Looking into the distance, Andrew said, "This space is about nine thousand square kilometers, which is much smaller than the space we are occupying. But it has richer resources. The shame is that so many monsters living in this place. Five months ago, we organized an attack. There were ten Qi- concentrating Realm masters and countless masters of Transformation Realm and Qi-controlling Realm in the troops. But most of them didn't make it out of here."
Andrew's face turned dismal. Henry could tell he was telling the truth.
This place was the size of Yinzhou City.
Andrew continued, "The creatures here are way too monstrous. For one thing, bioengineering genes from different species is a despicable act that should be shunned by the whole world. For the other thing, by conducting this kind of experiment, Alvin League imposes itself as GOD. Their ambition and hubris will lead them into doing more detrimental things."
A trace of horror showed on Andrew's face. "After years of slaughter, cannibalism, and evolution, what remains are a bunch of
extremely fearful monsters. I have come across one of them. It had human limbs and a huge body like which of an elephant's. It had the speed of cheetahs and the strength of ants. The creature also had gills, which allowed it to breathe underwater. What most horrifying was that the creature could think like a human and it mastered Qi. It looks like a demigod from the ancient tales."
Henry asked, "Did you kill it in the end?"
"Yes."
With a nod, Andrew continued, "For that battle, we dispatched thirty- seven Qi-concentrating Realm masters and only them. Everyone knew that it was a trip of no return. I was one of them and just reached Qi-concentrating Realm at that time. I was sure I would die there when I saw the monster. After twelve of us had died and the rest were severely injured, we managed to lure it up on the surface of the earth and bombed it into pieces by rocket. The only reason that we could defeat it was that the creature had never lived in contemporary society and had no idea of the existence of rockets."
Henry's brows gradually furrowed. After so many Qi-concentrating Realm masters either died or were injured, the creature was only killed by a rocket.
He looked into the distance of the forest. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, what's going on in your mind?"
Sackcloth Visitor walked to Henry and whispered, "Don't tell me you want to go in and have a look?"
"Or else?"
Henry asked in rhetorically.
Sackcloth Visitor put his hand on Henry's shoulder and said, "Curiosity kills the cat. Cats have nine lives, but you only have one."
Henry smiled and said, "My life is much harder to end than a cat's."
Henry walked toward the forest.
"You can't go in there."
Andrew stopped Henry, "You've seen the situation here. This space is merely a couple of hundreds of meters below the surface. Any massive event can affect the real world up there directly. You don't know how many monsters are down there. If things go wrong, the disaster would be much bigger than what you can be responsible for."
"So?"
Henry shrugged, "So you just want me to tell you the secret of the eighteenth level of the City of Hell?"
"That's right."
