Chapter 346 Valley Bottom

After nearly half an hour, the three people pulling the rope down finally saw the ground - if that could be called the ground.

Looking up, there is only a long, narrow slit in the sky at the mouth of the rift valley. In the already dark rift valley, it has long been impossible to observe the environment with the naked eye. Out of caution, no one took out a light source, but relied on the "night vision filter" that comes with the game system to move in the dark.

Although this filter effect allows people to see things in the dark clearly, it cannot penetrate fog, dust and other suspended particles in the air, so the field of view is still somewhat blurry.

However, although the fog at the bottom of the valley was thick, the visibility was not too low, and the only thing that made the three of them look at each other for confirmation was the endless figure of the human figure.

Countless "people" are scattered all over the valley bottom, and each figure is surrounded by the dark red mist of thick fog. I don't know if it is an illusion, but the three players always feel that the color of the rocks at the bottom of the valley is darker than that of the top of the rift valley. The walls are heavier and darker, and even the tip of your nose can smell the foul smell of blood.

The three of them were hanging in the air in unison, looking at the mind-numbing scene at the bottom of the valley. They did not dare to continue descending. They took screenshots and videos and sent them to a third-party chat group, while reporting the situation on the team channel.

"Report, identification results show that they are unknown, but they are definitely not humans! They are just unknown creatures with human shapes!"

"Maybe it's not a living thing."

Lu Ying, who took time out of his busy schedule to participate in this exploration activity and act as a temporary consultant, said: "Try to see if light can penetrate."

After listening to Lu Ying's instructions, one of the players decisively took out a "flashlight" from a certain Qiankun bag on his waist. This "flashlight" was just developed by several scientific research institutes responsible for the flower grower project team. The principle is also It is completely different from the flashlights that are everywhere on Blue Star. Instead, it uses spiritual stones as kinetic energy, which is burned through formations and converted into light. Not to mention the high cost, it is not yet mass-produced, so only when the project team decides to launch a mission, Only then will they be paired with members in case of emergencies.

In the blink of an eye, an extremely strong light appeared at the bottom of the valley. Like an invader, it penetrated the thick fog at the bottom of the valley and pierced straight towards the figures on the ground.

The strange thing is that all the figures that were illuminated by the flashlight disappeared in an instant.

This scene made the three people a little confused. The man holding the flashlight thought for a moment and swept the ground back and forth with the flashlight. Soon, the strange figures that had been illuminated disappeared, and the ground under the three people's feet disappeared. A large open space was cleared.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded one after another, and slowly landed on the ground one by one. They quickly took out a few stones, formed a larger circle, surrounded everyone, and then started to light the fire. , camp.

At this moment, the whole process of shining a flashlight on the strange figure was recorded and sent to the group. Within a few minutes, many people came to a small conference room and slowly played the recording repeatedly, observing. Every detail.

The door of the conference room opened and closed, and in a short time, more than a dozen people gathered in the small conference room. Everyone was talking quietly, but they couldn't come up with any reliable guesses.

The reason why this matter is so taken seriously is not only due to the spirit of humanism and the desire to explore the secrets of other worlds, but more importantly, even Fang Xianyu's reply was that he had never seen such a "thing" before. ".

Those figures have been enlarged many times, and the pixels are somewhat blurred, but it can still be seen that there are no facial features on the figures' "faces", and there are no fingers or toes on their hands and feet. Even the shapes of the bones and muscles in some parts of their bodies are different. It's very twisted and doesn't look like it could be grown by a human being.

Everyone slow-played the moment when the figures disappeared many times, and finally determined that the disappearance of these figures was actually traceable - they all disappeared into the ground in an instant.

"Should we let them dig into the ground and try it?"

"It's better to consider getting up close to those things before making a decision!"

"The main thing is that they seem to be motionless! They only burrow into the ground when they are exposed to light!"

A certain biologist coughed lightly, attracting the attention of others, and then began to talk about his own point of view: "Well, they have strong light avoidance... Also, I don't know if everyone has paid attention, When they penetrate the ground, they appear in a melting state, abandoning their 'human' shape and pursuing speed, so can we consider that they have mimetic habits?"

Someone who ran into the conference room asked relentlessly: "Are you sure this isn't a soul or something like that?"

"No, α gave a clear answer. Referring to our experts' summary and comparison of the form and characteristics of the souls in the Guixu Realm, it is indeed quite different from the form of the soul, and we have also confirmed that our few rabbits on missions In the status bar, there are no debuffs related to Yin Qi and evil spirits..."

The director who initiated the meeting patiently and quickly read through all the contents before explaining to everyone: "Of course, α also mentioned that this thing may be another unknown form of the soul, although she also Never seen it. So we cannot completely deny this possibility. We can only say that based on the current intelligence and details, it should not be the case.

"Also, this thing doesn't seem to be aggressive, and it doesn't seem to be the cause of the disappearance of the souls of the creatures in the Guixu Realm. We can only wait for the three rabbits to build a ground camp and continue exploring to see if we can find anything else."

While the discussion was going on in the conference room, three players from I Love Farming Society had quickly built a simple camp and arranged a simple teleportation array bought from the sect merchant.

"Report! The teleportation array was successfully activated and should be usable!"

"Report! We decided that one person would stay in the camp, and two people would continue to explore the bottom of the rift!"

The team channel was filled with a serious atmosphere. These five people were a group of rabbits who had passed layers of assessment and screening and obtained game qualifications. They were also the best of this group of rabbits. Only then could they stand out from so many rabbits and compete for the quota for this mission. Therefore, before the mission was carried out, the Flower Planting Family Project Team had decided that the five of them would arrange the details of the entire mission and grasp the situation. The "report" during this period was just a progress report and did not need to be responded to.

Therefore, after the few people finished reporting in the team channel, they continued to be busy.

The three of them first distributed some supplies to each other, and then they split into two groups, one stayed behind while the other two continued on. However, it was quite interesting that the way to determine who would stay behind in the camp was to play rock-paper-scissors, which made the somewhat tense team atmosphere a lot more relaxed.
