498. Underground ruins
In the next journey, as the two of them went deeper, the temperature in the passage became more and more hot. In this process, Ling Li would also be attacked by some fire-attribute insects from time to time, but in order not to make a big move, he always threw these demon insects into the trial space at the first time, trying to avoid fighting.
Fortunately, the level of these insects is below the seventh order, and it seems that those high-level, threatening insects have been eliminated by cult masters or demon clans before.
After walking for about half an hour, the fire attribute energy in the passage was getting stronger and stronger, and at this time, through the insect cave, he could already see a faint red light faintly revealing the adjacent main tunnel, which seemed to be coming to an end.
Ling Li and Yutai Muye sped up their speed, quickly passed through the last section of the passage, and looked at the huge lava space that appeared in front of them, and their faces were suddenly full of shock......
The underground space is very vast, with large crumbling city buildings in front of you, and flaming red lava lakes in the distance, the hot magma bursting in mid-air from time to time, like brilliant fireworks. In the light of the fire, the tall and broken silhouettes of the dilapidated buildings flickered and flickered, like monsters.
This is actually the remains of an ancient city that has been buried deep underground......
Most of the exposed parts of these tall buildings have been broken and collapsed, and the collapsed buildings are exposed with dense steel bars, and there are many severely twisted and deformed metal structure buildings, which can be seen from these buildings, which seem to be a civilization with very advanced technology in ancient times.
In the ruins of this ruined ancient city, there seems to be some small team searching for something among these dilapidated buildings, including humans and demons. Some people held the source energy lamp in their hands and emitted a dim yellow light, which looked like a flickering ghost fire from a distance under the reflection of bright and dark red light......
The entrance to the pit is still above this relic space.
Ling Li and Tantai Muye quietly approached the entrance of the tunnel, looking down on the city below.
The violent crustal movement during the cataclysm also buried many human cities deep underground, but the remains of the city in this space, although most of the buildings have collapsed and become fragmented, the remaining form exudes an ancient vicissitudes of life.
In terms of size, the city is not very large, about a radius of about three kilometers.
Ling Li was a little curious, what were these cult demons looking for here? Obviously, due to the high temperatures, there shouldn't be much left of this ancient ruin.
There will be occasional battles in the ruins, and these people have not completely cleared the creatures inside, and from time to time animals will come out and attack these teams that are digging up the ruins and demolishing the houses.
This situation made Ling Li feel a lot more relieved, and the main energy of these teams seemed to be digging up the ruins, looking for something important, and paying little attention to the situation around them.
It appears that only one team patrols the main tunnel.
There are only more than 70 cultists, demon clans, and aliens who are excavating here, and there is an obvious shortage of manpower.
"Ah......" In front of a building, an evil cultivator suddenly let out a scream and fell to the ground.
Everyone raised their weapons and formed a defensive cordon to avoid another attack.
Ling Li looked from afar, only to see that evil cultivator holding his calf, looking painful, just now, it seemed to be a snake-like animal, attacking him.
Two practitioners who seemed to be healers stepped forward to help their injured accomplice with his wounds.
The little snake was fast, like a red light, and then it flashed away after attacking.
"Be careful, everyone, this snake is poisonous!" One of the cultivators took out a syringe and admonished his companions with an antidote.
Transcendents are physically strong and resistant, and such snake venom does not cause fatal damage.
Even so, the calf of the guy who was attacked was visibly swollen.
Ling Li and Tantai Muye took advantage of the chaos just now to quietly leave the entrance of the tunnel and sneak into the ruins of the city. The flickering red light in the distance reflected by the lava lake, the ravines formed by the collapse of the earth, and the crumbling buildings became the best cover.
Near the center is a tower-shaped building that breaks off from its roots, and it should have been a sightseeing spot before the disaster, and one could have stood on top of it to look down on the city. There are also several tall and dilapidated buildings that have collapsed in half, and may have been as spectacular as this tower in the past, forming the city's landmarks, but now all that remains is ruins.
The prosperity of the past has become the smoke of the past, and as far as the eye can see, only ruins are left everywhere at this time.
Walking among the rubble of the city of the ruins of the underground space and the broken streets full of cracks and collapses, Ling Gravel and Yutai Makino carefully avoided the teams searching through the ruins. Fortunately, most of those people were concentrated in the center of the city, with only three teams on the periphery, plus the light flickering on and off, plus the two of them to hide their tracks and use the collapse and buildings as cover, there was no need to worry about being discovered by their opponents.
As the two of them approached the center of the city, they first entered a building with seven floors left.
This area was supposed to be the most densely populated commercial street in the city, with collapsed buildings and hill-like ruins looming over the city, which should have been more than 100 meters away.
Through the gaps, you can see dozens of evil cultivators and inhumans using various tools, digging and looking for something among the ruins, and the source energy lamps in their hands are shaking, which is very conspicuous.
"What are they looking for?" Ling Li asked, pointing in that direction.
"How do I know? It should be something very important. Makino rolled his eyes.
Ling Li smiled, "I thought the immortal gods were omnipotent and omniscient......
Tantai Makino glared at him, "Only a liar would claim to be omniscient and omnipotent. ”
"Why don't these people look for the location of the tall building, but instead selectively dig up some low buildings, I think there should be something there, right?" Ling Li said, pointing to a ruin that was being excavated by several Inhumans.
The ruins were relatively low-rise buildings in the middle of several buildings, mostly buried in the earth, with only the remnants of two stories outside. The building may have been just over 40 meters high, but it seems that it was originally located in a square, so the ruins of the surrounding high-rise buildings did not bury it.
