Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the group saw Grimm and Nairo’s pale expressions, and how they had trouble catching their breaths, they knew something really bad had happened . There was no hesitation at all as they flew into the tunnel entrance that were at the top of their head .

“Holy mother, that scared me to death, wu…”

The Myna screamed out as it was perched on Grimm’s shoulder . It wiped its tears off with its wings . Amazingly, it didn’t fly back into the dimensional gap . Perhaps it was afraid that Leafie would laugh at it?

Whoosh!

Grimm and Nairo landed on the red-brownish hair on the back of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . Grimm shouted beneath his Mask of Truth,” Get away quickly!”

“Understood, Master Grimm . ”

The Thousand-eyed Carcinus collected its strength as it scurried into the tunnel with its eight crab-claws .

As they turned their backs, Grimm and Nairo watched terrifyingly as a pack of dense, blue dots of light converged into a cloud that covered the sky and was flying in their direction .

But as the Thousand-eyed Carcinus went further away from the Slush Burrow, Grimm breathed a sigh of relief . He said, “With those kinds of numbers, even a conventional Bright Sorcerer legion would suffer heavy casualties, much less a small team of ten Dark Sorcerers like ours . ”

“Yeah . ”

Nairo nodded and responded . There was also an Ice Hornet that was about twenty centimeters in size that were chained up by Nairo . It was buzzing and struggling endlessly .

In a short while, the Thousand-eyed Carcinus caught up with the eight dark sorcerers that fled earlier . The group formed up again as they flew toward the burrow space above .

Grimm did not feel dejected by how his own team had abandoned him and fled before him .

It was the rules of engagement among the Dark Sorcerers .

The hive of Ice Hornets did not pursue further . After thirty over hourglasses, they passed through the tunnel and reached the first chamber that had yet to be explored by the Demon-hunting Sorcerers .

The ground was covered to the brim with Snowthread Worms . Although they weren’t as many as the Snowthread Burrow, it was much more than any of the other burrow spaces that Grimm and his team had seen .

There were creatures that seemed like jellyfishes from the Sorcerer World floating across the sky . Their sizes varied from centimeters to meters, glowing in a rare sight of gentle lights as their tentacles softly swayed .

It would be more appropriate to call them ‘Frost Jellyfish’ .

As the team lead, Grimm had to collect information regarding the lifeforms that were in the burrows . He then started recording the ecosystem of this burrow space in his crystal ball and started naming the burrows that he thought was of interest .

Obviously, the biggest feature in this burrow was the Frost Jellyfish .

Generally, in the burrows, creatures that emit light were like the roars of land animals . They were some kinds of warnings; or temptations like a rattlesnake’s tail .

The Frost Jellyfish were obviously not the temptation of a rattlesnake’s tail .

As if it had felt that the Frost Jellyfish were harmless, Little Myna burst into laughter . “Caw! Caw! Master, we could now have a change of taste in our dinner tonight!”

The Myna flapped its wing and flew toward a small Frost Jellyfish that was around twenty centimeters in size .

The Frost Jellyfish apparently sensed the approaching strange species that was Myna, and tried its best to glide away with its tentacles . It wanted to escape but its speed was no match to the myna . The myna started to circle around the Frost Jellyfish .

The rest of the Demon-Hunters too started to flock toward the Frost Jellyfish . They were hoping to collect some specimens for their research .

As if it had sensed that it could not get away from the Myna, the Frost Jellyfish shrank rapidly and turned into a semi-translucent frost ball . This made the myna even more curious .

“Caw! Caw! Master! It looks like riceball is on the menu today!”

The myna picked the balled-up Frost Jellyfish with its claw back to its master as if it was about to present him with the gift .

“Holy Mother!”

The myna felt something was wrong the moment it touched the Frost Jellyfish . It warped into the dimensional gap as it let out a scream .

A loud explosion followed . Huge spikes of ice flew in every direction .

The Frost Jellyfish self-destructed!

At the same time, all the Frost Jellyfish that were emitting faint glows of light within a hundred-meters’ range shrank as well . The demon-hunters’ expressions turned pale .

Grimm was quick to react as he shouted loudly, “Stay away from the Frost Jellyfish!”

The demon-hunting sorcerers who were about to collect their specimens were in shock and flew back hurriedly . Although the impact from the explosion set off by the Myna wasn’t that powerful, but that was from a tiny Frost Jellyfish .

There were countless huge Frost Jellyfish in the sky .

After a full half hourglass, the Frost Jellyfish returned back to their normal forms from their balled-up posture . Grimm breathed a sigh of relief . Beneath his Mask of Truth, his elemental eyes lit up . He said in a deep voice, “Thousand-eyed Carcinus, fly up slowly and look for an entranceway above . Don’t disturb these… umm… these explosive Frost Jellyfishes . ”

Grimm named the jellyfish that could self-destruct the explosive Frost Jellyfish .

“Understood, Master Grimm . ”

The Thousand-eyed Carcinus matched the speed of the escaping Frost Jellyfishes and flew up slowly . The Frost Jellyfishes glided away and caused no threat . This made the tense group of sorcerers breathed a sigh of relief .

There was a dimensional distortion on top of Grimm’s shoulder . The Myna made its appearance .

“Wu…master, these guys self-destruct, let’s not eat them . ”

Leafie the parrot scoffed in disdain . “Hmph, if you hadn’t provoked them, why would they self-destruct? You only know how to get into trouble and drag Demon-Hunter Grimm with you . ”

Grimm said nothing . He ordered the Thousand-eyed Carcinus to get them through the Frost Jellyfishes as they searched for a possible entrance on top of the boulder ceiling .

But since the Frost Jellyfishes were too slow to move away, the search wasn’t effective .

After five hourglasses .

At an entranceway that was around sixty meters in width, Grimm quietly shook his head and said, “Let’s keep searching . ”

A week later .

After giving up on two other relatively narrow entranceway, Grimm and the team finally found a huge entranceway that spanned two hundred meters .

“Look there!”

The Myna pointed at a direction where a thirty-meter huge explosive Frost Jellyfish appeared behind thousands of other light-emitting Frost Jellyfish .

The group drew a breath of cold air!

If that monster of a creature were to self-destruct…

After some pondering, Grimm said in a deep voice,” You guys stay here, I’ll go and collect a few specimens and give the burrow a name . ”

As he finished his words, a layer of ice crystal emerged from Grimm’s body slowly . He blinked and froze up a twenty-centimeter Frost Jellyfish before it was able to shrink and self-destruct into a huge ice cube .

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief . He then spoke softly into the crystal ball, “The Frost Jellyfish Burrow . ”

Grimm and the team continued on their journey on the Thousand-eyed Carcinus after that . They went toward the next burrow…

Two months later .

“Master, are they mating? That’s disgusting!”

The Myna was perched on top of Grimm’s shoulder . The group was looking down from the top of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . There were hundreds of Frost Pythons that were tens of meters in length warped together like a huge snowball as they rolled continuously .

Grimm calmly explained,” This is merely a part of the evolutionary principle of the world’s creatures, a phenomenon of the boundless, arcane truth of the world . ”

These Frost Pythons were extremely powerful, the hardness of their scales were absolutely astounding . They were highly ferocious .

Because they had been living in the burrow for a long time, the Frost Python did not have the ability to fly, yet they’ve evolved to be able to climb perfectly .

But it seemed like it was the mating season for these Frost Pythons . Grimm’s team was able to get away from the Frost Python’s likely ambush .

With the elemental lights, Grimm looked into the distance . There were still a few Frost Pythons that had wrapped into balls within the range of his elemental lights in the burrow .

Grimm spoke into the crystal ball in a deep voice . “The Frostscale Python Burrow . ”

The team continued their journey upward with the Thousand-eyed Carcinus .

Six months later .

It was a small space . The area wasn’t very wide, and the ecosystem was very simple .

Grimm merely made some notes in his crystal ball . He didn’t even give it a name .

In recent months, the burrows they’ve been to merely grew weaker . With the Thousand-eyed Carcinus at their side, Grimm and his team were the apex of these burrows’ food chain . No creature in the burrows could present any threat toward the team, and thus their mission went on smoothly .

However, it wasn’t like their search down into the heart of the Burrow World from the Superficial Tundra .

In each passageway that contained the Acraepoid remains, there would be a most secure path . What the Demon-hunting Sorcerers needed to do was to find the largest entryways in each of the burrows .

However, the only entryway at this unnamed burrow was slightly disturbing to the group of Demon-hunting Sorcerers present .

Not even sixty-meters wide?
