Xia Chiyu and the others could only watch as Archer Bruce's body was engulfed in flames, and soon turned into a pile of charcoal on the ground. Except for Xia Chiyu, everyone else seemed a little inexplicable, because they didn't know who Archer Bruce was. In their opinion, it was just a madman who suddenly went crazy.

"What is this person doing, inexplicable." Liu Yiyu frowned and said.

"Infected by the Plague of Corruption, right?" Zhang Zinuo said with some sympathy, "It's really pitiful to finally lose my mind." ”

"He's the greatest doctor of the dwarves, and he's here to investigate the corrupting plague." Xia Chiyu explained, "But even though he was infected, he still retained this kind of sanity, presumably because of his extraordinary willpower, right?" ”

"It turns out that he is such a great person...... "Pepe covered her mouth and sighed, Nadya folded her hands and bowed: "I'm really sorry to think you were crazy just now, don't worry, we will definitely fulfill your last wish for you." ”

Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly, then opened Archer Bruce's investigation diary and began to read it.

The first half of Archerbruce's diary seems relatively normal, about the investigation of the plague in the Pit of the Abyss and the road map, but in the second half, from the time Archer Bruce is infected, his diary becomes more and more crazy. However, when he first became infected, the dwarven doctor recorded some of the symptoms of the infection.

And through the first perspective, the symptoms of the onset of the plague are recorded in detail, but these are not important information, the important information is how Archer Bruce arrived at the outbreak point of the plague in the "Forbidden Lands".

The diary details Archerbrus's methods of dealing with creatures in his path, as well as the items he used to deal with those creatures. Dwarves possess not only great brute strength, but also shrewd minds and exquisite craftsmanship.

Dr. Archerbruce, for example, isn't a good fighter himself, but he can use technology to create things that creatures hate, such as sound, temperature, and light, to keep them away.

And the tricks and technology to deal with those creatures are all in Archer Bruce's tent. Thereupon. Xia Chiyu and the others wandered around Archer Bruce's camp, looking for tools to use.

"It's rude to rummage through your stuff like this, but it's also for the sake of the dwarves, and I'm sure you'll understand me." Nadya clasped her hands together in front of Archer Bruce's body and whispered.

Xia Chiyu was very sure that if he hadn't investigated Archer Bruce's materials in the library before, and then called out his name here, this plot would definitely not have been triggered.

That way, they wouldn't be able to get hold of Archer Bruce's diary, and they didn't know what to do with the creatures that appeared next. But now, with ample tools and detailed ways to deal with monsters, moving forward is much easier. They avoided most of the monsters along the way. The few who remained were largely unfazed by them.

On the way, because of Archer Bruce's diary, Xia Chiyu could also make it easier, follow the team to make soy sauce, and by the way, read the doctor's diary in detail. The key content is later.

After being infected, Archer Bruce learns that he has no hope anymore and intensifies his investigation. He has the advantage of being infected by the Corrupt Plague, so that other infected creatures will not attack him. So Archer Bruce did a lot of research in the later stages. A lot of valuable information was also recorded.

And Archerbrus's investigation point is mainly focused on the second layer of the Abyssal Pit, the first layer of the Abyssal Pit is no longer full of minerals, so the dwarves developed the second layer of the Abyssal Pit, but this second layer is also closer to the underground "Forbidden Land". The creatures of the second layer are more ferocious than the first layer, and Xia Chiyu and the others can't avoid it.

Because after reaching this level, Archer Bruce will no longer be attacked by the creatures here due to being infected. The creatures that survive on the second level of the Pit of the Abyss possess an unusually sensitive sense. They knew very well that the creature in front of them was infected by the Corrupt Plague and could no longer be used as "food", so Archer Bruce did not record how to deal with the monsters of the second layer.

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Xia Chiyu sighed and said.

"Hmph. It's better that way, what's the point of just walking along the way? Gu Qinyan said angrily.

"Then you go fight monsters, I'm going to keep watching this thing." Xia Chiyu said, continuing to flip through the diary.

After being infected, Archer Bruce began to develop symptoms of fever on the first day, with his body temperature rising further, and then the next day the wound began to secrete red putref and he was unconscious. However, in this diary, when Archerbruce's consciousness is corrupted, he repeatedly mentions that he can hear "it" in his head, beckoning him to go to "it".

Xia Chiyu didn't know if this was a figure of speech to describe Archer Bruce as he was gradually losing his mind, or if he was really summoned by some kind of creature. Still, Archer Bruce did his best to resist the feeling of madness.

It was this strong willpower that helped him overcome this madness, and of course it could also be that Archer Bruce himself had fallen into a state of madness in order to investigate the corrupting plague, so he was less affected.

Later in the diary, Archer Bruce began to show doubts. There were many infected creatures and dwarves, but few prowlers appeared, and Archerbrus wondered where they had gone.

It is true that some of the prowlers have been purged, but the infected creatures are far more than the dwarves, and where are the other infected creatures hiding, why have they never been seen?

"Hmm......" Xia Chiyu held his chin and frowned, considering the question asked by the doctor.

At this moment, a downward slope appeared in front of them, and they were about to enter the second level of the Abyss Pit.

However, at the entrance of the mine in front of him, the hanging stalactites are like sharp teeth, and the entrance of the mine is decorated like a bloody mouth, and the black cave makes people look a little creepy.

Liu Yiyu then operated the excavation robot to wave his arms, swept off the stalactites blocking the way, and then began to go down. A dull roar sounded from below, and the cavern shook slightly, and a little rubble fell overhead.

But this is just some kind of warning, reminding them that they have entered the danger zone and that more powerful monsters will appear next.

After losing the Lava Core, the second layer of the Abyssal Pit below is even more dangerous. Not only is it pitch black, but there is no lighting at all. On top of that, all the devices that could be used here as defenses have also failed.

Xia Chiyu had read the records in the information before, the monsters on the second layer of the Abyss Pit were extremely fierce, if it weren't for the fact that some minerals had been exhausted on the first floor, and there were many rare gems produced on the second floor, the dwarves would not have come to the second layer. Therefore, they set up a lot of city defense weapons similar to bunkers on the second layer of the pit of the abyss to fight against these monsters.

However, after the Lava Core was taken away by the Prince, these weapons could not be used, and the second layer of the Abyss Pit became a forbidden place. Xia Chiyu knew that it would not be easy from here, so he put away his diary. He took the lead and stepped into the second level of the Pit of the Abyss. A cold wind suddenly came to his face, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

They turned on the searchlight on the digging robot, but the moment they turned on the light, they found that there was a strange giant snake standing in front of them, this giant snake was entrenched at the entrance of the second layer of the Abyss Pit, and it was forty or fifty meters long in size, and its body diameter was more than five meters. It has only one eye on its head, but it has a pair of lizard-like front paws on its body, and the scales on its body glow a deep purple glow.

Now. The serpent's one-eyed eyes were staring at them, the whites of the red eyes and the pure black pupils, cold and numb, without any emotion. However, it is precisely this that makes people shudder even more.

This situation frightened Liu Yiyu and the others to scream, and Xia Chiyu himself was also startled, after all, the lights had just been turned on. Anyone would be frightened by the appearance of such a terrifying creature staring at him. But the serpent didn't seem interested in them, apparently hating the glare from the digging robots. As soon as the light appeared, its pupils contracted violently.

After looking at them for a moment, the serpent turned around and seemed ready to leave.

"Great, it looks like it's leaving." Lin Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How to fight this kind of thing." ”

However, the giant serpent turned around as a pretense, and it swept over with a flick of its tail.

Seeing this, Xia Chiyu, Gu Qinyan and Nadya reacted in time and immediately released their defensive skills.

The tail sweep of the big snake instantly shattered Nadya's ice wall, and then swept on Xia Chiyu's spiritual force field, and in an instant, Xia Chiyu's spiritual force field cracked, slowing down the advance of this blow slightly, and then it broke, Gu Qinyan's crossed double swords prevented this blow, but it was also swept back quickly.

Seeing this, Nadya hurriedly raised her hand, and two ice thorns rose from the ground and slammed into the tail of the big snake; And Xia Chiyu also waved his hand to summon a few stone pillars to help Gu Qinyan ease this wave of pressure, and finally blocked the blow of the big snake.

Seeing that he hadn't knocked them down, the serpent quickly moved forward and disappeared into the tunnel ahead.

"This guy ......," Gu Qinyan frowned, "It's actually a ninety-level elite monster." ”

"Demon Orochi?" Xia Chiyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "For this size, the speed is really ......"

Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu stopped abruptly, he pricked up his ears and was silent. Nadya immediately became vigilant, and everyone also noticed that something was wrong, and a low rumble sounded from behind them, with a slight gust of wind......

"It's coming from behind." Gu Qinyan turned his head to look, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose from the bottom of Xia Chiyu's heart: "You say, could the demon snake not be to attack us, but to escape from some kind of creature?" ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, then ran forward at full speed, increasing the speed of the digging robot to its maximum speed.

Soon, the roar behind him became louder and louder, and then a huge shadow emerged from behind.

"What is it!?" Xia Chiyu turned to Gu Qinyan and asked, he didn't have time to turn his head to look, because from the vibration and roar behind him, it was inferred that the thing was rapidly approaching them, and now turning his head and reducing his speed was simply looking for death. In fact, the most terrifying thing about slowing down at this time is not the fear of being caught up by the creatures behind you, but the fear of being left alone from others.

As the saying goes, when you encounter a tiger together, you don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to be faster than the other person, so at this time, everyone's psychology is to be faster than others, at least, not to run slower than others......

Therefore, Gu Qinyan replied lightly: "I don't know! I don't have time to see it! ”

Pepe, who was sitting on the digging robot, glanced back and suddenly screamed and stopped talking. Gu Qinyan said angrily: "Don't scream. Let's talk about what I saw! ”

"Big bug!" Pepe covered his eyes and said, patting the excavator and saying, "Run faster, you're going to be caught up!" ”

"Alas......" Xia Chiyu sighed helplessly, then summoned the Hurricane Eagle, jumped up with Gu Qinyan, and blessed the Hurricane Sculpture with the Gale Technique, and then glanced back. It wasn't a bug, to be precise, but a flytrap-like creature, with two large mouths opening and closing frantically, devouring everything that passed by. Chased after them.

"I've seen a picture of this thing in my diary!" Xia Chiyu clicked on Archer Bruce's diary, "This thing is called Hell Apollo, it is a carnivorous plant, its activity is periodic, and it will hunt on a fixed trajectory every once in a while, devouring all the creatures along its path. And the track of the Abyssal Pit was excavated based on its path of activity......"

"Do you think these are useful! How to deal with it!? Gu Qinyan asked angrily.

"Uh...... Avoid it during its hunting season. Due to the shaking as he moved forward, Xia Chiyu had to squint his eyes to see, "There is no other way, this monster has an incomparably tough shell." And it can regenerate quickly, and it is impossible to hurt it with a normal attack. Even the Demon Serpent can only be reduced to its food. ”

"Hmph, I can't say anything if I don't hurt in front of me......" Gu Qinyan snorted coldly, and set up a posture on the back of the hurricane eagle.

"You guy. Shouldn't you be ready to ......" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Fate and fortune ......" Gu Qinyan whispered, raised his right hand, and a delicate long sword appeared: "The established destiny." ”

Immediately, Gu Qinyan raised his left hand, and another slightly shorter thin sword was held by him: "Undetermined Heavenly Fortune ......"

These two swords are exquisite. Like a sword and a sword, the surrounding brilliance is constantly changing like an aurora. After opening the domain skills, Gu Qinyan held two swords in his hands. He jumped up, greeted the Hell Apollo behind him, inserted his double swords into the scabbard in mid-air, and put up a posture of drawing the sword, and said in a low voice: "Juhe, ten thousand Buddhas live in ......"

As he spoke, Gu Qinyan shouted, his swords danced, and a slash with the word "swastika" emerged from Apollo of Hell. Xia Chiyu knew that Gu Qinyan's attack would definitely work, because Gu Qinyan's domain law was to "cut everything".

Sure enough, four lines of blood erupted from Hell Apollo's body, and the red and green liquid spurted out, and Hell Apollo's body instantly wilted and fell to the ground, but due to inertia, he still rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. However, at this moment, its mouth was closed, so if Xia Chiyu and the others were against the wall, they could still leave a little space to dodge.

So, everyone stuck to the wall in unison, letting the huge body of Hell Apollo pass by them, and then slammed headfirst into the mountain wall in front of them around the corner. "Boom!" With a loud bang, Hell Apollo directly crashed through this mountain wall, and then slowly stopped, and his body began to gradually wither.

"Whew, it's dangerous...... Xia Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, this thing's health value is unexpectedly very small." ”

Although Hell Apollo has a high defense, he actually doesn't have much health, otherwise he wouldn't have been killed by Gu Qinyan with one blow. Although Gu Qinyan's "fate and fortune" is said to cut off everything, in fact, it is just "ignoring defense".

Despite this, this law still provided Gu Qinyan with an extremely high damage bonus. Regardless of the player's PVP, wild monsters have more than 70% damage reduction, ordinary monsters are 70%, elite monsters are 75%, boss monsters are 80%, and boss-level monsters are 85%.

Although it lacks the instantaneous burst damage of Xia Chiyu's domain skill, Gu Qinyan's domain skill is a continuous high output.

"Eat fish!" At this time, Liu Yiyu on the excavator waved his little hand to Xia Chiyu, "Look at it!" ”

Xia Chiyu leaned over to take a look and found that the lava heart on the excavator body was emitting a dazzling light at this time, brighter than before. His heart beat faster: it meant they were close to the core of the lava!

"I remember you saying that the Lava Core was taken away by the infected prince, right?" Gu Qinyan turned to Xia Chiyu and asked, "Why does it appear in such a place?" ”

"I don't know." Xia Chiyu shook his head, but Gu Qinyan's question reminded him of Dr. Archerbrus's question: Where have all the infected people gone with such a large number?

From the point of the lava heart on the excavator, the lava core appears to be located in the gap ahead that was knocked open by the Inferno Apollo. So everyone leaned against the wall and began to move forward, and the demonic serpent had already escaped by pulling the gap where Apollo of Hell was stopped, so they didn't need to worry at this time, and went directly into the cave.

However, none of them expected what kind of Shura hell awaited them.

In the cave in front of him, there was an incomparably huge humanoid creature. Although it is a humanoid creature, it has been completely distorted. This thing is a bit like the librarian Mogetu that Xia Chiyu met before, like a huge, ugly, extremely fat baby, with pale skin, but the body is even bigger, more than five or six meters tall, and the body is more distorted.

Its body and legs were immobilized by some kind of device, except for its short fat arms still waving blindly, with its head tilted, and a pipe stuck in its mouth that went directly into its throat, and the pipe was still forcibly instilling some kind of black-red fluid into its body, and the creature's abdomen was so swollen that it was about to explode, almost taking up two-thirds of its massive body. However, several other tubes were attached to its abdomen, and other bright red fluid was transported from its body.

The creature's expression looked extremely painful, and it rolled its eyes as if it was about to burst.

But despite this, it is alive. Xia Chiyu saw at a glance that the creature was constantly waving in his hand, and he was also holding a small disc. The disc had a peculiar shape, like a flowing magma, but it was solid. You don't have to guess Xia Chiyu to know that this thing must be the core of lava.

At this moment, the lava core and the lava heart on the digging robot resonated, and after a low sound, it fell completely silent.

"So, this person is the prince of the dwarven clan, Black Iron? Garter II? Xia Chiyu said to himself in surprise, and then looked at the situation around here, "But, why is he here......"

These devices are clearly artificially made, and they are definitely not purely natural. Therefore, Xia Chiyu followed this pipe to find it. And Gu Qinyan lightly waved the established destiny of his right hand, and the left hand of Jiade II holding the core of lava was cut off by Qi Gen and fell to the ground, Gu Qinyan stepped forward and picked up the core of lava, and said lightly: "It's done." ”

"Hey! What are you doing! Nadya frowned, her eyes widened and she asked, "Everyone is already like this, how can you still cut off someone's hand!" How pitiful! ”

Gu Qinyan's expression was a little innocent, but Yuxi glared at him sternly, and Gu Qinyan had no choice but to roll his eyes.

"I think we should let him go now." Xia Chiyu replied lightly, with a solemn expression: "I already understand what this is...... I also understand what the hell the demons can get. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Xia Chiyu, Xia Chiyu looked up, raised his hand to adjust the direction of the searchlight on the chest of the person who raised it to the top, so that everyone could see the situation of the devices above.

"This is a 'petri dish' of disease," Xia Chiyu said lightly, "No matter who did it, but that person is using dwarves as experiments to cultivate diseases like the corrupt plague." Of course, I guess their purpose was to destroy the prosperity of the dwarves. Moreover, I think it should have something to do with the demons......"

"Wouldn't it!? This is also the ghost of the demons? Zhang Zinuo asked in surprise, "But ......?"

"On the elven side, Lacey and I have encountered a similar situation, that kind of magic is a little too weird, and it can directly fuse the bodies of the three elves together." Xia Chiyu frowned and pointed upward, "However, after looking at this device, I realized that it might not be magic, but a 'disease reaction'." (To be continued.) )
