Chapter 145 The Cave World Under the Abyss
A sudden gravitational vortex.
Yu Ke, who had intended to escape with the help of the hook arrow, was forced to fall into the abyss.
Yu Ke was indeed curious about the abyss under the macrophagous vine forest, and wanted to find out what was hidden in it the first time he saw it.
The premise is that he has made all preparations.
Using drones to explore the way first, and the Forest Defense Bureau to provide logistical support is what Yu Ke wants to do, rather than falling alone like now, without any external assistance.
The gravitational vortex has not ended yet. Yu Ke tried to shoot the hook arrow several times, but he could not stabilize his falling body.
In desperation, he had to change his strategy to save himself.
Since he has come down, he might as well take a look at what is in the abyss.
Considering the existence of the thorn dragon, Yu Ke did not think that the abyss would be a desperate situation, and Sen Ling also confirmed this guess.
Although the force that disturbed it still existed, with such close contact, the forest spirit could still sense that there were quite a lot of life reactions in the abyss.
This was one of the main reasons why Yu Ke did not struggle too much.
As long as the abyss was not a desperate situation, it would be fine for him to go there with his strength.
As all the flesh and blood energy fell into darkness, the gravitational vortex began to disappear, and Yu Ke regained control of his body.
Using the ability to control the wind and snow to adjust his position in mid-air, he turned on the searchlights on both sides of his helmet. He soon noticed that although the area he was in was an empty hole, there were a lot of plant roots on the edges of the rock walls on both sides.
After all, this was deep in the Mirror Lake Forest. It was normal for giant trees hundreds of meters high to have their roots deep underground, and this discovery gave Yu Ke some peace of mind.
As long as there were these crisscrossing roots, he would have a way to return to the surface, but it would just be a little slower.
With the forest spirit's will by his side, there was no place in the Mirror Lake Forest that he could not go to.
The dim sky gradually faded away, darkness filled the vision, and Yu Ke, who was swallowed by the abyss, estimated the height of his fall in his mind.
Thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters.
The communication signal was cut off, and only harsh noises remained in the channel, but Yu Ke didn't care about it now.
The endless fall made his heart sink. It couldn't be a bottomless abyss, right?
The impact caused by falling from such a height was not small, and he had to find a way to slow down the momentum. Although Yu Ke's physical fitness had been greatly improved after the transformation, he didn't plan to do a ropeless bungee jumping without return.
"Sen Ling, use the roots of nearby plants to make a trampoline for me."
He had thought of entering the abyss like this, but now he still hadn't landed, so Yu Ke had to improvise.
The natural energy stored in the Forest Spirit Mark was mobilized under the will of the Forest Spirit, and dozens of vines immediately spread out around him, forming two layers of elastic net bags under Yu Ke's body, which absorbed the impact of Yu Ke's fall and stabilized him in mid-air.
Holding the vines with both hands to stand up, Yu Ke turned off the communication channel that was still emitting noise, and used the light of the helmet to observe the surroundings.
Frankly speaking, the current situation is a bit beyond expectations.
Yu Ke originally thought that the bottom of the abyss was nothing more than the lair of the thorn dragon, or some other ferocious beast. The gravitational vortex just now should be created by another ferocious beast to devour blood and flesh energy.
It's just that this free fall of nearly 100 meters, you can imagine how big this pit is.
The thorn dragon built its lair 100 meters underground, and stayed more than 20 meters underground to absorb blood and flesh energy, and dug such a wide passage. What's the purpose?
Is there another cave under this?
Thinking carefully, this seems to be the only explanation. Yu Ke, who realized the problem, became cautious and sweated a little on his forehead.
It was not because of the abnormality in the abyss, but because he was afraid of his recklessness.
The power came too easily, making him swell and forget himself. Fortunately, he had the help of Forest Spirit, otherwise he would suffer a great loss sooner or later.
Fortunately, Yu Ke has always been a person who can correct his mistakes.
He did not intend to withdraw, but from now on, blind free fall is obviously no longer appropriate.
After a brief thought, he simply used the vine net bag as a hanging point, separated a few vines and wrapped them around his waist, and used them as safety ropes, controlled by Forest Spirit.
In this way, even if he encountered danger, he could use the vines to withdraw immediately, so as not to be trapped in the same place.
After reinforcing the vine net bag again and again, Yu Ke tied the vines around his waist and continued to descend.
At this moment, he looked like a glowing fish bait thrown into the deep sea, surrounded by dark shadows. The searchlight could only illuminate part of the area in front of him. No one knew whether some terrifying existence would rush out of the darkness.
Yu Ke's psychological quality was strong enough, and the previous nearly 100-meter airdrop had actually allowed him to cross most of the distance of the passage. Then he descended about 15 meters, and thick gray fog began to appear in the area illuminated by the lights.
It was unknown where these fogs came from and what caused them to be generated. It looked like the boundary separating the abyss and the surface.
"Stop! Is this fog safe?"
Yu Ke did not rush down, but let the vines fix him in mid-air and asked Sen Ling instead.
Sen Ling chose to use the most intuitive method to test, summoning a beast resembling a mole from the rock wall, tied it with vines and lowered it into the fog. The latter screamed loudly on the way, probably "greeting" Yu Ke and Sen Ling cordially.
In return, Yu Ke grabbed the vine and swung it, letting the mole swing left and right in the fog for several circles before lifting it up.
"The life state is normal."
Sen Ling put it back in place and injected some natural energy into it as a reward.
After confirming that the fog was not dangerous to the creature, Yu Ke no longer hesitated, and the vine tied around his waist continued to grow, putting him into the fog.
Until his whole body was immersed in the fog, Yu Ke, who was highly concentrated, did not find any abnormality in his body, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After landing about five meters in the fog, Yu Ke's feet touched a hard object for the first time.
It felt good to be on the ground, even if this "ground" might not be the deep abyss he imagined. Yu Ke leaned down and took a look, confirming that he was standing on a thick root of a giant tree, which was quite unexpected.
You know, on the way from the surface to here, all the tree roots he saw were basically close to the rock wall, and none of them grew inward.
Is this good news?
Yu Ke was not sure, and after confirming with Sen Ling that the vines around his waist were still under control and could be detached at any time, he decided to walk along this downward root for a while.
If he still didn't find anything, Yu Ke would have to consider retreating.
He was now nearly 130 meters underground, and no matter how curious he was, there should be a limit.
It must be said that Yu Ke was lucky.
There is often a difference between nothing and great results.
As he walked forward, Yu Ke soon felt his lower body begin to escape from the fog, followed by his hands and chest. He was like a swimmer who had climbed out of a pool and successfully returned to the "shore".
Until Yu Ke was completely out of the fog, crossing the boundary to the space on the other side.
The scene in front of him made Yu Ke's eyes widen involuntarily, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The reason was that what appeared in front of Yu Ke was a cave world that was completely beyond his imagination!
Standing still and looking around, the environment of the cave world was in full view.
The first thing Yu Ke saw was the crisscrossing plant roots and vines. They should have been buried in the soil that never saw the sun all year round, providing energy for the jungle on the surface, but in this underground world, they became the protagonists, forming a new ecology!
The mutated tree roots reached an extremely exaggerated level in both volume and length, like a jungle hanging upside down underground.
Roots with a diameter of several meters can be seen everywhere, running through the vines and extending to the distance beyond the sight.
Not to mention for people to walk, even driving on them is no problem.
More importantly, these tree roots have become a carrier similar to soil in this underground world. All kinds of strange animals and plants parasitize on their surface and thrive on the nutrients they absorb.
Adjust the newly replaced camera to capture the magical and magnificent scene in front of you.
Whether the massive experience value gap of the [Teacher] profession can be filled depends on this video.
You must know that this is a world that has never been explored by anyone. In other words, as long as everything here is spread out, people who watch the video will subconsciously want to figure out everything here.
All Yu Ke has to do is to obtain information by checking for leaks and gaps, then add them to the video, and then stay at home and watch the experience bar soar.
The surface of the tree roots close to the width of the double lane in the left front is covered with fluorescent grass, and fist-sized luminous spheres generally grow on the top of them, releasing moon-white light all the time, illuminating the cave world.
Occasionally, a few light green flying insects were attracted by the light, and the sides of these spheres immediately spit out long tongues and rolled them into their mouths.
In the mushroom colony not far to the right, an ostrich-like beast ran out with long legs, holding a bunch of dark brown fruits in its mouth, and behind it, a monster that looked like a fruit tree but had a bloody mouth on the trunk roared and chased.
I don’t know whether the bunch of fruits is its children or seeds.
Before they broke out in a fight, the giant mantis disguised as a withered tree trunk suddenly stretched out its sickle blade and easily completed a double kill!
Yu Ke had various guesses about the world under the abyss, but the scene in front of him still made him feel that he should be in a dream.
It can only be said that the era of the Great Cataclysm has added too many variables to this world.
Yu Ke, who was in this cave world, was full of excitement and excitement. Exploration was something that every man had longed for when he was young, and he was no exception, especially in this area that no one else had ever set foot on.
As a time traveler, Yu Ke has little concern for this world, and one of the things that can arouse his interest is to see all kinds of rare things in the era of the Great Cataclysm, so as to take a big step to the extraordinary level.
Untie the vines around your waist so that you can move freely.
Forest Spirit's current capabilities are limited, and it is impossible to extend the safety rope as Yu Ke moves. If Yu Ke wants to further explore this cave world, he can only choose to temporarily abandon the safety rope.
This does not mean that Yu Ke has given up his retreat. It is not difficult to keep the vines.
Just like the "hole rope" commonly seen in many games, when Yu Ke wants to go out, he just needs to come back here, and Forest Spirit can get him out of the basement world at the fastest speed.
Yu Ke, who has regained his freedom, leaped forward. He was not running aimlessly, but had a clear goal.
The flesh and blood energy of the Thorn Dragon fell into the abyss after he killed it. It is certain that there was another beast in the abyss at that time, creating a gravitational vortex to devour this energy.
The beast that can do this across a distance of hundreds of meters and cross the boundary must be a special existence in the cave world, and it is Yu Ke's hunting target this time!
The difficulty of the [Forest Patrol Hunter] profession to be promoted to the next stage is undoubtedly higher than that of the [Teacher] profession.
This underground world is simply a hunting ground prepared for Yu Ke. There are all kinds of strange beasts everywhere. In addition, it is a newly discovered area in Jinghu Forest, so every step Yu Ke takes is an exploration of the new area, which is in line with the work content of [Forest Patrol Hunter], and brings continuous growth of experience.
The flesh and blood energy collected by the Thorn Dragon and Yu Ke fell from the same place. Even if the latter was delayed for a while, the direction would not change.
Thinking of this, Yu Ke took off his helmet decisively. This underground world can support so many creatures, and the environment must be fine.
With the bloody smell in the air that has not yet dissipated, Yu Ke quickly found the direction of the movement of the flesh and blood energy, turned on the route positioning function of the watch to ensure that the return route would not be lost, and then started this hunting in the underground world.
Sometimes stepping on tree roots, sometimes grabbing vines and swinging.
The Heart of the Wilderness can still take effect in the current environment, so Yu Ke does not have to worry about physical problems.
Not long after, Yu Ke made a new discovery.
He landed on the surface of a tree root, and in front of him were several giant mushrooms that were crushed.
The huge three-toed footprints across their surface looked particularly eye-catching, and there was also a little bloody smell in between. The smell of concentrated flesh and blood energy was very special, and Yu Ke would not make a mistake.
Judging from the size of the footprints, the size of the beast passing by here would only be larger than the Thorn Dragon.
The challenging hunting target made Yu Ke more and more excited.
However, while Yu Ke was busy exploring the cave world, the Forestry Defense Bureau and the Disaster Prevention Bureau were in chaos.
During the execution of the bombing mission, the Disaster Prevention Bureau monitored the situation on the scene through satellites and drones throughout the process, and they also saw the battle between Yu Ke and the Thorn Dragon.
Seeing Yu Ke successfully kill the Thorn Dragon and completely destroy the core of the Macrophagous Vine Forest, the Disaster Prevention Bureau and the Forestry Bureau had no time to cheer and celebrate before they saw Yu Ke falling into the abyss in order to completely eliminate the Thorn Dragon.
This is the hero who made great contributions in the attack on the Heisen Building not long ago!
How could he die in such a mission?
