It was a huge, empty room.
In the middle of the room was a circular platform with a radius of about ten meters. The platform was made of a dark blue substance whose material could not be identified. Xie Xuan climbed out of a ditch about one meter wide and two meters deep surrounding the platform. When she walked up, she found that there was not a single crack on the entire platform, as if it were a complete whole.
The room was about ten meters high, and a light source coming from nowhere barely illuminated the entire space.
Because it was too empty, any little sound here would be amplified infinitely. After the slight sound of the spider struggling in the water in the ditch quickly disappeared, the only sound left here was Xie Xuan's own footsteps.
Everything was eerily quiet, and the air was filled with the unpleasant smell of an unknown liquid flowing out of Dr. Song's laboratory.
But other than that, Xie Xuan couldn't sense any other aura.
Xie Xuan estimated her current position. She had been falling from Dr. Song's laboratory for about a minute, and at her speed, she had fallen at least ten meters.
The problem now was how she would get back to the surface from here.
Probably because there were laboratories all around and the signals here were blocked, she couldn't contact Chongming and Yu Wu.
She didn't know how they were progressing. In comparison, their mission was much more dangerous than hers.
Xie Xuan walked around the entire circular platform looking for clues, but the surrounding walls and the ground were tightly sealed. Apart from a few openings that looked like the pipes Xie Xuan had taken when she came down, there seemed to be no other exits.
But it was impossible for the ecological organization to build such a huge space underground to store experimental waste. Xie Xuan walked a few more steps and suddenly stopped.
She felt something was watching her.
Logically speaking, gazes have no substance, but Xie Xuan felt that this gaze was like something sticky and cold pressing on her.
It was even colder than her special ability, like some kind of harmless malice that made her involuntarily feel fear and chills.
This is pure malice. It is like a collection of human malice, hating everything in the world for no reason, including Xie Xuan who has now intruded into its territory.
At this time, Xie Xuan finally understood what this place was used for. It was used to raise monsters.
A transparent, gigantic monster was clinging to the roof and looking at her.
Not only was it looking at her, the monster was touching it. The sticky and cold thing Xie Xuan felt was something like the monster's tentacles.
Xie Xuan swung the dagger without thinking and chopped it up. When the blade fell, a little black line was briefly revealed at the cut area, as if a rotten water chestnut was cut.
But after the blade passed, the black line at the cut quickly disappeared.
Xie Xuan could feel that something had indeed been cut off and fallen to the ground, but when she tried to feel it again, she could no longer feel it.
Even now, the entire monster lurking on the roof has a very weak breath. It does not seem like an infected object simply created by the infection of the fungus, because there is almost no breath of the fungus on its body.
However, Xie Xuan estimated that her attack did not work on the monster, but she successfully attracted the monster's attention.
When Xie Xuan released her special ability, a huge force directly knocked her away.
Xie Xuan only had time to wrap his back with mycelium before he was knocked against the wall by this huge force.
In an instant, she felt as if all her internal organs were displaced and her whole body was in severe pain. Almost all her bones were broken.
Even the hard wall was smashed into a shallow hole by Xie Xuan.
When Xie Xuan fell from the wall, the transparent monster's next attack was already in front of Xie Xuan.
But this time the shadow had turned into a giant and stopped the monster's attack.
Originally, Xie Xuan thought that the monster was not an infected creature, nor was it composed of pure life force, so Shadow might not have an advantage against it.
But surprisingly, the shadow was able to fight the monster back and forth, as if they were real creatures existing in the same dimension.
"Cough, cough." Xie Xuan had just been bitten all over by a group of spiders. He had just regenerated and now he was thrown down with all his body broken.
The supernatural power is consumed for free. When Xie Xuan completed his regeneration, Shadow had already used his body to make the monster reveal its original form.
The monster wrapped in black shadows looks like a giant deep-sea octopus. It has long tentacles and its head is a huge sphere like a hot air balloon.
And now the sphere was shrinking violently as if in extreme anger.
Xie Xuan even felt that it would spit out black ink in the next second.
The huge black shadow was like a giant fighting for power with a deep-sea monster. Their fight gave Xie Xuan an opportunity to continue looking for clues to leave here.
But just as Xie Xuan was getting away from the battlefield without a trace, he suddenly felt someone appear behind him.
Suddenly, a completely unfamiliar presence broke into the room.
No, it was not completely unfamiliar. Xie Xuan felt a familiar aura from this figure, like the supernatural aura of Yu Wu and Chongming.
Xie Xuan's heart sank suddenly. She turned around and a masked figure appeared in her sight.
The other person was wearing the blue and white uniform of the Ecological Organization, but on his face was a mask that only members of Paradise Lost would wear.
Moreover, this mask was different from the plain mask that Xie Xuan had seen outside the wall. In addition to the two holes that revealed the eyes, there was also a pair of marks that looked like those of a young cow or sheep.
Xie Xuan and the others had previously guessed that the Ecological Organization and Lost Paradise would cooperate, but they didn't expect that their cooperation had reached such a deep level. Perhaps the current Ecological Organization could actually be renamed the Ecological Organization Lost Paradise version.
The people from the ecological organization didn't say anything, but just looked at Xie Xuan quietly.
Xie Xuan was a little unsure of the other party's attitude, but the fact that he appeared here now couldn't be that he was here to save her.
Xie Xuan decided to strike first.
She held the dagger in her backhand and swung it at the masked man, but the masked man did not dodge or evade, allowing her to quickly close the distance between them.
When the blade was about to touch the mask, Xie Xuan suddenly met the eyes on the mask.
In the dim light, the pair of purple-black eyes in the holes of the mask were exceptionally clear.
In the middle of the eyes was a vertical pupil like a snake. When these eyes caught Xie Xuan's eyes, they also caught Xie Xuan's mind.
