Chapter 64: The Mysterious Underworld
Because of the energy radiation, the ultrasonic scanning and thermal energy detection of the red queen cannot get the specific situation of those radiation areas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the three-dimensional topographic map of the red queen, most of the subterranean area of the island has been replaced by a thick black color.
Including the high-energy crystal veins at this time, it is also pitch black.
Because it is unknown, it is mysterious.
Because it is mysterious, it makes people think about it.
Is it the high concentration of veins that causes huge radiation? Or is it a failure of scanning and probing caused by the too strong magnetic field of a powerful life form like Bi Fang?
Danger and opportunity coexist, and you want to get what you need.
The mysterious passage is a lava pipe, but it cannot be explored because of the radiation of high-energy crystals. However, in the process of mining high-energy crystals, a mining worker bee mysteriously disappeared, and then another worker bee who entered the search also disappeared, and the red queen immediately blocked this mysterious passage deep into the heart of the mountain.
"The mysterious passage is right behind here." Cynthia took Ding Huaiyu deep into a remote ruin.
The rock formations in this area are exposed to a large number of high-energy crystals, but they have not been further developed. A huge rock blocked the passage in and out, Ding Huaiyu let out a low cry, and hit the center of the rock with a punch, and dense cracks like spider webs appeared on the huge rock, and then collapsed into rubble, revealing a deep lava channel.
The cave was lit up by a dark red light from the rocks, a bits of light from the high-energy crystals, illuminating the deep darkness of the world in a bloody color.
Looking around, there was a fairly wide underground hole. You can clearly see that the cave is full of magma flowing and solidifying, depicting the violent scene of the volcanic eruption thousands of years ago.
"Cynthia, tell me what you found when you entered here."
"I was going to go in to find out why the miner bees mysteriously disappeared, but I always had a feeling of uneasiness in my heart. After only about 100 meters, I found something strange. Even the Kei Shui Leopard is extremely afraid, so we don't dare to go deep easily, if we startle the snake and lure out the terrifying creatures, it will be troublesome! ”
Cynthia looked into the depths of the mysterious passage and whispered, "It's a huge cobweb, and it's full of animal corpses!" Looking at the state of destruction of the cobweb, the two mining worker bees disappeared into the cobweb. I wasn't attacked by the spider, though. ”
"Spiders? Let's go over and have a look! ”
A faint blood-colored glow!
Faint footsteps!
Spread in the secluded underworld, surrounded by silence that seeps into the marrow!
Sure enough, after going hundreds of meters deeper, a huge natural cave appeared in front of me. It was covered with cobwebs, and on top of them were the skins of some animals. It is the product of being anesthetized by a spider and injected into the digestive juice and sucking violently, as if it were a Coke bottle that has been sucked up of the liquid inside!
Those skins are not just small animals, small insects, many are large creatures above the surface.
"This is a nest where spiders hatch?" Ding Huaiyu looked at the corpses of the demon beasts that were obviously living on the surface, and then found more than a dozen huge egg shells in the cobwebs, all of which had hatched, and then affirmed: "That's right, it's indeed a nest, and it's an abandoned nest!" After all, there's no food here! However, it is clear that this group of large spiders will patrol their territory from time to time! ”
"How are we going to get there?" Cynthia tried the toughness of the cobweb, the finger-thick cobwebs were tougher than steel, and there was a huge stickiness on them, which would stick together when they stuck to the clothes, and they couldn't be separated. Fortunately, Cynthia soon discovered that the stickiness of cobwebs seemed to be particularly effective only for rough things like fur, while the smooth skin of humans was only slightly sticky.
"It's simple, just cut it off!"
Ding Huaiyu took out the dark blue dagger, Fragrad, cut off the tough spider silk with a simple stroke, and then opened a passage in the spider web for one person to pass through, and passed through the spider's nest.
At the other end of the nest, there were indeed several passages, and Ding Huaiyu found a passage with obvious traces of activity.
It didn't take long to find some lichens growing on top of the passage. This simplest algae plant can adapt to a variety of environments and grow, and is known as the pioneer of the plant kingdom. With lichen moss, there are basic conditions for the survival of animals and plants, which were not found in the lava tunnels that came before.
It seems that a complete ecological chain underground is about to emerge.
Sure enough, as we went deeper, the air in the cave gradually became moister, and the moss plants gradually increased. Although there is no light emitted by the high-energy crystals, the moss emits a faint phosphorescence, so the entire underground world does not appear dark.
Cynthia looked at the white slime that appeared in the moss, then stroked the marks that had been scratched by some sharp weapon, and said, "There are traces of biological activity here!" ”
Ding Huaiyu smelled it slightly, and the power of the lung god was activated, and all kinds of flavors were decomposed and summarized by the lung god. There is a pungent smell of acid, which seems a little choking, and it should be the smell of spider venom. There is also a smell of artificial blood, which is supposed to be the bodily fluids of mining worker bees.
"Follow me!"
Quickly traveling through the underground world with countless passages, Ding Huaiyu continued to go deeper with his scent. The more you walked towards the breath of the miner bees, the more damp it became, and the surrounding rock walls behind it were seeping with water droplets.
The sound of "tick-tock" water dripping came from nowhere, it was monotonous and mechanical, everything was silent, and no living creature appeared except moss. But in such an environment, people associate it with the sound of blood dripping from the section of the neck!
Following the breath, I finally entered a huge cavern the size of a football field, and a pool of water appeared in it. The dim rocks stood tall and stood on their own, and the giant ferns, which were so highly awe-inspiring, even took up half of the cavern, emitting the smell of dampness and decay.
A variety of ferns grow around the waterhole, including some valuable Chinese herbs. There are stone leeks close to the ground, and the sheep's tooth fern is very luxuriant, and the stone fern, swollen-footed fern, powder-backed fern, stone wage, and wawe have successfully penetrated into the rock with their roots, and these areas that should have been bare have been painted with green.
What's more, next to the waterhole are two decommissioned miner bees.
It seems that this creation of a mechanical civilization is not to the taste of those spiders.
