Meng Chao smelled something damp and rotten.
It was like the swamp in the depths of a primitive forest.
Not only was the methane poisonous, but it was also very easy —
"Hu!"
Zhou Tianshui was like a balloon that had a hole poked through it. As the 'methane' gushed out, his body instantly shrank by a third.
In the next second, the "methane" that he spewed out exploded violently. Green flames soared into the sky and almost covered half the street.
All the glass windows on both sides of the street were shattered.
Meng Chao was also sent flying more than ten meters away by the impact.
His retina came into contact with the burning methane. It was indescribably hot and swollen, and his vision blurred again.
He rubbed his eyes for a long time, only to discover that the 'methane' that had exploded had turned into specks of will-o '-the-wisps. The will-o' -the-wisps were flying everywhere, and Zhou Tianshui was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Siya finally caught up to them.
"You lost him?" she asked.
"I lost it," Meng Chao said.
"He didn't become suspicious, right?" Lu Siya asked.
"Trust my acting skills. He definitely thinks that he escaped with his own abilities." Meng Chao smiled faintly.
Lu Siya nodded and sucked in a deep breath. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I 'saw' his escape route. “
'Thank goodness I created a unique tracking drug. I originally prepared it for the Ultimate Sandworm, Gao Ye, but I didn't expect that I'd use it on this boy.'
Just now, he had analyzed the situation with Lu Siya. Zhou Tianshui was a mole, and it was impossible for him to be the mastermind who mobilized so many monsters to create a diversion and launch a precise ambush.
Even if they captured him on the spot, they might not be able to get any crucial information out of him.
Right now, Professor Lu Tianxing's fate was unknown, and the 'mastermind' of the alien beast had yet to surface. He might as well cast a long line to catch a big fish. He purposely let Zhou Tianshui go and see if he would meet up with the mastermind.
Hence, when their arms crossed, Meng Chao discreetly smeared a tracking drug on Zhou Tianshui's body.
It was a unique tracing drug. It contained Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals powder, as well as some sticky liquid from the Demonic Swamp Lizards.
Ever since he was attacked by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami under Raging Waves and was lucky enough to hide in the Blue Origin Crystal mine, he had managed to escape the disaster.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya became especially sensitive toward these two crystals.
They could sense even the slightest bit of Red Radiance Jade powder in all the materials.
The Demonic Swamp Lizard was a very interesting monster.
It wasn't even considered a Nightmare Beast, but it had special techniques to confuse and intimidate its enemies.
It could secrete dozens of different sticky liquids that released the scent of Nightmarish Beasts and even Hell Beasts.
If he smeared this sticky liquid on leaves and shrubs, he could disguise his habitat as a beast's nest, so normal monsters would not dare to approach him.
Its aura was indescribably fragrant. Humans who had undergone special training would be able to smell it even if it was diluted ten thousand times.
Meng Chao was a harvester, and Lu Siya was a spirit sensor. They were not unfamiliar with the scent of the Demonic Swamp Lizards. After receiving a period of strengthening training in the abnormal beast research department, as long as they poured spirit energy into their nasal mucosa, they would have a very developed sense of smell, and they could accurately locate the scent of the Demonic Swamp Lizards.
Besides, they could sense the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals. Only the two of them and Qin Hu could sense the tracking medicine Meng Chao personally created. It was much more secretive and effective than the normal tracking medicine the abnormal beast research department created.
Originally, Meng Chao's goal in creating this tracking drug was to capture the Ultimate Sandworm.
Who would have thought that he would accidentally use it here?
Zhou Tianshui thought he had escaped.
What he did not know was that his escape route was like a shining road sign in Meng Chao and Lu Siya's eyes.
"We'll notify the higher-ups and get more powerful fighters to help us," Lu Siya said.
"No, inform the higher-ups. One person is enough. I'll chase after them first. “
Meng Chao explained. "I didn't smear a lot of tracking medicine on him just now. If he escapes underground and uses up all the tracking medicine, we'll be in big trouble.
"And I've already sprayed a lot of tracking medicine on myself. It's enough for me to last one or two hours.
"That's why I have to follow his tail all the way. It'll be easier for you to capture him in one go and capture the mastermind!"
Lu Siya originally wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, she shut her mouth.
They had known each other for a long time, and she knew that Meng Chao was not someone who could be easily stopped.
"Then be careful. Don't go looking for trouble. Based on this, the mastermind might be at Apocalypse Realm. Even Heaven Realm elites can't handle it. It's definitely not something a puny superhuman at the peak of Earth Realm like you can handle," Lu Siya said.
"I'll go to the captain now and mobilize more elites, including the captain's older brother, Deity Realm superhuman Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue, to look for you." “
I won't die so easily. "Meng Chao smiled confidently.
Then, he added in his heart, 'Before I crush the apocalypse, I won't die!'
He followed the tracks Zhou Tianshui left behind and quickly chased after him.
When he went around the corner, the tracks actually took a ninety-degree turn and appeared on the exterior of a building. Then, they disappeared through a window.
It was clear that Zhou Tianshui had climbed up the building and jumped through the window.
If it were not for the tracking medicine, Meng Chao would have most likely lost him if he chased down the street.
Meng Chao followed Zhou Tianshui's path and went through the building from the inside. Then, he jumped down from the other window.
He was at the entrance of a subway station.
There would be a monster attack tonight.
Aside from some of the military lines that were used to quickly mobilize troops, all the civilian lines in the city had stopped operating.
The subway station was no exception.
When Meng Chao went forward to take a look, he noticed that the lock on the metal fence at the entrance had been broken.
Someone had destroyed the lock, pulled up the metal fence, and crawled in. Then, he pulled down the metal fence and pretended that the subway station was sealed.
'It's here.'
Meng Chao pulled up the metal fence without hesitation and crawled in.
He jumped down the stairs and jumped over the gate. When he arrived at the platform, he noticed that the person's tracks extended into the depths of the tunnel.
He became wary and followed the tracks. Meng Chao followed the tracks and went more than ten meters into the tunnel. Then, the tracks turned into the maintenance tunnel beside the tunnel.
Meng Chao held his breath and gently pushed open the door to the maintenance tunnel.
It was so dark inside that he could not even see his own fingers. Meng Chao decided to close his eyes and use his spirit energy to scan the area. He outlined a lot of pipes, cables, and maintenance tools.
In the darkness, the spirit flames released by the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals were like flickering beacons that guided him forward.
Meng Chao arrived at the end of the maintenance tunnel. He moved aside two toolboxes and noticed that someone had dug a hole in the wall.
Behind the hole was a vertical ventilation shaft.
It was so dark that it looked like it led straight to hell.
Meng Chao turned his head around and looked behind him.
He noticed that he had left behind a trail that was ten times brighter than Zhou Tianshui's.
Lu Siya should be able to bring dozens of Deity Realm elites, hundreds of Heaven Realm elites, and one million Red Dragon Army soldiers to this place in time, right?
When he thought of this, he made up his mind and crawled into the ventilation shaft. Then, he used his hands and feet to crawl down.
The ventilation shaft was really long and deep. It looked like there was no end to it.
Based on the repairs on the walls, they did not look like they were made by sandworms. Instead, they looked like they had been meticulously built by humans.
When he finally reached the bottom of the ventilation shaft and crawled through a horizontal ventilation pipe, he saw a collapsed tunnel. There were even twisted tracks in the tunnel.
The tunnel under the tunnel was even darker than the maintenance tunnel above. It was as if he was at the bottom of the sea, which was thousands of meters deep.
Meng Chao used his spirit energy to scan the area and noticed that there was a shattered subway buried under a collapsed rock not too far away.
He went forward to take a look and found that the subway was built half a century ago. It was in the style of Earth.
By the looks of it, this tunnel was a subway that had existed on Earth.
When Dragon City transmigrated, this tunnel had transmigrated as well.
But since it was at the edge of the transmigration area, space distorted and the tunnel collapsed, so it was abandoned and gradually forgotten by people.
But to the pests who were skilled in moving around underground, this was the best secret tunnel.
Meng Chao crawled through the cracks in the collapsed rocks and jumped into the abandoned subway from the front of the train.
He moved through the subway and found a lot of skeletons on the seats.
He was careless, and he even let out light cracking sounds under his feet. He crushed a few bones.
At the moment the transmigration happened, the subway line was still in operation. Many passengers took the subway and transmigrated to the Other World without even knowing what was going on. Before they could react, they ran into spatial distortions, and the tunnel collapsed. They died a violent death underground.
Transmigration was not a fun thing to do.
Meng Chao sighed in his heart and became even more careful. He moved around the corpses of his compatriots from half a century ago.
Suddenly, he stopped at the center of the second to last carriage.
Zhou Tianshui's tracks had disappeared.
There were faint marks on the ground from the front of the train to where he was.
Even though his presence was becoming thinner, it was not to the point where it would disappear in an instant.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and scanned the area warily.
Suddenly, he heard the soft sound of bones cracking behind him. Crack.
Without hesitation, he used a Scorpion Swings Its Tail and hit something that looked like leather.
That thing fell down, but it did not even grunt before it charged at him again with an aura that was ten times fiercer than before.
'It's … Zhou Tianshui?'
In the narrow subway carriage, guns and cannons couldn't be used. The moment the two sides fought, it was a close combat battle.
Meng Chao threw the man over his shoulder and threw him to the ground.
He had already controlled the man's arms and legs, but a powerful gust of wind still came at his back.
With a loud slap, Meng Chao's spine was struck, and he staggered and flew forward.
When he turned his head around, he saw a humanoid monster.
The monster's face was still Zhou Tianshui's.
Its cheeks, chin, limbs, and torso were covered in a layer of bronze scales.
Sharp spikes jutted out of the side of its arms.
Its hands had turned into sharp claws.
There was also a tail that was covered in scales and looked like a morningstar.
