Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1354 - 687: Reunion with the Spirit Jade Island Group

The two of them bypassed the mountain gully and quickly swam to higher ground.

Not long after, Ye Nan suddenly stopped and said urgently, "Mr. Liang, it’s right there!"

He pointed to a stone rubble slope not far across from them.

On the slope, seaweed was dense, and coral clusters stood tall.

Among them were collapsed stones and cracked rocks, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Ye Nan pointed to that spot and said, "At that time, we escaped from the giant turtle, and the Island Lord first brought us here."

"However, just as we arrived, we were attacked by a mutant beast monster fish."

"The monster fish looked like a rock, similar to a grouper, but much larger—at least a dozen meters."

"At that time, it lay beside the rock, perfectly camouflaged. Someone accidentally stepped on it and was eaten in one bite."

Recalling the terrifying scene, Ye Nan couldn’t help but show a look of fear on his face.

"What happened then?" Liang Yuan asked.

"The Spirit Island Master tried to control that monster, but unexpectedly, the mutated monster’s Spirit Attribute was very high."

"The first time the Island Lord used Spirit Control Ability on it, she suffered a backlash."

"Fortunately, Dr. Jiang acted in time, and the Young Island Lord immediately led us underground from here."

Hearing this, Liang Yuan immediately asked, "Going underground, how did you set up camp underground?"

"From here, we went underground, not very deep, and found a fleshy substance that blocked further descent. So the Young Island Lord led us to search nearby and found an entrance to the blood vessel path leading into Abyss Island."

"Can you still remember the entrance to that blood vessel path?"

"I can. We used that entrance frequently; it’s imprinted in my mind," Ye Nan quickly said.

Liang Yuan said, "I’ll use Earth Escape to take you down; you guide me."

"Alright."

The two of them used Earth Escape to go underground again.

The earth layer wasn’t deep, and just over ten meters down, Liang Yuan felt they had reached the island’s fleshy tissue layer.

"Mr. Liang, I remember we found the entrance near a metallic-textured tissue layer."

Liang Yuan’s heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

Metallic materialized flesh?

He and Ye Nan started searching underground nearby.

About half an hour later, Liang Yuan found the entrance Ye Nan described.

The entrance was about five to six meters in diameter.

The entrance was long sealed with soil; without an Earth Attribute Superpower User, it would be tough to get in from here.

Outside the entrance, it had also collapsed. Liang Yuan thought for a moment and quickly led Ye Nan up through the earth layer.

Returning to the water, Liang Yuan surveyed the surroundings and discovered this was just an ordinary rock coral cluster, but the spot under his feet had a significant depression!

A scene flashed rapidly in Liang Yuan’s mind.

When the Abyss Island beast was alive, something pierced through its body, creating this wound, which exposed the blood vessel path to the inside.

Liang Yuan speculated that during its lifetime, it had experienced a battle, and this entrance was probably pierced by external force.

After death, it became a Floating Island. Over the years, a large amount of sand and dirt accumulated on the corpse. Eventually, under unbearable weight, it sank from a Floating Island to the sea bottom, forming Abyss Island.

Thus, it became what it is today.

Liang Yuan immediately took Ye Nan and submerged underground again.

This time, they directly passed through the entrance into the blood vessel path.

"Phew, finally made it in!"

Through the earth, the two finally appeared in a spacious passage.

The passage’s sides glowed with dark red, resembling an eerie atmosphere from a horror film.

Behind them was a pile of damp earth, collapsed from above, filling the whole passage.

If it weren’t for superpower users skilled in Earth Escape, it would be impossible to come in from outside.

Liang Yuan said to Ye Nan, "You’re familiar with this place; you lead the way next."

"Ah, follow me," Ye Nan quickly led the way.

This blood vessel path crisscrossed, turning a few dozen meters in, with numerous branches.

Ye Nan reached a branch, looked down, and said, "Mr. Liang, look, this is the ’route marker’ we left when we first came in, to prevent getting lost."

Indeed, at the branch in the blood vessel path, there was a scorched black arrow.

It seemed to be burned in by fire.

Liang Yuan smiled, "Not bad, following the route markers, we should soon find your Island Lord and the others."

Ye Nan also smiled broadly, "I only hope the Island Lord and the others are safe."

Then, with Ye Nan leading the way, they meandered through this vast blood vessel path.

Before long, they arrived at a more open area.

The blood vessel path suddenly widened considerably.

Ye Nan whispered, "Mr. Liang, be careful, this is a danger zone; a group of Mutant Beasts resides here."

Liang Yuan asked, "What kind of Mutant Beasts?"

"Furry, ball-like Mutant Beasts, but they secrete large amounts of mucus that’s highly corrosive."

"Not only that, but they also self-detonate to spray corrosive liquid in large quantities."

"We suffered quite a loss here back then."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Let’s go and take a look together."

As he spoke, Spirit directly activated the Shadow Ability, transforming the two of them into shadows and quickly sneaked out.

Soon, they entered this spacious area.

The entire space was massive, sinking dozens of meters, accumulating a large amount of viscous liquid inside, forming a vast lake.

In the lake, the furry Exotic Beasts that Ye Nan had mentioned were densely packed, rolling and swimming within.

Liang Yuan noticed that in the lake, some skeletons occasionally floated, which was extremely terrifying.

"Mr. Liang, be very careful. These liquids are highly corrosive. Once you fall in, you’ll be instantly corroded to bare bones," Ye Nan hastily reminded.

Liang Yuan said, "In the Shadow World, these substances can’t harm you or me, rest assured."

He took Ye Nan directly from the shadows into the lake’s surface, swiftly crossing over it.

Long black pillars appeared around them, densely packed like bare tree trunks.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but recall seeing similar things back in Mist City.

He’s no longer a newbie. Now, he can guess that this place is most likely the stomach space inside the corpse of Abyss Island.

The liquid inside is probably residual gastric acid.

The dense tree trunks are likely the villi on the gastric walls.

Those floating skeletons are probably parasitic beasts accidentally falling in and being corroded and digested.

The entire stomach lake isn’t too large, just a few hundred meters.

However, Ye Nan reminded, "Mr. Liang, no need to go directly across; we entered a new blood vessel route through a side entrance."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan looked around and saw plenty of passages leading to blood vessel routes surrounding them.

He quickly led Ye Nan into one of the side passages.

At this passage entrance, they discovered directional arrow markers again.

The two of them entered and continued forward, passing through one broad blood vessel route after another, the road ahead becoming increasingly wide.

Before long, a vast space appeared before them.

"Mr. Liang, look, it’s right here where we settled down,"

Ye Nan suddenly pointed to a place not far away in this space, where there was a bunch of camping gear in a layer of meat walls.

Not only that, there were several figures patrolling nearby.

Furthermore, a few sentries lingered on the outskirts, vigilant of their surroundings.

Ye Nan excitedly said, "Everyone is still here; it seems they haven’t encountered any danger."

Liang Yuan immediately brought him out from the shadows.

Ye Nan couldn’t wait to run toward the camping area, shouting, "Great Island Lord! Dr. Jiang! Captain Ling River, I’m back, I’m back!"

His shout immediately caught the attention of the people camped here.

Instantly, several figures hurried over.

"Ye Nan’s voice? Is that you, Ye Nan?"

"Is it really Ye Nan? They’ve been out for almost ten days, haven’t they?"

"Listen, it’s really Ye Nan’s voice!"

"Quick, quick, go check it out."

Many people gathered around; soon someone raised a torch and saw Ye Nan clearly.

"Ye Nan! It’s really Ye Nan!"

"Captain Liu, Brother Wang, it’s really Ye Nan!"

"Quick, go report to the Great Island Lord and the others."

Seeing his familiar companions, Ye Nan was also moved to tears, embracing them and crying together.

Everyone eagerly questioned Ye Nan about what happened during this time.

Ye Nan hadn’t had time to speak when they heard a hurried sound of footsteps approaching.

Wang Ling’Er appeared, wearing a golden crown, a white dress, followed by the blonde Jiang Ziyin, and the cute Wang Yu’Er, with a tall young man hurriedly approaching.

The young man spoke first, excitedly stepping forward and hugging Ye Nan, saying, "Xiao Nan! It’s really you! You’re alive!"

Ye Nan, with red eyes from excitement, shouted, "Captain Ling, I — sob — my brothers all died, only Old Chai and a few of us are left."

Seeing his former friends, Ye Nan couldn’t hold back his grief anymore and cried loudly.

Ling River quickly asked, "What happened? You went out to find food, how come you didn’t come back?"

At this moment, Wang Ling’Er came up and asked, "Ye Nan, what on earth happened?"

Ye Nan stopped his grief and tearfully replied, "Island Master, after we went out last time, we kept walking through the cave entrance and ended up in an ancient tomb, where we encountered a group of Merfolk."

"The Merfolk were very powerful; after they captured us, we were imprisoned in a dungeon. Luckily, we met Mr. Liang, who rescued us. Old Chai and I survived to see you again."

Wang Ling’Er’s eyes widened in shock and joy, asking, "Who? Who did you encounter?"

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang Yuan from Yangshan."

Wang Ling’Er was overjoyed, and Jiang Ziyin and Wang Yu’Er beside her were equally delighted.

"You met Mr. Liang?"

"Brother Ye Nan, did you tell Mr. Liang about our situation now? Didn’t he say he would come to rescue us?" Wang Yu’Er hurriedly asked.

Jiang Ziyin also quickly asked, "Wait, how did you get back?"

She then realized that this place is an underwater abyss island, and Ye Nan, as a Genetic Species expert, how did he return?

Wang Ling’Er also realized this, but before she could ask, they saw a figure emerging from the shadows not far behind Ye Nan.

The newcomer smiled and said, "Long time no see, everyone."

It was Liang Yuan, smiling as he looked at everyone.

At that moment, everyone on Spirit Jade Island was filled with joy.

Wang Ling’Er’s eyes reddened, suddenly feeling a sense of peace.
