Chapter 185: Exploring the Wormhole (Part II)
Chen Zhen didn't care about the mutant slug that had nothing to do with the slug, and continued to walk forward, the big insects on the seashore covered a large area, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, even if a thousand could stay in a "maze", it would take dozens or even hundreds of such mazes to let all the insects on the beach go underground.

In other words, this area between Yangcheng and the beach may already be full of such mazes, and if this is the case, all the mazes can be combined to form a large maze array.
Devouring each other will get bigger and stronger, so will there end up with hundreds of super-powerful bugs, or will there be only one giant monster as big as a city?
In either case, I am afraid that it can cause a devastating blow to Yangcheng.
Continue to walk forward, and further ahead, there are two more forks in the road, one to the left and one to the right, just like the two encountered earlier, and the answer is very obvious.
If every time you pass through a maze, there will be two forks in the road, then this is a triangular maze array, the apex of the triangle is Yangcheng, and the insects in front of you devour each other and push over, and when you arrive in Yangcheng, there will only be the last one left.
The further east, the more forks there will be, the probability of finding the black shadow is infinitely almost zero, plus each maze is very complicated, even if you have the intention to go through every fork in the road, you may miss the black shadow because of the time difference, and the black shadow can sense the existence of Chen Array from a distance, and if you don't want to be found, then Chen Array may find it anyway.
Chen Zhen turned around and walked back, knowing that there would be super mutant creatures, even if the exploration mission was half completed, next, he had to return to the first fork in the road.
There was no wind in that fork in the road.
Returning to the maze where the mutant slugs were, passing by the place where there were still many mutant slug legs on the ground, he came to the first fork in the road and chose the path on the left.
Sure enough, it was different, not long after walking forward, the ground began to slope downward, and the previous road was flat, although the ground was uneven, but the overall was flat, very flat.
The underground temperature is much lower than that of the ground, but in general, it is not colder and colder the further down it is, it is cold to a certain extent, and the temperature will not change significantly when it reaches the area under the influence of solar radiation, but this spiraling downward tunnel is getting colder and colder the further down.
About 20 meters down, the hole dug out comes to the end, and then there is a natural karst cave, the air is humid, cold can make people shiver, some small puddles on the ground, the bottom of the depression, that is, the place in contact with the karst cave is frozen, indicating that the temperature of the karst cave rock is lower than the air temperature.
The terrain in the cave is very complicated, and there are small holes that only cats can drill through, but fortunately, Chen Zhen's left hand can destroy the rocks, and after expanding the cave entrance, he walked forward.
Ice shoots appeared, not referring to that kind of food, but icicles growing from the ground upwards, thick at the bottom and sharp at the top, like bamboo shoots emerging from the ground, and the ground was also covered with a layer of ice, which was very slippery.
Here, it is impossible for big insects to crawl in, and it is impossible for small insects to survive, so a hole has been dug to connect here, which may be related to you.
If it was here, it should already know that Chen Zhen was coming.
Buttoned up the coat that Yang Yan bought for him, and with the white mist, Chen Zhen continued to walk inside, he had darkness to block the signal, and he was not afraid of You's control, You's speed of action was very slow, and he couldn't catch up with him, and his own safety could be guaranteed, so it was necessary to see the purpose of You coming here.
Continuing to walk deeper into the cave, crawling through extremely narrow gaps, through flooded passages, through open areas overhead covered with white stalactites, and finally, Chen Zhen came to an underground river.
The surface of the river froze, and the bottom of the river froze, and the ice formed a huge pipe, clear and transparent, and you could see the river flowing slowly inside, and the dead fish floating down with the river, all the fish were dead, none of them were alive.
It's not strange that there are dead fish, the fish always have to die, but it's not normal if all of them die, either the water is seriously polluted, or it is frozen to death, the water looks fine, and if the underground cave has been so cold, the fish should have adapted to it a long time ago, and it is impossible to freeze to death.
Unless this eerie cold is new.
Chen Zhen deducted a few pieces of debris from the cave wall and sprinkled them on the ice pipe, squatted down to observe carefully, and with the reference, he found that the ice was thickening at a slow speed, indeed very slow, but the slowness that could be distinguished by the naked eye was already very fast.
The cold is indeed new, the ice tube is newly formed, and finding the source of the cold will make it clear why You is here.
Chen Zhen walked upstream along the underground river, and after walking for a while, he saw that the ice pipe had thickened, and the water in this place was also rapid, and further on, he saw an ice cave.
The cold came out from inside, the entrance of the cave had been covered with ice, and it was all condensed water vapor, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a state of madness and his blood was hot, Chen Zhen would probably not be able to withstand the cold here, but even so, frost had already appeared on his face, and the white mist exhaled was so thick that it could block his vision.
Do you want to go into the freeze? This is a question worth thinking about, if the hole is very long, the further it goes, the colder it gets, he may freeze into an iceman halfway, even if he doesn't die, he will freeze into a semi-crippled, if he is seriously injured, the skin, muscles, and bones of the limbs will die, and the black ends of the limbs are likely to need amputation, even if the body is protected by bones, it is very likely to freeze out problems.
After thinking about it, he decided to be safe, anyway, he was not in a hurry to do anything, and it was not worth it to leave his life here.
Returning to the cave dug by the big worm, Chen Zhen collected a large number of tree roots, came to the intersection of the cave and the cave, made a fire, and then found some stones from the cave, and began to roast the stones, and by the way, the piece of meat he brought down was also taken out and roasted.
When he had eaten and drunk, and the people and stones were hot, he took out all the things that were on his back, put them in his pocket, and put some in his pocket, and went as fast as he could to the underground river.
Those stones are hot, but they are protected by bones, so you don't need to worry about burns.
When he came to the underground river, the stones in his pocket were almost cold, but the inside of his back was still hot, he put his backpack on his back, warmed his internal organs against his stomach, hugged his hands, and walked into the ice cave.
It's not too long, but the more you go inside, the more cold it gets, the temperature of the backpack drops sharply, and there is a "pop" cracking sound, and before it cools down completely, Chen Zhen sees a black shadow.
Yu was a little shorter than the last time he saw it, and he didn't even notice Chen Zhen's arrival, it stood in front of a protruding stone in the cave, pressed the stone with his hand, and didn't move, there was no cold thing released here, the reason for the cold was that Yu was absorbing heat, he absorbed all the heat nearby, causing a very low temperature, and he didn't know where it was absorbed.
The body was still transparent, but there was a fist-sized pitch black in the center of the chest, beating rhythmically, like a heart, Chen Zhen couldn't see anything special about the stone it touched, and he couldn't see what it was doing, but it was obviously doing something very important.
Since it is an enemy, there is no reason for it to finish this comfortably, Chen Zhen took out a stone from his pocket, shook it, lifted it and smashed it towards You.
The stone passed through You's body and flew into the distance, You didn't know it, still standing there motionless, Chen Zhen took out another stone, this time aiming at the beating darkness, and smashed it again.
You finally had a reaction, the reaction was very strong, it "screamed" loudly, the scream that Chen Zhen could hear, it looked very painful, and two red lights appeared on the "face", as if he had opened his eyes, and turned to look at Chen Zhen.
Chen Zhen was throwing the second stone, and suddenly, time slowed down again, but Duan Zhengming said that it was because his thinking became extremely active, thinking too fast, he would feel that everything around him had slowed down.
An angry voice sounded in Chen Zhen's head, like an explosion, Chen Zhen was in pain, but this pain could not be expressed in his expressions and movements for the time being.
"Stupid!" That's what the voice meant.
"Looks like I've done the right thing." Chen Zhen thought so.
This time, You didn't say too much nonsense, and immediately tried to control Chen Array, and Chen Array immediately released darkness to envelop himself, with a dark radius of five meters, and a distance of more than twenty meters between the two.
Time returned to normal, and the stone still went out, but it was interrupted by You, and because the darkness obscured the view, it couldn't hit anything.
Retracting the darkness, Chen Zhen saw that You was still standing in place, still pressing the protruding stone with his hand, as if the stone was very important, still looking at Chen Zhen.
Released the darkness again, took out a large stone, put on a throwing position, and while retracting the darkness, he threw the stone in his hand out and smashed it into the stone on the cave wall.
Both stones were shattered, and You's hand finally retracted, and Chen Zhen saw that there were some dense dots on the stone cracks on the cave wall, white, like broken bones.
You let go of his hand and floated towards Chen Zhen, the speed was still very slow, and the darkness in his chest was gone.
Chen Zhen released the darkness, turned around and ran, he couldn't touch You now, just break its good deeds, he was familiar with the road, he quickly returned to the hole in the ground, but was blocked by the mutant slug.
After the mutant slug's body was constricted, its crawling speed was much faster than before, and it had already crawled from the maze to this place during the time that Chen Zhen came out of the hole.
Its eyes were very red, staring directly at Chen Zhen, which were You's eyes.
The mutant slugs have been controlled by You and have become You's body, or weapon.
