Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Looking at the crisscrossing crystalline tunnels before me, the rock walls were covered with luminous crystals, making the tunnels appear dim and gloomy.

After looking around, Dylan said, "We should be in the middle level of the mother nest now, and we need to continue downwards."

"However, we don't need the Worms' help now. There should be a passage in this tunnel leading to the bottom layer where the Mother Worm is located."

At this point, Dylan looked at Blake with a solemn expression: "Blake, the success of this operation depends on you."

"If the other insects detect us before we encounter the mother insect, we'll have no choice but to go back to where we came from."

Blake nodded confidently: "President, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the movements of those worms, and I will alert you in advance if there are any abnormalities."

Dylan simply nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

After Dylan and his companion made all the necessary preparations, they carefully and slowly made their way through the tunnel filled with the corpses of the Worms.

As for the dying worm, Dylan and his companion ignored it and let it die.

As for its corpse, mixed in with the worm corpses that died in the tunnel from the impact of the alchemical bombs, it was so inconspicuous.

As time slowly passed, Dylan and his companion continued to explore and advance, delving deeper into the mother nest and approaching the deeper areas where the mother insect resided.

However, this process was not without its challenges.

Several times they were almost discovered by the soldier insects patrolling the mother hive, nearly ruining their efforts.

Fortunately, thanks to Blake's soul wizard abilities, the two of them were able to spot the worms before the worms each time, thus avoiding them.

Even if there is no way to avoid it, the two can conceal their figures in advance and control the vibrations so that the soldiers cannot detect them.

After some time, the light suddenly brightened before their eyes.

A hole emitting a blinding light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Dylan immediately strode toward the cave entrance, with Blake following closely behind.

At the end of the cave entrance, there is a giant, hollow, spherical crystal cave, with countless glittering crystal clusters hanging from the dome.

Around this spherical space, four humanoid crystal guardians vigilantly looked around.

In the center of them was a large, even obese, insect, several times the size of the crystal guardians.

This white-skinned, plump worm is unlike any other worm.

It had no human shape whatsoever; it was completely an insect, with white insect eggs constantly being squeezed out from its rear end.

These insect eggs are then carried to other places by the worker worms.

However, standing at the cave entrance, Dylan's attention was not on the crystal guardians, the mother worm, or the worker worms.

His gaze was now drawn to the pond in front of the mother insect, where silvery-white liquid flowed.

More precisely, all his attention was focused on the three fist-sized, milky-white crystals that were either sinking or floating in the pond.

Looking at the three crystals, Dylan's breathing became heavy, and he exhaled hot breaths continuously, his eyes flashing with fiery light.

Dylan wasn't the only one caught in this emotional state; Blake's reaction upon witnessing the scene was even stronger than Dylan's.

However, after taking a few deep breaths, the fervor in Dylan's eyes slowly dissipated, and he returned to calm.

He didn't speak, but gestured for Blake to step back.

Although Blake didn't understand what Dylan meant, he still followed Dylan's instructions and backed away from the cave entrance.

After retreating a distance to ensure they wouldn't be spotted by the worms, Dylan finally spoke.

"Blake, you must recognize that thing. I won't say anything more. I'll just give you one thing, and you must do it well!"

Upon hearing this, Blake's expression calmed down, and after slowly exhaling, he nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Dylan continued, "Later, I'll have Ivan attract the attention of those worms up there, helping me seize those three Origin Crystals."

"And you, I don't need you to join the fight or take action. I just need you to prepare for our retreat!"

"Once I succeed in capturing it, I must be able to retreat immediately, otherwise we will inevitably be surrounded by those insects!"

"And the consequences, I don't need to elaborate, you should already know. Can you handle it?!"

Blake patted his chest confidently: "President, I will definitely secure our escape route!"

Dylan: "I'm relieved to hear that. I'll be going now."

With that, Dylan walked back toward the cave entrance, leaving Blake alone in the tunnel to prepare.

On his way forward, he pressed a red button.

An electromagnetic signal emerged from the button, pierced upwards, and entered the rock wall.

The next moment, on the basin where most of the worms in the desert gathered, Ivan, who was standing on the platform, seemed to have received something. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then he began to laugh loudly.

Hundreds of meters away from him, Loris, standing on a three-person platform, keenly noticed Ivan's change.

He was taken aback at first, then as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and excitement welled up in his heart.

But the next moment, she suppressed her excitement, nodded to Ivan who was looking at her, and then leaped off the platform in a flash.

This scene made the eyelids of the surrounding wizard apprentices jump, including Ivan's.

The next moment, a red lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the surging waves of the Worms and quickly broke through their blockade, disappearing into the waves.

However, a path covered in blood and flesh appeared amidst the waves.

Although the passage healed quickly, the shock it caused lingered for a long time.

Ivan looked away, thinking to himself.

Now that Loris is gone, it's time to begin!

Ivan laughed loudly, "Activate the magic array to hold back these insects!!!"

At the same time, Ivan also slammed his palm onto the platform where he was standing.

The next moment, the platform suddenly began to shake violently, and guns and cannons fell onto the desert, revealing its original appearance.

The runes engraved on the platform continuously emitted light and detached from the platform, appearing in mid-air.

Ultimately, these runes formed a pillar of light that shot into the sky!

At the same time, a dozen or so beams of light suddenly rose from all around the basin, connecting the sky and the earth.

At the very moment the pillar of light appeared, two magic arrays, one above the other and one below, flashed with countless runes, appeared in the sky and above the desert.

From then on, this basin could be entered but not exited, and could be ascended but not descended!

Before the magic power of the magic array and the magic and mental power of the thirty-odd wizard apprentices are exhausted, not a single worm that has entered the basin will be able to escape!

This is why they dispersed around the basin, standing on the magic array platform, instead of gathering together to find or create a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
