Chapter 311 - 308 Resource Points
The passage was deep, with uneven stone walls on both sides.
Very irregular.
Only the floor of the passage had been smoothed out for vehicle traffic.
It confirmed what Number Eight had said, it was indeed excavated by human labor.
"The passage doesn't seem to have been blown up?"
Tang Yu muttered to himself.
He didn't hesitate to enter but secretly activated several defensive props.
...
Click, click, click,
Bald Number Eight walked in the front, Tang Yu followed closely behind with a flashlight, while Eileen and Kong guarded his sides left and right, remaining vigilant at all times.
"How long did you guys actually dig this tunnel?" After walking for several minutes, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask.
Number Eight recalled for a moment, "...Anyway, it's very long. We didn't measure the exact data, and Dr. Zheng... Old Demon Zheng instructed us to dig as long as possible, so we just kept going forward carelessly, until it felt about right, then we dug upwards at an angle and looked for places that could serve as entrances and exits."
Tang Yu: "..."
The fact that the tunnel hadn't collapsed made him wonder whether to admire Number Eight and his crew's luck or just luck itself.
Hearing about their digging process gave Tang Yu a chill; he was worried the entire tunnel might cave in at any moment.
Only the scroll in his hand provided him with a sense of safety, "Good thing, even if it collapses, at least safety is not a problem."
Suddenly,
Tang Yu smelled a strange odor coming from ahead, his expression changed.
"Something's wrong!"
The flashlight beam aimed down the deep passage ahead, and several ferocious-faced Demonized Beasts came into view.
Sensing the presence of humans, the Demonized Beasts rapidly charged forward.
Number Eight widened his eyes, swearing, "¥&%... How could there be Demonized Beasts here?! Could they have escaped from the material detention room?!"
He looked at Tang Yu and the others and quickly explained, "It's really not my fault, I've made so many trips before and never encountered Demonized Beasts."
The flying Demonized Beasts were quickly slain by Kong.
Yet, these beasts were unusually strong, one even dodged a lethal blow, forcing Kong to strike again with another sword.
Quite rare.
Tang Yu did not underestimate them, a bold guess forming in his mind.
He quickened his pace, "Be careful, and also, try not to make too much noise."
After some thought, Tang Yu pulled out a spray bottle containing the juice of the Devil Vine—from his last encounter with the Ancestor Dragon Warrior, he had learned about this quirky plant's effectiveness and had specifically collected some.
Spraying the nozzle at himself, Tang Yu covered his entire body, turning his silver-white war armor oily purple, and emitting a slightly irritating smell.
He didn't spare his hair either, spraying until it turned black with tinges of purple, something about it felt off.
Shaking his head, Tang Yu thought this minor issue was bearable; after all, it wasn't as if it couldn't be washed off.
Eileen and Kong, not being delicate, took the Devil Vine juice spray and did the same to themselves to mask their scents.
The appearance after spraying looked quite comical.
Prepared, the group continued along the passage.
As expected, they encountered several more Demonized Beasts, all strong. To avoid making too much noise, they struck simultaneously and quickly dispatched the attacking beasts.
One batch, two batches, three batches...
The tunnel was long to begin with, and with Demonized Beasts blocking the way, it took nearly thirty minutes to walk through. According to the leading Bald, they were almost at the end.
Indeed,
Finally, some light appeared ahead.
Tang Yu's spirits lifted.
Bald Number Eight finally breathed a sigh of relief... Without sight of the re
