Chapter 1128: Chapter 509 Truth and Compatibility!_2

Stone glanced at the void, and saw lines of faintly glowing text hovering motionlessly:

“You are currently AFK.”

“AFK in progress.”

“AFKing…”

Not good.

Although going AFK can indeed avoid danger, I can’t be a stone forever!

Must quickly think of a way!

While Stone was silently pondering, the Copper Man was looking around and tapped the ground urgently.

—Something is coming!

Stone immediately used the “Encounter at the Jade Terrace Under the Moon Skill System” to collect the cat, the dog, and the Copper Man into his Dharma Aspect.

The mining area suddenly fell silent.

After a few more breaths.

A black shadow swiftly flew in from the other end of the mine tunnel.

This was an existence Stone had never seen before.

It was as tall as a person, about thirty meters long, somewhat like a giant worm, but its back was covered with rows of bone peaks, and each bone peak held a human head that looked around as if searching for food.

Despite having so many human heads on its back, the worm itself had no eyes or nose on its head, only a large mouth full of sharp black teeth.

Lines of faintly glowing text appeared beside the monster:

“Soul-absorbing Bone-binding Demon Worm.”

“Truth Fourteenth Rank Creation.”

“Description: ???”

“—Its battle form is terrifying beyond compare, you definitely do not want to know.”

Th𝗂𝗌 ₡h𝒶p𝓉ℯr 𝑖ѕ p𝖔𝙨𝕥ℯ∂ b𝐲 𝙆𝖎ţ𝖾Ƞ𝕠νꬲ𝓁

Stone stared blankly, maintaining his absolute “AFK” state, making no further sound.

The monster climbed freely on the cave walls, occasionally stopping to flick its tongue.

The human heads on its back looked around.

Was it searching for food? Or something else?

Uncertain.

Only after seven or eight minutes did the monster slowly leave the area, crawling towards the left mine shaft.

Two or three more minutes passed.

Stone finally exhaled, muttering softly:

“That scared me to death.”

What to do next?

…Need to think of a solution, can’t face everyone 24 hours later as a stone.

Hello everyone.

I am Duke Stone.

I am AFKing.

If you’re my brother, come hack me twice.

Stop!

Absolutely cannot be this way.

—Must find a solution!

Stone was just about to act when the void shifted, and lines of faintly glowing text appeared:

“A total of six people, teleported from the End of the World Castle.”

“Currently you are aware, no action taken.”

“3,”

“2,”

“1!”

“Teleportation successful.”

The power of space fluctuations gradually manifested.

Several people emerged from the darkness.

“Have we arrived?”

“Yes, we have.”

“This is the best opportunity, that ship won’t appear here — we can besiege him!”

“First, find him.”

“Tsk, all the wealth of the two Dukes, brothers, this is our one shot at glory.”

“That’s right!”

The group whispered.

The stone on the ground was startled.

They’re here to hunt me?

—In such a terrifying place?

Stone decided not to move, lying on the ground AFK, quietly observing the situation unfold.

Unexpectedly, those people said nothing further.

They were well-trained, brimming with momentum, swiftly arranged into a combat formation, heading towards the low and narrow right mine shaft.

In the mine pit, silence returned once more.

Darkness.

Dead stillness.

With things as they were, Stone could now leave to find a way to undo his form.

But Stone did not move.

Maybe three breaths, maybe five breaths —

Suddenly.

Stone unleashed a sword light tens of meters long, slashing it afar, creating a cataclysmic explosion of sound in the dark and silent mine tunnel.

BOOM!!!

The mine pit along with the mine tunnel was split open.

Yet, the force of this slash was just right, not causing the entire tunnel to collapse.

It merely resulted in a huge noise.

Stone, having delivered this slash, buried himself in the stone heap, as if unwilling to reappear in the world.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Amongst the clattering of falling stones —

The terrifying worm, tens of meters long, darted back, clinging tightly to the rock wall, its heads wildly swiveling, frantically searching for the source of the commotion.

The next moment.

It seemed to sense something, its Physique suddenly turned invisible, concealing its presence, and it became still.

On the other side of the tunnel.

The Destruction Servant squad hurried back.

“Was someone here just now?”

“Investigate.”

“Prepare for combat formation!”

Each person expertly coordinated.

But —

No matter how professional or powerful they were, it was already too late.

The Soul-absorbing Bone-binding Demon Worm descended from above, opening its jaws, swallowing the leading Destruction Servant in one gulp.

“It’s a monster!”

“Attack!”

“With all might!”

The remaining Destruction Servants unleashed their strongest Technique.

But not a single person’s Technique succeeded.

They were all frozen in place.

Truth suppression, a high Truth Fourteenth Rank!

Under such overwhelming suppression, the Destruction Servants were rendered incapable of action.

The Soul-absorbing Bone-binding Demon Worm slowly moved, squirming its body, approaching each Destruction Servant, then opening its mouth —

It consumed all of them.

It lingered for a while, until it found no more new food, then the Soul-absorbing Bone-binding Demon Worm reluctantly left.

A few minutes later.

A cat dog jumped out from the void, looking around, until it confirmed there was no danger present, then leapt onto the mine wall, running towards another direction away from the Soul-absorbing Bone-binding Demon Worm.

It remembered Stone’s admonition clearly:

“Go find another stone of the same kind — the one with the ‘AFK’ word on it.”

The mine tunnel fell silent once more.

But this calm was rapidly broken.

A small emblem jumped from the stone, making a sound:

“Duke, Duke?”

“I’m here,” Stone replied.

“How are things on your side?” Brenna cautiously asked.

“Pretty good, I’m seriously investigating whether there’s treasure here.” Stone cleared his throat, speaking in a deep voice.
