Lisu County
The entire county town was shrouded in mist, with the surrounding environment pitch-black, and the streets still empty; the monsters had disappeared without a trace.
The Mother Worm carried Su Han swiftly through the town, its enormous form treading the streets and leaving holes of consistent size where its segmented legs dug into the ground.
"Have they run to the poison pits?"
The psychokinetic power of the Mother Worm spread continuously, but beneath the cover of the mist, the shape of the creature that had launched a long-range attack had vanished.
The monster was at a considerable distance, and the attack came so suddenly that even the Mother Worm didn't react in time; it could only roughly identify a direction after the fact.
The ground rumbled, a subtle vibration causing rows of high-rise windows to tremble slightly, as though an earthquake was occurring.
