Chapter 1327: Chapter 655: The Scene is a Bit Grand!_3

Additionally, there were two special rooms. One room was filled with beautiful shells of roughly the same size. Another was filled with palm-sized golden bars that were irregular, likely processed.

Sean Knight speculated that this must be the official warehouse of the underground city, and when its people left, these items were either abandoned or forgotten.

He removed the Stone Door, took everything from the warehouse, and carried it all away.

The absence of food meant that those who left had taken all the edibles with them.

Food, to them, was the most important thing.

Leaving the warehouse, Sean Knight continued to descend further. The scent in the air grew increasingly moist; he guessed he was nearing a subterranean river or lake.

Along the way, the main road was lined with glowing stones, in varying amounts. However, the light was dim, but here it suddenly became bright!

Sean Knight hastened his pace.

Having taken the items from the warehouse, Sean Knight felt that he must have already taken the most valuable things in the underground city.

Now, even if he left, it would basically be enough.

But Sean Knight’s curiosity had not been satisfied—he felt he must reach the lowest level to see what exactly was there, where exactly those people had gone.

Sean Knight’s steps quickened, and then he saw the gateway ahead shining with light, dotting with numerous green specks.

Seeing this, Sean Knight slowed his pace.

Intuition warned him of danger ahead.

Although the danger was not significant, not fatal, he was not a reckless person.

He casually pulled out a gun, the kind with a silencer.

Sean Knight was determined not to shoot unless absolutely necessary.

A few minutes later, he reached the light.

It turned out that ahead was a world as bright, if not brighter, than the outside world.

And the corridor was the entrance!

The little green lights were the color of the plants in the world inside the corridor!

Sean Knight reached the gateway and saw a subterranean rainforest, like the ones in the movies about the center of the earth!

A breeze passed through the corridor, and the large leaves rustled, a soothing sight for the eyes!

After seeing the white snow outside and the gray-black stones in the underground city,

Coming across the soft lighting and green plants here, Sean Knight was stunned.

His eyes conveyed a sense of bliss.

This is what people were meant to see!

Just then, Sean Knight suddenly raised his gun and shot at the ground!

Several snake-like creatures as thick as arms coiled towards Sean Knight along the ground!

With sucker-like surfaces and spines, they looked troublesome at first glance!

Sean Knight guessed if he got wrapped up by these things, he would likely be eaten or drained before having a chance to react!

Bullets hit the creatures, spattering green blood. Suddenly a severe warning flashed through Sean Knight’s mind—these creatures were emitting infrasound attacks!

In a dizzying moment, his spiritual energy immediately protected his neural circuitry. Sean Knight’s Sky Eye focused on something in the plants as he continued firing with the gun in his hand!

Lots of plants were shattered, revealing the true form of the assailant!

It was a massive creature with a body over three meters and tentacles exceeding five meters, like a cuttlefish from the sea—not an octopus, as its body was spindle-shaped but capable of changing colors!

After emptying a magazine of bullets, the creature wasn’t dead yet. It seemed to realize Sean Knight’s prowess and swiftly "ran" away—the motion of "running" was using its dozen tentacles to pull on nearby plants, propelling its body forward with the reaction force!

Sean Knight kept his Sky Eye alert, observing all around, and found no other animals nearby besides this one monster.

How strange!

Could it be like the Arowana in a fishpond, where other creatures can only be food when it’s around?

Feeling the danger was minimal, Sean Knight immediately followed pursuit!

Not even one kilometer ahead, Sean Knight spotted a vast lake—it was like the sea!

Bubbles occasionally surfaced on the lake. The creature dived in and disappeared.

With Sky Eye activated, Sean Knight saw the lake was exceedingly deep, and chillingly, the bottom was densely packed with human skulls!

The skulls, large and small, were at least over two hundred years old judging by their age.

This meant that the people here had disappeared over two hundred years ago.

Perished.

Had they all been eaten by creatures like the one he just encountered?

Sean Knight frowned; the air here smelled atrocious. The bubbles seemed to be methane—probably not just seem to be, but actually were.

This was rather dangerous!

Next, Sean Knight was surprised to find shiny objects beneath the lake.

Not just in the lake but also on the shore—he walked to the lakeside, bent down, and picked one up.

Golden bars the size of soybeans!

He dug around the shore with his hand and found quite a few natural golden bars underneath!

At that moment, the bubbles on the surface of the lake suddenly increased and seemed mixed with another type of gas.

Sean Knight looked up, sensing the gas was toxic!

He stepped back a few paces and felt a jab at his feet. Looking down, he discovered a pigeon-egg-sized natural diamond!

What the hell, had he stepped into a dream?

Sean Knight looked up at the "sky"; it wasn’t the actual sky, about a hundred meters above the ground, dense, luminous stones formed a brightness akin to natural daylight on the surface.

This thing, it was indeed like a fairy tale!

However, the smell was indeed repugnant!

Sean Knight took a few more steps back, then noticed the water in the lake start to churn!

A big fellow was undulating in the water, constantly stirring up the sand and stones at the bottom. From what he could see, fist-sized golden bars appeared with the tumbling waters, some even thrown close to the shore!

What the hell, this creature actually knew how to use these things to lure people in!

Sean Knight’s warning bells rang louder, and he quickly retreated!

This place, it wasn’t safe to stay long!
