Lair of Bronze Earthworm

Zynx continued absorbing poison until he could not get any benefit from this quality of poison.

He decided to leave this tunnel and come back, after fulfilling the condition.

When he was near the door, he looked at the door frame, which was not damaged even after the long time of corrosion from poison.

He knew this was good material. He wanted to have it, but right now he could only store object, of size 3-meter cubes in his body.

He would come back after increasing the size of his storage capacity, to store all 7 door frame.

When he got out from the final door to the tunnel, he saw poison surrounding him, like before.

If he concentrated little, then he could absorb all the poison, but he didn't want other, enter inside it, losing the metallic door from before.

After some time of slithering, he walked out from the poisonous fog. He didn't find any other creature inside poison fog, so it didn't take him much time.

He then went toward the direction of the mountain. There was a lot of small monsters there. He wanted to get outside of this 'death canyon 12' region, and could also level up in the path.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the top of the mountain, 6 figures are standing. One of them was wearing a robe with some kind of talisman printed on it, and staff in his hand. His body also contained ornament like gold earring, gold ring in 3 of his finger. He looked like a wizard from a decent family.

5 people were around him, 3 of them was wearing leather armor and 2 were with normal clothes.

Among 3 of them, one of them was holding shield and sword and walking alongside the old man and young boy, wearing normal clothes, who looked like a knight.

At the back of the group, there was one holding bow, who looked like archer and other one holding spear looked like spear user.

The magician was standing between these row of people.

He looked towards the black cloud below the mountain and asked the person wearing normal clothes.

"Hari, are you sure, it is down here?"

"Yes, when we were resting in death canyon, we saw it fighting with skeleton soldier." He replied respectfully.

"If I found, that you are lying then I will kill you alongside your son."

Then he looked at the youth beside the old man.

His group had been traveling, for 3 days to reach here. He would be mad if he couldn't get what he wanted.

"I don't dare."

...

People who could not reach level 1/Earth realm, before the age of 15, would find hard to level up because experienced point required after 15 would be 2 times, 10 times for above age 20.

With the increase in age, the requirement of experience point would increase alongside. Experience required by 21 years one was 20 times and experience point required by above 30 years was 100 times which was impossible to obtain.

When he was young, He didn't care about experience point, losing the golden chance of leveling up. Now, his age was already at 35 and only had 1 son as a family.

He didn't want his son to miss the chance of gaining experience point and became like him, so he often took his son out of the village, for hunting, from the age of 7.

At first, his son could not fight because of fear, so he would cripple the animal and used his son hand to kill it.

But along with time, his son knew, how important it was, to be powerful. So, his son started to work hard.

With the help of his mortal father, his experience point had already reached up to 80% at the age of 12.

He decided to fight one versus one with the monster, but there was no suitable monster in the mountain.

He and his father decided to enter death canyon.

They prepare supplied from a nearby village, and through the teleportation portal, in the top of the mountain, they went inside the death canyon.

Half a month after that, his son experience point reached 85%.

One night, when they were taking rest, they heard some noise. When they went toward the place with noise, they saw variation monster fighting with skeleton soldier. This monster was quite powerful, as it alone defeated more than 2 skeleton soldiers.

Following morning, they went toward another direction as they didn't want to meet that monster again.

After his son experience reached 88%, they decided to return to the village, to refill their supplies.

After returning, they found a mission in the mercenary guild.

Son of the village chief was searching for the monster, which they had seen before a week.

Anyone with the news of this monster could get a bounty on it. They decided to tell him about this monster. Their background was poor, so they didn't reject any amount of money.

But this son of chief didn't believe them and threatened them to take him to the monster otherwise he would kill them.

Without any choice, they agreed with it.

.....

This group of people then reached the top of the mountain where the teleportation portal is located.

Each one of them took out token and stand inside the teleportation circle.

After 30 sec, white light enveloped all of them, teleporting them to the death canyon.

----------------------------------------------------------

While Zynx, was traveling in the direction of the mountain, he found the lair of bronze earthworm inside the swamp. There was a total of 12 bronze earthworms playing around, but they were smaller than the one, he killed before.

He had not collected 10 parchments of bronze earthworm, so he could not view their stat. But by looking at their size, they should be a young earthworm, and he defeated adult one.

Zynx could defeat them if it was one versus one, but with many versus one, he wasn't sure.

He had never fought directly, so he was not sure of his strength and the strength of this bronze earthworm.

He decided to separate them and killed them one by one, but he should hurry before their parents return.

Zynx then used his skill camouflage, to hide from this young earthworm. He was far from them, and with camouflage, they could not see him.

When he was thinking a way to separate them, he saw Bronze earthworm, larger than the one he killed, was slithering towards young one.

'It seems, I have to wait until, adult bronze earthworm, go out.'
