Chapter 447 Chemical Liquids

Finally, Lin Xiyue seemed to snap out of her shock. She let out a sharp, explosive sound, her voice filled with disbelief and anger.

"What?! You! You actually—spanked me!!!!"

Her voice echoed in the air, carrying an uncontrollable rage that sent shivers down one's spine.

At this moment, Lin Xiyue was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, its fur standing on end in anger.

Her eyes were wide open, staring intently at Meros, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

"Uh...cough cough cough. I, I didn't."

Meros's voice sounded somewhat unnatural, as if he had choked on something. He coughed a few times quickly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

Then, as if he had remembered something, he quickly withdrew his hand from a certain spot on Lin Xiyue's body, as if that hand had not done anything wrong.

He held Lin Xiyue in one arm, while his other hand hung awkwardly at his side as he walked hurriedly toward the large pile of jars.

Lin Xiyue had no choice but to awkwardly brush the matter aside and look around uncomfortably.

Then, she keenly noticed Meros's unusual behavior, glanced at him suspiciously, and found that his ears were slightly red.

"Could I have misread it?"

Lin Xiyue muttered to herself.

However, she didn't voice her doubts, as the situation was already rather awkward, and she didn't want to make things any more strange.

"Ah, yes, yes, let's go."

Just then, Li Si's voice suddenly broke in.

His tone seemed somewhat meaningful, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Meros with a faint smile on his lips.

Moros felt a little uncomfortable under Li Si's gaze, so he quickly looked away and quickened his pace toward the pile of jars, as if the large pile of jars was very important.

Li Si followed behind as if nothing had happened, his smile never fading.

Lin Xiyue felt increasingly awkward watching the strange interaction between the two.

She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or simply bury herself in the trench she had mentally dug with her toes because of the embarrassment she had just experienced.

As for how she dug that ditch out without her feet even touching the ground, she didn't know how to explain it, since it was just in her imagination and she hadn't even touched the ground with her feet.

Molos held Lin Xiyue tightly, following about half a meter behind Li Si.

The three of them slowly walked together toward the large pile of barrels.

When they were still two or three meters away from the buckets, they all stopped in their tracks.

This was not only because of the heightened vigilance against potential dangers, but more importantly, because the pervasive stench was simply unbearable.

The stench wasn't just the smell of rotting food, but a pungent odor mixed with various volatile chemicals.

This large pile of barrels had clearly been there for quite some time; the paint on the barrels had almost completely peeled off, revealing the rusty iron underneath.

The red rust on the iron barrels contrasted sharply with their sharp edges, inspiring fear at a single glance. These barrels posed a constant threat of tetanus, and no one could help but feel apprehensive.

The nauseating stench came from the greenish liquid flowing out of the bucket.

These liquids looked eerily strange; they not only had an unsettling green hue, but also shimmered with an eerie, iridescent metallic sheen under the sunlight, as if concealing some unknown secret.

"Boss, I have a feeling something's not right here. Is it really okay for us to just walk straight through?"

Li Si turned to look at Meros with a suspicious expression, seemingly filled with worry about the road ahead.

"Okay, be careful and keep your guard up. You can go directly there. But first, hand over Fei Bo to me."

Meros nodded expressionlessly and answered firmly.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, gesturing for Li Si to hand over the thin coin he had been carrying.

Seeing this, Li Si hesitated for a moment, but ultimately obediently handed the thin sheet to Molos.

Because Philip was very noisy the whole way, which annoyed Li Si, he used a special kind of tape to seal Philip's mouth to keep him quiet.

The biggest problem for Fei Bo now is that the time he gained through sacrifice has passed. Since his true body arrived here, for some unknown reason, his true body has not been expelled in time, causing him to be increasingly suppressed by the planet's consciousness.

At this moment, even standing on his own has become extremely difficult for him.

After taking the Fibonacci, Meros only glanced at it casually.

Although Philip looked extremely disheveled at the moment, his eyes remained fixed on Meros, revealing a strange expression.

Melos felt a bit disgusted by the gaze. He shook the rope binding Philip without any politeness, and then threw the tie he had used earlier at Philip's face like trash, which blocked his view.

"Be careful, that thing hasn't been fully studied, and there's a lot of unknown information about it."

Then, Meros spoke to Li Si with a serious expression, his voice revealing a hint of worry.

Li Si looked at the large pile of buckets and felt a little curious, but she still listened to Mo Luo Si's words and carefully walked towards the pile of buckets.

Moros crouched down, gently placed Lin Xiyue on the ground, and then shielded her behind him.

Just as Li Si was about to reach the pile of jars, suddenly, the white insect seemed to sense something and darted out from the crack in the jar with lightning speed, catching everyone off guard.

Unsurprisingly, the insect's target was Lin Xiyue.

Melos reacted quickly, immediately shielding Lin Xiyue tightly behind him while reaching out to grab the insect.

However, the insect was exceptionally agile; it skillfully avoided Meros's hand and swiftly circled behind Li Si like an eel.

Seeing this, Li Si did not panic. He quickly turned around, trying to stop the cunning insect.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the insect suddenly sprayed out a stream of liquid, which shot straight towards Li Si.

Li Si dodged the liquid with a quick sidestep, but the liquid splashed onto the nearby jar.

With a hissing sound, the jar was instantly corroded, creating a large hole, and the green liquid inside flowed out like a burst dam.

The green liquid mixed with the original liquid on the ground, making a "sizzling" sound and emitting bursts of pungent smoke that made people feel dizzy.

Meros frowned deeply, realizing that this insect was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
