"Little ghost, watch your back!" A centipede, with a red body and a body more than a meter long, turned into a streamer from the crack in the cliff and flew out towards Li Gui's back.

Although Lin Ziyue warned him, Li Hui hurriedly condensed his ability to protect his back, but he was still broken through the defense by the centipede, rubbing through the skin of his back, and then the injured area visibly became red and purple with the naked eye, and then began to fester.

Countless half-meter-long and D-level beetle beasts crawled out of the depths of the rift, and everyone in the exploration team was trapped by the centipede sea, and no one could escape.

The quasi-S-level powerhouse in the exploration team is struggling under the attack of a centipede with a thickness of more than ten meters at the moment, this one seems to be the leader of this group of beetle beasts, and his body only protrudes from the rock walls on both sides of the rift, but even this section is a hundred meters long.

Hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, ordinary beetle beasts will not die immediately even if they are injured by abilities or cut off by sharp weapons, they will continue to attack everyone in the exploration team with their remaining stumps, so to really kill every beetle beast will consume a lot of energy from the exploration team members.

As the exploration team continued to be injured and even killed, the ten members of the castle tower began to appear injured.

The first to fall was Li Hui, who fell because the wound on his back had invaded the fire poison, and then he couldn't get up again, and then Xiao Yufei collapsed to the ground, and then was pierced through his arm by a centipede's sharp accessory foot...

Because the number of those beetle beasts was too large, even compared to the marching ant colony encountered that day, even if everyone resisted hard, they were inevitably gradually submerged by the sea of insects.

The fire element in the rift valley is intense, and the abilities that Lin Ziyue can use at will in it can achieve twice or even three times the effect within the city wall, but it is a drop in the bucket for the sea of worms, when the exploration team of 100 people is reduced to half, Helsing and Anna finally can no longer hide, accompanied by two beast roars, the two of them skyrocketed and broke their clothes and finally turned into beast bodies.

Seeing Helsing and Anna suddenly transform into strange beasts, the others were stunned for a moment, and then continued to resist the ability of the centipede sea that pounced on the exploration team, even if there were still people who kept falling, but because of the two strange beasts, they still attracted the attention of most of the insect sea for the exploration team.

The battle besieged by the Centipede Sea lasted from day to night, and it was not until the moonlight that the Centipede Sea gradually retreated into the gaps in the cliffs on both sides of the rift valley due to habit.

At this time, the hundred-person team at the time of entering the rift, including the five A-level and fifteen B-level abilities, could still stand only more than 20 people, and among the ten people in the heavenly guard, except for Lin Ziyue, Xu Zhi, Bai Shaoqin and the two who turned into alien beasts, the others also all fell, falling on the corpses of countless alien beasts and teammates of the exploration team, and they did not know whether they were alive or died for the time being.

The quasi-S-level adept fell back to the ground, with countless hideous wounds on his body, fortunately, he dragged the centipede leader, otherwise with the strength of its imminent demon beast, it only needs to lead the tribe to launch a round of attacks on the crowd of the exploration team, and no one else can be spared except for the five A-class adepts in the team.

While everyone was counting the battle damage, Helsing and Anna also came back from afar, and the red blood leaked out from under the newly changed clothes of the two of them, and the recovery ability of the two second-generation demon beasts was not fast enough

The quick recovery shows how serious their injuries are.

Lin Ziyue dragged his tired body and watched Hai Xin approach the team, and when he pulled the corners of his mouth and stretched out his hand to help Hai Xin over, the five A-level abilities behind him moved, and with Lin Ziyue's current strength, he couldn't detect the movements of the A-level abilities, and when he reacted, the smile instantly froze on his face.

The five A-level abilities surrounded Haixin and Anna at this moment, and the weapons of different shapes in their hands had already penetrated the bodies of the two people, and after the attack, the five people quickly retreated, looking at the two with vigilant faces, and the smile on Haixin's face looking at Lin Ziyue was also frozen, looking at the five people who suddenly attacked, his eyes were full of doubts.

"For... Why... Hesin vomited a mouthful of blood, and at this time he was unable to pull out the weapon that pierced his body, so he had to sit weakly on the ground, and behind him, Anna, who had also fallen.

"No"

......

Lin Ziyue screamed like Zigui crying blood, and then suddenly woke up from his dream, and when he opened his eyes, he was still in the stone building, but a few friends in the same building had already left, and the sky was slightly white at this time.

Raised his hand and touched his forehead, it turned out to be already a cold sweat, Lin Ziyue seemed to be still immersed in the dream just now, and sat on the ground a little distracted at this time, leaning against the stone wall behind him.

Not far away, the Xiao sisters were leaning together, with a thin blanket on their bodies, and Li Ji was not far from the two, still sleeping peacefully at the moment. Mu Ji, Bai Shaoqin and Xu Zhi had already left, probably to go to the morning class, while Hai Xin was lying on the ground sleeping without regard to the image, and had already relaxed his vigilance.

Looking at the time, he probably slept for less than four hours, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the picture of Helin and Anna being pierced by countless sharp weapons appeared in his mind, Lin Ziyue also got up quietly, and then turned out of the window.

The early morning wind on the grassland was a little cool, and Lin Ziyue saw Bai Shaoqin and Xu Zhi who had begun early cultivation not far from the stone building, but he did not lean over, but flew towards the rift behind the stone tower alone.

After everyone woke up at dawn, everyone ate some breakfast casually and prepared to go down the rift valley according to the plan, Lin Ziyue, who had always been the leader, seemed a little absent-minded today, gathered under the stone building for a long time, and did not say the arrangements after going down to the valley.

"Lin, what's wrong with you?" Monet, who was standing beside him, was the first to notice that Lin Ziyue was in a slightly different state from usual, and then turned his head and asked softly on his side.

The castle tower and his party were not ordinary people, so although he lowered his voice, the others still heard it, so they looked at Lin Ziyue.

Lin Ziyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly, and shook his head: "It's okay, probably because I didn't have a good rest yesterday, I don't know much about the Western Rift, and the information on Tianxun is also very limited. ”

Hearing Lin Ziyue's reply, the others didn't think much about it, so everyone began to move and flew in the direction of the rift.

The existence of the stone building

This means that the Western Rift is not the first time that people have set foot in it, and when they arrived at the beginning of the rift, another thing appeared in front of them also proved that there had been many strangers here before, and there should be some low-level strangers among them.

The beginning of the western rift valley is less than a kilometer away from the stone tower, and when everyone flew here to prepare to fall into the valley bottom of the thousand-meter depth, they suddenly found that on the stone wall at the beginning of the rift, there is a stone platform extending from the stone wall as a buffer landing point every 100 meters away, and a total of more than a dozen people are staggered towards the valley bottom.

If a person with a C-level ability is not particularly good at flying, it is still a little troublesome to travel to and from this thousand-meter-high valley, but if there are these stone platforms to turn back, then let alone a C-level, even a D-level ability can pass through safely and easily come and go.

Hai Xin jumped off the cliff first, then landed on the stone platform, and finally landed steadily on the ground at the bottom of the valley, and then a flame ignited in his hand, indicating that there was nothing unusual below the people above the deep valley, and the others saw Hai Xin's signal, and also fell to the bottom of the valley, and went deep into the western rift under the leadership of Hai Xin and Xu Zhi.

The terrain of the Western Rift Valley is relatively narrow at both ends, and because of the high cliffs, the valley is much darker than the outside, and the dry and cracked wasteland under the feet of everyone is not a single grass.

However, after a few kilometers of walking, the terrain between the rift valleys gradually became more open, and the influence of the rock walls on both sides on the light in the valley was almost negligible, so from here the bottom of the rift began to appear plants and animals.

The rift valley is more than 2,000 kilometers in total, and according to the speed at which the castle tower and his party are now moving forward in the valley, they can only travel about 200 kilometers in one day, and the date of the exploration team's arrival is four days later, which means that everyone can go deep into the rift valley for a distance of about 500 kilometers before they have to return.

After traveling through the wasteland and entering the vegetated valley floor for about ten kilometers, the castle tower and his party encountered the first group of strange beasts they encountered in the Western Rift, numbering about 100 animals, with an average body length of about two meters and weighing more than half a ton, led by a C-class fire boar.

The people of the castle tower did not alarm them at will, but hid behind a lush bush a few hundred meters away, and watched the pigs move in an orderly manner towards the depths of the rift valley under the guidance of the fiery boar.

"The Yanhuo Wild Boar is a territorially strong beast, and it stands to reason that it is rare for such a large number to gather together except for the time period of reproduction, I am afraid that this is what the Water Cloud King said, the fire element crystal ore in the rift valley attracts them to migrate. Looking at the herd of wild boars in the distance foraging and forcing them to feed, Monette shrugged his shoulders and said.

Hai Xin glanced at it and nodded: "There are a lot of Yanhuo wild boars in the group in front, but none of them are ordinary beasts, one C-level, twenty D-class, and the remaining E-level of water, all of which are foreign beasts. ”

Hearing this, the others all showed some serious expressions, although the elemental crystal ore was only attractive to alien beasts, which would allow the alien beast race to automatically filter out those ordinary beasts when they migrated, and the number would be much less than what they saw on the grassland.

But it also means that, except for those animals native to the Rift, all those who migrate from the rest of the world because of the fire element will be alien beasts, and once they do it, the castle tower will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, at least for now.
