Chapter 1326: Chapter 1322: Giant Cocoons
"Although I’m not yet clear about Guo Lao’s true intentions, from the current situation, he bears no malice towards me. Therefore, there’s no need to doubt anything. The urgent task at hand is to prepare a bit because Nan City is right in front of us!"
Ye Tian continued, his words prompting Tian Qi and Daichong to stop arguing and focus on hurrying along the road.
The Qinggong of the three was quite profound, and before long, they arrived at the gates of Nan City!
Here, there’s a barrier set by the Black Hole Clan, making it impossible for ordinary Martial Artists to enter...
However, fortunately, the barrier at this place was broken open by Guo Lao, creating a hole big enough for Ye Tian and the others to pass through.
Ye Tian looked at the hole in the barrier and said with a smile, "Normally, someone as cautious as Elder Dong Feng wouldn’t sit idly by if there’s a hole in the barrier, but now he doesn’t even have time to deal with it. It shows that the situation is urgent, and we are now at a race against time. So, we have a great deal of leeway to infiltrate Nan City right now!"
Tian Qi also nodded and said, "Indeed, Guo Lao letting us heal and recover in the Different Space where time flows slowly was a brilliant move. Elder Dong Feng probably didn’t expect that although we were heavily injured, we could make a comeback in such a short time. This time, we’ll definitely catch him off guard!"
Daichong also said, "Indeed, every advanced martial art is most dangerous just before training is complete. If someone ambushes, not only will they lose all their power, but they could die! I think Elder Dong Feng wants to merge the entire Nan City and obtain the powers and bloodline of the Divine Race; it’s a critical time now. If we invade the Underground City of Nan City, we can crush his conspiracy!"
"There’s no time to lose! Conceal your breath! Enter Nan City!"
Due to the urgency, Ye Tian didn’t have the leisure to chat outside the city and immediately spoke to Tian Qi and Daichong.
Without needing a heavy drum, Tian Qi and Daichong immediately concealed their breathing entirely, making them feel like stones.
Ye Tian was the same, but his ability to conceal his presence was even more advanced than Tian Qi and Daichong’s. Once his breath was hidden, Ye Tian seemed entirely transparent, devoid of any life, and if Tian Qi and Daichong couldn’t see him with their eyes, they might think Ye Tian didn’t exist at all!
After the three concealed their breaths, they slipped through the breach in the barrier into Nan City!
"So dark!"
Looking at the current state of Nan City, Tian Qi couldn’t help but sigh.
A medium-sized city with a population of 300,000, with such developed technology, Nan City used to be called the "City That Never Sleeps"...
Even during dangerous times in Nan City, when Martial Artists were fighting, the city was brightly lit like daytime.
But now, in the short time since Tian Qi and Daichong left with Ye Tian, all the lights in Nan City have gone out, making the whole city feel like a city of death.
Fortunately, all three were Martial Artists with high-level skills and keen perception, and under the bright moonlight overhead, they were not left blind.
However, even so, Tian Qi still felt a bit bittersweet...
Seeing Tian Qi’s expression, Ye Tian immediately consoled, "Qiqi, the world is unpredictable. Once we save Nan City, it will become prosperous again, just as before, so there’s no need to worry about whether the city has lights! Moreover, there are Elder Dong Feng’s eyes everywhere here, and if we’re not careful, we’ll encounter enemies before reaching the Underground City!"
Under Ye Tian’s guidance, Tian Qi immediately felt enlightened.
Just as Ye Tian said, although the whole Nan City was currently pitch black, the monitoring facilities set by the Black Hole Clan were still there, so the three could not let their guard down.
Also, because Nan City was now empty, these monitoring facilities roamed more recklessly. By now, these facilities had no scruples and began to wander around the city.
"So it’s these guys! I thought they were cameras!"
Ye Tian said with a wry smile; the monitoring facilities in Nan City were vastly different from ordinary ones. They weren’t cameras but uniformly biochemical tentacles!
Ye Tian had encountered such tentacles several times in Nan City. Although they weren’t strong fighters, they were indeed troublesome. If entangled by them, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of time!
So, it’s wise to be cautious...
"These guys are quite far, so we needn’t mind, but don’t startle the snake by hitting the grass!"
Ye Tian reminded Tian Qi and Daichong, and both immediately became even more restrained, hardly daring to breathe...
Before they arrived at Nan City, Guo Lao had marked the locations of the broken monitoring facilities in Nan City on a map, so by following the passage indicated by Guo Lao, Ye Tian and the others encountered no surprises and smoothly approached the Underground City of Nan City.
As they traveled at night, and with constant vigilance against the ever-present tentacles, their speed wasn’t very fast, but they still reached the entrance to the Underground City in the new district of Nan City in a short time.
On the ground, there was a large hole opened, naturally made by Ye Tian!
Through the big hole, dazzling light shone through. It seemed that the Underground City of Nan City was different from other parts of Nan City; it was brightly lit inside, like daytime.
Around the big hole, the presence of tentacles could be seen everywhere...
Although following the path pointed out by Elder Guo, the three of them could reach the entrance of the South City Underground City without incident, the area surrounding the South City Underground City was naturally filled with spies, making it impossible for the three of them to enter unnoticed by Elder Dong Feng.
Thus, at this moment, the three had to make a choice!
Ye Tian and the others cautiously hid in a corner, and Ye Tian whispered, "My friends, just ahead is the entrance to the South City Underground City. The 300,000 citizens of South City, our allies, and my wife and daughter are all inside. To infiltrate, we must divert those tentacles, so one of us must volunteer!"
Tian Qi immediately said, "Ye Tian, leave this to me! My combat style is long-range attack, so it’s most suitable for me to draw away those tentacles with my attacks!"
Ye Tian nodded and said, "Qiqi, then everything depends on you!"
"Alright!"
As they spoke, Tian Qi immediately began to muster the force within himself.
The tentacles were evidently sensitive to the smell of power, and as the force within Tian Qi grew stronger, several tentacles approached.
However, Tian Qi didn’t give these tentacles a chance to get close; he directly shot black Qi Force from his fingers, shattering the tentacles!
"Crash~~~~~~~~~~~"
The tentacles exploded like bombs, leaving the ground covered with a pool of green corpse water, looking extremely disgusting.
But the number of these biochemical tentacles was simply too many, so even though Tian Qi’s attack was swift and powerful, he couldn’t clear all the tentacles surrounding the South City Underground City entrance in no time.
More tentacles, smelling the power, converged again...
"Come on! Bring it on!"
Tian Qi shouted and leaped in another direction.
The tentacles were originally there to kill intruders, and now with Tian Qi having appeared, they locked onto him as their target.
Countless tentacles pounced on Tian Qi, and apart from the tentacles, the gaping maws on the creatures’ bodies opened wide, as if ready to swallow Tian Qi whole.
If it were the old Tian Qi, Ye Tian would still be worried, but now Tian Qi had become a Martial Artist able to stand on her own, so these mere tentacles, in her eyes, were nothing worth mentioning!
"Good timing!"
Tian Qi sneered, unleashing the Power of Death without holding back, transforming it into black Qi Force from her fingers.
The tentacles attempting to encircle Tian Qi exploded under the attack of the black Qi Force!
Tian Qi engaged and retreated, disappearing from Ye Tian and Daichong’s sight within moments, while the tentacles chasing Tian Qi also followed her, leaving none visible!
Now, there were no tentacles guarding the entrance to the South City Underground City, providing Ye Tian and Daichong an opportunity!
Ye Tian straightforwardly said, "Daichong, now’s the time, let’s go in!"
Daichong resolutely said, "Of course, otherwise, wouldn’t Qiqi have been a decoy for nothing?"
Saying this, the two took three steps into two, arriving at the entrance of the South City Underground City, then lightly leaped in.
Tian Qi used herself as bait to draw the tentacles away, but at the instant she attacked the tentacles, information might have been transmitted to Elder Dong Feng deep within the South City Underground City.
Now Elder Dong Feng probably already knew there were intruders, so for Ye Tian and Daichong, they must quickly head to the underground city, seize the moment before Elder Dong Feng reacts, and eliminate him before he fully integrates into South City...
The South City Underground City was expansive and brilliantly lit, offering Ye Tian and Daichong a unique sight!
However, the two were not concerned about such matters, but rather the safety of the South City citizens and all their allies...
After arriving at the South City Underground City, the two immediately witnessed a shocking scene!
"Ye Tian, look!"
Daichong pointed to a square not far away, which was filled with cocoon-like structures!
There were tens of thousands of massive cocoons, truly astonishing...
