The ghost worm of Leon mingled with the black worms and moved in a line.The squishy and slimy dark bodies wriggled as they traveled through the narrow underground tunnel. The passage was tight, forcing them to squeeze and wiggle through the dirt. The soil clung to their shiny skin, making the air damp and heavy.
As they went deeper, the tunnel began to slope downward. The worms followed the warmth that seemed to guide them below as temperature started to rise slowly. The passage became smoother and more consistent, hinting at a larger space ahead.
After a long time of crawling, the tunnel opened into a huge cave. The black worms poured into the vast space, stretching out and exploring. The cave was dimly lit by a soft glow from the walls and ceiling. Stalactites hang down, and the ground was covered with sparkling crystals.
