That was the reason why he was sure that more powerful creatures would arrive in their position.
The confirmation to his hypothesis came almost immediately, dunes formed in the sand below them as if something was crawling under the surface and searching for something.
The heads of huge sandworms came out in the open but stood still, they didn't pounce the cultivators from the Hive, they limited themselves to spread their circular mouths where a series of sharp fangs could be seen coming out of their internal skin.
Then, they released a sharp cry that echoed through the vast desert.
"We must go."
Noah spoke as he flew high in the air, he didn't even pick the corpses that were at some distance from his position as he retreated in the sky.
The elders in his group were a bit surprised by his actions but they decided to follow him anyway, the Demon Prince of the Hive had yet to be wrong about something that concerned magical beasts.
Noah didn't stop flying even after he had reached a height of a few hundred meters, his feet continuously kicked the air as he went higher.
He stopped only when he was at more than a kilometer from the ground, his companions quickly reached him and began to stare at the ground with curious gazes.
"I think we could have picked the remaining corpses, the new sandworms are only in the middle tier after all."
Elder Morgan complained a bit but her expression suddenly froze when she saw that an immense dune was growing at the center of the desert.
The dune continued to rise in the air, slowly reaching a height of two hundred meters until the sand began to fall back on the ground and the mighty being under it was revealed.
It was another worm-type magical beast, it was yellow and a series of small pores could be seen on its skin.
The beast was immense, it was more than three hundred meters long and almost fifty meters large, its size was simply incredible.
"Rank 5 Giant sandworm, it's hiding skills are amazing, I wouldn't have sensed it if it wasn't for the weaker beasts. This specimen seems to be in the upper tier but I can't be too sure about it."
Noah explained to his companions as he stared at the huge sandworm.
The cries that the rank 4 Giant sandworms had released after the Armored ones had been killed were some sort of call for their leader, Noah had understood the meaning behind the cries thanks to his beast's part and had immediately decided to escape because of that.
"I guess this isn't a good area where to set the teleportation matrix."
Noah spoke in a casual tone as he turned toward the elders next to him, their eyes had widened after the rank 5 beast appeared and Elder Morgan repeatedly nodded after she heard his words.
She couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if she had stayed for only a bit longer on the ground, the images that her mind played sent shivers down her spine.
"We will rely on your expertise to find the right location, Prince."
Elder Hope spoke while performing a slight bow, the recent events had increased the amount of respect that she felt for Noah so much that she didn't mind bowing to him even though she was the leader of the group.
