A few days later.
Complicated crypt passage, in a dark pit.
Su Lun lowered his breathing as much as possible, and his eyes were looking dignified hundreds of meters away.
There is a humanoid monster wandering around, hunting in the cave aimlessly.
There are some human clothes and equipment on it, but it has completely turned into a swollen monster like a giant.
Su Lun looked at the monster, his finger was already on the trigger of the musket filled with alchemy bullets.
As long as it comes over, it will blow its head with one shot.
【Distorted Human】
Detailed explanation: Unable to bear the curse, the power erodes human beings deformed into monsters, and has a strong auditory perception. They don't have much wisdom, only the instinct of hunting and killing.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the monster to wander away in the other direction, and did not get close to where Su Lun was hiding.
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh...how many strange creatures are there in the ground..."
This is not the first time he has encountered such a monster.
Three days ago, when he walked out of the secret path, he met one of them.
Because I didn't know the sinisterness of this cave at that time, I didn't know that the sound of walking and stepping on rocks would also attract this extremely sensitive monster.
Fortunately, after his eyesight increased, he found it in time.
This thing rushed like Roshan, and almost didn't give him to GG on the spot.
Distortion monsters can't get close at all, otherwise you can break your face with a huge disgusting rotting mud if you just open a wound.
is extremely corrosive and has a foul smell.
Ordinary bullets are useless at all, hitting it is like hitting in a puddle of mud.
"Boer~" makes a bubble, which has no effect.
Fortunately, Su Lun was prepared and consumed a few such "high-explosive" alchemy bombs.
Shooting accurately, exploding violently like a howitzer, only to smash the monster.
But there are not many alchemy bullets on his body, and there are not only this kind of monsters in these caves.
If he hadn't awakened the "Pupil of All-Knowing", his night vision ability would have been greatly enhanced. With that simple alchemy night vision device alone, he would have died many times along the way.
Su Lun thought this cave world was a large mine or a cave.
But the underground space is so large that it is unbelievable. Not only are there remains of human cities, but there are also complete ecosystems under the ground. Various animals, plants, monsters...hidden in various dark corners.
Have you seen a forest of fluorescent mushrooms tens of meters high?
Have you ever seen a lizard the size of a dinosaur?
Have you ever seen a red-eyed mouse passing by like a locust?
More than ten meters long, have you ever seen a centipede with a thousand legs?
Have you seen that kind of giant tentacle monster with eyes all over the wall?
Su Lun had never seen him in his previous life anyway, and in just a few days, a lot of weird knowledge has been added to his mind. Under the appraisal of the "All-Knowing Eye", many strange and strange creatures were also known.
Most of these crypt creatures are weird and disgusting. They feel like deformed creatures after nuclear radiation...
This living environment is simply terrible for humans!
......
Su Lun was afraid that the monster hadn't gone far, so he simply stayed in the pit for a while to replenish food and water.
"Judging from the map found in the bald storage ring, we should go to a B-level area with a high frequency of human activities. Maybe we can meet other hunting groups, and it is best to find someone to ask the situation first... "
Su Lun looked at the map with the marks, checked the food and water reserves, and estimated that his ration was probably a human gathering city that could not reach the end of the map.
Alone, he has always been cautious, and has not dared to shoot and kill those crypt creatures at will, for fear of causing more trouble.
The experience of the past few days has also enabled him to gradually have a more accurate concept of this mysterious world with extraordinary power.
There is such a huge city ruins in the underground world, which shows that a large number of humans lived here thousands of years ago.
Moreover, the bald Ivan and the others are also some kind of miners. That team seems to be a "wild hunter" who specializes in venturing in the caves and searching for supplies.
The paleness of their complexion is not due to descent alone, but the paleness that has not been exposed to sunlight for a long time.
Su Lun suspected that even the destination he was going to was not on the ground, but underground.
However, all this is speculation.
Wait a few more days, if he can live to the "destination", it will probably be clear.
...
After a short while, the feeling of fullness of the food made Su Lun feel that his glycogen was sufficient and he could move on again.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and took out the [Pestoia's brooch] that was in the storage ring before.
Over the past few days, Su Lun has been thinking about the unknown information that says "??" on the brooch.
The mystery that Pestoya was burned to death has been perplexing him.
An abandoned manor abandoned for thousands of years, a ghost species, an obviously suspicious story...
As if a piece of puzzle is missing a "critical link".
Suren, who has watched more than a thousand horror movies and cleared countless horror games, always has an intuition that there is a problem with this brooch.
And there are so many strange supernatural powers in this world, it's a big trouble if you don't know it.
If you don’t know, forget it if you are confused. But since he was suspicious, Su Lun didn't plan to keep this "probably thunderous" thing by his side.
is far enough away from the manor now, and he no longer worry about triggering any bad things.
Without hesitation, Su Lun dug a hole in the stone pit, then buried the brooch and marked it.
thinking that if there is no problem, wait until his cognition can identify the hidden information on it, and then dig it out.
He didn't know. Not long after it was buried, a certain will in the brooch awakened, and a babble that seemed to come from the abyss sounded: "Hey...Did the kid find something?"
...
Su Lun didn't know, just a few days after he left the "Storm Manor" from that secret route, a team of men in black quietly arrived.
In the dilapidated manor, a blond young man in a pink suit is drinking coffee leisurely. It seemed that the ghastly atmosphere before him had long been commonplace, and it didn't affect his mood at all.
After a short while, the subordinates of the blond youth have violently broken open the "cursed space" full of weird puppets.
A burly man in a black suit walked over with a box and reported: "Master Evan, there is a ‘ghost species’ in the cursed space in this manor, and we have already killed it."
The strong man speaks very relaxedly and seems to be very experienced in handling such things.
After a pause, he opened the box to display the trophy, and then said: "This is the'cursed object' found after killing the weird. It should be the source of this cursed space. Master Nick has already identified the curse. The quality is high and the utility is very good..."
The blond boy glanced at the black butterfly brooch in the box, and saw that it was feminine products. He didn't have much interest. He waved his hand and said, "Ms. Teresa likes to collect these accessories and send them to her mansion when they return."
The brawny man in a suit respectfully said: "Yes, UU reading master."
...
These people seem to have the same "treasure map" of Su Lun. They quickly passed through the underground tunnel, and then through the maze, they found the shattered altar.
The blond boy is still looking forward to the legendary relics of the "Twilight Cross", the most mysterious and powerful alchemy organization of the last epoch that shocked the elders. I imagined that if there was such an altar as the deciphered content recorded in the manuscript, then he might be able to awaken a legendary super talent ability.
I didn't think about it, but soon I heard a "bad news".
The captain of the suit guard came over with a slightly ugly face, and reported: "Master, we have found out that the basement is indeed consistent with the content deciphered in the [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript]. But the ancient altar in the secret room has been destroyed. There is no way to carry out the sacrifice ceremony at all. And..."
The blond youth vaguely felt that he would hear bad things: "And what?"
The brawny man in a suit said: "Furthermore, after our careful investigation, we found traces of human activities in the basement recently. So we judged that the altar might have been triggered by someone..."
Hearing this, the blond youth said angrily: "It's possible! We are the only people who know this information!"
After the huge gap with the treasure, he suddenly thought of something and said angrily: "Damn it! It must be the old guy from the Regardi family who is making trouble again!"
"Where are the ancient city ruins over there?"
"Someone has been sent to investigate, but no one came back alive... preliminary judgment, the danger level is at least ‘red’."
......
On the other hand, after Su Lun walked for a few days, he finally met a living person.
