In the main warehouse in the deepest part of the underground fortress … What do you want me to read?
Bai Wulei was dumbfounded as he stared at the ruins, corpses, and rusted scraps of magical equipment that were piled up like mountains.
Fifty rows of Crystal Suit racks dozens of meters tall seemed to be full of the magnificent Crystal Suits of the Star Ocean Imperium. However, after a gentle touch, all the Crystal Suits collapsed as if they were made of sand and turned into flying iron scraps.
Bai Wulei coughed hard because of the stimulation of the iron scraps. While coughing, he bellowed, "It's impossible! How can there be so little garbage here? The old man said that secret treasures enough to arm tens of thousands of Cultivators were hidden here! "
As if he had gone mad, he ran around the warehouse crazily, digging up weapons and magical equipment one after another. It was a pity that his fingers seemed to have the ability to destroy everything in the blink of an eye. All the weapons and magical equipment that he touched were shattered and collapsed, turning into piles of debris.
"How did this happen?"
Bai Wulei was on the verge of tears. He gnashed his teeth and said, "It doesn't make sense. The old man took out countless magical powers and magical equipment from the underground fortress to boost morale. I asked him, 'If we give so many secret treasures to others, what should we do with ourselves?'" "That's right.
"But the old man burst into laughter and said that what he offered was just a drop in the bucket, and that the real good stuff was all below the ground!
"How can it be?
"There must be a mistake. There must be other warehouses. There must be!"
Bai Wulei waved a seemingly glamorous flying sword, but it was broken into more than ten pieces after he waved it softly. It was even more fragile than glass. Do you want me to read a book? < w-w, w-w. 1 >
Fengyu Zhong, Master Hidden Fog, the previous leader of Black Spider Tower, and Dark Empyrean, the real 'Black King', frowned and stared at the walls around, deep in thought.
The spacious warehouse was covered in vague black fog, which seemed to be leaking out of the cracks of the wall.
Fengyu Zhong said respectfully, "Black King. What do you think? "
Right now, Dark Empyrean had launched a Yuanying attack on Bai Xinghe in front of so many people. It was meaningless for him to hide his identity anymore. He was no longer as low-key as the 'Eight Blades of Black Spider'. He stood straight, surrounded by a dominating aura. He said casually, "It seems that we have all been fooled by Bai Xinghe, the cunning Pirate Potentate. He's just bragging. "
"There are no secret treasures of the Imperium in the underground fortress at all. Even if there are, most of the magical equipment and weapons are rusted and damaged!
"What he brought to the surface is everything, that old fox!"
"However …"
The Black King narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment. "It suddenly occurred to me that most of the weapons and magical equipment on our way here were seriously damaged. However, the amount of war materials stored is unexpectedly large, especially the high-energy crystals like thunder stones, whirlwind stones, lanthanite, and so on. They seem to have far exceeded the needs of ordinary war. "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when Dark Empyrean's face suddenly changed. He drew a rune casually and clenched it in his hand. He mumbled a spell and tossed it out abruptly!
A small black bug immediately flew out of his palm.
A moment later, the tip of Fengyu Zhong's nose twitched as he sniffed. He said solemnly, "It is indeed a bit weird. The humidity of the air has suddenly increased. The spiritual energy of the water class is very active!"
"Not good!"
Dark Empyrean seemed to have sensed something. His face turned pale as he shouted, "Let's go now!"
…
In the middle and upper levels of the underground fortress … It was a completely different scene.
In the past ten thousand years, there had been several earthquakes. Especially five thousand years ago, due to the influence of the Heavenly Tribulation, there had been a huge earthquake. The underground fortress had long been riddled with holes.
The traps that Yan Xinjian had carefully designed had changed the direction of the Nether River precisely through several insignificant explosions. The underground Nether River entangled the underground fortress like a raging flood dragon. The tentacles, claws, and teeth of the flood dragon poured into the fortress through the countless cracks on the upper half of the fortress!
For a moment, the underground fortress had become a land of water!
In the countless tunnels, the surging flood was like roaring giant beasts, rampaging in an unstoppable manner.
Countless space pirates had been swallowed by the flood before they realized what was going on. They were smashed into the walls by the rapid water currents. Despite the protection of the Crystal Suit, they vomited blood, and their internal organs were torn apart. I want to see >
The flood itself was not scary, but most of the warehouses in the underground fortress were piled with high-energy crystals such as thunder stones and whirlwind stones.
Those highly unstable crystals did not even need to touch water directly. As long as the humidity of the air was high enough, the spiritual energy of the water class in the air would be very active and would immediately explode!
Immediately —
Explosions were breaking out everywhere in the underground fortress. Countless warehouses and pathways were blown apart before they were swallowed by the flood. Countless space pirates and Immortal Cultivators were swallowed and suppressed by the fireballs and the billions of rocks that were falling from the sky before they had the chance to scream!
Even the places that were not affected by the explosions of the thunder stones and the whirlwind stones were completely drowned by the flood, countless apocalyptic beasts in the Nether River crawled in together with the flood.
Those apocalyptic beasts had been living below the ground where they could not even see their own fingers for thousands of years. They could only sense their prey with their spiritual energy.
In order to avoid their natural predators, they had often developed the ability to conceal their spiritual energy.
Right now, the space pirates and Immortal Cultivators who were in a hurry and did not conceal their spiritual energy at all but unleashed their strongest state were like fireflies in a dark night. They had become the most attractive prey for the apocalyptic beasts.
There were floating exotic beasts that emitted a faint glow like jellyfish. There were fish-type exotic beasts that were crystalline like goldfish, but had a mouthful of sharp fangs that could bite through reinforced alloys. There were wriggling insect-type exotic beasts that looked like water snakes and giant centipedes, their bodies covered in flagella and tentacles, wriggling non-stop …
Hundreds of apocalyptic beasts were swimming, sneaking, searching, and communicating with each other about their greed and cruelty. Want to Read >
Even their natural predators had given up the idea of hunting each other because there were more delicious prey in front of them.
Swoosh!
A floating apocalyptic beast that looked like a transparent jellyfish lunged at a space pirate who was struggling in the flood. Its soft body opened and covered the space pirate's head like a bag. The soft tentacles groped for the gaps of the Crystal Suit and injected fatal venom into it.
Hiu!
Almost a hundred 'goldfish' with sharp teeth congregated into a cluster of fatal brilliance and lunged at an Immortal Cultivator who had suffered internal wounds because of the flood. They bit his Crystal Suit brutally and tore it apart, breaking the Crystal Suit into pieces in cracking noises!
"Hu!"
The giant centipede-like apocalyptic beasts spurted out corrosive body fluids while they were swimming. The dark green body fluids soon dissolved in the water and turned into dark green mist, enshrouding the two ignorant Immortal Cultivators without a sound.
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhhh!"
"What's that? What the hell is that? "
Screams were soon echoing in the communication channel of the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators. Countless people were killed in the dream of immortality before they even sensed where the enemy was!
…
Inside the secret pathway, Bai Kaixin and Lei Dalu were moving forward cautiously. Lei Dalu's nostrils suddenly enlarged, and his ears twitched violently. Leaning against the wall, he listened carefully for a while and mumbled, "Something is not right."
Bai Kaixin grew anxious. "What's going on? This path is very inconspicuous. The Immortal Cultivators shouldn't have noticed it. "
"Judging from the voice, it doesn't sound like an Immortal Cultivator …"
Lei Dalu mumbled. Then he suddenly shrieked, "Not good. Run!"
"What's going on —"
Before Bai Kaixin finished his sentence, he heard a boom from afar, which seemed to be the sound of something exploding. Then, the deafening sound of a surging flood approached them at the speed of lightning.
Bai Kaixin was dumbfounded, too. "What's going on?"
Huala! Huala! Huala!
As if the horn of a dragon king had been blown, a cluster of white waves crashed into a corner, raging and brandishing their claws hideously.
"What are you waiting for? Run!"
Lei Dalu grabbed Bai Kaixin's arm and turned around to run!
…
Li Yao and Bai Xinghe dived into the water. What they saw made them shudder in fear.
It was a pathway that had just been savaged by the flood and the apocalyptic beasts in the water.
Countless remnants were floating in the dirty water. There was no telling whether they were the remnants of the Crystal Suit or the magical equipment from the underground fortress. Now and then, there were empty Crystal Suits floating at the bottom of the water, their hands still waving crazily. When Li Yao approached and observed them, he often discovered that there was nothing but empty skeletons inside. Sometimes, there was not even a single piece of bone left.
They were all space pirates and Immortal Cultivators who had been attacked by the apocalyptic beasts in the water without leaving any bodies behind.
Li Yao and Bai Xinghe both knew the formidability of the apocalyptic beasts in the water. The two of them both switched their Crystal Suits to the stealth mode and tried to reduce the spiritual energy that they spread out. They groped forward in the water with the strength of their muscles and bones.
Right now, a large batch of panicked space pirates and Immortal Cultivators had activated their spiritual energy to the maximum. They were more attractive prey than they were. Therefore, it was not a big deal for them to activate a tiny bit of their spiritual energy.
On their way, the two of them did run into some apocalyptic beasts in the water. If they were small, they would annihilate them as fast as lightning. If they were large, they would simply turn off the last bit of spiritual energy and pretend that they were two cold iron shells.
Living in the dark underground world for generations, many of the apocalyptic beasts in the water had lost their visual organs. They could only perceive with their spiritual energy. They swam past the two of them as if they were blind. There was no conflict. However, their hideous appearance raised goosebumps all over Li Yao's body.
"The two of them are gradually running toward the depths of the underground fortress."
Bai Xinghe activated the light beam again while there were no apocalyptic beasts nearby. His voice was mixed with intense worry. "Not good. According to their current route, it is very likely that they will run into the main force of the Immortal Cultivators!
"We have to rescue them before they run into the main force of the Immortal Cultivators and bring them back to the Star Prier's House so that we can escape from the underground world together!"
