Lin Xian couldn’t help but let out a sigh upon hearing this. What KIKI mentioned was exactly what he feared the most. In such a short time, the scale and speed of the monsters’ attacks were lightning-fast, and that was even during the daytime. He could clearly sense that the combat power and life force of these monsters differed from those at night. Coupled with the unprecedented scale, he couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be if they encountered them at night.

He was initially planning how to use the Sky Dome Train to cross the sea, but now it seemed that even this idea held great danger.

Lin Xian initially believed that with the strength of the team and the mobility of the Sky Dome Train, they had the power to fight even if they encountered atmospheric creatures in the air. However, with the appearance of two Special Level Ghost Mantas, Lin Xian had to abandon this idea.

He glanced up at the storm clouds in the sky, thunder rolling, tidal waves surging. Until now, Special Level was almost akin to S-level, belonging to a type of colossal monster rarely encountered. But here, just looking up, they encountered two. Such monsters could easily be tagged as Level 4, making forced breakthroughs nearly impossible.

At this moment, Lin Xian looked down at Shi Zhi: "If we want to escape this island, which direction is the safest?"

Suddenly asked the question, Shi Zhi slightly retracted her neck, then shook her head and softly said, "I don’t know. Everywhere has those auras. I feel like we’re swallowed into the monster’s stomach. There’s no direction that’s safe."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the dozens of members on Ryan’s side changed slightly, as they all looked towards Ryan.

Ryan could only sigh in response at this moment.

"The situation is much worse than I thought. It seems that even if I repair the Neptune, I won’t be able to escape this sea area during the day."

The current situation made it seem that escaping was a dead end, and staying hidden within the submarine base on Sea Rock Island was a silent defense. But the boiling Galan Volcano was like a ticking time bomb ready to explode at any moment, truly despair-inducing.

"You should be grateful that your Neptune’s power plant was damaged," KIKI said leisurely at this moment.

Ryan smiled helplessly upon hearing that: "You’re right."

"Hiss..."

Iron Arm Azir took a deep breath in fear at KIKI’s words, then looked solemnly at Lin Xian: "Captain Lin, what should we do now?"

At this moment, everyone started paying attention to this Sword Holder from the Phoenix Society.

Seeing Lin Xian’s worried look, KIKI changed her tone and said: "Lin Xian, given the situation now, should we still explore the energy drain hole?"

"Yes," Lin Xian nodded: "There is no better way right now."

After saying this, Lin Xian glanced at Ryan.

Ryan used to be part of the Foundation and was a special security officer for the submarine base. Even if he hadn’t participated in the research on the Giant Ocean God, he undoubtedly understood this sea area better than anyone else, so Lin Xian wanted to hear Ryan’s advice.

"What do you think, Ryan?"

Ryan’s face turned incredibly serious, and he spoke in a deep voice: "I agree. We must stabilize that device; it’s both to stabilize the Giant Ocean God and to some extent the Galan Volcano."

After the previous encounters, not only was Lin Xian’s plan dismissed, but Ryan’s own considerations were also completely wiped out at this moment. Given the situation, he couldn’t let the Sea Group stay on the sea; they could only hide on the island. Meanwhile, Ryan also clearly understood that the geothermal device was their lifeline at that moment. Since the entire hunt was caused by large-scale activities manually influenced by the Foundation, once that device failed, they would be left to fate.

"Alright," Lin Xian nodded and continued: "Then let’s try to buy some time."

"Well..."

Just then, a voice came from the crowd.

Everyone turned to look, and the speaker was an ordinary member of the Hawk Sea Group. The moment Lin Xian’s gaze fell on him, the member shivered all over, looking very nervous.

"If you have a good idea, just say it. He’s not strange, nor does he eat people," KIKI said with a pout.

The person awkwardly smiled upon hearing this and then said, "Boss, Captain Lin, didn’t we say before that the monster mainly waits to hunt? I was thinking, couldn’t we do something to make the monster hunt and leave earlier? This way, couldn’t we sneak away before the Galan Volcano completely loses control?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but criticize.

"Da Liu, are you confused? Didn’t you see that monster the other day? The Pacific Ocean seabed is like a foot bath for it. Are we ordering this ancestor around, courting death?"

"Don’t even bring up the Giant Ocean God; even zombies are uncontrollable."

"Exactly, what could we use to attract it? Do we have any tricks or treasures that could even fill a monster’s tooth gap?"

Hearing everyone’s discussion, Ryan helplessly said: "If there were such a method, the Foundation wouldn’t have abandoned this heavily funded submarine base."

After saying this, he glanced at Lin Xian and explained: "Although I’m not sure what exactly they were researching, one thing I know is they failed, or perhaps their direction was wrong."

"Not necessarily. Actually, this idea isn’t wrong," Lin Xian remarked upon hearing this.

Ryan frowned: "Are you referring to the Foundation?"

Lin Xian shook his head, looked at the member who had just spoken: "I mean him, that is indeed a strategy, or it’s worth a try."

This surprised Ryan, while Vanessa’s eyes lit up: "Lin, are you trying to use the energy drain hole?"

Lin Xian looked at the young girl with interest. She seemed to have immediately guessed his idea.

"Oh~"

KIKI also caught on at this moment and said: "You’re not planning to release a large amount of geothermal core to throw a party, are you?"

Lin Xian nodded solemnly, "However..."

He wanted to say something but stopped, then turned to Ryan and others: "Let’s first stabilize the energy drain hole, and then we can discuss further. I need to integrate with that device first."

Ryan’s gaze stayed on Lin Xian’s face briefly, then he nodded thoughtfully. He turned around and saw Erica, who had already returned with her teammates, carrying a drone filled with over a hundred Blood Crystals of various sizes, shrouded in Black Gas. Ryan reached out, grabbed it, extracted the copper ball valve, and handed all the Blood Crystals to Lin Xian.

"Lin, you’re quite an interesting person. This was solved by you earlier; it should be your bounty for the Infinity."

The members of the Hawk Sea Group saw Ryan’s action but showed no response. It wasn’t surprising to anyone because everyone knew they were still alive on this Doomsday Sea Area because of Lin Xian’s intervention. Compared to profits, those who survived in the Doomsday Sea Area knew what was important.

"Wow, so many, this thing is really convenient," KIKI’s eyes lit up. With a small wave of her hand, she unceremoniously used telekinesis to gather all the Blood Crystals. A quick glance revealed several Level 3 Blood Crystals and even a Level 4 Blood Crystal among them, essential materials for Crystal Grid Evolution.

Lin Xian naturally saw Ryan’s gesture of goodwill, but he wasn’t too concerned about that at the moment. However, with Ryan being an Ice Element Superpower User and his past as a security chief for the Foundation, Lin Xian didn’t mind facing the crisis together with him.

"Let’s stabilize the energy drain hole first. Since it’s a backup, is it specially sealed, or are there other alternatives?" Lin Xian asked.

"I know. It’s part of a safety protocol, specifically..."

Ryan looked towards the sea and said.

"Captain Lin, the underwater environment is very complex, but I’m quite familiar with the sea conditions in this area. Let’s send a few Deep Diving Devices to explore first."

"Iron Arm," Ryan called Azir.

"Alright!"

Iron Arm immediately took action, having his team bring out the hidden transport aircraft on the island, which had two small single-person Deep Diving Devices attached

"Single-person Deep Diving Devices?" KIKI exclaimed: "Isn’t it too dangerous to go underwater?"

"What else can we do?" Azir replied: "This stuff is at the seabed seven to eight hundred meters deep. Regular submarines can’t reach this position, not to mention drones. Signals in the sea extend only two or three hundred meters at most; only Deep Diving Devices can manage it."

"Not necessarily."

This time, Lin Xian interrupted directly: "I know a bit about this kind of risky work; let’s use a different approach."

Azir frowned upon hearing this: "Captain Lin, do you know about deep-sea diving?"

Lin Xian shook his head, then immediately summoned Black Star Forge.

A black mechanical door appeared out of thin air in the void above, opening with a ’boom,’ unleashing over a hundred Iron Rain Drones. Simultaneously, ten brand new Deep Diving Devices were rapidly manufactured, with each cockpit temporarily replaced by the px-05 drone, directly substituting Azir and the others’ manned Deep Diving Devices. Those originally resolved to face death were left dumbfounded by the massive manufacturing display, watching the flashy mechanical assembly, everyone felt it was quite sci-fi!

"I know a bit about machinery," Lin Xian casually said to everyone.
