The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 687 Reunion with the People of Lingyu Island

The two bypassed the ravine and quickly swam to higher ground.

Not long after, Ye Nan suddenly stopped and said urgently, "Mr. Liang, it's there!"

He pointed to a pile of stones on a hillside not far away across the street.

But on the hillside, seaweed grew densely and coral reefs stood tall.

There are clearly collapsed stones and cracked rocks, indicating that an exceptionally fierce battle once took place here.

Ye Nan pointed to that spot and said, "When we escaped from the giant tortoise, this was the first place the island lord led us to."

"However, we were attacked by a mutated monster fish as soon as we got here."

"That strange fish looked like a rock, like a grouper, but it was many times larger than a grouper, at least ten meters long."

"It was lying next to the rock, its camouflage was perfect. One of our people accidentally stepped on it and it ate him in one bite."

Recalling the terrifying scene, Ye Nan couldn't help but show lingering fear on his face.

"And then?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Ling'er Island Master wanted to control that monster, but she didn't expect that this mutated monster would have such high mental attributes."

"The island lord suffered a backlash the first time he used his spirit control ability on it."

"Fortunately, Dr. Jiang intervened in time, and the island lord led us to immediately disappear underground from here."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately said, "If you've escaped underground, how did you manage to set up camp there?"

"After descending underground from here, we soon came to a fleshy substance, which prevented us from diving any further. So the island lord led us around the area again, and we finally found a path leading to the Bloodline Road inside the Abyss Island."

Do you still remember the entrance to that bloodline path?

“Yes, we’ve always used that entrance before, I remember it very well,” Ye Nan quickly replied.

Liang Yuan said, "I'll take you down using earth magic, and you can show me the way."

"it is good."

The two immediately used earth magic to enter the underground again.

This layer of soil wasn't deep, only about ten meters, but Liang Yuan felt that he had already reached the flesh and blood layer of the island.

“Mr. Liang, I remember that we found the entrance near a layer of tissue that had a metallic texture.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

Is it flesh and blood tissue made of metallic substances?

He led Ye Nan to search the nearby underground.

About half an hour later, Liang Yuan found the entrance that Ye Nan had mentioned.

But the entrance was a hole about five or six meters in diameter.

The entrance to the cave had long been blocked by mud, making it difficult to enter unless one was an earth-attribute ability user.

Outside the cave entrance, the cave had already collapsed. After thinking for a moment, Liang Yuan led Ye Nan and quickly fled to the top of the soil.

Back in the water, Liang Yuan looked around and found that it was just an ordinary rocky coral reef, but the spot where he was standing was a huge, obvious depression!

A scene flashed through Liang Yuan's mind.

When this abyssal island behemoth was alive, something pierced its body, causing this wound, which is why the bloodline path leading directly into its body was exposed.

Liang Yuan guessed that it had experienced battle before its death, and this entrance must have been pierced by an external force.

After death, they transformed into floating islands. Over the years, a large amount of sand and soil accumulated on their bodies, eventually becoming unbearable and turning from floating islands into floating islands, and then sinking into the seabed to form abyssal islands.

That's why it's like this now.

Liang Yuan immediately took Ye Nan and sank underground again.

This time, they went straight through the cave entrance and entered the Bloodline Path.

"Phew, finally in!"

After passing through the mud, the two finally appeared in a wide passage.

The passageway was bathed in a dark red glow, creating an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of a horror movie.

Behind them was a pile of damp mud, which had collapsed from above and filled the entire passage.

If one is not a superhuman skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability), it is impossible for them to enter from the outside.

Liang Yuan said to Ye Nan, who was standing next to him, "You're familiar with this place, so you can lead the way from here."

"Hey, come with me."

Ye Nan quickly led the way.

This bloodline path is crisscrossed, and after walking only a few dozen meters, large and small forks appear.

Ye Nan arrived at the fork in the road, looked down, and said, "Mr. Liang, look, these are the 'road signs' we left when we first came in, to prevent us from getting lost."

Sure enough, at the fork in the path of bloodline, there was a charred black arrow.

It looks like it was burned.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "That's good. If we follow the signs, we should be able to find your island lord and the others soon."

Ye Nan smiled and said, "I just hope the island lord and the others are alright."

Next, Ye Nan led the way, circling around this enormous bloodline path.

Before long, they arrived at a relatively open area ahead.

The entire bloodline path suddenly became wider.

Ye Nan whispered, "Mr. Liang, be careful. This is a dangerous place. A group of mutated beasts live here."

Liang Yuan asked, "What kind of mutated beast?"

"Similar to furry, spherical mutant beasts, but they can secrete a large amount of mucus that is highly corrosive."

"Not only that, it will also spray out a large amount of corrosive liquid at once through self-destruction."

"We suffered a considerable loss here back then."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look together."

With that, he activated his shadow ability, turning the two of them into shadows, and quickly stealthily moved out. Soon they entered this spacious area.

The entire space is extremely large, with the entire area sunken down by tens of meters. A large amount of viscous liquid has accumulated inside, forming a large lake.

In the lake, the furry beasts that Ye Nan had mentioned were densely packed, rolling and swimming among them.

Liang Yuan noticed that there were skeletons floating in the lake from time to time, which was extremely horrifying.

"Mr. Liang, please be very careful. These liquids are highly corrosive. If you fall in, you will be instantly corroded into bones," Ye Nan hurriedly warned.

Liang Yuan said, "In the shadow world, these substances cannot harm you or me, so don't worry."

He led Ye Nan directly from the shadows into the lake and swiftly crossed the lake.

Long, black pillars appeared all around, densely packed, like tree trunks, completely bare.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but recall seeing something similar back in the City of Mist.

He was no longer a novice; he had now guessed that this place was most likely the stomach space inside the corpse on Abyss Island.

The liquid inside is probably residual gastric juice.

Those densely packed tree trunks are most likely the fine hairs on the stomach wall.

Those floating corpses were probably parasitic beasts that accidentally fell in and were corroded and digested.

The entire stomach lake is not very large, only a few hundred meters long.

However, Ye Nan reminded him, "Mr. Liang, you don't need to go straight through. We entered a new bloodline path through a side entrance."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan looked around and indeed saw that there were still many passages for the Bloodline Path.

He quickly led Ye Nan into a side passage.

At the entrance to this passage, another arrow sign was found.

The two entered and continued forward, passing through wide and vast bloodline paths, the road ahead becoming increasingly wider.

Before long, a huge space appeared in front of the two of them.

“Mr. Liang, look, this is it. This is where we settled down.”

Ye Nan suddenly pointed to a spot not far from this space, where he saw a pile of tents and other equipment in a space between layers of fleshy walls.

Not only that, but there were also several figures patrolling the area.

Meanwhile, some sentries were stationed on the outskirts, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Ye Nan said excitedly, "Everyone is still here, it seems we haven't encountered any danger."

Liang Yuan immediately led him out of the shadows.

Ye Nan ran eagerly towards the campsite, shouting, "Island Lord! Doctor Jiang! Captain Ling He, I'm back! I'm back!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the people camping there.

Several figures immediately rushed over.

"Ye Nan's voice? Is that you? Ye Nan?"

"Is it really Ye Nan? They've been gone for almost ten days now, haven't they?"

"Listen, it really is Ye Nan's voice!"

"Quick, go and see!"

A crowd gathered around, and soon someone raised a torch, allowing them to see Ye Nan clearly.

"Ye Nan! It really is Ye Nan!"

"Captain Liu, Brother Wang, it really is Ye Nan!"

"Quickly, go and inform the island lord and the others!"

Upon seeing his familiar companions, Ye Nan was immediately overcome with emotion and burst into tears, embracing them and weeping bitterly.

Everyone started asking Ye Nan all at once what had happened during this time.

Before Ye Nan could speak, he heard a series of hurried footsteps.

But then they saw Wang Ling'er wearing a golden crown and a white dress, accompanied by the blonde Jiang Ziyan, the lovely Wang Yu'er, and a tall young man who hurried over.

The young man spoke first, his expression filled with excitement. He stepped forward and hugged Ye Nan tightly, exclaiming, "Xiao Nan! It really is you! You're still alive!"

Ye Nan's eyes also reddened with emotion as he cried out, "Captain Ling, I, sob sob—all my brothers are dead, only Lao Chai, Zhou Fugui, and a few others are left."

Upon seeing his former friends, Ye Nan could no longer contain his grief and burst into tears.

Linghe quickly asked, "What happened? You went out to find food, and you never came back?"

At this moment, Wang Ling'er also came over and asked, "Ye Nan, what exactly happened?"

Ye Nan stopped his grief and choked out, "Island Master, after we went out last time, we followed the cave entrance and came to an ancient tomb, where we encountered a group of merfolk."

“Those merfolk were very powerful. After we were captured by them, we were imprisoned in the dungeon. Fortunately, Mr. Liang rescued us, and that's how Lao Chai and I were able to come back to see you.”

Wang Ling'er's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in surprise, "Who? Who did you meet?"

“Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang Yuan from Yangshan.”

Wang Ling'er was overjoyed, and Jiang Ziyan and Wang Yu'er beside her were also delighted.

"You saw Mr. Liang?"

"Brother Ye Nan, didn't you tell Mr. Liang about our current situation? Didn't he say he would come to rescue us?" Wang Yu'er asked hurriedly.

Jiang Ziyan quickly asked, "Wait, how did you get back?"

She then realized that this was an underwater abyss island, and Ye Nan was just a genetic expert. How did he get back?
Wang Ling'er also realized what was happening, but before she could ask, she heard a figure emerge from the shadows not far behind Ye Nan.

The visitor smiled and said, "Long time no see, everyone."

But Liang Yuan was smiling as he looked at everyone.

In an instant, everyone on Lingyu Island showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Wang Ling'er's eyes reddened, and she suddenly felt a sense of peace.
