Back in the underworld, Li Ben remembered that he had originally planned to go to the cave to find an exit in another direction, but this matter was put on hold after encountering the ruins of the tribe.

Now that his search for a way out in the outside world was fruitless, he planned to delve deeper into that strange place again, believing that those air currents did not come out of thin air.

In addition to the underwater passage, there are two other hidden exits in the ruins, and the rock formations around the exits are carved with runes to block the inner and outer breaths, but these runes have long since failed.

The next day, he cautiously explored the paths hewn by his predecessors, and the glowing crystals on the rock walls around these passages were denser than those he had walked before, but he brought a portable kerosene lamp with him just in case.

These roads initially continued to extend deeper underground, but after a certain distance, they began to point upwards again. After some time, Lee Ben successfully climbed the difficult terrain and drilled his way up the slope through a hole covered by fallen thick tree trunks and turf and dirt.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the damp earth and dripping green leaves indicated that there had indeed been a rain last night.

This place is different from the dead wood forest where Li Ben used to be, and it is full of greenery and shows prosperity and vitality.

"30%..."The hunter frowned.

Although the environment seems to be warm and harmonious, the frightening erosion is not relaxing in any way, and it is about 5% higher than the dead forest.

Lee Ben left the kerosene lamp under the entrance of the cave and pulled out the victim from behind in case of an unknown surprise attack.

The crisis sensing ability does not have any feedback, which does not mean that you are really safe enough, because any ability has a limit, since the prophetic ability of the underground tribe has failed, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not have the same experience.

After two hours of wandering in the woods, he heard unusually fierce roars and fights.

He judged that it was most likely a battle between Chaos creatures, and strangely enough, there was little feedback from the Crisis Sensing ability.

Li Ben felt that if he remained so hesitant, it would be difficult for things to progress, so he followed his inner curiosity and approached cautiously in that direction.

He climbed up the tall tree and looked out from afar, where he saw two specks crashing into each other, their aftermath of the battle shattering the surrounding trees, revealing their appearance.

One is a hairless, flesh-colored giant orangutan-looking creature that is estimated to be about eight meters tall based on the surrounding trees. There are one or two thick bone spurs protruding from the joints of its body, and the muscles of its limbs are full of terrifying explosive power, and Li Ben on the tree more than 200 meters away can faintly feel the tremor coming from below.

The creature is fought against a multi-tentacled monster capable of surging underground, and the dirt is like sea to it. Li Ben learned about it from this mythology, and people generally called it the Earth Dragon.

Each of its tentacles is like the deep roots of an ancient tree, its skin is rough and tough, and at the same time, it is extremely powerful and flexible, ordinary boulders will be shattered by its blows, and the threat to humans is not weaker than that of the strange bird Flamin, and it is also ranked as level six among the chaos creatures.

In the Chaos Induction, they appear as two thick black masses, while on the flesh ape's body, there is a bright red spot of light. The two of them fought over that thing.

It stands to reason that there is such a thing around, and Li Ben's crisis sense should have stimulated him a long time ago and urged him to stay away.

Could it be...

Li Ben looked at the victim in his hand, tried to stab the sword into the trunk of the tree, and then let go.

A chill erupted in his veins, stabbing him with a burst of excitement.

The Crisis Sensing ability is in effect... There are two explanations, one is that the sword itself blocks one's abilities, and the other is that when one holds the sword, those creatures are no longer a threat to themselves...

The second conjecture is too whimsical! Even if there is anything special about this sword, it is by no means enough to contend with those mythical beings.

Of course, Li Ben would not directly rush up with his sword to fight those monsters to prove his guess, but he would not be willing to be so unclear, especially the red dot as the culprit aroused his strong curiosity.

The best choice at the moment is naturally to wait, and when those two powerful chaos creatures are defeated, they will step forward to pick up the leak, and at that time, even if there is an accident, there will be a certain chance of escape.

However, their vitality obviously far exceeded the other party's expectations, fighting from morning to night, destroying tens of thousands of square meters of flowers and trees, and the earth was also peeled off by the earth dragon.

Li Ben saw with his own eyes that the head of the meat ape was torn off by the earth dragon, but after several battles for its body, it was reinstalled, and the ferocious blows of those gold-shattering stones only left Dao blood marks on its body, and these seemingly terrifying blood marks often healed in a few seconds.

The Earth Dragon, on the other hand, has the advantage of its flexibility underground, and after a few rounds of fighting, it will hide, and then appear from somewhere to sneak up on the meat ape. Its tentacles seemed endless, and even after being broken by the meat ape for hundreds of them, there was still a dense large patch.

Human beings have no chance of winning in the face of such monsters! This is the first time that Li Ben has seen this level of battle directly after seeing it.

Even if humans had the means to kill them, if they couldn't kill them with a single blow, no one would be able to withstand a counterattack from the monsters later.

He tried to think of using the thermal weapons of his original world to deal with this kind of monster, and if he wanted to avoid casualties, he would have to use the dense firepower of over-the-horizon attacks to cover it.

However, these monsters are not the most powerful and terrifying in this world, they are only a small part of the dust in the endless chaos.

Once he realized this, Li Ben could personally understand the general sense of despair of human beings in this world, and he could understand a little bit why Andre would be willing to die for the sake of that inexplicable fragment of fate, and entrust the future to a person from another world.

Who would want to take a risk if they weren't cornered?

Another period of time has passed, and the battle of the monsters has finally come to an end.

The earth dragon's thick tentacles stabbed through the wounds of the meat ape, which had significantly reduced its resilience, one after the other, as if intending to use the tentacles to obliterate it from within.

The weakened ape struggled helplessly and wailed, and was about to die.

But in a chaotic world, you can never guess what will happen in the next moment...

When most of the tentacles were clinging, the meat ape suddenly rose up and exerted its strength, and the muscles of its whole body tensed, restricting the tentacles that stretched into its body, so that the earth dragon could not get out.

Then, with a deafening roar, it pulled the dragon out of the earth, revealing its full echinoderm-like appearance.

All of the dragon's tentacles were connected to a core ball of flesh that looked like a brain, and the ape unceremoniously opened its sharp teeth to gnaw at its vital points.

The creature is not to be underestimated, and the earth dragon also understands that now is the most critical moment, as long as it can survive the battle of the trapped beasts of the meat ape, it is itself that wins.

The earth dragon took the initiative to send tentacles to the ape's mouth, and tried to rip off its head again, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

This violent and savage battle went to the final crazy moment.

Red and green blood spurted out of their bodies, and such a huge movement could scare away many weak people, but it would also attract some strong ones.

In the distance, two more battles broke out.

Li Ben instinctively wanted to walk away now, but desire made him hesitate.

Do you just go back empty-handed? Whenever you run into these things, you just think about running away? That will fall into an endless loop, and escaping will not solve the problem!

There is no good thing that can be harvested without risk, in this crisis-ridden world, refuse to take risks, you can only stand still, lose the opportunity to grow, and when the crisis comes to you, you will have no power to fight back!

"If you go on like this, you won't be able to go home..."

Hunters in the dark look up at the sky, the starry sky here is far from their hometown, and the magnificent nebula can be seen directly with the naked eye.

"It's beautiful... Unfortunately, this was never my home..."

The shouts of the meat ape gradually faded, and Lee, who was concentrating, could have heard a thick gasp. In the chaos induction, another chaotic mass was lying on top of the meat ape, and its chaotic aura was rapidly fading.

It seems that the Earth Dragon lost.

Li Ben did not hesitate any longer, and jumped forward quickly among the treetops, the sword in his hand shielded the crisis sense, which was equivalent to giving him a kind of fearless courage of an ignorant person in disguise.

It was only then that he realized the true meaning of the victims.

No matter how difficult and difficult the future is, whether it is for ourselves or for all mankind, if we want to open up a way forward, we must know that the mountain has a tiger bias and a fearless heart for the tiger.

This courage is absolutely indispensable.

I've been too cautious all along... It's better to be timid.

In retrospect, humans in this world have always had a feeling of being frightened, even Jeffrey, who taught himself the skills of hunters.

I remember asking Maria of the Navigator if she thinks that human beings have faith, and the answer is no, but I guess there is also the effect of lack of courage...

It's close!

Li Ben held his breath.

The huge ape-like creature appeared as far as the eye could see, and the mountain-like physique alone put a lot of pressure on people.

Hunters deal with monsters,Generally avoid close combat,If there is a special need,Try to use a sneak attack to kill with one hit,The main reason is that even Chaos Hunters,It's difficult to withstand the monsters' counterattacks。

And the monsters attack in a variety of ways.,There's always a move you can't think of.,So no one has summed up the combat experience that can be regarded as a universal skill.。

The only hardcore requirement is to have sharp reflexes and explosive speed and power.

The meat ape was not dead, and its chaotic power did not dissipate like an earth dragon in Li Ben's chaotic perception. But it fell to the ground and didn't move.

It seems that the tentacles that pierced its body, and the exhausted meat ape didn't have enough strength to deal with the rigid tentacles. Li Ben guessed.

You should find a way to deal it with a fatal blow.

The hunter held the sword in both hands and went around behind the ape's side head, trying to bleed it with the sword.

The head bigger than the whole person turned, the flesh ape's blood-red eyes glared angrily, and when he opened his mouth, there was a fierce howl, and the fishy saliva and the brains of the earth dragon flew down the strong air flow on Li himself, causing him to be blown back more than ten meters like a dead leaf in the wind, and those disgusting juices made him even more embarrassed.

There is no doubt that the huge mouth on the ugly face of the meat ape can swallow a person in one bite, but at this time, Li Ben is not worried.

Its menacing roar just shows that it is already a strong crossbow, and in addition to scare, even ant-like creatures like humans cannot be decisively erased.

Hunters have to hunt, and those who are prey do not deserve this name.

He stood up and made a detour to the top of the ape's head.

Now the monster could only howl into the air.

With all his strength, Li Ben stabbed the victim into the monster's skull, submerging the entire sword body, and then stirred mercilessly.

At first, the meat ape struggled to raise its head and shake its head, pulling the human who was clutching the hilt of the sword to jump up and down. Soon, however, it also came to an end.

The hunter felt the sword pulsate in his hand, and it was devouring something inside the monster.

Li Ben let go of it for the time being, guarding his surroundings with a crisis sense, he was now going to see what the red light on the meat ape's chest was under the chaos sense.

Jumping on its corpse, the tenacious tentacles of the earth dragon were clinging to the meat ape, and the core meat ball was bitten off by it, and the eyes were full of green juice, but the smell was not fishy.

The trouble was that the corpse of the earth dragon was just blocking the chest of the meat ape, and Li Ben could only lie down and drill in through the gap in the tentacles.

After a lot of effort, he finally saw the red dot for what it really was.

It was a thumb-thick stone, pure white on one side and pure black on the other. It is as if two forces are formed in a delicate balance.

At the first sight of it, Li Ben felt a kind of intoxication and longing, and this temptation pointed directly at his soul.

Unable to resist, reason could not stop his recklessness in time, and the hunter became a prey to be tempted by bait.

He grabbed the stone and swallowed it at once.

Lee Ben felt like he was falling down, and the world was spinning. He collapsed between the stiff tentacles.

The sea hung upside down, and huge tentacled creatures floated in the air, their ancient and melodious songs that filled the world with ethereal echoes.

This feeling... I've encountered it before... It was the whale song of the deep sea... So here it is...

Before he could think about it, the songs suddenly became magical, like whispers, washing away his will.

Li Ben felt chaotic right now, like a person who had just woken up.

The true meaning of the singing became understandable to him.

In a staccato moment, he heard, "Devotion to the great Most High God... Be a part of God... Servant... Eternity..."

"It's impossible for a normal person to understand those words, chaos is eroding the soul!"

Li Ben woke up from the environment, the victim floated in the air, and the tip of the sword pierced his eyebrows slightly. The power of chaos erosion is being drained from it.

There is no doubt that this sword saved itself.

"What the hell is that black and white stone?" he said, regaining his grip on the sword, feeling the changes in his body.

"Why does it feel so crowded? But I didn't feel anything wrong. ”

He moved his body again, and his strength did not increase or decrease significantly.

"It's curiosity that kills cats. Li Ben thought of the danger just now, and it was obviously because of a powerful mental manipulation that he would rashly eat something of unknown origin.

He pressed his stomach and didn't feel anything special.

"Anyway, it's time to go. ”

By putting the victim in the sword box, he was able to regain his sense of crisis, and with this, Li Ben rushed to the entrance of the cave along the same road.

No! No! No!

When he was about to reach the starting point, he stopped, and the entrance to the cave was not far in front of him.

"Goo-rumh..."Li Ben swallowed, his whole body stiffened.

The last time he had this reaction was when Gluttony appeared around him, but this time, there was nothing around, and the source of the threat he felt extremely frightened was the hole he walked out of.

Not only the entrance of the cave, but from this place, it was connected left and right, and a huge chaotic mass that was so huge that it exceeded the limits of its perception was around him.

The essence of this chaos is underground, and from the perspective of hunter perception, the extremely dense blackness is the manifestation of its core, and the entire thousands of kilometers of mountains are all shrouded in its aura.

"Gross..."

Leeben's stomach spasmed, a physiological reaction after the creature had been terrified to the extreme.

"I see... For no other reason than it must be... It has to be it!"

The root of all tragedy comes from the unknown underground.

"Why do you find out now? That stone... It's not useless, except for the deadly erosion, it's like those hedrons in the ground, it can increase the power of my soul..."Li Ben muttered to himself.

"Everything makes sense!"

He felt his brain tremble.

Combining all the clues before and after and the facts in front of him, Li Ben had the answer.

Why weren't the hedrons discovered in the first place?Why did such powerful monsters come to this place?Why can't even the power of the gods reach the underground caverns?... The reason for everything comes from the existence in the underground and from its will!

"It must be in some kind of state of not being able to move freely, and the stone it just ate is its greatest means of attracting many chaos monsters, maybe those crystals and this mountain range are all seals that suppress it. ”

"A similar method has been mentioned in the Seal Science of the Hunter Course, but if this exists, there must be thousands of anchors to seal it, and the destruction of the tribe, and the reason for the sudden rise of Chaos, must be because it is a seal anchor. ”

"The key to this is the mining of spars..."

Leeben's inference is summarized:

The god-like and incomparably chaotic presence beneath the ground is sealed by the mountains, and the glowing hedrons in the caverns are the pressure relief valves that control their power. However, the being somehow deceived the Explorer's mind, and it is even possible that the Explorer had already been controlled by it, so the Navigator Organization did not mention the existence of the hedron when it reported back to the Navigator Order.

The guided tribe lived on the anchor of the seal, and after discovering the miraculous effects of the hedrons, they mined a lot of them, causing that place to become a breakthrough in the power of the sealed... Without the dedication of the Prophet to perish, the inhabitants who have been corrupted and manipulated will continue to dig for hedrons... However, such a magnificent sealing project was obviously not something that one or two hundred humans could break before their lives died.

The slightest power that leaked out of it actively condensed into the black and white stone with extremely tempting power that Li Ben had taken, so as to attract more powerful chaotic creatures, and once these creatures really ate the stone, while gaining power, they would also be manipulated by the will of the existence underground and become its eternal slave.

The reason why the monsters did not enter the underground cave must have been blocked by the power of the seal, and only the slaves who ate the black and white stone and obtained the blessing of the special power from it had the opportunity to get close to the sealed place.

"You have to go! If you stay here, you will definitely die!" Li Ben gritted his teeth.
