Chapter 999


    Henry saw a spiral staircase in the center of the lounge room at the third level.


    "There was an elevator, but the cable is broken. Stairs are our only choice."


    "No problems. Let''s go," Without hesitation, Henry set out to go up.


    Fortunately, there was space inside the center of the spiral. Henry jumped up through there without


    using the steps.


    There was the watchtower on the top of the stairs. It was made out of ss. More than a dozen of


    screens were in the tower. A couple of them were showing static, which meant that the camera the


    screen connected to was broken. But the majority of the cameras were still working properly.


    In one of the video feeds, Henry saw argeke. Suddenly, a human-sized bird flew over theke,


    causing sshes. Then a three-meter-long fish leaped over the surface of theke. There was a


    pair of wings on the body of the fish. Judging by the look of it, this creature should be Luo Fish,


    whose description was on the screen on the first level of theb.


    The Luo Fish opened up its mouth in mid-air. It swallowed the human-sized bird and dived back into


    the water.


    The surface of theke then settled down as if nothing had happened. Soon, the water turned red.


    The other screen was showing the video feed of a mountain. A chimpanzee was standing in the


    mountain with its back facing the camera. Suddenly, its head turned around, revealing a human


    face!

    "Henry, ording to my observation, this chimpanzee, the fish in thatke, and these three


    creatures," Flynn pointed at the creatures showing on several monitor screens, "These are the


    bosses of each section. Other creatures are scared of getting too close to these areas. It seems


    that they are also scared of each other. So they each guarded their own area without trespassing


    into the other''s."


    Henry nodded and walked to the window. ncing around from the watchtower windows, he finally


    got an overview of the underground space.


    This space was so huge that Henry couldn''t see the edge of it. The space had mountains and


    rivers. It seemed that the tower was located on one end of the area, and there weren''t too many


    creatures around the tower. But Henry could see a couple of extremely huge ones at the ce


    hundreds of meters away.


    Henry felt as if he was watching a scene from a fantasy film.


    "Henry, why do you have to hurry up here?" Flynn couldn''t help but ask.


    Henry stared at Flynn and said, "Let me ask you, during the time you are here, there was no


    monster that has attacked you?"


    "No," Flynn shook his head and said, "None of them woulde into theb. There are many at the


    level below the first floor, but they normally don''t move."


    "Something is not right," Henry shook his head, "The diary has mentioned that the creatures are


    hungry for human genes. I bet that some creatures that have better noses will be able to sniff you


    out. Theb isn''t located in the area upied by those extremely powerful monsters, but howe


    there haven''t been creatures that tried to break in?"


    Flynn had never thought of the question until Henry brought it up.


    "There''s only one possibility!" Henry pointed with his finger and continued, "This area also has an


    extremely powerful creature, and the creature may be very close to thisb."


    Flynn''s legs shivered unconsciously, "Henry, you are scaring me. There is a creature that all the


    other creatures are afraid of? How fearful the creature can be?"


    "Think about it. The tunnel was made by Ba-Serpent, but it doesn''t dare toe back in. All the


    other extremely powerful monsters all leave this ce alone. I suspect that there is definitely


    something here that can scare the most fearful monsters outside. It''s only that we haven''t found out


    yet!" Henry''s look became serious.


    Flynn''s eyes were filled with fear, "Henry, are you trying to scare me?"


    "No, I''m telling you my thoughts," Henry suddenly stepped forward and reached his hand to Flynn''s


    neck.


    Flynn was stunned and immediately stepped back. But Henry was faster. He mped on Flynn''s


    neck.


    "Tell me, who the hell are you?" Henry lifted Flynn off the ground.


    "Henry... What are you... Flynn... I am..." Flynn said with a choking voice.


    Henry snorted. He dragged Flynn to the staircase and jumped down to the third level.


    "Henry, I''m not... really..." Flynn''s face turned red. "I..."


    "Don''t talk!" Henry whispered to Flynn, "That thing is in theb. It is no less intelligent than a normal


    human being. I guess there''s something in theb that put it on guard. It might be that the thing


    sensed the power of your Qi-controlling Realm. Hold your Qi, and let''s put on a show to lure that


    thing out."


    Flynn finally calmed down after hearing Henry''s exnation. He winked at Henry and followed his


    lead, "Henry, it''s you who don''t believe me. Don''t me me for whatever is going to happen!"


    Flynn roared and broke free from Henry''s hand. At the same time, he pushed Henry forcefully.


    Henry blocked Flynn''s attack, and then the fight broke out. The fight looked intense with Qi violently


    filled in the air. But neither of them fought for real.


    After dozens of rounds of back and forth, they gave each other a serious hit at the same time, and


    they broke off.


    Flynn spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Qi was weakened. For a Qi master such as Flynn, it was


    not difficult to vomit some blood by circting Qi around the body.


    Henry and Flynn stood still and stared at each other, panting.


    Henry leaned against the wall.


    Flynn held his chest. Both of them looked like they were seriously injured.


    Henry gave Flynn a look, and Flynn nodded. The two then sat cross-legged on the ground and


    closed their eyes.


    They just sat still in silence as time passed by.


    A small shadow appeared in theb. It moved swiftly and sneaked to the third floor. By staying in


    the shadow without moving, it rendered itself undetectable.


    An hour had passed, and the shadow began to move at an unperceivable slow speed. It only


    moved eight centimeters in an hour.


    Both Henry and Flynn were still sitting on the floor. Flynn wound spit out blood from time to time.


    Just after Flynn spat out another mouthful of blood, the shadow suddenly had its hair all spiked up.


    It darted toward Flynn like a sh of lightning, and the sluggardness had disappeared totally.
