Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 88 Life Pod

"You bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Wearing a beret and standing at least 1.9 meters tall, John Bridge, panting heavily, cursed at his men.

As a member of the Bridge family, one of the top three families in the HR Alliance, he has been in charge of the family's intelligence capabilities for decades.

A few days ago, he received the task of monitoring Bai Yang, the leader of the ninth group of Huashan.

According to reliable intelligence, he is traveling to Africa to visit the Flame Legion.

At the time, he was full of confidence and felt that this task was a piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, according to information from the family's informants in Africa and the Jiangnan base city...

After leaving the African base city, Bai Yang disappeared!

Only Yang Wu, one of his subordinates, returned to the Extreme Headquarters residential area in a flying saucer!

It was as if he had vanished into thin air!

It's been three whole days! Nobody on Earth knows his exact location!

Because of this, the head of the family has issued an ultimatum: if he can't find the person, he'll be fired!

Although the Bridge family valued this matter, they didn't take it too seriously.

But Bai Yang's actions were a slap in the face to all the world's powers.

Tell their intelligence agencies, I'm not targeting anyone in particular, you're all trash!

Proving that I'm not just a useless spendthrift is far more important than finding Bai Yang!

John Bridge not only failed to obtain any information from his various "old friends," but was instead asked in return if he could provide any clues about Bai Yang.

I'll give you a circle and a cross!

John Bridge felt he was on the verge of a breakdown!

"Mobilize! Use all of the family's resources in Africa! Even if you have to scavenge every grain of sand in the Sahara, find him!"

This was his final order; he no longer cared about the consequences.

-

Bai Yang leisurely searched in the desert for two days and was in a good mood.

At night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, its white light scattering across the oasis lake in the desert, making it shimmer.

He had only ever seen such beautiful scenery in movies and TV shows before, but he actually saw it for himself.

In just two days, he used the segmentation positioning method to narrow down the area to just a few dozen square kilometers.

Judging from the Spirit Measure's reaction, the escape pod is most likely located here.

Now, having absorbed the genes of various desert monsters, he is extremely sensitive to the vibrations of the sand.

He even killed several earth dragons and absorbed their abilities.

If he weren't in the Trial Tower, he might have already been able to deal with those lesser Earth Dragon Kings.

This morning, Yang Wu also told him about the harassment that John Bridge had caused to the intelligence departments of major world powers.

"The Bridge family? Why did they start searching for me so early? And now the whole world knows about it?"

Bai Yang looked at the intelligence given to him by Huashan and was puzzled.

"I don't know why, but the current number one ranked player in the War God Camp, Renates Bridge, is from the Bridge family. Perhaps it's related to him."

Yang Wu concluded.

Bai Yang had a vague recollection of the name, but as for Renates himself, he knew nothing about him and was certain he had never met the man.

He is getting closer and closer to the possible location of the escape pod.

That person probably wasn't anyone important and wasn't worth paying attention to.

Starting a few minutes ago, the sand beneath his feet had become increasingly soft.

With his sense of touch, he could feel that there might be a huge pit beneath this layer of sand.

A life pod that fell tens of thousands of years ago is most likely somewhere underground, after the passage of time.

Another hour and a half passed, and the pointer of the spiritual energy meter in Bai Yang's hand suddenly pointed firmly to the diagonal downwards.

He immediately perked up!

Found it! And it's within one or two kilometers of the geological strata!

He immediately activated his telekinesis, pushing the surrounding sand downwards.

They dug down 600 meters in an instant, constantly using telekinesis to compact the surrounding sand and prevent it from flowing down and blocking the passage.

Just a few minutes later, he continued downwards and came into direct contact with the soil.

When we got to this spot, there was only a thin layer of soil between us and the pit.

He threw a punch with tremendous force, but the impact did not leak out at all.

Instead, it acted like a drill, instantly piercing through and lifting up the soil more than ten meters below, then using telekinesis to throw it far away.

After repeating this punch dozens of times, Bai Yang suddenly loosened his grip.

His fist suddenly missed its target, and the soil beneath his feet cracked, revealing a hole punched through it!

He used his telekinesis to create a defensive shield and rammed it into the soil below.

Crash! Crash!

He smashed a circular hole more than 3 meters wide into the soil, and he was instantly plunged into a dark underground cavern!

We've found the right place! There really is an underground cave here!

Bai Yang immediately activated his darkvision, floated in the air, and waited for the void to communicate with the ground.

We'll prepare to begin our operation once there's enough oxygen here.

He looked around and saw that it was a rather large cave.

Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end of the tunnel in the dark.

Following the direction the pointer had just indicated, Bai Yang slowly flew diagonally downwards.

Use all your senses to search the surroundings, leaving no suspicious object unchecked.

The cave was about 300 meters high, and he soon landed on the ground.

The cave seemed to contain nothing but rocks.

There is no trace of any living organisms, and for some reason, the temperature here is quite low.

It stands in stark contrast to the scorching desert above.

The further he walked, the lower the temperature felt.

This temperature quickly exceeded the normal low temperature range caused by the lack of light in caves.

Bai Yang was overjoyed; the more unusual this place was, the more it proved that he had found the right place.

Now he no longer needs to wait for the spiritual energy meter; he can simply use his senses to move in the direction of the lowest temperature.

Soon, a layer of white frost had formed on the ground beneath his feet.

The temperature here is already close to zero degrees Celsius!

His heart was burning with passion; this must be the result of some force beyond Earth.

After walking another seven or eight hundred meters, he stood at a point where the temperature was at its lowest.

The sensation under his feet told him that the hard rock layer below was the source of the low temperature.

Moreover, the temperature decreases as you go deeper, and the hardness of the soil layer also increases.

Bai Yang used his telekinetic power and fists simultaneously, immediately digging downwards with frantic speed.

Even real steel would be easily torn apart by his attack power!

He dug up an oval-shaped object that was more than five meters long in less than a hundred meters!

Judging from its appearance, this is clearly that life pod!

Its silver-white metal shell is clearly a technological product, while one side of the hatch is completely transparent.

Bai Yang could clearly see through this place and see what was inside.

A ring, a metal arm guard, two strange metal artifacts, and finally some dust.

He found it!
