Chapter 136: Deep in the Mountains, Strange Creature
There is no sun or moon in the sky, and the whole world is dark.
However, with Chen Fan's ability, as long as it is not an absolutely dark environment, his vision will not be affected.
The special operations team has night vision devices, but Ran Manjun does not wear any auxiliary devices, and he moves as freely as in the daytime.
"Master, I think the air here smells better than the Kunlun Small World. Ran Manjun's sudden words made Chen Fan's heart sink to the bottom.
From the moment he stepped into this world, he was already feeling a little uncomfortable.
It's cold and oppressive, the air seems to be filled with a fishy smell, and I always feel that something is about to move in the dark.
It felt like sleeping after watching a horror movie as a kid.
It seems that behind the door, outside the window, and under the bed, a black shadow in the shape of a human figure will appear at any time.
Even he was like that, let alone the team members. If it weren't for the combat uniforms that wrapped them whole, I'm afraid I would have seen their pale faces and beads of sweat long ago.
But for Ran Manjun, such an environment seems to be like a fish in water. There is only one explanation for such a change.
She became more and more like a creature of the underworld.
......
The ground beneath your feet is hard earth and gravel, and the geography here is a bit like the Gobi Desert.
There was not a trace of green, not even dead plants.
However, half of the bones buried in the soil can often be seen, which also proves Chen Fan's conjecture.
If these bones are not from ordinary fierce beasts, it means that the underworld creatures here cannot be resurrected indefinitely. And like the beasts, they will kill each other, and they may be even more cruel and intense.
"Master Chen, there's an underworld creature in front of you. ”
Climbing over a hill, on what seemed to be a dry river, a slender canine creature was stumbling forward.
It was hairless, and its skin was red with some black lines and patches.
The body length is about two meters, which can be called petite for a fierce beast that is often five or six meters long.
From the outside, it looks like a large hyena that has been skinned, and its exposed teeth are hideous and terrifying.
"Master Chen, do you want to do it?" asked Captain Jiang with his gun raised.
Chen Fan waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Let's take a look first." ”
With Chen Fan's strength, he didn't see the level of qi and blood from this creature. But he could clearly feel that this guy didn't have aura in his body.
And just when Chen Fan and the others were secretly observing, a monster shaped like an earthworm drilled out of the soil.
The monster was limp and oily, about the thickness of an arm. Because it is not fully out of the ground, it is difficult to know its overall length.
But just the exposed part is close to three meters.
And where it appeared, about five meters behind the hyena. The visibly weakened hyena seemed to be unaware of the crisis behind him, and continued to stumble forward.
At this time, the strip-shaped monster that made Chen Fan feel disgusted also spit out a piece of net.
If you look closely, it looks like a forked tree trunk, and the whole is white. After being spit out, it continued to spread forward as if it were alive, and finally climbed onto the hyena's body.
There was no fierce biting fight, just so quietly, the hyena was completely encased, and then it was dragged underground.
Ran Manjun and the others shuddered, looked at the ground under them, and felt that the whole person was not good.
Captain Jiang quickly calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Master Chen, do you want to lure this monster out?"
"No, I don't. Chen Fan Zhengse said: "Our purpose is to confirm whether there is value in developing this world, and whether there is a powerful threat. ”
The two underworld creatures he had seen so far, although they had terrifying appearances, were not real threats in Chen Fan's eyes.
At least they hadn't encountered the same monsters that the previous team had encountered.
The crowd went around the valley and moved on. After walking for less than an hour, I encountered many strange creatures on the way.
However, most individuals are not strong and are not social creatures. Some ignored it, and some were solved by Chen Fan.
As he expected, the creatures here didn't have the terrifying ability to recover from the skeletal monster. This is good news for a long time.
But in the same way, they have not yet found any value in this world worth exploiting.
Unlike the Kunlun Small World, which has all kinds of elixirs worth studying and cultivating, it is not as rich in minerals as the Jade Void Small World.
The land here is barren, scarce, and potentially dangerous, making it unfit for human habitation.
The most important thing is that the content of aura here is extremely low, and instead it is rich and chilling yin. Even if it costs a lot of manpower and material resources to transform it into a livable place, it will not be beneficial to the cultivation of the human race.
After all, not everyone is like Ran Manjun.
From the moment she came in to the present, Chen Fan could clearly feel that her realm was improving, and she was about to break through the third layer of the day after tomorrow.
"Master, I feel a little strange......"
On the way, Ran Manjun suddenly covered his chest, his expression a little painful.
"What's wrong?" Chen Fan hurriedly checked her, only to find that she had broken through.
So casual?
Ran Manjun pretended to be uneasy and lay in his arms, pointed to the distance and said, "Master, there seems to be something there." ”
"Can you feel it?" Chen Fan looked over there, and a rolling mountain shadow could be seen in the haze.
Seeing Ran Manjun nodding, Chen Fan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then go and take a look, if there is anything wrong, tell me immediately." ”
"Hmm. ”
The so-called lookout mountain runs a dead horse. Although it looked quite close, the group walked for nearly three hours before finally reaching the foot of the mountains.
The mountain is not very high, and the peak can be seen at a glance. The strange rocks are craggy, and there is not a trace of greenery.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, you can't see the edge of the mountains.
And Chen Fan found that the cold aura here was much weaker than in other places.
"It's inside!" Ran Manjun pointed to the depths of the mountains, his face inexplicably excited.
Continuing to go deeper, climbing over the mountains, everyone gradually noticed the abnormality.
Ever since they stepped into the mountains, they hadn't encountered any creatures along the way.
"It's almost there. With Ran Manjun's continuous prompts, everyone's mood couldn't help but get nervous.
What is there in the depths of these mountains......
The top of the mountain.
Looking down, there is a huge swampy basin. In this geographical environment, there should not be a swamp here. And the surface of the swamp is still bubbling with bubbles, like black sesame paste heated by high temperatures.
"Down there!" Ran Manjun pointed to the swamp that seemed to be boiling, and his excitement was speechless.
Then, she noticed that the air was a little solid. When she turned her head, everyone, including Chen Fan, was staring at her.
Ran Manjun sneered, "Why don't you throw a few grenades inside?"
"Where's the fried fish?" Chen Fan tapped her head and threw the corpse of an underworld creature that he had planned to bring back for research into the swamp.
After the corpse fell to the swamp, it began to sink slowly. But at this moment, the surface of the swamp suddenly stirred.
A deep sound came from under the swamp, and the eardrums began to tremble like a beaten drum, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Then, in the midst of everyone's nervousness, a huge serpentine creature emerged. After wrapping up the corpse, pull it deeper into the swamp.
Chen Fan looked at it fixedly, and then realized that it was not a snake at all, but a tentacle!
It looks like an octopus's tentacles, and there are suckers on it.
In astonishment, another tentacle emerged and reached straight towards the top of the mountain.
"Master Chen!?"
"Fire. Chen Fan did not hesitate to pull Ran Manjun behind him.
Although the target seemed to be very large, he felt that the tentacle was aimed at Ran Manjun.
With the fierce gunfire, the tentacle was shattered. Finally, as a howitzer exploded, it shattered into two pieces from the middle.
Airplanes!
The unpleasant muffled sound came again, and the whole swamp danced, and bubbles swirled.
Rumble!
The mud gushed up, and a huge silhouette appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
He has a human-like face and two exaggerated double horns on his head. In addition to the mouth full of mud and filth, there are rows of yellowed fangs.
The upper body alone is more than thirty meters tall. However, he has no limbs, instead a bunch of tentacles from the waist down.
This is like the image of an evil god in a game film and television, and Captain Ran Jiang and the others subconsciously retreated. Only Chen Fan and Ran Manjun, one is quite calm, and the other is full of dementia.
It's like seeing the bone monster for the first time in the small world of Kunlun.
"Master Chen, please evacuate first!"
Captain Jiang and a group of team members stopped in front of Chen Fan and shot at the monster's face.
The black mud splashed seemed to be mixed with red blood. Like the bone troll, this monster's defenses are extremely fragile, not even comparable to some acquired beasts.
But its frightening appearance and body shape still make people worry about it.
"Don't worry, just say hello, it's rude to just leave. "The only one who can stay calm is estimated to be Chen Fan.
"Manjun, wake up!"
"Huh?" Ran Manjun woke up from his dementia and immediately muttered, "Master, it seems to be in great pain. ”
Looking at the monster roaring wildly, Chen Fan only felt anger.
"What else?"
"It doesn't seem to get out. ”
Can't get out? Chen Fan's eyes lit up.
No wonder, this monster has been bullied to the door, and it is just whining.
Although its tentacles are long, it can't reach the top of the mountain. They are completely invincible!
"Captain Jiang, give me a hard beating!"
Chen Fan doesn't care if this counts as bullying or not, no, bullying little monsters. For this potential danger, of course, it is better to eliminate it as soon as possible.
Immediately, under the indiscriminate bombardment of Captain Jiang and others, although the monster was not directly killed, it seemed to know that it was powerful, and hurriedly sank into the swamp.
"Hmm, dare to come out?" The next second, several tentacles stretched out.
Captain Jiang and the others were about to continue the attack, when they saw a huge mouth burrowing out of the surface of the swamp.
With a diameter of about ten meters, countless sharp teeth are staggered and orderly. On the edge of the giant mouth are dancing tentacles.
Viewed from above, it looks a bit like a blooming hell flower. The tentacles are flower petals, and the big black mouth is the heart of the flower.
"It's disgusting. Chen Fan was about to ask Captain Jiang to feed it a few bombs, when he suddenly felt a strong pressure coming.
In an instant, the wind blew violently, and the rocks at his feet flew up and fell into the completely open mouth.
"Let's go!"
