Chapter 587: Chasing in the Ventilation Duct
At this time, the monster's head slowly poked out.
It was an extremely terrifying head, like some kind of mutated wolf head, but its size was several times larger than that of an ordinary wolf.
Its eyes flashed with blood-red light, like two burning flames, which were particularly eye-catching in the darkness.
Its mouth was wide open, revealing a row of sharp fangs, with strands of mucus hanging on them, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Chen Yile gritted his teeth, knowing that he would surely die if he continued like this. He immediately drew out the Qingfu Sword, aimed at a spot on the pipe, and stabbed it with all his strength.
The Qingfu Sword pierced into the pipe wall, making a harsh metallic friction sound.
Chen Yile scratched the pipe wall with all his strength, and a hole was cut in it.
"Hold me tight!" Chen Yile shouted to the man behind him.
The man hugged Chen Yile's waist tightly. Chen Yile kicked hard and took the man down from the cut.
The monster also pounced down.
They fell into a space filled with various old machines and debris, with huge gears and chains scattered around, and some wires flashing with weak currents exposed.
The air was filled with a strange smell that was a mixture of the pungent smell of engine oil and the smell of decay.
Chen Yile stood up, protected the man behind him, and looked at the falling monster vigilantly.
After the monster landed, it shook its head and pounced towards them again.
Chen Yile rushed forward waving the Qingfu Sword. He stabbed the monster's head with the sword, but the monster dodged nimbly.
It waved its claws and grabbed Chen Yile's chest.
Chen Yile dodged to the side and slashed at the monster's claws with his sword.
The sword blade collided with the claw, making a sound like metal clashing, but the monster's claw did not seem to have suffered much damage.
During the battle, Chen Yile discovered that although his attacks could temporarily repel the monster, the wounds on the monster would heal quickly.
He was shocked. The monster's recovery ability was far beyond his imagination.
At this moment, the man suddenly shouted: "I have seen this monster, it is afraid of thunder and lightning!"
Chen Yile quickly calmed down, forming seals with his hands, and muttered to himself, "The sudden appearance of a landmine shakes the world!"
As he chanted the spell, the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather, and lines flashing with lightning appeared on the ground.
The monster seemed to sense the danger and wanted to retreat, but it was already enveloped by the power of thunder and lightning.
Bolts of lightning rose from the ground and struck the monster.
The monster was struck by lightning and let out a painful roar.
Its body trembled violently in the thunder and lightning, its hair was burnt, and it emitted a pungent smell.
But it was not completely defeated and still pounced towards Chen Yile tenaciously.
Chen Yile used the Land Mine Technique again to increase the power of thunder and lightning.
Thunder and lightning were like sharp blades, continuously striking the monster.
The monster's movements became slow, and wounds began to appear on its body, with black blood flowing out of the wounds.
Just when Chen Yile thought he was about to succeed, the monster suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar.
The roar seemed to have a special power. The surrounding machinery began to shake violently. Some gears fell off and flew everywhere with a sharp whistling sound. Some hit the ground, splashing dust and metal fragments. The exposed wires were also shaken to sparks, as if countless angry fire snakes were dancing.
Some black smoke poured out from the gaps between the fallen gears, and the smoke quickly spread, enveloping the monster.
Chen Yile's vision was obscured by the smoke, and he didn't know what the monster was doing in the smoke.
He approached the smoke cautiously, holding the Qingfu Sword tightly in his hand.
Suddenly, the monster rushed out from the smoke. Its body became even bigger and its strength seemed to have increased a lot.
It pounced towards Chen Yile again. Chen Yile was unable to dodge and was hit by the monster's claws.
There was a deep cut on his chest and blood was flowing out.
He fell to the ground, feeling a sharp pain.
Seeing this, the man hurried over and wanted to help Chen Yile up.
But the monster had no intention of letting them go, and it pounced on them again.
Chen Yile endured the pain and stood up.
He knew that he couldn't fall down like this.
He concentrated his spiritual power again, preparing to cast a stronger spell.
But he had just been injured, and it became very difficult to gather spiritual power.
Just as the monster was about to pounce on them, a pile of scrap machinery next to them suddenly emitted a strong light and roar, as if some mechanism had been triggered.
The monster seemed to be very afraid of the light and roar. It stopped attacking and turned to run towards the dark corner.
Chen Yile breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that the danger was not really over.
He looked at the pile of scrap machinery, wondering whether this sudden change was a blessing or a curse.
"What's going on?" the man asked in horror.
Chen Yile shook his head and looked around vigilantly. He found some strange symbols on the walls of this space that were flashing with light, as if hinting at some secret.
Not far away, there is a huge metal door covered with complex patterns.
Chen Yile looked at the huge metal door. The door lock was not locked, but seemed to be stuck.
He turned to look at the man beside him, and their eyes met, both seeing solemnity and determination in each other's eyes.
"Let's go and try to open this door." Chen Yile whispered and walked towards the metal door first.
The man followed closely behind, his steps slightly staggering, but he tried hard to keep up with the pace.
Chen Yile came to the door and pushed hard with both hands. His arm muscles were tense and veins bulged, but the door did not move at all.
Seeing this, the man also stepped forward to help. The two of them tried their best, but the door remained closed, as if it was guarding some unspeakable secret.
"This won't work. We have to see if there are any tools we can use to open the door." Chen Yile said breathlessly, his eyes searching around.
They rummaged through the space, which was filled with old machinery and debris.
Chen Yile's eyes were eager and focused, not missing any corner.
The man was helping out, and despite being weak, he was doing his part.
Suddenly, Chen Yile found a thick metal crowbar under a pile of scrap parts. The surface of the crowbar was covered with rust, but it still looked quite sturdy.
"Come, try this." Chen Yile picked up the crowbar and quickly returned to the metal door.
He inserted the end of the crowbar into the crack of the door and pressed down hard, trying to pry the door open.
His teeth were clenched, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and every time he exerted force, he let out a low growl.
The man watched nervously from the side, his hands clenched unconsciously.
As Chen Yile pried the door again and again, it finally loosened a little and made a dull creaking sound, as if it was the low groan of a long-sleeping beast being awakened.
Just as the door was about to be fully opened, a dangerous aura rushed towards him.
