Chapter 40: The Underworld
People who live above the ground all year round may not be able to imagine that there is a strange and strange underground world under the steel jungle of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dark, dirty, bizarre, and all-encompassing.
Syllable!
Ye Xiaoye took a step forward slightly, stepped on the sewage under his feet, and made a soft sound.
It was pitch black here, even with his body that had evolved twice in a row, he could only see things within a radius of five meters, but fortunately, the space here was not very wide, he could see the pipe walls on the left and right sides clearly, and with a sweep of his spiritual power, he could also see the range of fifty or sixty meters in front of him.
"You can't use mental power."
Su Chang suddenly spoke, Ye Xiaoye's face changed, and he felt a little excessive.
If he can't bring enough resources, he can hunt certain edible mutant beasts to fill his stomach, and water can also be obtained with the help of Su Chang's ice ability. But what's the deal with not being able to use mental power?
Do you want to be blind and wait until the mutant beast breaks through to within five meters of you before you fight back in a panic?
"It's a test." Su Chang's tone was serious.
Ye Xiaoye was slightly stunned, remembering the categorical appearance when he promised Su Chang before, he bit his lip vigorously and said, "Okay!" ā
He gathered his mental strength and continued to move forward cautiously.
Syllable! Syllable!
The soft sound of stepping on the sewage spread far away in this dark and silent space, as if it had become the only sound in the world at this time.
The sewage under your feet is not so deep that it can submerge the soles of your shoes. It's just that it stinks so badly, and there is a soft feeling when you step on it, and I don't know if it's sludge or something else, which makes people feel sick and hairy.
Ye Xiaoye's eyes were firm, and he walked step by step, just as this was a test to temper his state of mind. The environment we will face in the future may be even more disgusting than that.
The stench entered the nose, the filth was added, and it was immovable, which was almost incredible for Ye Xiaoye, who had a slight cleanliness habit before the end of the world.
However, he did it in earnest. After a long time, it seems that I have also adapted to this feeling, walking in this underground world, and suddenly a feeling of handy comes to my heart.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly froze, and his advancing footsteps suddenly paused, and his heart beat rapidly.
He saw a pair of blood-red eyes!
"What's that?"
Although the palm of his hand was already stained with blood, it did not mean that he was fearless at this time. After being in this dark world for a long time, facing the sudden appearance of blood-red pupils, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear of the unknown in his heart.
Ye Xiaoye took a deep breath and held the katana in his hand tightly, and the ability poured in, and a slight cold light bloomed on the elegant and slender blade, as if it was made of ten thousand years of cold iron, sharp and solid.
He restrained his desire to probe with his mental power, and slowly moved his steps, getting closer to the blood-colored pupils.
The blood-red eyes are naturally mutant beasts!
Since it is a mutant beast, it is the prey of his training this time!
Syllable! Syllable!
There was a soft sound under his feet, swinging in the silent pipe, and even Ye Xiaoye felt that the sound was a little abrupt at this time.
The best hunter should hide all traces of himself when approaching his prey. It was undoubtedly the most unsuccessful move for him to make such a big move before he got close.
However, it can't be so much at this time.
Ye Xiaoye held his breath, his attention was highly concentrated, and the katana trembled slightly, adjusting the most appropriate angle of force.
One step, two steps......
Suddenly, his footsteps paused slightly, and he saw a red eye in front of him again!
Two?
Ye Xiaoye's eyebrows furrowed slightly, could it be that there are two mutant beasts? If it's just an ordinary beast soldier, it doesn't hurt. But if it's an elite orc, it's a little difficult for him to deal with it at the same time.
However, these two mutant beasts did not have the feeling of elite beast soldiers. According to his experience, each elite beast soldier can affect the surrounding environment on a small scale, such as the large fire ox, the temperature of the nearby space is much higher than that of other places, or the earthworm of the earth system, where it is buried, even forms a small mound.
"It should be two beast soldiers."
Ye Xiaoye secretly judged, and began to move forward cautiously again, approaching the two blood-colored eyes.
Su Chang seemed to want to let him practice alone, but he didn't make any sound for half a day, and he didn't give the slightest hint.
Finally, when he took another step, the distance between him and the two pairs of red eyes was less than ten meters!
With the help of the blood-red pupils and the faint cold light emanating from the long knife in his hand, Ye Xiaoye could already vaguely see the outline under the red eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly, and an uncertain thought flashed through his mind.
"It's a mouse?"
They were two animals the size of a domestic cat, but the silhouette of their bodies was definitely not cats. With both feet on the ground, the lower body is slightly fat and the upper body is slender, and the two red eyes are extremely close together, trembling slightly, as if the whole body is trembling.
"Squeak-"
At this moment, a sharp cry confirmed Ye Xiaoye's judgment. The monster at the front suddenly screamed, although the cry was shrill and piercing, but it could be vaguely heard that it was indeed a mouse. It rushed forward a few meters like lightning, its red eyes drawing a red line in the darkness, completely exposed to Ye Xiaoye's gaze!
Seeing the whole picture of this mouse, Ye Xiaoye couldn't help but gasp!
In the last days, everything has mutated, and even the most ordinary rats have evolved into this terrifying appearance!
The mouse's eyes were blood-red, and the large teeth that had protruded from its lips were replaced by a pair of sharp fangs, and black saliva continued to flow from the corners of its mouth and slide down the hair on its body.
Every mouse hair is faintly glowing with cold light, straight and slender, like hard steel thorns, at a glance, it is even more terrifying than a fried hedgehog!
Before Ye Xiaoye could see its full picture, as that scream fell, in the darkness ahead, there was a sudden sound of Xi Suosuo, and then, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness!
"What?"
Ye Xiaoye's heart was suddenly shocked, and when he looked around, judging from the number of eyes that appeared at this time, there were at least twenty mutant beasts here!
"Now you know how ridiculous you are, right?"
"Listen, this is the first lesson that the old lady taught you in this underground world!"
Su Chang's voice suddenly sounded, and there was a bit of smugness in his seriousness. She said quickly, "They're called Iron Thorn Rats, and they're one of the most numerous mutant beasts in this underground world. Living in a dark and foul-smelling environment for many years has degraded their sense of sight and smell, but they are extremely sensitive to sound. ā
"After the mutation, this perverted sense of hearing has been strengthened to the greatest extent, and the exaggerated footsteps you just now are like beating gongs and drums to them!"
"They are not strong individually, but they tend to appear in groups. The longer you linger on them, the more they will appear. You can't kill them all, unless you can kill them all in the first place...... Just find the right time to find a way to break through! ā
After listening to Su Chang, Ye Xiaoye couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "I'm still too tender......"
His eyes narrowed slightly, slowly adjusting his breathing, and taking Su Chang's words into his heart. There are only two ways to go through a narrow pipeline, forward or backward. He raised his long knife slightly, and his hands turned into steel little by little, extending to his forearms.
Kill!
