Walking aimlessly through the streets of Zu'an, Ye Feng drooped his head listlessly, not knowing how to find Dr. Hart.

The crow's chirping suddenly sounded, and Ye Feng fixed his eyes to see that a different crow was flying towards him happily.

"Pierce!" Letting the crow land on his shoulder, Ye Feng remembered that he had forgotten to take Pierce with Svein before leaving Zaun last time.

When he saw Pierce, he remembered the villa where he and the Sivirs had lived in Zuan. Since I don't know where to find Dr. Hart for the time being, it is better to go back to the villa and live, which is better than living on the streets.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng yawned lazily, and he decided to go back and get a good night's sleep first. On the way back to Zuan's villa, he teased Pierce a few times from time to time to pass the time of boredom on the road.

Due to the blood moon in the sky and the broken street lights on this road, Ye Feng, who was playing vigorously with Pierce, didn't notice that there was a hole in front of him without a manhole cover.

As expected, Ye Feng, who didn't pay attention, stepped on the air and fell directly into the sewer inside the hole.

"Hiss......"

Ye Feng, whose butt was hurting, hissed from his mouth, and listening to Pierce's nervous cry in his ear, he stretched out his hand to comfort Pierce.

Glancing at the hole above, he didn't rush out, but looked into the depths of the underground waterway.

Although he was a little uncomfortable with the smell when he first entered the Zuan underground waterway, he was curious about where the stinking water would eventually lead, so he planned to take a closer look. However, he sent Pierce back to the villa before heading deeper into the underground waters.

Walking alone in the underground waterways, Ye Feng found that as he went deeper and deeper, more and more other canals diverted deeper and merged, and eventually formed a canal.

But the smell and nausea here have also reached a certain level, and even produce a highly toxic atmosphere.

I don't know if it was because he inhaled the disgusting poisonous gas, or what, Ye Feng was shocked to find that the sword qi and magic power in his body had all disappeared.

After pondering for a moment, he quickly thought of Dr. Hart's experiments in the Forbidden Demon Realm.

"Could it be that Dr. Hart's experiment was launched?"

He wasn't sure what he was losing his strength for, but Ye Feng decided not to go any further, but was ready to leave the depths of the underground tunnel where the poisonous gas was formed by various mixtures.

Glancing with some regret at the open area that shimmered with a cloudy green light at the end of the nearby passage, Ye Feng turned around and wanted to leave.

Walking on the way back, Ye Feng didn't know if it was an illusion, he vaguely heard the sound of hurried high-heeled footsteps behind him.

Frowning and looking back, I saw a woman dressed in yellow suddenly burst out of the dark corner, and the woman fell to the ground and never got up again.

Due to the slight distance and the dim light of the underpass, the woman's appearance is not real.

After a little hesitation, Ye Feng still strode back, intending to save this strange woman.

……

The underground waterways are so dark that there is hardly a glimmer of light to be seen. Because there is no one to manage this place all year round, countless above-ground filth pours into the ground, causing the smell to become worse the deeper you go, and forming a poisonous gas that can kill you.

Over time, the underground waterways became abandoned and forgotten places for the people of Zuan.

The deepest part of the underground waterway is filled with filth from all parts of Zu'an, which indirectly causes the pond to turn into a muddy green pool.

Various compounds converge and dissolve in the pool, causing the pool to bubble with boiling green blisters all year round.

The sick green light reflected on the surrounding stone walls, turning it into a source of light for the underground waterways.

Click......

The sound of unhurried high-heeled shoes pacing came from the deep, narrow entrance, and in a few moments, Elise walked in in a beige dress and pleated dress.

Looking at the boiling puddle of disgusting water, Elise could clearly sense that a lifeform had brewed inside.

A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, if it weren't for Hammerstone's obsession with this creature, she wouldn't have bothered to run to such a disgusting place.

After a long time of not seeing the creatures in the pool pop up, Elise gradually lost her patience.

"Get out of here!"

The terrifying sound echoed through the area, and the creatures beneath the waterhole were frightened by Elise's voice and burst out of the water.

The body was full of disgusting dark green cloudy liquid, and the green and dark body was somewhat human-like, but the huge rat's head was really terrifying to look at.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely a disgusting monster, but in Elise's eyes, it is a disgusting waste.

Sensing the energy of this lifeform mixed with Zuan's filth, Elise raised her eyebrows: "Do you have a name?"

The rat-headed monster looked at Elise with some fear, and replied apprehensively, "Tucci."

Smelling Tucci's high-pitched, piercing voice, Elise felt the urge to kill him. Even though she could tell that he was afraid of her, his natural beating voice, combined with his disgusting appearance and the constant stench, really annoyed and disgusted her.

For the sake of Hammerstone's interest in this stinky thing, Elise still didn't plan to deliberately kill this Tucci, who was less than a demigod.

"Waste, if you want to live, follow me!"

Glaring coldly at Tucci, Elise took the lead in planning to leave.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, Elise's body trembled suddenly, and the magic in her body was flowing wildly without her control.

Moments later, Elise's magic was gone. And that wasn't all, her body shrank a lot under her horrified gaze. The demonic qualities on her body gradually disappeared from her body, and at this moment she only felt as if she had become an ordinary person.

Just as her brain went blank, Tucci, who had been afraid of her, let out a terrible sinister laugh behind her.

Hearing this, Elise also realized that she was now a lamb to the slaughter in front of Tucci without magical and demonic qualities.

Before she had time to ponder why her magic had suddenly vanished, Elise turned around with her composure, still trying to stabilize the fanged Tucci with her momentum.

"What are you trying to do?"

"What? Of course it ate you! As soon as Tucci finished speaking, he let out a wicked smile again, and the disgusting and sparse voice made Elise feel angry.

How could she, Elise, ever be eaten by such a waste? Suppressing her anger, Elise tried her best to calm down and said, "Come back to the Shadow Isle with me, I can make you ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Elise was kicked to the ground by Tucci's slender rat's feet covered in viscous liquid.

Looking at Tucci, who was gradually approaching her, Elise stared coldly, and kept holding her arms back.

Seeing Tucci's slow pace, Elise felt even more humiliated in her heart. One of the owners of Shadow Island, how could she have been looked down upon and toyed with like this?

She wanted to kill Tucci in front of her immediately, but Elise resisted her impulse, stood up and turned her head to run.

Tucci looked at Elise's fleeing panicked figure, and did not rush to chase it, but gradually melted into the shadows of the underground waterways.

From time to time, Tucci's sinister smile could be heard in her ears, but Elise could not see Tucci's figure, which frightened her when she lost her magic powers.

Her body was corroded and festered by the turbid liquid released by Tucci in many places, but the strong desire to survive and anger kept her running.

As time passed, her body was covered in a cloudy, corrosive liquid, and the pain of burning her skin in multiple places made her nearly faint after losing her magical powers.

Eventually, Elise twisted her ankle around a corner and fell to the ground weakly. Before she lost consciousness completely, she vaguely saw a figure running towards her.

Before she could open her mouth, her drowsy eyes closed completely.
