Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Even warriors like O’Neill and Arya, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could not help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the corpses of their own kind being eaten as food by unknown dark creatures.
“What the hell is this thing?” Arya asked in a low voice.
“This is a Dark Worm, a type of level 1 dark creature. In terms of individual strength, it is ranked last among the dark creatures. Among the dark creatures, it has always been treated as food. However, they also have some very difficult means, which is the extraordinary tenacity of their vitality.”
“They don’t have a life core. Even if they are cut into two pieces, they will not be killed. In fact, they might even be cut into two pieces because of this. They are omnivorous animals. They are never picky. Even soil and rocks can become their food. Their growth potential is very high. As long as they have enough food, they can even defeat the Dark Dragon.”
Thomas recalled the description of this dark creature in the school.
“They are so powerful that they can’t be killed even if they are cut in half? Is there no way to deal with them?”
Hearing Thomas’ introduction, O’Neill was dumbfounded.
If what Thomas said was true, then he didn’t have any way to deal with the Dark Worms.
“You can’t say that. These Dark Worms have many obvious weaknesses. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be at the bottom of the dark creatures all the time,” Thomas said with a smile.
“What weaknesses?” O’Neill asked hurriedly.
“Flames,” Thomas said coldly. “These Dark Worms are most afraid of flames. They are like dry wood. As long as there is a strong flame, it is enough to kill them!”
“Really? Then can this torch do it?” O’Neill was overjoyed.
“We can try it. Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter. I have other ways,” Thomas said.
“Really? Then I’ll give it a try!” O’Neill held a torch in his hand, ready to deal with the Dark Worms.
Emma, who had been standing at the end of the line, suddenly said, “Wait. Can I do it?”
“You want to go?” O’Neill looked at the 12 or 13-year-old girl in surprise.
“Well, I heard from you that this is the weakest dark creature. If I can’t even deal with them, how can I avenge everyone? I want to try,” Emma said firmly.
“This…” O’Neill looked at Thomas hesitantly.
Thomas thought for a moment and said, “Well, since you’ve decided, then go and try. O’Neill, you stay by the side and watch. If there’s a problem, help in time.”
“Understood, Sir Thomas!” O’Neill handed the torch in his hand to Emma while he held the bronze shield and walked beside Emma.
The two of them walked towards the center of the wine cellar.
As if sensing that a human had intruded into their area, the Dark Worms that were eating stopped eating and raised their heads from the pile of corpses one by one.
Hiss–
Hiss–
A Dark Worm that was closest to the two of them suddenly straightened its body and opened its mouth.
The front part of the Dark Worm spread out in a cross shape, revealing rows of sharp teeth inside.
Sticky liquid dripped from the sharp teeth.
The Dark Worm crawled toward the two of them like a magnified earthworm.
Seeing the terrifying Dark Worm crawling toward her, Emma could not help but take a step back, her face pale.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a Dark Worm.”
Without knowing when, Thomas had already arrived behind Emma and gently patted her shoulder.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s just a little ugly. As long as you hold on to the torch in your hand, it’s like a lamb to be slaughtered.”
As Thomas spoke, he grabbed Emma’s arm, raised the torch in his hand, and stabbed it at the Dark Worm that was crawling towards her.
Whoosh!
As soon as the torch touched the Dark Worm’s body, it let out a sharp sound. Then, a flame started burning along the Dark Worm’s body.
In the blink of an eye, the Dark Worm had turned into a huge torch, and its entire body was burning.
Emma was shocked by the change in the Dark Worm. She did not expect that a mere torch could have such destructive power. In the blink of an eye, it had ignited the Dark Worm.
The Dark Worm burned very fast. After seven or eight seconds, it was burned into ashes, leaving only a white magic core on the ground.
“How is it? They are nothing to be afraid of, aren’t they? Do you want to try again?” Thomas encouraged Emma from behind.
“Yes!”
Emma nodded hard, then held up the torch and walked toward the Dark Worms.
When the Dark Worms saw the miserable state of the previous one and saw Emma walking towards them, they twisted their huge bodies and retreated one after another.
Although their bodies were much bigger than the petite Emma, and there were hundreds of them, they still fought to retreat.
Emma raised her torch and chased after them.
Emma chased after a Dark Worm and smashed the torch on its body.
Whoosh!
The escaping Dark Worm was instantly ignited, like a burning torch.
Emma did not stop there. She raised her torch and rushed to another Dark Worm, smashing the torch on its body.
Another Dark Worm was also ignited.
Emma held the torch in the wine cellar and crazily smashed it at the Dark Worms. One by one, the Dark Worms turned into torches and burned fiercely.
Suddenly, Emma was careless and did not grab the torch. The torch fell into the mouth of a Dark Worm.
The Dark Worm was burned into ashes, but the torch was also ignited all over its body. It became a burning stick and could not get up at all.
Seeing that Emma had lost her weapon, the fleeing Dark Worms turned around and opened their mouths, crawling towards Emma.
Seeing this, Emma could not help but be afraid.
“This is the first lesson I want to teach you. Always hold on to your weapon,” Thomas shouted from behind.
With that, Thomas placed three magic cores on the ground. “Create a Fire Magic Tower!”
A magic array began to rotate, and runes lit up one after another. A small Magic Tower appeared in front of everyone.
