The vertical staircase passage seemed to lead to hell, and the dark space exuded a biting chill, and the darkness that seemed to swallow everything had an uncomfortable damp smell that only made the air dull.

The sound of running footsteps.

The breath of humanity.

None of this should be in a dungeon that has long since been reduced to ruins.

"Leave it to me......"

When Chen Bofu said this, he slowly walked to the front of the team, and his body entered a state of energy in an instant, like a fluctuating black mist, gradually involving everyone.

Perhaps it was these black fogs that blocked some of the perceptions of the outside world, so the unpleasant sense of depression also subsided a lot.

"Let's go down and have a look."

Chen Jing is very confident in the strength of the old man, although he is the resuiser of the deep space sequence, but after all, the sequence level is too low, and the ability to save his life may be stronger than the old man, but if it is actually ...... Touching his conscience, he said that he himself didn't think that he could compare to half of the old man.

The higher the sequence level.

The greater the difference between each grade.

At this point, after Chen Bofu recovered his strength, Chen Jing's feelings were even deeper.

Because now that he has been promoted to Sequence 4, he is much more sensitive to energy perception than before.

As long as Chen Jing was a little closer to the old man, he could feel an indescribable terrifying aura from the old man's thin body.

These breaths are unusually aggressive, like the pollution of the wasteland, like some strange source of pollution.

However, at this time, the old man deliberately suppressed these breaths, as if he was afraid of bringing pressure to the people around him, and the others did not perceive this terrifying energy......

"It's long enough."

Chen Bofu led everyone to move quickly to the bottom of the stairs, and the dark fog seemed to have turned into a liquid state at this time, like a mass of black water that was constantly squirming rapidly in the staircase passage, and went down to the depths without a sound.

In the process.

Chen Jing has been using his keen perception to observe the outside world.

He only noticed that the footsteps in the dungeon were getting farther and farther away from them, as if they were deliberately distancing themselves from them.

By the time Chen Bofu led everyone through the passage and into the interior of the dungeon, Chen Jing could no longer hear the strange footsteps.

"it."

While the old man gradually recovered his body, Kui Nan also saw the scenery in the dungeon clearly, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation in horror.

At the same time, Yan Que also drew his staff and sword.

The blade became transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting a slightly dazzling white moonlight.

Although no one present would be affected by the darkness without light, Yan Que still wanted to use the moonlight to illuminate the area...... It's not that she's afraid that she can't see clearly, but she just feels more secure when there's light.

"Here...... Contaminated ......"

Chen Jing looked at the city in front of him, which seemed to be made of flesh and blood, and only felt that there was a pungent fishy smell in his nostrils, which was the smell of rotten blood and some still trembling corpses.

This dungeon is far bigger than Chen Jing imagined.

Even though it has been reduced to ruins due to the revival of the ancient gods thousands of years ago, and has buried most of the city with loess and boulders, only this relatively well-preserved area remains...... At least a quarter the size of the Eternal Night City.

"I didn't expect that there was such a large space hidden under the ground of the Western Continent......"

The city, called "Bliss", was built in a huge underground space, with a distance of nearly a kilometer from the surface and the dome.

There are many unknown totemic indentations on the dome, and some empty grooves can be faintly seen, as if something was embedded here.

"I've heard the elders of the temple say that the decoration design of Elysium City is extremely gorgeous and extravagant, and because of living underground for a long time, the atmosphere in the city will become too depressing, so some high-ranking old people have taken action......"

Qiao Youning put her hands in the pockets of her coat and looked up at the cracked grooves in the dome.

"They hunted some very rare polluted species, sealed the eyeballs of those polluted species with secret techniques, and embedded them in the dome of the city as the sun, moon and stars."

Saying that, Qiao Youning showed a puzzled expression again, and seemed to be puzzled how this city could become like this.

"But the elders didn't say that the dungeons would be polluted to such an extent."

Yes.

The city has been polluted by some of the remnants of the old days.

Housing construction, street streets.

Everything as far as the eye could see turned into wriggling crimson flesh.

It was as if this city was a living giant creature, and Chen Jing and the others walked into the body of this giant creature step by step.

This kind of eerie picture.

It only reminded Chen Jing of the residential building in the community where Aunt Hong and they lived.

"Did the old gods make it?" Chen Jing wondered.

"Not necessarily." Chen Bofu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "The taste here is different from that of the ancient gods, it seems to come from another ancient source. ”

At this moment, Jerry Mouse had already hidden in the hood of Kui Nan's coat, as if all this in front of him frightened it, and it didn't even dare to take a second look.

"Those footsteps are gone." Chen Jing said quietly, his eyes full of vigilance, "The breath of those living people has also disappeared. ”

"Whatever...... Chen Bofu smiled, he didn't seem to think that there was anything terrible about this blood-colored dungeon, "The top priority now is to find that treasure house, take the things and leave quickly......"

Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but nod.

Although "Xi" apparently agreed to their request to visit its house, who knows what the ghost thing thinks in his heart, and no one dares to guarantee that it will not change his mind, so he still has to hurry up and get down to business.

"Let's go."

Chen Bofu took the lead in walking towards the ruined city, and everyone hurriedly followed, Chen Jing and Yegotos walked at the back of the line, and the old man took care of him one after the other.

"This is supposed to be a residential area on the edge of Elysium." Qiao Youning walked in front of Chen Jing and said while looking around, "It's similar to the architectural style recorded in those ancient books, they are all cylindrical pigeon buildings, and a building can accommodate at least a few thousand people......

"Why does this place look so weird......" Kui Nan looked at the constantly wriggling windows on the outer wall of the residential building, only to feel that it was like a mouth that was about to choose someone to eat, and his heart was furious.

And at this very moment.

Chen Jing suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Subconsciously look back.

I saw that the scarlet street behind me was full of "people" with pale skin.

They appear silently.

When it was discovered by Chen Jing.

These "people" even showed disgusting smiles.

"Fine...... Did the elders of your temple say that...... What do the inhabitants of Elysium look like? Chen Jing frowned and looked at these hateful-looking humanoid creatures, although there are all kinds of strange things in the world, but the appearance of these people is indeed a bit excessive.

"I didn't say that."

Qiao Youning immediately shook her head, as if she didn't want to get too close to these "weirdos", and subconsciously took two steps back.

"But I don't think those residents will look so disgusting."
