From the time the vanguard team encountered the Scythe Worm until now, they had been relying on all sorts of obstacles to chase the Scythe Worm for more than 10 hours in the third floor of the base. From the initial encounter with the nest in the main passageway to the other places inside the base, the vanguard team had already deviated from their original position by almost a kilometer.

The route the vanguard team had taken was littered with the corpses of numerous scythes and larvae, as well as the corpses of a few of the team members. This was an extremely brutal battle, and the troops were under tremendous pressure all the time. Fortunately, Anthony had the ability to scan the area, which allowed him to see through the Scythe Worm’s attack routes first and also allowed him to find a place to hide for the team to rest for a short period of time. Otherwise, the vanguard team would have been wiped out long ago.

Now, the ammunition they had tried to keep from the beginning was nearly exhausted. From the original five people in the team, only Anthony and Lucca remained. The intense battle caused the number of team members to decrease. Amongst the team members who died, the one who died was Orloff, who died the most miserably.

Anthony was unable to forget the scene of the tall figure being surrounded by a swarm of bugs. In the end, he brazenly detonated the high-energy grenade, allowing himself and the hundreds of bugs to perish together.

At this point, Anthony’s spirit was like a tight string that could be snapped at any moment. As for Lucca’s broken sword, it was now only left with half of it. If the scythe insect were to attack a little more, the two of them would become the worm’s food in their stomachs without any suspense. However, at such a critical moment, the Scythe Bug actually retreated, with a hint of escaping.

The entire base was gently shaking, as if there was an earthquake happening below. Anthony frowned, using his remaining spiritual power to scan the area. However, he would compress the scanning method from the surface into a line. By doing so, his psychic power would become a thread even thinner than a needle, which would have a high penetrating power. Anthony directed his spiritual force directly into the ground in such a way as to sense what was happening underground.

Naturally, this method of scanning was not as detailed as the normal method. Anthony was unable to ‘see’ the specific details, and could only roughly sense some blurry light figures.

When the spirit threads penetrated through the following four levels of bases and entered the fifth level directly, Anthony saw a blurry shadow as well as two balls of resplendent energy rays. It was just a simple touch, but the end of the spirit threads immediately cracked and shattered. Anthony turned pale with fright. If all his mental threads were shattered, he would turn into a madman.
