After hearing Hunter Falcon's conjecture,
Ye Yuan had never expected
that the mutant beast responsible for so many casualties this time would actually be a gigantic earthworm.
Seeing Ye Yuan's incredulous expression, Hunter Falcon said,
"Do you find it unbelievable?"
Ye Yuan nodded and answered honestly,
"It really is unbelievable. I never imagined that a tiny earthworm could mutate to become so many times larger than its original body."
Ye Yuan was not wrong. When it came to understanding mutant beasts, he was hardly an outsider.
After all, up to this point, he had probably encountered no fewer mutant beasts than the so-called Falcon Squad.
Yet even so, he had never seen a mutant beast with such an exaggerated transformation in size.
That was why he had some doubts about the Falcon Squad's judgment.
After all, so far, they had only inferred this conclusion from a few clues within the mine.
As for seeing it with their own eyes?
Other than those from the second group who had previously entered the mine to investigate,
none of the people still alive had truly seen that mutant beast.
The reason was simple.
The mine in the valley had already been riddled with tunnels by the mutant beast suspected of being an earthworm.
Even though the Falcon Squad had sent down dozens of people,
within underground caverns that resembled a massive maze,
they were like a few drops of water falling into the sea, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about earthworms?

You've heard of the Gippsland giant earthworm, haven't you?
Do you still think earthworms are little things?"
Hunter Falcon looked at Ye Yuan and reminded him with a smile.
Hunter Falcon's mention of the Gippsland giant earthworm stirred
