#560 - Chapter 558: The Dragon Plan
"What I'm going to tell you today is the 'Wyrmwalk Plan'."
Xiao Fifteen, already within the city lord's mansion which had its own barrier, activated another small, hidden barrier, and vividly described to Qi Jing:
"It was two years ago, on a fair and sunny day, that I embarked alone on an adventure into the Behemoth Mountains.
At that time, I was soaring through the high skies on my sword, enjoying the thrill of unbridled freedom.
However, just as I was recording the map, the originally calm earth suddenly trembled violently! Accompanied by bursts of rumbling, the ground began to crack rapidly, as if an eighteenth-level earthquake was ravaging this land.
Startled, I quickly stabilized myself and focused my senses downward.
I saw that beneath the cracked fissures, there was actually hidden an unimaginable behemoth—an incredibly huge, earth-colored earthworm!
Its body was so enormous that it was jaw-dropping; even with my unparalleled senses, I couldn't see its end.
Its thick body was like countless winding mountain ranges pieced together, moving rapidly underground.
This earthworm was truly too big, so big that it exceeded the scope of human cognition.
Each segment of its body was like a mountain, and the dense scales were like a lush forest covering its surface.
When it moved, the soil and rocks on the surface would roll down, the earth would crack, and the mountain peaks would collapse; the scene was extremely shocking.
Then, confident, I drilled into the crack and struck its earth-yellow body with all my strength.
Although I cleaved open a hundred meters, to it, this crack was like a tickle; it couldn't even attract its attention.
But I wouldn't just strike once.
Unwilling to give up, I raised my sword again and slashed at it, creating many, many cracks on its body.
However, it seemed like I hadn't even broken its skin; it completely ignored me and only released some insectoid alien beasts from the cracks.
I killed insects while hacking at it.
It was so big that I hacked at it for a day and a night before it burrowed deep into the ground and left my senses.
If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave Qingyun City too far, I would have definitely followed it to burrow into the ground.
In the end, I only obtained some fragments from its body; most of them were used for experiments, and the remaining scraps were given to Huang Jiu to make ten jars of Wyrmwalk Wine.
Oh, right, because its movements resemble an earth dragon turning over, a veritable earth dragon, I named it 'Wyrmwalk'. Sounds good, right?
Qi Jing nodded:
"Good name."
The story was well told, but the tone was a bit too exaggerated.
This Wyrmwalk sounds quite large, but just listening to it doesn't give much of a real sense.
An earthworm composed of countless mountains—what does it actually look like?
Qi Jing asked:
"Is the Wyrmwalk Plan to hunt the Wyrmwalk?"
Xiao Fifteen shook his head:
"No, it's to use the Wyrmwalk to kill the alien races in the Behemoth Mountains.
You probably haven't heard that when a person's ability reaches level five, they gain an unspeakable intuition, as if life has reached another level.
Lifespan will increase a bit, and the body will also have more resistance to the outside world, reducing damage and curses.
But the most important thing is this intuition; it can vaguely allow us to sense changes in the outside world. For example, when a level five ability user stands in front of another level five ability user, they will both sense each other.
And I can sense that the Wyrmwalk's life level is higher than ours, possibly level six in legends.
So, I guess the Wyrmwalk won't be affected by the curses of those alien races at all. Even if it kills all the alien races, even if the alien race that forcibly exchanges one for one is level five, it won't affect it at all.
So I proposed using the Wyrmwalk to completely solve those alien races, which is the Wyrmwalk Plan."
Xiao Fifteen walked to his flying sword:
"But using such a huge creature is definitely not easy, so I found Brother Yu Ding.
My senses can barely cover a capital city, but Brother Yu's senses can cover half the globe, and his ability can also interfere with the brains of creatures. It's too suitable for him to carry out this task.
As long as he slightly twists the Wyrmwalk's path and crushes all of Qingyun Mountain, and then we kill the remaining flying alien races, the Geng Dimension Gate will no longer be in danger, and we won't have to worry about alien invasions every day."
The flying sword flicked away Xiao Fifteen's hand that wanted to touch it. He smiled softly and continued:
"However, this is also the first time we've done this, and we don't know if those curses will bypass the Wyrmwalk and directly transfer to Brother Yu.
The clever me thought of a way, which is to let 'Rogue' continue to execute this plan when the Wyrmwalk is about to approach.
He will not be affected by any curses and will not be exchanged one for one.
After our research on the Wyrmwalk fragments, we created a bait that can briefly attract the Wyrmwalk's desire, making it eager to devour it.
As long as 'Rogue' holds it, he can guide the Wyrmwalk to crush the area around Qingyun Mountain and crush the vast majority of alien races."
Xiao Fifteen put his hands behind his back, pretending to be casual, and approached the flying sword again. Then he reached out his hand to grab it again, but was dodged again:
"But, 'Rogue' is too rogue. He hasn't been back for three years, so this plan can only be put on hold for now.
Until your appearance.
You can avoid curses and completely replace his position, using the bait to lure the Wyrmwalk.
Every day we delay, the alien races' understanding of humans will deepen, and the threat to the Geng Dimension Gate will increase. Therefore, this plan was launched a few months ago.
But only a few of us level five ability users know about it, because alien races can also plant spies among humans, so we can't let them know any news.
The reason for notifying you now is because the time is approaching.
So, are you ready to be a hero?
After listening to the Wyrmwalk Plan, Qi Jing sorted it out in his mind.
It's just luring a level six behemoth here to crush the alien races. It's very simple and clear.
In addition to 'Pretty Boy' Yu Ding's actions, the only thing to pay attention to is the person who takes the bait.
'Rogue' is not here, so it's just right for me to come.
He looked at the city gate not far away and asked:
"What about Qingyun City? Will it be destroyed too?"
"No, no, no, I will use my ability to move the entire Qingyun Mountain away."
In the past two years, Qingyun City has not expanded outward, only staying on this mountain. In addition to preventing alien invasions, it is also so that it can be moved more easily at this moment.
Under Xiao Fifteen's smiling gaze, Qi Jing asked:
"How fast does the Wyrmwalk move? Can I outrun it?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I will have the Carefree Sword carry you, and you will fly as fast as I can carry you. The Wyrmwalk will definitely not be able to eat you. Even if it does, you can use the Return Talisman to run away, right?"
"Understood. When will it happen?"
"In a week at the earliest, and a month at the latest, depending entirely on Brother Yu's news."
