Anyone dealing with a giant monster worm would run scared. Even a basilisk that was the ancestor of snakes looks like worms in the face of that worm monster itself.
Isaac seemed quite the opposite. He just shows a happy expression.

[Level: 200]
His smile widens to his ear. He reaches his hand to the caecilian and that worm monster is moaning. Slowly, it approached Isaac. He looked closely at the worm monster's head. No eyes, no looks, just a giant mouth with millions of thorny teeth.
If Pippi saw this, she must have thought her master was losing his mind.
The monster's teeth bloomed and were pointed at him. Before he knew it, his hair stood up and his body began to tremble. His demon instinct says the creature before him is a dangerous predator.
But Isaac fights his instincts. He presses all fear to the bottom of his mind.
"Calm! I didn't want to hurt you, "Isaac said.
"GRHHHHHH!!!"
Suddenly, caecilian screamed in front of him. Steam over Isaac. His skin could feel the sting, though he has taken a potion buff that increases resistance to heat.
Caecilian stop the scream. The worm monster covers its teeth. Isaac smiled freely at him.
"Heh heh. I did it. She responded to me, "Isaac murmured with a grin.
Isaac was trying to interact caecilian
Despite the terrifying outward appearance, Caecillian is indeed a soft-hearted monster. Her tenderness is nearing the high elves level.
Caecilian is one of the millions of beast - type monsters with high intelligence. Its just can't speak. Uniquely, the worm monster has a high affinity for the 'mana' around it, almost approaching the fye type of monster.
According to their appearance, caecilian has no sense of receptors. But she can detect objects around by sensing the changing mana flows in nature. If projected in visual form, Caecillian would be like swimming in a million moving lines all the time.
"Come here."
Following Isaac's request, the monster close itself to the demon.
"Good. Any closer, I won't hurt you."
Finally, his hand came in contact with the surface of Caecilian's skin. Isaac experienced a thick, coarse sensation of the worm monster's skin.
Isaac smiled widely. He managed to make contact with Caecilian.
"Good girl, good girl."
He's stroking the giant worm monster like he's stroking Pippi's head. And strangely enough, she seem to cooperate.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You are the first demon to ever make contact with the ruler of the desert. No creature has ever felt her tenderness.]
[You got title "Heart Touch"]
[Effect: the sixth sense is open. The player can sense the danger of the coming attack.]
[Perception stat increased by 10! ]
Isaac managed to get back the first title he'd earned in a previous life.
In the first round, Isaac almost died trying to complete the challenge. At the time he didn't have much information about the terrain and conditions, causing him to become a victim of the monsters.
Plus, he didn't bring any consumption item that would give him an effect of resistance to temperatures in the desert. As a result, he was severely dehydrated due to the massive loss of bodily fluids.
Isaac has accepted his fate. When he was lying weakly in the desert heat, it would appear before him. The first time Caecillian saw him, Isaac was desperate. He thought the monster was gonna kill him. Turns out it's the opposite. Caecillian dug the deepest hole to bring out the groundwater.
Water overflows and floods the desert, creating an oasis that resembles a small lake. Thanks to that, Isaac survived death.
But it's not the end of the story.
"GGRRRRR"
Not long after that, Caecillian turns her head away from Isaac and then she goes back into the ground.
At that very moment, Isaac saw an opportunity. He put both of his gun to inventory and take Black Jade
He leapt down to Caecillian and hung a greatsword in that monster's body. Caecillian skin is so hard, it's as if his sword just stuck to the surface of her rough skin.
Isaac then dived into a sea of sand. He felt millions of sand particles devour him and his body seemed driven by enormous force. His hands are holding the handle of the sword and carrying as much as possible to the jade black.
Boom!
His sword creates a wind shield, pushing the sand that devoured his body and provided him breathing room.
"I did it."
Now, it was just how much mana is left on his body to keep the wind shield active.
Caecilian continues to dive into the sand, until the monster enters a cave. Isaac was quick to jump from Caecillian Body. While the monster continued to dive to the bottom.
"I made it."
Isaac was inside the cave full of luminous minerals. The roof of the cave was filled with pointed stalagmites. There was no sound other than a drop of water. Not far from it is a lake with crystal-clear water. Isaac could see a fish monster resembling a catfish swimming in it.
He saw the system window. Eta, 12 hours.
"Time to move."
Isaac started exploring the tunnel of the cave.
Along the way Isaac was confronted by monsters. Most of them are insect type monsters; Like the arachnid, the scorpion desert, and the moth monster. In his eyes, they're just insects of abnormal size. They're not giving Isaac any trouble.
The deeper Isaac plies the cave's belly, the fewer monsters he encounters. The minerals contained in the walls of goa were becoming less and less visible, until there was finally no light left to shed on the darkness of the cave.
Even so, Isaac did not stop walking. All the receptor's senses are trying to receive everything around them. His ears kept hearing drops of water and his footsteps.
Until finally, Isaac saw a red light glow in the darkness. Instantly a smile bloomed on his face.
'There it is! '
He's accelerated his pace. The red light gets brighter, until he gets in.
Isaac arrived inside a cave belly with hundreds of fetuses wrapped in crystalline glands. If humans see it, they think of it as aliens.
Actually, they are the eggs of the monster desert worm-cement-Caecilian!
Caecilian is the only monster on the Challenge Dimensions. They were never sold in shops or auctions. The Angels argued that they are too dangerous to release into the human world, but in reality, Caecilian are not sold because of the potentially huge unbalance of the game.
Hence, Isaac craves it. It's the secret hidden from challenge 31.
Isaac approached one of the eggs. The size of a human torso. He touched it very carefully.
"I had failed to make an egg before. This time won't happen."
Unfortunately, things didn't go so well.
GGGGRRRRR
Suddenly, a groan filled the whole room. The whole cave trembled, dust fell. At that moment Isaac realized that death was right behind him.
