Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 390 Entrance

Every time he swam more than ten meters, Drew had to return to the lake to breathe. After storing new oxygen, it dived into the lake again. After repeating this several times, he has swum across the great lake. When I came to the lake again, the scene in the lake was much the same. The ground is covered with moss, and occasionally some tree trunks that have sunk into the lake can be seen being brought here by the lake water. But this time, Drew clearly felt the flow of the water.

When he was still, he could feel the water flowing towards the lonely cliff opposite the lake shore, which meant that there was a gap in the cliff, which would cause the lake to flow. Drew regained his energy immediately, and approached the cliff to search carefully.

At this time, there was a loud noise from the lake, and Drew looked up, wondering what happened to the battle on the lake shore?

"Edward, Lucy, attract its attention for me."

"Kana, have your men attack its left side."

"Reggies, aim for it to hit with its right foot."

Allen mobilized everyone to cooperate with the attack, and jumped up to the monster's head. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the monster's attention was successfully distracted. Although one of the eyeballs saw Alan, it never cared about it. In its eyes, Allen is no different from a mosquito, but the people who are harassing it now are a group of evil bees. In contrast, it is more important to drive away this group of evil bees.

After successfully climbing onto the head of the giant beast, Allen no longer attacked rashly like the previous few times. He had tried several times before, and once he had a murderous intent, he aroused the source force and immediately attracted the attack of the tentacles. So this time, Allen restrained his breath and silently observed the powerful tentacles on the monster's back. When all the tentacles were busy attacking the people below, Allen slightly raised the devil's salute.

The source force exploded, Allen stepped on the giant beast's head with his toes, and the person rushed straight towards one of its eyeballs like a cannonball. The murderous intent was fully revealed, and the giant beast discovered that Allen was also a vicious bee. But it was too late to separate the tentacles to attack, Allen poured the source power into the dagger, and the dagger immediately flowed with blood. Under the control of Allen's mind, the devil's praise activated the first-level posture, forming a dark red short blade.

Allen held the short blade and inserted it heavily into the eyeball of the giant beast. He almost pressed his whole body up, blocking the red glow when the ability of Hymn of Blood was activated. The giant beast suddenly felt a strange force in its body, and this strange force made the blood in its body boil. Almost uncontrollable, strands of blood arrows burst out from all parts of the giant beast's body, and condensed into blades in the air.

The giant beast wailed, and the blood blade burst, and the resulting secondary impact violently tore apart its shell, flesh and blood, as well as blood vessels and some internal organs. As soon as Allen succeeded in the blow, he immediately drew his knife and flew back. The demon gemstone on the short blade flowed with blood, and the abundant blood essence of the giant beast was absorbed by the source device, and part of it passed into Allen's body to replenish his post-war consumption.

The blood essence of the giant beast is full of tyrannical vitality,

It quickly nourishes Allen's source power and recovers quickly. But after a while, the source power consumed by Allen recovered to less than half, which surprised him greatly.

After falling to the ground, Allen beckoned everyone to back off. The behemoth was hit hard by this and fell into a state of madness. The tentacles on the back frantically whipped the surroundings, causing the earth and rocks to crack, the broken stones flew randomly, and a cloud of dust and smoke billowed endlessly. It took only a moment for the giant beast to stop. It became very weak, but it did not die. It seems that the devil's praise just let go of most of its blood, but its vitality is too tenacious, but it still survived.

But now it has no power to fight anymore, and it looked at everyone bitterly. Especially the lines of sight staring at Allen were full of resentment, the giant beast groaned a few times, turned around and staggered away. Everyone watched it leave, but no one stopped it. In fact, everyone is exhausted to death now, who has the strength to stop this big guy again.

It would be nice to be able to expel it.

Behemoths move slowly, but with great strides. Within a few minutes, its figure had disappeared into the forest, but its cry could be heard from a distance from time to time. Every time it sounds, a group of birds must be startled. Seeing that the monster had gone far away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then rest assured.

Naturally, Allen and Garner took sides. At this time, Allen discovered that there was a fat man missing from Garner's side. He looked thoughtfully at the lake, just in time for Drew to come back. When he surfaced, he felt Alan's gaze, and felt a little embarrassed.

The fat man walked up to Jiana without saying a word, and whispered something in Jiana's ear. Allen said lightly: "Mr. Garner, this is a little different from our previous agreement. We agreed to join forces to defend against the enemy, but you took the opportunity to let your people go to the lake to explore the way. Do you have to explain something to me? "

Jana snorted: "Dru is not good at fighting, so it's useless to let him stay on the shore. So what if I let him explore the way, you have to understand, this lake is not yours. The ruins in the lake are not yours." Yes, our fighters have participated in the battle according to the agreement. As for the others, I don’t think you have the right to ask, right?”

"That's right, but in this way, I doubt your integrity very much. That makes me wonder, if we enter the ruins together, will you stab us in the back?"

"What do you mean?" Karen asked, frowning.

Allen spread his hands and said: "The meaning is obvious, that is, I don't trust you. Since you breached the contract first, the previous agreement is void. Please leave now, otherwise we can only expel it by force."

Jiana said angrily: "Your Excellency, are you too domineering? Although we explored the way first, we at least contributed together just now. How can you go back on your word!"

"Let us continue with the previous agreement, but you must show your sincerity, Mr. Garner."

Kano's eyes rolled, and he also paid attention to Alan's side in the battle just now. Except for Allen, his subordinates have their own strengths. The weaker ones are the two twins, and the most powerful one is naturally the leader Alan. Among other things, Kano asked himself that he couldn't seriously injure the giant beast with a single blow like Alan. The blood blade that spewed out must be some kind of domineering ability without thinking about it.

Once the war started, Kano knew very well that he had no chance of winning. I and Hongye, who have the highest combat power, are still a little worse than Alan and another boy. Not to mention that Allen still has the domineering ability to severely damage giant beasts. After thinking about it, Garner sighed softly: "Well, Drew did find something in the lake. If there are no accidents, what he found should be the ruins I can tell you the location, which saves you a lot of time. After we enter the ruins together, we will part ways according to the previous agreement."

"If you don't agree, we will leave immediately. But today, we will find a chance to repay what you have given me!"

After hearing this, Allen nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."

After resting enough on the shore of the lake, everyone prepared to dive into the lake. According to Drew, there is water flowing down the cliffs on the other side of the lake. He had already found the gap, and after straightening out the moss coat attached to the cliff, he found that it was a neat circle. Judging from his description, it should be the outlet of some kind of pipeline, because nature does not have regular shapes, and all regular things are the result of man-made.

However, the water flow in the circular gap is slow, and it will be difficult to find it if you are not very close and feel the water flow in the lake carefully. Allen guessed that something should be blocked in that pipe, so the lake water was not injected quickly. Therefore, the first thing after entering the lake is to clear the blockage in the pipeline. So he discussed with Jiana, and decided that the two of them, plus Drew, would go into the water first, while the others waited on the shore.

After bringing the necessary tools, the three went into the water. Drew swam ahead with ease, they swam to the other side of the lake, and then dived to the bottom of the lake. The water is another wonderful world. Allen saw small fish swimming by from time to time. They were like birds in the sky swimming freely in the world at the bottom of the lake. As I continued to go deeper into the bottom of the lake, I no longer saw those small silver fishes above, but some strange creatures living at the bottom of the lake.

They feed on moss and lake water microbes that look like shells or hermit crabs. But without exception, they all have shimmering tentacles on their bodies. These tentacles can sensitively feel the water flow, so as to distinguish danger. When Alan and the others swam close, these little things swarmed away, and ran away cleanly in a short while.

Unable to speak in the water, Drew could only point his finger in the direction of the cliff, signaling Allen and the two to follow him.

Swimming near the cliff, Drew pressed his hands on the rock and used his strength to jump up. After a while, Allen saw a round shadow. When you get closer, you can see that it is indeed the exit of a pipeline. The surrounding area is covered with green moss, and large fan leaves can be seen inside. However, there are many aquatic plants wrapped around the fan blade, and something is blocked behind it, so the speed of water flow is not fast.

Jiana gave the fat man a hand and motioned him to take care of him outside. Then he glanced at Allen, and swam into the pipe first. Allen followed, and the two soon came near the fan blade of the pipe. Kano reached out and knocked on the fan blade, and found that it turned out to be metal, with a surprised expression on his face. Stretched out and pulled again, the fan blade naturally remained motionless.

Allen wiped the fan wheel sideways, tearing off a large piece of green moss, revealing the thick screws around the fan wheel. Allen pointed to the screw and made a turning gesture. Kano understood, and went to turn those screws with Allen. These things have been soaked in the lake for a long time, and they are already covered with rust. It is difficult for ordinary people to turn them, but it is still difficult for the two of them.

They turned the screw hard, and after a while, they turned the screw off. Then remove the fan wheel, and after losing the fixation, the fan blades are naturally easy to remove. But after folding the exhaust fan, the problem is still not solved. Behind the fan, some stones blocked the pipe, leaving only a few palm-sized gaps. Don't talk about people, I'm afraid the bigger fish won't be able to swim through.
