Chapter 266 Explaining Everything About This Worm

His words made more sense. And for a moment there, no one questioned him again.

"To beat this monster, we can use the crude method you all spoke about. Yet saying this is the only way to handle this monster is wrong."

"Do you mean… You do know of another way to escape without sacrificing anyone? For real?!" Sara was shocked more than anyone else, even more than Ibra.

After all, she got a personal experience in the family with this type of monster, a personal vendetta to be more specific. And she knew more, more than what anyone else here knew, about this breed of monsters.

"Not only escape," William paused, taking in a deep breath before adding, "if you all did exactly what I'm going to say, then killing this monster here isn't that problematic."

"..."

This time the silence he got lasted for an entire half a minute. No one ever thought about getting away without sacrificing a few. And now William was telling them they couldn't just run away without losing anyone, but also they got a chance to take down this terrifying monster.

"If you know what you are doing, then let's do it!" The first to speak up was Sara, and her tone held weird hatred and enmity towards this monster.

"I'm in," Ibra chimed in next, feeling more curious about William's plan to deal with this scary worm.

"What do you want us to do?" as everyone exchanged looks, Berry expressed what others had in their minds.

They all agreed to take on this risk, not just to escape the monster, but also to kill it!

"This monster had to keep its body silent, not moving at all to detect the tiniest vibrations on the ground," William didn't need to turn his head to know that everyone was eagerly looking at him, waiting for his promised miraculous plan.

"With the finest movements on the ground, that monster would detect it, and would sprung out, activating its body to attack. Once moved, the ground will collapse for at least ten metres below the surface, and things will grow quite messy from there."

William spoke about things that partially were known to others. This pattern of deadly attack was known by many in his team. Yet they never knew anything about that vibration detection ability, or how it managed to get the attack triggered by anyone moving on the trap before.

"Then… How can we deal with it?" Sara was the most eager one to kill this monster, even more than Ibra and William, more than others.

"First we have to know where its weaknesses are," William was already beyond his limit, but he had to slowly explain things over to them.

His face, forehead, arms, and even back were all drenched in a thick layer of sweat. He was struggling to stop that mouth, and that struggle was close to being over.

"Which are?" Sara urged him to speak, spill out all the beans. And that was what William did next.

"It has to bury its gigantic body under the ground and not move. And that meant even if it got us trapped here, we also did the same to it."

"..."

Such a simple revelation changed everything in their eyes. William didn't stop there, didn't wait to hear their responses, as he hurriedly added:

"Also, it has to bury its body under the ground, and considering the huge body of it, it has to exert lots of power to do so. And that means it's already exhausted."

He also revealed another simple, and yet shocking piece. "As for its elements, it got the earth element alongside water. To be able to penetrate this easily down there with such a huge body, it had to use water to liquify the solid rocks underground, hide its body deeper down there using earth element. It's crucial for it to do so, as it doesn't just distribute its body in circular fashion on one layer, but on at least fifteen layers, if not more."

The more William spoke, the more entranced and absorbed in his words everyone else became. Even Ibra, even the all anxious and eager to act Sara, all got absorbed in what he was saying, as if they were hearing the lecture of a legendary master.

"Someone already mentioned the weak spot at its tail. It's indeed one of the weak spots in its immense body, but it's not the only one! In fact, there is a very fatal weakness in this monster, one that will only appear when it stops moving…"

William felt like the monster could understand his words, and it seemed to not like what it heard. He got to stop talking abruptly as the mouth part started to twist right and left, trying to push William off balance at any cost.

William couldn't tell if the monster really understood what William just said, but it seemed it felt its closely drawing demise. And so, it started to violently react, trying to knock away this annoying dude.

William clenches the handle of his sword with both hands, resisting and stopping all the monster's attempts before slowly adding in heavy breaths:

"To sense the vibrations on the ground, it needs to open the thick scales surrounding its body, revealing the softer and more vulnerable weaker parts hidden underneath the scales. They can sense any vibration perfectly but won't be able to sustain any attack from bronze grade spirit masters and beyond."

Up to here, everyone was listening attentively. And when he mentioned this weak part of the monster, their minds linked everything he revealed so far, and many jumped out for conclusions.

"So, we have to dig the ground right now and aim at its body down there?"

"But how can we do it without alarming it?"

"I got an earth element; I can do it!"

"I also can help!"

Many started to shout, expressing their desire to act.

"Don't get reckless or impatient, I'm not done yet," William wasn't in the mood to listen to their words anymore.
