Chapter 521 Human Corpse
The strong light of the flashlight pierced the darkness ahead, and no one knew what was waiting for them at the end.
The traces of the excavation of the tunnel are relatively smooth. Fortunately, the downward slope is not so steep, and it will not slip down when walking. It is not like walking on flat ground, but at least it is easier to walk.
"come out."
Luo raised his right hand and called out the black cat.
The black cat appeared and landed on the ground in front of the group.
"Go ahead and find the way." Luo looked at the black cat and ordered.
Now, the trading relationship between Black Cat and Luo has deepened, so Black Cat is not as rebellious as it was at the beginning, and the cooperation is not so contradictory.
Hearing Luo's words, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and walked towards the front of the tunnel, disappearing from everyone's sight in a blink of an eye.
When the cockroaches drilled out of the ground, they came out through many tunnels, so the deeper tunnels may be intricate, and Dongba's detection ability will be weakened in this terrain.
At this time, it is the best choice to let the black cat, a psychic creature, explore the way.
It is impossible to predict what dangers are waiting for them ahead, even the choice between luminous algae and flashlights must be considered as thoroughly as possible.
Here... After all, it is the Dark Continent, and after several twists and turns after landing, they have already recognized the characteristics of the Dark Continent.
The team moved forward in silence, with different mentalities.
Dongba was afraid and wanted to go home, but he could only stick to Luo to protect himself.
Bi Siji was amazed by the specialness of the Dark Continent, but also by his sophisticated calmness.
On this underground trip, she hoped to encounter some rare rough stones. It would be best if she could find gems left by ancient humans, or gems carved by nature.
Bruna's knowledge was inherently limited to places like rock island crabs. After encountering several waves of terrifying creatures, she was really eye-opening despite her fear.
Luo may not have the calm and rock-like mentality like Bi Siji, but he has a little more yearning, and he stretches out his hand ready to move, wanting to lift the veils one after another, and see the face under the veils with his own eyes.
It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly.
Following the tunnel deep, there was no warning from the black cat, and the journey was uneventful.
The tunnel twists and turns, and the path also encounters many forks, and the slope becomes steeper, almost approaching a forty-five-degree angle. Even if you sit down and use a little force, you can slide a certain distance. supreme mind
I can clearly feel the change of the slope, and I don't know where the end is, and how many meters it will go straight into the ground.
Thirty minutes, sixty minutes, ninety minutes...
Down, keep down.
I walked in silence for 90 minutes, but never encountered any danger, let alone saw the cockroaches that were active before.
Where did the group of ferocious cockroaches come from? I thought I would encounter many on the way to the underground, but I didn't want to, but I was so quiet.
The speed of the journey is not slow. After walking for two hours, the length of the tunnel is almost 30 kilometers. Although it is not straight down, the depth should not be low.
Darkness, narrowness, and dead silence are all factors that will negatively affect human beings, but they will not affect Luo and Bisji,
Even Dongba, after several baptisms, has shown his improved ability to resist pressure.
Presumably, if Dongba could walk all the way safely, when he faced the Ant King, he might not be affected by the terrifying aura in the slightest.
At two hours and fifteen minutes, the black cat that was exploring the way ahead turned back.
"Five hundred meters further and it will end. It's an underground space that doesn't know how big it is." Black Cat said.
Underground space?
Luo asked, "Is there a fork in the road?"
"No." The black cat replied.
"understood."
Luo nodded, and the group continued to leave.
The road without a specific direction finally came to an end.
The length of 500 meters was quickly completed. Everyone came to the exit of the tunnel, about two meters above the ground. When they came to the exit, they could feel a weak wind blowing over.
Luo raised the flashlight and scanned the surrounding area. The light beam broke through the darkness, and it was vaguely visible as an empty underground space. When the flashlight was turned upward, the light did not reach the top.
However, when I looked up, there was a small silver light spot the size of a needle point, maybe it was the hole that fell into the underground abyss, and it was left on the ground.
Dongba's thoughts didn't warn him of any danger, everyone jumped to the ground, and each took a flashlight to scan around, and they could see all kinds of strange-shaped rocks.
There are sharp stone formations like needle forests, flat stone groups with several holes hollowed out, and stone forests that look like dead trees, except that no creatures and plants can be seen. After careful observation, some subtle traces of biological activities can be found . The Beloved Concubine of the Demon King
The team took a break temporarily to replenish their strength and water, and then chose a direction to move on.
Here, it seems to be a vast underground space comparable to the earth.
The team walked for another ten minutes, and Luo and Bi Siji stopped almost at the same time.
"It smells like blood."
A scent of blood was carried by the breeze from nowhere.
Luo and Bi Siji smelled it, but Nian, who was in charge of detection by Dongba, didn't know anything.
This shows that the smell of blood is coming from at least three kilometers away.
The smell of blood means fighting.
Due to the vast terrain, considering the potential threat of cockroach swarms, whether to go to the place where the smell of blood is coming has to be discussed carefully.
However, both Luo and Bi Siji belonged to the daring type of high-tech people. They didn't think about it for too long before making the decision to go and find out.
Five minutes later, everyone came to the place closest to the smell of blood. There was no movement around, and Dongba did not detect any living creatures.
Under the light, it turned out to be a pile of corpses lying on the ground in a mess.
The first corpse I saw was a crocodile-like body, with a white skeleton covering its back and a lizard-like head. The eyes were blocked by a thick layer of skin, and the pupils seemed invisible.
The body of the bone lizard was basically intact, but there was a deep depression in the middle of the face, which seemed to be caused by a powerful blunt impact injury. What made Luo and Bi Siji more concerned was that there was a piece of Scorch marks.
It gives the impression that the bone lizard died after being hit with a red-hot hammer.
Walking around for a while, they were basically the corpses of white bone lizards, each of which died from heavy blows to the head or face.
Judging from the degree of degeneration of the eyes, the white bone lizard should be a pure underground creature.
Corpses died from blunt blows, and the smell of blood lay deeper.
Luo and his party didn't stay long, let Dongba maintain detection, and then continued to go deeper.
There are more and more corpses on the ground, not only bone lizards, but also two other types of corpses.
One is shaped like a silkworm, and the other is in the shape of a human with its back up.
With a hasty glance, the humanoid corpse is less than 1.5 meters tall, with a pair of legs that do not match its size, which is extremely conspicuous.
