Chapter 2323From the top, they could hear a roaring and deafening sound echoing from the depth below.
There was also a sickening smell wafting in the air above the sheer cliff. It smelled like rotten bodies.
“Sole Wolf,” Zeke called out, “don't you think this smell is familiar?”
Sole Wolf nodded. “Yeah. It smells the same as the thing that was tracking me down in the dark the
other day.”
Zeke nodded. “I suspected that what happened that day had something to do with Cesar, the sorcerer.
This smell verifies my conjecture.”
Ares looked down into the cliff. “This must be Ghoul Cliff. Are there really ten thousand dead bodies
down there?”
“Well, I guess there must be many, or the smell wouldn't be so nauseating,” replied Zeke in a low voice.
Crack!
Suddenly, the face of the rock beside them split into a few fissures.
“He's coming. Get ready!” Zeke commanded.
“Yes, sir!”
They went into a formation facing the cracks on the wall, staring at it. When the rocks finally fell to the ground, another cave was revealed, and a fully black worm crawled
out from the narrow hole.
It was as black as coal, and it had a long and slender body with sturdy legs. Even its wings were
painted black.
Although its eyes were small, they still looked spooky and malicious.
The creature flapped its wings and helicoptered above the group of men.
“What is this?” Sole Wolf asked Zeke telepathically.
“Looks like the White Muraco Clan's Progenitor, but the color and size are different,” Zeke replied in the
same manner.
“Should we blow it up? It keeps hovering over our head. I think it has a death wish.”
“Don't do anything rash. We should play by ear until the master reveals himself.”
“All right, but I still can't wait to have some barbecue worm tonight. This worm looks like it's rich in
protein. I'm sure it's as nutritious as beef and—”
Before Sole Wolf could even finish, he felt his mental energy being sucked away by the black worm.
Alfred was alerted. “Mr. Williams, it's feeding on our mental energy! Should we kill it?” “No. We shall give it what it wants,” Zeke said calmly with a smile.
“Come on, guys. We should feed it to its fill,” he added.
The rest smiled knowingly and followed suit.
Under Zeke's command, they released all their mental energy at once. The energy swarmed toward
the worm like a flood, filling it up.
noveldramaSoon enough, the black worm was so full it could no longer move.
Buzz!
It tried moving its wings, but those wings were not enough to support its weight anymore. It lay on the
ground groaning in pain and flapping its wings in frustration.
“What's the matter, Worm King?” the master asked.
The same croaky voice reverberated from under the cliff.
Then, a man in a black long robe flew from below, taking Worm King in his arms.
Zeke and the others smiled in satisfaction when they saw that man.
It was none other than the man they had been looking for—Cesar.
Chirp! Chirp! Worm King's cries became louder as if it was warning the sorcerer.
“Their mental energy is very strong? What's so bad about it? You will like it, isn't it?” Cesar replied.
Buzz!
Cesar looked perplexed. “You said they're dangerous?” he asked, shifting his gaze toward Zeke and
the rest.
“This can't be. They are just a bunch of piglets. They can't cause us harm.”
When Sole Wolf heard that word again from Cesar's mouth, he could no longer hold his anger.
