439: Chapter 439: Entering the Ruins 439: Chapter 439: Entering the Ruins “Boom.” After a muffled sound, an electric shock torpedo was fired from the side of the submarine, heading straight towards the head of the giant octopus.
Everyone was staring at the torpedo, not even daring to take a deep breath.
“It hit.” Nightmare shouted, as the torpedo hit the octopus’s brain directly.
It carried a trendous electric current, which could cause serious injury to a living creature.
After being hit, the octopus’s body trembled non-stop; the electric shock was taking effect.
“Look, its tentacles are loosening.” Soul Destroyer, looking through the probe, clearly saw the octopus’s tentacles snap open, and Submarine Two regained power.
“Submarine Two, get out of here now; the octopus isn’t dead yet.” Ye Shikai didn’t relax at all, and he imdiately ordered through the headset.
“Yes, sir.” The voice of Submarine Two’s pilot ca through, as the propeller started spinning rapidly, heading in the direction of the White Hole.
“Boom, boom.”
“Submarine One, our stern has been struck by the giant octopus.
We need support.” At this mont, Submarine Two sent out another distress call, as the previous electric shock seed to have infuriated the octopus.
Its long tentacles, like whips, violently struck Submarine Two’s stern, and it seed like even the propeller had been hit.
“Keep firing electric shock torpedoes, aim the searchlight at the octopus, and draw its attention over here.” Ye Shikai imdiately ordered.
“Yes, sir.” The pilot aid and fired another torpedo, while shining the light at the octopus’s body.
It’s unclear whether it was prepared this ti or for so other reason, but the giant octopus cleverly dodged the torpedo this ti.
It moved its eight tentacles and lunged at Submarine One.
“Hey, Hades, I didn’t co here to die with you.” At this mont, Aphrodite ca from behind, complaining dissatisfiedly.
Although they were allies, it didn’t an she wanted to die.
“Shut up.” Ye Shikai turned his head and yelled, which left Aphrodite stunned for a mont.
When she ca back to her senses, she just huffed and angrily sat down at the back.
“My lord, let put on my equipnt and kill it.” Seeing the situation, Nightmare imdiately asked Ye Shikai for permission, already grabbing an oxygen tank and preparing to put on a diving suit.
“No, no one is allowed to go out.” Ye Shikai shouted.
Although Nightmare was powerful, as a cultivator, he could fight against such a huge creature.
However, this was deep underwater; the resistance of the sea would severely affect Nightmare’s movents.
This place was disadvantageous to him but advantageous to the giant octopus.
Moreover, if Nightmare were to be defeated, the chances of survival would be almost zero.
“Aphrodite, use your Illusion Technique now, and hide the entire submarine.” Ye Shikai, as if having an epiphany, imdiately went to Aphrodite and said.
“You, have you gone mad?
I have only used Illusion Technique on people, and it’s not applicable to animals.” Aphrodite shouted loudly.
Though she was a bit unhappy with Ye Shikai’s attitude earlier, the situation was dire, and she had no desire to throw a tantrum.
“Why not try and see?” Ye Shikai retorted while she appeared hesitant.
“Do it now, imdiately, or we’ll surely die.” Ye Shikai grabbed Aphrodite and pulled her to the front.
“Fine, fine, I’ll try.” Aphrodite made several hand gestures, and rainbow-colored light emitted from between her hands.
“Goddess of Beauty Spell—Illusion Technique.” Aphrodite murmured, and Ye Shikai was sowhat astounded.
A re Illusion Technique could also be a Main God Skill; it seed this Aphrodite was far from as simple as he had imagined.
And in the next mont, sothing happened that took everyone by surprise.
The giant octopus suddenly stopped and looked around.
The submarine was right in front of it, yet it seed as blind as a bat, unable to see it.
“Slowly head towards the white hole without alarming it,” Ye Shikai realized.
It was Aphrodite’s illusion technique at work.
Seizing this opportunity, they could quickly get away.
The octopus wasn’t blind to the submarine because the submarine wasn’t there, but because the illusion technique obscured its eyes, making it lose its target.
“We are approaching the white hole,” reported the pilot.
Ye Shikai felt a bright light in front of him and instinctively shielded his eyes…
…………………..
“Where is this place?” the people opened their eyes.
Due to the bright light, it took them a while to adjust.
Rubbing their eyes, they looked around.
“Sir, we are not underwater,” the pilot said in surprise.
“What, what’s going on here?” Ye Shikai was shocked after hearing this and found through the glass they were not at the bottom of the sea but seemingly on land.
Stepping out of the submarine, they slowly walked out to a vast, yet dilapidated palace city.
Ruins and huge stones were everywhere.
This was clearly an ancient city where, most critically, there was no seawater.
It was like land with oxygen, sunlight, everything.
“I didn’t expect the ruins to be like this.
I brought my diving equipnt for nothing.”
“Right, what about Submarine Two?” Soul Destroyer suddenly called out.
Everyone looked around.
The desolate ground was as empty as the wilderness, only wild grass and trees, no sign of a submarine.
“Illusion Fox, Demoness, Black Rhinoceros were all on that submarine,” Nightmare, usually calm, beca anxious.
Illusion Fox was his woman, and now she was nowhere to be found.
What were they supposed to do?
“Don’t get too worried just yet,” Aphrodite ca over and said calmly, “This ruin can be understood as a dinsion, and the white hole we encountered earlier is the connection between two spaces.”
“Submarine Two surely entered this ruin, but the landing location is random, aning they are fine, just temporarily out of contact with us,” Aphrodite explained.
“Right, don’t we have locating watches?
Turn them on and have a look,” Ye Shikai suddenly rembered.
Worm had made these watches for them, perhaps the position was still marked on them.
“Is the watch malfunctioning?
Why isn’t it displaying anything?” Nightmare imdiately picked up his watch, but the screen was just dark, showing nothing.
“I have the sa issue, it’s not displaying anything.”
“ too.”
………..
Everyone exchanged glances.
Could it be that the watches had failed?
Ye Shikai had faith in Worm’s technology.
Even if blasted by an explosion, the watch shouldn’t break, so the only explanation was…
This place wasn’t Earth, yet in a way, it was Earth; more precisely, it was a parallel world.
The most important thing right now was to find them, find Ji Qian, and then return to the real world through the spatial connection.
