"What … is this place?"
This was the Southern Continent. However, this creature did not know its exact location because it was now … in a very dark underground.
It was Montezuma. In the recent successful operation, it rescued the target it had been looking for – Maya.
But it found that success also came with a price.
Atlan's reinforcements soon arrived. They chased after Montezuma's troops, so Montezuma let a Deep Sand Bus attract them while he and the other troops fled to another place.
The Deep Sand Bus seemed to have successfully attracted Atlan's troops, but Montezuma found that they were guarding the passage it came from, so it could not go back the way it came, and could only go deeper underground.
Fortunately, Montezuma found that there were a lot of passages underground. These passages did not seem to have been dug by Atlan, but something that had existed a long time ago.
They seemed to be tunnels dug by some large worm-like creature. These tunnels were very complicated, and Montezuma could effectively avoid Atlan's pursuit here.
The pursuing troops of the Atlan had also arrived, so Montezuma ordered his troops to quickly spread out and attract the Atlan into the various passages.
Montezuma took a seemingly safer route. He took a small part of his troops and Maya into the depths of this passage.
However, the deeper he went into this kind of tunnel, the farther Montezuma found it was from the surface … It seemed that it was more difficult to turn back.
And Montezuma was also concerned about another thing … Maya.
Maya had been in a coma. He did not know what Atlan did to her, but Maya had been continuously releasing weak brain waves before. So Montezuma could find her.
However. This characteristic of hers had now become an obstacle. It seemed that those Atlan were tracking Montezuma through this, so it now had to keep running.
'Da da da …'
A sound came from behind Montezuma.
It was the sound of Atlan's footsteps. Their voices echoed in the narrow passage. Montezuma could hear them clearly even though they were far away.
Montezuma immediately ran forward, following the winding passage. Its speed was much faster than Atlan's, and it was behind Montezuma. There was also a large group of small Aztec worms following them. They could deal with the small number of Atlans.
However, Montezuma knew that if he kept running, he would reach the end sooner or later, so he had to stop Atlan's pursuit.
"Wake up!"
Maya was carried by a swarm of small Aztec worms. Montezuma was so angry at the sight of her that he prodded her with his forelimb.
"Gulu gulu …" Maya made some noises, but she did not wake up.
"This thing …" Montezuma could easily kill Maya now, but he didn't do so. It felt that it was too boring to kill it so easily.
Therefore, it wanted it to wake up. Then, he would fight it in a fair and square manner.
Therefore, Montezuma decided to let Maya live here.
But why didn't it wake up?
Montezuma poked Maya a few more times, and Maya reacted. She rolled around and fell to the ground.
She should be waking up now.
Just as Montezuma was thinking this, Maya suddenly sent out an extremely strong brainwave!
This brainwave hit Montezuma like a wave, and at the same time, it quickly spread along the passage.
The moment the brainwave was transmitted, Montezuma also heard the sound from the distant passage.
It seemed that the Atlans, who were originally scattered to chase Montezuma, had begun to gather in this place! And they seemed to have some kind of 'transportation', and their speed was particularly fast.
Montezuma didn't have time to think too much. He immediately ran into the depths of the cave at full speed.
In fact, as long as he left Maya behind, he could still escape, but he didn't think so. Instead, he took Maya … deeper and deeper.
Maya soon stopped sending out information, but her location had been confirmed by Atlan.
Obviously, Atlan couldn't completely confirm the previous weak information, so they were so slow. Now, they were rushing over faster than Montezuma. Montezuma could only hope that he could find a place to hide before they arrived.
At the same time, he had to wake Maya up!
After a few turns, Montezuma found that the passage ahead had become spacious, and it was warmer here. There was a lot of water on the ground, which made it look like an underground lake.
And in the water, Montezuma found some creatures.
These creatures were called 'hairy whales'. It was said that they were long-haired fish-like creatures that evolved from hairy jade. They were very small, only three meters long, but since they appeared here, it meant that this underground lake led to the outside.
This might be the key to escape.
With this thought, Montezuma picked up Maya and immediately dived into the water. He swayed his body and dived to the bottom of the lake. His eyes kept searching for the passage under the lake.
Found it!
Montezuma saw the passage next to a stone at the bottom of the lake. He immediately swam in the direction of the passage.
'Gulp …'
Suddenly, Montezuma felt something unusual in the water. A large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the lake, and at the same time, he saw a strange thing floating from the passage at the bottom of the lake.
'What's this?'
Montezuma looked at the square object with some confusion. At the same time, he noticed that the water flow around the square object seemed to be getting faster and faster, and it was spinning …
Montezuma felt that something was wrong and immediately swam to the surface of the water …
Suddenly, with the surging water flow, the water in the entire underground lake began to spin, and a huge vortex formed in the center of the lake.
'Gulp!' Montezuma was also involved in this violent vortex. It was difficult for his body to move in the water, and only his head could be slightly above the surface. Moreover, the speed of the water was getting faster and faster …
Suddenly, Montezuma found a hairy whale swimming quickly in front of him. This creature did not seem to be affected by the vortex. Montezuma immediately grabbed the tail of the hairy whale.
