Chapter 254 Why? !

tick, tick—

The sound of water droplets echoed in the tunnel-like cave.

The wet cave roof and rock walls are covered with green shimmering algae, providing a light source for this narrow cave passage.

"Men Qi, are you okay?"

Moyu's inquiry sounded in the tunnel.

He stood on the wet ground and looked back at Men Qi who was only a few steps away from him.

Behind Men Qi is a completely enclosed rock wall, engraved with several straight lines, which seem to echo the stone slabs dug out earlier, and may also be a medium of ability.

"I'm fine."

Men Qi nodded towards Moyou, and then looked at the green light algae growing on the rock wall, with surprise in his eyes.

If you observe carefully, the shimmering light emitted from the algae is like a pulse that flickers on and off, as if it has life.

It is also thanks to the glowing algae in this tunnel, otherwise, in such an environment, it would only be dark.

After confirming that Men Qi was safe, Moyou then observed the surrounding environment.

The location is a narrow tunnel.

Damp, cold.

It's just that both the ground and the rock wall are extremely flat, looking like a man-made tunnel.

But Moyou can't see any trace of artificial repair here.

How the tunnel was formed is still unknown.

"Spatial transfer ability..."

Thinking of the black curtain that rushed towards him just now, Moyou frowned slightly.

I really didn't expect that the mind after death had the ability to teleport, no wonder it didn't feel the slightest threat.

In a sense, teleportation abilities are indeed not offensive.

"This is troublesome."

was inexplicably teleported to a completely unfamiliar cave, and it was basically impossible to return to the second test.

even-

How to get out of here is still a problem.

Moyou's expression was slightly dignified, and he crossed Men Qi and came to the rock wall engraved with patterns.

「condensation」

Gathering Qi in his eyes, Moyou looked at the rock wall, but found no trace of Nian.

But in the current situation, it is basically certain that the engraved rock wall is some kind of medium similar to the coordinates of the teleportation point.

That's why he and Menqi were sent here.

Moyou tried to release his mind power to attach to the textured rock wall, but there was no response at all.

And the "mind elimination ability" in the depths of consciousness also did not respond, indicating that there is indeed no thought power on this rock wall.

But to send people here, you must need the support of "Nian"...

Moyou speculates that this teleportation ability may be a one-time operation, and all energy will be consumed after the teleportation is completed.

"Let's find a way to get out of this ghost place first."

Withdrawing his hand, Moyou sighed softly in his heart.

I wouldn’t regret “touching” the seemingly innocuous afterlife. I just thought that being here, I couldn’t expect to get a license this year.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Men Qi withdrew her gaze from looking at the green light algae, and turned to look at Moyou behind her.

Although she was teleported here suddenly, she was not afraid at all, let alone worried.

courage.

is an essential quality for food hunters.

Or-

is the quality that most professional hunters should possess.

"Go inside and see if you can find a way out."

Moyou came to Menqi and raised his eyes to look at the only passage ahead.

Men Qi nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said seriously: "Fortunately, I picked a lot of snow fruits on the way down the mountain, so I don't have to worry about food in a short time."

"Um."

Moyou glanced at the bulging backpack on Menqi's body.

The materials inside, besides Xueguo, there are also some unfinished dry food and clean water, enough to support them for a long time.

"Let's go."

Moyu walked ahead.

There are glowing algae everywhere in the tunnel, so don’t worry about the light source for now.

At the same time, you can judge whether the oxygen in the cave is sufficient according to the state of the algae.

Judging from the current situation, the situation is not too bad.

Moyou and Menqi walked along the tunnel, one behind the other.

This tunnel is not straight forward, there are uphill sections and downhill sections along the way, and it is curved like a winding path. Sometimes the road slopes to the left and sometimes to the right.

Although the road going in is quite tortuous, there is no fork in the road.

There is no need to choose a route, it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.

Anyway, Moyou and Menqi could only keep walking along this road.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the narrow and winding tunnel gradually became wider.

And a green light appeared at the end of the front, frozen there like a ghostly will-o'-the-wisp.

Moyou looked at the green light in the distance ahead.

no doubt-

The source of the green light must also be the algae growing in the cave.

It's just that compared with the green light around the tunnel, the green light at the end of the front is brighter.

Although he hasn't walked there yet, Moyou seems to be able to imagine some rough pictures.

Maybe in the unknown environment at the end, there will be an extremely large number of glowing algae.

"Stay alert."

Moyou reminded.

Men Qi responded.

soon-

Moyou and Menqi came to the end of the cave, but before stepping out, the first thing they saw was a huge inner space.

Countless luminescent algae are all over the rock wall as far as the eye can see, and the light emitted fills the entire space.

The cave they were in was located high in the rock wall, and there are hundreds of similar caves.

These openings are high and low, distributed on the rock walls in all directions like hanging coffins.

Below these caves, there is an underground city shrouded in deep green light.

"here is…?!"

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Moyou and Menqi were shocked by the sight in front of them.

Hundreds of holes distributed on the rock wall like hanging coffins, do they represent hundreds of transmission medium points?

The most incredible thing is…

At the end of the tunnel, there is an underground city that looks quite spectacular.

Moyu couldn't even be sure if this was the inside of Mount Alagasy.

and-

Moyou's eyes changed slightly, and he looked towards the center of the dusty dungeon.

There stands a giant spiral column, which looks like thick tree roots intertwined from a distance.

And on the root-like surface, distorted limbs and hideous faces can be seen faintly.

There are so many of them, poured like cement, it is hard to tell whether it is a corpse or a sculpture, and the whole body exudes a palpitating breath.

Moyou noticed the existence of this giant cylinder.

It wasn't because of the suspected corpse on the surface of the cylinder, but because he sensed the breath of "thoughts after death" from the cylinder.

Men Qi was still in shock, staring blankly at the large dusty building below.

"Master, have we discovered an underground ruins?"

"Maybe."

Moyou stared at the giant cylinder, and calmly said: "But the more important thing is to find a way out of here."

He is not a relic hunter. He doesn't have any deep feelings about the discovery of a relic hidden in the history of the years. Instead, he pays more attention to how to evacuate.

Besides, the giant column exuding an ominous atmosphere is like a time bomb, reminding him that this place is not an ordinary underground ruins.

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

Moyou first visually measured the height of the hole from the ground.

It's about fifteen meters away, with air protection, you can jump directly.

Afterwards, Moyou jumped down and landed firmly.

Followed closely behind, Men Qi also jumped and landed firmly on the ground.

"Give."

After landing, Men Qi took out a snow fruit from her backpack and handed it to Moyou.

Moyou took the snow fruit, settled it in two or three bites, and added some water.

"If no exit is found..."

Looking at the relic building that existed for an unknown number of years in front of him, Moyou's eyes showed seriousness.

There are hundreds of cave openings distributed on the surrounding rock walls, most likely the same structure as the tunnel they came in, and there is only one direct route to here.

Even if not, it would be very unrealistic to go in and find out one by one.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Moyou restrained his thoughts and walked towards the ruins ahead.

Under the green light, the silent buildings are like a ghost town in the dark, which is daunting.

Since it has the ability to teleport in, it may also have the ability to teleport out.

Moyou wanted to see if he could find similar stone slabs in the ruins.

"Hey, are you candidates too?"

Just as Mo You and Men Qi walked a certain distance, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Um?"

The two of them stopped suddenly and turned to look at the source of the sound.

At the entrance of a cave four or five meters above the ground, there was a man with a figure like a bamboo pole standing there.

Mo You and Men Qi were looking at the man with the bamboo pole, and the man with the bamboo pole was also looking at Mo You and Men Qi.

Both of them saw the number plate on each other.

"Hoo..."

Confirming that Moyou and Menqi are also candidates for the hunter test, the bamboo pole man couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Being able to see other people here means that he is not the only one who was sent here.

This possibility alone is enough to improve the bamboo pole man's mentality to a certain extent.

Compared to the bamboo man's joy when he found someone else, Moyou was a surprise.

Why are other candidates sent here?

As the instigator of triggering the teleportation ability, Moyou thought that only he and Menqi were sent to this unknown underground site, but he didn't expect that other people would suffer along with him.

The bamboo man in front of me...

When the teleportation ability is activated, it must happen to be nearby, right?

And then got involved in it unfortunately?

Moyou thought to himself.

The bamboo pole man naturally didn't know that Moyou was the culprit who sent him to such a ghostly place, so he jumped down from the hole and walked quickly towards Moyou and Menqi.

"How did you two get here? I was going down the mountain half an hour ago, and suddenly my eyes went dark, and then I came here inexplicably!"

"Just like you."

Moyou looked at the man with a bamboo pole who came over.

This is an ordinary person who doesn't know how to read.

This shows that the target selected by the teleportation ability is not limited to those with the ability to read.

"What the **** is going on? How did we get sent here? What the hell..."

The bamboo pole man scratched his hair vigorously, with a sad face.

In this case, the bamboo pole man, like Moyou, would not feel excited or happy even if he found the ruins in front of him.

Maybe there are many valuable antiques in the ruins that carry a certain period of history.

But if you can't leave here, no matter how valuable an antique is, it will only be a sacrificial object, meaningless at all.

Moyou looked at the bamboo pole man, but did not speak.

You can't tell the bamboo pole man that you were sent in by me.

Men Qi naturally wouldn't take up this topic, and let the bamboo pole man keep complaining.

at this time-

Another sound came from one of the holes in the rock wall.

Moyou, Men Qi, and Zhugannan couldn't help but look towards the location where the sound came from. It was a hole more than ten meters above the ground.

Following their gazes, they saw a short and fat figure rolling out of the hole, and immediately leaped to the ground.

"Ah!!"

The figure let out a scream.

Next second.

The figure hit the ground with a bang.

The violent impact caused the algae growing on the ground to ripple in circles of green light.

As soon as it landed on the ground, the screams of the figure stopped abruptly, replaced by wailing.

"Another one."

The bamboo pole man stared wide-eyed, his originally irritable mood calmed down a little.

It seems that the more people who are equally unlucky, the better he will feel.

Moyou looked at the person who fell out of the cave, his eyes gradually became weird.

"This unlucky child was also sent in?"

The figure that fell out of the cave was the rookie killer Dongba.

Seeing Dongba, Moyou was surprised, and suddenly realized that there might not be a small number of people sent here.

That is to say—

The transfer ability he triggers is regional, and it is very likely that people within a certain range will be transferred here directly.

Dongba lay on the ground and howled.

The last section of the tunnel he was in was a downhill terrain, and the ground was very wet. When he accidentally slipped, his whole body rolled downhill like a ball to the end.

I never thought that the entrance of the cave is more than ten meters away from the ground...

This fall almost broke his breath.

"Yes, there are others... that's great..."

Even though the fall was painful, Dongba felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Meeting other people in this unknown environment is not an exaggeration to say that it is a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Dongba breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his eyes to look at the person ahead.

With the help of the green light from the algae, he saw Moyu's face.

"..."

Dongba's face froze suddenly, and the wailing from his mouth gradually calmed down.

Mingming gave up the hunter test, and deliberately chose a route in the opposite direction to go down the mountain.

But why am I here? !

And why is this guy here? !

That is why ah? !

Dongba's eyes are dull, and he has nothing to love.

at the same time.

More and more sounds of movement came from the various caves like hanging coffins on the rock wall.

I saw candidates appearing at the entrances one after another.

Among them were three bearded men.

"Although I don't know how the 'transfer ability' is activated..."

Standing at the entrance of the cave tens of meters above the ground, the bearded man looked at the ghost town-like ruins shrouded in green light, with excitement in his eyes.

"But the spoils of the 'Monka Expeditionary Force' should be here!"
