He looked at the talking, wiggling worm trying to bargain with him. He sighed before speaking, ''What did you want?''
''Food and safety from the hunters,'' the Desert worm asked. ''We are hunted for what we can produce, and my kin suffer as they kill us for our bodies.''
Archer nodded before revealing, ''I can offer you this desert and everything within it, any food you want, and never-ending safety to the point you will get bored.''
When the worm heard this, it lunged toward Archer and wrapped around his body, causing Mary to giggle at the scene. He turned to the older woman while the creature gently squeezed him, ''Mary! What is this thing doing?''
''That is the Desert Worms handshake, Arch,'' she revealed.
After getting his answer, Archer pulled the giant worm off him and asked for some red silk because he had never seen it. The creature nodded its large head before convulsing until a red ball flew out of its mouth.
