The villagers' combat capabilities soared after they transformed into worms. Their back armor, in particular, was incredibly tough. Even Ye Xiao's ice sword struggled to cut through it, leaving only deep slash marks behind.
While Bai Xi and Ye Xiao dealt with the villagers, the giant worm shifted its massive, bloated body and slowly crawled onto the altar. It positioned itself beneath the gray orb in the center of the platform and slowly levitated as streaks of white light flowed across the surface.
Bai Xi had guessed wrong. The altar wasn't prepared for them; it was meant for this giant worm.
Suddenly, with a heavy THUD, the giant worm plummeted, smashing a large crater into the altar. "What's going on?" it roared furiously. "Not a single one has a Talent! You pieces of trash don't even have a single Talent among you! You deserve to be stuck in the lower dimensions forever!"
