feeds on minerals, digs and drills deep underground all year round, and almost never shows up on the ground."

Harvey interrupted Egno and asked directly: "Feed on minerals? Is it this black unknown stone?"

Egno shook his head and said uncertainly: "It is impossible to determine what kind of minerals they feed on, but it is likely that they are attracted to the surface by food and then dig down the foundation of the city wall..."

He paused and continued: "However, this kind of insect likes heat and fears cold. In winter, it will drill into the lava area deep in the stratum and hibernate, and will only become active when the weather warms up."

After hearing this, Harvey felt uneasy in his heart, whether it was the huge black stone tower that he had witnessed before, which was suspected to be directly drilled down by this insect, or the concrete wall that was more than five meters high and nearly two meters wide that was dug down by it today.

This means that if this guy's target of feeding is really the black stone used to build the castle, then he is equivalent to sleeping in a dangerous building that may collapse at any time.

Must move out of the castle immediately!

He turned around and told Egno: "Can we determine what minerals they feed on by studying this insect corpse? If it is really this kind of black stone, my castle will be a huge delicious cake in their eyes."

Egno's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "I can dissect it on the spot to see if there are undigested mineral substances in the abdomen of this insect. It can be easily distinguished..."

The insect corpse is too large. It is unrealistic to use dozens of alchemical camels to transport it back to the hospital or the castle laboratory. The best way is to dissect it on the spot.

Under Egno's arrangement, the doctors and assistants in the hospital who were trained by him and were extremely skilled in their business quickly set up a huge tent. The defense forces evacuated the onlookers and the workers responsible for handling the landslide accident, and quickly cleaned up and isolated the scene.

Harvey walked to the head of the worm curiously, looked up at this prehistoric giant, and found that even its eyes had degenerated completely, leaving only a closed oval mouthpart. Through the gap, he could see that it was densely packed with not-so-sharp pestle-shaped teeth.

It is probably because the food source of this worm is a single ore, and it does not need sharp teeth to prey on other creatures.

There is also a circle of scales similar to the skin color on the worm's head, and each scale is the size of a small round shield. Harvey thinks this is specially evolved to protect the head when drilling and digging underground.

"Egno, why did this worm become extinct? Is it because the minerals they rely on for survival are extremely scarce?"

Egno took out a silver sharp knife as long as his forearm, gestured on the huge body of the worm, and said casually: "Of course it is not because of the problem of food shortage. According to the literature, the growth cycle of macrophage worms is extremely long, and the distribution area is very wide. In addition, they often fall into suspended animation for several years due to low temperatures, resulting in low reproduction efficiency, and slowly becoming endangered..."

Harvey immediately understood the key to the problem described by Egno. The long growth cycle means that it cannot mature quickly and enter the reproduction period. In addition, the distribution area is too wide, and the probability of two male and female worms of different genders meeting is too low. In addition, there is a long-term dormant state similar to hibernation, and they often lie down for several years...

This is completely on the road of evolution, accurately clicking every skill point, resulting in the natural extinction of the species.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I estimate that there should be only one giant worm alive within a hundred miles of our territory." Egno said as he thrust the silver knife into the wrinkled and rough skin of the worm.

The worm, which was originally lying motionless, suddenly trembled slightly all over its body, and then the worm head, which was firmly tied by the lasso, suddenly raised up, and the fat body rippled.

"Oh my God! It's not dead! It was just knocked unconscious by a stone!" Reiner exclaimed loudly, and he and Asdalen immediately lifted Harvey up and quickly evacuated the temporary tent.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Egno waved his hands and shouted, "This thing is not aggressive. It probably woke up from a coma after being stabbed..."

He turned to Harvey and asked, "Sir, this worm is still alive. Do I need to kill it and dissect it to take out its stomach contents to observe the source of food?"

Harvey looked at this gentle but trembling behemoth, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He asked, "Is there any way to take out the undigested minerals in its stomach without killing it? Is there any medicine that can induce vomiting in worms?"

Egno scratched his head, turned his head and whispered a few words to the assistant beside him, and the assistant hurried back to the hospital.

"Yes, there is a non-toxic medicine that can achieve the effect of vomiting, but... to make this big guy vomit violently, I'm afraid it will take the medicine of dozens of people..."

Not long after, the assistant came back with a cart, and indeed brought a full bucket of medicine. Egno used a thick hose made of rubber fruit to directly insert it into the worm's round and huge mouthparts and began to force it to drink the medicine.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

The fat worm seemed to be affected by the drug very quickly, and began to struggle and wriggle. The huge mouth that could swallow a wild bull kept opening and closing, making a strange sound of crackling.

Everyone quickly moved away from its head as if they were running for their lives. After another violent wriggling and struggling, the worm expanded its mouthparts to the limit with a hum, and then spewed out a large amount of stomach contents wrapped in thick mucus.

Harvey felt a little nauseous, and turned his head away with a little discomfort.

Suddenly, he heard that Asdalen and Reiner gasped at the same time, and Asdalen suddenly tightened his arm.

"What's going on?" He subconsciously turned his head to look at Asdalen, and then followed the direction of the other party's finger and looked back at the huge vomit like a small hill.

In addition to various crystal ore fragments, there was a shiny thing that was extremely conspicuous.

It was a coffin-sized, pale yellow amber-like, crystal-clear giant crystal ore!

Through the reflection of sunlight, a vague human figure could be seen in this huge amber.

Something was sealed in this amber ore, and was mistakenly swallowed by the macrophagous worm as food...

Harvey opened his mouth and felt his throat was a little dry, "Asdalen, I think I roughly know how you were sealed in the amber crystal..."
