After they put down the metal box, a few army soldiers stood up straight . They saluted Director Chen before turning around to leave .

Once the army soldiers got into the elevator and left, Director Chen instructed, "Everyone come here and help . "

Several researchers pushed the box over in a rush . As they pushed the box they occasionally felt a sense of gus.h.i.+ng strength and force coming from within .

It was as if there was a tireless huge monster inside, constantly tackling the metal box .

Director Chen waved to the few people and said, "You should take two steps back first . "

The few people immediately retreated . Gao Peng hid in the laboratory and secretly observed from behind the gla.s.s door .

The sound of crawling came from the rock wall above Gao Peng . He was slightly familiar with that sort of sound because of the dense and intensive footsteps of Da Zi when it crawled . It sounded like countless fingers lightly tapping the wall, a clear and crisp sound .

The sound came closer .

Gao Peng raised his head, and above him was exposed rock . Only steel columns and steel mesh supported the s.p.a.ce .

A dark shadow dropped from above with great speed .

It was very still on the ground, as if it had fainted from the fall . Then after a while it got up and shook its head . It was a monster that resembled the millipede; however, its size was several times larger than a normal millipede .

[Requirements for Promotion to Epic Grade]: …

The Wide-toothed Iron Worm was at least 16 feet long . Four parts that looked like leaves formed its body, and every leaf-shaped body part had multiple sharp limbs . On its back was a green-yellow carapace filled with tree leaf patterns .

It seemed to have become confused in the fall . It stumbled twice in the same location and suddenly dashed towards Director Chen . It then sat on the ground like a spoiled child and rubbed its head on Director Chen .

Director Chen smiled and patted the head of his familiar . "Go and open that metal box . In the meantime, you can also make the monster inside it yield . "

The Wide-toothed Iron Worm nodded and crawled towards the metal box . Next, its entire body was on top . It lowered its head and began gnawing away at the metal, producing a grating, grinding sound . Hard steel only served as its food .

It did not take long before a large hole was created, and the Wide-toothed Iron Worm continued chewing at the metal box through the big hole .

A stream of yellow quicksand flowed out of the gaping hole secretly . It was soft and boneless, like jelly .

Just as it was about to get out, the Wide-toothed Iron Worm that sat silently on the metal box swung its tail, hitting the quicksand and putting it back in the box with a plop .

After a while, as it believed that the Wide-toothed Iron Worm had not discovered it, the quicksand changed direction and attempted to escape from there .

The Wide-toothed Iron Worm seemed a little impatient by now . It stopped moving and turned around . It half-stood like a cobra would and peered down to look at the monster beneath it .

It was only then that Gao Peng could clearly see the appearance of the sand monster .

It was a tiny monster five feet tall . It had a round head and was a little fat and was made of sand, but did not fall apart . It looked like a layer of fine sand was spread across the surface of a jelly .

The sand monster was a little muddled . It squirmed and continued to retreat and in the end, leaned towards the outer wall of the metal box .

Then it just stared blankly at the big boss while it ate metal .

The sand monster attempted to use its hands to touch the iron sheet, and then discovered that its hands were not as tough as iron .

Finally, after half the metal box was eaten, the Wide-toothed Iron Worm was full . Satisfied, it patted the sand monster with its tail to signal for it to follow .

The tiny sand monster had strong survival instincts . It quickly followed in the Wide-toothed Iron Worm's footsteps, as it feared that the big boss would treat it as dessert and devour it in one bite if it was in a bad mood .

"This evolved from a millipede?" Gao Peng asked, a little stunned by the Wide-toothed Iron Worm .

Immediately after, he noticed that this was improper and immediately apologized to Director Chen . One did not simply let others know evolution information like this, normally .

"Yes, it evolved from a millipede," Director Chen answered with a smile . He touched the head of the Wide-toothed Iron Worm as it got closer . "Before the Cataclysm I studied biology, and coincidentally, I was conducting research on millipedes . I never could have imagined our fates would be tied together after the Cataclysm . "

Although it was only level five, if there were no familiar at the scene, the tiny sand monster alone would have been enough to defeat everyone in the laboratory .

As such, n.o.body became complacent . They first placed the tiny sand monster on the experimental bench before locking its body in place with iron locks . Only then did they turn around to grab the experimental knives and tools from the toolkit bench .

After a while, it seemed like the tiny sand monster found everything fun and interesting, as it slowly slid out-and-in of the iron lock like a piece of jelly .

Suddenly researchers gathered into a group, and all of them looked at the tiny sand monster with an indifferent gaze .

It seems like you think that this is pretty fun, huh? they thought .

"It's like this sand monster doesn't have any bones," Little w.a.n.g said with a furrowed brow and sighed . "Moreover, it's not cooperating to let us experiment on it .

"But the interesting thing is that this sand monster hasn't shown us any strong hostility . It is as if it doesn't have a very strong desire to attack . It's also uncertain whether this is a good thing . Perhaps we can deduce from its personality that the Desert Ruler also has a good temper?"

Another researcher touched the frame of his gla.s.ses and said in a suspicious tone, "Perhaps this creature type is not aggressive in nature?"

"Don't be so willful . It is impossible to determine the habits and characteristics of an entire species with just one specimen alone," Director Chen scolded them with a frown .

"Don't be so willful . It is impossible to determine the habits and characteristics of an entire species with just one specimen alone," Director Chen scolded them with a frown .

"Continue testing . "

This time, Director Chen brought the Wide-toothed Iron Worm over . The restless tiny sand monster finally quieted down .

. . .

"Miraculous . Truly miraculous," a researcher mumbled to himself . In his hand was a pile of sand that moved around on its own .

The pile of sand was taken from the body of the sand monster, and it constantly struggled in his palm as if it had a life of its own . Upon contact, it had the coa.r.s.eness of sand . The sand seemed to be one singular being, stuck together by a magnetic force .

The only thing was that the pile of sand did not have an active consciousness . Its movement was simply instinct .

Later, the researcher put the pile of sand on the surface of the sand monster . In a moment the surface of the skin sank in and and devoured the pile of sand . It also took the researcher's hand with it .

The researcher's expression changed as he attempted to pull his hand out, but a horrifyingly strong suction force made it so that he did not even have the strength to struggle .

The sounds flowing sand came from beside his ear .

The Wide-toothed Iron Worm made a low sound as a sign of warning . The sound of moving sand suddenly vanished, and along with it, the suction force . He immediately raised his right hand and looked at the sand monster on the experimental bench with lingering fear .
