Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 177: Chapter 158: Golden Sandworm Eggs

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Taking a deep breath, Richard suppressed the excitement in his heart.

After the Concealment Power covered his entire body, his sight and perception starkly disappeared. And even his breathing was covered.

He was not afraid of being discovered.

He carefully sensed and extended his perception to the extreme…

After repeated investigations, he confirmed the entire lair was in an empty state with no one guarding it.

The only enemies were the sandworm larvae hidden in the sand and were more than ten meters long.

Although more than ten meters was a huge size for an ordinary person.

For an adult sandworm that was more than 30 meters in diameter, these larvae could not fight.

He slowly controlled the sand to descend.

When he got closer, he could sense the appearance of the sandworm.

The skin of the sandworm was countless times tougher than a cow’s. And it was very smooth, so it would not be too much of a hindrance to moving through the sand.

Its head had no eyes, only a huge mouth that could open like a flower petal.

Although it was still a larva, the sharp teeth in its mouth had already taken shape.

Its spiral-shaped layout was like a crusher, and even the hardest rock would turn into pieces of sand after being crushed in circles.

Behind its mouth were two colossal, ear-like organs.

When it moved through the sand, the sand swallowed by the mouth would flow out from these two organs.

The organs of the sandworm had evolved to move through the earth.

He opened the attribute panel.

[Sandworm Larvae]

[Level: 10]

[Status: Larva]

[Description: When the body grows to 30 meters, it will enter the growth stage. Eighty meters will be the adult stage. 100 meters and above will be the prime stage.]

The larvae are all level 10… Awesome.

Perhaps, their potential and skills are all blanks because they have yet to mature.

‘Kacha!’

‘Kacha!

At this moment, one of the sandworm larvae touched a huge rock that was five to six meters tall on the ground in a daze. The muscles in the other party’s mouth suddenly expanded, and his colossal mouth expanded to more than ten meters.

It bit down on the prodigious rock with one bite.

Then, its millstone-like teeth began to creak.

The other party’s bulging mouth squirmed and quickly shrank…

Then, gravel spewed out from the hole behind the huge mouth…

Richard was a little envious.

“This thing is a little ugly, but they’re all high-level soldiers.

“If we can raise a few of them, they’ll be helpful in Twilight City…

“Once the enemy attacks from the ground, they’ll be completely exposed to the giant mouths of the sandworms. It’ll be like delivering vegetables.”

Moreover, the desert was the main battlefield for these monsters. Their environment was intensely compatible with Twilight City.

He was a little tempted…

He did not alarm the larvae still lying in the sand. He slowly controlled the sand to begin exploring the underground space.

As he sensed carefully, the area where the sandworm larvae gathered immediately attracted Richard’s attention.

Behind the sandworm larvae, there was a colossal tunnel. Three two-meter-long sandworms covered in mucus crawled out of it…

Was it the sandworm breeding area?

Richard’s eyes lit up.

After strengthening his Concealment Power, he flew into the tunnel from the top.

Every moment was an extension of his perception. His observation of the surrounding environment was even more distinct than when he was on the ground.

He suddenly sensed a different aura after he flew for dozens of meters.

Excitement rose in his heart.

His speed suddenly increased.

After a few breaths, his perception suddenly widened.

A huge underground space filled with fine sand appeared in front of him, with a diameter of more than 300 meters.

What made him breathe faster was that several sandworm eggs were in the fine sand.

Based on his rough perception, there were at least thousands of them.

“Hahaha! Great harvest, great harvest!!

“This wave is going to be rich!!”

However, Richard, who had just smiled, suddenly stiffened.

After carefully sensing, he found most of the eggs had no signs of life.

Some eggshells had even weathered away, and only a few eggs still had signs of life.

It was pronouncedly the breeding ground of the sandworms for God knows how many years.

Most of the eggs were left behind from before.

His heart instantly ached.

“I feel like I’ve lost 100 million.

“If these sandworm eggs were good, I could directly build a huge army of sandworms…”

It was a high-level battle ability that surpassed level 15 in adulthood.

What a pity.

Richard focused his attention on the eggs that still showed signs of life.

“1,2,3…10,11,12…? That’s it?!”

“Out of thousands of eggs, only 12 can hatch?”

But before he could count it again…

‘Kacha! Kacha!’

Two crisp sounds rang out in succession.

Two eggs cracked, and the sandworm larvae broke out of their shells.

The other party quickly swallowed the shells and then left the tunnel in a daze.

“10…..”

The corner of Richard’s mouth twitched.

He had lost two more troops… These hatched eggs were not easy to take away. Moreover, he did not know how to subdue them. If the other party resisted and attracted the attention of the sandworms, it would be a pain in the ass.

Calling for parents was the specialty of the larvae.

Without hesitation, he quickly found the eggs that still showed signs of life and controlled the gravel to take them out.

These eggs were one head taller than a human. They were not easy to carry and might break if not handled properly.

Richard thought for a while and decided to use the sand to form a vast chrysalis. Just like wrapping the third princess, it firmly protected the eggs inside.

Ten huge eggs flew in the air, which looked rather strange.

“Fortunately, I’ve changed my class to become a mage. If I were a warrior, it would be pretty good if I could carry away one or two of these things.”

After Richard looted everything, he turned around and prepared to leave this troublesome place.

When those sandworms returned, they would go crazy.

However, to prevent missing any eggs, his perception continued to extend.

His body emitted a thick yellow sand glow.

The sand within a few hundred meters became a part of him at this moment.

After he searched three times, just as he was about to leave, a slight fluctuation appeared.

Um? No, there was an intensely weak aura here.

His senses immediately gathered in that direction.

That aura had mysteriously disappeared again.

He was unwilling to give up. His senses went deep into the earth and turned that area upside down.

Finally, he found that aura under a few weathered eggs.

The other side was buried deep in the sand.

He might not have noticed it if it wasn’t for his focused senses.

He slowly flew to the sky above that area.

He waved his hand.

The sand surged.

The heavily weathered eggshell around them cracked.

A moment later, the sand surged like a spring, and a special sandworm egg slowly floated to the ground.

This egg was a size smaller than the other eggs. The eggshell was a faint golden color, and there was a mysterious pattern on it, which was quite strange.

‘What is this?’

Richard felt that this thing seemed to be a good thing.

He opened the attribute panel with some curiosity.

[Ancient Sandworm Egg]

[Level: Unknown]

[Status: Life aura is weak]

[Description: Can Hatch ancient sandworms with great potential, but the weak life aura makes it lose the possibility of hatching.]

‘Ancient Sandworm Egg?’

From the name, it didn’t sound weak.

But the weak life force made him frown. He didn’t know how long this thing had been there, and the eggs on it had all weathered…

Richard couldn’t figure out the value of this egg without seeing its attributes.

As long as there was a chance to hatch it, it would be fine no matter what it was.

He kept it.

After Richard wrapped it in the sand, he didn’t delay any longer and immediately returned the way he came.

He quickly searched for the sandworm’s lair after he left the hatchery.

However, the sandworm was not a giant dragon. It did not have the hobby of collecting treasures and gold coins.

There was not even a corpse inside. He did not obtain any more rewards.

However, he was not disappointed. These 13 eggs had already filled his pockets with the sudden whim of exploring.

Although he had commanded tens of thousands of high-level soldiers in battles, no matter how sturdy the troop in the dungeon was, it was not his. It was just the plot.

He would not get lost because of this.

When he thought about how Twilight City would soon have more than ten giant troops 100 meters long after he left the dungeon, he felt excited.
