Chapter 131: Big Fish Eats Small Fish
Another 10 minutes passed.
Although the output of the Snow Feather Goblins wasn’t too high, their numbers were incomparable to before.
The remaining Skeleton Soldiers were almost all dead or injured.
It’s worth mentioning that a terrifying magic missile was constantly attacking from the side.
Most likely it was the boss.
The goblins definitely couldn’t take it head-on.
But Zane couldn’t transform into Alna in front of all the wolves either; that would be hard to explain later.
In a hurry, he decided to let Mo Se block it; that devour skill might be useful.
As she expected, after being weakened by the Ice Flow Shield, the remaining impact was swallowed whole by it, with not a single damage number appearing; its form suddenly swelled up a bit and then burrowed back into the ground.
It seemed to have gained resistance; subsequent attacks didn’t need to be weakened, and Mo Se could directly consume them.
As expected of the Sacred Demon Beetle, nothing obtained from the Tower of Forgetting is of poor quality!
After the warriors were killed, the mages came next.
There seemed to be something behind the mages, but it was too far away to see clearly.

Miss
The spell that just barely missed prompted Starry to nearly get killed while trying to check the monster’s stats.
A level 28 silver-grade monster surprised her somewhat.
Currently, players’ average levels are still below 20; is it really okay to have level 28 monsters? Moreover… there might even be 30+ level silver or even gold-grade monsters.
Additionally, it could be inferred that their attack range was 40 yards.
The short bows used by goblins had a maximum attack range of only 20 yards, which couldn’t compare at all.
Kiting could still have some effect against melee units, but daring to try that against mages was tantamount to seeking death.
“What do we do?” Alu looked anxiously at that group of monsters.
“We can’t fight them,” Starry shook her head.
“Are we going to run…?” It felt somewhat resentful.
“Who said anything about running? We’re going into the tunnel to defend!”
“…?”
…
Since yesterday, Mo Se had already excavated a spacious area below.
Moreover, there were intersecting tunnels.
Using the narrowness of the openings, the number of enemies that could enter at one time was very limited, and the mage was killed by Starry’s sword before it could even change direction.
Area attack skills continuously targeted the tunnel entrance.
The goblins and Gray Wolves hid in the dark tunnel.
The experience dropped by the Skeleton Mage was not something that a level 25 monster could compare to; Zane’s experience had already increased by half, and if he maintained this speed, he would reach level 26 in no time.
In this siege, the gap between the players who survive and those who die will likely be enormous.
Unfortunately, a beautiful idea often meets a harsh reality.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded at the tunnel entrance, and the already faint light suddenly dimmed.
Blocked?
Moreover, strange rustling noises were coming from all directions.
Starry took out a magical lantern from her bag.
The bright magical light illuminated the entire space, and then she saw countless black dots densely packed on the wall.
Check information.
Rotting Worm

Level: 30
Health: 1800
Physical Attack Power: 185-210
Magical Attack Power: 153-176
Physical Defense: 55
Magical Defense: 55
Skills: Corrosion, Bite, Split
Description: A worm eroded and decayed by the aura of death; after absorbing enough energy, it will split into two individuals.
“Ah——!” Cute Orange screamed in fright.
The others also had ugly expressions; a wall covered with worms would unnerve anyone.
A level 30 silver-grade monster, although its health was not even half that of the Skeleton Mage, was relatively small in size and very agile.
Endless Sea’s attack resulted in a miss.
Not only that, several worms appeared on the ground; Brother Shiu laid a sea of fire on the ground to mitigate the situation somewhat.
However, places that weren’t covered suffered greatly.
Some goblins and Gray Wolves were crawled on by one or two rotting worms, and after a few bites, they were killed!
In fact, new worms even split off!
…
“Hah!” Kainel sneered with disdain.
A mere trick; entering the tunnel is just asking for death! Did they think he wouldn’t be able to dig a tunnel without tools?
As long as they sealed the exit, countless worms would devour all life inside, splitting off more kin!
And upon sealing the exit, this group of monsters was stunned, then resumed their original path, slowly marching toward Silver Light City.
…
“…” Zane’s feelings were quite complex at the moment.
If asked why…
The crisis had been averted; the walls around were clean, and not even the corpses of the worms could be seen.
That’s right; it was Mo Se’s doing.
This guy… just like big fish eating small fish, had vacuumed all the worms along the walls!
Though these creatures were small, their level and strength were legitimate.
Zane jumped straight to level 27, and Starry reached level 28.

Not only had it evolved into Gold Grade, but it had also entered the juvenile stage and learned a new skill, Magic Armor.
Furthermore, all its attributes underwent significant leaps.
17,000 health!
It could probably withstand a gold-grade boss for a long time!
Even more exaggerated… was its size.
It was now about the size of a house.
If it hadn’t dug the path ahead in time, it would have already crushed everyone else to death.
“Gulp…” Kainel swallowed hard, “It can still grow this big?”
“Wow…”
Everyone was so surprised they had nothing to say.
At that moment, Youyoufen suddenly said, “Orange… don’t touch me, it’s so dark and scary.”
“Ah?” Cute Orange was confused.
“I didn’t touch you.”
“What?” Youyoufen couldn’t believe it, lighting the lantern.
In the darkness, a grinning man’s figure had inexplicably appeared behind them!
“Hello~ beautiful, we meet again.” He placed his right hand on the right side of his head, raising his index and middle fingers in a flirtatious gesture.
“Ah——!!”
“What happened!?”
Thousand Flash Step!
Starry rushed to Youyoufen’s side as quickly as possible.
Naturally, she saw this person and could see his nickname—Shadow Mirage.
Without a doubt, he was a player.
How did he get here?
It was unclear, but… since he was sneaking around and scaring them, he definitely had ill intentions; better take him down first!
Under the light emitted by the lantern, Starry’s surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and a light blue cold air clung to the Qiu Yue Sword.
Ice Moon Slash!
Starry swung her sword towards the enemy, crossing.
But… there was no sense of impact. A miss flew out as he dodged!
“Oh wow, you scared me! I said, Miss, you’re too hasty!” Shadow Mirage patted his chest, seemingly very scared.
