1 He Walked to the Abyss Chapter 158 Basins and Villages
The location of the basin is extremely low, and there is a waterfall formed by a long river on the high ground opposite, which flows into the lake in the middle, and next to the lake, there are some small beasts playing and drinking there, and in the lake, huge giant beasts appear and disappear from time to time, like islands, and on their backs, occasionally some strange birds stay.
On the land, there are countless lives that are multiplying, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is heaven.
When the boy rode into the basin on a huge demon dragon, he startled countless birds and beasts, and fled in all directions as if avoiding a disaster.
"The environment here is a bit of a paradise. β
With a light compliment, Chen Ming jumped off the dragon's back and said with a smile, "But your physique is not very suitable for here." β
"Without magic, I can't transmogurate, the demon dragon is naturally strong, and coupled with the harsh environment on the periphery of the abyss, we also have to adapt. β
Drex's mouth opened slightly, and said, "Why don't I go back to the forest first?"
"Forget it, it's all here, so be it. β
Chen Ming smiled slightly, and said, "Rest here for two days first, and then pass through the basin after two days, where I think there should be intelligent life, and when the time comes, ask about the whereabouts of those Life Suppression Demon Stones." β
"Good. β
Drex nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the lake first, what do you say?"
"I, I'll just walk over. β
Chen Ming said with a smile, took a step, and walked towards the center, and the demon dragon did not stay any longer, spread its wings, and flew over the basin and landed on the edge of the lake.
The peculiar thing is that since the discovery of life in the abyss, this world has a division of day and night, but unlike the outside world, there is no sun, moon and stars in the day and night here, but a bright light that comes from nowhere, which is day, and when the light is extinguished, it is night.
At night, some plants on the ground will emit a faint light, magically twinkling, replacing the moon and starry sky, and embellishing the night.
Walking among the flickering flowers, Chen Ming glanced at the world, like a traveler, curiously looking at the new and strange environment.
"Maybe that's the kind of world Heath Ledger wants to create, right?"
Remembering that when he was in the Temple of Time, the elf king Heath Ledger gave him an exam question, which was a similar concept, the young man bent down and casually folded a flower that emitted a red light, but after leaving the rhizome, the light of the flower did not feel extinguished.
"Amazing species. β
Chen Ming thought to himself, casually playing with the extinguished flowers, he took out the claw gloves, tied the strips of cloth to his hands, and began to stare at a hexagonal antelope eating flowers and plants not far away.
"Huh!"
The antelope seemed to be alert, and its fur clung to its skin, becoming shiny.
"Since you've been detected, let's see if it's me who is fast, or if you're fast!"
With a smile in his heart, Chen Ming jumped up, even if he didn't have magic power, the young man's physical fitness was still strong, and he jumped three meters, and his sharp claws tilted downward, grabbing at the antelope.
The speed of the antelope is also very fast, and at the moment when Chenming falls, it takes a slender front leg and quickly throws it away.
"Can you escape?"
Chen Ming sneered, and on his other hand, a long strip of cloth was tied with a sharp claw, and he threw it hard, just on the horns, made a few bends, and strangled it tightly.
Because of inertia, the antelope's front feet float in the air for a while before falling to the ground, and then dragging with great effort.
The long strip of cloth made of An Mixiu's dress was tougher than ordinary clothes, and Chen Ming's strength was extremely great, and for a while, the two began to stalemate.
"This guy, why is he so strong in eating grass?"
While retracting the strip of cloth, Chen Ming slowly approached, it was obvious that the antelope did not have a high level of intelligence, on the contrary, it could only rely on the instinct of fear, wanting to drag away.
"Forget it, let's eat wild vegetables tonight. β
Looking at the desperate clear sheep's eyes, Chen Ming sighed in his heart, and as soon as he raised his hands, the rope tied to the sheep's horns fell off.
The antelope was pardoned, and jumped away in a panic, but it didn't run far, and in Chenming's angry gaze, it was bitten by a three-tailed cheetah.
Blood sprayed outward, and the antelope struggled to stand up, and then slumped limply on the ground, and the cheetah's mouth only then let go, licking the blood off its face, and it was ready to enjoy its food.
"Humph!"
Chen Ming snorted softly, pinched the claws in his hand, and pounced on the cheetah at lightning speed.
The cheetah that was eating was extremely alert, and by the time it spotted Chenming, the latter's minions were already approaching.
"Roar!"
But this cheetah is not only fast, but also very agile, and dodges before its claws fall.
"Sting!"
Because he couldn't retract his strength, Chen Ming's claws fell directly on the antelope's corpse, bringing up a piece of blood, and when he looked at it again, the corpse had been divided into five sections, and the blood mixed with visceral fat flowed all over the ground.
And the cheetah took advantage of the moment of Chen Ming's astonishment and fled in a hurry.
"Where did this monster come from? It has no magic power, but it can condense its claws so hard and sharp?"
Chen Ming had no intention of chasing, but set his eyes on the pitch-black paws, even if he cut the antelope, it was still not stained with any blood, which looked extremely magical.
"Obviously, this monster is not a creature in this evolutionary zone. β
The only thing that is certain is this guess, Chen Ming shook his head slightly, and looked at the corpse of the antelope, "The weak eat the strong, even if you can't escape my pursuit, you still can't escape the predation of natural enemies." β
He crouched down, slightly disposed of the antelope's carcass, and continued towards the lake.
Coming to the lake, Chen Ming saw Drex, who was wandering in the lake, and the latter wanted to swim over, but he waved his hand to stop, "You go hunting by yourself, remember, don't destroy too much." β
Hearing Chenming's shout, Drex nodded, hissed, and dived to the bottom of the lake.
Although the lake also has a huge life as a dragon, it is obvious that the dragon with magical power is more powerful than the physique, and in a short time, the surface of the lake is floating a blood-red.
"This guy ......"
Looking at the boiling blood-colored water, the corners of Chen Ming's eyes twitched, but he didn't care, the dragon was huge and needed a lot of food, and the energy in all the life bodies here was not enough to replenish them, so their food consumption also increased a lot.
It took more than an hour for Chen Ming to use some of the survival knowledge he had learned in his memory to light the flame, set up some dry wood and hay, and lit a high bonfire.
Placing the processed antelope meat next to the fire and roasting, Chen Ming fell into thought, "Is life created or evolved from nature?"
No one gave him an answer, the biological evolution theory he had learned in the past was extremely conflicting with some magical theories in hell, even contradictory, and he didn't know which side was right and which side was wrong.
"Perhaps, the birth of life itself has a variety of possibilities?"
Giving up thinking, he gently smelled the faint aroma of roasted antelope meat, and he was already hungry and moved his index finger and ate it without any image.
After eating, Chen Ming lay directly down next to the fire and fell asleep.
Unlike the demonic beasts in the outside world, although the beasts here are also fierce, they are extremely afraid of fire, so Chenming next to the fire is rare and quiet.
At dawn, Tatsunaru, who had no intention of getting up early, suddenly opened his eyes because he felt something groping on his body.
He hurriedly got up and looked vigilantly at the short figure in front of him, who was also a little wary of his movements, "What is this?"
The figure is not tall, but a bit like the dwarves in the outside world, strong but short, but unlike the dwarves, the ears of this figure are more similar to those of elves, and it looks a little funny with a fur hat made of animal skin.
"He seems to be talking about something......"
With a somewhat strange face, looking at this dwarf who seemed to be angry but always stayed away from him, Chen Ming beckoned with a smile and said, "Come here." β
The dwarf was stunned, muttering some words that Chen Ming didn't understand, and walked over scolding.
At this moment, a huge wave suddenly broke in the lake, and Drake's huge head stuck out of the water, "What happened?"
"Whew!"
The dwarf was suddenly startled, and hurriedly pulled out the short hair pinned to his waist, and scolded angrily at the demon dragon, but his mouth was not intimidating, and his steps slowly retreated.
"Can you come out later?"
Shaking his head helplessly, Tatsunami beckoned to the dwarf again, and gently patted the dragon's nose to signal that there was no danger.
The dwarf breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to approach, put away his spear, and gestured, as if asking Chenming.
"Who do you say we are?"
Chen Ming was stunned, then pointed to the sky, and made a falling gesture, "We are from outside." β
The dwarf shook his head in disbelief, then beckoned and walked forward.
"You wait here first, and I'll come when I go. β
Tatsunami spoke to the dragon, and then followed the dwarf.
"Will it be dangerous?"
Drex began, "Shall we go together?"
"This kind of dwarf without magic can't keep me. β
Chen Ming waved his hand and walked away from the dwarf.
......
He followed the dwarf to the edge of the waterfall, and the dwarf climbed up with a gesture.
"Do you want me to climb up with him?"
Chen Ming thought in his heart, but the movements in his hands were the same as those of the dwarves.
It seemed that he often went in and out of the basin, and the dwarf was familiar with moving on the cliff, and to his surprise, Chen Ming behind him was not left behind by himself at all, and he cursed and muttered a few words, and he sped up.
However, the dwarf didn't know that Chen Ming didn't need to be so troublesome if he wanted to climb over this rough basin cliff, his physical fitness could be five or six meters in a single bounce, and this cliff with a foothold was less than a hundred meters and had a foothold, and it didn't even take a minute to get it, and the reason why he followed the dwarf to climb slowly was just to let the former lead the way.
After climbing for about half an hour, they landed on the ground smoothly, and Chen Ming looked around, only to see that on both sides of the riverbank, there was a green field, and the breeze gently blew through him, making him extremely comfortable.
After standing for a moment, the dwarf took another step and walked forward, while Tatsunaru followed closely.
After walking for about an hour, they came to a small village.
Like the dwarves, the houses in the village are not very tall, and from a distance there is a hint of cooking smoke.
"This is where intelligent life lives?"
Standing at the entrance of the village, Chen Ming looked inside, there were many people like dwarves in the village, busy, walking, they were wearing some clothes made of animal skins, as if they were still in a primitive society.
At this time, the dwarf beside him suddenly scolded, and Chen Ming came back to his senses and bent down to apologize, "I'm sorry." β
The dwarf could not understand his language, but he could see the apology in his movements, frowned and said something, and entered the village.
The inhabitants of the village were obviously very curious about the unexpected visitor like Chenming, but they did not approach this stranger who was much taller than themselves.
And Chen Ming was smiling, not showing the slightest hostility, the eighteen-year-old boy was not very tall, about one meter seventy-five, and he was even short in hell, but here, there was some illusion of standing out from the crowd.
He followed the dwarf to a bungalow, and the latter knocked on the door and said something.
At the same time, an old voice came from inside the door, and the door opened, and out came an old man with a wrinkled face, with a white beard on his face, as if he could see everything, and there was a wisdom in his eyes.
Although the old man was also very surprised by Chenming's arrival, he was not as scared as the other dwarves.
"Hello. β
Chen Ming saluted and introduced himself, "My name is Chen Ming, and I am from the world outside here. β
"Oh, young stranger, I understand your language. β
To Chenming's surprise, the old man was speaking the same language as himself, and he stepped aside and said, "Please come in." β
"Thank you. β
Finding someone who could understand his own language, Tatsunaru was also extremely happy, and although he felt strange in his heart, he still bent down and walked in.
The furnishings of the house were very simple, and the only ornaments were the animal skins and longbows hanging on the walls.
Taken by the old man to sit down in front of a futon, Chen Ming opened his mouth and asked, "Respected elder, I have some questions that I would like to ask you. β
"To be able to meet Tarui in the basin shows that you have a fate with our goblin clan. β
The old man smiled and said, "Young stranger, if you have any questions, just ask, I know and will tell you." β
"Thank you, Elder. β
Chen Ming thanked him, and then said, "Elder do you know if there is a mineral called the Demon Suppression Stone in this abyss......?"
"It's the world of magic, right?"
The old man didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted, "Young stranger, I'm not old enough to know anything. β
"I was foolish. β
Chen Ming smiled, "If you can understand my language, it means that you know what kind of world is outside." β
"Huh. β
The old man smiled and said, "Similarly, I also know where the Demon Suppression Stone you are talking about. β
"Oh?"
Chen Ming was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Please tell me more!"
This time, the old man shook his head and said, "That place is too dangerous, full of black fog and weirdness, and there are countless giant beasts and green ghosts circling, not to mention that you don't have magic power, even if you have, you can't pass through that place and reach the location of the Demon Suppression Stone." β
"However, I came here with all the great trouble just to get the Demon Suppression Stone and save my friends!"
Chen Ming's tone was very sincere, "Thank you for your concern, but the Demon Suppression Stone, I have to get it!"
The old man pondered for a moment, then finally waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, after asking so many times, you outsiders always answer like this, since this is the case, then I will tell you." β
"Thank you!"
Chen Ming saluted heartily.
Seeming to be a little helpless, the old man sighed again before he said, " On the other side of this grassland, there is a very different world from here, it is full of darkness and tyranny, and before you, there have been some outsiders who have gone there, in my opinion, each of them is very strong, at least countless times stronger than you when you are younger, but I have never seen any of them come back, although we goblins are not strong, but our life is extremely long, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, all the same, go to one, disappear one, so, ah, young stranger, out of kindness, I still hope that you can stay and live with us, there is nothing wrong with thatγ β
"To be honest, I do like it very much, but I'm not like the Elders. β
Chen Ming smiled, "You can live here for countless years, because there is no desire in your heart, you can see the bright me, the desire in my heart has long been like thorns wrapped around my body, no matter what, there is no way to break free, so, thank you for your kindness, and thank you for helping me." β
"If you say so, then I won't persuade you anymore. β
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "But it's rare to come once, so it's better to stay and play for a few days." β
"Of course. β
Chen Ming nodded with a smile, and then said, "It's just that I have a giant dragon friend who is still in the basin, and I have no intention of destroying your village, so I'll live there for the next few days." β
"It's up to you. β
The old man nodded as well, and then shouted out the door in a goblin whisper.
After a while, a petite girl walked in outside the door, and Chen Ming saw that it was clearly a miniature version of the elf, moving and beautiful.
"Who is this?"
Chen Ming looked at the old man puzzled.
The old man beckoned, called the girl to his side, and said, "This is my granddaughter, Xue Lei, she has learned some of your language from me, and in the meantime, let her be your translator." β
Chen Ming nodded suddenly, and then smiled at the girl and saluted, "Hello, Miss Xuelei, I'll trouble you in the next few days." β
Xue Lei seemed a little frightened, but nodded slightly, and then hid behind the old man, poking out her little head to look at him curiously.
Chen Ming didn't care, got up and said,
"So, that's all for today, my friend is still waiting for me to go back, thank you again, for your help to me. β
