Could it be that there were people who had been here before us, and they had figured out the detailed layout of the root system?

But it would take at least a few years to paint such a huge mural, and what kind of person could survive for so long in a place where the evil god Qi field spread.

Du Kang's brows twisted into the word "Chuan", he sighed sullenly, and continued to march deeper into the rift.

Further on, other murals appeared on the walls of the fissure, and the paintings were so abstract that it was difficult to make out the specific contents, but I thought some of them looked like people dancing with limbs and torsos, but no heads.

There were also many holes in the earthen wall, each as thick as my forearm, and in some places there were few holes, but in others they were so dense that at first glance they looked like a hornet's nest.

"There's movement!" , Liu Shangang's low shouts came from behind him, and everyone stopped at the same time.

I listened with my ears sideways, and I heard a slight grinding sound coming from the dirt wall on the right.

Sssss——,ss

Du Kang pulled out the dagger pinned to his waist, and I also pulled out the green steel sword.

The sound was getting closer and closer to us, and after a while, there was a soft "poof" sound from the earthen wall closest to me, and the earth fell off the wall, and a huge earthworm broke through the earth, and it crawled slowly along the dirt wall for a short while, and then drilled a hole into the soil.

I've never seen an earthworm this big, it's thicker than my forearm, and it took a long time for its fat body of a soft couch to burrow completely from one hole to another.

While breathing a sigh of relief, I couldn't help but feel sick in my heart, I had just discovered that I had no resistance to this soft and sticky long worm at all, and I got goosebumps just by looking at it.

Du Kang put away his dagger and continued to walk forward.

The frescoes in the back are becoming more and more complex, and the picture is no longer abstract.

In a relatively complete mural, a group of dwarfs are surrounding a small tree, dancing as if to celebrate something. And in another painting, the small tree has grown into a large tree, and there are still many cheering dwarves next to it.

Looking at these murals, I couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that there are still people living underground?" ”

"It's not a man, it's a mule." Du Kang walked forward without looking back, and said, "They were attracted by the Qi field of the evil gods, entered this abyss, and after hundreds of thousands of years of multiplication, they gave rise to a dark underground civilization. More than ten years ago, I also encountered such a thing in Haiti, an evil god buried deep in the ground lured a group of monkeys into its territory, in a thousand years, these monkeys evolved under the influence of the evil god Qi field, and their intelligence evolved to be similar to that of primitive humans, they hid deep underground, and the evil god became their belief. As long as there are animals outside, they will be hunted by these monkeys. ”

At this point, Du Kang paused for a moment, and then added, "The dwarf mules in the ground will hunt us down, and they are much more powerful than those stupid monkeys. ”

I said, "They live underground for a long time, what do they eat?" ”

"The rhizomes of plants," said Du Kang, "the earthworms that have been nourished and magnified by the evil god Qi Field should also be one of their food. ”

Du Kang's words reminded me of the aliens I found in the Jizo Tomb in the early years, who also fell into the ground thousands of years ago and became such monsters under the influence of the dark environment and resentment and yin qi.

The Qi field of these anomalous environments seems to be able to change the direction of species evolution in a very short period of time.

After walking a long distance, the murals were no longer visible on the dirt walls on both sides, but the holes left by the earthworms had become more and more numerous.

At this time, it was not only resentment and anger that permeated the air, but also demonic qi and a very thick corpse qi.

The second master also said before that the dwarf mules he encountered were all carrying a very heavy corpse aura, but what was the matter with this demonic aura, could it be that there were dwarf mules who had cultivated in this place?

"There's movement!" It was Liu Shangang who was shouting in a low voice, and we stopped again.

This time, sparse footsteps came from the shadows directly across from us, and the dwarf mules were coming!

Where we were, there was a long and narrow valley road, with no forks in the road, no place to hide, and the voices approached us from the other end of the road.

The second master came up from behind, across in front of me, and I found that he also had a dagger in his hand.

In fact, when I saw the dagger in Du Kang's hand just now, I felt that the dagger was a little familiar, and it was only now that I found out that the dagger used by the second master was exactly the same as Du Kang's dagger.

I was staring at the dagger in the second master's hand, and the second master slapped me: "Don't be distracted." ”

I glanced at Du Kang again, and his dagger was exactly the same as the one in the second master's hand.

At this time, Du Kang and the second master both lowered their breaths and stared vigilantly at the depths of the valley road. I also clenched the green steel sword and waited for it.

At this moment, I don't know who raised the flashlight behind me, and the white beam of light suddenly made the thing that was approaching us appear in its original form.

It was indeed a dwarf mule, with a small body, a large head, black hair on the body, and a face plate very similar to that of humans, but the "Walking Dead Examination" said that dwarf mules had great strength, and I always thought that their limbs would be very thick, but in fact their arms and legs were extremely slender, as if they were skinny and bone.

The two legs like a reed pole support a fat belly, giving people a very deformed feeling.

After being hit by the beam, the first reaction of the group of dwarf mules was to block the light with their hands, not to mention that their arms were very thin, but their palms were very wide, just enough to block the bridge of their noses and eyes.

The man holding up the flashlight was Liang Houzai, and then I heard him shout behind me: "Hurry up, they will soon be able to adapt to the light." ”

As soon as the words fell, the second master rushed out, his body was broad, with a strong air current, and at the same moment, the evil qi on the second master's body was completely dispersed.

I immediately looked back at Lao Yang, he obviously couldn't withstand the second master's turbulent waves, and at this time he was clutching his chest against the wall, and his eyes began to drift.

It must be resolved quickly, in a few minutes, it is estimated that Lao Yang will faint, if it is okay outside, even if he faints, when the second master represses the Qi field, Lao Yang will be able to wake up after a while, but the oxygen here is thin, once he faints, it will be very dangerous.

Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang immediately pulled Lao Yang back, and they used flashlights to light us up as they retreated, and Du Kang and I also pounced on the dwarf mules together.

The second master waved his huge fist and smashed the two short mules that pounced on him into the air, while shouting: "The skin of this thing is very hard, don't be ambiguous." Watch out for their claws! ”

When the second master shouted loudly, a short mule had already arrived in front of me, it seemed that it had not fully adapted to the light of the flashlight, and its center of gravity was a little unstable when it ran.

Seeing that it looked weak, I hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately stab the green steel sword, but just like that, the dwarf mule suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it reached me.

It stretched out its palm towards me, just now the second master said to be careful of their claws, but its palms don't even have nails, where did the claws come from?

I retreated quickly, still thinking in my heart that the dwarf mule that the second master encountered outside and the dwarf mule here may not be the same thing, although both have a strong corpse qi on their bodies.

But at this moment, the five fingertips of the dwarf mule brushed out five iron nails like long claws, and it was good that I took a step back, otherwise the half-foot-long claws would have pierced my throat.

With a missed blow, the mule immediately became furious, and it bared its teeth at me, revealing a full mouth of fangs, and a thick corpse gas gushed out of its mouth.

I kicked it in the face and knocked it to the ground. Then another mule pounced, and I reached out and grabbed its wrist, and with a forceful blow, it immediately lost its center of gravity in mid-air.

With just a brief touch, I could feel the strength on its wrist, and if it weren't for the fact that it was in mid-air, I wouldn't have been able to break it.

When the third mule lunged at me, I unleashed my Tiangang sword, stabbing it in the chest as I retreated.

I still know what it feels like for the green steel sword to pierce the flesh, it's like piercing a jelly with a fruit knife, and I can hardly feel any resistance. But when the green steel sword pierced the chest of the dwarf mule, it was like piercing a stone, and the resistance was very great.

I shook off the mule from the sword, and it was pierced in the chest, but it didn't bleed much, and it struggled violently a few times when it landed.

One of the dwarf mules died, and the other dwarf mules were furious, and they abandoned the second master and Du Kang, and all of them pounced on me.

That's when I realized that although I wasn't the first to do it, I was the first to open the killing ring. The second master and Du Kang have been fighting with the dwarf mule, but they have not killed any of them so far.

Seeing a large number of dwarf mules gathering towards me, the second master muttered, "So fast!" ”

I didn't have time to respond to the second master, while retreating, I continued to stab the green steel sword, I didn't dare to attack the heart of the dwarf mule again, their chests were too hard and thick, I was afraid that the green steel sword would collapse into a gap.

Every time I hit the sword, I aimed at the throat of the mule, and when I stabbed it, a big hole was made in the mule's neck.

When they fell to the ground clutching their necks, they still didn't bleed, but the corpse qi in their bodies dissipated at a rapid pace.

As soon as the corpse dispersed, the dwarf mule was soon dead.

I looked at the dwarf mules that were knocked down by the second master, they also had wounds on their bodies, one was wounded in the throat, but the corpse qi did not emanate from the wounds.

It should have been the pure yang qi on the green steel sword that corroded their wounds and urged the corpse qi to leak out.

Thinking of this, I immediately shouted at the second master and Du Kang: "Send yang energy to their wounds, they are afraid of yang energy." ”

As I spoke, two more short mules flew towards me, this thing was very fast, I was distracted, I didn't retreat at the first time, I was immediately stuck by one of them, and the other was smashed away by the iron fist of the second master.

Du Kang also rushed over and helped me resist the attack of the dwarf mule with the second master.

I reached for the mule that was stuck to my shoulder, and knowing that I was going to grab it, it quickly went around my back, and as it moved, its sharp claws cut through the clothes on my shoulder, and I felt a burning pain in my shoulder, and then I smelled blood.
