Chapter 2352 The Deepest Dungeon

Li Jialing had an indescribably complicated expression on his face, and murmured: "It makes sense, but...why every time I listen to what Brother Yao says makes sense, but when I turn around, what Sister Long says makes sense It makes sense, even when I think about what Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi did occasionally, I think it makes sense? You are all right, I, I am completely confused!"

"So, you are still too young, you still need a lot of experience!"

Li Yao said, "What's more, most of the time it's just talk and rhetoric, and all kinds of strange truths can be packaged without flaws, but the key is how to do it and how to practice it.

"I admit that the current situation in the center of the Star Sea is chaotic, and the Dao of Cultivation seems to be in decline, but because of the chaotic situation, the Black Star Emperor, the four major electors, and the members of the Holy League all check and balance each other, so it is convenient for us to fish in troubled waters , Take advantage of the chaos to rise up!

"If we go back five hundred years and the true human empire is relatively stable and monolithic, that would be completely hopeless!

"So, give Brother Yao some confidence, give Cultivation Dao a little confidence, believe me, this kind of stealth and looting in troubled waters is my specialty!"

Li Jialing hesitated for a long time, but still nodded slightly, noncommittal and said: "I will keep Brother Yao's words firmly in my heart, no matter what, I am by no means a coward, and I will never be a coward!"

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard intermittent but very rhythmic tones coming from the depths of the town, as if someone was singing a strange song.

The two were slightly taken aback, looked at each other, and listened quietly, only to realize that the immature and lively voices were the children who had just seen and climbed onto the main control crystal brain to play.

The children have never breathed such fresh air, and the performance of "drunk oxygen" is more intense than that of adults. Children, the ancestors of all people now sang exactly the same nursery rhyme in a moment of joy, right?

Li Yao narrowed his eyes, listened for a while, and said, "It's really nice, isn't it?"

"yes."

Li Jialing was a little melancholy and dazed, and said softly, "When I was young, I spent every second practicing and fighting, and I never sang any nursery rhymes."

Li Yaodao: "One day, you will also have offspring, all of them are cute and chubby, do you hope they live in a world without light and without nursery rhymes?"

Li Jialing was silent for a long time, then gradually clenched his fists and said, "Brother Yao, let's go, let's go deeper underground and see what the savages living in the 'dark death area' look like."

After checking some supplies that were brought underground, and finally confirmed the intricate gap map, Li Yao and Li Jialing walked through a long corridor, and under the gaze of several heavily armed underground people, they opened the rust trail. Spotted shelter door, come out into the wild.

As soon as they left the ancient refuge, the temperature outside suddenly increased by tens of degrees, and the air became more stuffy and stagnant, making them feel like they were in invisible magma, which would be melted at any time and solidified into various forms, Part of colorful rock formations.

The outside of the refuge extends in all directions. There are countless tunnels leading up, down, left, right, east, west, north, south. Li Yao rubbed the rock walls of these tunnels with his hands, and found that the hands were smooth, with traces of artificial polishing. If you look at the texture, you will know that all the tunnels were created a long, long time ago, maybe 10,000 years ago, with large-scale ground drilling vehicles and boring machines.

Li Jialing told Li Yao that when the Monster Beast Dynasty and the Star Sea Empire collapsed, countless monster races and cultivators fled to the ground. At the beginning, they naturally carried countless large-scale magic weapons dedicated to the underground, and ground drilling vehicles and tunnel boring machines were the most important. Heavy.

At that time, no one wanted to be trapped to death alone in a shelter. The exiles all had ambitious plans, and wanted to use ground drilling vehicles and tunnel boring machines to open up countless tunnels extending in all directions, and connect all the shelters Connect them together, and even rebuild a large-scale "underground empire".

Perhaps at the beginning, they achieved partial success. Hundreds of shelters together form a huge force, which can exchange materials and information to the greatest extent, so that the civilization on the ground can continue.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon, the "underground empire" established by the demon clan and the "underground empire" established by the cultivators discovered each other, and immediately started a bloody, endless underground war. Not long after breaking free from the Great Dark Age of Ten Thousand Years, there is still an unforgettable hatred for the Yaozu, and the Yaozu is also addicted to the pain of subjugation and genocide, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise or reconciliation.

The tragic degree of that war must be a hundred times crueler than the strangulation battle of the "Starlight Organization" in the evil land of Wuyingjie. In the depths of the ground that lacks all resources such as sunlight and drinking water, this war is destined to have no victors.

The tunnels of the monster race and the human race entangled with each other and collapsed together; the ground drilling vehicles of both sides penetrated the enemy's head, and the crawlers crushed the enemy's bones; Create a bright future, only to shatter the enemy and shatter your own civilization.

Today, 10,000 years later, the civilization of the past is almost wiped out, leaving only these twisted tunnels and deserted shelters, as well as corpses decayed into ashes at the end of the tunnels and in the corners of the shelter, quietly telling the tragedy and hatred of war cruelty.

Li Jialing told Li Yao that with the 10,000 years of earthquakes and magma eruptions, most of the tunnels were fragmented and distorted, turning them into dead ends.

There are also abandoned shelters at the end of many tunnels. There is nothing in them except for corpses and ashes, and there is nothing of slight value in them, which have been picked up long ago.

Only a very few tunnels can lead to some caves deep underground that are barely suitable for living creatures. Most of these caves are super large bases dug by humans. The super towns that were originally used to accommodate exiled civilizations have now become savages and monsters. habitat.

Long Yangjun once stayed here for a long time, and explored the tunnels and natural cracks near the 10084 area clearly. He also carefully drew a three-dimensional map and imported it into Li Jialing's portable computer. The positioning chip that locked her coordinates is not afraid of going the wrong way.

These tunnels were originally "underground highways" that communicated between various refuges. Naturally, they were not too small, with a diameter of at least three to five meters, enough to accommodate a fully armed soldier wearing crystal armor. It's boring.

Both Li Yao and Li Jialing were people with supernatural powers, even though there was no light and the air was sweltering and hot, they still moved like flying.

Even if the tunnel is torn apart by the earthquake, leaving only narrow and winding gaps, they can barely change the structure of bones and muscles, and forcefully squeeze through. Since the savages can pass through these gaps, it is impossible to be too narrow and distortion.

After walking for a while, the lights in District 10084 had long since disappeared into the darkness. They seemed to have entered an abyss of rock formations that no one had ever set foot in since the beginning of time. The sound of rushing blood became exceptionally clear, and every breath became deafening.

This is the dark dead area where wildlings often live.

The two released their psychic energy and carefully sensed in every crevice of the rock formation, discovering many creatures that can only be found in the tens of thousands of meters deep underground.

There is a kind of creature that looks like creeper and moss, and even grows small mushrooms. It grows in the hottest places in the crevices of rocks. What is strange is that when they grow mushrooms and open slowly, The mushroom umbrellas actually emit orange light, like little lanterns.

Li Jialing told Li Yao that this kind of creature similar to creep and moss is called "flame flower" by the underground people. It can be traced back to the prehistoric era hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it is very likely that it was concocted by Pangu or Nuwa civilization. Because experimental life is a naturally formed life form, it seldom possesses such weird traits.

"Flame Flower" feeds on the heat energy of the ground, and even gathers together in large groups to form a creeping creeping blanket, chasing the footsteps of magma like grazing cattle and sheep.

Naturally, their body structure is not strong enough to be unscathed in the magma, but as long as the magma cools and solidifies, it will become their most fertile "grassland", and a large group of "flame flowers" will wrap the slightly cooled lava , sucking out the heat energy in it without leaving a drop.

"Flame Flower" itself is located at the bottom of the underground ecosystem, and it is the food of countless insects and reptiles, thus supporting the entire intricate food chain building; moreover, they can absorb a large amount of heat energy and greatly reduce the underground temperature. The savages can barely survive; more importantly, after absorbing enough heat energy, the "flame flower" can also release a large amount of visible light, which is necessary for countless underground plants to perform a wonderful reaction similar to "photosynthesis". There are few conditions, and only these wonderful reactions similar to "photosynthesis" can swallow carbon dioxide and convert it into essential oxygen.

No matter how much the savages evolve, they cannot evolve into anaerobic life that does not require oxygen at all. In other words, without the "flame flower", the entire underground ecosystem will collapse.

It is said that there are also many top scholars in the Real Human Empire who want to understand the mystery of the "flame flower". This primitive fungus with a simple structure and ancient form seems to be a transitional form between life and non-life. The myriad mysteries contained in the preparation of prehistoric civilizations like Pangu and Nuwa are really beyond the grasp of human beings at this moment.
