The skewed warning sign resembles a corpse rooted in the humus layer, and the handwriting on it has faded, leaving only messy dark brown marks, and some eye-catching warning words can be faintly recognized.

The cave is surrounded by a decaying wooden fence that still retains the mining tools used in the past, and the minecarts are half-buried in the rubble pile, covered with thick black mud.

Look closely.

The "black mud" was still slowly squirming like life.

"It's not a weird erosion effect......"

Cheng Shen looked around.

The strange aura that emanates from the mine is evil from darkness, decay from death, madness and chaos, but there is no eerie dead silence that can reduce everything to nothingness.

However, in other words, if there is a strange appearance in the mine, the breath of several other energies will not exist......

"And the smell of the abyss."

Arjeka wrinkled her nose and added.

Cheng Shen condensed slightly, and then nodded, there was an unrecognizable energy fluctuation in his breath, which was very similar to the Abyss Plague Insect Tower he had come into contact with, it was a smell that was difficult to describe based on the rotten and foul smell alone.

"If it is polluted by the abyss, it is not difficult to understand the behavior of closing the mine."

He muttered to himself.

The terrifying power of the abyssal blight insects is still vivid, and the harm they cause to living beings is comparable to the weird. Cheng Shen immediately decided to withdraw the iron-blooded soldiers from this battle, and let Da Meng lead the team to block the surroundings.

Subsequently.

He raised his hand and tossed a crystal containing a ray of pale flame.

Boom!

The fragile hedron shattered when it landed, and flames burst out from it, like a flowing tide, seemingly slow but actually spreading extremely quickly across the earth.

Laugh at!

The layer of black mud that covered the ground around the cavern reacted violently in the flames, and they squirmed faster, and their gelatinous skin was burned and cracked by the flames, bursting with filthy flesh and blood.

A high-pitched creaking sound echoed the mines, and it was impossible to tell if it was the screams of monsters or the sound of matter burning.

"Close!"

Seeing that the ground was almost cleared, Cheng Shen's huge spiritual energy suddenly shrouded out, condensing all the spreading hell flames.

Then.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

The turbid mist instantly steamed in the forest, filling the entire area like a heavily polluted industrial park with dust and haze, and the smell of rust and hot smell in the air made people feel as if their hearts and lungs were about to burn.

Call!

Cheng Shen's mind drove a gust of wind to blow again in the heavens and the earth, and a large area of mist, along with the falling raindrops, was blown away into the sky.

Breathing wind,

Call for rain.

Cheng Shen was just a simple use of energy control, and he was already able to exert such an almost miraculous power.

Facing the gravel closed cave, he didn't use magic to blast it open, Cheng Shen glanced to the side, two ghouls shaped, with thin bodies and sharp claws, stepped forward with wooden barrels.

They slammed round barrels about a foot high into the cracks in the stone, and as they trembled, black powder fell from the edges of the barrels.

Wait until these two petrified ancestors withdraw.

Laugh at!

Cheng Shen shook his hand and rubbed out a wisp of flames, and the flames dispersed into several lines of fire in the air, drifting towards the barrels.

In a flash.

Everyone felt that a bright fire suddenly lit up in front of them!

Rumble!!

Then there was a wave of shaking!

The dust and mist were surging, and the fine sand and gravel flew in all directions like bullets, but everyone was far away, and even if the occasional sand and gravel could hit with the blessing of kinetic energy, they were all blocked by the well-protected armor.

Cheng Shen narrowed his eyes and stared at the center of the explosion.

Suddenly.

Thunder lit up in his eyes.

Crackling!

Two thumb-thick bolts of lightning fell in mid-air like javelins, and suddenly, the two figures that rushed out of the smoke were pinned to the spot!

-6039！

-6102！

……

"What is this!?"

Cheng Shen looked intently.

The two lightning-nailed monsters still had their basic human forms, covered in tattered strips of cloth, and their bodies were severely rotten and deformed, covered in abscesses and distorted tissue!

"Roar!!"

They didn't die immediately after taking a blow, a monster with a face full of pustule tissue, sharp mouthparts growing on either side of its neck, and four small jagged mouths in the mouthparts that let out an inhuman roar.

"Abyssal pollution and dark distortion coexist?"

Cheng Shen's face was ugly.

The appearance of one of these two factors alone can cause a devastating blow to an ecosystem, and the appearance of both together is comparable to the coming of the apocalypse! And more importantly, the appearance of these two monsters made Cheng Shen realize one thing.

Before the mine was sealed by outside forces.

There's someone inside!

Boom!

Cheng Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and the two thunder spears suddenly exploded, ending the howling duet of the two monsters.

Forthwith.

He added another fire and burned their bodies to ashes.

[Hint: Kill the abandoned miner, experience +600!] 】

……

"It's a miner."

Cheng Shen looked at the front thoughtfully.

On this expedition, he also had the intention of testing the research results of the gunpowder workshop, and those barrels of explosives were the latest third-level gunpowder developed by the gunpowder workshop.

Now it seems that the power is okay.

The closed rockfall had been blasted into a large hole, and a gray light shone into it, revealing large dark red scratches at the entrance of the cave, which seemed to represent the desperation of the people inside the cave when the mine was sealed.

It's shocking to watch.

"There must be some connection between the abandoned miners and the temple outcasts in the old mouths."

Cheng Shen thought.

The stone used to build that magnificent temple must not have been refined out of thin air, eighty percent of it came from the mine in front of you.

Then again.

Cheng Shen then remembered that he had never seen the corpses of those abandoned people in the temple.

Only a few are buried in the cemetery behind the temple.

But those corpses are more like unlucky outsiders who have been captured by them and used to perform various bloody rituals......

His mind flashed through the contents of the murals he had seen.

Soon.

He found the answer.

These temple abandons who believed in evil gods did not have a tradition of burial or cremation.

Their traditional custom is to return to the bosom of the unknown after death.

He remembered a mural of a temple outcast depicting a line symbolizing aging aging and walking alone into a cave; There is also a huge scene, and countless people carry the coffin into the same cave.

As for what exactly is in the cave.

I don't know.

It was as if the dark cave represented the unknown in their perception, and to enter it was to return to the embrace of God......

"Could it be the cave in front of you?"

Cheng Shenhu was suspicious.

He didn't hesitate for long.

After turning his mind, he directed the two petrified ancestors to walk towards the blasted mine.

The two petrified ancestors visibly reacted agitated as they approached the cave.

But until they entered the cave, their bodies did not undergo any special changes.

"The petrified ancestors are pure alchemy products, theoretically they do not belong to living beings, but they can ignore the pollution effect of the abyss and dark energy on flesh and blood creatures, if they are replaced by iron-blooded soldiers, I am afraid it will be different......"

Cheng Shen imagined that kind of scene.

Shaking his head secretly.

The chaos that was born after the mutation of this world is too unfriendly to flesh creatures.

If you don't have flesh and blood, you can have the most important growth trait.

Cheng Shen has long been inappropriate.

Swish!

He raised his hand to apply a dozen holy shields to himself, and turned to help Arjeka, only to see that the golden flames on her body were already burning.

The two exchanged a look.

Cheng Shen turned his head silently, and through the control of his mind, thirty petrified ancestors with the attributes of the leader unit had poured into the cave.

Airplanes......

There was a shudder.

The red-glowing Scout guard also flew low.

Spirits are automatically linked.

A mine tunnel dyed dark red appeared in Cheng Shen and Arjieka's minds, respectively.

The mine was built very wide, four meters high, almost wide enough to fit two wagons in parallel, and the scout guard horse was currently flying forward against the roof of the cave, followed by a group of petrified ancestors running with their hands and feet.

Cheng Shen then entered the cave.

Laugh at......

The holy shield on his body immediately made a slight corrosive sound, and Cheng Shen raised his eyes to look.

The cavern is filled with only gray-green and jet-black energy.

The gray-green energy comes from the abyss, and the other energy belongs to the darkness. The wandering abyssal energy didn't react violently to the shield of light on his body.

Only those dark energies attacked him like fire and water.

But Cheng Shen did not let down his vigilance against the pollution of the abyss.

He was shocked to find that those abyssal energies could directly penetrate the shield on his body and fall on him.

In the beginning.

When the number was small, he hadn't noticed much of an anomaly.

But the abyss aura here is so strong, but after more than ten seconds, Cheng Shen sensed the abnormal feedback from his body.

"Ahem......"

He couldn't help coughing twice, and then he felt a strange gesture of raising his hand, and his palms were actually stained with black blood!

A rancid stench in the nasal passages.

Suddenly he realized that he had been tricked unconsciously!

Cleanse!

Cheng Shen tried to unleash the purification magic on himself, but after the runes were outlined, there was no energy condensation. The dark energy in this cave is too abundant, and it has already dispelled the light element of the conflict.

He frowned.

Several props depicting purification runes lit up one after another.

Swish!

The pure light swept over his body, and Cheng Shen felt a little better.

But this purifying effect is basically better than nothing.

In the cave, he was polluted by the energy of the abyss every moment, and the energy stored in a few pieces of magical equipment alone was simply not enough.

Crash!

Cheng Shen didn't hesitate to switch directly to the bright red form.

The several holy shields on his body lost the maintenance of their spiritual power, and they were directly shattered after a few flickers.

Patches of gray-green or pitch-black marks immediately appeared on his body, either forming vicious pustules or growing purple tentacles.

Time.

Cheng Shen's whole person became a little more terrifying than the polluted monster!

But immediately, the pieces of contaminated body were stripped out of Cheng Shen's body.

Fresh blood filled his body again.

Then it was contaminated again.

Abandon ...... again

The crimson form could not stop the abyss and the erosion of dark energy.

However.

The pollution speed of these two energies together is not as fast as Cheng Shen's recovery attribute, he has been switching between normal and aberrant forms like this, and the change in mood also makes him not have too much pressure in his heart.

"I can help you."

Arjeka couldn't help but say on the side, the sun flame she mastered had already given birth to a trace of transcendent matter, which had an extremely powerful restraining effect on non-transcendent energy, and she didn't have to care about the pollution of the abyss at all.

"No, I'm adapting."

Cheng Shen shook his head and refused.

He really didn't say anything reckless, the abyss and darkness were also a kind of energy, and they could also be controlled by the energy control talent.

Cheng Shen just couldn't adapt to the polluting effects caused by these two energies right now.

Therefore, when you control it, the impact on yourself will be more serious.

However, there is a limit to any negative pollution effect, and Cheng Shen is forcing his body to adapt to that limit.

though

So far, the effect of this has been minimal......

He "twisted" his bloated body and walked forward following the traces of the petrified ancestors.

The Scout Guards reported back a scene where the Petrified Ancestors had already engaged the monsters in the mine.

"Roar!"

"Whew!"

On one side are the claw-wielding petrified ancestors with their bodies as hard as steel, and on the other side are the twisted creatures with severely distorted bodies, and the two groups of monsters meet head-on in the wide mine tunnel, and the fight is already in full swing at this moment.

And the petrochemical ancestors, who all have leader-level strength as a whole, are obviously superior.

Especially when the professional power they inherited from Cheng Shen began to take effect, the battle situation was even more one-sided.

"Roar!!"

One of the aberrations that emerged from the depths of the cavern was a gigantic one, covered in distorted fleshy tentacles and swollen tissue dripping with pus, and its head resembled a wriggling hive.

Burst!

One by one, the cysts flowing with mucus were spit out by it, like cannonballs, exploding in the petrified ancestors, and the turbid yellow slurry suddenly splashed all over the whole body of the petrified ancestors, like yellow maggots wriggling!

"How can there be such a disgusting thing!"

Cheng Shen condemned while tugging the writhing tentacles out of his mouth.

Fortunately, he recruited thirty petrified ancestors as cannon fodder in advance this time.

Otherwise, Cheng Shen couldn't imagine how he would fight this kind of thing!

Blood Clotting Arrows!

Sou!

He instantly condensed more than a dozen blood arrows and blasted towards the monster, and the bursting blood arrows instantly exploded its body into a mass of pulp, and Arjeka immediately replenished it with a cloud of solar flames, burning it to ashes in an instant.

[Hint: Kill the Tainted Brood, experience +3500!] 】

……

The hint that rose in his ears softened Cheng Shen's cold gaze slightly.

Although these monsters are disgusting, I have to say that the experience is unusually rich.

Kill an Elite.

It's worth the benefits of a boss unit of the same level!

Call!

The blood mist formed by the explosion of the blood arrow spread out in the cave, like a scarlet rain, falling evenly on each monster's body.

Poison of Blood!

Septic madness!

If there is substance, blood-colored flames immediately burn on the surface of these monsters.

High damage numbers quickly swipe the screen!

The efficiency of Cheng Shen's attack was suddenly even more terrifying than that of the thirty petrified ancestors combined, and in the blink of an eye, all the polluted monsters in the field were killed, leaving only piles of completely incinerated ashes on the ground.
