Chapter 846: Heart In The Ruined Building (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the two beasts entered the building, they realized that something was wrong.
It was very quiet inside, but there was a rather strange… heartbeat sound?
Normally, not to mention the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon, even the Werewolf Scout might not be able to hear this voice so clearly. However, in today’s extremely quiet environment, not only could this heartbeat be heard by them, it was even… even a little loud.
“Did you hear that?”
The Werewolf Scout, who could already speak, looked at the “big snake” at the side.
The Metal Devouring Flood Dragon looked around with its golden eyes in the dark and nodded slowly.
Then, it spat out the scarlet and slender tongue in its mouth.
Although the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon was no longer a snake, many of its characteristics had not faded.
For example, identifying the direction of the “prey” in a dark environment.
The Werewolf Scout lowered its body slightly and sniffed the ground.
Then, it smelled a faint smell of blood.
“This way.”
The Werewolf Scout pointed in the direction where the smell of blood was spreading and walked into the ruins.
The Metal Devouring Flood Dragon followed.
After walking for more than ten meters, the two beasts arrived at a place with a stronger smell of blood—the elevator shaft.
Standing at the completely destroyed elevator door, the Werewolf Scout walked in and looked up at the elevator shaft with two broken steel cables.
It was so dark that one couldn’t see it clearly.
However, the smell of blood reminded them that there was definitely something on it.
At the same time, Li Yao and Tang Tian, who were waiting at the entrance of this ruined building, received a notification from their beasts.
“What’s going on inside?!”
“Yes, it’s just… I don’t know what it is. The scout said that the smell of blood is very strong, and that thing seems to be above the higher levels.”
Hearing Li Yao’s words, Tang Tian looked up at the tall building that had been broken in half but had not completely collapsed.
“Shall we go in?”
“Go in! Prepare the energy shields and flares.”
“Sure.”
They came out with flares this time.
After all, although this territory had been taken down, there was no infrastructure built at all.
There was no need to think about signals.
They could only use flares to call for help.
The duo actually had a temporary signal transmitting device each, but the distance was limited, and they could not guarantee that the people in the range were people they could contact, so it was better to use a signal flare.
At the very least, anyone who saw such a signal in the wild would consider coming to their aid.
Of course, signal flares could also attract the help from academies and dojos.
Although there was actual combat this time, it was still a ranking test.
Therefore, the authorities had allocated resources to support.
Of course, after asking for help, it meant that they would lose the chance to continue fighting. At that time, the number of points would be the same. As for the rescue team…
They were some teachers of the academy and some powerful officers of the
army.
For example, the Hong brothers.
When he chose to enter this building, Tang Tian was already mentally prepared to ask for help.
He did not have to take the risk.
However, if the Metal Devouring Dragon died inside, the outcome would only be slightly better than him dying.
Therefore, after some thought, Tang Tian still chose to enter.
After all, he was confident in himself.
Well, at least he could survive.
After all, he was the son of the City Lord of the Holy City and the head of the Holy Dragon Flynn Family.
It was impossible not to have some life-saving means.
Unless he encountered beasts like the Green Dragon and the Fire Phoenix.
Otherwise, he could last for a period of time even against a Level 9 mutated beast.
After leaving the Storm Thunder Dragon outside alone, Li Yao and Tang Tian walked in.
The ground was covered in pieces of reinforced concrete and some scattered instruments or plastic folders.
It was obvious that this used to be an office building.
When the two of them arrived in front of the elevator shaft under the light of the flashlight, they also realized that something was wrong.
There was indeed a strong smell of blood.
As for the sound of the heartbeat, they barely heard it after they quietened down.
But that was enough!
These phenomena were enough to show that there was something strange about this place.
And it wasn’t just weird.
After hesitating in front of the elevator shaft, Li Yao turned to look at Tang Tian.
“Do you think… we should call for reinforcements now?”
Hearing Li Yao’s serious tone, Tang Tian knew that this guy was definitely not joking.
However, if they called for reinforcements now, and it was him, Tang Tian, even if there was a reason, wouldn’t it be a joke if word got out? Although he was quite mature, he was still a young man. And how could young people not be hot-blooded?
“Not for the time being.”
“I’ll go up from the elevator shaft with the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon taking the lead to confirm the situation above.”
“Alright..
Although the Metal Devouring Flood Dragon did not have the ability to fly now, it could use its claws and scales to climb the wall.
Li Yao and Tang Tian were a little nervous as they watched the golden figure gradually disappear into the darkness.
Rustling sounds sounded in the quiet elevator shaft. Their heartbeats rose and fell, and gradually, they realized that they seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
Why did they feel the rhythm and frequency of their heartbeats… overlapped with that faintly audible heartbeat?!
