Until he found it: a yellow living bridge that seemed to breathe spanning across a deep gallery.
On the other side, he could feel the vein pulsing with pure mana.
But there was just one problem.
A massive deep worm rested inside the bridge, its body occupying the entire space. The beast dozed, probably recovering after excavating new galleries.
Ren studied the situation. He couldn't use force, the slightest conflict would attract predators. Not that he had much force to use anyway...
He also couldn't make it explode like a lesser worm because this one had a real core.
He needed the worm to move of its own volition.
A pulse from his mushrooms showed him the surroundings, searching for nearby tunnels and threats.
'Fused worms are territorial,' he remembered while formulating a plan. 'And this one should be resting in its territory.'
Ren extracted the weaver's thread while studying the situation. He had no choice; he needed to cross.
He tied one end of the thread to a stalactite above the bridge that would serve as an anchor point, and if he calculated the distance correctly… ƒгeewebnovёl.com
With precise finger hits, he began generating vibrations in the ground.
Not just any pattern, but a specific one that mimicked an injured hunter bug.
The kind of prey a fused worm couldn't resist.
Practically no beast here could...
Hunter bugs were the pre-evolution of deep assassins; if a worm or beetle could take revenge on them, they would do so without hesitation.
That's why very few reached the surface, if they hadn't achieved evolution along the way…
The worm stirred in its sleep, disturbed by the vibrations of the intruder in what it considered its resting space.
The deep worm finally awoke, irritated.
The enormous beast moved almost immediately, its massive body turning toward the sound's source. Ren wrapped the thread around his hand, connected to a particularly robust stalactite to avoid it breaking.
The worm approached, each segment of its body pulsing with anticipation while searching for easy prey. Ren waited until the last moment, when the beast was fully committed to the search.
He pushed off from the ground, the thread tensing as his body swung over the bridge.
The worm detected that there was nothing at the movement's location, but it was too late, Ren was swinging above, his feet barely avoiding grazing the beast's enormous body.
He landed on the other side just as the worm realized it had been deceived.
But his landing generated a vibration.
The beast changed direction with surprising speed for its size, of course, it could transform its rear into its head…
It followed Ren, its entire body vibrating with irritation.
Ren didn't wait.
He ran toward the cave pulsing with the vein's light and reached an unexcavated tunnel section, where the hard rock would slow the worm.
Yet the beast followed, its massive body crushing and scraping rock and minerals in pursuit.
