The scorching sun hung high in the sky, a caravan heading for Poluo City tethered their horses under a tree.
One of the horses started nibbling on the ground turf, inadvertently eating the green leaves where the Gold-eating Worm was hiding. The Gold-eating Worm's thick skin and flesh rendered it immune to the horse's bites, which instead resulted in the horse damaging a tooth.
The slow horse didn't even realize, and simply snorted, shaking its tail, and rested under the tree.
The Gold Eater Worm cursed and retracted into the cavity of the horse's front tooth, peering out.
Voices came from above the horse's head.
"Shang Kingdom is but a tiny nation, why bother gracing them with your personal presence for a blessing upon an unborn child," the man's voice boomed, clearly a skilled practitioner of Dark Energy.
