Chapter Twenty-Three: The Classics

The sunlight can only shine at a distance of 100 meters below the sinkhole, and then it is pitch black, just in the area where light and darkness meet, the three of them found that there are some strange things, there seems to be something below that emits the light above, although the volume is not large, but there are many of them, densely packed everywhere, and some are still moving slightly.

Zhang Fan looked down and saw that the cliff on his side was also like this, with many tiny and dense reflections. Zhang Fan said, "Sister Zi, why don't I put a fireball down and take a look, what is it down there?" ”

Zique thought for a while and said, "Well, but you must control the strength well, don't disturb them" Zhang Fan agreed and began to condense the fireball in his hand, because this time it was used for lighting, and it was most appropriate to use the blast Yan.

After Zhang Fan condensed into a fist-sized fireball in his hand, he carefully threw it towards the center of the sinkhole, and when he reached the center, it suddenly exploded, and suddenly the surrounding area was illuminated, and at the same time, the three people above exclaimed.

"Oh my God, what did I see" Zique said in disbelief. The ring plate also frowned on the side, and the cold sweat came down, "Oh my God, how can there be so many" As for Zhang Fan, he was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound, because he saw an unbelievable picture.

The tiny light turned out to be the small eyes of those huge creatures, each almost the size of a van, and eight huge but sharp legs around an oval body, which felt like a magnified and stout version of a spider, especially the pair of forelimbs, slender and flattened, making people feel that if they were to pierce the body, it would be effortless.

These creatures crawled densely on the rock wall, and the light range of the explosion was full of these things, not to mention tens of thousands, and in the deeper depths of the darkness, I don't know how many of these things there were.

"This is the Dark Flower, let's retreat quickly, we can't deal with it, we must quickly inform the matter here" Zique said in an unquestionable tone.

For the first time, Zhang Fan saw a nervous look on Zique's face, that is, she was not so nervous in the face of the beast tide. In fact, it was the first time he saw Zique so serious, and he suddenly felt that things might be more serious than he imagined, and couldn't help asking, "Sister Zi, what is this dark flower, is it the following things?" ”

Zhang Fan also looked at Zique, his head full of question marks. "Don't talk about this yet, let's talk about it after we exit here" After finishing speaking, he got up and retreated in the direction he was coming from, and Zhang Fan could only retreat.

At this moment, the mutation protruded, suddenly broke out of the ground from the ground, and many tentacle-like things burst out, sweeping towards the three of them, Zique hurriedly activated her ability, several flashes on her fingertips, and the laser light had already hit the tentacles.

The violent explosion tore the tentacles apart, but more tentacles continued to poke out from under the ground, and the crazy super three called. The three of them were dodging left and right, and Zhang shouted, "Let's go to the sky" Although Zhang Fan has not yet reached the realm of anti-gravity, it is no problem to use the ability to fly at low altitude for a short time.

But Zique denied, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be dark flowers." To deal with the Dark Flower, flying into the air is only to find death. I'll open the way, you follow me, let's rush out" After speaking, Zique waved his hand, and several golden rays of light shot out, hitting the tentacles that had just poked out of the ground in front of him, causing a violent explosion, and then Zique sank into the smoke and dust, and Zhang Fan followed closely behind.

In the smoke and dust, Zique's fingers on both hands were like machine guns, constantly strafing, and after advancing 3 kilometers, there were fewer and fewer strange plants around, and there were many fewer tentacles. Finally, after running for 20 kilometers, she couldn't see those strange plants at all, Zique stopped panting, and she could see that she was tired enough, as if she wasn't so tired when dealing with the beast tide.

The ring was just about to ask, Zique waved his hand and said, "They should also come, let's talk together when the people are here" After speaking, he sat aside and rested. Zhang Fan and the ring plate looked at each other and found a place to rest.

5 minutes later, a huge plane appeared above the heads of the three of them, and after slowly landing, the hatch opened, and a young European man ran over quickly, stood still in front of Zique, gave a military salute and said, "Lord Zi, the Ninth Legion of the Phantom Rain Pavilion has arrived, our general invites Lord Zi and the two to the spaceship."

"Okay" Zique stood up and gave a military salute back, and said to the ring plate and Zhang Fan, "Let's go"

Entering the ship, we came to a huge control room, where there were already seven or eight people. Seeing Zhang Fan and the three of them come in, one of the tallest European men led by him smiled and stretched out his hand to Zique and said, "I didn't expect that the first one to arrive was actually Lord Zi, you have worked hard, the Ninth Legion Commander of the Phantom Rain Pavilion Black Emperor has seen Lord Zi"

Zique shook his hand and said, "It's okay, but this incident is tricky."

"Oh? How tricky, I have already sent someone over to investigate" The Black Emperor said disapprovingly, "This kind of thing, the 7 potentials have all happened, and they all have their own countermeasures, so don't bother with Lord Zi"

Zique exclaimed, "What? Someone has already been sent? Hurry up and let them retreat, the creature that comes out this time is likely to be the Flower of Darkness."

"Dark Flower? What is it? Let's discuss it when the investigators come back, Lord Purple here, please "The Black Emperor didn't believe anything could happen to his people at all.

Zique wanted to say something, but a middle-aged gray-haired old man next to him came over and said to Zique, "Zi Que, you have been very helpful when you come here, but since we have arrived, you won't bother with the rest of the matter."

Zique looked at him and said, "Who are you?" The gray-haired old man humbled slightly, and replied, "The contemptible man is Thomas, the staff officer of the Ninth Legion of the Phantom Rain Pavilion."

Zique snorted and said, "When you ask me," after speaking, he sat aside to rest, and Jiepan and Zhang Fan also sat down beside Zique. Zhang Fan said, "These foreigners are too arrogant, they don't take Sister Zi in their eyes at all, and they don't even ask about the information we got at the risk of death."

"You just arrived, and you don't understand something. The Phantom Rain Pavilion is the organization with the largest number of people in the 7 potentials, and there are many people under them, so they are confident enough to solve all problems, and they are very arrogant."

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'm going to make a big mistake this time," Zique on the side said leisurely.

At first, the Black Emperor and his senior cadres of the legion commanded everything with a high spirit, ten minutes later, the people in the control room began to feel a little uneasy, and after twenty minutes, the Black Emperor's face had turned pale, because the first team he sent out to investigate had lost contact for fifteen minutes, and ten minutes ago, the Black Emperor sent the second team to look for it, but after entering the range of those strange plants, there was no news.

Because of the red mist that appeared around the plants at some point, the aerial reconnaissance had become undoubted. At this time, the Black Emperor finally realized that something was wrong, and he should first ask about the situation inside before acting.

In desperation, he could only come to Zique and say to Zique, "Lord Zi, please forgive me for my previous arrogance, and don't worry about us, you can tell us about the situation inside" Zique saw that the Black Emperor had apologized for his previous arrogance, so he no longer pursued it, after all, they came to investigate at this time, and then inform the people of the Phantom Rain Pavilion.

Zhang Fan can also see that although these Europeans look down on them, they have an unusually high respect for Zique, as if they are a little afraid of her, obviously Zique's status in the Soul Dragon Hall is not low, it should be much higher than the status of this so-called Black Emperor in the Phantom Rain Pavilion.

At this time, Zique had already come to the high platform in the control room, and said to the people below, "Everyone, we are in big trouble this time" The first sentence of the opening sentence made everyone's hearts sink, and they couldn't help but sink, their Ninth Legion is composed of ten squads, and the previous two squads are still the elite squads among them, if they are really all lost here, the loss of strength of the Ninth Legion will be devastating.

Zique continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the creature that appears here is called the 'Dark Flower', and it is a very terrifying creature. It first appeared in an ancient book of the Dragon Kingdom, where it was called Dark Source, which means Source of Darkness"

Thomas below said, "The source? Could it be a creature from that place? What's the name of that ancient book? ”

"Yes, you should all know that human beings have known about the inner earth as early as ancient times, and it is not a big deal to know the situation inside and record it, but that ancient book is the only one volume that records this dark source, that is, the dark flower, and the name of that ancient book is the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Zhang Fan was taken aback when he heard this, it was not that he had read this book, but he knew that this book appeared in the pre-Qin period or even earlier, and it recorded many unbelievable things. Later generations corresponded to this book but never found the real thing, and then it was treated as a fantasy novel in ancient times, with little historical value, but who knew that the things it recorded were all terrible creatures in the inner earth.
