Large amounts of dust and broken tiles fell from above.

Ye Li steadied himself and looked at the area where the energy bomb had exploded.

That area is now empty.

A huge gap appeared on the vine, and countless black and red sticky substances were slowly wriggling, trying to repair the gap.

The surrounding spines cleverly avoided that area and pounced from elsewhere.

"There's hope!"

Ye Li murmured something to himself, then turned to look at Bai Yuekui and the little stone monkey, shouting, "Old Bai, Wukong, cover me!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Li raised the Barrett again, aimed at the vines, and pulled the trigger.

This time, he increased his energy output slightly.

"boom!"

An explosion was heard.

The spine-borne worms in that area were also blown to pieces.

After repeating this process several times, the number of spiny worms on the ground vines decreased significantly.

Only a few scattered ones are still climbing upwards.

However, they dared not rush forward; instead, they seemed to be fleeing for their lives.

Ye Li raised his gun and fired two shots at the fleeing spine worms.

Ultimately, it was because those spinal worms moved too quickly to be completely eliminated.

Let's go!

Bai Yuekui threw the rifle back to Ye Li and continued jumping down to the -26th floor.

-27...

-28...

...

The group descended to the bottom, level -33, without encountering any further danger.

Upon reaching the 33rd basement level, a deep passageway comes into view.

Thick vines occupied most of the passageway, leaving only a narrow space on each side, just wide enough for one person to pass through.

The walls were covered with blue plants that emitted a faint blue light, which significantly reduced the surrounding red mist.

"careful!"

Bai Yuekui gave a soft reminder, then walked into the passage without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Li quickly pulled her back.

Then I took out the Barrett and tried aiming it inside.

This time, red dots finally appeared in the scope, a total of 7, less than 400 meters ahead of the passage.

After confirming the situation, Ye Li looked at the little stone monkey and said with a smile, "Wukong, lead the way!"

"Chirp, chirp?"

—What? Aren't monkeys' lives lives too?

The little stone monkey cried out excitedly, its face full of resentment.

"I'll treat you to bananas when we get back!"

Ye Li patted the little stone monkey's head and smiled enticingly.

"Chirp chirp!"

--cut!

The little stone monkey crossed its arms, closed its eyes with a disdainful expression, and even turned its head to the side, completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Ye Li shook his head helplessly, then gently tapped the little stone monkey's head and said softly, "Never mind, I'll stay in front!"

After saying that, he strode forward.

Ye Li is protected by a mythical-grade dragon scale armor, so even if he encounters any danger, it will not cause him much harm.

Soon, led by Ye Li, the group arrived at a spacious room.

The entire room seemed to be made up of countless machines.

More than 100 robots were writhing in the room.

These robots seemed to be malfunctioning, their movements stiff and contorted.

The movement was so uncoordinated that it seemed rather eerie.
