Chapter 384: Chapter 360 Earth Dragon Den One

Earth Dragon Den lake bottom passage

In complete darkness, numerous water grasses glowing with dim green fluorescence floated slowly in the water, resembling noctilucent jellyfish, giving a feeling of being in a different world.

A group of people dressed in diving suits carefully stood in front of the passage entrance, looking down into it.

"Merle, you go down and check," said a person standing at the forefront of the team in a cold voice.

"Yes."

A diver lightly jumped, slowly floating down, and continuously used their hands to steady themselves against the walls of the entrance.

"All detection equipment, follow!"

"Yes, boss!"

A metallic frame about half the height of a person was set up by the group. Soon, a small disc-shaped antenna opened automatically and began to freely rotate 360 degrees. At the same time, the display connected below began to continuously show a string of complex curve data and some computation function graphs that were enlarging and shrinking.

"Detect the residual energy values!"

"Residual energy is at 1.532 levels, they must have passed through already."

"Is that so?"

Juan stood at the forefront of the team, looking at Merle who had descended, his eyes showing no emotion.

"Although we don’t know if they have detected our tracking, the other party would definitely prepare an ambush just in case, even if they don’t know whether we are following them or not," Juan said in a grave tone, "Spanda, take care of it."

"Alright, boss!" a muscular man in a diving suit stepped forward.

He took out a white sphere with a silver cross from his waist and lightly tossed it downward.

The white sphere seemed somewhat heavy and quickly sank in the direction Merle had descended.

"Merle! Coordinate!" Spanda shouted loudly.

"Ok!"

Beep!!

After a piercing beep sound.

The white sphere instantly transformed, and its surface automatically revealed countless tiny holes.

With a hiss, numerous nail-like objects shot out from these holes, most of them firmly embedding in the walls on all sides. Countless nail-like objects and the white sphere were connected with white lines that flashed and quickly disappeared.

After ejecting the nails, the sphere naturally landed in Merle’s hand, who had reached the corner of the passage.

"All clear!"

He made an OK sign to his mates, but unfortunately, the water was rather murky, and it was unclear if those above saw it.

"Everyone, dive in! Even if there’s an ambush, it doesn’t matter," Juan gestured and was the first to jump into the passage, slowly sinking. The others quickly packed up the equipment and also jumped in.

The team began to swim toward the bottom following the bend in the passage.

Suddenly, pale blue lights appeared on the cave walls. Not just one spot, but dozens, a mass of blue light spots, like pale blue eyes, instantaneously lit up around everyone.

"Luo Ke!!" Juan shouted into the walkie-talkie, not realizing yet they were ambushed. Unfortunately, a strong electric pulse directly interfered with the walkie-talkie’s signal, turning it into a static noise, nothing could be heard or transmitted.

Sss.....

Countless blue lights instantly formed an electrical net, a large number of blue threads carrying electricity enveloped everyone.

The team underwater immediately plunged into chaos; some people convulsed silently a few times and then lay motionless, unable to make a sound. The equipment being carried also began to emit yellow smoke, clearly indicating internal components were damaged, causing yellow smoke to mix into the water flow.

Juan was caught off guard. However, such a level of attack had absolutely no effect on her. A layer of black light screen instantaneously appeared on her body, blocking all electrical attacks.

"Divert!" she bellowed softly. The black light screen instantly sent out black threads along all the electric currents touching it, the countless black threads swiftly hit the origin of the electric current—a number of black boxes tightly attached to the cave walls.

The moment the boxes contacted the black threads, they cracked, and the blue currents on them instantly dimmed.

All the blue eyes on the cave walls dimmed simultaneously. The electrical net automatically disappeared.

"What’s the damage situation?" Juan said coldly. However, she found the walkie-talkie was already damaged by the electromagnetic pulse, she simply removed her oxygen mask, covered it with her hand, and shouted underwater.

"Report the damage situation!" They had also considered that the opposition might intercept them, yet they didn’t expect the enemy would use such a method, not aiming to harm them primarily but instead to destroy the equipment.

"All equipment is broken!" Spanda said helplessly. He and Merle, being responsible leaders from other islands, had to obediently listen to Juan. He had seen the status of Merle earlier, he wasn’t a Psychic with strong recovery abilities like Merle.

"Two people are seriously injured and unconscious, four have minor injuries. The rest are fine. However, without the equipment, we lack detection and counter-detection capabilities, making it easy for the other two forces to completely control our every move."

"Continue forward!" Juan said expressionlessly. In her view, as long as she and the other two Grade-C leaders were unharmed, the other personnel were disposable, not affecting the overall situation.

Spanda reluctantly looked at Merle ahead of him, who also had a somber face. "Juan had speculated there would definitely be an ambush, yet took no precautions, clearly not considering the lives of lower-level personnel seriously."

"Leave three people behind, the rest, bring the injured up!"
