Chapter 46 The Strange Underground World
At this time, the sky had changed from dawn to early morning. The three people who broke the soldiers but took back their wives handed over a pile of animal corpses to the sunset tribe, and they received courtesy and hospitality.
The three people quarreled about the next stay.
Jang Ye told the two that he left a mark on the monster. He could use the mark to find the monster's nest and wanted to break through alone.
Sancai first disagreed this time: "We are a mercenary regiment, which should be a whole. You take risks alone, but leave us alone. I don't agree."
Xing Xie also shouted, "This time, do you want to eat alone? I was the first one to refuse.
Jiang Ye argued, "The monster's nest must be full of monsters. I am an assassin. I can protect myself well with the invisibility escape method, so it will be safer for me to go alone."
......
The three of them argued for a long time, and it was best to reach an agreement, that is, to stand in front of the night. If there is danger, they will escape immediately. If there is no danger, the three will deal with it together.
One day later.
"Haven't you stopped yet? The hometown of this monster is not the local demon realm on the other side of the desperate desert, is it? Xing Xie shouted impatiently.
The three of them drove the thunder chariot and chased in the desert for a day. The split of the will of fire at night still did not find any sign of the big man standing down.
And the local empire in the mouth of Xing Xie is another world across the desert from the Celestial Empire. There is very little communication with each other due to the desperate desert, the Tibetan plateau, the snowy mountains in the far north, and the three countries of Celestial Empire, Fengxiang and Thunder Hammer, so it gives people an extremely mysterious feeling.
Everyone only knows that the land is a country where evil spirits are rampant.
After soaking in the wind and sand for a day, fortunately, the three of them had enough food, water and crystal energy in their storage bags, otherwise they really didn't want to continue to go deep into the desert.
Finally, when night was about to fall, the big man sneaked into the sand to the edge of a huge rift valley before he stopped. He gracefully stretched out a pair of bone wings behind his back, jumped down, and entered the rift valley with a gliding posture.
It is hard to imagine that there will be such a rift valley in the boundless desert of despair. When the sand reaches the edge of the rift valley, it seems to be stained with magic, and there will be gray sand, full of the breath of destruction and death. The gray sand fell into the rock crevices of the rift valley, forming black soil. In these rock crevices, gray vines grew out. These seem to be dead, but still tough or vines extend from the desert to the bottom of the valley.
When the three people saw the huge rift valley and the vines in the cracks on the surface of the rift rock, their thinking was a little short-circuited.
The rift valley in the desert is already very magical, because the desert is a wind-made landform, and it is easy for the sand to float into the rift valley. Over time, the rift valley should have been filled.
Either the rift valley is bottomless, or the wind blows here and will be covered up and extinguished by magical power.
At the strong request of the night, Sancai and Xing Xie reluctantly agreed to let the general night explore the huge rift first.
Under the night, the light of the stars is mysterious and far away, and the shadow of the night under the stars is huge and long.
He showed the earth shadow escape of the five elements and sneaked down quickly. With the faint starlight, he had excellent eyesight and saw one huge black "flying snake" patrolling in the rift valley, which made him cautious. It was extremely likely to be a demon cave where monsters gathered.
The "flying snakes" seen at night are actually a kind of magical creature called giant mayfly. They are like centipede that can fly in the sky, huge and terrible.
There is a big man in front of him to guide the direction and the protection of the earth. The night is very safe in the process of diving. He even has a comfortable impulse to sleep in the earth.
However, the more he saw, the more frightened and curious he became about the underground world.
The whole big crack is from west to east, but a hundred miles. This is only the length of the surface. The more he goes down, he sees that the hole below is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't see the end at a glance.
Looking down, there are also hundreds of miles of depth. The light from the cracks is not enough to illuminate the whole underground world. Lighting the whole underground world is the huge stone stalactite erected on the ground. These stone stalactites are transparent, which can bring up the underground fire. Through their crystal glass-like materials, they can illuminate the whole underground world while isolating the heat under the ground.
It is not these stone stalactites that support the sky of the underground world, but the thick towering trees. The color of these trees is the same gray as what he saw on the surface of the rift valley. When he walked through it, he felt that the substance was actually between the earth and wood, which was a mixed element of earth and earth. Their gray leaves and branches are extremely thick, supporting the soil on the surface of the desert together. However, from time to time, there is sand falling from above. The sand is extremely small, and there is some fluorescence, which is obviously the light of the earth fire reflected by quartz.
He heard the huge sound of water in the distant air. He wondered in his heart: Is there still a dark river underground? So where does it start and where does it flow?
In order to explore this problem, he used shadow escape to descend from the branch of the towering tree to their roots, and it took two minutes to fall to the end. He looked up and saw a huge river running through the whole underground world, through these towering trees. She is like a giant dragon, stretching endlessly, and the dragon can't see the beginning and the end.
Now, he finally understands that the whole underground world is actually a river. Although he has not crossed the river with water escape, he has found the terrible and strangeness of the river.
First of all, the color of the river is wrong. Even if the general river is turbid, the color is only close to light yellow.
But in this river, the color of the water is dark yellow, yellow is close to brown, and in some places it is even purple.
And the smell of the water is even more disgusting, which is a thousand times or ten thousand times more smelly than the dirty water in the sewer.
At this time, the night did not dare to go into the water. He was afraid that he would be suffocated to death by the smell. He just tried to get as close as possible to the bottom of the tree and pinched his nose to observe the water closely.
I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. He couldn't help vomiting anymore.
Mom, what is this? The meat of all kinds of dead animals, the dead bodies of small insects, and the smelly blood, plus the dirty water left by various alchemists and the sewage after refining metals, are the water in this river.
Dropping what he vomited at night into the river, making a shallow sound. Suddenly, a few dark black fish jumped out of the water, as if competing for delicious food.
These dark black little fish exude the same magic spirit as that of a big man, but the magic gas is extremely rare.
I found that there were fish living in such dirty water. I wriggling violently in my stomach again at night, and this time I even spit out the food I ate yesterday.
He didn't want to stay where there was water anymore. He went to the river bank and took a long time to get to the river bank.
However, he just wanted to "land" and stopped again. He rubbed his eyes and found that he had not read it wrong.
Idi God, the rotten meat and bones of various animals, plus the white hairs after the decay of vegetation, are connected into one piece, in which you can see all kinds of metal, iron, and even magic props that have decayed in the water, showing colorful colors.
The night no longer wanted to go to the ground. Under the induction of divine consciousness, he found that the big man landed on the towering tree, and then swinging around with the lush vines between the towering trees and moving forward.
He will learn from the night, but his method is more advanced. His wooden escape technique is dedicated to passing through the vines between these connecting trees and trees, which is much faster than that of a big man.
It was also strange to say that along the night, he found that the color of the river flowing under him was slowly getting lighter. Although it was still a little turbid, there were very few pieces of meat and oil floating on the water. He looked at the shore specially, and the river bank gradually became cleaner, during which he occasionally saw a little yellow sand.
The underground forest is denser, and there are more animals in it, including insects and some small vertebrates.
No matter what kind of animal it is, they emit black magic gas. Occasionally, some of them have magic insects, and their magic gas is much stronger than that of ordinary animals.
Every time you go forward, you can clearly find that not only is the water quality getting better and better, but also the plants are getting more and more lush and more species. When you get to the back, you will simply use the method of water escape and walk through the water. The water has no more fishy smell, but like the water flowing out of the underground spring, cool and comfortable.
After walking for a while, the night found that there was human activity around them. They were harvesting a strange plant rhizomes, which were also gray branches, leaves and vines, which were neatly planted near the river.
The night is attracted by a huge stone bell milk fire pillar in front of him. The fire pillar is still a hundred miles away from the night, but the firelight from its tall body has clearly reflected the eyes of the night.
Any pillar of fire seen at night is not as good as this pillar of fire. Its majestic and magnificent body is like the sun in the underground world, shining on every corner of a hundred miles.
At the same time, he also saw a huge insect nest around the stalactite fire pillar. In fact, the temple-like building under the pillar of fire should not be described as a worm nest, but its shape is really like a worm nest, and holes emerge from the building, like a bee's honeycomb. The reason why this building looks like a temple rather than an insect nest is because there is a huge statue on the building.
