This pirate treasure chest doesn't seem to be of low status, after all, even the D-class Superman in his underwear couldn't resist its temptation, but its overall status should not be as high as the Miracle Wand.

It should be at the top of D grade or C grade.

Although we don't know what will happen after opening this treasure chest, judging from the inertia of such extraordinary items, it probably won't be anything good.

The layout of this floor gave He Ao the feeling of a trap that gradually increased in size.

Use sharks to eliminate explorers of rank E and below.

Use this treasure chest to eliminate D-rank enemies, or some D-rank enemies in your party.

So what traps await the remaining, stronger individuals?

"Mommy! Waaah! I'm scared! Daddy! Waaah..."

Just then, a little girl's cry reached the ears of the three of them.

The three of them looked ahead at the end of the corridor, where a beautiful door remained tightly closed.

A bright sign hung above it: Dance Hall.

Ye Feng and Underpants Superman both looked at He Ao.

He Ao nodded slightly, "Let's go take a look."

The three of them cautiously approached the entrance to the dance hall.

"Don't open it yet."

Just as Ye Feng was about to push open the dance hall door, He Ao called out to him.

Then, under Ye Feng's questioning gaze, He Ao looked up at the deck at the top of the corridor.

He poked the ceiling with his bone sword, then glanced back at the direction they had come from; they were now quite far from the stairs they had come down.

Even at a D-level speed, it would be impossible to reach the stairs and climb them in a very short time.

He Ao took two steps according to his memory, pierced the deck above his head with his bone sword, and drew a circle with a diameter of about one meter.

Then he used his sword to pry open the circle, and with a 'click', the sheet metal was pushed open, revealing an opening.

Through this opening, one can vaguely see an open door, beyond which lies a smooth deck.

He Ao wasn't mistaken; this position was at the top, near an open door.

He turned around and looked.

To the puzzled Ye Feng and Underpants Superman, "I'll open the door in a bit. Once I say 'run,' you two immediately rush out through this hole and jump into the sea. Be careful, there might be sharks attracted by the smell of blood."

At this point, He Ao looked at the two of them and repeated, "Don't hesitate at all, do you understand?"

"understood."

Ye Feng nodded.

He Ao looked at the Underpants Superman.

"understood."

Underpants Superman nodded.

Seeing that both of them nodded, He Ao returned to the entrance of the ballroom.

He knocked on the door, but didn't push it open directly.

Instead, he used his bone sword to cut a rectangular opening in the door. With a gentle push, the severed iron piece of the door fell to the ground with a booming sound.

There were no gunshots, and no one was lying in ambush.

What came into He Ao's view was a pitch-black room, and in the deepest part of the room, a little girl who looked only five or six years old was tied to a chair.

A small flashlight shone, casting a faint light on the girl, revealing her tear-streaked, pitiful face.

She stared blankly at He Ao, momentarily forgetting to cry.

He Ao activated his hyper-memory.

"These bastards!"

The Underpants Superman behind him was furious when he saw this and was about to rush in to rescue the little girl.

However, He Ao's icy voice rang in his ears, "Run!"

Underpants Superman was momentarily stunned, then Ye Feng pulled him along and they rushed towards the opening He Ao had made.

The little girl stared blankly at He Ao, then suddenly realized what was happening and cried out, "Big brothers, don't come any closer!"

However, at that moment, He Ao had already rushed into the house like a sharp sword.

The last scene that Underpants Superman saw was that He Ao knocked over the flashlight next to the little girl. The faint light shone around the dance hall and illuminated the side walls of the entire dance hall, revealing the mountain of explosives.

A small mechanical clock hung at the very top of the explosive, its stopwatch ticking rapidly.

7...6...5...

He Ao reached out and cut the ropes binding the little girl with his sword, then used the hand that was carrying the suitcase to pull the girl into his arms.

"Close your eyes, it will be over soon."

He looked up at the deck above him and pressed a button on his suitcase.

"Ah."

The little girl obediently closed her eyes.

The silver-gray mecha instantly unfolded, covering He Ao's body.

At the same time, he raised his sword with his other hand and slashed a crack in the deck.

Then he leaped.

At the same time, Ye Feng and Underpants Superman climbed onto the deck and jumped off.

Ye Feng turned around, trying to find He Ao's figure.

boom--

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, and surging flames engulfed everything.

The sturdy mech crashed through the crack, smashing open the fragile deck, its jet engines spewing out beautiful plumes of smoke.

The fireworks were obscured by the intense flames of the explosion.

The shockwave from the explosion struck Heo, knocking him a distance away, but the force of the impact was absorbed by the Adam 1's shock absorption system.

He folded the mecha, and layers of beautiful metal retreated, reforming into a silver-gray briefcase.

The little girl kept her eyes tightly shut, curled up in the heat of the flames.

The little girl grabbed He Ao's chest with her small hand. At that moment, the silver-gray metal just retreated from He Ao's chest, and the little girl grabbed He Ao's collar.

He adjusted his posture in mid-air, holding the little girl, and fell backwards into the sea.

Just then, Ye Feng and Underpants Superman fell into the water, and the Talk Master stopped the speedboat beside them.

Ye Feng clung to the speedboat with one hand and looked up at the sky. This time, he finally found He Ao in the air.

He waved to He Ao, "Captain, we're here!"

He heard the voice, turned around, and smiled at him.

A mutated shark leaped out of the sea and charged at He Ao, only to be cleaved in two by He Ao's backhand sword.

"How come this guy is so handsome?"

The commentator gripped the speedboat's rudder, smacked his lips, and looked at He Ao in the air.

Soaked to the bone, Ye Feng and Underpants Superman climbed onto the speedboat and looked up at He Ao.

Sharks surged out of the sea.

He turned over and adjusted his posture. He had already adjusted the landing direction when he retracted the mecha.

He finally landed steadily on a speedboat littered with pirate corpses, and then with a few leaps, jumped into the speedboat piloted by the Orator.

At this moment, he finally had time to look at the cruise ship they had just boarded.

The massive cruise ship was torn apart in the middle as if it were thin paper, and raging flames burned fiercely in the very center of the ship.

The commentator adjusted the speedboat and quickly left the cruise ship.

Dark fuel oil leaked from the crack in the cruise ship, slowly spreading outwards.

"What exactly do they want to do?"

Ye Feng stared at the cruise ship sinking in the flames, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"They want to kill us."

He Ao remained calm as he placed the little girl, who had already opened her eyes, in the middle of the speedboat. Then he grabbed a life jacket from the side and put it on her. The people on the boat were not afraid of falling into the water, but the little girl was.

The entire cruise ship was a trap, designed to deplete the research institute's elite forces.

After their initial probing attack in the morning, the other side quickly adjusted their strategy.

They first hijacked the cruise ship, then feigned a distress call to attract the research institute's rescue team.

Then they figured out that the research institute would inevitably become more cautious after being attacked.

The research institute feared this was a trap, so they first organized a reconnaissance team to investigate.

This reconnaissance team can't be too weak, otherwise they might run into traps and be unable to escape, so they would be infiltrated by the research institute's elite forces.

The pirates beneath the ship are the first test, weeding out ordinary reconnaissance teams.

The sharks below deck form the second layer, filtering out the initial superhumans.

The pirate treasure chest is the third layer, filtering out some of the stronger superhumans.

The explosives in the dance hall were of the fourth level, and their yield was not low. Judging from the explosive effect, they were not ordinary explosives. If they were hit directly by the blast, Ye Feng and Underpants Superman would probably die here.

Of course, this trap also has loopholes; no matter how well it is set up, there's nothing you can do if the other party doesn't fall into it.

So the other side placed a 'live bait'—an innocent little girl—at the very center of the explosives.

They even drilled some holes in the walls of the dance hall to make the little girl's cries travel further.

However, the other side was also greedy. To ensure the explosives had the best effect, they set a countdown timer, intending to use the little girl to...
