The Strange Creaking Sound

"Move a little to the right!"

"Quick, quick..."

"This section's done. Go work on the next one below!"

The Place of Cessation was now bustling with voices.

Hundreds of thousands of witches were hard at work, making the place look like some kind of construction site.

Busy.

In short, they were busy...

Everyone was working hard to follow Lan Qingyou's plan and take apart the giant Bone Pincer Worm, one bone at a time.

From this angle, the place really did look a bit like a construction site.

But no one paid it any mind.

Because the three hours were almost up.

Once the three-hour window of stopped time ended, the four fellows who had been waiting in the sky for hours would have to finish off the Bone Pincer Worm and the area around it.

Otherwise, who knew? Maybe it would still be alive.

To prevent any accidents,

Lan Qingyou had even ordered some of the bones to be packed into Cards and sent to the temporary wilderness warehouse where Erika was staying.

Or they could simply be sent straight to Eureka through a Teleportation Array.

The plan was to take it apart completely and make sure it was safe.

Sure enough,

the very first second after the three hours were up, the Bone Pincer Worm "woke up," as if right on cue.

But since the witches had removed most of its major joints,

it couldn't move, even though it was awake.

Apart from the section at the very bottom, still buried in the dirt and not yet taken apart, the rest of it lay on the ground, trembling.

It was clear that the Bone Pincer Worm, which had forced the entire Black Witch group to mobilize, was putting up a real fight now that it could move again.
