Era of Disaster

Chapter 85: Start Of Escape

The research facility was very big, and could be split into three general sections. The upper section was used to conduct various research, the mother hive was used to imprison the Progenitor, while the lower section was used to imprison the other experimental monsters. Comparatively, the lower section was much larger than the upper section, and even a single hive was larger than the entire upper section. After all, many of the experimental monsters were huge in size.

Right below the upper section and right above Yeye's main computer room was the original location of the mother hive, and also the blind spot of the research facility. The so-called blind spot referred to the method of construction, concealing a section within the construction so that from the surface it seemed like that section didn't exist at all.

However, after the Progenitor erupted, the mother hive and the upper section got ripped through and the blind spot lost all of its purpose. The Progenitor was then moved to another location, a temporarily prison.

Over this month, Bai Yi's group also got to know of the existence of the Progenitor from Yeye, and the Progenitor wanted to meet with them as well.

The Progenitor did not say why she wanted to meet with them, but Yeye seemed to be very encouraging of them to meet with the Progenitor. Of course, they had to meet with the Progenitor before she died. After her eruption before, and due to all operations stopping in the research facility and not recovering, she couldn't hold on for much longer.

Otherwise, Bai Yi would definitely not want to switch off Yeye's main computer so early.

Their position was now in Yeye's main computer room, and the Progenitor's position was below the fourth and fifth hives. To get there, they had to return to the first hive, go to the the upper section and enter the fourth or fifth hive's passageway from there. Then could they reach the temporarily holding location of the Progenitor.

Actually, it was actually quite ridiculous, the main computer room was actually directly connected to the fifth hive, but they couldn't use that passageway because… Woolf couldn't fit through.

The five hives all had a passageway towards the main computer room, it wasn't too narrow, and a normal human would have no problems passing through it. However, with Woolf's size now he was completely unable to squeeze through the passageway. Knowing that the rest of them had to detour and undertake more risk because of him, he couldn't help but feel sorry and embarrassed.

……

After meeting up with Woolf again, they immediately rushed towards the first hive. Along the way, they met many mindless gene-fused monsters running around everywhere. The reason why Bai Yi's group did not wait for all the monsters to leave in the main computer room was because Yeye reminded them to not drag on any longer, as the Progenitor couldn't wait anymore.

After swallowing Hong Qi Hua, the Progenitor's lifeforce depleted even more rapidly!

Although all the experimental monsters were running everywhere, one sure thing was that the majority of them would not leave this place. There was at least a 90% chance that this research facility would become a terrifying nest of monsters.

Since they knew the route, their movements were very fast, and they went out of the passageway before the first batch of monsters managed to rush out. Bai Yi walked in front, holding the broadsword in his hands, with his mimicry eyes already activated. Now was definitely not the time to battle, as any time wasted could result in life-threatening danger.

Everyone sprinted quickly, and Bai Yi did not intentionally use his mimicry eyes towards any particular gene-fused monsters, but simply just used the confusion effect of his eyes. When these monsters were befuddled by Bai Yi's eyes, the group of them had already rapidly ran past them. At this time, they finally realized how useful Bai Yi's mimicry eyes were.

Moreover, this kind of usage would not deplete Bai Yi's energy. After all, had anybody seen any lifeform getting tired from displaying its camouflaging colors for too long? That was by nature the outer appearance of certain lifeforms.

They came through another door, and when making a turn, Bai Yi suddenly stopped. In that direction was the giant door where they had frenziedly fought for their lives. Based on what Yeye said, Hong Qi Hua had died right outside that door. After seeing Bai Yi stop, they immediately looked towards that direction as well.

"Let's go!"

Bai Yi said suddenly just when they thought Bai Yi would want to go over and take a look; the time that he paused for was not even two seconds. After Bai Yi started running again, the rest of them immediately followed and ran after him.

Pain… It was needless to say that Bai Yi was in pain. However, since they were still alive, they needed to work hard for the friends that were still alive, and not ruminate on their past sorrows.

The group them were the fastest to leave, but very quickly they discovered a passageway blocked simply with concrete. This place was right on top of the mother hive, when the Progenitor erupted they blocked the hole simply, and nobody bothered about it anymore after that.

Bai Yi's group ran across the ruined upper section, and entered the passageway of the fourth hive. At this time, at the passageway of the third hive, out flew a giant bat monster. This giant bat paused in mid-air in a damaged hall, and looked towards the direction that Bai Yi's group were running in.

"Bat?" Augustine asked.

"Hisss~~!" The bat hissed and looked towards where Bai Yi's group was now, although in reality it neither needed its eyes to see things, nor did it need to face anywhere.

As long as the gene-fused monsters did not lose their rationality during the LV1-2 Brutal Phase, they would all possess decent intelligence in the later stages. This giant bat initially wanted to fly outside. Actually, if they passed through this level and flew up a few hundred meters more, they could enter the giant hole created by the Progenitor and get out.

"What's over there?" Augustine asked.

Augustine was also very smart. From the bat's appearance, he could tell that it had definitely used its ultrasonic waves to 'see' something.

"Hissss~." The bat suddenly hissed again, and fiercely flapped its wings, ramming itself into the ceiling above it. 'Kacha!', the bat immediately smashed a huge hole into the ceiling. The bat then continued to smash its way upwards for over a hundred meters, then suddenly changed its direction and flew into the giant hole left behind by the Progenitor, escaping into the sky.

Augustine stunned for a moment but started laughing after, and powerfully jumped up after the bat.

Bat is really quite decisive! Even if it saw something special it didn't go to look at it out of curiosity, but it followed through with its original goal, escaping!

Clearly knowing that things were strange, but still managing to control the curiosity and desire in its heart was something not common even in humans. One must know that many times curiosity had killed the cat.

If Bat could endure that kind of desire, Augustine would obviously not be willing to lose to it. Augustine understood as well, even if they would miss their fate with something by doing so, it was also similarly a way to take advantage of their fortune and avoid disaster. At the very least, they wouldn't die for some unknown reason. However, even if these two LV2 beasts could resist, it didn't mean that the others could. For example, Qin Tian He who came out from the second hive.

In that direction… Is there something there?

Qin Tian He hesitated for a moment and suddenly changed direction to run towards the fourth passageway. He wasn't afraid because he was a LV2. Among all the experimental subjects here, he was at the top.

……

Monsters had already appeared in the passageway entering the fourth hive, and in much larger numbers than in the first hive. With so many monsters getting red-eyed from all the killing, they had no choice but to act this time.

Confusion, and in that instant of hesitation in their enemies Bai Yi demonstrated his exquisite sword skills. With Bai Yi being the vanguard, all the normal monsters who met with him did not have much ability to fight back; perhaps they would only awaken due to the immense pain when they are died. The increasingly dense smell of blood in the air agitated all the gene-fused monsters, causing the killing to become even more savage.

"Bai Yi, Woolf." Heloise reminded.

Bai Yi turned his head, and realised that Woolf had signs of going berserk again. Sure enough, after entering the Brutal Phase it was very easy to enter the berserk state under conditions of battle and blood. However, fortunately Heloise had always been paying attention to Woolf and discovered it early. Bai Yi immediately looked towards Woolf's direction.

"Woolf, look at me."

After hearing Bai Yi's words, Woolf immediately looked over. After all, Woolf had not completely lost his mind now. In that instant when Woolf turned his head, colored patterns appeared on Bai Yi's eyes, appearing very extraordinarily fantastical.

Mimicry Eyes - Intimidation Hypnosis!

Calm!

The brutality in Woolf's eyes gradually started to calm down, and his mouth cracked open into an embarrassed smile to Bai Yi. Along the way, they really had spent much energy and effort because of him. If not for him, they could have entered the fourth hive through the main computer room and reached where the Progenitor was. However, Woolf didn't say anything more as well. Bai Yi would never abandon him in that place by himself, so he just had to remember all this in his heart.

After Woolf calmed down, the rest of them continued killing their way out, entering a passageway at the fourth level of the fourth hive. There was a really huge lift here, after all the Progenitor was extremely large as well. They could reach where the Progenitor was through taking this lift.

"Are we taking the lift?" Woolf asked.

Before Bai Yi could reply, all of a sudden sounds of crashing and crumbling came from below them, and they felt intense shaking all around them, almost like if the entire place was going to collapse. Bai Yi's eyes squinted, and in the distance, he could see a familiar head… Great Devil Snake!

This guy was definitely the most terrible LV2.1 defective Metamorpohse Stage lifeform to meet. Of course, other than having something wrong with its head, its power was absolutely terrifying.

Looking at the broken wall by the passageway, Woolf did not continue speaking as well. Taking the lift at this time was the same as looking for death, the Progenitor was more than 500 meters below them. If the lift got damaged while they were in it, they would be squashed like a sandwich cookie when they fell. However, the most important thing was that there weren't any stairs leading downwards.

Chapter 86: The Magical Pupu

That's right, there weren't any stairs leading down. Not every building had to have stairs, and this place didn't have one. In truth, during construction, nobody planned of going all the way down on foot. Looking at the head of the Great Devil Snake only a hundred plus meters away and the numerous gene-fused monsters running around messily looking for the exit, everyone turned to look at Bai Yi instead.

"Go down!" Bai Yi said.

Everyone felt quite confused, they knew they had to go down, but how? Very quickly, they understood what Bai Yi meant by go down. Bai Yi came to the front of the lift that had a gap in it due to the destruction, and pressed the down button. The lift doors slowly opened, however Bai Yi did not enter, but stared upwards through the ceiling.

Unless!

Everyone had guessed how Bai Yi intended to get down, he wasn't planning on taking the lift but through the cables moving the lift on top. In actuality, based on everybody's physical abilities now, it was better to use the cables to slide down rather than to wait inside the lift anxiously. However, they must first wait for the lift itself to descend, otherwise, none of them would be able to survive if such a large steel box fell on their heads halfway.

Bai Yi looked at the lift, thinking about how he should do this. If this was a spoiled lift, they would have been able to access the cable more easily and not be so troublesome.

Just when Bai Yi was thinking, a few gene-fused monsters pounced towards them. These gene-fused monsters wouldn't think about whom they were attacking, and of course wouldn't purposely avoid Bai Yi's group. A few of the brainless and mindless gene-fused monsters saw Bai Yi's group, and judged them for a moment. Upon discovering that they didn't seem to be as powerful as themselves, they immediately pounced over.

Really so troublesome!

Looking at the five gene-fused monsters, Bai Yi couldn't help but to pause his thoughts for now and put his attention into dealing with these monsters. His strength hadn't reached the stage where he could instantly kill any of these monsters, and it would be quite an effort to deal with any one of them.

Woolf and Heloise blocked one monster, Sharpei and Pupu blocked another, Mavis and Warner blocked the third one while Bai Yi went up against the remaining two. While running, Bai Yi's eyes already looked towards one of the monsters, and his pupils abruptly contracted, the colored patterns blooming in his eyes, appearing extravagantly beautiful.

Mimicry eyes!

Confusion hypnosis!

The gene-fused monster with its wide open mouth immediately blanked out in the air. After pausing for a moment it turned its head around clamped its jaws onto the neck of the other monster that came with him.

Why do I suddenly feel that the meat of this guy is tastier?

After getting attacked by his initial 'partner', the other monster would definitely not do nothing and immediately struggled and counterattacked. The two monsters started clashing and rolling on the floor, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

At this time, Bai Yi had jumped up fiercely from the floor, and borrowing strength from Sharpei's tail he flipped across over the head of Sharpei's opponent. While spinning in the air, Bai Yi's eyes stared directly into a pair of eyes that grew on the crown of the monster's head. Their gazes locked, and the monster's body instantly paused for a split-second. Behind Bai Yi, Sharpei's scorpion-like tail took the chance and shot out like a bullet, piercing into the head of this monster.

When Bai Yi landed, Pupu suddenly looked at Bai Yi and it fell on the floor with a 'pa!'.

Eh?

Weird, did I hypnotise this guy?

Just when Bai Yi was feeling surprised, Sharpei suddenly barked ferociously towards something behind him. Bai Yi then realized that in the other direction, an initially ferocious looking gene-fused monster was constricted by the body of the Great Devil Snake. Multiple 'kacha!' sounds came from all over its body, and an enormous force ripped and broke apart its flesh and bones. After that, the Great Devil Snake viciously crunched down upon its head and pulled, the sharp teeth of Great Devil Snake immediately twisted off the head of the monster that was about as big as the head of a car, ferociously grinding and crunching.

The Great Devil Snake raised its head and roared, extraordinarily vicious and sinister.

So it's like that, Pupu this fat pig saw the Great Devil Snake and pretended to be dead… Pretend to be dead, huh!

Although he became familiar with Pupu's intelligence and laziness over this period of time, when he saw Pupu like this now his eyebrows still twitched involuntarily. This bastard, what are you acting dead for?! That Great Devil Snake wasn't even coming over here, coming… Bai Yi immediately turned his head around and suddenly discovered that the Great Devil Snake seemed to be attracted by something and was really slithering over here.

Damn it, Pupu wasn't actually acting dead for no reason, this pig actually realised one step ahead that the Great Devil Snake was coming over.

Bai Yi now didn't have the time to think about just how Pupu knew of the Great Devil Snake movements one step earlier. At this time, Bai Yi's mind and body were extremely tense, and he rapidly analyzed how to deal with this Great Devil Snake. He didn't even help Woolf and the rest out, but carefully analyzed the surroundings and the Great Devil Snake.

Hurry, hurry up and think of an idea!

Just when Bai Yi was still thinking, the Great Devil Snake had already slithered over and raised its huge head high up. In the end, Bai Yi's brain still couldn't think fast enough, he really couldn't figure out how to deal with this guy in such a short period of time.

When the Great Devil Snake reached right in front of Bai Yi, his mind was still empty. Damn it… Bai Yi could only open his eyes once again, pushing the power of his mimicry eyes to the biggest. The Great Devil Snake did not have eyes, but the few tentacles on the side of its head had some light sensing organs. Bai Yi could only pray that his eyes had an effect on this monster.

The Great Devil Snake stopped, raised its head and paused for a split-second. Just when Bai Yi was feeling glad that it seemed to work, the Great Devil Snake suddenly opened its enormous mouth and ferociously bit downwards. This time, no matter how Bai Yi used the mimicry eyes, there was no effect at all and the Great Devil Snake was completely unaffected.

Pupu who was initially acting dead immediately rolled and ran faster than anybody else, hiding at the rear-most area. However, when Pupu passed by Sharpei, it suddenly got slapped hard by Sharpei's tail, and rolled on the floor. After climbing back up, Pupu looked at Sharpei and Sharpei also opened its sinister-looking mouth at Pupu, releasing a low growl. Seeing Sharpei's viciousness, Pupu immediately walked back timidly in fear, and stood behind Sharpei. From the looks of it, Pupu seemed to be quite afraid of Sharpei, or rather, Sharpei was Pupu's boss.

At this time, Bai Yi swiftly crossed the broadsword in front of his body and blocked the Great Devil Snake's teeth. However, his entire body immediately got sent flying by an enormous force.

After getting rammed away, Sharpei immediately came up to clash with the Great Devil Snake, while Pupu hesitated for a moment, but followed in the end. However, Pupu just didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about it.

At this time, seeing the appearance of the Great Devil Snake, the few gene-fused monsters who were quite ferocious initially and wanted to run in here immediately turn tailed and ran as far away as they could. Even if they weren't too smart, a living organism's natural feelings about relative strength were quite clear, and they could obviously feel that the Great Devil Snake was something that they couldn't mess with. Even the two gene-fused monsters that were battling with Woolf, Mavis and the rest couldn't help but to feel fear rising in their hearts, and the few of them took this chance and killed the monsters.

Bai Yi bounced off the floor, and following the powerful momentum smashed into the wall behind him.

Woolf and Heloise had just finished off their opponent, and immediately charged and clashed with the Great Devil Snake with Sharpei. At this time, Bai Yi looked at the lift with its wide open door, and the wall that had cracks gradually appearing on it. Suddenly, an idea shot through his mind. Sure enough, ideas and things like that had an element of chance to it.

"Lure the Great Devil Snake to the lift, and shut the lift door! We must trap this guy inside! This guy will definitely destroy everything inside, and at that time the lift will fall down itself." Bai Yi shouted loudly towards everyone. The Great Devil Snake couldn't understand human speech anyway, he wasn't afraid of it hearing even if he shouted loudly.

The rest of them immediately understood the plan, this was actually a feasible plan. However, being able to think of a plan doesn't mean being able to execute it.

All of them were dancing on the edge now fighting the giant snake, and this passageway wasn't any wide open space to begin with. Or rather, luckily this place wasn't spacious, so the Great Devil Snake couldn't completely extend itself and couldn't even change direction easily. Every time the Great Devil changed direction it moved rather slowly, otherwise its head would smash into the wall of the passageway. Only by making use of this split-second of buffer could Woolf and the rest get enough time to dodge.

At this time, Woolf and the rest after the few attempts finally reached the center of the Great Devil Snake's body and started a full-out attack.

Perhaps, without using Bai Yi's plan they could finish this guy off.

However apparently, everybody was thinking too optimistically. The body of the Great Devil Snake was made of some unknown material, and it was incomparably hard. Their attacks couldn't even break the skin of the monster, and only a heavy strike from Woolf's great sword could leave a shallow wound on its body.

After a few iterations of this, the Great Devil Snake became smarter as well. Even if its head couldn't make a turn fast enough, its body could still move and shake about inside the passageway. Woolf had managed to hack its body a few times before its similarly huge body flicked Woolf away, and he smashed into the side of the passageway. Without giving Woolf time to dodge, the Great Devil Snake pressed its body against Woolf, dragging him along and grinding his body against the wall. Not to mention raising his sword, Woolf felt like all the bones in his body were getting crushed.

It wasn't just a feeling, but Woolf's bones were really getting crushed, and even the walls of the passageway continuously fell apart.

The Great Devil Snake also seemed to rise in its viciousness and playfulness, it was so hard to kill these few guys and they even made its body hurt. The relatively sturdy walls of the passageway started to crumble due to the writhing of the Great Devil Snake.

Bai Yi looked for Momo, and found her squatting cautiously at a corner of the passageway. Seemingly, Momo was quite safe now under this kind of attack from the Great Devil Snake. However, that was only for now.

Everyone tried to dodge miserably, and at the same time thought they probably had to use Bai Yi's plan.

Chapter 87: Absolutely Full Of Life

We have to hurry!

Everyone could judge that the Great Devil Snake was not something that they could contend with now. If not for the environment not being suited for the Great Devil Snake's movements, somebody would have been bitten by it long ago. Even so, the writhing and twisting of the Great Devil Snake's body still made everyone very miserable. In this short period of time Woolf who had the biggest size had many of his bones broken, and after the giant snake closed onto him, he couldn't even get the chance to raise his greatsword.

After making this judgement, Bai Yi immediately rushed towards the Great Devil Snake. Along the way, the Great Devil Snake continued to writhe around and smash everything around it. Bai Yi captured the trajectory of its movements with his eyes and managed to run through the gaps formed with great effort, finally sprinting right in front of the Great Devil Snake.

At this time, the Great Devil Snake's back was facing the lift, and with their strength they were definitely unable to force the Great Devil Snake in, unless it went in by itself. They could use bait, or…!

Bai Yi's broadsword hacked down brutally on one of its tentacles, and the force rippled through the tentacle, but Bai Yi's strike actually did not manage to hack it apart. When the few surrounding tentacles came reaching for him, Bai Yi's eyes widened suddenly.

Come and chase me!

In an instant, the Great Devil Snake that was already agitated by Bai Yi's actions seemed to have eaten aphrodisiacs. It immediately abandoned everyone else and pounced at Bai Yi.

"Sharpei, fling me into the lift with your tail!" Bai Yi shouted at Sharpei, not knowing if Sharpei actually understood him.

When the Great Devil Snake turned its body around, it immediately pounced and bit at Bai Yi at a shocking speed. At this moment, Bai Yi swiftly grabbed Sharpei's tail, and Sharpei understood his words as well and sent him flying into the lift with its thick and sturdy tail.

Its prey that was almost in its mouth disappeared, and the Great Devil Snake got even more infuriated, its giant mouth immediately crunched down on Sharpei's tail that didn't have the chance to withdraw yet. Sharpei immediately cried out in pain, but it started to struggle frenziedly and tore off its tail itself, rapidly escaping to the side. If it weren't for its decisiveness, Sharpei would have probably been trapped by a few tentacles and sent into the mouth of the Great Devil Snake.

Come and chase me!

When Bai Yi's body was still in the air, he turned his body in mid-air and his eyes widened again, attempting to entice the Great Devil Snake through hypnotism. Sure enough, after biting off Sharpei's tail, it did not continue to chase Sharpei but headed towards Bai Yi again.

Only heaven knew how fast snakes could pounce, Bai Yi's body was in mid-air from Sharpei's effort, but the Great Devil Snake almost caught up with him in a split-second. Everyone looked at the Great Devil Snake in shock and horror as its wide open mouth closed onto Bai Yi. At this time, Bai Yi, who was still in the air, had no ability to dodge. Even if they had faith in Bai Yi, just how was he supposed to deal with this now?

In reality, Bai Yi could not think of anything in his mind now either. There wasn't any time to think, so Bai Yi instinctively stabbed his broadsword towards one of the sharp teeth within the Great Devil Snake's mouth.

'Dang!'

The mouth of the Great Devil Snake that shot out heavily had not managed to bite onto Bai Yi, but its sharp teeth impacted the tip of the broadsword, and Bai Yi, who was gripping onto the broadsword tightly, flew out again. Blood and saliva splattered from the Great Devil Snake's mouth onto Bai Yi's face, and at this time Bai Yi had already reached the door of the lift. When going past the lift door, Bai Yi's left hand forcefully grabbed onto the door and swung himself towards the side of the lift, and pressed onto the 'close' button of the lift in mid-air.

'Kuang!', Bai Yi landed heavily inside the lift, and the Great Devil Snake practically brushed past Bai Yi's clothes and followed behind him inside the lift.

At this time, the lift door was slowly starting to close, but these few seconds were the most life-threatening. Normally, the lift would only start moving when the door was closed completely, and if the door closed onto something, it would open again. This was for the sake of safety, but at this time it became the most critical issue.

Bai Yi did not go out immediately. If he went out now and the Great Devil Snake followed him, then there was no meaning in whatever they did. The lift was extremely huge, and it could even fit the Great Devil Snake without any problems. When the giant snake chased all the way inside, it instantly bit viciously towards Bai Yi again. Bai Yi at this time could only try his best to dodge inside the lift, waiting as long as he could for the door to close.

However, one could imagine how dangerous it was facing such a Great Devil Snake in such an enclosed space. Within two seconds, Bai Yi was grazed by it twice, and with such a simple graze it almost broke all the bones in Bai Yi's body. At this moment, the lift door was almost closed.

"Bai Yi, come out!" Woolf shouted loudly outside.

"Come out Bai Yi! Hurry up and come out!" The rest of them shouted as well. The lift was very big, but the door was almost closed, if Bai Yi did not come out now there wouldn't be any chances anymore.

Hearing the voices of his companions, Bai Yi instantly focused his mind and sprinted outside. While running, Bai Yi abruptly jumped and turned his body around to face the Great Devil Snake, intending to borrow the strength of it to knock himself out like before. If he was just purely running, there was a 100% chance that the Great Devil Snake would catch him and bite onto him from behind.

However, this time, Bai Yi's broadsword just started to extend outwards before a tentacle came swinging from the side. The powerful impact instantly flung the broadsword from Bai Yi's hand, and his body was also flung aside from the force. At this moment, the rest of them looked on with shock and horror, and Bai Yi himself widened his eyes in shock. Don't tell me… I'm really going to die here?

I can't accept this!

Bai Yi's pupils contracted again, blood immediately flowing out of his eyes. In an instant, the Great Devil Snake received the intimidation and paused for a split-second. In that instant, Bai Yi went along with the force that flung him, landing at the corner of the lift and rolling. Bai Yi really did not know what to do now, he sat at the corner and saw the Great Devil Snake that got lightly intimidated pouncing over again.

Even if it was Bai Yi, his eyes were filled with despair at this time.

'KUANG DANG!', and he suddenly realised that the Great Devil Snake's mouth had stopped just a few centimeters from his face. In front of him was a giant black cavity with countless sharp teeth and shredded flesh, and Bai Yi's heart almost stopped beating from fright. Bai Yi wasn't a God, when facing danger, he only did his best not to think about the danger, and tried his best to use an absolutely calm way to deal with it. However, when facing this kind of sure-death situation, Bai Yi would similarly feel afraid.

The Great Devil Snake rammed into the sides of the lift!

Bai Yi only realized now that his body had subconsciously retreated all the way into the corner of the lift, and the three sides around him were all alloyed metal plates. The Great Devil Snake's mouth was too big, after opening its mouth it rammed directly onto the sides, missing him by just a few centimeters.

Bai Yi breathed heavily, looking at the closed lift door towards his left…Should I open it, if I open it now then all the effort would have been wasted. If the Great Devil Snake got released again, they may not have the chance to lure it inside the lift again.

When it discovered that it had not bitten into Bai Yi like it imagined, the Great Devil Snake blanked for a moment, and tried to bite a few more times, banging heavily onto the sides of the lift. The immense impact shook the lift and heavy sounds of impact rang out.

Woolf and the others were all stunned when they saw Bai Yi getting swept aside by the tentacle. When the lift door closed, they just happened to see the image of the Great Devil Snake pouncing towards the defenceless Bai Yi. Everyone stared at the closed lift door blankly, but Heloise immediately ran towards the door wanting to press the button to open it once again. None of them tried to stop her, if Bai Yi really died, they wouldn't be able to accept this outcome either.

When Bai Yi hesitated over if he should open the lift door again, Heloise had already pressed the button to open it.

At this moment, after banging onto the sides a few times, the Great Devil Snake couldn't help but to pull back its head by a bit. Seeing the opening in that instant, Bai Yi did not think about what to do after but instantly shot out from the side of the Great Devil Snake's body, dashing towards the door that just cracked open a small gap.

'KUANG!', the Great Devil Snake's all out strike caused an even greater impact, and the lift shook along with the entire building, cracks appearing on the floor. The lift door that just had a gap open immediately got stuck in that position. However, in this situation Bai Yi was instantly overjoyed, that small gap was enough for him to get across but definitely not the Great Devil Snake.

Bai Yi dashed all the way to the crack of the door, and immediately tried to rush out. However, all of a sudden, he felt a pulling force on his leg and his entire body started to get pulled backwards. One of the tentacles had grabbed onto Bai Yi's leg. Just when Bai Yi's hands grabbed onto empty air, Woolf's claw gripped tightly onto Bai Yi's hand, and cracked open a grin to him.

Just in time!

Two powerful strengths, one wrapping around Bai Yi's left leg, and one grabbing onto Bai Yi's right hand, made Bai Yi almost feel like he was getting ripped into half. In this difficult situation, Bai Yi turned his head with great difficulty and took out a kitchen knife from his back, and brutally hacked the tentacle curling around his leg.

Under Bai Yi's desperate hacking, the tentacle finally had signs of loosening, and making use of this opportunity Woolf and the others wrenched Bai Yi out from the lift. Behind Bai Yi, the Great Devil Snake rammed onto the lift door brutally, and dents appeared even on the metal alloy door. Seeing the lift door with more and more dents appearing, everybody felt quite terrified. This guy was really too fierce.

"Destroy the wall on top of the lift and break the cable, fast!" Bai Yi said to everyone.

After hearing Bai Yi's words, everyone started to destroy the wall on top of the lift, hurriedly trying to break the lift cable before the Great Devil Snake managed to escape. Otherwise, if they let the Great Devil Snake get out again, they couldn't think of any other ideas to deal with this guy.
