Universe Infinite Canteen

Just when many people had breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the crisis was past, a sudden vibration came from beneath them.

Then, the sand and stones churned, and weird lines suddenly rose from the ground, resembling the veins on an arm.

However, unlike veins, those were still writhing incessantly, dense and close-packed, enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Wang Zhen's complexion drastically changed as if he had remembered something, and exclaimed, "Not good, it's an Alien-Lipped Sand Worm Swarm!"

Ma Lu also received a notification from his Traveler's Bracelet, but he didn't understand why Wang Zhen was so nervous.

The Alien-Lipped Sand Worm was a 1-star ingredient, on the same level as the Young Flame Lizard.

According to the guide, it looked almost the same as an ordinary earthworm, just larger, and its mouth didn't have teeth either, so its attack power should be very limited.

However, upon hearing Wang Zhen's words, Ma Lu found that despair was written on the faces of those around him.

Even Hulk murmured, "It's over, we're finished this time!"

"What's finished?" Ma Lu asked.

"It's an Alien-Lipped Sand Worm Swarm! We're doomed!!! Even if Captain Wei Cha takes action, he can't save us!"

Hulk's eyes were lifeless, as if he was a step from heaven, and behind him, Methe had already curled up into a ball, trembling violently.

"Why are we doomed?" Ma Lu continued to press for answers, yet the vibration below had intensified.

Immediately after, the ground collapsed, forming a giant pit with a diameter of about thirty meters.

But that was not the end, as the collapse at the center of the giant pit continued and picked up speed.

The group tried to drive their motorcycles away, but without realizing it, their tracks were already trapped in the sand.

Thousands of Alien-Lipped Sand Worms were vigorously swimming beneath the sand pit, their movement expanded the gaps between the sand grains, liquifying the surface sand. The slightest pressure would cause it to rapidly sink.

Ma Lu now understood why Wang Zhen and the others were so afraid of these 1-star ingredients.

By individual strength, the Alien-Lipped Sand Worms were undoubtedly the weakest of the lot. However, when their numbers reached a certain level, they could cause a qualitative change through their quantity, unleashing terrifying combat power, making even the most powerful wild beasts take a detour when facing them.

Ma Lu had already twisted the throttle to its limit, but he was still unable to get out of the sand pit and was sinking deeper instead; the quicksand had already covered his ankles, and the others were not faring any better.

Not just them, even the nearby beasts had fallen in, struggling and wailing but only sinking deeper.

At that moment, Wei Cha was still some distance away from them, and although his fire-type power could handle the beasts on the surface, they were ineffective against the sand worms beneath the sand.

Some people even subconsciously took two steps back, fearing that they would also fall into that sand pit.

Without any further hesitation, Ma Lu immediately activated the Golden Blessing [Super Mimicry Show], copied Mai Mai's Electric Field ability, and was about to use it when he remembered something else.

He first cast [Now You Conduct Electricity] towards the sand pit.

This Purple Blessing could increase the target's conductivity by 400%, but Ma Lu was unsure if the sand pit counted as a target. Still, he tried as a last resort and, to his surprise, the blessing took effect successfully.

With no more hesitation, Ma Lu activated his Electric Field ability in an instant, transforming into Thor, the god of thunder. His entire body was shrouded in lightning.

He clenched his fist and punched the ground beneath him, guiding the electric current from his arm downwards, chasing after the prey hidden beneath the sand.

Under the influence of [Now You Conduct Electricity], the electric current, which would normally extend only a short distance, significantly increased its range of activity and quickly located the creators of the sand pit.

But the flesh and blood of these little creatures didn't have the same level of insulation as the sand.

Moreover, to relax the sand pit, they were very close to each other, nearly sticking together.

In other words, as long as he found one, Ma Lu could electrocute a whole group at once, wiping them all out in one fell swoop.

Apart from the Alien-Lipped Sand Worm Swarm, there were also other wild beasts that had fallen into the sand pit from the vicinity.

During the 30-second duration, Ma Lu didn't know how many things he had electrocuted.

Perhaps because he was far enough from the prey, he even triggered the effects of both [Headshot] and [Splitting Arrow].

This made Ma Lu go completely berserk!

This was no longer hunting, it was a massacre!!!

Ma Lu was essentially driving a combine harvester through a wheat field.

The Traveler's Bracelet was once again flooded with incessant notification messages, and this time, he really couldn't keep up with the blessings.

Seeing the 60-second countdown was almost up, Ma Lu got a bit anxious, so he used a trick from his school days and shouted loudly.

"Quick, select C for all of them!"

In the final moments, the Traveler's Bracelet seemed to understand his command, and the screen started flashing wildly, while the character status bar kept growing longer.

Since the Alien-Lipped Sand Worms were only 1-star ingredients, unless the effect of the jackpot heartbeats was active, killing them would only yield White Blessings.

But it couldn't withstand the sheer number.

After checking, Ma Lu found that his character status bar had 16 pages, but the actual number of blessings was even more—they just weren't listed anymore since the White Blessing pool had been drained, and selecting the same blessing again would enhance the existing one instead of taking up more space.

So Ma Lu wasn't clear about how many blessings he had gathered from that wave; he only knew there was a sea of white, sprinkled with a small amount of blue, an even smaller amount of purple, and a touch of gold.

These higher-quality blessings definitely weren't provided by the mere 1-star Alien-Lipped Sand Worms, they were probably burst out from other wild beasts that fell into the trap sand pit.

As for who was so generous, it was impossible to verify by now, and it wasn't important; the collapse of the sand pit had finally stopped.

Although there might still be some living Alien-Lipped Sand Worms below, their ranks had collapsed due to the heavy casualties, and they could no longer cause the sand pit to keep sinking.

Seizing the opportunity, everyone hurriedly escaped.

Seeing the sun above their heads once again, some couldn't help but shed tears, and then they fell into a 10-second state of blindness under the effect of [Strong Light Hurts Eyes], unable to see anything.

But thankfully, they were now close to the city gates, and Wei Cha and others had arrived by this time as well.

The leader of the Flame Fang Hunting Group, Wei Cha, had not taken his eyes off Ma Lu, his gaze filled with unconcealed appreciation for talent.

A hero indeed appreciated another hero.

Wei Cha, who enjoyed burning everything with fierce flames, always had a special preference for hunters with large-area clearing skills, not to mention that the terrifying attack power and endurance that Ma Lu had just shown had left him with an incredibly deep impression.

If he could have such a helper, the Flame Fang's push for becoming a Diamond Hunting Group would be much more assured.

However, before Wei Cha could extend an invitation, his view was blocked by a figure.

"Captain Wei, long time no see," Boggy said.

Wei Cha then saw Boggy and nodded at him, "Your Hunting Group has developed nicely; if your father were still alive, he would certainly be proud of you."
