With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 558 Inheritance (21)

The elders looked at Lin Fan with a strange look when they heard this.

One of them suddenly asked, "Sect master, is something wrong?"

Lin Fan was pulled back from his thoughts when he heard this and he shook his head as he said, "No, there's nothing wrong."

But he knitted his brows after his voice fell.

It was almost as if he was struggling to say something.

When the elders saw this, they all knew what was happening with him, but they just waited for him to speak.

If Lin Fan was struggling to say something, it was most likely because he was thinking about how to say it.

But of course, it wasn't as if they had the time to just stand still and wait. 

There were still those sandworms that were coming at them.

They couldn't just keep them away forever with the barriers, they would have to eventually do something about these sandworms.

Lin Fan also knew this, so he said with a sigh, "I have a way to defeat them."

When they heard this, the eyes of the elders lit up.

They knew that they were right to trust Lin Fan on this matter. They had been waiting for him to say this.

So all of them focused on Lin Fan as they waited for him to tell them what his plan was.

Lin Fan gave another sigh before saying, "The way to defeat these sandworms is…to stab them in a certain tiny point under their abdomen. That will cause the explosive gas inside of them to deflate and make it impossible for them to explode."

The elders all looked at Lin Fan with strange looks when they heard this.

They thought that his method would be much more general, but for him to give such specific instruction really caught them off guard.

Not to mention, it seemed that there was still something missing.

Another one of the elders suddenly asked, "How big is the area that we can stab?"

Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile when he heard this and all of the hearts of the elders sank.

For him to reveal this bitter smile, it was clear that the answer wasn't going to be good.

"It's a one centimeter diameter hole. If it goes outside of that, it will explode like before."

All of the elders revealed bitter smiles when they heard this.

It was as they had expected, it really was as bad as they thought.

A one centimeter hole and it would explode if they missed…

Was this even possible?

With how many sandworms there were and how unpredictable they moved, it would be incredibly hard for them to take down these sandworms.

But there was something else that they suddenly thought of.

A one centimeter hole, with how small that was, how would they be able to find it on the body of the sandworm?

It wouldn't be easy to find on these moving sandworms.

So one of the elders asked this question.

This time, Lin Fan's expression didn't seem that bad as he said, "There's a mark on the underside of these worms that will mark the spot. It's the belly button of the sandworms."

The elders looked at the sandworms with strange looks and as Lin Fan had said, they found that there were indeed these marks on the underside of these sandworms.

It was a small circle that seemed to jut out, but it was so small that people wouldn't notice it normally.

After all, this was a sandworm that was more than a meter in length, a small centimeter wide mark really was hard to notice.

Since they had found the way to defeat the sandworms, there was no reason to hesitate anymore.

These sandworms were slamming themselves against the barriers of the elders and it didn't seem like they would stop. If the elders just let them do that, they would be the ones that suffered since it drained their spiritual energy to keep these barriers up.

At the same time, they were being forced back more and more as more and more sandworms seem to appear.

If they didn't do something to thin out their numbers, it would be a matter of time before they were swarmed by these sandworms.

So the elders all decided to take action.

It wasn't all of the elders that suddenly dropped their barriers. It was only a few elders that suddenly dropped their barriers and ran out of the formation.

The other elders that still had their barriers up took the places of these elders and blocked the sandworms that tried to break through.

The elders that broke free of the formation focused on a few sandworms, surrounding them while drawing their weapons.

These sandworms turned away from the main group and focused on these elders who had surrounded them.

These sandworms didn't have any fear as they charged at these elders, but these elders quickly used their barriers to corral these sandworms. The sandworms were trapped in between the elders who had spread out around them.

There were two elders that didn't use their barriers to trap the sandworms. They had their weapons out as they moved around the sandworms, trying to find a way to stab them.

The sandworms didn't stay still as they kept smashing themselves against the barriers, making it hard for these elders to find their targets.

The targets were already small enough and with the sandworms moving violently like this, it really was hard to pin them down.

In the end, the elders had no choice but to push the sandworms in with their barriers.

They had to use a lot of spiritual energy to ensure that these barriers didn't break from the sandworms slamming on them, but they were able to corral the sandworms in the end.

Once these sandworms were trapped in a smaller area with less space to move, it was easier for the other elders to stab them.

They were able to find the area that Lin Fan had told them about and stabbed right into the mark.

This was a stab that used all of their power, so the sword came out the other side.

But they didn't dare let their swords remain the sandworms for long, so they quickly pulled their swords back and vigilantly looked at the sandworm.

These sandworms seemed to freeze after being stabbed like this and then…they started to shrink.

It was as if there was some kind of gas that was being released from this sandworm as they deflated like a balloon.

Seeing this, the elders let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Lin Fan had been right about these sandworms.

Without any hesitation, the two elders stabbed the rest of the sandworms and all of them deflated like balloons.

Once they took care of all of these sandworms, the elders that had been using their barriers to keep them in released those barriers.

They let out a sigh of relief when they released these barriers since it had been draining on their spiritual energy to keep them up. But they also didn't stay idle for long as they turned to the other sandworms around them.

Now that they had found a way to deal with these sandworms, they couldn't waste any time.

"SCREECH!"

All of a sudden, there was a screech that came from behind them.

The elders immediately turned in the direction of the screech to see what it was and they found that it was the sandworms that they had 'killed'.

These sandworms had suddenly started screeching like there was no tomorrow.

The elders wanted to stop them, but they didn't have time as they felt something coming from in front of them.

When they turned around, they found that there were even more sandworms coming at them.

The screeching from the sandworm on the ground had drawn the attention of the sandworms in front of them. These sandworms that had been focused on the main group were now racing at them with their jaws opened, showing their sharp teeth.

The elders all had grim looks on their faces when they saw these sandworms charging at them, but they didn't hesitate to run right at these sandworms.

The elders took an arrowhead formation so that they could charge right into the sandworms.

The two elders in front formed their barriers that kept the sandworms charging at them away. Then the rest of the elders maintained their barriers to the side so that the sandworms would go right past them without hurting them.

With this arrowhead formation, they were able to push right through the sandworms charging at them and reach the formation in the center.

The elders that were in the formation came forward with their barriers to cover these elders and they were able to make it back into the formation.

Only when they were inside did they let out a sigh of relief while panting to catch their breath.

All of the elders looked at the sandworms on the ground that the elders had killed.

These sandworms had stopped screeching by now.

It seemed that the screeching that they made was a defensive measure that they did when they died.

But just killing these few sandworms had taken that much effort…

How long would it be for them to take care of all of these sandworms?

Would their spiritual energy even last?

As they were feeling despair over their current situation, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Let me handle this."

After saying this, he came forward with water floating around him.
