Chapter 1452: Are You Wasting It? (Bonus Chapter)
The Star-Devouring Giant Worm naturally accepted whatever came its way, no matter if it was fifty thousand jin of soybeans!
There's nothing in this world that I can't eat!
It can even devour star cores, so what's this little thing?
Fifty thousand jin of soybeans were unceremoniously swallowed down the throat of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm!
Yet the suction force from the abyssal maw showed no sign of weakening, and the space was severely distorted!
Even Jiangnan, who had teleported several times, was thrown out mid-journey and instead fell toward the abyssal maw!
Li Bing and Alice closed their eyes tightly, thinking that they should have written a suicide note before coming here!
Only David aimed his camera at the worm's mouth, filming frantically!
Though the person may be sliced to pieces, their image remains in the world!
No one can stop me from recording this video!
But Jiangnan's expression turned fierce!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) Tom cat's!
I'm going all out!
Falling into the Star-Devouring Giant Worm's mouth would mean certain death, no chance of survival!
Better to charge into the dimensional gap again—one chance in ten is still a chance!
Just as Jiangnan's group was about to be sucked into the giant maw, Jiangnan raised his hand and condensed a Void-Rending Sawblade!
He was about to slash at the void, tearing open a spatial rift to hide in the dimensional gap!
But at that moment, the void violently fluctuated, and icy silk-like hair fluttered!
Jiangning, dressed in a white gown and holding a Bose Particle Sword, suddenly rushed out of the void!
Leaving Jiangnan only with a heroic back view!
"Extreme Cold Freeze!"
A cyan-blue burst of Bose light erupted, and her small hand pressed hard against the Star-Devouring Giant Worm!
The surrounding high-temperature environment instantly turned into extreme cold!
The giant worm's mouth, which was ten kilometers thick, was suddenly frozen solid!
Several kilometers of its body were covered with white frost, and a large section was frozen stiff!
Even the spinning silver scales were frozen still, no longer rotating!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up with surprise: (งᵒ̌⌔ᵒ̌)ง "Sister Ningning? How did you get here?"
Wasn't she supposed to be on Lan Xing?
How did she end up on the moon, 380,000 kilometers away?
Jiangning didn't turn around: "No matter how many times, I will stand in front of you!"
Her words seemed to carry ice crystals, but the warmth within them was enough to melt snow!
Jiangnan's heart melted, okay?
She chased after me across 380,000 kilometers?
Just as Jiangnan was about to speak, Jiangning turned around and flicked him on the forehead!
The flick made Jiangnan's head jerk back!
(｡◔◡◔ิ) "Xiao Jingjing asked me to deliver this brain flick to you."
Jiangnan clutched his head: ୧(･᷄﹏･᷅)୨ ???
You can deliver something like that too?
But the Star-Devouring Giant Worm was only frozen for a moment; the blue ice on its body exploded violently, and it lunged at Jiangning again!
Jiangning's beautiful eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed!
"A young Star-Devouring Giant Worm? Igor certainly has deep pockets. The Holy Star is becoming more and more reckless!"
As she spoke, she slashed down with her Bose Particle Sword!
A dazzling streak of Bose light spread out and heavily struck the corner of the worm's mouth!
"Rip!"
Blood splattered, and the wound was vicious; even the hard scales were broken by the Bose particles!
But the moment the Bose light dissipated, the wound at the corner of the worm's mouth had already regenerated!
This level of attack could not inflict serious damage!
Jiangnan was horrified: ∑(°口°๑) "You're saying this thing is just a baby?"
A baby this big?
Are you kidding me?
Jiangning frowned: (O･᷄～･᷅) "This thing is like the mother vine—a bug-level creature. An adult can even devour an entire planet in one bite!"
"It's a creature that can grow to the level of a Planet Destroyer!"
"Getting entangled with it is a huge hassle. Hurry and leave!"
Jiangnan was shocked, suddenly remembering the special effects when they sprayed the Didiwei spray on the Celestial Azure Vine!
Its roots spread across the entire planet, riddling it with holes!
So the Star-Devouring Giant Worm is the same?
It really lives up to its name!
Jiangning's slash interrupted the suction force emitted by the worm!
Taking this opportunity, Jiangnan frantically teleported upward, trying to escape the worm's pursuit!
But the worm went crazy, its massive body stretching upward endlessly!
Like a subway with no end in sight!
When Eva saw the blue Bose light, she was terrified and prostrated herself on the ground!
She performed a full-body bow, not even daring to look at Jiangning's figure!
Not only Eva, but all the One-Eyed species in the Moon Eye prostrated themselves!
Showing their awe!
But they were also a bit puzzled—why was the holy envoy of the Bose race attacking the Star-Devouring Giant Worm?
But they were terrified!
"Excavation team! Quickly control the mining machines! Don't show disrespect to the Bose holy envoy! Do you want our Pupil race to be wiped out?"
The excavation team's eyes nearly bulged out!
"It's out of control! The Star-Devouring Giant Worm is completely uncontrollable!"
At this moment, the worm chased Jiangnan like crazy, as if it wouldn't stop until it ate him!
Jiangnan cursed all the way, only able to teleport and flee!
But Jiangning was extremely puzzled!
(๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Why is the Star-Devouring Giant Worm chasing you? Logically, this creature is gentle by nature!"
"It has low intelligence, cute and lovely, no brain—why is it showing such strong aggression?"
Jiangnan: !!!
"You call this thing gentle? It doesn't even come close to being cute!"
"How should I know? It wanted to bite me as soon as it came out!"
"Maybe my charm and handsomeness threatened its status?"
Jiangning rolled her eyes. With the worm's appearance, how could you possibly threaten it?
Li Bing was taken aback: (?ὅ～ὅ) "Could it be because of that orange bead you ate?"
Jiangning's gaze suddenly fell on Li Bing!
"What bead?"
Ever since Jiangnan landed on the moon and contacted the One-Eyed species, Jiangning had followed out of worry!
She also feared that the Holy Star had other arrangements on the moon, leaving Bose bodies that Jiangnan couldn't handle!
But it seemed there were no other Bose bodies on the moon?
And she hadn't seen the video David was filming!
Jiangnan scratched his head: ୧(•︠～•︡) "Maybe? It was an orange bead, pretty good-looking. I found nine of them in the One-Eyed race's treasure vault, and I ate one!"
"It was really fragrant. I wanted to eat another, but I held back!"
Jiangning's eyes widened, and her voice rose by an octave!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "You ate it? The whole thing? Are you wasting it?"
"No wonder the Star-Devouring Giant Worm wants to bite you to death!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Wasting it? Was that thing valuable?"
Jiangning was speechless: "That thing is called an Incense Bead, a precious substance refined by the Star-Devouring Giant Worm!"
"It takes devouring an entire planet to produce a tiny amount. In Thousand Stars City, it can sell for a sky-high price!"
"For a lowly slave race like the Pupil race, one bead is enough to buy an entire clan!"
"It can even be traded for an asteroid. It's truly worth a star!"
"Since the worm has low intelligence, it devours planets to produce Incense Beads for its own consumption, to increase its intelligence and evolve. You ate its bead—of course it's furious!"
Jiangnan's eyes bulged!
Whoa! Worth a star? Then I still have eight beads, so I'm now rich enough to own eight asteroids?
And what is Thousand Stars City?
Li Bing and the others were also dumbfounded. What Jiangning said directly challenged their worldview!
Planets could be bought and sold?
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "No way? The One-Eyed species are so powerful, but they're just lowly slave race?"
One Incense Bead can buy an entire clan?
Jiangning nodded: "The Pupil race is indeed a lowly slave race, usually bought to work as miners in starry sky mines..."
"They look strong, but a race's rank isn't determined that way. Let's go first; I'll explain later!"
At this moment, Jiangnan and the others were shocked by the information Jiangning had revealed!
If the One-Eyed species, as crazy as they are, are just slave race, then humans must be even more garbage?
So garbage, yet the Holy Star goes to so much trouble, causing incidents repeatedly—isn't that just being sick?
At this moment, Jiangnan had continuously teleported and reached the middle of the Moon Eye!
And the worm was still chasing!
But then, the worm's massive body suddenly stiffened!
All its scales bristled, its eyes bulged, and a ring of orange-yellow light appeared on its body!
Jiangning was puzzled: (´ﾟ^ﾟ｀) "Why isn't it chasing anymore?"
Jiangnan looked guilty: (乛﹏乛٥) "I just fed it fifty thousand jin of Small Soybeans. Is it already taking effect?"
"I thought it would take a while longer!"
Jiangning: !!!
(´ﾟ口ﾟ)? "Soybeans? You... you fed it that? Then..."
"Are you sure the moon won't be blown apart by its fart?"
There's no need to dig holes to destroy it anymore; it'll just blow up directly!
Li Bing and Chen Daoyi also panicked. With such a huge body, if it really farts, what kind of scene would that be?
Even if it doesn't blow up the moon, the powerful thrust might push the moon out of its orbit and send it crashing into Lan Xing!
A true planetary engine, huh?
Is the scene from the Abyss going to repeat itself?
Jiangnan swallowed hard: (•́ω•̀٥) "I... I hope it won't be that serious?"
But it's too late to regret now, damn it!
I don't know if the moon will be shattered, but if we don't leave now, we'll definitely be marinated in the smell!
Chen Daoyi held his forehead: "Before Jiangnan came, the One-Eyed species and the Star-Devouring Giant Worm were the biggest threats to human civilization!"
"After Jiangnan came, you became the biggest threat!"
Is humanity and the moon constantly facing the threat of destruction?
Jiangnan sweated profusely: (๑•̀◠•́)و "Ahem... I bet it won't blow up!"
At this moment, the Star-Devouring Giant Worm coiled its massive body layer by layer, finally revealing its tail!
The tail was a normal worm tail, not a mouth at both ends!
And at the tail, there was only a small hole the size of a fingernail!
Now, the orange-yellow light all over the worm's body frantically converged toward the tail, like a revolving lantern!
Eva's eyes lit up!
٩(ˊ๑✧)و "Heavens! Is it about to produce an Incense Bead? Hurry! Go catch it!"
"Put it in the Origin Spark box immediately after production to isolate it, and transport it out of the mine as fast as possible! Don't let the worm sense it!"
"Otherwise, it will eat it itself. Forget it, I'll go catch it!"
With that, she quickly took out the box for storing Incense Beads and rushed straight toward the worm's tail!
