The strong light of the flashlight pierced the darkness in front, and no one knew what was waiting for them at the end.
The excavation trace of the tunnel is relatively smooth. Fortunately, the downward slope is not so steep, so it will not slide down when walking. It is not like walking on flat ground, at least it is easier to walk.
"Come out."
Luo raised his right hand and called out the black cat.
The black cat appeared and landed on the ground in front of the line.
"Look ahead." Luo looked at the black cat and ordered.
Nowadays, the trading relationship between black cat and Luo is more and more in-depth, so black cat is not as rebellious as it was at the beginning, and it is not so inconsistent in cooperation.
When he heard Luo's words, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and went towards the front of the tunnel. In a twinkling, he disappeared into the public's view.
Cockroaches come out of the ground through many tunnels, so deeper tunnels may be complicated, and Dongba's detection ability will be weakened in this terrain.
At this time, it is the best choice to let black cat, a mental creature, explore the way.
We can't foresee what danger is waiting for them in front of us. As small as the trade-off between luminous algae and flashlight, we should consider as much as possible.
Here After all, it's the dark continent. The twists and turns after landing have made them realize the characteristics of the dark continent.
The team moved forward in silence with different attitudes.
Dongba is afraid to go home, but he can only stick to Luo to protect himself.
Bishi was surprised by the special nature of the dark continent, but more experienced and calm.
On this underground trip, she hopes to meet some rare original stones. If she can find the precious stones left by ancient human beings or carved by nature, it would be the best.
Bruna's insight is naturally limited to the crabs on the rocky island. After encountering a few waves of terrible biota, she is really an eye opener.
Luo may not be as calm as bisji, but he has a little yearning, ready to open a veil, to see the face under the veil.
It doesn't matter whether it's beautiful or ugly.
Following the tunnel, the black cat did not send a warning, and the road was calm.
The tunnel twists and turns, and there are many forks in the way, and the slope becomes more and more steep, almost approaching the angle of 45 degrees. Even if you just sit down and make a little effort, you can slide a distance.
Obviously feel the change of slope, I don't know where the end is, and how many meters will go straight into the ground.
Thirty minutes, sixty minutes, ninety minutes
Down, down, down.
After 90 minutes of silence, we never met any danger, let alone the active cockroaches.
Where did those fierce cockroaches come from? I thought I would meet many on the way to the ground, but I didn't want to, but I was so quiet.
The speed of driving is not slow. After walking for two hours, the length of the tunnel is nearly 30 kilometers. Although it is not straight down, the depth should be not low.
Darkness, narrowness and stillness are all factors that will have a negative impact on human beings, but they will not affect Luo and Bishi. Even Dongba, after several baptisms, has shown its ability to resist pressure.
Presumably, if Dongba can walk all the way safely, when facing the Ant King, maybe it won't be affected by the terrible atmosphere.
Two hours and fifteen minutes later, the black cat, who was exploring the way ahead, turned back.
"Five hundred meters further on, it's the end. I don't know how much underground space there is." Said the black cat.
Underground space?
"Is there a fork in the road?" Luo asked
"No The black cat returned.
"I see."
Luo nodded, and the party continued to start.
There is no specific direction of the road, finally came to an end.
The length of 500 meters was soon finished. People came to the exit of the tunnel, which was about two meters above the ground. When they came to the exit, they could feel a weak wind coming.
Luo raised his flashlight and swept around. The light broke through the darkness. He could see that it was an empty underground space. When the flashlight was up, the light couldn't reach the top.
However, looking up, there is a small silver light spot as big as the tip of a needle. Maybe it is the hole that fell into the abyss and left it on the ground.
Dongba's idea didn't warn of any danger. They jumped to the ground and swept around with flashlights. They could see all kinds of strange rocks.
There are needle forest like sharp stone array, flat but hollowed out stone groups with several holes, and stone forest shaped like dead trees. Only no living things and plants can be seen. After careful observation, we can find some tiny traces of living things.
The team took a rest for a while, replenished their physical strength and moisture, and then chose a direction to move on.
Here, it seems that the vast underground space can be compared with the earth.
The team walked for another ten minutes or so, and lo and Bisky stopped almost at the same time."It smells of blood."
The smell of blood was carried by the breeze from nowhere.
Luo and bisji smell it, while Nian, who is responsible for Dongba's detection, doesn't know anything.
This shows that the smell of blood comes from at least three kilometers away.
The smell of blood means fighting.
As the terrain becomes wider, considering the potential threat of cockroaches, it is necessary to discuss whether to go to the place where the smell of blood comes from.
However, Luo and Bishi belong to the daring type of skilled artists. They didn't think about it for a long time, so they decided to go and have a look.
Five minutes later, the crowd came to the place near the smell of blood. There was no movement around. Dongba didn't detect any living creatures.
Under the light, it turned out to be a mess of bodies.
The first body to be seen was a crocodile, with a white skeleton on its back and a lizard like head. The eyes were blocked by a thick layer of skin, and it seemed that the pupils could not be seen.
The corpse of the white bone lizard is basically intact, but there is a deep concave in the middle of the face, which seems to be caused by a blunt impact injury with great power. What makes Luo and bisji more concerned is that there is a scorch mark in the blunt impact injury.
It's like the white bone lizard died after being hit by a red hot hammer.
Walking around for a while, they were basically the bodies of white bone lizards, and each body died of a heavy blow on the head or face.
Judging from the degree of eye degeneration, the white bone lizard should be a pure underground creature.
The body died of blunt impact, and the smell of blood was deeper.
Luo and his party did not make any more stopovers. They asked Dongba to maintain the detection, and then continued to go deep.
There are more and more corpses on the ground, not only white bone lizards, but also other two kinds of corpses.
One looks like a silkworm, and the other's back is up. It's human.
In a hurry, the human body was less than 1.5 meters tall, with a pair of thighs that did not match the size, which was very conspicuous.
