I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1239: The Egg in the Underground Passage

"Ao!"

A rather large monster suddenly let out an angry roar, and then all the monsters launched an attack on you at the same time, swooping in from all directions!

But in the blink of an eye, your body was completely overwhelmed by them!

"Master Li!"

Just as Chen Sheng cried out in alarm, your lazy-sounding voice came from within the pile of monsters: "Should this move be called Hedgehog, or should it be called Chestnut Shell? Ah, what a bother, let’s just pick one—Bayberry Thorn it is."

No sooner did your voice fade, illuminated by the Wolf’s eye flashlight, countless sharp spikes as thick as a little finger, but extremely pointed, burst out from around you, piercing through everything in all directions, even the nearby walls were riddled with numerous small holes!

"Hey, Captain Chen, snap out of it. Let’s get moving, it’s getting late. The sooner we deal with this, the sooner we can finish up."

By then, you had already cleared a path for Chen Sheng and the others, and continued to walk leisurely ahead with the Immovable Dragon Pole in your grasp.

Chen Sheng and his Special Combat Soldiers exchanged glances, swallowing hard, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Your group continued to advance, soon reaching the end of the corridor, where, just like before, a metal door appeared before you, but it was half-open this time.

Seeing that you were about to step forward, Chen Sheng suddenly said, "Wait."

"What’s the matter?"

You turned to look at Chen Sheng.

"There are land mine wires ahead!"

You paused for a moment, then glanced down at your feet, and indeed, there was a thin land mine wire just a few centimeters away from your foot. If Chen Sheng hadn’t seen it, stepping on it would have meant playing it cool only to be struck by lightning.

Soon after, a Special Combat Soldier walked out from beside Chen Sheng and defused the land mine skillfully. After finishing, he even added, "How boring, they’re still using the landmine-laying methods from the sixties. No wonder little devils have been cooped up these years, daring not to make a move. With their level, they’re fit only to go mess around in Africa."

You chuckled and said to Chen Sheng beside you: "Captain Chen, since we’ve discovered land mines here, the rest is up to you guys, as this is your area of expertise."

"Mm, okay."

Chen Sheng nodded his head, gesturing to the minesweeping Special Combat Soldier, who shrugged his shoulders and proceeded forward, shaking the Wolf’s eye flashlight in his hand.

Before entering the gate, in a distance less than twenty meters, there were at least forty land mines laid out, some even hanging right above your heads.

However, to the Special Forces, these seemingly dense and terrifying land mines looked nothing more than toys.

Soon, you all made your way through the metal door.

Behind the metal door was an iron staircase leading straight down.

After climbing down the staircase for at least five minutes, you finally set foot on solid ground.

Turning to scan your surroundings, you discovered that there were three passages ahead.

"Tsk, now this is troubling," Chen Sheng said, frowning.

"It’s okay, I’ll take a look first."

As you speak, you stand at the entrance of a passageway on the left, with the Sen Luo Curse Mark slowly emerging in your eyes: "All Forms of Sen Luo, Flew."

Your vision swiftly sweeps through as if you were racing at full speed on a motorcycle through the corridor.

The passageway also contains the humanoid monsters you saw before, but at the end of the passageway is just an ordinary empty room. Moreover, many interconnected cross passages appeared along the way, making it quite complicated.

You then looked at the other two passageways, same as before.

"Tch, troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but ask, "Master Li, which way should we go next?"

You don’t speak but instead, the Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes begins to slowly spin: "All Forms of Sen Luo, Heaven’s Eye."

Because you’re in the city, you don’t want to use this move as the city is a place crowded with people. Within the range of Heaven’s Eye, everything happening will be captured by your sight, including some negative, disgusting, and ugly scenes.

But obviously, you don’t want to waste too much time here either. After all, this matter should be finished sooner rather than later. Besides, as the Master of Chu Sect, if the resolution is slow, those old geezers will gossip later.

Suddenly, within a spherical range of one thousand meters in diameter, everything is mapped into your mind. Due to the huge amount of information, these images even include two rats gnawing on an abandoned baby that had died days before in a corner of the sewer!

Enduring the discomfort in your heart, you quickly find the key to this energy magnetic field.

It’s a rather large room with six passageways leading to it. The closer to that room, the more monsters there are in the passageways. What surprises you is that within this vast area, there are various types of monsters everywhere. Initially, you thought this would be an underground secret military base of the People of Yamato, but it turns out to be a monster’s lair, with those so-called People of Yamato only standing six in the room. They formed a Formation and are controlling an egg the size of half a shipping container!

Yes, an egg, an egg that looks just like a walnut in shape!

And at this moment, the egg shows signs of being on the verge of hatching.

"Damn, these bastards are really courting death!"

Withdrawing your gaze, you curse angrily, and then the Sen Luo Curse Mark in your eyes spins rapidly!

Although Chen Sheng does not know what you saw, judging by your reaction, he knows that the situation ahead seems very grim and urgently asks, "Master Li, are there more monsters ahead?"

"Hmm, all monsters." You turn to look at Chen Sheng, "Captain Chen, take your men and fall back immediately, leave this to me!"

Chen Sheng frowns: "No, our mission is to protect you!"

You pat Chen Sheng on the shoulder and say with a smile, "Captain Chen, I know that’s your duty, but as I’ve said before, you handle humans and leave the non-humans to me. Actually, after clearing the landmines, your mission was already over. I indeed am not as skilled as you in military affairs. Faced with landmines, my method might be to set them off directly, which would be very troublesome, but you’ve already resolved that trouble for me."

Seeing Chen Sheng about to speak, you continue, "Ahead of us is a very complex Air Defence Cave network, which hides countless monsters as numerous as ants. Of course, if it were just the monsters, that’d be one thing, but at the central position of this Air Defence Cave network, there’s a very large egg."

"An egg?"

"Yes, an egg!" you say coldly, "Although I don’t know what it conceals, this thing must be dealt with as soon as possible, and I might use some extreme methods!"
