Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

A loud "thud!" echoed from inside the stone wall, causing cracks to appear throughout the wall.

Zhou Wen knew that the stone foundation and walls wouldn't last long, and the space above the cube was empty. Once the giant worm reacted, it could burst out with its 20-meter body.

The opportunity was too good to pass up, so Zhou Wen used all the stones Jiang Haitao had sent to make stone pillars.

Hundreds of stone pillars fell from above the cube and smashed onto the giant worm inside the cube. The giant worm began to twist its body frantically, trying to break free of the cube, but more and more stone pillars pressed down on it, and soon the cube was filled with stone pillars.

With no room to move, the giant worm could no longer twist its body, gradually fell silent, and was completely submerged by the stone pier.

"Alright, but what should we do next?" This plan only temporarily trapped the giant worm, giving Zhou Wen a chance to catch his breath, but his task this time was to clear out all the parasites, otherwise he would not be able to leave at all.

In other words, he had to kill the giant worm, but the iron sword couldn't even pierce his skin, let alone harm the giant worm.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and looked toward the iron ore mine, where the digestion pool was located. If he could get the giant worm to fall into the digestion pool, he might be able to kill it.

However, the digestive pool was blocked by the iron ore mine before, but fortunately, when the giant worm came out just now, it had already destroyed most of the iron ore mine, and now he only needs to clean it up.

There was a lot of iron ore in the crushed rock of the iron mine. Zhou Wen simply packed it up in the supply box. When he encountered large rocks that he couldn't move, he would build stone blocks high in the air to crush the large rocks.

After clearing the area for a while, Zhou Wen entered the iron mine and saw a square supply box.

"A gold-rimmed supply box!" Zhou Wen's expression brightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to open it, when suddenly a dark, indistinct thing rushed towards him.

Zhou Wen was startled and quickly dodged. He wasn't wearing any spiked armor to protect him, and if he were bitten by this unknown creature, he would definitely be injured.

After dodging the attack, Zhou Wen could see the appearance of the dark creature. It looked just like the giant worm, only much smaller, only five or six centimeters thick.

"This must be the child of that giant worm, right?" Zhou Wen raised his iron broadsword, ready to kill it with a single blow. If he couldn't handle the big one, the small one should be no problem.

However, just as the blade was about to fall, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment. He wanted to check the creature's information in the encyclopedia so that he could find some weaknesses and increase his chances of winning.

So he asked Jiang Haitao to send him a pair of spiked gloves. After putting on the gloves, he caught the little worm and touched it. The little worm was quite temperamental and kept wriggling its body, trying to bite him.

Zhou Wen then opened the biological encyclopedia to view the basic information about the giant worm.

【Steel Worm】

Body length: 20 meters

Weight: 230 tons

Food type: Iron ore

Description: A worm that lives in symbiosis with Leviathan. It can produce steel by consuming iron ore. The steel is put into the digestive tank, which allows Leviathan to obtain steel elements and grow bone steel scales and bone steel teeth. The steel skin can be used to make equipment.

"Uh... symbiosis? Is this considered a parasite?" After reading the basic information about the Steel Worm, Zhou Wen realized he was wrong; the Steel Worm was not a parasite at all.

Zhou Wen threw away the juvenile steel worm in his hand. Since the steel worm was not a parasite, he only had a ten-meter-long solar coccidia to deal with. After that, he should be able to go back. There was no need to fight the adult steel worm at all.

"Boom! Boom!"

Zhou Wen was preparing to open the gold-rimmed supply box, take all the items from it, kill the ten-meter-long Sunbeam, and then he could leave.

But at that moment, the cubic space that trapped the steel worm began to shake violently, and the stone walls began to crack inch by inch under the vibration.

"Roar!"

An extremely angry roar came from the cube space. The next second, the cube space, which was filled with a large number of stone blocks, exploded. The body of the steel worm spun wildly, like a spinning ribbon, sweeping away all the stone blocks.

Then it leaped out of the shattered cube space and rushed towards Zhou Wen at an extremely fast speed, much faster than before, as if it had entered a berserk state.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Wen picked up the gold-rimmed supply box and ran out of the iron mine.

As soon as Zhou Wen ran out of the iron mine, he felt a darkness descend upon him. Looking up, he saw a metallic body crashing down on him.

Zhou Wen immediately allocated his free points to speed again, reacted quickly, and dodged the attack. However, the steel worm's attack did not end there. It twisted its body again and swept towards Zhou Wen.

Just like before, Zhou Wen once again leaped to dodge the sweeping attack of the steel worm's body. However, to his surprise, the steel worm suddenly began to spin wildly, just like it had when it burst out of the cube space earlier.

Just as Zhou Wen had dodged the first sweep, the steel worm twisted its body back again, followed by another sweep. The interval was only a few seconds. As soon as Zhou Wen landed, the sweeping body was already in front of him.

He doesn't even have any protective gear right now. If he gets hit, all the bones in his body will probably be shattered.

With a thought, a 3x3 stone wall appeared in front of him.

"Bang!" The steel worm's sweeping body crashed into the stone wall, shattering it, and then slammed heavily into Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was like the stone block that had been flung away by the steel worm, spinning in the air for more than ten meters before crashing to the ground.

The suffocating pain spread throughout his body. Zhou Wen opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound for a long time. The moment he was hit, he felt as if his soul had been knocked out, and he felt as if he had been hit by a truck.

Zhou Wen paused on the ground for a few seconds, then forcibly controlled his body and got up. At the moment he was hit, he increased his physique to 23, barely managing not to faint.

"Cough cough cough! Pfft~."

As soon as he got up, Zhou Wen coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. The next second, he felt dizzy and weak all over. He knew that there was something wrong with his internal organs.

But the steel worm wouldn't give him time to recover; it had already charged at him with its gaping maw.

Zhou Wen immediately bit open the bandage on his left wrist, swallowed the Boiling Blood Coral Powder, and the next second, his blood flowed faster, his skin turned slightly red, a surge of power emerged, and his body was able to move again.

With a sidestep, he dodged the steel worm's attack once again, then turned and ran towards the esophagus.

Since the cubic space formed by the stone foundation cannot trap the steel worm, we can use the esophagus of the steel-armored Leviathan. As long as there are enough stone blocks, the steel worm can be trapped as well.

Just as Zhou Wen was about to enter his esophagus, he suddenly staggered, his throat tasted sweet and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Blood also began to flow uncontrollably from his nasal cavity. His body had reached its limit.

Behind Zhou Wen, a huge mouth, taller than himself, enveloped him, and the world plunged into darkness in the next moment.

"Crack! Crack!" The sound of flesh and bone breaking came from the mouth of the steel worm, and scarlet blood was scattered all over the ground.
