Chapter 79 Succeed
"It depends on the temperature." On the simple experimental table, Thain held a scalpel and cut a strip of sandworm skin about two centimeters long and said to himself.
In addition to the sandworm in front of me, several other tiny sandworms that have been made into specimens can be seen on the experimental platform in Thain.
This is a simple experimental platform made of soil and sand.
Nearly twenty days have passed since Thane woke up and discovered the swarm of sandworms.
The simple conditions made the progress of Thain's experiments and research on sandworms relatively slow.
To this day, Thane's understanding of sandworms is limited to the surface.
In addition to knowing that the other party most likely relies on temperature to identify targets, another piece of information Thain has obtained these days is that sandworms are afraid of water.
A test tube containing ordinary water was pinched open by Thain.
When he poured the water into the small sandworm that still had some vitality on the experimental table, the sandworm began to twist and struggle.
Two small mouths filled with sharp fangs kept roaring something.
After almost two minutes, the sandworm stopped twisting, and its originally tough body began to melt, eventually turning into a puddle of yellow mucus with a weird sour smell.
Thane threw a small piece of wood into the slime.
The corrosive sound of "Hiss!" appeared immediately.
The wood chips were burned into pitch black charcoal almost instantly.
In terms of corrosive ability, the mucus left behind after the sandworm melts is no less corrosive than the acid of Thane's acid cane.
"What kind of creature is this?" Thain couldn't help but asked in shock.
No wonder this thing can feed on yellow sand. With such a terrifying digestive ability, there is nothing else they can't eat.
At this moment, there are still several living sandworms on Thain's experimental platform.
The sandworm's ability to swallow gold and sand made it impossible for Thain to preserve it for a long time except to make it into a specimen.
In an ordinary test tube container, it only takes a moment for a sandworm to make a hole.
After wasting two test tubes, Thain never tried to store them again.
The sandworms in front of him were all caught by him today.
After once again lamenting the tenacity and vitality of the sandworms and the terrifying acid, Thain began to kill the remaining sandworms one by one and collected them as specimens.
Except for fear of water
In addition, another weakness of the sandworm lies in its two ends of the head.
Gently prick a thin needle in a certain area behind the fangs at both ends of the sandworm, and the little thing will lose strength and gradually lose vital signs.
After completing the preparation of several more sandworm specimens, Thain began to think about his next plan.
During the past twenty days, Thain not only studied sandworms, he also conducted detailed exploration and recording of the sand valley where he was and the activities of the sandworm groups deep in the sand valley.
Its purpose is nothing more than to obtain those elemental beads.
But unfortunately strength is the foundation of everything.
The fact that Thain can bully and capture tiny sandworms ranging from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters in length does not mean that he can provoke large-scale sandworm swarms, let alone that there are often several meters or even ten meters in them. A giant sandworm.
Not to mention the two sharp fangs and the giant mouth of the sandworm, with just the size of the giant sandworm, Thain felt that it would not be a problem for the opponent to assess the level of a high-level Warcraft, and it might even be stronger.
After much consideration, Thane found that there seemed to be only one way for him to repel the sandworm swarm and get back the Elemental Orbs.
"It seems that I have to use this magical device that my mentor gave me." A large black and gray iron can was taken out of the space ring by Thain.
The full name of this thing is "Simplified Magic Cannon", with a total of three shells, which is the key to Thane getting back those elemental beads.
Looking at the tin can in front of him and the information he had, Thain began to lower his head and meditate on the relevant plans.
…
"Boom!" The huge explosion echoed deep in the sand valley.
As an official magic weapon, the power of the "Simplified Magic Cannon" is truly beyond Thane's imagination.
Just one cannonball not only wiped out two-thirds of the intertwined swarm of sandworms lured by Thain, but also caused a partial collapse in the central area of the sand valley.
No! The center of the sand valley began to collapse not just because of the power of the "simplified magic cannon".
This is because the place directly below the sand valley itself has been hollowed out by these sandworms.
These sandworms do not seem to have much intelligence. In terms of spirituality, they are not as good as the intermediate monsters in the wizarding world.
The ten-meter-long giant insect that had brought great pressure and intimidation to Thane before was directly blown into two pieces by the magic cannon with a roar.
Although he did not die immediately, there was no possibility of pursuing Thain.
Originally, Thain planned to use two cannonballs. Seeing this situation, Thain, who had already obtained the Pearl of Elements, did not waste it.
He escaped from the center of the sand valley in time and hurriedly took away the simple version of the magic cannon fixed there with a space ring.
The simple version of the magic cannon is powerful, but its activation is cumbersome and its trajectory is single, which is also a flaw.
It is indeed useful against low-level creatures with little intelligence like sandworms, but if it is used in a battle between magicians of the same level, the bulkiness and stiffness of this magic weapon will be fully reflected.
"This kind of magic weapon is suitable for large-scale deployment. If it is a hundred magic cannons, aimed at the same direction at the same time..." Thain couldn't help but shudder when he thought about this.
Just a simple version of the magic cannon has such power.
If they were real magic cannons, and if they were piled up to a certain level, even a terrifying being like the dean might not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment.
He couldn't help but shook his head and clenched the Pearl of Elements in his hand.
Throwing his boring thoughts behind, Thain quickly left Sand Valley, a land of right and wrong.
At the same time as he succeeded, a shocking roar came from deeper underground in the center of the sand valley.
Obviously, the ten-meter-long sandworm is not the real boss of this sand valley, there are stronger ones below.
The thin sound of "rustling" is heard endlessly, which is the sound of the swarm of sandworms moving forward.
I don’t know where this group of sandworms came from, or whether they are a native species in the yellow sand world.
Thain's question cannot be answered for the time being, because all he can think about now is returning to the Underdark.
…
Outside Sand Valley.
The hot sun irritated Thain's eyes, and the hot yellow sand burned his skin.
Holding the black grip in one hand and the Elemental Pearl in the other, Thane maintained this posture for nearly half an hour.
The familiar pulling force did not appear. Instead, it was Thain himself who felt faintly dizzy.
Thain didn't know if it was due to lack of water, or because he felt dizzy after realizing that he might not be able to leave this world.
A pair of eyes stared at the cloudless sky, and three huge suns illuminated Thain's heart with an incomparable void.
What he was saying at this moment was, "It's impossible, my mentor wouldn't lie to me."
