As the aftermath of the Nuclear Blast explosion gradually subsided, the entire island fell into an eerie silence.
Needless to say, Airship, who was in the sky, was trying to restore communications and get in touch with the headquarters while nervously observing the movement below.
The mysterious creature that controls the entire island seems to have been seriously injured in Nuclear Blast. It is no longer able to control the tentacle-like black worms in the ocean, allowing it to follow its instincts and continuously devour everything on the seabed, whether it is fish, shells, sand, coral or anything else. From a distance, it looks like the most terrifying nightmare in a dream.
But no matter what, as long as it does not continue to move in the direction of the human world, it will be huge good news for V5.
This gives them more time to research and prepare.
And after learning that the landing team led by Allen was currently missing, Sreian located in the rear immediately organized a professional rescue team and rushed to the accident site on another Airship.
Just as everything was going on in full swing, in the ruins deepest underground, the round, fully enclosed bunker finally cracked open, and a dozen gray-faced people wearing protective clothing walked out of it.
One of them carefully walked around twice with an instrument specially used to detect radiation. He quickly took off his hood and said to the others behind him, "No radioactive material exceeding the standard has been detected! It's safe for now!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took off their stuffy and hot protective clothing.
One Marine Hunter even viciously kicked the red worm that was crushed to death by mud and rocks to vent the fear and anger accumulated in his heart.
For this group of people who have just experienced the aftermath of a catastrophe, there is nothing more fortunate than being able to breathe fresh air again and feel their hearts beating.
But Allen didn't give them much rest time. After confirming the position and direction, they immediately used the copied Elemental Earth, Core of Earth, and Essence of Earth to create two large earth element puppets to dig out the tunnels that were blocked and submerged by mud and gravel at extremely fast speeds.
Since using Nen abilities gives it the power to manipulate the earth, the excavation progress is even more efficient than those of large machinery.
After about ten hours, the team returned to the previous cave.
The only difference is that the intestine-like organ below has been torn to pieces by the violent explosion, leaving only an empty rock tunnel exuding a pungent smell.
"Are you sure you really want to go down?" the mercenary captain asked, staring at the bottomless passage.
"Otherwise?" Allen asked without raising his head.
"I think this is enough! Now the entire island has stopped moving. Maybe the unknown creature has been killed by a nuclear bomb."
Obviously, for the mercenaries, they have completed the contents of the contract and no longer want to risk their lives.
In fact, not only the mercenaries, but also the experts and professors had similar reactions.
Allen noticed this keenly and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Sorry, I never like to place my hopes on some kind of luck. So no matter what, I have to go down and figure this matter out. As for you, it's best to come with your original intention. If you don't want to come, I won't force you."
"I'm joining!"
Bodrō was the first to stand up and express his attitude clearly.
"Me too!" Fei Jie followed closely.
"Haha, how could such a fun and exciting thing be without me?" A smile of excitement and anticipation appeared on Hisoka's face.
As members of a small team, Bodrō and Fei Jie know how powerful Allen's Nen abilities is, and that at critical moments they can teleport themselves and the people around them into Dungeon in an instant, so they can escape unscathed no matter what kind of situation they encounter.
And this pervert Hisoka is just looking for excitement.
But everyone else was obviously frightened by the previous Nuclear Blast explosion and the worms that came like a tide, and finally chose to return to the surface to send a distress signal to Airship in the sky.
Allen did not embarrass the other party, and even asked the two elemental puppets to dig a tunnel to the surface.
After finishing all this, he came to Abyssal Maw, ready to go down and find out.
Because he didn't know where this bottomless tunnel led, Allen directly transformed into Half-Dragon Man, using the power of its wings to control the airflow, and led the three teammates to slowly fall in the darkness.
When the four of them arrived at the bottom, they discovered that their feet were not solid rock, but a large piece of muscle tissue that had been blasted into a charred state by Nuclear Blast.
Although the surface has been basically carbonized, there are still living parts underneath that continue to squirm.
"It's unbelievable! This place is just like a scene in a nightmare! Could it be that all the bottom of this island is made of such muscle tissue?" Fei Jie asked, resisting the urge to vomit.
"Definitely! Look at these parts that were evaporated, charred, and carbonized by the Nuclear Blast explosion. They are one or two hundred meters thick, but even so, they couldn't be completely destroyed. I can't believe that muscle tissue can have such amazing defense. If it weren't for nuclear bombs, we might never be able to enter this place. Those strong muscles alone can squeeze all intruders to death."
Allen squatted down and carefully inspected the debris left behind by the violent explosion around him.
Especially the umbrella-shaped Deep Pit, which is nearly 100 meters deep, is undoubtedly the center point of the explosion. Using instruments, even extremely high radiation content can be detected.
Without any hesitation, he quickly reminded Bodrō, Fei Jie and Hisoka to put their protective suits back on.
Although Nen user could resist this kind of damage to some extent, Allen still felt that his Class Panel's blood volume was slowly decreasing bit by bit.
This means that nuclear radiation can indeed cause adverse effects on the body.
After putting on protective clothing again, the group immediately continued to explore along the passage opened by the explosion.
There is no light at all here, so you can only rely on the lights on the helmet above your head to barely see the situation within ten or twenty meters ahead. You need to be extra careful every step forward.
As for the circle, it has been open since the moment it landed.
At this moment, Allen did not care about saving his own energy, and tried his best to expand the range to the limit of his ability.
After marching forward like this for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at the core of the entire island. At the same time, he also saw the semicircular sphere hanging above his head, surrounded by thousands of muscles and nerves, as well as the densely packed ravines on the surface of the sphere that looked like a brain.
There is no doubt that this is an organ, or a living body, composed of millions or trillions of neurons.
Whether it is the worms of different sizes or the large muscle tissue spread throughout the deepest part of the island's underground, they all operate under its control.
But now, this unknown creature or organ seems to have been affected by the violent shock caused by the Nuclear Blast explosion, and has temporarily lost some of its control capabilities, just like the human brain will lose its sense of coma and balance when it is suddenly hit.
But even so, it still sensed the intruder's arrival, and began to frantically mobilize the large red muscles around it, trying to squeeze the three people to death.
Allen, who noticed this, did not hesitate to take out another nuclear bomb with a greater yield from "Magical Wrapping Cloth", threw it at his feet with a bang, and threatened with a sneer, "I think you should be deeply impressed by the power of this thing, right? Be honest with me! Otherwise, I don't mind blowing you up into the sky!"
"Are you sure it understands what we're saying?"
Bodrō held the two shields tightly, staring nervously at the large muscle groups on both sides that were constantly squirming.
As a martial artist, he knew very well what it meant to be completely enveloped by such strong and powerful muscles.
"Of course! I'm sure this guy can not only understand what we are talking about, but he may also have a higher level of intelligence than humans..."
