Chapter 234 Wounded
"This scale is very special. It's on her chest, like a gemstone. I felt it was very important, so I secretly plucked it." Lu Xiaoxiao was afraid that these people would abandon her once they got the item, so she quickly revealed the information and surrendered.
Ji Xingyi: "Legend has it that there is a scale on the neck of a dragon that grows backwards, which is the weak point of the dragon's body. Touching the dragon's reverse scale will surely enrage it. This scale may also be very important to mermaids."
"If Mona really is a mermaid, then our previous speculations have been overturned." Jiang Lin originally thought that the five red nameplates represented the five siren in the game. But now that Lu Xiaoxiao has confirmed that Mona is a mermaid, the logic has completely become messed up again.
As Jiang Lin pondered, he held the fish scales in his hand. Suddenly, his fingertips stung with pain. The edges of the fish scales were very sharp, and he accidentally cut himself.
Jiang Lin's gaze paused, and his spiritual senses keenly detected the intrusion of a strange power as the blood dripped.
This strange power is actually very similar to the blue blood that Ivy injected into him!
Ji Xingyi: "Watch out!"
"It's alright." Jiang Lin used his mental power to isolate the invading, strange force. A whimsical idea popped into his mind: perhaps sirens and mermaids have some kind of special connection!
“It’s bleeding.” Ji Xingyi grabbed Jiang Lin’s hand, saw that there was still blood coming out of his fingertips, put it in his mouth and licked it.
Jiang Lin looked up at Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi's ear tip turned slightly red: "Didn't you say that saliva can stop pain?"
Jiang Lin glanced at Lu Xingtong out of the corner of her eye and deliberately moved her fingers. Ji Xingyi cleared her throat, grabbed Jiang Lin's hand and pressed it down, giving her a reproachful glare.
Jiang Lin innocently shook her finger: "It hurts."
"Ouch, my foot!" Lu Xiaoxiao's face turned green. "Am I part of your game?" But the words that came out were pleading: "Don't leave me behind!"
Jiang Lin chuckled, and Ji Xing flicked his finger, using his blood tentacles to pull Lu Xiaoxiao up.
Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and sighed inwardly: Jiang Yu was right. Although Jiang Lin was difficult to deal with, he was still a man of his word.
"Brother Ji, how do we get out?" Lu Xingtong finally found a chance to speak.
Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin described the terrain: "There's only one elevator leading up. If they can't find us, they'll definitely be guarding the elevator."
Jiang Lin: "Which direction is the elevator in?"
Ji Xingyi pointed behind him.
Jiang Lin looked in the opposite direction of the elevator and said, "Let's take the passenger elevator."
Lu Xiaoxiao looked confused: "What did you say? Isn't there only one elevator?"
Jiang Lin: "Only the staff elevators reach the second basement level. But the ship's structure is symmetrical, so theoretically, the passenger elevators should also be able to reach the second basement level. I guess it was blocked when the Eden was converted into the Noah."
Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingtong didn't understand, but Ji Xingyi reacted: "Although the elevator won't reach the second basement level, the elevator shaft is still there! I understand, let's go."
Ji Xingyi led the way, and the group carefully navigated around the abandoned dormitory area before stopping at a dark corner.
Ji Xingyi: "The area ahead is their testing zone, guarded. Be careful."
Jiang Lin looked up at the familiar ventilation duct: "Let's go up there."
The final boss of the game hasn't even appeared yet, and Jiang Lin doesn't want Ji Xingyi to reveal all his trump cards. After all, it's the Yellow Springs dungeon, and Jiang Lin isn't arrogant enough to underestimate the boss's abilities.
Ji Xing nodded, opened the ventilation duct, and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Gentlemen, isn't it a bit much to make a disabled person clear the way?" Lu Xiaoxiao's forehead creased with three black lines.
Ji Xingyi glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao's severed hand, then turned to Lu Xingtong and said, "Xingtong, I'll take you up first."
Lu Xingtong was a little scared, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she could only nod and pretend to be strong.
Lu Xiaoxiao followed closely behind, and Ji Xingyi took over the rear after sending Jiang Lin up.
The passageway was too dark, and Lu Xingtong was trembling all over. The more cautious she became, the slower her pace. After a while, Lu Xingtong led her team to the ventilation duct gate above the laboratory.
Lu Xingtong looked down curiously and saw a huge pool with water that was an icy blue color that emitted a fluorescent glow.
Something seemed to be soaking in the pool; Lu Xingtong could only see two shadows.
At the edge of the pool, eight siren-like creatures, still humanoid in appearance but with blue skin, were on guard, each wielding a steel fork.
"Hurry up!" Lu Xiaoxiao called out softly when she saw Lu Xingtong dawdling.
Lu Xingtong immediately crawled forward, but because she was too nervous, she didn't notice that her long hair got caught on a screw. With a tug, the hair clip fell off her head! It even fell through the gap in the ventilation duct grille!
"Pfft!"
"What is that!" The siren on guard instantly noticed the anomaly.
Lu Xingtong turned pale with fright and scrambled toward the passage ahead.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened like copper bells. She had long suspected that Lu Xingtong was useless, but she didn't expect him to be this useless. She also hurriedly ran for her life.
Just as Jiang Lin climbed to the ventilation shaft, the siren below arrived and thrust her steel fork into the shaft.
Although Jiang Lin dodged to the side, he was still pricked in the side because the pipe was narrow.
"Linlin!" Ji Xingyi, disregarding the possibility of being exposed again, used his blood tentacles to sever the necks of the two sea monsters.
"I'm fine." Jiang Lin gritted her teeth and hurried through the passage.
The four people came out of the ventilation duct.
Lu Xingtong sobbed, "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, it's all my fault!"
Jiang Lin ignored the man. He heard the siren's voice and knew that the siren was using special sound waves to summon their companions. He immediately shouted, "Run!"
Lu Xiaoxiao grabbed Lu Xingtong and ran. Ji Xingyi used his blood tentacles to drag a bunch of debris to block the road, hoping to buy some more time. Seeing Jiang Lin's waist and abdomen covered in blood, he quickly picked him up and fled.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingtong waited anxiously at the dead end of the passage. As soon as Ji Xingyi arrived, the blood tentacles immediately pierced through the wall, then tore a large gash in the entire steel wall like tearing a soda can.
"The elevator shaft! This is it!" Lu Xiaoxiao exclaimed with delight.
