361: Bone Demons, natural enemies of the Void Abyss, and the terrifying Yellow Book and Heat Death Research Institute

With the help of their magnetic boots, the two ran swiftly across the warship's deck in Powered Armor.

They soon reached the hatch where Watermelon and Polar Bear were waiting.

After entering through the small hatch, Su Yi confirmed that it had once been an exhaust maintenance access.

Workers could enter the outer sections of the exhaust ducts through here to clear debris and make repairs.

Big Watermelon and Polar Bear were still in fairly good shape.

Although the plates of their Ash X-4000 mass-produced Powered Armor were covered in dents and scars, none of the important internal components had been damaged.

Big Watermelon said excitedly, "Godfather, you're finally here!"

Polar Bear's voice was also filled with relief. "We didn't dare move around before you arrived."

"We were afraid we'd trigger some deadly trap."

Su Yi smiled and nodded. "A very cautious decision. There really are traps here."

Both were startled. "Huh? There really are?"

Ilis stepped forward beside them, looked into the dark duct ahead, and explained.

"Every exhaust duct on a Second Empire ship ultimately connects to two deadly traps."

"Normally, these serve as exhaust ducts. But if an enemy tries to enter the ship through them, they become death traps."

"The reason they built a separate hatch here was to lure enemies into infiltrating through it."

Hearing this, Big Watermelon and Polar Bear exchanged a glance, filled with relief.

Polar Bear sucked in a breath. "Good thing we didn't wander off."

Big Watermelon asked, "God—uh, Miss Barrett, I heard this ship is already five thousand years old."

"With so many monsters inside, would those traps still work?"

Ilis said, "I don't know. Let me check first."

She raised her hand and closed her eyes. A few seconds later, she shook her head. "Bone Demons really are annoying."
