It was dark inside the crack, but after fusing with the T-virus, Chu Cheng's eyes had night vision, so he could clearly see everything underground.

Since there was only one entrance to and from the underground in the village, and it had been locked for many years, and the key was only owned by the village chief, Chu Cheng had never entered the underground before.

However, the village had organized several underground hunts, so Chu Cheng had also gotten some information about the underground from the adults in the village.

Underneath the ancient ruins, there is a bloody killing field, full of all kinds of terrifying automata, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes!

Chu Cheng had inquired about automatic machinery in some ancient books.

Automatic machinery is an autonomous machine manufactured in the ancient era, which is divided into two types: original automatic machinery and derivative automatic machinery. These automaton ...... It can also be reproduced!

The four walls of the crack were covered with dried blood, and Chu Cheng followed the crack all the way down, only feeling as if he was walking through a huge wound.

At the end of the crack is the roof of a metal walkway.

Chu Cheng jumped into the corridor, and the pungent smell of blood suddenly became even stronger.

Chu Cheng saw that on the ground of the road, there were two corpses lying horizontally, and it was obvious that they were from the village.

Chu Cheng stepped forward to investigate, and he found that the corpse's chest, abdomen, and even face had a large number of criss-crossing scars, giving people a feeling of being riddled with holes. Chu Cheng could even see through these wounds the messy internal organs of the corpse!

"What is it that can make people like this?" Chu Cheng glanced around and soon found a fluorescent mark not far from the corpse.

"This is a common fluorescent potion used by the people in the village." Chu Cheng had heard from the law enforcement team that the underground environment could not help but be dangerous, and it was complicated, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you would get lost.

Therefore, when villagers enter the underground, they usually make marks with fluorescent potions while hurrying to ensure that they do not get lost.

"As long as I follow these marks and match my compass, it should only be a matter of time before I find my mother." Chu Cheng thought about it, who knew that at this moment, the corpse behind him suddenly trembled slightly!

"Wow!" A piercing sound suddenly sounded, like a sharp knife cutting through glass!

In the corner of Chu Cheng's eyes, a blurry afterimage burst out from the cranial cavity of the corpse, hitting the back of his heart!

If this is an ordinary person, it is naturally unavoidable. It's a pity that Chu Cheng is not an ordinary person!

"Bang!" The tooth-sore sound of gold and iron crashing sounded, and before the afterimage could get close, it was swept away by the sudden light of the knife in Chu Cheng's hand, and he fell to the ground with his teeth and claws.

At the same time, Chu Cheng also saw the appearance of this thing clearly.

It was a monster shaped like a spider, about the size of an adult's fist. Its main body was a wriggling mass of flesh, but inside the mass of flesh were eight blade-like metal arthropod legs, and at the base of the legs were something as small as a pipeline.

Chu Cheng's back was slightly cold, and he couldn't even tell whether the monster in front of him was a flesh and blood creature, a machine, or a ...... Both!?

At this moment, the monster suddenly let out a high-pitched cry similar to that of a baby.

Chu Cheng saw the monster's "abdomen", and suddenly opened a "crack" across the entire body, this "crack" continued to open to both sides under the movement of muscles, revealing the dense sharp teeth inside, so sharp that it could flash people's eyes!

At this moment, the monster's eight metal arthropods and long legs flicked spasmodically, and directly turned over on the spot, and pounced on Chu Cheng again.

"Brush!" The titanium alloy long knife in Chu Cheng's hand stabbed straight out, and the monster was directly pierced in mid-air.

The blade pierced through the flesh and blood, bringing a strange sense of pleasure~ , and the monster struggled a few times in mid-air, gradually losing its vitality.

Chu Cheng flicked the forearm of his right hand, and the monster was directly cut open in the air, and the bloody internal organs mixed with small gears smashed to the ground.

Chu Cheng used the tip of his knife to pick at the remains of the monster a few times, and he really couldn't tell whether this monster was a flesh-and-blood automaton, or a creature whose body tissue had been replaced with a mechanical one.

At this moment, the tip of Chu Cheng's knife suddenly touched something and made a "ding" sound.

Chu Cheng leaned down and quickly found a crystal the size of a grain of rice from the monster's corpse.

The crystal is hexagonal in shape, brilliant blue, like a sapphire.

"It's ...... Mana Crystal Nucleus? Chu admitted that the "share" that the village had previously handed over to the imperial army was this crystal nucleus.

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng directly put away the crystal nucleus, this thing is likely to originate from the ancient era, and it is still extremely valuable.

After solving the trouble, Chu Cheng continued to hurry under the guidance of the compass.

The corridor twists and turns, constantly extending underground.

The deeper you go underground, the colder the temperature becomes.

Chu Cheng opened his mouth and exhaled a white ha, trying to make his steps lighter, in this cold and dark underground, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

The signs of the people in the village came and went, and the road gradually began to branch into many branches.

In order not to go the wrong way, Chu Cheng only looked at the compass from time to time, which affected his travel efficiency.

"Chu Cheng, be careful, I feel the killing intent!" A voice came into Chu Cheng's mind, it was the voice of the Flame Empress.

Almost at the same time, Chu Cheng also felt a trace of murderous aura from the inside of the corner in front of him!

"Huh!" At the moment when Chu Cheng sensed the danger, a cold light suddenly lit up from the inside of the corner, and stabbed Chu Cheng's throat with an extremely sharp attitude.

Chu Cheng's pupils shrank, and in a hurry, he directly slapped a palm horizontally and slapped it against the metal wall on his side.

"Bang!" The metal wall was buzzed by Chu Cheng, and his body also forcibly moved sideways by an inch with the help of the force of recoil, narrowly avoiding the knife flower that took him by the throat!

At the same time, Chu Cheng's left arm also thundered, and he fiercely clasped the outstretched wrist behind the corner.

The wrist of the lying knife was grabbed by Chu Cheng, but the touch from it made Chu Cheng's heart skip a beat.

At this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from the corner, and it was a whip leg at Chu Cheng.

The opponent's attack was very fierce, Chu Cheng immediately raised his right arm to resist, only to feel as if his arm had been slashed by a big knife, and then a dark energy invaded along the contact point of the attack, wreaking havoc.

The muscles on Chu Cheng's arms squirmed layer by layer, and while unloading the dark energy, the whole person took a few steps back, and the figures of the two sides separated again.

"With such agility, it looks like you're not possessed by a monster." A cold voice rang out.

Only then did Chu Cheng see that the one who had just attacked him was actually a handsome and abnormally good-looking teenager.
