When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 811 - 321: Glacial Crystal Worm (Part 3)
"Glacial Crystal Worms are the most common demon spirits in the Land of Nine Dragons Profound Ice; however, their levels are generally very low, at the bottom of the food chain. So usually, Glacial Crystal Worms live beneath the ice, rarely tunneling out, to avoid being hunted by other powerful demon spirits."
Li Qingyi said as she walked, "It’s said that there are nine of the most powerful demon spirits in the Land of Nine Dragons Profound Ice, all at the Divine Position Level, extremely fierce in temperament. Ordinary demon spirits encounter them only to be eaten, yet perhaps the Glacial Crystal Worms are too weak, so those Divine Position Demon Spirits don’t eat Glacial Crystal Worms. Hence, previous Trial Takers, coming here, would always try to acquire a Glacial Crystal Worm demon spirit to scout the way to avoid accidentally encountering those Divine Position Level demon spirits."
At this, Li Qingyi glanced at Li Xiu, "As for the secretions of those Glacial Crystal Worms, it’s just a nicer way to say it; you can also understand it as excrement."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiu immediately felt a churn in his stomach, with a strong urge to retch.
"You better not puke. There’s not much you can eat in the Land of Nine Dragons Profound Ice, so if you don’t want to go hungry, you’ll have to eat this," Qingyi said, seeing Li Xiu’s gloomy expression, finally breaking into a smile, "Don’t look like that, the Glacial Crystal Worms eat the microorganisms in the ice and snow, very clean in themselves. You can think of their secretions as something like honey. Once those secretions enter the stomach, they expand, eating a little can last you several days, you won’t need to eat again soon." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Alright." Li Xiu instinctively wiped his mouth, but there was nothing.
"Do we need to acquire a Glacial Crystal Worm demon spirit first?" Li Xiu asked.
"I’ve already prepared one when I came here, but few people make it out alive from the Land of Nine Dragons Profound Ice, so the Ice Crystal Rings taken out are scarce; I only managed to get this one. If you want, you can go hunt a Glacial Crystal Worm first." Li Qingyi raised her left hand, showing the ring on her finger that appeared like ice crystal.
"It’s rare to come here once, and who knows if there will be another chance in the future, might as well get a Glacial Crystal Worm." Li Xiu felt uneasy with nothing in his hand and thought of getting one first.
Li Qingyi nodded, "Then let’s find a place where Glacial Crystal Worms gather."
"Didn’t you say Glacial Crystal Worms are extremely common? Do we really need to find a place where they gather?" Li Xiu asked, puzzled.
"They’re indeed very common, perhaps quite a few below the ice under our feet. But once we start digging the ice layer, they’ll immediately flee due to the vibrations. By the time we’ve dug through, they’ll already be long gone. Just like when we were extracting those secretions earlier, there surely were Glacial Crystal Worms there before we started digging, but they had already escaped." Li Qingyi replied with a half-smile.
"Can we not mention that stuff anymore?" Li Xiu sighed.
"You were the one who asked; I was just explaining it to you." Li Qingyi chuckled.
Li Xiu said no more and followed Li Qingyi for a while until she stopped at a large glacial rift.
She laid on the ground to look inside and listened for a moment, then the Ice Crystal Ring on her finger transformed into a tiny demon spirit resembling an ice crystal worm, which crawled down the glacial rift.
Li Xiu curiously observed the Glacial Crystal Worm. It appeared like pure ice crystal, only twenty centimeters long, thinner than chopsticks, and while moving on the ice, it seemed like there were ice blades underneath, directly sliding into the rift, quite swiftly.
After a long time, the Glacial Crystal Worm emerged again, crawling onto Li Qingyi’s finger, emitting a buzz similar to a fly, seemingly conveying some message to her.
"Alright, there aren’t any of the terrifying demon spirits below; there are plenty of Glacial Crystal Worms. Let’s go down." Li Qingyi said and crawled into the glacial rift.
Li Xiu followed her down. Below were thick layers of ice, resembling a cavern, but with bizarrely shaped glaciers instead of stalactites.
Since some ice caverns are quite narrow and unsuitable for mounts, Li Qingyi had no choice but to walk herself.
After traversing several glacial caverns, a black rock cave appeared below, which was emitting white steam, feeling very warm.
Li Qingyi summoned the Light Base Level Blizzard Maiden, heading into the rock cave.
Li Xiu hurriedly summoned the Jedi Knight, following Li Qingyi inside.
The temperature in the rock cave was quite high, not cold at all, like another world, with brown-colored Glacial Crystal Worm secretions occasionally visible on the rocks.
After not walking far, they were greeted by a sight where a large cavern opened up, with a hot spring spraying white steam.
Beside the hot spring, Glacial Crystal Worms, shimmering with ice crystal luster, were seen resting and drinking water in large numbers.
Li Xiu scrutinized them, shivering; not only beside the hot spring but even within it were Glacial Crystal Worms.
Because the bodies of Glacial Crystal Worms are transparent, they’re almost invisible in water. At first, Li Xiu hadn’t noticed them.
Upon closer inspection, the hot spring was densely packed with Glacial Crystal Worms, enough to make anyone with fear of crowding nauseous.
Li Qingyi clearly had no such trouble, and directly commanded Blizzard Maiden to attack the Glacial Crystal Worms in the hot spring.
Those Glacial Crystal Worms slid quickly on the ice, but on the rocks moved slowly like worms, unable to escape far.
The sword lights from Blizzard Maiden cut down Glacial Crystal Worms one by one.
The Glacial Crystal Worms in the hot spring immediately began writhing and twisting en masse, countless in number, racing to crawl onto the rocks, desperate to return to the outer glacial area.
