Is that the reason? Black Na couldn’t help being a bit startled…
“It doesn’t sound right… Or perhaps, have their bodies undergone so mutations?” she pondered and asked.
The noise Black Na referred to was precisely the footsteps of those “Giant Faces” that had passed by earlier. If they were of human size, the sound would not likely be so faint…
“Speaking of which, don’t you think this mucus is similar to what you’d find on aquatic animals?” Li Yalin suddenly chid in at that mont. She had reached the fence and lightly touched it with her fingertips.
Although her description was vague, Nana quickly caught on and exclaid with a realization, “Senior Sister ans… they are evolving towards aquatic forms, right? Like maintaining a human-like body shape, but actually having hands and feet transford into fins… It makes sense, after all, we are surrounded by water here. It’s hard to stay subrged in water in human form, right? But well, we don’t really need to think about it too much now, the focus is still on exploring. Let’s hurry.”
Nana urged.
At the sa ti she spoke, Black Na had already taken control and plunged into the water, leading the way through the fence…
The water was murky, and so things originally hidden at the bottom of the pool were stirred up. So when Xia Na and Li Yalin appeared by the large pool after the Fusion, the scene they saw was completely different.
Dark pool water, a visible layer of black fog, and everywhere there were swirls and splashes…
And as they appeared, the pool imdiately underwent a subtle change… More bubbles and ripples appeared on the dark water surface. It seed as though many creatures were stirring beneath.
Seeing this, Xia Na only lifted her Scythe, chuckling twice and said, “Alright, let’s see what Ling-Ge has left us as an encore. The big Monsters are drawn away by Ling-Ge, so we can handle these little monsters. By the ti those Monsters return, they’re surely going to be pleased with their new ho. Hehe…”
Her words were fraught with murderous intent, and the pool seed to respond, suddenly making a “plop” sound.
“Tsk tsk. They’ve sensed us, huh?” Xia Na said nonchalantly.
Though Xia Na still looked like a girl, the aura she exuded was entirely different now. Even with her innocent face, it couldn’t hide the terrifying beastly aura emanating from her. Unlike a typical beast, Xia Na’s eyes conveyed both mockery and excitent, but also a hint of cold rationale-two completely opposing emotions mingled within her, adding an eerie vibe…
The sudden burst of aura changed the atmosphere of the entire pool instantly, and this kind of deterrence, powerful enough to intimidate, was sothing these underground Monsters lacked. However, this distinction was sothing even Xia Na herself hadn’t realized…
“Hmm!” Compared to Xia Na, Li Yalin’s reaction was much more straightforward… She flicked her long hair, and a circle of amber color quickly spread from her pupils while she teasingly licked her lips. “Ti to have so fun…”
“That sounds weird…”
“Does it? Then… shall we enjoy ourselves?”
“That kind of gangster tone wasn’t taught by … But Yalin can try it on Ling-Ge, he’ll definitely be surprised…”
…
“They should be fine, right?”
Ling Mo cautiously controlled the Zombie Puppet, yet he couldn’t help but worry about the two Female Zombies.
However, his attention was soon drawn to a trace that appeared around a corner. It was inconspicuous, but for Ling Mo, who had been closely observing the walls and the ground, it was crucial…
“This is…”
Ling Mo stared at the spot where the moss was missing and then pressed his hand against it.
It was a fresh abrasion… But to be wiped so thoroughly, it must be the corrosive power of those “Giant Faces”…
“Why do I feel like their abilities are getting stronger?” Ling Mo frowned and turned his head back towards the passage, thinking.
He had seen several such marks before, but like this one, where even the layer of mud on the wall was “wiped” off, and even the concrete layer was scraped off, had only appeared now…
“It feels different… Could it be because they reached the shore?”
Although the passage was filled with silt, it was still quite different from a real body of water… If they had undergone so changes due to this, it would at least prove one thing-Ling Mo’s previous guess was sowhat inaccurate. These Monsters were not amphibious, to be precise, they were still in the process of striving towards that direction… and the intrusion of Ling Mo and others inadvertently accelerated this process, but the results of sudden evolution might not necessarily be good…
“If that’s the case, as they continue forward, they are also significantly weakening themselves…” Ling Mo thought.
He turned his head again towards the direction where the monsters had disappeared, then mused, “If they reacted a little quicker, they would have noticed that I’m not in front of them by now… But they have been chasing without any suspicion for so long… Wait! From their previous behavior, they clearly possess so Intelligence… which ans, they might not be unaware, but due to so other reasons, they didn’t turn back… What could it be?”
“Could there be… another path leading to that pool?” Ling Mo quickly thought of this possibility.
The sewer was crisscrossed with a mix of old and new pipes from the construction process… The pool might not just have one entrance and exit, and other gathering places for the monsters were the sa…
“It wouldn’t be hard to verify this, just…”
As Ling Mo was contemplating, Xu Shuhan’s deliberately lowered voice suddenly reached his ear.
“Be careful, we’re almost there.” She whispered almost inaudibly.
But in such a highly tense situation, let alone her words, even the faintest breath could be clearly heard by him and Yuwen Xuan. Especially Ling Mo… As they approached, his psychic tentacles were more and more prepared. Who knew what kind of Monster might appear in such a place…
At this mont, hearing Xu Shuhan’s alert, both he and Yuwen Xuan were slightly shaken…
