Chapter 1618: Chapter 1613: Netherworld Severed Current (8)

”So... could it be their destruction of the Netherworld?”

As it turned out, Expert Fu’s judgment was correct. After leaving that particular residence, without much effort, the two of them once again tracked down the centipede’s traces.

It doesn’t enter every door, but its ”sense of smell” isn’t that precise, so its movement path is still quite circuitous.

And as they observed the figure in the distance, resuming their previous journey, Lisa silently continued the topic of the Netherworld.

”It’s hard to say. You can probably feel that while this thing is stronger than that bat, it still lacks any divinity.”

However, Fu Qian shook his head at the possibility she raised, refraining from making a hasty judgment.

”In fact, up to now, we haven’t seen any of its kind with divinity.”

”So, just based on them, it seems difficult to have any effect on this place of lost souls, not to mention that from the perspective of power forms, they also seem somewhat similar.”

Fu Qian’s point was simple: these creatures are not on a high enough level.

”But you previously mentioned that the outside might be the corpse of a Deity. Could it be Him? And these things are just the products of decay?”

Regarding the situation Fu Qian mentioned, Lisa had no noticeable disagreement.

However, possibly due to her particularly meticulous documentation of experiences, she remembered the previous scientific expedition process very well.

”It’s hard to say, although it indeed sounds much more reasonable.”

Unfortunately, for her evolved speculation, Fu Qian’s answer remained unchanged.

”But in this case, the description seems to become a bit bizarre—”

Fu Qian thought for a moment and came up with a tongue-twister-like phrase.

”A Divine Being brings death to the land of death, and simultaneously perishes as well.”

....

Though it seemed not entirely impossible, Fu Qian’s description brought forth a vivid sense of absurdity.

Lisa was at a loss for words, resisting the urge to voice further opinions.

”However, in the scenario we just mentioned, there’s a very contradictory point. Did you notice it?”

Unfortunately, Professor Fu seemed not to offer the chance for silence, and seeing Lisa’s reticence, he directly questioned her next.

Contradictory point...

This expedition undoubtedly tested her intellect greatly, but Lisa didn’t mind and immediately put all her effort into thinking.

”A Deity’s corpse, but the decay products don’t carry any divinity?”

And she quickly came up with an answer that did not disappoint expectations.

”Yeah, isn’t that strange?”

Fu Qian immediately confirmed her guess was correct, looking quite gratified.

”The idea of a corpse indeed was my initial impression, and it still is, but such an exaggerated scene with no trace of divinity inside seems unusual, to be honest.”

”I think this might also be one of the reasons why the people of Linghui use it to refute the theory of Cass’ corpse.”

As they conversed, the target they were tracking had entered another door again.

And just as Lisa unconsciously slowed her pace, intending to wait briefly, Fu Qian unusually signaled to continue forward.

”Now that you mention it, so what do you think is the reason for this discrepancy?”

Despite finding it odd, Lisa, intrigued by the question, followed suit without protest and continued to ask.

”Hard to say.”

Unfortunately, for the third time, Fu Qian answered the same.

”However, finding the problem itself is rewarding; in our subsequent exploration, we can try to look for the answer with it in mind.”

....

”Alright.”

Though it was instructive, it was unassailable, prompting a sigh from Lisa, who stood still without pursuing further questions.

For one thing, they arrived at the entrance where the target was foraging, for another—

Some distance away was yet another stone pillar featuring a slightly different stone carving on its top.

”Should I swiftly charge into its range and take it down?”

Obviously not naive enough to wish it was merely a statue, Lisa proactively confirmed the action plan with Fu Qian.

In her view, this might very well be why he suddenly became so tight-knit—handling potential hazards to avoid interference during a future chase.

And her idea was straightforward: sprint close to it and eliminate it swiftly, preventing it from absorbing vitality and unleashing that troublesome attack.

”You still have inventory?”

Fu Qian responded noncommittally.

He keenly remembered that Professor Lisa mentioned that ”poisonous fang” recovered slowly.

”...Yes.”

Only, the person involved didn’t seem too grateful for this concern, replying tersely with a word, ready to act.

”But I won’t use it this time.”

Unfortunately, someone moved even faster than her.

Before the words finished, the special guest for this scientific expedition, Professor Fu, was already standing under the stone pillar.

Crack!

In the silence, the sound of breaking was so crisp.

Under Lisa’s wide-eyed gaze, Fu Qian did not attack the stone gargoyle above; instead, he directly used an arm to snap the stone pillar at its base.

What’s this guy trying to do?

Impressive though it was, it didn’t stop a barrage of question marks from popping up in Lisa’s mind.

But she didn’t have to endure the confusion for long, as he, in the next moment, held the stone pillar like a javelin, with the stone gargoyle atop aiming in the direction beyond the door.

This guy wouldn’t—

Boom!

The train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a loud bang as Lisa watched the stone pillar pierce through the door, the wall, and everything blocking its way.

....

”I don’t mind you taking it down now, but wasn’t your noise a bit excessive?”

The potential risk eliminated in the blink of an eye, Lisa quickly followed up, looking at the terrifying hole beside her, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

This guy, indeed, either doesn’t act, or when he does, it’s dramatic.

Even if that strike crushed the target directly, it’s hard to imagine that there’s only one of these roaming below.

The seismic-like commotion could likely attract who-knows-what.

”Is that thing dead? I don’t seem to see any trace.”

Of course, she didn’t expect Professor Fu to admit a mistake, and in the next moment, she peered through the opening.

”No.”

Fu Qian instantly concluded.

”Missed?”

A trace of suspicion appeared on Lisa’s face, clearly not quite convinced.

”Missed.”

Fu Qian maintained a straightforward demeanor.

Actually...

Before Lisa could say anything else, a clump of thin, reedy claws silently floated out from behind a wall.

Undoubtedly, it was the centipede they had been pursuing all along.

And at a glance, it was almost assuredly that the previous strike caused it no damage.

Deliberate?

Realizing something, Lisa looked at Fu Qian puzzledly, only to find him already standing right at the entrance.

And behind the wall, with claws fluttering, the headless body also protruded slightly, targeting him immediately.

A torrent of verdant light, mixed with the sound resembling the wails of souls, instantly filled the field of vision.
