Deep underground, the dark river flows slowly, and the fluorescence at the bottom of the water is the only source of light here. Li Mu and the two sat on a small sampan, rowing the oars and pushing the sampan forward.

At this moment, the two of them were wearing dusty hemp coveralls, with leather belts on them, cuirass, leg armor, arm guards and leg guards. Li Mu also added an extra rusty cuirass.

This inferior cuirass could not withstand bullets, but it was resistant to bites and claw strikes from ghouls and mutated creatures, and was a common sight among marauders who often slept in the wilderness.

Li Mei's, with a dirty gas mask over her face. His hair was cut short and tucked into the dirty yellow waterproof hat on top of his head. She also wrapped a bandage around the fullness of her chest, and then put on a leather cuirass that didn't fit well, and no matter how poisonous her eyes were, she couldn't tell that she was a woman.

"Still thinking about Xuanxuan?"

Li Mei's voice was a little sullen through the gas mask.

"Hmm"

Li Mu said while paddling the oars. He remembered the scene when he had brought his sister to the boat yesterday, her cries and tears that had melted his steely heart. He forcibly suppressed the urge to rush to the boat and carry her down with his will. Just stood on the dock and didn't turn away until I couldn't see my sister's waving arms on the boat.

"Are you still used to the cells of the sun golden bird in your body?"

Li Mu gave the two of them the superpower potion he had prepared yesterday, and there were six kilograms of spiritual energy crystals together, which was enough for the two of them to improve the spiritual energy of five thousand Valen.

Li Mei raised a finger, and a spiritual flame appeared on it, slowly swaying and burning. Gives off a white-gold glow.

[Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao: You have the noble blood of the Golden Bird flowing in your body, and you are born with the temperament of a leader. Mortals will fear you, and the Lord will rise one level at a time. You will gain an additional 0.1 Strength, 0.1 Constitution, 0.2 Intelligence and 0.3 Will.

[Psionic Fire: Affected by the Golden Bird's blood, your psionic energy will have an additional flame form, and the temperature and power of the flame will be determined by the psionic energy consumed. Burn all opponents to ashes with a raging golden flame. 】

Li Mei increased the output of spiritual energy, and the flames on her fingertips suddenly swelled, becoming the size of a basketball, and the blazing fire illuminated the underground scene in every detail.

"Thirty valens of psionic energy can be fed to raise the temperature of the flame to more than 300 degrees. But to raise the flame to 900 degrees, it will take five hundred valens of psionic energy to continuously consume, and even if all my psionic energy is consumed, it will only last for more than a second. ”

Each level of the Evil Spirit Hunter will increase the upper limit of psionic energy by one hundred and seventy-five Valen, and Li Mei is now a level 3 Evil Spirit Hunter, and the total amount of psionic energy has reached five hundred and twenty-five Valen, which is already very remarkable, but it still can't support the consumption of psionic fire. Only she rose to the third energy level. Coupled with the amplification of psionic crystals, you can use psionic flames at will.

This is a skill that attaches great importance to the total amount of psionic energy, and it is not even as good as burning * burning * bombs in the early stage. Once there, there is almost no upper limit to the power.

The small sampan moved forward slowly, and I don't know how long it had been running. The once dim rock face has been reduced to reinforced concrete. Through the fluorescence from the bottom of the water, it can be seen that the concrete layer on the wall has peeled off, revealing the rusted steel bars inside.

The concentration of radiation in the air began to rise slowly. Li Mu was able to endure it because his physical attributes were very high. Li Mei even with a gas mask. The air inhaled into the body still makes the lungs feel a tingling sensation. She swallowed a pill of anti-radiant, and only then did she feel a little better.

"We're already in the ruins of the city. It used to be the city's subway network, but now it's all flooded. ”

Li Mu lowered his voice, a burst of spiritual energy fluctuated in his palm, and a steel sword appeared in his hand, there were many mutant creatures lurking in the water here, but it was not as safe as the previous waterway.

Li Mei's psionic bullet is too loud and easy to attract monsters, so it is more convenient for him to use a sword.

The water here still looks very clear, but the concentration of radiation is surprisingly high. The rain washes away the radioactive dust on the surface and eventually collects into the underground subway system and sewer system. This is the place where the ruins of the whole city radiate the most.

It's still upstream of the subway waterway, and the radiation concentration is not very high, but downstream, the radiation there is so bad that it can kill people.

Li Mu took out a bottle of anti-radiation grease and handed it to Li Mei, asking her to rub it on those exposed skin. Her hands were already slightly reddened, the marks of radiation's erosion of her skin.

The fluorescent aquatic plants at the bottom of the water grow savagely because of their abundant energy, almost occupying all the space, and a glowing jungle grows at the bottom of the water. The entire subway was bright, and the light was so intense that it could dazzle people's eyes.

Suddenly there was a gap ahead, and they came to a subway platform, where the groundwater had turned into a pool of water. Under the light, you can still see the pre-war billboards on the walls, but the paint on the billboards has already turned into a blurry abstract pattern under the erosion of radiation and water.

Through the clear water, you can see scattered bones in the aquatic plants. Some of these bones were victims who hid in subway stations before the war, and some were scavengers who tried to go to the subway stations to pick up waste after the war.

In the environment of high-radiation water day after day, the subway rails, which are already of excellent materials, have become precious mutated metals. Even in Larkin Bayd, these rails are enough to sell for a high price. This has led countless scavengers to dive underwater in diving suits one after another to salvage the railroad tracks.

But the bottom of the water is always more dangerous than the ground, and countless people have died in the mouths of aquatic mutant creatures.

Li Mu looked at the subway platform covered with fungus, and barely made out the words Rithala written on it in Inglis.

After checking the subway map given to him by the Great Elder, he determined his location, which was at the terminus of Line 1 of the pre-war subway system. They only had to pass three more platforms along the subway tunnel to leave the unsettling underground.

Li Mu's eyes narrowed, and he was on high alert. They have stopped paddling. Let the sampan follow the current. This sampan is camouflaged and looks out from the bottom of the water. It's just a thicker log, used to fool the predators underwater. But there are always some mutated creatures that are smart enough. Able to see through disguises.

If they were to be knocked over by those aquatic mutants and thrown into the water, they would be in big trouble.

Worried about something, a huge black shadow suddenly rose from the bottom of the water, silently swimming towards the sampan. When it was two or three meters away from the sampan, the powerful tail of the unknown monster suddenly flicked violently, and the entire huge and heavy body jumped out of the water lightly, rushing towards Li Mu on the sampan.

It was a lower mouth catfish, a fish that was omnivorous. Known as scavengers before the war, they were kept among ornamental fish to clean food scraps and algae from the walls of the fish tank.

After the war, they somehow managed to get into the stagnant water of the subway system, and survived here because of their tenacious vitality. Stimulated by radiation, their body size mutated from five or six centimeters to three or four meters.

The whole body is grayish-black, with black and white patterns, and the body surface is densely covered with rough shield scales, with a towering dorsal fin and a flattened tail. It has an abundance of suction cups in its mouth. Able to suck up prey and drag it into the water to drown. The spines on the thorax and abdomen support their bodies to crawl on land.

This pet of the subfamily Bassidae has mutated into a terrifying human killer.

Its mouth is wide open, revealing disgusting pink suckers. wants to be attached to Li Mu's body.

A cold light flashed, and the steel sword in Li Mu's hand slashed horizontally, and the strength of his arms at this time had exceeded more than a ton. Only a little more than a kilogram of steel sword was in his hand, light and catkins.

The blade of the steel sword squeezes air. There was a loud roar, and it slashed at the hard head of the lower catfish.

The brute force of the sword turned the not-so-sharp steel sword into clay. It easily split the shield scales on the forehead of the catfish. Shattered its skull, sending the entire catfish flying.

There was a hissing sound, and its blood spurted out, and the corpse fell into the water with a thud, splashing a wave and floating on the water.

A group of finger-sized black fish were alarmed by the smell of blood, and they came out of nowhere, gathering into a black and oppressive dark cloud, swarming towards the corpse of the catfish.

Their sharp teeth easily bit open the hard shield scales, burrowing into the flesh and biting.

In an instant, the entire body of water was boiling, and all kinds of mutated fish that came out of nowhere competed to tear the flesh of the fish. Red blood stained half of the water.

All the mutated creatures in the nearby waters were attracted to the corpse and enjoyed the feast.

Li Mei watched the countless strange-shaped fish burrow in and out of the corpse, and suddenly felt a chill in her back, almost creepy.

Her palm suddenly warmed, but Li Mu quietly held her hand and squeezed it hard. For some reason, it filled her heart with courage again.

Li Mu let go of his hand and checked the steel sword in his hand. After the fierce collision just now, this sword not only broke out of the blade of the sword, but even the sword body became crooked.

Fortunately, Li Mu had already guessed that he would encounter this situation, and he had put more than a dozen swords in the wave particle transformation rune.

The original sword had been buried in Cheng Gesi's tomb as a burial object. There was his intercostal nerve in that sword, and Li Mu wanted the old man who had given him a lot to sleep in the ground intact.

And the demon hunting sword that the Great Elder gave him, he didn't dare to take it out and use it. The sword was filled with powerful psionic fluctuations that were enough to drive the mutated creatures of the entire body of water crazy.

The sampan moved slowly, passing two platforms unharmed along the way. Among them, they encountered three mutated creatures with high intelligence. Fortunately, their strength did not exceed the limit that Li Mu could handle, and they were killed by him with his sword.

Their cleverness has become a reason for their deaths.

Finally arrived at the destination, Li Mu looked at the vague ChawriBazar sign, and breathed a big sigh of relief, even with his will, his nerves had been highly tense, and he was a little overwhelmed by now.

From this platform, they were only two kilometres away from Larkin Beed. This area is already full of human footprints, and the danger is much lower.

Paddled slightly in the water with the oars, carefully changing the direction of the sampan and paddling towards the escalator of the platform. This pre-war escalator has been eroded by time, and it has been overgrown with glowing moss, and the glass handrails on both sides have been encroached upon by ferns.

"Boom!"

A muffled thud rang loud in the silence of the ground, and the sampan slammed into the escalator.

Li Mu's heart hung in vain, for fear of alarming some mutated creature.

Fortunately, the water surface of the platform is still as calm as water, and the mutated creatures under the water do not move.

"Go ashore and watch out for the moss on the steps so you don't slip."

Li Mu lowered his voice and said, he held the steel sword in his hand tightly, covering Li Mei to step on the escalator first.

The sampan was lifted upward, and Li Mei carefully stepped on the escalator. Climbed to the second floor of the subway platform. The rust-covered escalator creaked and swayed uncomfortably.

With the Lynnfield rifle in her hand, she was half-kneeling on the ground, watching warily at the dimly lit ticket hall for possible enemies. Li Mu also got down from the sampan and climbed the escalator, and a slight spiritual energy fluctuation in his palm included the sampan into the wave particle transformation rune.

They will need this boat again when they leave.

The boat suddenly disappeared, and the vacated space caused the surrounding water to rush in, making a loud sound of rushing water. Li Mu's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace and climbed to the second floor, under his heavy footsteps, the escalator was almost moaning.

He had a vague feeling as if he was being stared at by something.

Just as he was about to climb to the second floor, a loud bang suddenly came from the bottom of the water, and a long tongue like a python ejected from the bottom.

Li Mu's reaction was extremely fast, and before his body could spin around, the sword in his palm had already slashed towards the long tongue.

As soon as he slashed his tongue, the touch that came back made his heart chuckle, and the toughness of this tongue was far beyond his expectations. The blade of the sword simply cannot cut into the flesh.

The long tongue waited for an opportunity to swing around the steel sword a few times, tightly strangled on Li Mu's arm, and struggled to retract.

An irresistible huge force came along his arm, and Li Mu only felt that he was rushing towards the surface of the water at a rapid speed. And in the depths of the pool, only a pair of blood-red eyes, the size of a fist, could be seen, staring greedily at Li Mu in the air.

At the critical juncture, Li Mu directly threw away the steel sword in his palm and took out the Demon Hunting Sword from the wave particle conversion rune.

A puddle of foul blood, severed tongues flew in the air, the water surface surged violently, and a painful and angry roar came from the bottom of the water.

Li Mu only felt a chill all over his body, and he had already fallen into the water. (To be continued.) )
