Chapter 521: Human Corpses
The glare of the flashlight pierced the darkness ahead, and no one knew what awaited them at the end.
The traces of the excavation of the tunnel are relatively smooth, but fortunately, the downward slope is not so steep, so it will not slide down when walking.
"Come out. ”
Law raised his right hand and called out the black cat.
The black cat appeared, landing on the ground at the front of the group.
"Go ahead and find your way. Luo looked at the black cat and ordered.
Nowadays, the trading relationship between the black cat and Luo is getting deeper and deeper, so the black cat is not as unruly as it was at the beginning, and it is not so resistant in cooperation.
When he heard Luo's words, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and headed towards the front of the tunnel, and disappeared from everyone's vision in a blink of an eye.
When cockroaches emerge from the ground, they come out through many tunnels, so deeper tunnels may be intricate, and Dongba's detection ability will be weakened in this terrain.
At this time, it is the best choice to let the black cat, a telekinetic creature, explore the way.
It is impossible to predict what danger awaits them, and the trade-offs between glowing algae and flashlights must be considered as carefully as possible.
Over here... After all, it is the Dark Continent, and the twists and turns after landing have already made them recognize the characteristics of the Dark Continent.
The team moved forward in silence, with different mentalities.
Dongba was afraid and wanted to go home, but he could only cling to Luo's side to protect himself.
Bi Si Ji was surprised by the special nature of the Dark Continent, but also experienced calm.
On this trip underground, she hopes to encounter some rare rough stones, and if she can find gems left by ancient humans, or gems carved by nature, it is the best.
Bruna's knowledge was naturally confined to places like the Rock Island Crab, and after encountering several waves of terrifying biota, it was a real eye-opener for her to be afraid.
Luo may not have a rock-solid mentality like Bisiji, but he has a little more yearning, and he is about to reach out his hand, wanting to lift the veil and get a glimpse of the face under the veil.
It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or ugly.
Following the tunnel, the black cat did not send a warning, and the road was calm.
The tunnels are winding, the path is also full of forks, and the slope is getting steeper, almost approaching a 45-degree angle, and even if you sit down and use a little force, you can slide a distance.
I clearly feel the change in slope, and I don't know where the end is, and how many meters it will go straight into the ground.
Thirty minutes, sixty minutes, ninety minutes...
Down, down, down.
I walked in silence for ninety minutes, and I never encountered any danger, let alone the cockroaches that were active before.
Where did those ferocious cockroaches come from, I thought I would encounter a lot on the way to the underground, but I didn't want to, but it was so quiet.
The speed of the road is not slow, walking for two hours, the length of the tunnel is almost nearly 30 kilometers, although it is not straight down, but the depth should not be low.
Darkness, narrowness, and dead silence are all factors that will have a negative impact on human beings, but they will not affect Luo and Bisiji, even Dongba, who have been baptized several times, and their ability to resist pressure has been reflected.
Presumably, if Dongba can go all the way safely, when facing the ant king in the future, he may not be affected by the terrifying aura in the slightest.
Two hours and fifteen minutes later, the black cat, which was exploring its path ahead, turned back.
"Five hundred meters further on, it's an underground space that I don't know how much. Black Cat said.
Underground space?
Luo asked, "Is there a fork in the road?"
"Nope. The black cat replied.
"Got it. ”
Luo nodded, and the group continued to move.
The road without a specific direction is finally coming to an end.
The length of 500 meters was quickly completed, and everyone came to the exit of the tunnel, which was about two meters above the ground, and when they came to the exit, they could feel a faint wind blowing.
Luo raised the flashlight and swept around, the beam broke through the darkness, and it was vaguely obvious that it was an empty underground space, and when the flashlight was up, the light could not reach the top.
However, looking up, there was a small silver spot the size of a needle, perhaps the hole that had fallen into the abyss underground, and was left on the ground.
Dongba's mind did not warn of any danger, and everyone jumped to the ground, each holding a flashlight and scanning the surroundings, and could see all kinds of strangely shaped rocks.
There are needle-like sharp stone formations, flat stone groups with several hollowed holes, and stone forests that look like dead trees, but there are no creatures or plants to be seen.
The team takes a break to replenish their stamina and hydration, and then chooses a direction to move on.
Here, it seems to be a vast underground space that can be compared to the earth.
The procession walked for another ten minutes or so, and Law and Bisji stopped almost at the same time.
"It smells of blood. ”
A wisp of blood, carried by a breeze from nowhere.
Luo and Bisji sniffed it, but Nian, who was in charge of Dongba's detection, didn't know anything.
This means that the smell of blood came from at least three kilometers away.
If there is a smell of blood, it means fighting.
Due to the vastness of the terrain, considering the potential threat of cockroach swarms, it is necessary to discuss whether or not to go to the place where the smell of blood comes from.
However, Luo and Bisiji both belong to the type of artist who is bold, and they didn't think about it for too long, so they made the decision to go and find out.
Five minutes later, everyone came to a place close to the smell of blood, and there was no movement around, and Dongba did not detect any living creatures.
Under the light, it was a pile of corpses that fell to the ground.
The first corpse seen was a crocodile-like corpse, with a white skeleton covering its back, a lizard-like head, and its eyes covered with a thick layer of skin, and it seemed that the pupils could not be seen.
The corpse of the white bone lizard was mostly intact, but there was a deep depression in the middle of the face, which seemed to have been caused by a powerful blunt impact injury, which Luo and Bisji were more concerned about, and there was a scorch mark on the blunt blow wound.
It feels as if the bone lizard was struck with a red-hot hammer before dying.
Walking around, most of them were the corpses of white-boned lizards, each of which had died from a blow to the head or face.
Judging by the degree of eye degradation, the Bone Lizard is supposed to be a purely underground creature.
The corpses died from blunt blows, and the smell of blood was deeper.
Luo and his entourage did not linger long, allowing Dongba to maintain detection, and then continued to go deeper.
There were more and more corpses on the ground, not only white bone lizards, but also two other types of corpses.
One resembles a silkworm, and the other has its back upward, and it is actually humanoid.
At a hurried glance, the humanoid corpse was less than one and a half meters tall, with a pair of thighs that did not match the volume, which was extremely conspicuous.
