0257 Investigate the bottom of the pit

Turn around and press your hand down, signaling that the battle crisis is over.

Li Ming sensed the dust for a moment, and found that in the passage at the bottom of the giant pit, there were multiple ring-shaped passages, extending in all directions.

"It's so deep, Jue Yinlong has been guarding the top of the cave all year round, probably because he can't go down to explore."

Li Ming felt that as far as the battle was concerned, Jue Yinlong was not afraid of the other party.

After the high level of weirdness, the primordial silver dragon appeared, and the abyss dragon was even less of an opponent.

But when they went to the underground pit to explore and pursue, the two dragons had no advantage at all, so they formed a long-term confrontation situation.

The advantage of the Abyssal Dragon is that the rodents have already spread widely on the surface anyway.

Then you just don't want to go up, and you can stay underground for as long as you want.

As soon as the leylines are connected, when the development is almost complete, it is not too late to take revenge.

But the primordial silver dragon stationed above the Abyss Hell has to suffer from rodent erosion all the time, so it's a bit uncomfortable.

On the human side, the inhabitants of the kingdom are even more miserable.

Because it may not even be possible to achieve the Abyss Dragon's plan, it will be seized by the strange monsters that attack the horde and be displaced.

Li Ming sorted out the situation and felt that he had to take the initiative.

However, even with the Tyrannosaurus Dragon's [Digging Through the Ground], it will probably be difficult for the Terra Piercing Dragon to compete head-on in the depths of the earth.

The best way is to guide it to the bottom of the empty crater of the Abyssal Hell so that it can better attack.

At the same time, the knights of the kingdom and the silver dragons can also carry out cooperative attacks.

But it is obviously not so easy to create such an opportunity.

So Li Ming returned to the camp and conducted research with the team members.

"In this way, the initiative is completely in the hands of the Abyss Dragon, and it is difficult to establish an advantage if you can fight in the underground passage."

Ni Shuangfang was embarrassed.

Hunters dabble in all kinds of underground caverns, though not new.

But if this giant pit is the underground lair dug by the other party.

It would be equivalent to an ambush operation after the hunter team was familiar with the terrain, and it was difficult to gain an advantage in it.

"If only there was something that would entice it to show up."

Chu Ying flipped through the book in her hand, eager to find a solution.

"It's difficult, Elgaard has been fighting for many years, and the ecological intelligence has been almost collected, if there is really a useful guidance method, it would have been widely used a long time ago."

Li Ming felt that there was little hope for the guidance plan.

"Puff~Meow."

Looking at the cloth cloth of the book behind Chu Ying, she suddenly covered her mouth and snickered.

"What's wrong, Boo?"

"Well, I just think the Abyssal Dragon is so stupid that it will dig through the bottom of the sea, causing the underground pit to be flooded by the sea, and the roar is even detected by Elgad."

Bubu informed.

"It's true that it doesn't seem like an adult ancient dragon can do something, but that giant crater is close to the coastal stronghold, and there are a variety of information corroborating each other, so it shouldn't be a rumor."

Li Ming also felt that this behavior was really outrageous.

"How about another pour?"

Midodo proposed.

"That huge crater is filled with seawater, and it doesn't seem to affect the underground passage connection, so it shouldn't be used."

Li Ming didn't feel good.

The next moment, a thought came to me.

"Wait, what if the Abyssal Dragon wasn't just stupid, but just couldn't detect the condition on the surface?"

Chu Ying speculated: "You mean to say. The Abyssal Dragon can't detect the surface conditions, but it has to spread rodents to inject energy into itself, so it can only dig and dig first? ”

"Yes, but every time I have to be unlucky, I finally succeeded in landing once, and the result was that the original Lord Silver Dragon rushed to the ground, and once again sent it back to the ground, so I didn't come out at all, and simply dug underground all day long, trying to introduce the leyline."

Li Ming confirmed.

"In this way, the perception of the surface is not clear enough, which is the biggest shortcoming of the Abyss Dragon."

Ni Shuang was stunned.

"It's no wonder that the Silver Dragon will be stationed at the top of the giant pit for a long time, it turns out that the Abyss Dragon may really appear due to lack of perception."

Chu Ying used to feel that Jue Yinlong's persistence was a little too paranoid.

After all, the Abyss Dragon had suffered a painful blow, how could it be possible to make the same mistake.

In retrospect, it's not unreasonable.

So Chu Ying picked up the map, but after a moment she sighed and put it down.

"It's a pity that the pit that has become the node of the leyline is not in the highlands of the city, even if it can guide the two silver dragons to go, if it can set foot in the human habitat, it is also one of the threats."

With this contradiction, the discussion that had just picked up seemed to be back to square one again.

Because the purpose of this operation is not to simply hunt the Abyss Dragon, but also to ensure that the interior of the kingdom is not invaded by monsters.

"It seems that we can only go down to the bottom of the crater and investigate further, but it is not convenient for you to move with the cat cart, so I will go with Midodo."

Li Ming said the deployment.

Although the dragon dust can sense the outline of the passage at the bottom of the giant crater, if it really wants to investigate the results, it has to explore the traces of collection on the spot.

However, for other members who do not have the ability to fly and dig, it is difficult to maintain a smooth movement.

What's more, there is also the possibility of encountering the Abyss Dragon at any time.

The team immediately set off, and under the watchful eye of Jue Yinlong, they approached the abandoned castle to carry out operations.

In the circular crater, mist and red points of light slowly rose upward.

"If you want to find valuable information, the time it will take is uncertain, you don't need to pay attention all the time, just keep an eye out for flares."

Li Ming reminded.

After all, he couldn't predict how long it would take to descend this time.

"Okay, be sure to pay more attention to safety."

"Wait for the guys to come back and eat the barbecue!"

Under the watchful eyes of the team members, Li Mingmi Duoduo flew down and fell into a huge pit like a giant mouth of the abyss.

After about six or seven minutes of flying and falling, Li Ming finally saw through the mist where the ground of the lower soil layer was.

Immediately lifted the drift and plummeted downward.

Bang~

The palm of his hand was pressed down, and a handsome knee fell to the ground, and Li Ming stood up.

The bottom of the circular pit is particularly open, and the ground is particularly flat except for a small amount of gravel and plants, as well as large paw prints.

"Ah, this is the barrel meow of a rapid-fire cannon!"

Midodo was particularly surprised to see metal parts half-hidden in the soil.

Because in this environment, loading a turret to face monsters is beyond imagination.

"It may have been airdropped as a weapon support when the operation was launched."

Li Ming looked up and speculated.

"What a great way to fight!. What if it is damaged?"

Midodo asked tentatively.

"Probably a new batch will be delivered, with the technology and financial resources of the kingdom back then, this investment is nothing."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy now, meow."

Midodo asked regretfully.

"Yes, but compared to the overall weakening situation, the kingdom is already doing quite well."

Li Ming felt that although the kingdom had not been able to give much support to the outside world.

But at least it didn't let the weird monsters flood out, which was not easy.

Poof~

The rodents attached to the walls of the surrounding pits sensed the arrival of creatures, and large swells flew in.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Ming let out a low roar.

Call~

Black and purple dragon dust poured out from the long hair, and the swirling rodents immediately dispersed and fled.

A person and a cat observe and identify oversized traces such as paw prints and tail dragging.

It was quickly concluded that these were all old traces, indicating that this pit had not been touched by the Abyss Dragon for a long time.

"The big pit on the edge of the stronghold has been filled with seawater, and the only way to access it is from here."

Li Ming speculated that there was a considerable distance between this place and where the Abyss Dragon was located.

But this is the nearest entrance, so I don't have to choose at all.

So he walked to the huge tubular passage on the pit wall on one side.

Chirp~tweet~

Three small pink tentacles emerge and point at the rodent clinging to the pit wall.

"Are these rodents any different?"

The small tentacles twisted and writhed, as if to give confirmation.

Looking up and staring for a moment, Li Ming came to a conclusion.

"Sure enough, the teeth on the suction cup mouth are sharper, and the body is much larger."

Li Ming stepped forward, wanting to get closer.

Poof~

The unusual rodent immediately fled.

"The vigilance is so high."

"Well, when they approached just now, you told them to meow."

Midodo reminded in a whisper.

"Well, I was a little louder just now."

Li Ming unloaded the [World Lord] and approached lightly again, but the rodents still flew away in large numbers.

"Forget it, let's study the corpse sample."

Li Ming was about to cut the ball and kill.

Small pink tentacles emerge at the edge of the fog ball hole, shaking violently.

"Can't you just kill it, so what are you going to do?"

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Ming felt that the little tentacles would not harm him.

Puff~

A tentacle turns around at the tip and pierces into the body.

This is followed by a rapid transition between expansion and contraction.

It's a lot like when a rodent draws blood.

"It makes sense to attract with blood."

Li Ming immediately dismantled Lanlong's gauntlet and cut his skin with a hunter's knife.

Puff~

A stream of blood poured out.

The unusual rodent doesn't react much at first, but when the blood flows to the pit wall, it's close enough.

A large field of rodents immediately took off and surged towards the wound on the arm.

Puff~Puff~

Since the wound is only a thin one, the worm that has no place can only gnaw to the side.

"These insects bite hard, and they are very experienced, if you find the gap between the monster's scale carapace, it is easy to bite through."

After Li Ming finished his evaluation, he noticed that with the injection of insect venom, the three small pink tentacles were also constantly expanding and expanding.

Since there was no need to transform the blood, the rodents swirled around their heads after they were full.

"Ugh! The insect trap was bitten through the meow! ”

Midodo was originally happy to capture the sample, but he didn't expect the other party to escape with sharp fangs.

"There is no need to capture and study Midodo, this should be a special swarm of rodents called the Rodent of Annihilation that is parasitic on the side of the Abyss Dragon."

Li Ming informed.

"I see."

After Mi Duoduo finished speaking, he immediately took out the atlas to find a comparison.

After all, the local area has studied the Abyss Dragon for so many years, and there have been crusades and battles, and the accumulation of ecological data must be sufficient.

"Found Meow! It's really a rodent of annihilation. But the surrounding area is full of old traces, which is completely unreasonable. ”

Midodo was in doubt.

The appearance is the same, and the characteristics are similar, but the insect swarm here is obviously not close to the life of the Abyss Dragon.

"It's a little strange, it's obviously a rodent of annihilation, but it doesn't inhabit around the Abyss Dragon, is it left behind, no, rodents have homing instincts."

Li Ming, who was thinking, looked up and soon had a new speculation.

"Is it used to demarcate unsuitable landing areas?"

"What do you mean?"

Midodo was puzzled.

"It's similar to the principle of the dyeing ball, but this is used to demarcate the danger area, for example, at the bottom of this pit, there are both rapid-fire cannon parts remaining, and the silver dragon is stationed above, indicating that the Abyss Dragon must have tried to land here in the past, and the only successful one was achieved in the giant pit called the Abyss Hell Hell, that is, the landing here ended in failure."

"That's why I placed the Rodent of Annihilation to remind myself not to crawl around!"

Midodo was stunned.

"Yes, even if it has a weak perception of the ground, it can effectively warn itself, but aren't these huge pits dug by itself? Deliberately made a warning, was it accidentally confused? ”

Li Ming felt that the Abyss Dragon might have suffered a big loss, and he was scared by Jue Yinlong, so he was so cautious.

"It won't come back anytime soon, otherwise it might be able to guide it to the surface from here."

Midodo sighed.

This new ecological discovery is indeed very valuable, but unfortunately it cannot be applied at present.

"Here."

Li Ming opened the map.

The discovery of the location of this deep pit is simply to meet the battle.

First of all, the highlands of the city fortress are originally a hunting area, and strange monsters gather here to fight and die, and they can't even reach the wild public camps, let alone the interior of the kingdom.

In addition, there is also a silver dragon above, so the hunters stationed in the stronghold can participate in the battle without having to advance too far.

"What a pit."

Li Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked around the cave wall.

"It's a pity that this isn't the leyline node that the Abyss Dragon wants to connect."

"Well, maybe we can start a plan to mislead the Abyssal Dragons here, but before that happens, we'll need to screen the swarm."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he let the pink tentacles manipulate the rodent of annihilation.

After all, as long as the Abyss Dragon noticed that there was such a living warning sign on the pit wall, it would definitely retreat.

Most of them, willing to follow the command and guidance.

Probably after absorbing Li Ming's blood, he felt good.

A small part still flew back to the rock wall, continuing to cling to it.

"My Li Ming's pure blood is not sucked in vain."

The [Lord of the World] loaded, the dragon dust drifted and overflowed, and the concentration in the air soared rapidly.

Rumble! Rumble!

After a series of purple flames exploded, the rodent of annihilation that still held on fell to the ground.

One person and one cat carefully collected the corpse and erased all traces.

Towards the huge circular passage, spread out and travel.

The pitch-black passage is surrounded by strips of digging marks.

One person and one cat didn't walk for a while, and a sense of insignificance emerged in my heart.

It's like two little rats, walking through a thick cement pipeline.

Li Ming identified through the soil, the dust was released, and the seismic waves of the rock wall reverberate, constantly exploring the appropriate path to move forward.

After walking like this for three days, a dull rumbling sound of excavation in the distance was finally detected by the exploration.
