A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 313 - 248 Deep in the Earth Valley_2

Chapter 313: Chapter 248 Deep in the Earth Valley_2

Duanmu Huai walked at the front, answering casually as he did. In fact, similar mysterious rumours existed in his original world too, such as the Underground Empire and atmospheric creatures. Verne even wrote “Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, recording a whole other world beneath the surface. As for the people living underground, they are already a hot topic in street magazines.

“Uh… I always find it a bit creepy, thinking about other creatures that we don’t know about living underground…”

Ann folded her arms, shuddering involuntarily, while Felin spoke up in her calm voice.

“But I think it’s good, we can see different scenery.”

“Huh? Felin, you want to go and see?”

“It would be much better if we didn’t have to walk.”

...

While saying this, Felin cast a glance at Duanmu Huai, who just shook his head.

“Don’t complain anymore, this is an underground tunnel, it’s good enough that we can walk through.”

For Duanmu Huai, it was encouraging enough not to be stuck inside it.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

However, at this moment, Lorena, who was walking at the back, suddenly let out a shriek.

“What’s up, Lorena?”

Hearing Lorena’s scream, everyone turned their heads towards her, only to see her extending a pale hand, pointing at a writhing black shadow behind her.

“What, what is that thing?!”

“Huh?”

Duanmu Huai pointed his flashlight in that direction and saw a large bug, over three meters in length, slowly crawling out from the path they had just traveled. It resembled a caterpillar, its back covered with a shell as hard as rock… it looked quite disgusting.

Despite its strange appearance, the bug seemed to have a slow reaction. It didn’t react to Duanmu Huai’s light shining directly on it and continued to crawl forward at a slow pace.

“Ah, don’t worry, that’s a Driller Worm.”

At this moment, Kate hurriedly started to explain.

“Although it looks a bit strange, these insects are not carnivorous; they mainly create tunnels underground and consume various minerals. They usually have slow reactions and lack hostility, however…”

At this point, Kate took a wary look around.

“According to some traveling nomads who have ventured underground, where there are Driller Worms, the Beast Race is not far behind.”

“That’s fine, I need a slight workout.”

Hearing Kate’s words, Duanmu Huai stretched a bit. After walking this far he was getting a bit bored. Taking down some mole rats could be a good exercise.

“I will also do my best to protect everyone.”

At this moment, Kate also raised her gun and spoke. To be honest, she still didn’t quite understand why a group of steel warriors would take these girls deep underground. Judging by their appearances, they didn’t appear to be soldiers- perhaps they were scientists or medics?

Anyway, seeing how delicate and weak these ladies appeared, who looked unable to bear any burden, Kate believed they certainly were not good at fighting. At this point, with only one strong black soldier left, even if he was very strong, he was just one person. By any account, she considered herself more combat-ready than these delicate ladies.

Meanwhile, everyone had reached the end of this tunnel. As they turned the corner, they found a sudden wide underground space before their eyes. However, what was even more striking was a wall blocking the underground passage. The patterns carved on the wall, and the torches inserted around, made it clear that it was not a natural underground scene.

Of course not, the gun positions on the wall and the Beast Race patrolling above made it obvious.

“Well then, let’s get moving. Leave any escaping enemies to you.”

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai turned around and said something, then he tightened his grip on his War Hammer. Ogis and Bambi skillfully hopped onto his shoulders. The very next moment, Duanmu Huai crouched and roared. With the jetstreams from his jetpack, he leapt up and swung his War Hammer straight towards the Beast Race soldiers on the wall!

Duanmu Huai came with an imposing force. The Beast Race soldiers weren’t blind; naturally they saw him. The soldiers controlling the turret quickly shifted the barrel, aiming at Duanmu Huai in mid-air. However, before they could even fire, they saw Bambi stretching out his hand and pointed forwards. Hundreds of bats appeared out of nowhere and flapped straight towards the Beast Race soldiers. Caught unprepared, the Beast Race soldiers were surrounded by the swarm of bats and fell off the high wall with screams of terror.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai had also reached above the city wall, dropping from the sky.

“BOOM!!!”

The battle commenced with the crash of Duanmu Huai’s Thunder Warhammer.

As Duanmu Huai launched his attack, the Beast Race soldiers also noticed the other girls. They saw several fully armed Beast Race soldiers rushing towards them, their weapons raised, spraying bullets towards the girls.

“Watch out!!”

Hearing the gunfire, Kate did a quick roll then hid behind a shield, calling out a warning. However, to her surprise, the girls didn’t scramble to hide in panic as she had expected, but remained standing in place… Had they been scared silly?

However, what happened next was beyond Kate’s imagination.

Facing the Beast Race soldiers, Felin opened her mouth and breathed out lightly towards them. The next moment, Kate felt a chilling breeze brush past her. At the same time, rows of ice walls sprang up from the ground, blocking the bullets from the Beast Race soldiers.

What was going on? Where did these ice walls come from??

Before Kate could figure out what had happened, she saw Ann pull out the Magic Book from her waist and flip it open. She waved her hand in the air, and a gust of wind howled up from the ground. The wind picked up several Beast Race soldiers, flinging them towards the nearby Stalagmite, headfirst, smashing them into pieces.

“??? ”

Seeing this, Kate was completely dumbfounded, she even forgot about the battle. Her eyes bulged in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Just as she processed this, accompanied by a loud roar, a few Beast Race soldiers jumped down from the side platform, charging at the girls with roars. At the same time, Kate saw a strange-looking girl dressed in a long robe, resembling a mage, Lani, suddenly levitate. She curled up her body and swung forward, releasing a chilly moon beam, smashing straight into the Beast Race soldiers.

“Bang!!”

The moonbeam shattered with the impact, knocking the Beast Race soldiers backward. Before they could recover, Lani lifted her Magic Wand. In the next moment, countless meteors were shot out from its top, directly hitting the Beast Race soldiers and turning them into corpses.

Am I dreaming?

The scene before her left Kate’s mind completely blank. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Just then, suddenly, a loud noise erupted.

“Bang!!”

The ice walls created by Felin were shattered. A Berserk Female Beastmen charged at the girls with a roar.

Not good!

The Berserk Female Beastmen’s roar snapped Kate back to reality. She hurriedly lifted her gun and aimed at the female beast, firing frantically. But her bullets were virtually useless against it. Just then, Kate saw a petite figure in a white robe running out from the crowd. Lorena held the Holy Canon in her hands and jumped in front of the Berserk Female Beastmen.

“Angry souls, in the name of God, I shall purify your anger, and let you fall into eternal sleep!”

With Lorena’s prayer, she smacked the Holy Canon hard on the face of the Berserk Female Beastmen.

The next moment, the Berserk Female Beastmen was knocked backward and landed heavily on the ground, breathless.

“…………”

Seeing this, Kate was entirely speechless.

Could it be… I’m dreaming?
