Chapter 290: The Miserable Earthworm

"So it's an earthworm." Seeing the guardian beast pulled out from underground, Zhuge Tianxin said, somewhat disbelievingly.

Moo, moo, moo... Just as Zhuge Tianxin finished speaking, the guardian beast pulled out of the ground immediately roared loudly in anger. The roar carried anger, but also pain.

This guardian beast was indeed an earthworm, named the Earth Earthworm. Yes, a very ordinary name. It was also a very ordinary magical beast, belonging to one of the lowest classes of magical beasts. It basically existed as food for other low-level magical beasts, so its strength was basically only at the first or second level. Because this kind of magical beast not only had a low level but also lacked any intelligence, its cultivation speed was also very slow. Even if it cultivated to the second level, it would be swallowed as food by other higher-level magical beasts, so its strength could only remain at the first or second level. But now, this Earth Earthworm had actually reached the level of a Rank 9 magical beast, equivalent to a human Rank 3 Mind User. It could be said that this was completely impossible, but unfortunately, it had encountered Zhuge Tianxin and the others.

Moo, moo, moo... The Earth Earthworm was still roaring, its cries filled with pain. Because after it was pulled out of the ground, the mucus that had previously covered its body began to dry immediately upon contact with the air, and some parts had even formed scabs and started to fall off the guardian beast's body. This was also the reason why it had not wanted to come out from underground before.

This mucus was used by the Earth Earthworm to keep its body moist. All of the Earth Earthworm's life activities required a soft body, and its body was extremely prone to drying out and hardening, especially when directly exposed to air and sunlight. This mucus was used to ensure its body remained moist so that it could keep its body from drying out.

Now, directly exposed to the air and sunlight, this mucus hardened rapidly. Following this, the hardened mucus began to fall off continuously, causing the Earth Earthworm's skin to be exposed to the air and sunlight. Subsequently, this exposed skin rapidly dried, hardened, and cracked.

Moo, moo, moo... The Earth Earthworm screamed in pain, its body's two ends frantically stabbing toward the ground, wanting to return beneath the surface.

"I spent so much effort to get you out of the ground, and now you still want to go back? Dream on." Seeing the Earth Earthworm's two tentacles constantly stabbing toward the ground, Zhuge Tianxin knew the Earth Earthworm wanted to return underground and said.

After speaking, he activated his mind power. The stone giant that had grabbed one of the Earth Earthworm's tentacles immediately exerted force, directly swinging the entire Earth Earthworm up and lifting it into mid-air.

"Now is the time." Zhuge Tianxin thought to himself. He activated Earth-style magic, and the ground rapidly became as hard as steel.

Boom! With a loud noise, the Earth Earthworm was slammed heavily onto the ground by the stone giant's shoulder throw. Even the ground, which Zhuge Tianxin had made as hard as steel using Earth-style magic, was smashed into a deep mark.

Moo! Smashed onto the ground, the Earth Earthworm screamed in pain. Following its scream, a large amount of blood sprayed from the mouthparts at the tip of its tentacles, constantly dripping onto the ground, almost filling the pit that had been smashed out.

However, the Earth Earthworm had no mind to care about this. Just after falling to the ground, it immediately plunged its head toward the ground, still wanting to return underground. The blood it spat out also happened to make its body a bit moist, strengthening its mobility. Coupled with the fact that the Earth Earthworm was exerting its full power at this moment, it actually drilled more than half a meter deep into the ground in one go.

"Don't even think about it!" Zhuge Tianxin shouted. He lifted his hands from the ground, a white light flashed in his hands, and the Extreme Yang Sword and Ultimate Yin Blade appeared. His figure was like the wind, rapidly charging toward the Earth Earthworm.

"Dual Blade Slash!" With a loud roar, he swung the Extreme Yang Sword and Ultimate Yin Blade, striking heavily at the Earth Earthworm.

Boom! The dual blades slashed heavily into the middle of the Earth Earthworm's tentacles, which were arched as it plunged into the ground. The immense force not only caused a huge explosion sound but also sent the Earth Earthworm flying directly. The tentacles that had just plunged underground were pulled out by the immense force, flying away along with its body. Even the stone giant holding the other end of the Earth Earthworm was made unstable by the immense force, stumbling out two or three steps before steadying itself.

"Let you taste the shoulder throw again." Activating his mind power again, the stone giant, which had just steadied its figure, seemed to have received an order. Its hands exerted force, lifting the Earth Earthworm over its shoulder again. Its waist exerted force, wanting to perform another shoulder throw to smash the Earth Earthworm onto the ground.

Moo... The Earth Earthworm roared in anger. It had already been shoulder-thrown by the stone giant once and knew the power of the shoulder throw. It didn't want to be thrown a second time, so it also became ruthless. When it was lifted over the shoulder by the stone giant and was in mid-air, it roared, its body twisting, forcibly bending itself. Although its body was still being thrown toward the ground, the other end had already stabbed straight at the stone giant like a viper flicking its tongue.

Boom! With a loud noise, the Earth Earthworm was slammed heavily onto the ground, but at the same time, its tentacles had already pierced the stone giant, directly piercing through it and even passing through the stone giant to stab into the ground beneath.

Moo! Just after stabbing into the ground, the Earth Earthworm immediately exerted its full power, wanting to plunge underground. However, unfortunately, although the stone giant had been pierced by it, it was not a living organism but Zhuge Tianxin's magic, so it would not die from being pierced. It only needed Zhuge Tianxin's control to be able to move again.

When the Earth Earthworm erupted with all its strength, wanting to continue plunging underground, Zhuge Tianxin activated his mind power. The stone giant suddenly grabbed the tentacle at the other end, its hands exerting force suddenly, directly pulling the Earth Earthworm backward.

"Since you want to return to the ground, I will let you return to the ground." The Earth Earthworm was pulled by the stone giant. Zhuge Tianxin said. After speaking, he activated Earth-style magic again. The ground around the tentacles where the Earth Earthworm had plunged into the ground began to change constantly, rapidly rising, wrapping around the Earth Earthworm as it approached the stone giant, and then gradually merging into the stone giant's body, forming a giant stone ball that wrapped both the Earth Earthworm and the stone giant inside.

Moo... The Earth Earthworm clearly didn't know why Zhuge Tianxin wanted to help it enter the soil. But once it entered the soil, it had the possibility of recovery, and even a chance to counterattack. However, with its intelligence, it was impossible to know why Zhuge Tianxin would trap it in the soil.

Inside the giant stone ball, the Earth Earthworm immediately kept absorbing moisture from the surroundings, wanting to moisten its body. However, it tragically discovered that there was no moisture at all in the surroundings.

"Explode!" Zhuge Tianxin didn't care what the Earth Earthworm was doing inside the stone ball. Seeing that the stone ball had taken shape, he shouted "Explode."

Boom! With a loud noise, the stone ball exploded violently. The immense explosive power formed a mushroom cloud rising from the ground, and the Earth Earthworm inside the stone ball was directly turned into ashes in the explosion. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
