Crash!
The sound of water on the surface of the lake attracted the attention of everyone on the shore. Lucy stood up and saw that Allen and the other two had emerged from the lake. She waved her hand and asked, "How is the situation?"
Allen gestured "Everything is going well" before looking at Garner and saying, "We have to clear the rocks that are blocking the way before we have any hope of getting in."
"But in the water, it won't work."
"I can take care of the clean-up, but once the obstacles disappear, the water will definitely speed up. I can't fix myself in the pipe. I need Mr. Garner's help. "
Garner nodded and said to Drew, "Go get the ropes and pickaxes."
A moment later, Fatty brought the tools he needed. Garner tied the rope to the pickaxes first, then tied the ropes around his and Allen's waists, leaving a few meters long rope between the two of them. Garner pulled the rope and said, "I'll fix it outside. Once the obstacles are cleared, I'll pull you out. We'll move when the water slows down."
"Let's do that."
So the three of them dived down again and reached the bottom of the lake. Garner stabbed the pickaxes into the ground at the bottom of the lake, stepped on them with his feet, and gestured to Allen. Allen swam into the exhaust pipe. He didn't bring Qianjun with him, so he could only take out the devil's praise. With a thought, the Origin Energy began to rumble in his blood vessels. A wisp of light lit up at the edge of the devil's praise. Allen pulled horizontally and smoothly drew out a flame breath flash with his dagger.
The speed at which Flame Breath Flash advanced in the water wasn't much slower than on the ground. However, due to the dagger, the orange light it produced was only half of its usual size. However, it was good to be in the exhaust pipe. In an instant, the light disappeared into the rocks that blocked the passageway. A red mark appeared on the pile of stones. Many bubbles appeared nearby due to the high temperature, and the sound of stones cracking could be heard from inside.
Seeing that his attack had worked, Allen waved his dagger and released four or five flaming breaths in one breath. The flickering light overlapped, forming a grid of traces on the pile of stones. As the large rocks were cut into pieces by the Flame Breath Flash, the pile of rubble began to buzz. Allen swam over, stretched out his leg and kicked. Immediately, there was a loud rumbling sound. Many gravel flowed towards the back of the pipe along with his foot, and the flow of water immediately intensified. In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge suction force.
Garner, who was outside, suddenly saw the rope around his waist straighten. Then, he noticed that the flow of water around him had slowed down. When Drew saw this, he looked at Garner and slashed at the rope. After a slight hesitation, Garner shook his head and reached out to grab the rope and pull it back. Drew made a helpless expression and also grabbed the rope and pulled it back. However, the suction in the exhaust pipe increased, and in the blink of an eye, a loud roar sounded. Allen's expression changed. Every second, his body was being squeezed and washed by the terrifying pressure of the water. Under the effect of the suction, the rope around his waist tightened even more, making him feel as if he was going to be cut in half in the next moment.
Seeing that Garner and the others were unable to pull him out of the pipe smoothly, Allen gritted his teeth and cut the rope with his dagger. Immediately, his entire body was brought into the depths of the pipe by the current. Allen shrank his body and hugged his head and face to reduce the area of impact. At the same time, he evenly distributed the Origin Energy around his body, forming a protective force field. Just like that, he didn't know how many meters he had been washed away in the blink of an eye.
At the bottom of the lake, Garner and the others suddenly felt the weight on the other side disappear, and the rope was no longer stretched straight. Garner quickly pulled back the rope and found that the other end had been cut off. The cut surface of the rope was very smooth, and it looked like Allen had taken the initiative to cut the rope. Garner pointed up and floated out of the water with Fatty, swimming back to the shore.
Seeing the two of them return, Lucy jumped up and asked, "Where's Allen?"
"Mr. Allen cut the rope himself. I'm afraid he has already entered the ruins." Garner handed the rope to Lucy.
Lucy looked at it, threw away the rope, and prepared to go into the water. Garner stopped her and said, "Now that the obstacles have just been cleared, the space for the lake to pass through has suddenly increased, causing the water to flow too fast. I don't think it's appropriate to go into the water now. It's not too late to wait for the water to buffer for a while before going in. As for Mr. Allen, I don't think there's any need to worry. Since he took the initiative to cut the rope, he should have the confidence to protect himself. "
"That's just wishful thinking on your part!" Lucy said. Although Allen had taken the initiative to cut the rope, he was rushed into the base by the rapid current. God knows what would happen. She was worried about Allen's safety, so how could she wait on the shore for the current to slow down before going into the lake?
Belmond's figure swayed and he stood in front of Lucy. Lucy had already grabbed the hilt of Golden Rose's gun. "Are you going to stop me too?"
"I just think that if the boss is here, he doesn't want you to take risks so easily, Miss."
Lucy's eyes gradually softened. She didn't say a word, but she let go of the handle of the gun and sat down on a withered tree trunk. Belmond exhaled and looked at Garner again. He didn't say anything, but there was an extremely calm smile on his lips. However, this smile pierced Garner like a needle. Looking at the others, Garner suddenly understood that if anything happened to Allen, these people would probably not let it go.
They didn't care if Allen took the initiative to cut the rope or not.
Allen felt like a stone thrown into the river. The river was turbulent and surging a few times. The stone body couldn't help but drift along with the water. He didn't know how many times he had hit the pipe. The exhaust pipe was zigzagging, and every turn was a test of Allen's physical strength. At this moment, he felt that the blood energy he had absorbed from the giant beast was working.
Not only did the blood energy that entered his body recover the consumed Origin Energy, it also carried some characteristics of a giant beast. For example, tenacity, it increased Allen's physical strength by quite a bit. At the very least, Allen did not lose consciousness during the scouring of the lake and the collision of the pipes.
He didn't know where he had been washed away by the water, but Allen suddenly felt his body lighten. He suddenly stretched his body, his hands and feet wide open, and a wave of Origin Energy exploded, counteracting the force of the impact and expelling a lot of water from his body. Allen saw that he was in midair, and in front of him was the exit of the exhaust pipe. The place where there should have been a fence had long since become empty, and the lake water was falling like a waterfall.
Allen began to fall, trying to make himself gentle and relaxed. The moment he landed, he took the initiative to roll forward, removing the force of the impact. A moment later, he stood up. His entire body was filled with stinging pain, and he had consumed a lot of Origin Energy. He wasn't in a hurry to explore and found a corner to sit down. He consciously activated his Origin Energy and allowed them to flow through his blood vessels. Every time he completed a cycle, his Origin Energy would recover a little.
After sitting quietly for half an hour, Allen felt that half of his Origin Energy had recovered before he stood up.
This place was not pitch-black, and one could see some unknown pipes winding on a rusty metal wall beside him. There were some circular light bodies embedded in it. They didn't know what kind of material they were made of, but they emitted a faint light in the dim environment, like stars, causing this sealed space to not be unable to see anything.
Using the light bodies on the walls, Allen scanned his surroundings. This place was like some kind of compartment, and the lake water that flowed down the exhaust pipe turned into a small waterfall and poured into a sewage trough below. The water level in the sewage tank was almost level with the ground, but no matter how much water was injected into it, it did not overflow. This meant that there was another drainage system in the sewage tank, and the lake water must have been discharged elsewhere.
The ground was also covered with metal plates, but the middle part was a layer of barbed wire. Allen walked around, and some of the barbed wire had already broken, exposing thick cables below. They were buried side by side in the groove, and from time to time, one or two cables would light up and then extinguish.
Allen was surprised. It seemed that the energy system of the base was still maintained. Extending forward along these cables, there was an open door. On the left side of the door, an automatic door that was not completely retracted into the wall blocked a small half of the space, revealing a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. Allen drilled out of the crack in the door. Outside was a deep corridor that extended to the left and right.
Even though the walls on both sides of the corridor were also embedded with the same kind of shimmering light, the area four or five meters away was shrouded in darkness. Occasionally, there would be one or two flashes of light. Apart from that, there was nothing else to illuminate.
The aura of the entire space was filled with a damp feeling, which made Allen a little uncomfortable. Just as he was wondering which way to go, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the left.
Hiss!
It was as if something sharp had gently scraped against the wall, and Allen immediately looked over. In the dim corridor, a few specks of fluorescence lit up. In the weak light, something flashed by.
Allen immediately held the Devil's Praise in his hand. It was clear that this base was not deathly silent. He cautiously moved towards the corridor where the strange sound came from. In this type of quiet environment, he lightened his footsteps, but they still produced lonely footsteps in the corridor. Allen walked along the wall. This way, even if there were any creatures in the base, he wouldn't be caught in a pincer attack.
The corridor quickly welcomed a fork, and the fork extended to the left. In the faint light on the other side, Allen saw a suspicious black shadow flash by. He looked in the direction he came from, thinking that the people on the shore shouldn't be coming down that quickly, so he might as well see what exactly it was. As such, he stepped into the fork. At the end of the fork was an open door. The space inside didn't seem to be small, and a cold wind was sent out from the door.
Allen took a deep breath, held the dagger in his hand, and assumed a fighting stance at any time, and then stepped through the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he stepped on something. Allen immediately bounced up, and when he landed on the ground, he looked forward. There was a faint light on the nearby wall, exposing a terrifying face in Allen's line of sight. The muscles on this face had already shrunk, and only the skin was dry. The skin was stuck to the skull, and the two empty eye sockets stared straight at Allen, giving him a fright.
Right at this moment, there was suddenly a breeze behind him!
