"Don't run!"
Seeing that the three-door blue crab was about to escape, Xiao Longzhan panicked and immediately swung the big iron hammer in his hand.
With a 'splat', the crab shell shattered.
Three-door blue crab, dead.
Xiao Longzhan was dumbfounded when he saw the Three Gates Green Crab, which had been torn to pieces after being lightly touched by the big iron hammer.
He didn't use any force, so how did it break?
So its seemingly hard shell is just for show!
o(╥﹏╥)o His flesh!
The tragic death of the three-door blue crab startled the old sea turtle stuck at the entrance of the cave, and its fleshy head disappeared into the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
After the old sea turtle left, no new mutated creatures emerged from the cave.
“Heavy, go take a look.” Shen Su turned to the driver beside him and instructed him.
"yes!"
He drew his dagger heavily, climbed over the defensive wall, and cautiously bypassed the mutated fish and shrimp that were dying from lack of oxygen. Then he squatted down in front of the cave entrance, shining his flashlight down to look down.
It was bottomless, with only the faint sound of rushing water below.
The pungent smell of the sea, carrying the scent of blood, wafted into his nostrils along with the rhythm of the water's splash.
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an did not linger there waiting for the daunting results of the investigation.
The two walked up to the corpse of the three-door blue crab.
Shen Nanxing used the tip of his knife to stir the bits of meat from the Sanmen blue crab and the bodies of other mutated sea creatures.
Five minutes later, he selected a level one crystal core.
Apart from the Sanmen blue crab, none of the other mutated marine creatures have crystal nuclei in their bodies.
"Sister, sister~"
Xiao Longzhan excitedly ran back carrying the five-meter-long tentacle, then placed it at Jiang Nian'an's feet and asked in a voice only the three of them could hear, "Can I put this thing into my spatial storage?"
He had eaten this thing when he was in the space.
My sister said it's some kind of teppanyaki, fragrant and spicy, it's delicious!
Jiang Nian'an didn't answer him immediately, but instead circled the tentacle once.
Upon closer inspection, the tentacles revealed themselves to be enormous octopus tentacles covered with suckers of varying sizes, each with a ring of soft barbs inside.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked down at their feet. So, a giant mutated octopus was living below them?
Shen Nan walked to the cave entrance, dipped his hand in the water, smelled it, and then asked Jiang Nian'an for an empty bottle.
After filling the container with water, he looked at Shen Su, pointed to the cave entrance, and said, "Bury this first."
"Why!"
Upon hearing Shen Nanxing's words, Shen Su was first taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he walked excitedly to the cave entrance.
With a flick of his hand, a yellowish-brown light flashed, the earth trembled, and the cave entrance shrank rapidly before disappearing completely from their sight.
Shen Su turned back, his eyes shining as he looked at Shen Nanxing. "It's buried."
He looked like he was seeking praise.
Shen Nanxing ignored him and simply tossed the bottle of water he was holding to him.
"You and Shen Zhong should go back first, hand this over to your superiors, explain the situation here to them, and send people to investigate the underground area as soon as possible."
Shen Nanxing narrowed his eyes slightly, a dark glint flashing in them. He suspected that the underground, which they couldn't see, was already empty.
If there's a vacuum, then Beijing... might become uninhabitable.
"And what about you?" Shen Su caught the bottle and asked, looking at Shen Nanxing.
"Let's go guard the post and find our leader."
Shen Nanxing glanced into the distance, where flashes of lightning streaked across the sky.
“Then I’ll have Chen Chong take the bottle back, and I’ll go with you.”
Shen Su was about to shove the bottle into Zhong Chen's hand when he spoke.
Shen Nanxing didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.
Seeing this, Shen Su sighed softly and said with great disappointment, "Alright then, I'll go back first."
He lowered his head and walked to the car with Shen Zhong. After opening the car door, he looked back again, still feeling uneasy.
"I'll come back as soon as I finish explaining what's going on here. Be careful, and if anything seems amiss, retreat immediately. Your safety is the most important thing."
Shen Nanxing didn't want to reply, but Jiang Nian'an gently nudged him.
He then nodded to Shen Su, "Understood."
Shen Su saw Jiang Nian'an's actions, and couldn't help but give her a grateful smile before bending down to get into the car.
After Shen Chen drove away, Jiang Nian'an put the octopus tentacles that Xiao Longzhan had been longing for into her spatial storage and placed them by the lake. Then she took out her car.
Let's go!
She felt a vague unease, sensing that something was about to happen at the post.
Shen Nanxing nodded, and after Jiang Nian'an and the others were seated, the car sped off like an arrow.
After they left, the black fox, which had been hiding behind the bushes, carefully got up and ran towards the forest.
He had only run about 100 meters when he stumbled, collapsed to the ground, and died in a very short time.
"Huh?"
The little blood fox jumped to the car window and looked at where the black fox had fallen.
"Little fox, what's wrong?"
Xiao Longzhan followed the little blood fox's gaze and looked behind him, but all he saw was darkness.
The little blood fox tilted its ear and listened again. The wind whistled past, and yellow leaves twirled and fell onto the car window.
The noise it had heard earlier seemed to be just its imagination.
Confusion flashed in the little blood fox's eyes, but it couldn't figure it out, so it turned around and gently shook its head at Xiao Longzhan.
Xiao Longzhan didn't delve into it, withdrew his gaze, used the king as a pillow, and closed his eyes to rest.
He's still a child; staying up late is bad for him.
Half an hour later, a sharp eagle cry rang out across the sky, instantly waking Xiao Longzhan.
