Chapter 387

"where is this place?"

This is the Southern Continent, but this creature doesn't know exactly where it is, because it is now in a... very dark underground.

It's Montezuma, and in its latest successful operation, it rescues the target it's been trying to find, Maya.

But it found that success comes at a price.

Reinforcements of Atlan's troops arrived soon after, and they pursued Montezuma's forces, so Montezuma let a deep sand bus attract them, while he and the rest of the troops fled to another place.

The sandy bus seemed to have successfully lured Atlan's troops away, but Montezuma found that they were holding the passage it came from, so it couldn't go back the way it came, but went deeper underground.

Fortunately, Montezuma discovered that there are a large number of passages underground in this place. These passages do not seem to have been excavated by Atlan, but something that existed a long time ago.

It appears to be tunnels dug by some large worm-like creature, and these are complex tunnels where Montezuma can effectively evade Atlan's pursuit.

Atlan's pursuit force came here, so Montezuma let his troops quickly disperse, attracting these Atlan into the various passages.

Montezuma, on the other hand, took a safer-looking one, and with a small group of troops and Maya entered the depths of the passage.

However, the deeper into this tunnel, the more Montezuma found it was further and further from the ground... It seemed that it became more difficult to turn back.

And Montezuma was concerned about another thing... Maya.

Maya has been in a coma the whole time, I don't know what Atlan did to it, but Maya has been continuously releasing weak brain waves before. So Montezuma can find it.

but. This feature of it is now a hindrance. It seems that the Atlans are tracking Montezuma through this, so it must now keep running away.

'Tattoo...'

A voice came from behind Montezuma.

It was Atlan's footsteps, their voices echoing through the narrow passage, and Montezuma could hear them clearly even from a great distance.

Montezuma immediately ran forward,

Down the twisty passage, it was much faster than Atlan, behind Montezuma. Followed by a large swarm of small Aztecs, which can deal with the small number of Atlan.

However, Montezuma knew that if he kept running, he would reach the end sooner or later, so he had to interrupt Atlan's pursuit.

"Wake up!"

Maya was being carried by a swarm of small Aztec bugs, and Montezuma was so enraged when he saw it, he poked it with his forelimbs.

"Grumbling..." Maya made some noises, but she didn't wake up.

"This thing..." Montezuma could easily kill Maya now, but it didn't do that. It finds it boring to kill it so easily.

So, it wants it to wake up. Then fight it 'dignifiedly'.

So Montezuma decided to let Maya live here.

But why doesn't it just wake up?

Montezuma jabbed Maya a few more times in a row, and Maya reacted a bit, and it rolled around and fell to the ground.

Should wake up now.

Just when Montezuma thought so, Maya suddenly sent out a very strong brain wave!

This brain wave hit Montezuma like an ocean wave, and at the same time spread rapidly along the channel.

At the moment when the brain waves were transmitted, Montezuma also heard the sound from the distant channel.

It seems that Atlan, who was originally scattered in pursuit of Montezuma, has begun to gather here! And they seem to have some kind of 'transportation', and they are very fast.

Montezuma didn't have time to think, and immediately ran at full speed to the depths of the cave.

In fact, as long as it throws Maya, it can still escape, but it doesn't think so, but takes Maya... deeper and deeper.

Maya quickly stopped distributing information, but its location was confirmed by Atlan.

Apparently the weak information Atlan could not fully confirm before, that's why the speed was so slow, and they are now coming faster than Montezuma, and Montezuma can only hope that they will find one before they arrive. A place to hide.

Meanwhile, wake up Maya!

After a few turns, Montezuma found that the passage ahead had widened, and it was warmer, with a lot of water on the ground, making it look like an underground lake.

And in the water, Montezuma found some creatures.

These creatures are called 'hairy whales', which are said to be long-haired fish-shaped creatures evolved from Maoyu. They are small in size, only more than three meters long, but since they appear here, it means this underground lake to the outside.

Here, may be the key to escape.

Thinking, Montezuma picked up Maya, and then immediately dived into the water, it swung its body and dived to the bottom of the lake, its eyes kept searching for the passage under the lake.

Got it!

Montezuma saw the passage, next to a stone at the bottom of the lake, and immediately swam in the direction of the passage.

'Guru...'

Suddenly, Montezuma felt something unusual in the water, a lot of bubbles came out from the bottom of the lake, and at the same time it saw a strange thing floating up from the channel at the bottom of the lake.

"what is this?"

Montezuma looked at the square object with some doubts, and it also noticed that the water flow around the square object seemed to be getting faster and faster, and it was spinning...

Feeling that something was wrong, Montezuma immediately swam to the surface...

Suddenly, with the surging water flow, the water in the entire underground lake began to rotate, and a huge vortex also formed in the center of the lake.

'Gollum! ' Montezuma was also involved in this violent whirlpool. Its body was difficult to move in the water, only its head was slightly out of the water, and the speed of the water was getting faster and faster...

Suddenly, Montezuma found a hairy whale swimming quickly in front of it. This creature seemed to be unaffected by the whirlpool. Montezuma immediately grabbed the tail of the hairy whale.

‘Wow! 'The woolly whale suddenly struggled violently, but Montezuma found that grabbing it seemed to have become a lot more stable, but at this time... Montezuma also heard those Atlan's 'footsteps' approaching the underground lake . (To be continued..)
