"What's a Dune Worm?" Sun Hang asked.
"As the name suggests, it's a Type C Anomaly that lives deep within the Taklamakan Desert. The locals call it a 'Death Worm.' It is a giant worm over a hundred meters long and five to eight meters in diameter. Its most distinctive feature is its lip-shaped mouthparts, split into five petals, each lined with sharp teeth...

But after the Taklamakan Desert was designated a fallen zone, there have been no further sightings of this anomaly..."
After finishing, Yang Qi paused, then added, "The most critical point is that this anomaly... lives in groups."
"I don't think it's a Death Worm." A voice came from overhead. Accompanied by a soft sound, Candle Dragon landed at the bottom of the pit as well.

"That's an option too..." Yang Qi turned to Yang Lian. "Lian, are the meme fragment comparison results out yet?"
"They're out... Nothing in the existing database matches the residual meme fragments inside the tunnels... In other words, this is most likely an entirely new, unknown anomaly." Yang Lian shook her head, her expression grave.

"For some reason, I suddenly thought of an old lyric." Sun Hang tilted
