Chapter 67: The Underground Whale
After a very slight sound, Chen Bai fell to the ground. He squatted down, looked around with his eyes, and quickly adapted to the dim environment.
This is a long corridor, surrounded by silver-white metal. It has not been polished and looks extremely rough and ferocious. The visibility in the corridor is very low, and I don't know where it leads.
There was another pop, and Li Xiaorui also came down. He stood next to Shen Bai, looked around cautiously, and said softly:
"It just fell about sixty meters. Oh, we are already thirty meters underground. With our current strength, the noise caused is not enough to alarm the people above."
Shen Bai nodded, and after his eyes adjusted to the brightness here, he walked forward with Li Xiaorui.
They walked silently in the dark and silent corridor. There was a very small slope. Every minute they walked, they would drop about two meters.
Slowly, half an hour passed, and they still had not reached the end of the metal tunnel.
Shen Bai had an unknown premonition in his heart.
He and Li Xiaorui came here to investigate the illegal organization that wanted to stop the "Two Cities Alliance". But even if the illegal people planned to interfere with the alliance, they should have done it in Lanhai City or Qiming City, and wasted such efforts in Fushui City. , why build such a long corridor?
"Xiaobai..." Li Xiaorui suddenly said:
"When I came down just now, I already sent a message to my superiors. Reinforcements will be faster than expected. If there is a character that we can't deal with in a while, leave immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight!"
"Okay!" Shen Bai agreed. This metal tunnel is too long, and the money and resources it consumes are terrifying. There must be some incredible people behind it.
It's not a shame to run away if you can't fight. In fact, after they entered this corridor, they no longer fell into the category of "investigation" and they overfulfilled their mission.
After another hour of walking, the corridor finally reached the end, and an inexplicable light appeared in front of them. At this time, they had walked at least five kilometers and were about 200 meters above the ground. There was already the smell of water vapor in the air.
Although they could not tell the direction in the corridor, because there were no turning places, Shen Bai and Li Xiaorui were absolutely sure that they had left the urban area of Fushui City.
"Come on, let me see what's behind..."
Shen Bai murmured softly and took the lead to walk towards the end of the corridor.
The rather dazzling light made him squint his eyes slightly. When Shen Bai saw everything around him clearly, he subconsciously took a breath of air.
At the end of the corridor is a huge square.
It is several kilometers long and wide, and about a hundred meters high. The rocks are covered with unknown black metal, and there are bright searchlights every other meter. The light intersects, making this huge space as bright as day.
A huge creature was lying on the square. It looked like a whale, about a kilometer long, and its exhalation hole was wider than a building. Every time it exhaled, it could bring out a lot of water vapor, but it looked dying and about to die.
Countless transparent rubber tubes were inserted into the body of this huge creature, and there were dried blue blood stains inside. Apparently, in some previous days, the blood of the giant creature was transported through the tubes to the rock wall behind the black metal. Know where it's shipped.
Shen Bai forced a smile, pointed at the dying giant creature, and said softly:
"Brother Rui, this creature should be a war-level beast, the Tide Breaking Whale! Do you know what this means..."
Li Xiaorui looked pale and nodded reluctantly.
As a native citizen of Lanhai City, he naturally knew that there was a strange natural disaster in Fushui City, a second-level city affiliated with Lanhai City.
That is, every few years, the area here will be harassed by the war-level mutant beast [Tide Breaking Whale]. The pattern is difficult to find, but most scholars now believe that the Tide Breaking Whale appears near Fushui City.
Because this is one of their several natural mating spots.
When they reach a certain age, female whales will spread pheromones to attract males of the same species to complete earth-shattering mating.
Of course, this process is accompanied by pain, so after both parties are finished, they often vent their anger to several surrounding cities, causing disasters.
For people in the Blue Ocean City Group, this has become commonplace. The Federation will deploy warriors and apocalypse to suppress the Tide Breaking Whale.
But if someone with ulterior motives captures a female Breaker Whale, locks her underground, and forces her to release pheromones, it will attract a large number of males and cause unrest!
The end point of the blood drawn by these transparent tubes must be the underground river, and the scent of the female Breaker Whale is transmitted through the flow of water.
And more than a month ago... the turmoil of the Broken Wave Whale happened to occur in Fushui City, and Li Xiaorui's immediate boss Ye Chengzan came to support him as a martial arts master.
Shen Bai on the side was thinking more. He knew that in March, a riot by the Tidal Wave Whales occurred in Fushui City, and the two martial arts masters guarding the Fifth Academy's convoy came here to support. At that time, a member of the Zhang family
The consumptive employee coughed up blood, causing the child-shaped aberration to wake up and crawl out of the convoy.
Are all these connected together?
Who...is behind this huge plan?
"Xiao Bai, leave quickly! The things here are too big for us to interfere with!" Li Xiaorui growled, pulling Shen Bai towards the passage.
However, before they could take a few steps, a figure blocked the passage.
She has a graceful figure and a pretty face. She wears black-rimmed glasses and her face is full of fun.
——It’s Yang Yiyun!
Shen Bai and Li Xiaorui stopped and looked at the beautiful woman in front of them cautiously.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Snow White Emperor, Evil Flower Gentleman, if you ask me, your talents as cowherds are indeed good. It's a pity that you are going to die here today."
Her voice was gentle and pleasant, but Shen and Bai both felt like poisonous spiders crawling onto their bodies. There were too many unknown dangers in this underground space that hid huge secrets.
Li Xiaorui took a deep breath and said seriously:
"Boss Yang, just for the sake of getting acquainted, let's capture him without any effort."
"Oh?" Yang Yiyun chuckled:
"You're just going to settle on me like this?"
"Yes, I've got you." Shen Bai suddenly said, staring at her closely:
"The guy next to me and I are both at the Bone Burning Realm warrior level, but you... intelligence shows that you have been practicing hard for many years before you can break through to the Warrior Realm!"
Yang Yiyun nodded and agreed with his statement, but she didn't panic at all, and instead took the initiative to walk towards them.
"You are right. My vitality index is only 10.2, and my fighting talent is not high. I am indeed no match for you...if I hadn't met [that adult]."
That adult?
Shen Bai's heart moved, and when he wanted to ask again, Yang Yiyun had no patience and said softly:
"Forget it, you two dying people don't need to know too much. Anyway, you will die here and no one will ever know what happened."
