Chen Pingping has never believed in luck.

He felt that whether it was good luck or bad luck, there was always a reason.

Like now.

The nearest monster lair to Gangnam Base City is codenamed "Dark", located in the southeast of Gangnam Base City, about 300 kilometers, which is the reason why the east and south of the city are attacked by monsters frequently.

But even so, according to this distance, even if there are not many high-grade monsters in the west and north of the city, first- and second-grade monsters should still be very common, and there should be many of them.

In fact, the monsters of the first and second grades are not divided into regions at all, they should be everywhere, even if there are warriors who go out of the city to hunt, it is impossible to empty the monsters to this extent.

It's really that there are fewer people and fewer monsters, and there are almost no monsters in sight!

Combined with the monster siege not long after, Chen Pingping felt that there might really be a big problem here.

Keep digging deeper.

After walking about another twenty kilometers, Chen Pingping saw a high-rise building in the distance.

Of course, it is the high-rise buildings of the previous peaceful era, the original site was the ancient Nanjing urban area, which has long been abandoned at this moment, and there are no roads and streets in sight, and there are vegetation everywhere, and even a lot of towering giant trees have appeared, which are taller than the high-rise buildings.

I have to say that the evaporation material of the blood sea is really magical, not only breeding monsters, promoting the degradation of the human body, after integrating into the earth's ecosystem, all kinds of animals and plants on the earth have also been affected a lot, all kinds of strange mutated creatures are frequent, towering giant trees are commonplace, and even the primeval jungle that was only available in Southeast Asia in the past has gradually appeared in the inland areas.

Of course, the urban area of ancient Nanjing was originally a lively metropolis, and the water source was not so abundant, so there was no primitive jungle landform, and it was more like an abandoned city embedded in the forest.

Compared with the terrifying defense that the monster's bullets can't penetrate, although the mutant creatures look hideous, their combat effectiveness is not strong, let alone martial artists, even ordinary people today, they can deal with it with a little cultivation of ancient martial arts.

Chen Pingping's journey deepened, and he didn't encounter monsters, but he encountered many mutated creatures, including giant pythons with skulls and feet, tigers with sharp teeth, and mutated pet dogs as big as calves.

For these mutant creatures, he didn't need to use his internal strength at all, and the alloy knife slashed at all, and there was no enemy at all, except for the mutated pet dog that was docile and not very aggressive, and the others were all beheaded.

Gu Wu's "Crazy Knife" is his famous skill, known for his speed, at the peak, with internal strength can even reach a second of 100 knives, at this moment, even if you don't use internal strength, you can also reach the level of 5 to 8 knives in a second, dealing with a small number of mutant creatures, it is naturally easy and pleasant!

However, Chen Pingping's expression became more and more solemn.

He felt very wrong!

There are no warriors, no monsters, can they travel to other different dimensions?

Hell yes!

Unfortunately, there was no one who could answer his doubts at the moment, so he could only move on.

Anyway, the monster siege two months later started from the west of the city, and if you go west, you will definitely find clues.

Speaking of which, these things are actually a good thing, if everything is as usual, for him who is investigating this time, he is blind.

With such thoughts, Chen Pingping calmed down, adjusted his mentality, and continued to walk towards the ancient city of Nanjing.

Ten minutes passed.

There was a sudden noise in front of him, and Chen Pingping looked at the voice with a happy expression.

Finally found the same kind!

Those were two warriors who were running quickly in the direction where he was, looking at the weapons and equipment and running speed, at most two realms.

After quickly judging the strength of these two, Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is only a realm at present, and it is still a new realm, with the actual combat experience of the past few decades and a few ancient martial arts that have penetrated into the bone marrow, and only two second-realm martial artists, he is still confident that he can easily kill, so he is not worried about his safety.

However, when he was just about to step forward to stop the two of them, further behind, a hideous monster with three heads tall quickly attacked him, one claw at a time, directly through the chest, and actually stabbed the two to death!

Clawed monitor lizard, three-rank monster!

With his rich experience, Chen Pingping recognized the type of monster for the first time, and immediately his face changed greatly, and he didn't care about anything else, and quickly retreated.

Although Gu Wu is strong, it needs to be driven by internal strength.

If he reaches the second realm, the number of internal strength is too large, and he even dares to cross the two levels to fight the four-grade monsters, but only one realm, only eight wisps of internal strength, he can only cross the first level to fight the second grade at most, and when he encounters a third-grade monster, it is still the best policy!

Even he didn't dare to come forward to fight, because these eight wisps of internal strength were reserved for driving the body method ancient martial arts at a critical time, and they couldn't be wasted on leapfrogging battles.

Otherwise, even if you really win, if you meet a three-grade monster again while waiting for your internal strength to recover, you won't be able to run away!

He knows very well that this time he came out to investigate to save his life, not to play with his life.

"Huh, didn't chase after you?" After running for a distance, Chen Pingping was a little puzzled.

He could be sure that the clawed monitor lizard had seen him, and even glanced at him.

That's weird.

The monsters below the elite monsters are all unintelligent, as long as they see the target, no matter how big the difference in strength is, they are all brainless attacks, but I didn't expect to retreat back extremely abnormally this time.

"That's interesting......"

"Unless, that thing appeared in this ancient Nanjing City......"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Pingping's heart sank.

"It shouldn't be...... That thing, now there? ”

Thinking of this, Chen Pingping regretted a little that he didn't continue to pay attention to the follow-up situation of the monster siege in Jiangnan Base City due to traumatic avoidance in his previous life.

Yes, after the death of his parents in his previous life, he felt extremely uncomfortable every time he thought of Jiangnan Base City, so he subconsciously avoided all news about Jiangnan Base City.

Now it seems that if it was really what he expected at this moment, maybe the answer was already available in his previous life, but he didn't pay attention to it.

"Consciousness Blood Lake...... So it was so early? Chen Pingping muttered to himself, the expression on his face was mixed.

Generally speaking, the monsters below the elite monsters do not have any intelligence, only endless killing awareness, but in one case, these monsters are intelligent.

To be precise, it's not that monsters are intelligent, it's that they're manipulated by some kind of will.

This is the lake of consciousness blood, a strange life that cannot be traced to its origin, and will appear in any corner of the earth from time to time.

In fact, there is a great deal of controversy in later generations as to whether the lake of consciousness blood can be counted as life.

One side believes that it does not possess any elements that a life should have, except for being able to give some instructions to monsters, it is a blood lake gathered by a rain of blood, without the slightest life characteristics, even if someone really jumps into the blood lake, it will not suffer any damage.

And since the blood rain has all turned into a sea of blood in the four oceans, it is a very normal rain, and there is nothing special.

Interestingly, in order to explore the secrets of the Consciousness Blood Lake, the Federation even built a large artificial lake, and when the blood rain gathered, it wanted to artificially create a consciousness blood lake, but it always ended in failure, and hundreds of attempts did not appear even a single consciousness blood lake.

Therefore, the Consciousness Blood Lake, like the Sea of Blood, has always been a mystery until Chen Pingping crosses back.
