One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

A soft dripping sound suddenly rang out in the darkness deeper within the base.

The sound was exceptionally clear in the empty, desolate underground.

soon.

A rustling sound came from the dark passageway.

The sound was like something being dragged quickly across a surface covered in debris.

Zhang Chulan's hand, which was reaching for the knife, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He lowered his voice:

"Old Qing, did you make a noise?"

“It wasn’t me.” Zhuge Qing’s expression changed slightly.

Wang Ye stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the deep darkness.

Old man Muto was closest to that darkness.

He seemed to see something in the faint light of his peripheral vision, and his cloudy old eyes widened instantly.

The body, which had been trembling with fear, froze completely at that moment.

"Ah...ah!!!"

The old man Muto made a few strange "clucking" sounds from his throat.

It was like being choked, desperately trying to scream but unable to.

next second.

"Hey!"

A dark shadow flashed past the edge of the flashlight beam.

Extremely fast!

Old man Muto was violently pulled into the darkness behind him.

He didn't even have time to let out a complete scream.

midair.

Only a worn-out wooden clog drifted down.

And a glaring splash of blood on the mottled wall.

quiet!

Four beams of light struck the spot where Muto had disappeared.

It was completely empty.

There was no old man's body, and nothing at all.

There was only a long, still steaming trail of blood dragged across the ground.

The bloodstain stretched all the way...

"..."

Zhang Chulan felt his throat was dry.

"Old Wang..." Zhang Chulan's voice was unusually hoarse:

"What was that thing just now?"

"I didn't see it clearly."

Wang Ye slowly took two steps back and stood side by side with Zhuge Qing.

"But it's definitely not a person."

A cold glint flashed in Zhuge Qing's eyes:

"It didn't even give off the slightest aura. If the old man hadn't been so close, we probably wouldn't have even noticed it approaching."

"Zhang Chulan, that old man has been eaten."

Instead of being afraid, she leaned forward a little.

It seemed to want to go into that darkness to find out what was going on.

"Bao'er, stop looking! Curiosity killed the cat!"

Zhang Chulan grabbed Feng Baobao's arm.

This place is so eerie!

Even Bao'er didn't notice it approaching, and they didn't even see how the old man died.

Zhang Chulan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Get out of here! Get out of here quickly! Climb back up the way we came!" Zhang Chulan made a decisive decision.

"go!"

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing did not hesitate at all.

Everyone turned around and ran towards the vertical tunnel they had just seen.

"Rusting..."

The sound of a wet rag mopping the floor rang out again.

And this time, the speed was several times faster than before!

It's chasing!

"Old Qing, stop it!" Wang Ye shouted.

"Chi Lian."

Zhuge Qing didn't even turn his head; he immediately unleashed a fiery tongue.

The intense flames ignited several barrels of waste chemicals at the entrance.

The wall of fire suddenly shot up more than two meters high.

Seal off the entire passageway.

But then a bizarre scene unfolded.

That blazing fire, in the instant it illuminated the darkness.

It felt like I was being deeply inhaled by something.

The flames suddenly curled inward, and the light dimmed abruptly.

The crowd only had time to catch a glimpse of a distorted shadow silhouette amidst the flickering light and shadow.

immediately.

The wall of fire was then completely extinguished.

"This appetite is even bigger than Bao'er's!"

Zhang Chulan slipped away and darted to the bottom of the tomb.

"Sister Bao'er, you go first, I'll cover you from behind."

Feng Baobao used both her hands and feet, like a nimble gecko.

They quickly climbed up the muddy slope.

Zhuge Qing followed closely behind.

Zhang Chulan was about to climb up.

Suddenly I felt a foul-smelling, cold wind coming from behind my heels.

"Oh my god!"

He didn't even look at it.

He swung a palm strike with his backhand, using the momentum to desperately push upwards.

Wang also fell to the very end.

He had only climbed halfway up when he looked down.

The light was very dim at the bottom of the cave.

But he could sense that the thing had reached the cave entrance.

That extremely uncomfortable gaze was rising straight up from the mud hole.

"Want to come up here? Dream on."

Wang Ye gripped the mud wall with one hand while rapidly forming hand seals with the other.

"Kun character - Earth River Chariot!"

"Boom!"

The surrounding soil seemed to come alive under the influence of Qimen Dunjia.

The tunnel that Feng Baobao had dug so neatly was now being squeezed inwards by the soil and rock layers on both sides.

"Not enough! More!"

Wang Ye pushed off with his feet and used the momentum to leap out of the cave.

"The character 'Gen' signifies an earthquake!"

Just as Wang Ye rolled from the cave entrance onto the flat ground.

A muffled rumble echoed from the ground halfway up the mountain.

Tons of soil and boulders collapsed completely!

The tunnel, which was more than 20 meters deep, along with the abandoned base below, was completely filled in.

"Huh...huh..."

Several people collapsed in the grass on the hillside, panting heavily.
