Chapter 264: Underground
"Mental confusion?"
Tang Lang had a vague thought in his heart, and said firmly: "Dean, grandfather, without further ado, I want to sneak into Ziwei City again to check the enemy's situation, it is best to catch a monster and test it, maybe I can find a good way to control the enemy." ”
"It's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'll go with you!" Gu Yuxia knew that she couldn't stop it, so she could only ask to act together.
Tang Lang wanted to use the scanning function of the system to go deep behind enemy lines, find a monster to verify whether his idea was feasible, and he didn't want anyone to go with him, so he had to shake his head and refuse: "Grandpa, I'll go alone, sneak in tonight, and I'll be back before dawn tomorrow, don't worry!
Seeing that Tang Lang was non-negotiable, the two had to agree, Tang Lang took out two bottles of Tianji Pregnancy Pill and handed them over: "This is the internal elixir of the Xuanjia Army, which can quickly restore spiritual power, maybe there will be a battle at any time, be prepared!"
Later, he found Sheng Yuansi, and also learned from his mouth that the monster was mentally deficient, and after providing a bottle of Dimensity Pregnancy Pill, he carefully surveyed the surroundings of the villa, especially the location that was broken through by the monster at that time and marked it separately.
After nightfall, Tang Lang left the villa alone and ran towards the location of Ziwei City in his memory.
"System, open the scan to the maximum, and send the stand-in out to explore the way!" Tang Lang couldn't help but give instructions, and the system did it one by one, he and the stand-in rushed forward one after the other, but the strange thing was that not to mention the human figures along the way, even the birds and beasts in the mountains and wilderness all disappeared.
Looking at the scanning interface, except for the light point that indicated his stand-in moving rapidly, there were no other living creatures, Tang Lang became more and more sad and angry in his heart, a good Ziwei City was turned into a barren land.
Ziwei City was not far from the border, Tang Lang ran wildly, and in less than an hour, the shadow of the tall city wall of Ziwei City had already appeared in front of his eyes, and the city that should have been brightly lit was now dark and without any light, and it was really like Gu Yuxia said, it had become a dead city.
Tang Lang's heart moved, and the silver-white phantom stand-in suddenly jumped up, climbing on the city wall like an ape, and the color also became gray and dull, completely integrated with the city wall.
The part of the city that can be covered by the system scan still no living creatures have been found, but Tang Lang didn't dare to be careless, and the deity came to hide in the shadows under the city wall, preparing to send a stand-in to sneak into the city to test first, and it can be recalled at any time in case of danger.
The stand-in slowly climbed up the city wall, and through its perspective, Tang Lang could overlook the entire Ziwei City, which was lifeless and without a sound.
"Go and take a look at the original Ziwei Academy!" Tang Lang identified the direction, controlled the stand-in to move quickly along the city wall, and only stopped when he came to the location of Ziwei Academy, and there was still nothing unusual after looking for a long time.
"Since you're here, you must check it carefully!" Tang Lang took a deep breath and manipulated the stand-in to sneak into Ziwei Academy quietly.
Along the way, I passed countless dormitories and houses, and there was silence inside. Randomly found a few rooms to check in, Tang Lang found that the things inside were messy, and there were even traces of fights in some rooms, which was definitely not a planned departure, but some kind of emergency.
Because Tang Lang had been stationed in Ziwei Academy for a period of time at that time, he still had some memories of the terrain, and sneaked towards the location where Shen Xiucheng, the dean of the college at that time, was located.
Everywhere the stand-in saw, there was still no clue, Tang Lang couldn't help but be a little frizzy: "How can tens of thousands of people disappear like this in a whole city? I haven't heard of any signs of large-scale migration, it must be something I didn't think of, look for it carefully!"
Since the stand-in was far beyond the scope of the system scanning, and could only look for abnormalities through its perception, Tang Lang didn't want to delay any longer, so the deity immediately sneaked into the Ziwei Academy and carefully checked it little by little.
waited until Tang Lang and the stand-in converged, but there were no new discoveries, and the scanning interface was always empty: "It's strange, so many big living people are all hiding, and they also need a spacious place, where is it?"
Just when Tang Lang was very anxious, he suddenly felt a very slight vibration under his feet, followed by several continuous shaking on the ground, he quickly lowered his body, lay on the ground and listened carefully, and sure enough, he sensed that in a very deep place underground, there were faint sounds and vibrations, if it weren't for the dead of night, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"What should I do, can I scan what is down there?" Tang Lang asked for help.
"Okay, master, start scanning now!"
The scanning interface began to slowly show the scene of the depths of the underground, which was more than five zhang deep, covered with corridors like spider webs extending in all directions, and it was impossible to see where the end leads, and as the system continued to scan, these corridors were not simply one layer, but were divided into three layers up and down, and the area was almost all over the entire Ziwei Academy.
"Is this hollowing out the entire academy?Could it be that what ruins or secret realms have been discovered, so it would take so much manpower to dig tunnels?" Tang Lang felt even more strange in his heart, and was ready to go down to find out.
"Master, let the stand-in open the tunnel first!" The system took the initiative to remind, and without waiting for Tang Lang to respond, he had already begun to order the stand-in to change its form, twisting its legs together into the shape of a pointed awl, spinning rapidly, and with a few breaths, it made a hole more than two feet wide in the ground, all the way to the tunnel deep underground.
Through the stand-in, Tang Lang found that the underground passage was also dimly lit, and there was a dim candle flame every hundred steps or so, and the flickering candlelight looked very gloomy.
"Isn't it a cemetery?" Tang Lang beat a little drum in his heart: "Yongdao, candle flames, cemetery, and inexplicable sounds, this is the rhythm of ghost movies!"
Although he has mastered the power that is hundreds of times better than that of his previous life, he still remembers the horror of the ghosts vividly, Tang Lang is a little creepy, and while instructing the system to turn on full firepower, he can't let go of any dead end when scanning, and at the same time let the stand-in take the lead more than ten zhang in front of him.
In this way, I walked hundreds of steps in fear, and saw on the scanning interface that the front passage merged into a semicircular hall not far away, and the exits of three passages appeared on the other side.
Just as the stand-in was about to step into it, Tang Lang saw a red dot suddenly flash and disappear on the scanning interface.
"Stop! it's weird!" Tang Lang's mind moved, and the stand-in immediately stood still, turning into a shadow and sticking to the tunnel wall, even the color was exactly the same.
Tang Lang also gathered all his breath, stared at the scanning interface carefully, and sure enough, after a while, the red dot appeared again in the same position and disappeared quickly, repeating it several times.
Tang Lang has an understanding of the scanning function of the system, as long as there are spiritual power fluctuations or items emitted by heat, they will be discovered by the system, but what happens when they appear in front of them and disappear when they disappear!
Since entering Ziwei City, everywhere is full of strangeness, where does he dare to be careless, so that the stand-in is still in the form of a shadow, sticking to the tunnel wall and moving in little by little, only then can he see the situation in the entire semicircular hall.
The hall was empty, and it looked like a hub of several passages, with only sleek curved walls except for one that intersected. However, at the location of the system scanning and labeling, Tang Lang still found anomalies.
At the top of the wall, a skin-colored, scaly humanoid creature hung itself firmly on it with sharp claws, and after a long pause, it would spit out a long scarlet tongue that shook in mid-air and then retracted into its mouth, flashing once on the scanning screen as soon as it spit out the long tongue.
"Is this a guard?" Tang Lang guessed that the purpose of this monster hiding here, if it wasn't discovered by the system, he would never have found out in advance, and if he was suddenly attacked by it, he would probably be seriously injured.
"If it's a guard, then it means that these monsters can understand basic orders and have a certain mind. Whether there is a mental weakness that grandpa said, just give it a try!"
The purpose of Tang Lang's trip was originally to test the weaknesses of these monsters, and no longer hesitated, a few people rushed to the door of the semi-circular hall, raised their hands and threw out an object, and the originally empty hall was suddenly filled with layers of fog, and his vision and thoughts were disturbed.
The monster that had been ambushed on the top of the cave before noticed that someone was invading, and a pair of vertical eyes on both sides of the head suddenly opened, and they released their claws and jumped down from the top of the cave, and pounced in the direction where Tang Lang was, but the ensuing dense fog immediately made it lose its direction and fall into the fog and swirl around.
"It really works!" Tang Lang cheered. What he threw just now was just a card of the Lost Array, and he had already imagined that if these monsters only had the most basic minds, then most of them would have no resistance to the Lost Array and would always be trapped in the Array.
Through the formation, Tang Lang carefully checked the monster's reaction. Although this monster has a human form, it does not walk upright, but runs on the ground with its hands and feet, which will be confused by the formation and completely lose its direction, and it will not be able to get out of the range covered by the formation when it goes back and forth.
It could be seen that the monster had been completely in a frenzy, the sharp claws of its limbs digging deep into the ground, and a cracked lip that opened slightly and hissed.
"Oh no! it may be calling for a companion!" Tang Lang didn't dare to let the monster scream anymore, and raised his hand to cut off the monster's head with a sword, and a dark green thick blood flowed to the ground, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
"Freezing Spell!" Tang Lang didn't know what other monsters the smell of blood would attract, so he quickly froze all of them into ice, but it was too late, there were swift and chaotic footsteps in several passages, and the scanning interface was red, and more than a dozen red dots surrounded him.
