Chapter 19 - The Tunnel

Malorn was not the happiest of campers with this damn holy wall in the way. "Well then, I shall just dig deeper, I refuse to believe this wall extends till the core of the planet!" And away Malorn went, digging deeper and deeper till finally after he reached 100ft down the bottom of the wall was visible. Unfortunately he discovered that the dirt and rock down here was only slightly corrupted and he was feeling weak.

"I promise that if I ever find who put this wall down here, I will put them in a cage while dropping their family members in the pit while wolves tear them to pieces! Who the hell sticks this kind of wall here and down this deep?" And that's when he heard a slight rumbling. Turning his head, he looked at the wall of dirt behind him.

"Please tell me there aren't any undead moles or something. Please tell me there aren't." Unfortunately for Malorn, sometimes we don't get what we want. the ground around him suddenly started shaking violently. And a loud saw-like sound was coming closer. "Time to go and quick!" With that Malorn started climbing up the hole as quick as he could.

As soon as he was 10ft up the rest of the hole below suddenly exploded. Upon looking down, he saw what could only be described as a nightmare. It was a fucking worm! Except way bigger! And with that Malorn scrambled up the hole and out the tunnel, the process of which took about 10min. As he was going up and out the worm was on his trail, biting out large sections as he went up, A few times almost getting him.

As soon as he climbed out of the hole and ran away from it he looked back to see a monstrosity. A huge white worm that's at least 10 feet in diameter jump out of the ground and devour the hole he climbed out of. As the worm fell back to ground he checked out what he could. "System can you tell me what I'm looking at?"

[Holy Demonic Worm(young): A worm that lives in places of extreme negative energy during the time before adulthood. Primarily feeds on anything that is dead, such as undead and the dead. Recommended to stay above ground as they will only attack those under and their natural predator during younger stages will attack them above.]

"What about their length?" [During young period they're at least 30ft long and grow till adult hood reaching 5 miles long] "HOLY FUCK THAT"S A BIG WORM!" Malorn now in a slight state of shock suddenly had a dumb idea. "I wonder what kind of fish you could catch with that? But serious question, what kind of thing can prey on that even when it's young?"

[Death dragon, dark dragon, dark phoenix, Creeping Shadow, tier 4 undead, etc] And the system let down a long list that Malorn didn't feel like reading. "Ok, so tons of things think it's delicious, which ones of those are kind to intelligent undead and are beneficial for me to be near?" [System recommends the Death dragon or Creeping Shadow]
