Chapter 415: It Knows Too Much!
As expected of ace coattails.
Even though Li Yingzi and Luo Wu had never witnessed Gao Ye’s destructive ultrasonic attack before, the moment Meng Chao gave them a warning, they reacted instinctively.
Both of them were not superhumans who were agile and moved like phantoms. Instead, they were the type to clash with enemies head-on with unrivaled valor.
The griffin above Li Yingzi’s head opened its wings. Its temperature and brightness rose, and it rose in front of her like a burning shield.
Luo Wu released a thunderous roar and brought his saber up. He took a heavy step forward and rushed at the invisible ultrasonic wave to deliver a vicious slash that could even slay dragons and tigers.
The ultrasonic wave was like a tornado, but it was cut into pieces by the two coattails.
Gao Ye’s huge body started trembling viciously, and bodily fluids came out of his wounds. His body shrank rapidly.
The spirit flames from the two powerful superhumans immediately bypa.s.sed him and went straight for the Demonic Abyss Eye to burn the future Supernatural Ent.i.ty that had yet to fully mature until it was badly battered. It screeched, and its tentacles started dancing madly, as if they were electrocuted.
Both of them snorted and wanted to give chase, but the Demonic Abyss Eye shrank rapidly, like a heart that was stimulated. It released a screech that was even more piercing than the destructive ultrasonic waves.
Its screeches were a command.
In an instant, all the pests lurking around in the abandoned train station looked like they had been injected with stimulants that were ten times stronger than the regular amount. Then, with a momentum to burn their lives willingly for the sake of dragging the two superhumans down with them, they surged at Li Yingzi and Luo Wu like a tidal wave.
A large number of Nightmarish Beasts and h.e.l.l Beasts were among the insects.
h.e.l.l Beasts might not be able to compare to humans in intelligence, but they could still hold down the people who were at the same level as they were for a while.
This was especially so when they received a fatal blow and were at the verge of death. At such moments, they chose to self-destruct and fire a large amount of acid and venom at their enemy. It was as if they had the awareness that even though they could not kill the superhumans, they could still disgust them by doing such stuff.
No matter how strong Li Yingzi and Luo Wu were, when they faced tens of Nightmarish Beasts and h.e.l.l Beasts, they were still dragged into a b.l.o.o.d.y melee. They had a hard time freeing themselves to chase after the mastermind.
The Demonic Abyss Eye immediately called Gao Ye to run into the depths of the tunnel.
“Meng Chao, are you okay?” Lu Siya led the Vulcan Commandos in slaughtering their way out of the violent giant insects to Meng Chao and the human hostages hanging upside down.
“I’m fine. Hurry up and save Professor Lu and the others,” Meng Chao said. “Are there other reinforcements coming?”
“Of course.” Lu Siya commanded a squad of Vulcan Commandos to surround them and kill all the giant insects that were rushing at them eagerly.
The other squad of commandos swung their sabers to cut off the st.u.r.dy spider threads that kept the humans hanging upside down.
“I’ve already notified the captain,” she said. “The Deity Realm superhumans are going to arrive very soon, including Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue. I was worried that if you stayed too long underground, something might go wrong, so I asked Ms. Li and Master Luo to be the vanguard.
“I didn’t expect that you would really be able to find Professor Lu. It’s another major achievement!”
“Achievement or not, we’ll talk when the sun is up. Now, we must catch Gao Ye and the Demonic… the mastermind’s tail.” Meng Chao gritted his teeth and stood up. “I’m going to chase after them!”
“No way, you’re still going?” Lu Siya was about to sink into despair.
Why had she never realized that Meng Chao loved rushing to his own death so much?
“We’ve been fighting against them for an entire night. If they run away just like that, I won’t be able to accept it!” Meng Chao said with bloodshot eyes. “I know that there’s a huge gap in strength between me and them, but now, Gao Ye and the mastermind are both at their weakest. They’re tired and heavily injured.
“This is a G.o.d-given chance. If we miss it, it won’t be easy to catch them again. Besides, the Deity Realm superhumans are about to arrive. so I don’t need to kill them. All I need to do is to hold them back!”
Meng Chao decided that he would gamble one more time.
But it was not just because of whether he was willing to accept the fact that they ran away or not. It was also because he and the Demonic Abyss Eye had exchanged information mentally just now.
He was not sure whether the Demonic Abyss Eye had only one-sidedly implanted information in his mind or whether it had also retrieved some knowledge from his head.
He was not certain whether the nightmare of the apocalypse had been completely read by the Demonic Abyss Eye, either.
Of course, even if the scene of the apocalypse was completely read by the Demonic Abyss Eye, it might not know that this was something that had a high chance of happening in the future and was not just pure imagination.
But Meng Chao did not dare to take the risk.
The White Spirit had been modified artificially.
Gao Ye also showed a lot of signs of being artificially modified in a biochemical lab.
The Demonic Abyss Eye showed great understanding of human society, so it was difficult to say whether it had not been modified in a similar manner.
In other words, it was highly likely that the Nine Great Supernatural Ent.i.ties were modified beings. They were not the leaders of the monster civilization.
The true leader of the monster civilization might be something whose strength and intelligence far surpa.s.sed those of the Supernatural Ent.i.ties.
Even if the Demonic Abyss Eye could not understand anything valuable from the apocalyptic images it found in Meng Chao’s mind, the leader who created the Nine Great Supernatural Ent.i.ties for the monster civilization would definitely be able to a.n.a.lyze it much better.
It might not be able to guess that Meng Chao had returned from the future, but even if it began to treat Meng Chao as some sort of seer, that would be really troublesome.
If he were treated as a key target for the monster civilization just like Professor Lu Tianxing, how could he comfortably go to lectures, live his life, cultivate, and contribute to Dragon City?
Hence, Meng Chao only had one choice.
He had to kill the Demonic Abyss Eye.
It knew too much!
“Trust me, I can hold them back. I MUST hold them back!” Meng Chao looked at Lu Siya. Even he did not realize just how bright was the light in his eyes.
Lu Siya took a step back instinctively, and she was not the only one. Even the Vulcan Commandos, who had received the harshest training from Sky Pillar Corporation, were built with real money invested into them, and had stronger fighting power than the special forces of the army could sense an oppressive power rolling out of Meng Chao. That was why they instinctively stepped back.
“You…” Lu Siya was stunned once more. She mumbled, “Is it my imagination? Why do I think that you’re even stronger than before? This is the third time tonight that you became stronger!”
“…” Meng Chao knew that this was not Lu Siya’s imagination.
He had indeed become stronger three times during the long night.
The first time was in the underwater tunnel. When he crawled into the Ultimate Sandworm’s clone and the Destroyer howled, he slaughtered it and achieved a full understanding of all that he cultivated over the past year, which led to him unleashing it perfectly.
The second time was when he rushed into n.o.ble Descent Hotel. When he was at the verge of death, he held the Type 45 AA submachine gun and after that danced around the battlefield slaughtering his way out from among monsters, zombies, and the undead. Then, he healed himself with contribution points. The excess healing allowed him to reach the limits of the peak of Earth Realm.
The two times strengthened his body.
The third time was when the Demonic Abyss Eye used its unique ability to stimulate the Apocalypse Version Meng Chao sleeping in the depths of his mind. This unleashed a destructive mental power that surpa.s.sed all those in the current era.
Right then, Meng Chao might not be considered a real super first-cla.s.s fighter, but he had the presence of a super first-cla.s.s fighter firmly in his grasp.
This presence intimidated Lu Siya and the Vulcan Commandos, causing them to be unable to reject Meng Chao’s request.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Once they saved all the hostages, the Vulcan Commandos trained their guns at the mouth of the tunnel, where Gao and the Demonic Abyss Eye had fled, and fired.
Perhaps it was because the last command given by the Demonic Abyss Eye was to focus on Li Yingzi and Luo Wu, so there were not a lot of giant insects that pounced on the Vulcan Commandos.
Very soon, they cleared a path filled with blood and mangled flesh.
Meng Chao casually snapped off a few Golden Scythe’s mandibles. He secured them at his waist and borrowed a shoulder-mounted M61 Vulcan and an ammunition bag with a flexible ammunition belt from a Vulcan Commando. There were eight napalm bombs attached to the ammunition bag, and they were the best weapons to deal with an insect swarm.
Once he was armed to the teeth again, Meng Chao’s spirits lifted. He ran into the tunnel.
The remaining insects finally decided to seal off the tunnel, but they were stopped by the Vulcan Commandos, who formed an arc-shaped defense line.
Li Yingzi and Luo Wu also realized Meng Chao’s intentions.
They were both held back by a few h.e.l.l Beasts, so they could not join him, so they activated their spirit flames to attract more insects to their side to reduce the pressure they put on Meng Chao’s group.
Meng Chao jumped into the tunnel.
He heard heavy footsteps behind him.
It was Lu Siya.
Meng Chao frowned a little, but said nothing.
He knew that it was impossible for him to persuade Lu Siya from this mission, just like how it was impossible for her to persuade him to stay back.
Together they searched for Gao Ye and the Demonic Abyss Eye’s tracks.
Fortunately, after tracking Gao Ye’s clone for more than ten days, they had acc.u.mulated a lot of experience, so they were really sensitive to the Ultimate Sandworm’s scent.
Besides, Gao Ye and the Demonic Abyss Eye were hurt by Li Yingzi and Luo Wu, so a lot of bodily fluids dripped out of their wounds.
It allowed Meng Chao and Lu Siya to easily find a hole leading downwards at the end of the abandoned tunnel.
They were deep underground, so communication signals were often interrupted.
On the way, both of them marked their path so that Li Yingzi, Luo Wu, and the Vulcan Commandos could rush over once they got rid of the insects stopping them in the abandoned train station.
The two went into the hole without hesitation.
It seemed like the area ahead had collapsed, and the path was sealed shut, but this was not a problem for Lu Siya. She had already mastered the ability to change stones, and soon, she opened a sand path among the shattered stones.
When they crawled through the collapsed tunnel, the b.l.o.o.d.y scent and foul stench in the air became stronger.
The amount of bodily fluids on the floor also became thicker.
Suddenly, both of them felt the area under their feet become really soft. It was as if they had stepped into a swamp.
No. It was not a swamp. They were stepping on red folds covered in fine hair. They were squirming around in a really strange rhythm.
Both of them were shocked. They looked up and found that at some point in time, the tunnel had become covered in squirming folds, and a lot of foul-smelling blood plasma oozed out of them.
It was as if they were not underground, but inside some demon.
“It’s an illusion!” Meng Chao instantly understood their situation. “The Demonic Abyss Eye is nearby!”
