Chapter 1829: Chapter 1804: Sunken Vessel Underground
"It seems so."
Fu Qian stepped on the ground before turning his head to follow Su Gaoâs gaze, and in the next moment, he agreed with Su Gaoâs viewpoint.
Despite the lingering mist, it wasnât difficult to notice that the space before them was spacious and had a rather peculiar structure.
Like the ground beneath them, everything around was wooden, and in all four directions, besides a plain door, there wasnât a single window in sight.
Yet, the visibility was even better than before.
This was because both the ground and the surrounding walls had streaks of luminous blue extending across them, evoking memories of encountering a luminous sea during a trip to Ye Island.
Su Gao must have felt the same.
Besides, the overall angle was slightly tilted, resembling a sunken ship, except there was no water.
Yet this situation was downright bizarreâwas there a ship sunk beneath the Benevolence Institute?
Should the three-quarters platform from earlier be changed to three-quarters bow?
"Perception is greatly limited; the power level supporting this place must be quite high. Professor Fu, be careful," Su Gao timely voiced her thoughts.
"Donât worry, I have plenty of ways to retreat. Shall we continue?"
Nodding in agreement, Fu Qian gestured towards the direction of the door.
A consultant should act like a consultant.
After all, this was Su Gaoâs project, and she had self-initiated solutions without prompting; it was important to maintain her momentum.
Additionally, Su Gaoâs critique was indeed accurateâeven though he was Second Phase, Fu Qianâs perception was highly impaired at the moment.
"Letâs proceed; I should be able to break through this place in reverse," Su Gao said without hesitation. With a glance at the path theyâd come from, she walked ahead.
...
Not only was there no decoration, but there wasnât even a lockâthe wooden door seemed to merely serve as a barrier.
And as Su Gao reached out to open it, a peculiar sound could be heard.
But that wasnât a sound from the door; rather, it resembled the sound of a living organism, which Fu Qian confirmed.
Indeed, Su Gaoâs action disturbed this place.
Unfortunately, the source of the sound was somewhat elusive, and perception beyond the field of vision wasnât very useful.
But as the saying goes, one shouldnât only see the bad side but try to see more of the badâfor instance, the outside view wasnât great either.
As the door opened and they looked out, the mist became noticeably denser, the luminous blue light even blurring.
This setting, paired with potential creatures peering from the sides, necessitated heightened vigilance.
Fortunately, Fu Qian trusted that, like him, Su Gao always had the healthy habit of being cautious.
Sure enough, faced with this scenario, Su Gao stepped out without any hesitation.
Whenâ
And with her second step, she raised her sword and struck a shadow that lunged down from above.
...
Indeed, there were indeed creatures, unfriendly to those who disturbed their peace.
Not surprised by the sudden change, Fu Qian moved forward and scrutinized the creature confronting Su Gao.
Smooth-skinned and emaciated, its skin seemed to be slathered in tar, blending with its surroundings as camouflage, making it quite inconspicuous when it was stuck to the ceiling above.
Indeed, Fu Qian had noticed it just like Su Gao did. He even confirmed that this wasnât the creature that had made the sound earlierâor perhaps it would be better to call it âheâ?
Although its crawling posture was quite feral, the creature faintly had human-like limbs, a round cranium, and soft facial features.
It appeared somewhat human-like.
Meanwhile, Fu Qian also noticed the webbed membranes between its fingers, the gill slits behind its ears, and even fins seemingly attached to its spine.
These were rich in marine elements, representing a classic image of human evolution.
Observing its form, Fu Qianâs first thought was that humans had evolved to adapt to the environment.
The attacker wielded weapons in the form of spikes extending from its forearms, sinister in appearance.
Seemingly unafraid of humans, even after having its spikes torn off by Su Gao, it showed no sign of retreat, fixedly gazing at her through eyes that appeared to have an extra layer of membrane.
That such a creature existed in such a secretive place was indeed remarkable.
Crack...
However, despite retaining human facial features, the creature had completely lost the ability for verbal communication.
Faced with the strong presence of two High-level Extraordinary individuals, it could only emit a sound from its throat to embolden itself.
"Itâs of no value."
Fu Qian shook his head at Su Gao in response to the creatureâs performance.
Crackâ
Almost at the same time, the criticized creature lost its patience and lunged forward again, this time splitting into two.
The seemingly tenacious body was split directly in mid-air by a single sword cut, carrying out a âsplit-headedâ action.
After undergoing training, Su Gao was no longer the rookie Night Watchman who collapsed after slaughtering mutants.
Though the internal impact hadnât diminished, her tolerance had significantly improved, akin to the hot-cold forging theory.
Although the creatures were bizarre, their strength and speed were nothing exceptional.
The previous striking of only a few spikes wasnât because Su Gao couldnât do more but rather wasnât in a hurry to do more.
Nowâafter slaying the unconventional fishman, her moves continued without pause, cutting behind her in reverse.
Sizzleââ
In the midst of special sound effects, another similar body was split open from the center.
...
This should be the one that called earlier.
Throughout the process, Fu Qian, observing the second creature, which was even taller, silently made his remarks.
Besides lacking human intelligence, these creatures appeared particularly ferocious.
Going on the offense simultaneously, the death of the previous fellow didnât cause the second one to retreat.
As a reward, Su Gao showed no mercy.
With a clean cut in halves, she maximized the prevention of any possibility of a persistent half body continuing to cause trouble.
"We seem to have found the right place."
While complimenting, Fu Qian bent down to pick up a feather from the back of the second corpse, showing it to Su Gao.
Regardless of color or shape, it was a classicâprobably adhered somewhere. The Prison Angel Commander had indeed left such items not just outside.
"Mm."
Su Gao clearly endorsed this statement and continued forward without urging.
This is...
However, just a few steps later, she halted again, focusing on one side.
This is... a harvest?
Quickly catching up, Fu Qian also sighed as he took in the sight.
It was quite a large space, allowing the ship structure to be seen clearly, while the mist was interwoven with ropes seemingly sprouting from the floor, stretching straight upwards.
At the other end of the ropes, more than one human body could be seen.
