Meng Chao and Lu Siya followed the sound and entered Saber Jin Wanhao's secret lab.
They saw two monsters fighting against each other in the craziest way possible.
Even though Meng Chao managed to cut off one of the monster's front limbs, the monster only swung its severed arm lightly.
Immediately, a large amount of black adhesive liquid gushed out of the wound and went to the severed front limb.
The front limb rolled on the ground, and black adhesive liquid gushed out of the wound. It intertwined with each other and connected together. In the blink of an eye, it returned to normal.
Meng Chao sensed that the monster's monstrous flames had not been extinguished by him in the slightest.
Meng Chao's skin crawled.
He just knew that the future would not be changed so easily.
"It, it's the Alien Beast, Vortex!"
A 'Ji endured the pain and laboriously moved to Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
"What?"
Meng Chao was shocked.
In his memories, the Vortex was an intelligence-type monster. Its specialty was in mimicry and using its brain. It was not skilled in simple and crude fighting.
Last time, when he fought against the Vortex in the underground maze, he did not think that it was very strong.
A few crystal bombs produced by an assembly line were enough to burn it and force it to retreat.
Compared to its crystalline and harmless appearance at that time, now that it had turned into black adhesive liquid, it was monstrous and terrifying!
Wait, compared to the Vortex's true appearance, the more important question was …
"If it's the Vortex, then what the hell are you?"
Meng Chao placed Bloody Soul across his chest and shielded Lu Siya behind him. He looked at the Vortex and A 'Ji warily, treating them as equals.
"I-I'm A 'Ji!"
The silver-eyed boy adjusted his facial muscles and tried his best to pretend to be obedient and innocent. He pinched his throat and screamed, "Big Brother Chao, save me!"
"Save you, my foot! Your muscles are even more developed than mine, alright?"
Meng Chao said without giving him any face. "Don't come over, and don't call me Big Brother Chao. Take a piss and look at yourself right now. Didn't you notice that you're not that much more handsome than this monster?"
"…"
A 'Ji lowered his head and looked at his bulging muscles that were as tough as steel.
He also saw the blood vessels that wrapped around his muscles like aquatic dragons.
Even the X-shaped eye tattoo on his chest shone brilliantly with spirit energy. It was so dazzling that no one could ignore it.
As crafty as he was, he didn't know how to explain.
Meng Chao used the chance to size up his surroundings.
When he saw the treasures in the room being knocked over or trampled and a large amount of monster materials that could not be bought with money being exposed in the mithril-based stabilizing fluid, he had the same expression as A 'Ji. He looked as heartbroken as A' Ji.
It could not be helped. It was a harvester's occupational disease. They could not bear to see such a scene of natural resources being wasted.
The safe that was wide open and the Hell's Blood that was spreading out a thick fragrance and a dark blue light on the floor stirred up Meng Chao's interest. He narrowed his eyes and nervously analyzed the relationship between him and his enemy, as well as how he should gain the upper hand.
"Even if you're A 'Ji, who is A' Ji? How could he sneak into Saber Jin Wanhao's secret lab through the secret tunnel? And how could he open the Underground Emperor's safe? I didn't see any signs of someone breaking the safe with brute force. You should be the one who opened it, not the monster, right? "
Meng Chao's mind raced. "If you want us to help you, we can explain."
"I don't have time to explain!"
A 'Ji did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Let's work together and get rid of this monster first. It's the Vortex, the mastermind behind the chaos in the lair. It's a super monster at the level of a boss!"
"Cut the crap. It's a boss, and you're not some useless soldier," Meng Chao said.
"Right now, I have a strong suspicion that you and the Vortex are boss-level people who are on the same level as each other. Both of you have strange and unfathomable schemes. It's just that your schemes are interfering with each other's schemes.
"If you're not willing to tell me your true identity, I'll have to think of you in the worst possible scenario.
"Oh well, this is a high-end fight between two bosses. It's not something that newbies like us can participate in. Big Sis Ya, let's go. Don't interfere with the fight between the two bosses!"
Meng Chao gestured at Lu Siya.
"Hurry up and run. Go and look for Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue and Phantom Bear Xiong Wei to help you!"
Lu Siya obeyed his advice and ran away.
But before they could run out of the material warehouse, the Vortex swung its front limbs, which had been cut off by Meng Chao and connected back together with the black adhesive liquid. Because of that, it had become five meters long. It drew three fierce black glares and sealed off their path.
They instinctively tugged at each other.
They dodged the Vortex's claw attack by a hair's breadth.
While they were dodging, the Vortex pinned its claw to the door and dragged its entire body over to block their path.
Kacha kacha, kacha kacha.
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
All sorts of bone-chilling sounds kept coming out of its body.
Black adhesive liquid kept gushing out of its torn body.
Then, a series of bubbles popped out of the black adhesive liquid.
As the bubbles popped, its two front limbs grew longer, and they were dragged to the floor like nine-segment whips.
The six claws scratched the super alloy floor lightly, and sparks and scratches immediately appeared.
Its spine also grew rapidly, causing its neck and tail to become three times longer. It increased its agility and attack range by a large margin.
Its scales grew and hardened together, making it look like it was made of armor that was indestructible.
It grinned as if it was greeting Meng Chao, its "old friend".
A tongue made of black adhesive liquid came out of its mouth. The tip of the tongue split open, and it was covered in dense black spikes.
When it smelled Meng Chao's presence, hundreds of black spikes trembled at high speed like rattlesnakes' tails. They rustled.
[Increased progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities by 1%] popped up at the corner of his eyes.
In an instant, the progress for the quest reached 59%.
But Meng Chao could not feel happy at all.
He gulped laboriously.
He cursed the admin of the monster forum in his previous life.
Which bastard in his previous life had said that the Vortex was just an intelligence-type monster, and its fighting strength was nothing special among the Nine Great Supernatural Entities? It wasn't outstanding.
To hell with "nothing special, nothing special".
His previous life's memories were just too unreliable. This time, he was going to die because of it!
"Haven't you noticed yet? This monster's fighting strength is closely related to its host. The stronger its host is, the stronger its fighting strength is."
He endured the pain and gritted his teeth. "Last time, when you fought against it, it occupied the body of Phantom Bear Xiong Wei's son, Xiong Ying. It's Xiong Ying.
"Xiong Ying was just a rich kid. Even though he used his father's name to become the heir of Black Bone, his strength was only average. He didn't even reach Heaven Realm, so it was only natural that he couldn't bring out much of the Vortex's fighting strength.
"But this time, the Vortex occupied the body of a Hell Beast, a Broken Claw Dragon.
"And it's not a normal Broken Claw Dragon.
"This Broken Claw Dragon was originally the star of Mutual Gold Coliseum. After its genes were modified and biochemical modified, its fierceness and fighting strength increased by leaps and bounds. It once created the miracle of winning thirty-three monster fights in a row. It's known as Death God's Scythe, and everyone in the lair knows it.
"It's precisely because of its brutality and strength that Saber Jin Wanhao chose it and brought it to the secret lab for research.
"Now, the Vortex has fused with the Broken Claw Dragon, which is known as the Death God's Scythe. It has also absorbed a large amount of Hell Beasts' blood to create the super gene medicine known as Hell's Blood.
"You can imagine just how terrifying this monster is after it fused with three absolutely brutal powers.
"If the three of us don't work together, none of us will be able to leave this place alive today!
"And once it cuts us to pieces and eats us alive, it will eat all the treasures and high-grade crystals here. No one knows just how it will evolve. Perhaps it will be the true apocalypse that the lair is about to face!"
Meng Chao found himself speechless.
It was only then that he understood why the intelligence-type Supernatural Entity in his previous life had turned into such a deformed, ugly, monstrous, and terrifying form.
Wait …
"When did you get behind us? And why are you so close to us? Are we very close to you?"
Meng Chao used ninety percent of his guard to keep the Vortex in check, and the remaining ten percent of his guard was fixed on A 'Ji. "Also, how did you know the ins and outs of this matter, the Broken Claw Dragon's information, the existence of this secret tunnel, and the password to the safe? What's your relationship with Saber Jin Wanhao?!"
"Um …" A 'Ji said darkly.
"If I told you that I'm Jin Wanhao's illegitimate son, would you believe me?"
"Duh!"
Meng Chao said without hesitation. "If Jin Wanhao had a son, would he have handed Golden Tooth to a gentle scum like Red Brows Su Lun?"
A 'Ji found himself speechless.
"Why do I have a feeling that you're not Saber Jin Wanhao's biological son or grandson, but you have a close relationship with the Underground Emperor that surpasses that of a person by blood? Then, you and Jin Wanhao were plotting some sort of shady scheme, but I didn't expect that your scheme and the Vortex's scheme would accidentally clash against each other, and both sides would end up injured. In the end, even Saber Jin Wanhao committed many unjust acts, and he had to face his own doom!"
Meng Chao looked at A 'Ji's guilty and resigned face.
Meng Chao's gaze followed A 'Ji's blood, and soon, it landed on his chest. It was the exact same X-shaped eye tattoo on the back of his sister's hand when she turned into the Dark Witch in his previous life.
When he remembered the damage his sister had caused to Dragon City and the Other World in his previous life, Meng Chao's eyelids twitched. "I suspect that if we really helped you kill the Vortex, you would look for a chance to kill us and monopolize all the monster materials, high-grade crystals, and gene medicine. Then, you would replace the Vortex and become a terrifying monster!"
