Chapter 276: Captivity
It turns out that
As a princess, Princess Li Qingyan's holding skills are indeed much stronger than Ran Qingmo's ice mound.
After running around with him, he didn't feel dizzy at all.
If it had been changed to the way the big ice mound ran with his feet, he would probably have begun to retch on the ground by now.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan smiled unconsciously and patted his arms. The woman who held him in her arms said softly:
"Put me down first."
"Hmm."
Li Qingyan glanced at him with lowered eyes, bent down with a smile, gently put it down, and said softly: "Be careful." ”
“.”
Landing on tiptoes,
Looking at her tall and feminine figure, heroic and gentle, and her condescending red phoenix eyes, Xu Yuan's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably for a moment.
Hiss.
It's bad, how does it feel like he's a princess?
This bad girl really has too many eyes.
But the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he will bring it back in the future.
The corridor behind them was as black as ink, and the two of them were standing on the cliff that stretched out from the corridor.
There is no roof of the cave above, and there is no abyss below.
The wind at the Yongdaokou was cold and cold, waving his long hair, Li Qingyan looked into the distance, and his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Horse, this cave doesn't seem to have been formed naturally, and there are heavy traces of magic excavation.
"And,
"There doesn't seem to be that black dead fungus blanket in this cave."
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes half-narrowed at the inner wall near the cave next to the cliff.
As Li Qingyan said, the lush maroon fungus carpet came to an abrupt halt at the exit of the tunnel, and the inner walls of the cave were smooth and not naturally formed, and there was no vegetation entrenched on them.
And looking into the distance along the smooth inner wall of the cave, even with the Yuan Qi left in his body by Li Qingyan, Xu Yuan could not see the mountain wall on the other side of the cave at all.
some
It's just endless darkness.
And the underground giant city at the bottom of the abyss below the cliff is also hazy and hidden in the darkness.
Li Qingyan observed Xu Yuan's expression, and suddenly spoke again:
"Looking at your expression, it seems that your Prime Minister doesn't have any information about this cave and this underground city?"
Xu Yuan glanced at her and spit out a:
"Yes."
Words fall,
After a moment of silence, he added:
"But not much."
"Not much?"
Li Qingyan muttered no nonsense, and said directly: "Then do we need to go down and have a look?" ”
"Don't worry."
Xu Yuan groaned and did not reply, trying to recall the relevant information of the Dead Silent Underground Palace in his mind.
To be honest, he didn't remember such a behemoth underground ancient city in the Black Death Palace.
Fortunately, he soon managed to find a "map" that matched the surrounding scenery.
There is also a huge cave on the outskirts of the wild dungeon of the Dead Silent Dungeon, but it is only a dilapidated village of several broken houses and mysterious sculptures.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's expression was slightly strange.
It's not that he thinks that the change is too big, after all, the city that can be completed in more than ten seconds in "Cangyuan" has become a reality and has become a giant city where millions of people gather, and he has seen a lot.
Such a majestic ancient city appeared in the lair of strange ghosts, how strange it looked.
At the beginning, Xu Yuan didn't care about these artificial creations, after all, there was no information about strange ghosts in Cangyuan.
Combined with the strange sculptures in the village, as well as the immortal properties and disgusting tentacles displayed by the subsequent monsters, he defaulted to the fact that this dead dungeon was the stronghold of a cult or even the main altar.
According to the knowledge reserve in his mind, he directly made up a set of cults to kill himself, created a group of monsters through "sacrifices", and then played with fire and self-immolation to destroy his hometown.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all.
Xu Yuan stared at the secluded ancient city below, quickly summarizing the known information in his mind.
Do strangers build houses?
In other words,
Did the Aliens also have civilization?
"Then let's go down and have a look."
In the silence, Xu Yuan's light voice clearly entered Li Qingyan's ears.
didn't speak, Li Qingyan leaned down neatly, and held Princess Xu Yuan in his arms, his phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was soft:
"Just jump?"
“.”
The woman's body was soft to the touch, and Xu Yuan suddenly realized that it was actually quite good to occasionally experience this kind of tenderness that could not be resisted.
But how can a husband be depressed and live under others for a long time?
Xu Yuan glanced around and replied indifferently:
"Jump directly, the way out of this dungeon should be near this city."
With that, he silently reached out and hooked Li Qingyan's neck.
In the previous life "Cangyuan", the player fell into this dead dungeon in a cave, and the place where it fell was an ordinary tunnel near this underground ancient city.
In other words, as long as he and Li Qingyan found the passage, they would be able to return to the surface through the cave that reached the ground.
Silently, Li Qingyan stepped slightly, and the wind in his ears whistled again.
It was as if the bottom of the abyss shrouded in black mist quickly enlarged and cleared in front of his eyes, and when he was about to land, a faint and precise source qi emanated from Li Qingyan's body.
Then, the pair of jade feet wrapped in brown and red armor gently stepped on the bottom of the abyss
Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan walked side by side on the stone road to the ancient city with solemn faces.
Yes, stone pavement.
At the bottom of the abyss, a road was artificially constructed, and on both sides of the road there were large fields for growing crops.
And in this field, some strange-looking crops are being planted, like rape fields, but neatly, and it looks like the fruits on the hanging branches are about to ripen.
There was silence all around, only the footsteps of Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan.
Ban Yu,
Xu Yuan suddenly asked out loud:
"Qingyan, these crops can grow in the ground without sunlight, do you know what they are?"
Li Qingyan replied softly while guarding the surroundings:
"It's not the crops, it's the soil, and the soil under this black abyss is a hundred breath soil."
"Hundred Breaths?" Xu Yuan frowned.
"A kind of soil that can be planted with precious medicinal herbs, which is quite precious."
As he spoke, Li Qingyan winked at Xu Yuan, and said half-jokingly: "Just like what the horse said before, if we go out, we can make a windfall just by relying on such a vast Baixi soil under this black abyss." ”
Xu Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then asked in a solemn voice:
"Qingyan, you should be able to see traces of human activity here, right?"
Li Qingyan glanced at him and nodded:
"If no one takes care of it, even a hundred habitats will grow overgrown with weeds for thousands of years."
Xu Yuan looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer, touched his chin, squinted and smiled:
"That is, there are still people here"
The voice did not fall,
"Go!"
"Go!"
Two bowstrings sounded abruptly!
With the blessing of the Black Death Armor and the Blood Yuan Heart Technique, Xu Yuan, even if he was only a five-grade condensing soul, still captured the black shadow that attacked.
It's two giant crossbow bolts from above the city walls!
One shot at him, and the other shot at Li Qingyan.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan's eyes showed a touch of thoughtfulness, without the slightest intention of dodging.
And for a moment,
A white jade hand half-wrapped in brown and red thin armor appeared in front of him
"Hum—"
A shudder.
The strong wind lifted Xu Yuan's long hair, and the sharp tip of the arrow was less than half a foot from the center of his eyebrows.
The half-zhang-long giant crossbow arrow was directly grasped by Li Qingyan in his hand, and the tail end continued to tremble due to the strong inertia.
And the other giant crossbow arrow shot at Li Qingyan hit the heart, but it was directly shattered by her soft curves.
These two giant crossbows came from the ancient city.
However, without Li Qingyan's blessing of Yuan Qi, the pitch-black environment made Xu Yuan unable to clearly see the scene above the ancient city, and asked casually:
"It's a human?"
Holding the giant crossbow arrow, Li Qingyan looked at the ancient city with great interest, and asked in a clear voice:
"Looks like a man, kill him?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment:
"Is it dangerous, if not, take me over first."
Li Qingyan shook his head, his phoenix eyes flashing and staring at the city:
"No, those "people" on the city wall are no more than seven ranks. ”
More than one.
Xu Yuan frowned:
"Take me there."
Words fall,
Li Qingyan didn't say anything, and directly grabbed Xu Yuan's waist, which was a vertical leap.
Miles away, in an instant.
The two of them quietly landed on the sentry tower at the head of the ancient city, and Xu Yuan immediately heard a deliberately suppressed voice from below:
"The strangers are coming! Go and inform Lord Si Ming, and let the Blood Armor Guard prepare for battle. ”
"Don't stop, keep pulling out the bed crossbow and pull it off!"
Da Yan with a bit of dialect, but I can barely understand it.
Xu Yuan should be prestigious,
On the tower below, a group of scrambling "soldiers" were mobilizing before the battle.
They were dressed in a somewhat unusual way, probably because of the lack of materials underground, and their bodies were basically woven from some plants.
However, as a soldier, the soldiers on the walls of this ancient city seem to be a little unqualified.
Accustomed to seeing the elite of the Beifeng Army and the Black Scale Army, these people's preparations for war seemed a little funny to Xu Yuan.
Even, he saw some of them huddle in the corner of the wall for fear of direct disobedience.
However, the body structure of these people seems to be a little strange.
His fifth-grade condensing soul who had cultivated the blood-colored technique couldn't see the distance of miles away, and these people in the underground palace who couldn't fluctuate more than seventh-grade Yuan Qi could actually see him.
Xu Yuanzheng was thinking about it,
The group of "soldiers" below seemed to have finally discovered that something was wrong, and their voices were so frightened that they took on a trill:
"Chief, Chief? The two aliens were gone. ”
"What?"
The man, who was called the chief chief, turned his head sharply, saw the emptiness on the stone road, seemed to realize something, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice:
"Hold on, don't panic, just wait for Lord Si Ming to come over!"
As the voice of the "chief chief" came out, the panic still spread directly on the city wall.
Some soldiers with Yuan Qi on their bodies were panicked by the imminent death, and gradually lost their minds, gritted their teeth and scolded:
"Hold on? How to hold on?! This speed is clearly the one of those brindle monsters that can turn us into monsters! ”
"What kind of bullshit, wouldn't it be good to honestly give an offering to those monsters, to protect mortals? Isn't that what mortals use to make offerings? It's been like this for generations. ”
"It's all you bastards, when the priest is here, he also supplies two hundred mortals to that group of monsters every year, and it is the woman who ordered the priest to kill the priest!"
"Two years ago, Diyang City was directly slaughtered by those spotted ghosts, now it's okay, it's our turn, hahaha"
“.”
“.”
The chaos spread on the city walls, and without even seeing the enemy, morale collapsed.
Xu Yuan listened to the shouts below, and looked back to the side:
"Qingyan, what do you think?"
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes drooped and shook his head slightly:
"A group of vulnerable rabble, there is probably not a decent general in this city."
Xu Yuan smiled dumbly.
If Li Qingyan's soldiers dared to be so virtuous, it is estimated that they would have been pulled out and cut off their heads long ago.
Shaking his head, Xu Yuan said in a low voice, his fingers raised slightly, and pointed to the crowd below:
"I know, I mean the system of dungeons here, don't you think it's a little weird?"
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly:
"It's strange indeed, even the anatomy of the body has changed, and these people must have lived in this underground for generations since 10,000 years ago.
"But if according to what you said, the level of armament that their city is showing now cannot be continued under the hands of that group of strange ghosts, not to mention a product, even a strange ghost comparable to a third grade can slaughter this city."
"yes."
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the inner wall of the cave hidden in the darkness in the distance, and said faintly: "This is indeed strange. ”
The current situation has completely exceeded Xu Yuan's information.
At the very least,
In the dead and silent underground palace in "Cangyuan", Xu Yuanke has never met any living people, not even the dry bones of dead people.
Except for the ghosts, the only thing that can move is the player himself.
However, after listening to the words of the soldiers below who exploded out of fear, combined with the information he told when he chatted with Old Man Luo in his previous life, he still barely figured out the current situation.
First of all
The area covered by this Dead Silent Dungeon is really large, so large that there are far more than one of these underground pools and giant karst caves.
In other words,
In "Cangyuan", the dilapidated city he encountered was not the one in front of him.
It could be the "Diyang City" in the mouth of the soldier just now, or it could be something else.
secondly
The level of cultivators and armaments possessed by the "humans" living in these dungeons is completely incomparable to those strange ghosts entrenched in the dungeon of death.
For 10,000 years, they could only exchange for "peace" through "sacrifices".
But when you think about it, the problem arises.
Although Old Man Luo said that high-level alien ghosts have intelligence, they will continue to be worn out with the passage of time, and eventually turn into a beast that only knows how to kill and transform its kind.
In this case, why can the "humans" here be able to survive through sacrifices?
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan's brows furrowed a little, and he looked at Li Qingyan:
"Qingyan, I probably know what's going on here"
Li Qingyan also seemed to be thinking about this question, blinked, looked back and asked:
"This ancient city is for captivity?"
“.”
Xu Yuan was slightly surprised by the other party's intelligence, but after looking at this antique giant city, he sighed faintly:
"Yes,
"This dungeon,
"Most likely, it was a testing ground built by the Terrans 10,000 years ago to study creatures like aliens."
