Chapter 396: The Remains of the Ghostly Viper

boom!

The last gargoyle's head exploded, its body fell to the ground, and the noise in the cave fell silent.

The huge cave was filled with corpses, and the blood was pungent.

The eight Ji Xinghuo were scattered in different directions, walking over one by one, blending into Ji Xinghuo's body like a shadow, and disappeared. Shadow clones can be disbanded on their own initiative and can recover remaining star power.

Qinghong also jumped away from the corpse of the blind stone boulder, put away the claws of the sky, shrank her body, and returned to Ji Xinghuo's side.

Ji Xinghuo touched its head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

This fight happened unexpectedly.

It has been more than ten days since he came to the Black Ring Planet. Ji Xinghuo has been hunting monsters in the scorched abyss on the equator.

At first it was just on the outside, then gradually deeper, the number, density and danger of monsters increased. Although Ji Xinghuo became more and more familiar with monsters and the environment, he still slowed down his hunting speed for safety reasons.

This cave is located under a rift valley with a depth of more than 3,000 meters. Ji Xinghuo fumbled for a long time before finding it, and found a group of stone-blind giant monsters inside.

They look like giants and can grow up to four or five meters tall.

The stone blind giant's bloated body is as hard as rock and has no eyesight, but its hearing and smell are extremely sensitive, it has strong strength and resilience, its intelligence is not low, and it is accustomed to living in groups. It is the dominant force in the Scorch Abyss.

Before this, Ji Xinghuo also killed the stone blind giant monster.

But this is the first time I have seen such a large population, there are more than thirty stone blind giant monsters.

Two of them are flood-level monsters.

After Ji Xinghuo's investigation, he thought there was no danger, so he took action immediately. However, an accident happened as soon as he started. Various monsters near the cave seemed to have received some signal and swarmed in, catching him off guard.

He decisively released Qinghong and used his shadow clone to resolve the battle within a few minutes.

This is the biggest gain since entering the Scorch Abyss.

Open the Vientiane Star Pupil interface.

[Spiritual energy: 51498]

"I harvested almost 2,000 points of spiritual energy in one battle, so cool!" Ji Xinghuo was delighted. With less than 10,000 points of spiritual energy, he could raise both the rotating magnetic field and the electrostatic field to level five.

According to experience, these two abilities should be advanced when they reach level five.

The rotating magnetic field and the electrostatic field are highly related, and they are two sides of the same body. In the past, during cultivation or evolution, their progress was synchronized.

[Superpower: Rotating magnetic field (Level 4 20673/50069)]

[Superpower: Electrostatic Field (Level 4 20673/50069)]

The progress is accurate to single digits.

This was not controlled intentionally by Ji Xinghuo. There were differences initially, but they gradually became automatically synchronized.

There is obviously some kind of mystery involved.

Even if Ji Xinghuo didn't understand the reason for a while, he knew that the upgrades had to be synchronized, and there might be surprises.

"With the harvesting efficiency these days, another two to three days of hunting will be enough."

Ji Xinghuo turned off the interface and looked at the monster corpses everywhere.

Reach out and touch the largest stone blind giant monster.

[Monster: Stoneblind Giant Monster]

[Level: Natural Disaster-Flood]

[Alien species: blind vision, ultrasonic induction, advanced toughness, basalt body, rapid recovery, gravel fist, madness, power of giant beasts]

Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up after reading the information about the alien species.

This flood-level stone blind giant monster does not have many mutant species, but its quality is very high. It has three super-limit mutant species.

The basalt body has been obtained before, needless to say; ultrasonic induction is the superior ability of the "Shape of Sound", and it is stronger than the Shape of Sound in terms of hearing range, sensitivity, and frequency domain of sound waves.

Integrated with ultrasonic sensing, it can even completely replace vision.

"No wonder it hears so well."

Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt enlightened, and went to look at another flood-level stone blind giant monster, and found that it also had ultrasonic sensing.

Both stone blind giant monsters have the "behemoth power" variant.

"Strength power!"

Ji Xinghuo looked thoughtful. A few days ago, he was thinking that if there were power-type aliens, he could consider merging them and then upgrading them.

I didn't expect it to be available so soon.

The power of the beast, the power of the elephant, and the power of the giant are all super-limited alien species. There is no difference between the three, and the effects are similar.

Most powerful aliens will incorporate one of these abilities, such as "Giant General" and "Iron Guard". "Gravity Warrior" and "Martial Arts Master" are also good choices. After training and evolution, their strength will become stronger and stronger. , very cost-effective.

This kind of pure power-type alien species is not uncommon.

Many heavy-duty super weapons and equipment will incorporate power aliens when they are built, such as the electric potential war blade.

Therefore, Ji Xinghuo doesn't like it very much.

Even if the "Power of the Behemoth" is an ultra-limited alien species, he still feels that the potential is lacking.

"Let's look at the degree of integration first."

Ji Xinghuo wielded his Lei Chi to cut through the body of the Stoneblind Giant Monster, collected the alien species one by one, and soon obtained the "Power of the Giant Beast".

Its alien form is a tough tendon.

More than twenty centimeters long, pink.

Ji Xinghuo pulled it with a little force and found that the tendon was very resistant to tension, and a message about the alien species popped up in front of his eyes.

[Alien: Power of Behemoths]

[Grade: Overlimit]

[Fusion success rate: 81%]

[Can it be upgraded: Yes]

"Hmm..." Ji Xinghuo touched his chin and thought to himself: "The fusion success rate of 81% is not bad, but it's a little bit disappointing."

He currently only has one fusion opportunity left, leaving it to the titanium cobalt dragon body.

Even if the fusion degree of "giant beast power" is above 90%, it is impossible to fuse it now, and it must be postponed.

So there is no rush to make a decision.

Ji Xinghuo collected the alien species and continued to collect.

After working for nearly an hour, there were more than a dozen stone blind giants and more than 200 various monsters. Excluding some low-value ones, a total of nearly 300 alien species were collected.

There were already four or five thousand alien species accumulated in the dragon ring, most of which were high-quality and excellent, and it was almost full.

There were also more than a dozen super-limit alien species of the best quality.

All were placed in the dimensional stomach.

Ji Xinghuo flew out of the cave. The monsters had been killed at the bottom of the pitch-black rift outside. He rose quickly, and a narrow light appeared above his head, getting bigger and brighter, and finally rushed into the sky.

The branch-horned cloud deer ran over, and Ji Xinghuo landed steadily on its back, but did not rush forward.

He looked around.

This is the depths of the Scorch Abyss.

There were shocking craters everywhere on the charred land. Meteors dragged flames across the sky all the time. Explosions could be heard from afar from time to time, and the ground was shaking constantly.

Thick smoke billowed, but the temperature was hot and cold, like hell on earth.

But in such a complex and changeable environment, many monsters survived tenaciously, and they would die if they were not careful.

Electromagnetic induction scanned the surroundings.

Ji Xinghuo pointed to the east casually, clamped his legs lightly, and the branch-horned cloud deer jumped over the rift valley and ran on the air.

More than an hour later.

A huge rift valley stretched in front of him, with a width of three or four kilometers alone, and there was no end on both sides.

Black fog and cold forests emerged from the bottom of the bottomless rift valley.

Ji Xinghuo's face was solemn.

This was the largest rift valley he had ever seen. He opened his personal terminal to check the satellite map and realized that it was the center of the Scorch Abyss, and it was not an ordinary rift valley. It was once a city of the Youhu tribe.

More than a thousand years ago, this area was hit by a saturation nuclear strike.

There was also a huge satellite fragment falling down.

"Damn!"

Ji Xinghuo then noticed the strange mountain range on the opposite side of the rift, more than ten kilometers away, with a steep shape and bare surface. It turned out to be a meteorite. It was originally part of the satellite of the Black Ring Star, with a mass of hundreds of millions of tons.

It is hard to imagine how much damage such a huge meteorite would cause when it fell from outer space.

The city of the Youhu tribe had long been destroyed.

"Eternal Dark Rift."

Ji Xinghuo checked the information and found that the rift in front of him stretched for more than 800 kilometers, from south to north, almost running through the entire Scorch Abyss area.

Its average depth is more than 7,000 meters, but the deepest part is unknown. There are countless cracks and dark passages crisscrossing inside, forming huge cavities and caves. Most of the monsters on the Black Ring Star can be found here, forming an underground ecosystem.

Most of the fame of the Scorch Abyss comes from the Eternal Dark Rift.

I don't know how many hunting teams have failed in it. Even the king of heaven will capsize in the gutter if he is not careful.

Ji Xinghuo didn't rush in, but let the branch-horned cloud deer run along the top of the rift valley, and use electromagnetic induction to explore the bottom, but it can only explore a part of the area. Many cracks and dark passages are deeper and beyond the sensing range.

He found many monsters.

At the same time, he also found other aliens and hunting teams.

Although the Scorch Abyss is dangerous, it contains treasures and opportunities, attracting many elite hunting teams, and there are many sixth-level strongmen.

Ji Xinghuo has always avoided it.

He chose a place where no one hunted, let the branch-horned cloud deer hide by itself, and then jumped down.

The height dropped rapidly.

As the light above his head disappeared, Ji Xinghuo slowed down and flew into a naturally formed crack, and shuttled flexibly in it.

A cave appeared in front of him.

Glowing ferns grew on the walls of the rock formations, and the faint light dispelled the darkness. There were several cracks in the cave leading to other places.

"There are no monsters."

Ji Xinghuo turned his head, and this place gave him a strange feeling.

Obviously it was formed naturally and was very hidden. Logically, it should be occupied by monsters to build nests, but not only was there no such nest, but there were also many traces of monster activities.

Electromagnetic induction was always open and spreading.

There were no monsters or nests behind those cracks.

But unlike other cracks, it was not usually blocked, but extended to a farther underground, exceeding the radius of electromagnetic induction.

"Something is wrong..."

Ji Xinghuo muttered.

Just now during the descent, there were countless dark passages and cracks on the two walls of the rift, and there were more or less monsters. He came in because he found the weirdness of this place. Now he saw that it was true.

"Let's retreat first." Ji Xinghuo didn't want to take risks as soon as he came. Harvesting spiritual energy was the first goal.

He decisively returned from the original route and flew to another place.

After traveling more than ten kilometers under the Ever Dark Rift, Ji Xinghuo found a monster nest, went in stealthily, and began hunting.

[Spiritual Energy +9]

[Spiritual Energy +6]

...

After a while,

When Ji Xinghuo came out, his spiritual energy increased by hundreds of points, and there were more than a dozen alien species in the dragon ring.

After clearing out several cracks and caves, he flew up to rest.

His spiritual energy increased little by little.

Ji Xinghuo hunted tirelessly, and he killed almost all the shallow monsters in this more than ten-kilometer-long rift.

[Spiritual Energy +115]

A large-scale foram was cut off by Ji Xinghuo with a knife. He appeared in the electric light without a trace of blood on his body.

Collecting the alien species with ease, he was about to leave.

Ji Xinghuo looked back at the back of the foram's nest. There were holes drilled in the rock wall there for people to pass through. Electromagnetic induction mapped the terrain in his mind, forming a three-dimensional map.

Just like an ant nest, there are more forams inside, but they are very scattered.

"Just kill them all."

Ji Xinghuo simply flew into the hole, killed the forams along the way, and gradually reached the deepest part of the nest.

After killing the last foram, he looked at the passage in front of him.

"Is it artificially excavated?"

Ji Xinghuo carefully distinguished it and shook his head secretly, "No, it should be drilled by the foram."

However, this passage is very deep, and I don't know where it leads to?

But from the direction of the passage, it can be judged that it seems to be connected to the strange cave discovered before. If it is a naturally formed underground space, the probability of this happening is very low.

After considering it, Ji Xinghuo walked into the passage.

He activated invisibility.

The electromagnetic induction was also fully operational, detecting the surrounding terrain and movements, concentrating.

The passage went down all the way, and soon a cave appeared, where a group of vampire bats lived. Ji Xinghuo shot them casually, and then continued to go deeper. The monsters along the way were cleared, and he went deeper and deeper underground.

He encountered many forks along the way, some up, some down, like a huge maze.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have lost his way long ago.

However, Ji Xinghuo knew his position very clearly, and he did not encounter any danger, so he continued to go deeper.

Suddenly, he paused.

A blank appeared in the range of electromagnetic induction, where the magnetic field was extremely disordered, about two kilometers under his feet. This location is more than fifteen kilometers deep into the surface, and the range is also very large.

After carefully sensing, Ji Xinghuo felt out its general outline.

It was a huge cave.

The edge was far beyond his electromagnetic induction range, with a height of 400 to 700 meters. There were countless huge rock pillars like stalactites supporting the top. There were traces of artificial buildings in the cave, but it seemed to have collapsed.

In Ji Xinghuo's induction, the most intuitive feeling was a mass of chaos, and that space was filled with huge strange energy.

"What is it?"

Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but feel curious.

He found a passage closest to the underground cave, winding around, without disturbing the monster nests along the way, and went down.

A moment later.

The area with disordered magnetic field in electromagnetic induction was only a few hundred meters away from him.

Ji Xinghuo slowed down, flew invisibly in the dark, and after passing through a narrow crack, his eyes suddenly opened up. Under the weak illumination of the fern-like luminous plants, he saw it clearly and his eyes widened.

"It turned out to be a relic!"

Ji Xinghuo was shocked, and then realized that this should be the city ruins of the Youhu tribe!
