Chapter 484: The Visitor
Wu Qi left near the cliff and followed the scent traces left by the purple-haired lion king all the way to find the purple-haired lion king's lair. This is a cave heaven perched on the edge of a cliff. The surrounding rocks are dark gray throughout. The tunnel is 20 meters high and 20 meters wide, and the light from the arc of light on the horizon slightly illuminates the tunnel. The tunnels are full of traces of weathering, and there are also places where the rough and wild claws of the purple-haired lion king remain.
Some lilac translucent crystals can be seen in the high and low parts of the cave wall, which are themselves light sources, and countless faint light sources converge to illuminate the deep cave. There are many mushroom-like plants at the bottom and middle of the cave wall, which grow in the depression or crack of the cave wall, which is umbrella-shaped, flat at the top and thick at the bottom, and the body is white and brown.
Mushroom life is born from decay, and most of the nutrition comes from the blood spilled when the purple-haired lion king hunts prey and eats it, but it is impossible for the purple-haired lion king to splash the blood of his prey on the location of the mushroom all the time. Therefore, Wu Qi deduced that there must be a gap in the rock of this cave wall, and there was probably water flowing in the rock in the depths of the gap.
The lilac crystals distributed on the walls of the cave are very similar to the products of third-order virus alienated minerals, which are estimated to be similar to "Gaussian stones".
Wu Qi thought as he walked and watched, this cave was spacious for the size of the purple-haired lion king, and it could only be described as "extremely huge" for him. Wu Qi walked through the wide passage, and the rock walls in the depths of the cave shimmered with purple crystals, showing a purple-blue color.
The tunnel is only more than 30 meters, and inside is a circular cave. This place is the deepest part of the cave, the height of the top of the cave is more than 30 meters, and the diameter is close to 70 meters.
An overlord of the purple-haired lion king's size could still find a cave that suited his size so much, and his life was estimated to be much more comfortable than he imagined.
"Aside from being too big, there's almost no downside here." Wu Qi said softly.
Wu Qi decided to use this place as his temporary base, and the cave was filled with the smell of the purple-haired lion king, the smell was a natural barrier, which could scare the plague species in the abyss from easily invading here.
Three days went by in a flash. Wu Qi took over the cave of the purple-haired lion king and lived here for three days. For three days, he relied on touching the outside to find a lone second-order plague species to hunt and eat; With the power of atavism, the chaotic abnormal virus in the second-order plague species' body could not cause substantial damage to Wu Qi's digestive system.
There was no fire in the abyss, and the fire prepared in Wu Qi's combat uniform ran out in just one day. In the two days when he couldn't make a fire, Wu Qi ate all raw meat, and after killing the plague seed, he skinned and removed its internal organs, and directly ate meat, which was no different from a wild beast.
Wu Qi was not very resistant when he first ate raw meat, it was not that he couldn't eat raw meat, but this feeling was a little far away from him now; That was still his memory when he was very young, and the ability that Sister Ruoying gave him hard training when he was still by his side. At that time and now, Wu Qi found that he didn't have any physical discomfort for the first time when he ate raw meat, and it was easy for him to overcome it mentally.
With the continuous growth of the atavistic power in the depths of his body, something in Wu Qi's body is subtly changing, Wu Qi can't fully see through his own changes, but from the discovery of eating raw meat, he can begin to spy on one or two.
Atavism made him stronger, and it brought him closer to the roots of the creatures born in the wilderness, and in a way he was getting farther and farther away from "humanity".
Looking at the pile of bones of the bovine plague species in front of him, Wu Qi wiped his bloody lips and used the energy torrent to clean up the blood stains on his hands and face. He's been very skilled at using this energy.
Using the biological clock to calculate the time, Wu Qi calculated that it was the evening of the third day when he fell into the abyss. He walked out of the cave and looked at the pale blue arc that stretched across the sky.
He summed up some of the laws of the abyss. In the early morning and early morning of the human world, the color of the arc of the sky is dark red gradient red, and the arc of the sky in the morning and noon is a bright blazing white. In the evening, late at night, the color of the arc changes to light blue and dark blue; In the middle of the night in the human world, the arc of the abyss is as dark as the sky, and the sky seems to have lost its arc, and the dark earth is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
The color gradient of the arc is equivalent to refracting the light of the human world, but one thing will not change, that is, the bright arc will always be that arc. Even if the arc of the sky will shed all kinds of light, slightly illuminating the black earth, it will never change the fact that the abyss is very dark.
Wu Qi walked out of the entrance of the cave and walked a long way along the dark gray cliff and against the bottom of the cliff. In three days, he did not only observe the environment of the abyss, but also investigated the bottom of the cliff more than 100 kilometers to the left and right. As far as the results of the current investigation are concerned, the cliffs seem to be endless, or the borders of the abyss are the eternal cliffs.
Wu Qi couldn't find a way up the wasteland other than a cliff, there was no such thing as a ladder here, and there was only one way to get back to the wasteland.
Some of the claw marks on the cliff face illustrate this to some extent. In the process of investigating the bottom of the cliff for more than 100 kilometers to the left and right, Wu Qi found many claw marks of plague species. Thinking of the herd of beasts entrenched in the black-gray wasteland, no matter how surprised Wu Qi was, he had to admit the reality that the evidence was referring to.
The frail and crippled beasts of that area had climbed from the abyss to the black-gray wasteland! The black-gray wasteland is equivalent to the boundary arranged on the outside of the entrance to the abyss, and the misty cliff is the "entrance" to the abyss. The plague species in that area are all weak people who have failed to compete in the abyss, and have to escape from the abyss in order to survive in order to escape the hunt of strong enemies.
Since the weakly developed plague species can climb extremely high cliffs, then he Wu Qi must be able to. During these three days, he kept a lot of tendons dug out of the prey. And he picks prey that is strong and healthy, and digs up animal tendons, which are extremely tough and can be used as ropes.
He also made a leather backpack out of animal skins, which could store some meat; A kettle was made out of animal bones, and some water was stored in the rock.
Wu Qi went through the plan in his heart, climbed the misty cliff and returned to the wasteland at the top of the cliff, and joined Guo Baibai, Gao Yuan and others, only to take this step.
Wu Qi inadvertently walked to a familiar place. Bypassing the rock wall jutting outward, Wu Qi saw the silent Ark of the Throne.
The behemoth in front of you is still so magnificent even if it doesn't move, and it feels like a glorified and dilapidated sunken ancient ship.
"Phineas, I can already see the bottom of the cliff!"
"Really? It's been three days, and finally the fuck has arrived. ”
It was human language, a familiar appellation, and the direction of the voice was 20 meters above the fog. Wu Qi was stunned for a moment.
