Brunei was a sixth-order paranormal, but his power wasn't water, so he had to rely on an oxygen tank to breathe underwater.
Most of the explorers were like that, and they communicated with each other through electronic devices.
Hearing Brunei's words, the other three teams were in an uproar.
"What? More than twenty energy stones? "
"Damn, Captain, you're awesome! You found twenty energy stones at once!"
"Hahaha, it seems that we can get another four or five energy stones!"
It had been two to three months since Vitteo had sent people to explore the underground river.
Starting from the lake above, the lower part of the river all the way to the exit of the Pacific Ocean had almost been completely explored.
In fact, because of the erosion of the river, most of the energy stones appeared in the latter part of the river.
As for the upper part of the river in the upstream area, they had only explored about ten to twenty miles of the area.
It couldn't be helped. Viteo's team was determined by the number of energy stones, so they would go wherever there were more.
Brunei's team didn't have many people, so after finding fewer and fewer energy stones in the lower part of the river, they planned to start exploring the upper part of the river.
There were some people who had the same idea as Brunei's team.
Although there were fewer energy stones in this way, compared to the large number of explorers in the lower part of the river, they would be able to find more energy stones.
Finding more than twenty energy stones in a small area was rare even in the lower part of the river, let alone the upper part of the river.
Therefore, such a discovery made Brunei and the others very happy, and the team of four soon began to gather.
But at this moment, Brunei suddenly felt that something was wrong with the surrounding water.
"Hmm, what's going on? Are there big fish? "
Brunei frowned slightly, but he didn't care much.
Having stayed in the underground river for more than two months, Brunei knew that because the river was connected to the sea, there were many fish.
Even in the section of the river near the exit, there were still sharks. At first, because of this, some people were killed by the bloody mouths of the sharks.
From then on, General Viteo called back the ordinary people and asked the paranormals to explore and collect energy stones.
Therefore, at this moment, Brunei didn't care much, because not to mention fish, even if there were sharks, they wouldn't be a threat to him.
Huala!
Brunei's heart skipped a beat. Heh, looks like it's a big fish.
Subconsciously, Brunei raised his head and looked in the direction of the torrent, but what he saw left him dumbfounded.
"F * ck, what is this?"
Brunei's heart trembled as he looked at the seven to eight meter long shadow in front of him.
What made Brunei even more shocked was that the huge shadow was already closing in on him. What was even more terrifying was that he could now clearly see that the huge shadow was not a fish at all.
Looking at the bloody mouth, Brunei immediately understood that he had encountered something special.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that he felt an extremely powerful aura from the shadow in front of him.
Not good!
Brunei's first thought was to escape!
But it was too late!
That was because the moment the thought of escaping appeared in his mind, the bloody mouth had already bitten down on him, directly biting him.
"Ah —!"
Brunei screamed, and his ability instantly erupted.
However, it was a pity that his ability was only of the fire attribute. In this underwater environment, his strength would be greatly reduced.
More importantly, even if he unleashed all of his power, he would still not be a match for the owner of the shadow in front of him.
That was because the huge shadow was the seventh-order genetically modified creature that looked like a giant lizard.
Although the genetically modified creatures in the underground space were all failed products of the Breg family's experiments, with the help of spirit stones, their evolution was even more extraordinary.
Basically, in the same level, these genetically modified creatures were much stronger than ordinary ability users, magicians, and even warriors of the same level.
Needless to say, Brunei was only a sixth-order ability user.
Not to mention that they were underwater, even if they were on land, Brunei wouldn't be a match for this genetically modified creature even if he unleashed all of his power.
Therefore, he suffered a tragedy.
Crunch!
With a crisp sound, the genetically modified creature's bite force directly bit Brunei into two pieces. Then, the giant lizard genetically modified creature opened its mouth and swallowed the two pieces of the corpse.
However, after swallowing Brunei, the genetically modified creature wasn't satisfied, because it smelled another aura from the corpse.
The aura of a human!
There were other humans!
The genetically modified creature was overjoyed and immediately rushed toward Brunei's three teammates.
In less than three minutes, the other three were also swallowed by the genetically modified creature.
After swallowing the four ability users, the genetically modified creature was finally satisfied and leisurely swam back to the underground space.
However, what the genetically modified creature didn't know was that when it swallowed Brunei, Brunei was caught unprepared. Even his teammates didn't know.
Brunei's three teammates didn't completely gather together in the end, but they were much closer to each other.
It was worth mentioning that many of the energy stones in the underground river had been washed into the mud by the river water. Even after years of accumulation, most of the energy stones had sunk deep into the river.
Therefore, the Explorers sent by Viteo had already dug out countless holes in the underground river while they were searching for and collecting energy stones.
Most importantly, this underground river originally had many small branches. Although these small branches were all dead ends in the end, many energy stones could be flushed into them.
At first, Brunei and the other three came separately.
Then, after Brunei sent the message, the other three rushed over.
However, they didn't see Brunei being swallowed, but when the three of them approached, the genetically modified creature appeared in front of them.
The three of them were taken aback. At first, they didn't think much of it. At most, they thought that there was a mutated five-kind creature.
This was an underground river three to four thousand meters underground, so it wasn't a big deal for some special five-kind creatures to appear.
However, when the genetically modified creature swam to the three of them in an instant and swallowed one of them, the remaining two were petrified.
The two of them immediately ran, but how could they outrun it?
Soon, another person was swallowed up.
The last person was completely panicked, and he immediately called for help from the explorers' base.
"There's a monster! Help! Ah!"
This was the last person's call for help. After sending out this call for help, he was swallowed by the seventh-grade Boom Lizard.
With his last shout, the explorers' base received his message.
Monster?
What's going on?
The people in charge of communication in the base were a little confused. They didn't know the situation at all.
This base was a space that Viteo had carved out after entering the passage at the bottom of the lake.
Now, this space had been carved out to a large extent, and it had been carefully arranged by several powerful paranormals, turning into a secret base.
Faced with such a call for help, the people in charge of communication in the base were very confused at first.
But then, they found that they couldn't contact the person who had asked for help, and they felt that something was wrong.
Because not only that person, but also that person's team, as well as the sixth-grade paranormal Brunei, had lost contact.
During this period of time, when exploring the energy stones, there were indeed casualties.
However, except for those ordinary researchers and excavators at the beginning, there were at most two or three low-grade paranormals who accidentally got lost in the underground river, and eventually ran out of oxygen and died of hypoxia.
Apart from that, no one else died.
Needless to say, it was a team led by a sixth-grade paranormal.
This matter was definitely not simple!
The explorers' base was overseen by a powerhouse, and that powerhouse was a peak eighth-grade paranormal king.
In fact, he was in a state of breakthrough, so he didn't explore the energy stones.
To be honest, the paranormal king didn't care much about receiving such a mission.
Monster?
It should be some kind of special underground primitive creature!
However, considering that Brunei was a sixth-grade paranormal after all, and although he was somewhat restrained underwater, he still had some strength.
In the end, the paranormal king sent out a seventh-grade paranormal to investigate the specific situation.
And then …
There was no more. After that seventh-grade paranormal left, he didn't come back.
That seventh-grade paranormal wasn't happy about receiving such a mission, because he was exploring a good place and had found a lot of energy stones.
Now that he was ordered to investigate the traces of Brunei and the others, he naturally wasn't happy.
However, he couldn't disobey such an order. He just wanted to solve it quickly, then report back to that place as soon as possible to continue exploring the energy stones.
Because of this, his speed was very fast. He was a wind-type paranormal himself, so even underwater, he could exert great speed.
Soon, he caught up with the genetically modified creature.
But in the end, he became the dessert of that genetically modified creature.
And this was just the beginning. After the genetically modified creature returned to the underground space, it shared the news of the delicious food with its companions.
As soon as they heard that there was delicious food, those genetically modified creatures couldn't help it.
Immediately, twenty or thirty genetically modified creatures rushed toward the place where the delicious food was.
Before the explorers' base could confirm the death of the seventh-grade paranormal, it was attacked by a group of genetically modified creatures.
The strongest of these twenty or thirty genetically modified creatures was only at the eighth-grade, and there were only seven or eight of them.
But the explorers' base only had an eighth-grade paranormal king. Facing such a group of genetically modified creatures, he was no match at all.
In the end, only the paranormal king was able to kill seven or eight seventh-grade and three eighth-grade genetically modified creatures, who fled with serious injuries.
