Meng Chao let out a strange cry. His muscle fibers were like springs that had been stretched taut, but they suddenly bounced back. He tumbled more than ten times and managed to avoid the region where the collapse was the most severe.
Even so, he ended up covered in dirt and was nearly buried alive.
He looked ahead in shock and noticed that the place where Gao Ye was hiding was completely buried by the soil.
Gao Ye had turned into the Ultimate Sandworm, so he naturally did not fear the soil devouring him.
The elites from the abnormal beast research department Lu Siya led suffered a lot.
Meng Chao shut his eyes and sensed the powerful spirit energy ripples coming from the depths of the soil. They crashed into each other like waves and let out dull booms. It was as if a series of small-scale earthquakes kept erupting.
He used his chain sabers to dig the soil, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach the battlefield.
Suddenly, a powerful spirit energy ripple spread out in all directions like a shockwave. The soil in front of Meng Chao turned into gravel to reveal a long and narrow tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel was Lu Siya, who knelt on one knee. She had two fingers on her left hand pressed against the center of her eyebrows while her right hand was pressed against the ground. Spirit tattoos shone on her body. They went from the center of her eyebrows to her temples, then from her temples to her long neck. They flowed into the ground through her arms like a winding stream.
She was activating the skill of a mine explorer to change the structure of the underground space. She turned part of the area into gravel to reveal enough space for fighting, but the other part was as sturdy as steel to prevent Gao Ye from escaping.
Even if she had been baptized by the Red Radiance Jade mine and her spirit energy reserves were ten times greater than before, releasing such a large spirit energy magnetic field still used up all of Lu Siya's strength. Her face was as pale as a ghost, and she swayed.
And in the underground space she had opened up in front of her was a man with silver hair. His age could not be determined.
He was not tall, and he did not have a strong build either. His baby face made it easy for others to mistake him for a middle school student. Only the fine, curved lines at the corners of his eyes added a hint of maturity and age to his appearance.
He held a long saber that was thin and long. It was like a drying pole and had a slight curve. When he held it upright, it might be taller than Meng Chao. He looked like a child swinging a saber, and Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
But Meng Chao did not laugh.
This was because he sensed that the silver-haired man was exuding an extremely dangerous aura. It did not lose to Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu's absolute killing intent.
The baby-faced, silver-haired person who looked like a child wielding a saber was definitely not a normal Heaven Realm elite.
Mysterious and complicated spiritual tattoos appeared on the thin blade that looked like a clothes-drying pole.
The sharp blades danced crazily like lightning, leaving thin and long silver threads in the air. They did not disperse for a long time, as if they were traces left by supersonic weapons.
One, two, three, four … The trajectories of the blades slicing through the air increased in number and density. They crisscrossed and gradually weaved into a peerlessly exquisite cage.
When the 99th silver mark passed, the first silver mark still hadn't dissipated.
Gao Ye originally wanted to escape while the rocks were falling.
But he did not expect that Lu Siya, who was skilled in controlling rocks, would be among the reinforcements Meng Chao summoned.
He crashed into the iron wall that Lu Siya had solidified, and his head bled.
He wanted to change his direction, but it was already too late. The silver-haired man's saber swept up thousands of silver glares that enveloped him completely.
Gao Ye charged around the cage. Every time he crashed into a silver mark, he felt as if he had been cut by a saber, and terrifying wounds appeared on his body.
No matter how tough the Ultimate Sandworm was, it was still a newly born experimental subject. When it faced the spirit energy magnetic field created by a superhuman at the peak of Heaven Realm, it had to retreat.
As Gao Ye struggled, the silver-haired man's lips curled up. He mumbled something, and the net formed by the intersecting silver blades started shrinking. It was about to completely trap Gao Ye.
Gao Ye took a deep breath. His body, which was already enormous to begin with, instantly swelled up another fold. His pitch-black skin completely became a scarlet red color.
"Careful!"
Meng Chao had fought against the super Giant Sandworm in the depths of Trash Site 4, so he knew that this mutated monster had all sorts of strange skills.
He instinctively pounced on Lu Siya and pulled her to the ground. He held his head with his left hand and pressed down on Lu Siya's head with his right.
The silver-haired man snorted coldly, and the speed at which the saber glares shrank increased.
Nearly one hundred saber glares were about to cut Gao Ye to shreds.
The second half of Gao Ye's swollen body suddenly exploded.
It was like a whale that lived in the depths of the sea. Sometimes, it would be washed to the beach by the waves and die. Bacteria would grow in its body, and its gas would expand. It was very easy for it to cause a terrifying explosion.
The second half of the Ultimate Sandworm's body exploded like a biochemical bomb with endless power.
The shockwave not only sent everyone flying, including the silver-haired man, but they were also embedded in the ground. Their tendons and bones were broken, and they could not move.
Besides, the foul-smelling contents of the Ultimate Sandworm's body turned the entire underground space into a mess.
The monster's body originally stored a large amount of acid used to digest garbage and soil.
This acid was the crystallization of human biochemical modification technology. It could easily deal with most of the trash that could not be degraded in the natural environment and the sturdiest rocks.
When it gushed out, it was wet and sticky. It turned into a swamp of acid.
Meng Chao and the others activated their spirit energy in time to get rid of the acid on their bodies, but they did not have the spare energy to capture Gao Ye's remains.
It took them a full five minutes to snap out of the terrifying biochemical explosion.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at the mess on the ground and carefully moved around the acid to arrive in front of the battlefield. They noticed that the silver-haired man whose fighting suit was riddled with holes was standing in front of a huge hole that slanted downwards without saying a word.
The hole had just appeared.
Sandworms and other annelids had astonishing vitality. Even if they were cut in half, they could survive separately.
Gao Ye had given up about one-third of his body and even most of his organs.
But as long as the first half of his body managed to escape, before long, the rest of his body would grow back.
His broken body must have escaped through this hole.
Meng Chao cast a few glances at the hole.
He noticed that once the hole was more than ten meters deep, it was blocked by collapsed stones and stones.
Gao Ye could devour the stones and stones in front of him while he excreted the stones and stones from the back through the hole to block his path of retreat.
Unless they mobilized dozens of mine explorers like Lu Siya or a large number of shield tunneling machines and Giant Sandworms, it would be very difficult for them to catch up to him in such a terrible environment.
Moans came from the collapsed stones and stones around them.
They were the reinforcements Lu Siya brought. They were not as strong as the silver-haired man, but they had unfortunately fallen into Gao Ye's trap and were struggling to save themselves.
The silver-haired man sighed and smiled wanly. "He escaped. Let's go back and save him."
New notifications popped up in front of Meng Chao's eyes.
[Increased progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities by 5%. Current progress: 18%. Increased contribution points by 2,500.
[Severely injured special citizen Gao Ye and temporarily stopped the progress of the Supernatural Entities' Plan. Increased contribution points by 12500.]
'This is …'
Meng Chao sank into deep thought.
…
Half an hour later.
Meng Chao wrapped himself in a blanket and sat beside the ambulance. He watched as a large group of firefighters dressed in biochemical airtight suits completely cut off Spirit Creation Creatures from the outside world. They also cleaned up the messy research center that had sunk underground.
The firefighters were all tall and agile. Even through the biochemical airtight suits, Meng Chao could sense the surging spirit energy ripples around them. They were all well-trained elites.
Lu Siya told Meng Chao that they were not actually firefighters. They were all members of the operation team from the abnormal beast research department. They were only affiliated to the fire department so that they could prevent the public from panicking during their operations.
"I risked everything because of what you said. That's how I managed to bring so many operation team members and elites." Lu Siya asked Meng Chao for credit.
"I didn't betray your trust either. There's indeed something wrong with Gao Ye, but unfortunately, he still managed to escape." Meng Chao felt a little regretful.
"Who would have thought that when he modified the Ultimate Sandworm, aside from the genes of octopus and cuttlefish, he also implanted the genes of sea cucumbers and other echinoderms? When sea cucumbers run into danger, they can spit out their organs on their own to fend off enemies. Gao Ye strengthened this ability even further and turned his organs into terrifying biochemical bombs. This guy is seriously an evil genius, "Lu Siya said.
"But the stronger Gao Ye is, the greater the credit you'll get for exposing his true colors. Thank goodness you were around, or else, he would have occupied all the resources in Spirit Creation Creatures and modified them in secret for another three to five years … No, maybe after a year and a half, the Ultimate Sandworm would have been modified to become even more terrifying than an Apocalyptic Beast.
"Even though Gao Ye managed to escape this time, he was also badly injured. Not only is his body incomplete, he can't rebuild a research center of the same scale and level as Spirit Creation Creatures within a short period of time. Next time, we'll definitely have a chance to capture him.
"Besides, you saved Xie Xiaolei!"
Meng Chao's guess was right.
Because he had arrived in time, Gao Ye had not managed to kill Xie Xiaolei and destroy his corpse.
The operation team members from the abnormal beast research department had saved the terrified and dying Xie Xiaolei from a disinfectant cabinet in Gao Ye's secret lab.
This might be the best news of the day.
But Meng Chao knew that Gao Ye would not let the matter rest just like that.
His specious theory had a certain degree of bewitchment. From a certain point of view, it was also self-justifying. It was definitely not something that a person could come up with behind closed doors.
There had to be an organization behind him.
Perhaps this organization was connected to the White Spirit's creator in some way.
Meng Chao thought about it. The White Spirit should not have been modified by Gao Ye.
After all, he had witnessed Lin Chuan's sacrifice, and many people knew about it.
If Gao Ye was the White Spirit's creator, he should have been able to guess that Meng Chao knew the White Spirit's secret.
Then, it was impossible for him to drag Meng Chao into the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.
The White Spirit's creator was someone else.
This was not good.
This meant that the organization behind Gao Ye had biochemical experts who were not any weaker than Meng Chao. They also had the skills and resources to modify monsters.
And what the heck was the Supernatural Entity Project?
