Chapter 441 (2/2)

The Helcrown had now drifted towards the wreckage, and it was slowing down to find a place to dock. The city’s obsidian wall released a series of huge hooks, ready to be fastened to the wreckage. They could not wait for the city to stop in order for them to go and explore the giant ship. Y’lisabet saw it and insisted on following them. Hao Ren was surprised. He glanced at the young lady and said, “You want to come with us too? It’s a place full of radiation, not a place to play. Your little body probably can’t handle it.”

It was not a problem for higher-order demons like Y’zaks and Lanina to enter the space without bringing anything with them. After all, their physical condition had reached the peak of perfection. This short and skinny little demon on the other hand, made Hao Ren worried. With her physical condition, she was probably considered a handicapped child among the demons…

Y’lisabet snapped her fingers and covered herself with a layer of shimmering energy shield. “My body is a little weak but I’m not stupid. Can’t you use your brains?” Y’lisabet said

Y’zaks patted Hao Ren on the shoulder and said, “Knowledge is power.”

“…”

As the Helcrown docked near the wreckage of the ship, they left the tower to venture into the depths of the wreckage. Lily, Vivian, and Nangong Wuyue also put on the life-sustaining neckbands to join them. Soon, they came to the “great hole”, and they were startled by the scene before them.

The middle section of the gigantic wreckage was twisted and nearly broken off. A huge radial hole was present in front of them. The spacecraft itself reached a size of hundreds of kilometres, and the hole was like a large crater, which lay across the ship. Its width was almost one-third the size of the hull. The spaceship’s armour belt near the hole had obviously suffered a tremendous impact, leaving behind ripple-like folds akin to melted plastic. The thick and strong hull structure was torn and warped, pointing to the vast space, looking sad and dreary.

Hao Ren’s attention did not linger too long on the ship itself as he soon discovered that there were more things around the hole that they should be aware of: a large number of things that looked like plant roots or tentacles emerged from the hole and stretched out towards all directions in the ship’s hull. The ship was almost wrapped up by those tentacles, which looked strange and creepy.

Lily was agitated at the sight of the tentacles. She kept moving her hands in the air, jumping up and down. Hao Ren grabbed her tail and asked, “What’s wrong with you?!”

Lily just remembered that she could use the communicator, and immediately shouted, “Run!”

Vivian glared at Lily and said, “Can you please stop being so useless? Those tentacles are obviously dead, okay?”

While she spoke, she started the propeller to move closer to the huge hole, albeit not expertly. Hao Ren was worried about them and quickly moved to her side.

Indeed, as Vivian said, those tentacles were “dead”.

The tentacles on the hull of the ship’s wreckage had withered away. Although they still seemed frightening, there was no breath of life in them. Y’zaks then stepped on one of the tentacles lightly, and it quietly broke into pieces.

A lot of broken tentacles could be seen near the hole. These were traces that Y’lisabet had left behind when she led the men there to explore.

It was the carcass of a First Born.

It was already dead.
