Parker inhaled sharply and said, "Oh my god, what is this thing?"
Fang Hong was also somewhat shocked. But after all, he was an Alchemist, and no matter how ugly this thing was, it was just a Construct. It looked a bit like a heinous worm, so he tentatively gave it a name — Hesiod Worm, which in Greek Mythology refers to the Hundred-Handed Giant, somewhat akin to this thing.
He patted Parker, "Why don't you try shooting an arrow at it?"
"Why should I, if I shoot an arrow at that thing, it'll just eat us all!"
"If you don't shoot it, it will eat us all later."
Only then was Parker persuaded. He cranked the Magic Guided Crossbow and, filled with uncertainty, shot an arrow in that direction.
The arrow hit the shell of the thing, making a crisp 'clang' and drawing a long spark before flying off. The worm remained motionless, resembling a pile of twisted metal fragments on the ground, lifeless and silent.
