BXBX NOVEL Chapter 625 - Underworld Hound (2)
"!?" The shadow-like monster was utterly confused. This little fluffy white creature could exert such an unbelievable power regardless of their size difference?
Yet, a hand suddenly grabbed its head from behind.
"Hm, I caught you. How dare a lowly being like you to run away from me and aim for Ely. Your opponent is me, but this is the end for you. Show your true form." Sylvia narrowed her eyes with a sinister aura escaping her unconsciously.
The shadow-like monster had no idea what the white-haired girl was saying, but it seemed familiar with the aura this girl gave off. Despite all that, it was still in a predicament.
Because of that, the shadow-like monster immediately saved itself by transforming into a shadow-like mist again. Surprisingly, it couldn\'t escape this girl\'s painful grip at all.
"Hau, hau..." The shadow-like monster thrashed around.
Unfortunately, it\'s useless. Sylvia stabbed her five fingers into the underworld hound and tore the shadow\'s layers apart.
*Swoosh* *Splat*
The shadow disintegrated, and liquid-like black snot was scattered everywhere.
"Eww..." Sylvia felt disgusted. She felt a little slippery and a little sticky.
"Sylvi..." Elysia also had the same fate, just like Kenji and other elites.
They were all splashed by the strange black liquid without being able to dodge. So did the entire command room.
"Meow." Vanessa also voiced her protest. She was a white cat, but she was like strange black mud.
\'Hehe, are you okay, Ely? That ink-black liquid is harmless, but, hehe...\' Elena couldn\'t help but laugh.
\'Uuh...\' Elysia examined the liquid with her sacred vision and sighed.
"Pfft, haha, hehe... Sorry, sorry, I didn\'t know that this little hound had liquid armor as well. This liquid is just disgusting, no longer dangerous. Hey, look, this creature is actually this small. What we encountered just now was only its beast armor of elemental energy. The real one is just like this." Sylvia chuckled and picked up a black, hairless chubby dog the size of an adult\'s palm from the floor.
It still looked terrible with its big jaw and fangs. However, its bloodshot eyes no longer radiated ferocity, only fear, and pleas for mercy.
"That\'s an underworld hound?" Elysia rubbed her face and stood up. She tried to get rid of the black slime from her body, but she still needed a shower for thorough hygiene.
"Yup, much uglier and weaker than in Vrelenia, but this little one is an underworld hound without its armors." Sylvia gave the underworld hound a head pat, but it was cowering in fear instead.
"Well, it\'s terrified of you now. So, what are we going to do with that creature? Interrogate it for information about that ancient gate?" Elysia then helped Vanessa get rid of the black liquid.
"Hmm, maybe Vann can interrogate this little hound. It speaks the beast language, too, it seems. Hey, this is a bit unfair. Why is the beast language in this world the same as in Vrelenia?" Sylvia just realized a rather strange fact.
"Maybe it\'s because they both use emotion and raw-like language to communicate. Hey, if we could exchange telepathy with other creatures, it wouldn\'t matter what language they use in their mouths. Unfortunately, not everyone can reply to us telepathically." Elysia picked up her cat and put her on her shoulder. Vanessa kept reminding that they needed a shower immediately.
"Excuse me, you two. What the hell is going on here? You guys made the command room a real mess. Some electronics shorted out here. Heck, the engine died too?" Kenji pursed his lips and tried to get the strange black sticky liquid off him. He frowned when he saw the condition report of his submarine.
"Hehe, we\'re sorry about what just happened, Commander Kenji. Can you see this little creature? It\'s the real creature behind that shadow-like monster. My friend just conquered it, and we\'ll try to interrogate it." Elysia smiled awkwardly and shared the information with the others.
"Hmm?" Kenji and the elites looked at the tiny strange black creature in the white-haired girl\'s hand. It was like an angler fish with four legs and no light stick on the head.
*Bzzt* *Bzzt*
"Hm, finally connected. Russia\'s headquarters here. submarine one of the Japanese Forces, please report your situation." The sound of the emergency channel suddenly came in.
"With Commander Kenji here. We just came face-to-face with the seabed monster. Our machine is damaged, and we will return to the surface. We ask all of the troops of this operation to return because we managed to capture the monster alive. Our experts will conduct an interrogation and further research." Kenji responded.
"Fwahaha, you want to interrogate a monster? Do you know how to talk to fish?" A hoarse laugh from nowhere sounded disdainful.
However, the Russian leader gave approval. "Report received, all troops, return to the surface!"
With that being said, all the troops returned to the surface, and Japan\'s submarine one had to be towed by the other two because the engines just wouldn\'t start.
After the submarines entered the mothership, Elysia and Sylvia excused themselves to return to Japan\'s headquarters.
Kenji allowed that, but he would only catch up later as he needed to deal with the other leaders.
"Haha, what\'s wrong with you, Commander Kenji. You look like you\'ve just been sprayed with black ink from a giant squid. Or, did you just bathe in soy sauce?" Tang Zhou was amused to see his rival in such a strange state.
"Haha, you\'re joking, Admiral Tang Zhou. That seabed monster messed up my submarine." Kenji smirked and moved his hand. Some black liquid was blown and splashed onto Tang Zhou\'s face. "Oops, please don\'t get too close to us, or you\'ll get hit by this weird black liquid too."
"Huh?" Tang Zhou examined the black liquid with disgust on his face. "Aah! What the hell!? Did you do it on purpose, Kenji!? Disgusting, disgusting. I had to bathe in seven kinds of holy liquid to get rid of this disgusting thing from me! Damn, watch out for you!"
With that being said, Tang Zhou immediately rushed off in a hurry. His squads also followed.
"It\'s just a liquid-like ink, and he responds like it\'s a dangerous liquid. It\'s ridiculous." Kenji shook his head, then turned to the leader of another country. "My apologies, but we seem to need to clean up first. We will report every detail to the meeting an hour from now."
"Hehe, it can\'t be done like that. We also need to know about that seabed monster you caught. Where is it now?" The American leader looked right and left.
"It has been brought to Japan\'s research center for further investigation. If you want to know in real-time, please come over there." Kenji raised his hand and left from there.
The three leaders looked at each other.
"Hmm, I\'ll send my troops to inspect the gate. The monster is already secured, and it\'s left unprotected. A secret of the world that is about to be uncovered shouldn\'t be left alone." The American leader made a decision.
"Count me in then. While waiting for our forces to gather some data, let\'s see what the Japanese have to interrogate that seabed monster. It\'s a bit funny, but let\'s check it out." The Russian leader didn\'t mind.
"Hm, I\'ll only send my troops when something happens. Please research what\'s on the seabed." The British leader smiled wryly.
"Yeah, yeah, now do as you please. You\'d be surprised if we might open the door to another world. There might be some natural resources in abundance? Keke..." The American leader waved his hand.
He and the other two leaders then visited the Japanese research center.
Meanwhile, Elysia and Sylvia went to Japan\'s headquarters after confining the underworld hound to the research center area. Elysia erected a particular barrier so that no third party would interfere, then she went to clean herself.
"Wow, is this a public bath? Hey, will we take a shower side by side? What do you think, Ely?" Sylvia teased Elysia as they just entered the bathroom.
They just followed one of the female soldiers, who happened to be kind enough to show them the way to the female bathroom. Still, this one would definitely make Elysia feel embarrassed.
"Uhm..." Elysia checked one of the booths. It was like a public toilet in the west, but for a shower. Each cubicle only has walls like frosted glass, but not to the feet.
"This will be fast. I can use magic to make things easier." Elysia couldn\'t be picky and entered the booth. Vanessa just followed her inside.
Sylvia just shrugged her shoulders and entered the booth next to Elysia\'s.
After they cleaned up and came back fresh, they returned to the research center.
Surprisingly, people became quite crowded there out of curiosity about a strange little black creature in a tube.
"Excuse me, I\'m sorry to say this, but you are all going to stress the subject. Please understand and reduce the crowd." Elysia stood before the crowd and gave polite notice.
"Ha? Who are you to command us? Ooh, I almost forgot. You are Commander Kenji\'s secret mistress, yes?" An elite in black uniform frowned, but he smirked when he saw who it was.
"Please watch your words, or I will need to sew your mouth." Elysia did not budge in her stance at all. Sylvia came next to her and smiled in disdain at everyone.
The leaders gave a signal to their people to wait outside.. That way, only important people were in the lab.
