74: Chapter 72 I Bet There Are No Bullets in Your Gun!
(Additional chapter for alliance leader -Zhang-Yu-Ge!) 74: Chapter 72 I Bet There Are No Bullets in Your Gun!
(Additional chapter for alliance leader -Zhang-Yu-Ge!) The cave trembled, and within the stone pathway, sand and pebbles cascaded down, the wall-mounted lanterns quivering unsteadily, casting ghostly shadows.
“Chen Songnan, if we all die here, you won’t get away with it!” Xu Wei shouted angrily, seeing Chen Songnan still intent on abandoning everyone else to escape first.
Chen Songnan halted, casting a gloomy glance at her, thinking about the last batch of Refined Marrow Gold Mine that had yet to be transported out.
If it were discovered, trouble would ensue.
But if he ignored them and they all ran off in different directions, and if they ran into…
God damn it, why did these Silver Grey Beasts suddenly go berserk!
Angered, he said sternly, “Hurry up.
If the Silver Grey Beasts catch up, we’re all dead.”
“You’re leading us deeper; isn’t that also a dead end?” Wang Zhiheng questioned.
“There’s an outpost deeper in,” Chen Songnan quickly said, casting a stealthy glance at everyone, his gaze pausing on Li Ming.
“I’ll cover our retreat.
Little Zhang, I sent you the map, you lead the way.”
Chen Songnan surprisingly made the decision to cover their retreat, making Li Ming vigilant—sothing strange must be happening.
An accompanying assistant hastily acknowledged the order, then started guiding the way at the front.
Due to the change of direction, those who were originally in the rear beca the pathfinders, while the pathfinders, including Li Ming’s group, now found themselves in the rear.
The group moved quickly, with those lagging being carried along, the faint sound of roars and growls echoing from behind them.
This ti they were clearly descending deeper underground, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at a massive subterranean cavity.
They had squeezed through a corridor on one side, and not far off was a cliff in utter darkness.
This space was surprisingly vast, with the stone walls on the side pocked with holes, as if cut out by so large machinery.
So areas were covered with perforated tal plates, now overgrown with moss, with soft-bodied worms scrambling to hide.
Upon arriving here, everyone couldn’t help but be astonished.
“There’s such a massive space underground,” Wang Zhiheng remarked, peering into the near-infinite darkness.
“Sothing’s not right,” Xu Wei said, eying the rusty tal plates.
Clearly, they’d been there for years.
She turned to Chen Songnan and demanded, “What exactly have you been up to here!?”
Chen Songnan was expressionless, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Miss Xu.
We should really focus on escaping for our lives.”
Xu Wei’s face was drawn tight, but indeed, now was not the ti for argunts.
But at that mont, a black shadow suddenly lunged from a narrow passage above, charging straight toward the group.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Muzzle flashes erupted, Li Ming shouldered his gun, reacting incredibly fast as he fired a series of shots, and the shadow fell to the ground.
“Silver Grey Beast!” Xu Wei recognized it at a glance, but this was just the beginning.
More Silver Grey Beasts jumped down from the passages above, their eyes blood red, and their giant fangs nacing.
“Go, move!” Wang Zhiheng and Zuo Ling quickly extended the blast shields they carried and began firing their weapons.
“The eyes or the neck!” Xu Wei reminded.
The most advanced Silver Grey Beast’s eyes burst open, blood gushing from its neck; that was their weakest spot.
But the Silver Grey Beasts leaping before them seed almost endless in number, the smaller ones only a ter or two in size, but the largest were comparable to houses.
Boom!
Fiery red flas rained down from above, sending a swath of Silver Grey Beasts flying, and Chen Songnan leaped out from behind, his arms wrapped in flas, his forearms turned dark brown, crisscrossed with red fissures like the scorched earth beneath a volcano.
Boom!
He swung his fists, discharging a magma-like liquid, smashing it onto the ground, triggering columns of magma fire and actually forcing the Silver Grey Beasts to hesitate in their advance.
However, more and more Silver Grey Beasts poured out from the passages, so even tumbling down the cliff.
Li Ming and his companions fought as they retreated, and once they entered the passage, the pressure was lessened.
Bang!
Zuo Ling had retreated into the tunnel, but Li Ming’s expression changed.
With the sound of a piercing whistle, a Silver Grey Beast enveloped in flas crashed toward him, blocking his retreat.
Li Ming’s reaction was swift; he sidestepped to the right, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The gust of wind tousled his hair, mixed with the scorching heat of flas.
In the next mont, Chen Songnan landed, blocking the narrow passage and shoving Wang Zhiheng inside.
The fla roared active, obstructing Wang Zhiheng’s view, while he shouted, “Move faster, don’t waste ti!”
Li Ming stood his ground, squinting his eyes, the cliff not far behind him.
Chen Songnan looked at him too.
Ti seed to slow down.
Chen Songnan suddenly revealed a profound smile, then exploded into motion!
His whole body charged at Li Ming, so fast it was nearly invisible, his fists trailing thick flas.
Li Ming’s pupils contracted, his right foot stepped back as he crossed his fists in front of him to block.
“Deluding yourself!” A dismissive look flashed in Chen Songnan’s eyes.
The fiery fist sank down, missing Li Ming’s crossed arms, landing below Li Ming’s chest, where a burst of fla erupted.
With a thud, Li Ming was sent flying, tumbling down the cliff,
Why does this feel so hard?
Chen Songnan was puzzled; the feedback from his punch on Li Ming didn’t feel right.
But taking a glance at the desolate cliff, he shook his head inwardly.
Perhaps it was so kind of armor, he thought, but it didn’t matter anymore.
With Li Ming’s level of vitality, survival was impossible.
Silver Grey Beasts from all directions rushed over.
Chen Songnan killed one of the larger beasts and blocked the entrance with its body before swiftly leaving.
…
One after another, the Silver Grey Beasts wailed as they fell into the impenetrable darkness below.
Li Ming’s body lay almost flush against the cliff face, his two chanical drill arms embedded deeply in the rock wall, supporting his weight.
