In the empty mountain tunnel, Shi Ying was moving forward cautiously, and the sound of slow footsteps could be heard clearly.

The tunnel is dimly lit, dark red as fog, and has very little visibility.

Under the whipping of her master, Qiqi flew in front of her, turning on the light source that came with her body to the maximum power to illuminate her.

But even then, the light could only illuminate a radius of two meters in diameter.

Because it was in the volcano, the surrounding temperature was extremely high, and Shi Ying had to use his spiritual power at all times to resist the scorching heat.

While walking, while running spiritual power, one mind needs two uses, which is extremely energy-consuming.

In this case, her physical strength was also depleted quickly, and she was already dizzy after only walking for about half an hour.

"How long is this tunnel?" Due to the prolonged thirst, Shi Ying's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"I don't know." Qiqi replied weakly, "The map of the inside of the Tower of Babel provided by the system is a minimalist version, and there is no scale bar, so the actual length cannot be calculated at all. ”

Like humans, AI consumes a lot of energy at high temperatures, and it has to maintain maximum light power at all times, and it is almost on the verge of collapse.

"Isn't it?" Shi Ying looked at the map, and sure enough, there was no scale.

What's even more painful is that the whole picture only has a large circle like a cake and a few crooked thin lines.

…… Absolutely.

Why is this also called a map? Let's doodle for elementary school students!

Fortunately, there is no fork in this tunnel, otherwise relying on this extremely abstract broken map, she is afraid that she will not be able to find the location of the lord for the rest of her life.

After walking for a long time, a few bright lights finally came out in front of me.

After solving the lords of the first layer, you can have a good rest.

Thinking of this, Shi Ying was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth also rose.

"Good work." She reached out and grabbed Qiqi, who had run out of oil, and took it back to the AI center.

Although I still can't see my feet clearly, with the light guiding me, there is no problem moving forward.

Thinking about rest in his heart, Shi Ying's pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

However, as soon as she took a few steps, she noticed a hint of strangeness-

The sound of footsteps echoing in the tunnel seemed to be mixed with the sound of rustling from unknown sources.

The sound was so subtle that it would have been hard to spot if it weren't for the echo amplification effect of the tunnel being too empty.

Babbling.

It's like the sound of a reptilian body rubbing against the ground.

Detecting this subtle movement, Shi Ying was vigilant in his heart, and was about to think about how to deal with it, when he stepped on an unknown strip-shaped "object" under his feet.

Before she could react, the strip of "object" shrank sharply.

The thing's body was very smooth and powerful, and it instantly pulled away from Shi Ying's feet, causing her to almost fall.

At the same time, the rustling in the tunnel was a little louder.

If you listen closely, this sound source comes from all directions, and there are quite a few of them.

Judging from the touch just now, the strip-shaped "object" under your feet seems to be a snake......

Thinking that there might be countless snakes around him, Shi Ying couldn't help but feel a chill.

Unable to see anything clearly in the darkness, in order not to become the ration of this unknown creature, Shi Ying immediately turned his steps into a run and rushed towards the outside of the cave.

It's still some distance from the entrance of the cave, and if a group of striped creatures from behind, most likely, snakes, catch up, it's a bit difficult to escape the tunnel unharmed.

Luckily, those things didn't seem to interest her and didn't mean to chase her.

But just in case they were temporary, Shi Ying still didn't dare to delay.

Suddenly, as the light around her lit up, she had managed to break out of the tunnel.

The sudden bright light made Shi Ying couldn't help but squint, and it took a while to get used to it.

When her vision regained again, she was suddenly shocked by the incredible scene in front of her-

Whether it is the top or the surrounding rock wall, as far as the eye can see, there are thick vines everywhere.

And the source of this vine is a huge tree with lush foliage.

The trunk of the tree is a dark orange-red, and the leaves are shaped like maple leaves.

The thick trunk of the tree stood out from the hot magma, but there was no sign of burning.

The steaming heat drives the air circulation, forming a wave of heat, swaying thousands of red leaves on the branches, which is quite spectacular.

PS: The missing person who disappeared for almost a week is finally bubbling Liao~

The reason why it disappeared was because the end of the semester was one after another, and the test was approaching. In addition, the tutor prescribed that I write 120 procedures, but I only wrote half of them, and in order not to be hung up with a red light, I recently asked for liver procedures.

As for the stable update, I will probably have to wait for the summer vacation speaker. Recently, I have been doing the review homework, and I often stay up until three or four o'clock, and I really lack skills (╥_╥).
