Chapter 356 Discovery

Nangong Wuyue left a protective barrier around the soldiers who died unexpectedly to ensure that their bodies could safely escape the attacks of wild beasts in the mountains tonight. By tomorrow morning, other soldiers from the Kingdom's Army would naturally come here to look for these missing people. Soldier. She and Hao Ren did not rush to report to other outposts in the mountains - because it was difficult to explain why two foreign mercenaries who had not applied for a patrol mission and had not registered appeared near the Royal Army's defense position late at night. , now people in Leyton Town are in panic, and both the Royal Army and the Church Army are nervous. It would be better to have less trouble in this area.

However, not long after she and Hao Ren left, she suddenly felt that the barrier she left behind was touched by some strange energy, and then the environment where the barrier was located experienced incredible changes. She immediately called Hao Ren : "Go back! There's a situation!"

Hao Ren didn't know what was going on, but he immediately followed Nangong Wuyue and ran back to where the war dead were, and both of them subconsciously restrained their auras. When they returned to the small clearing, they saw an incredible scene: the corpses of those killed in the war were gradually being swallowed by the earth!

The solid rocky ground seemed to have softened into mud and swelled up, silently and quickly squirming and sucking the bodies of the soldiers into the ground. The scene was as strange and inexplicable as a living swamp. The bodies of many soldiers had disappeared, leaving only a small amount of blood and the smell of blood that could not be dissipated for a while. The remaining bodies were almost completely swallowed up. Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue only had time to look at them when they arrived. Several pieces of armor sank into the "swamp" at an astonishing speed!

"What's going on?!" Hao Ren couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw this strange scene. Originally, he was not good at concealing his aura. Now he found that there were no enemies at the scene, so he was naturally more relaxed. But just as he appeared At the moment of the sound, the "mud" that was constantly devouring the body suddenly paused as if it sensed something. Then, while suddenly speeding up its movements, more than a dozen "mud" suddenly spattered out and stabbed Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue.

The "mud" quickly hardened as soon as it broke away from the "quagmire" below, and turned into sharp stone thorns when it flew into the air!

Nangong Wuyue's body was too big to dodge at this time, so he had time to subconsciously curl up his tail and prepare to resist. However, Hao Ren's many days of practice finally paid off. At this time, Hao Ren quickly reacted and threw himself forward, blocking all the stone thorns. The sharp and extremely strong stone thorns erupted on the shield, making a harsh sound like gold and iron, and crackled to pieces.

Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue were also temporarily hindered by this unexpected situation. By the time they reacted, everything was over: all the corpses in the small clearing had disappeared, leaving only a little blood and a few scattered items on the scene. Equipment, the softened ground that was still surging like a quagmire just now has returned to its original state. Hao Ren stepped forward and stepped on it, feeling that it was solid stone.

"What happened just now?" Nangong Wuyue walked forward with some fear, leaned down and touched the stones on the ground, and tapped them around with the tip of his tail.

The data terminal floated in front of Hao Ren with a flickering light: "There was a magic reaction detected just now, but it quickly moved as soon as we got close. Judging from the sensitivity during the transfer and the counterattack just now, someone should be monitoring here, but I don’t know where it is hidden. There is no one within the radar range.”

"Did the corpses be swallowed underground?" Hao Ren was thinking about another question. He just watched the soldiers' corpses being swallowed by the ground. The scene was strange, but it reminded people of what he had seen at the lakeside post before. The suspicious camp they arrived at: it was also the scene after a fierce battle. There were still blood stains and bloody smell, and there was also no body in sight. "dig down and take a look!"

As he spoke, he released an autonomous machine from his portable space. This little monster with tentacles was first surprised by the surrounding environment, and then received instructions to arrange its tentacles in a ring under its body. The drill bit and the tip of the tentacle burst out with bright blue fire, and the whole body rotated rapidly to dig downward.

Hao Ren chose the excavation point where one of the corpses disappeared. He felt that if the corpse was swallowed by the earth, it would at least leave some clues directly below. However, the autonomous mechanical drilling machine drilled down for more than ten meters, but only found that Bring some ordinary rocks and gravel.

"Disappeared?" Hao Ren was surprised, "Did it get absorbed by the Dragon's Back Mountain Range?"

The word "absorb" was something he thought of unconsciously, but it suddenly reminded Nangong Wuyue next to him. The siren girl immediately held her breath and pressed her body against the ground to sense it carefully. Hao Ren saw that she was a little bit... Curious: "What are you looking for?"

"Water, the moisture I left behind, and the moisture in the bodies of those soldiers," Nangong Wuyue frowned and searched carefully, "I will remember the water I have come into contact with in a short period of time, and I can feel it no matter where I go, even if Turning into steam, it was actually being absorbed by the mountains...I could feel that moisture moving deep underground, very fast.”

Hao Ren immediately stopped saying anything and let Nangong Wuyue slowly sense that the latter had fully stimulated her innate power. Her consciousness was rapidly extending along the ubiquitous moisture in the atmosphere and soil. The shape was slowly sketched out in her mind, using water of varying concentrations as lines and colors to depict a three-dimensional image that was vaguely similar to the real world but very different. In this image, the Longji Mountains are a dry, unpleasant gray-white color, and it becomes more so as you go down. Only a few underground rivers flowing in the culverts in the mountains show bright blue. Among these strange colors , a shimmering color was moving quickly beneath the earth—and was about to leave her sensing range.

Nangong Wuyue immediately raised his body, hissed subconsciously in his throat, quickly swung his long tail and chased in a certain direction: "Over there! Hurry!"

Hao Ren didn't have time to ask about the situation before he rushed to follow.

They ran quickly through the mountain road, and soon left the normal road and entered a primitive mountainous area that was difficult for ordinary people to set foot on. The rocks are rugged and the slopes are high and the road is steep, making it almost impossible to stand on it. Nangong Wuyue was chasing after the shortest route he sensed, so naturally he didn't have to worry about choosing a path while catching up. However, this road condition was not a problem for the two of them: Hao Ren jumped between the rocks with light steps, feeling no different from walking on flat ground. Nangong Wuyue was even more relaxed. She raised her upper body and part of the snake height, The tail glides quickly over rugged mountains and even rock walls, as smoothly as if it was equipped with seventeen or eight gyroscopes...

Under this situation, Hao Ren still had time to joke: "You are quite safe."

Nangong Wuyue smiled slightly: "You go online and search for a video of 'the most stable mountain parkour in history'. I uploaded it. My record is that I held a DV and rushed down the mountain from the top of Huashan Mountain without turning on electronic image stabilization. Only two frames are blurred - the realm of shooting, those who play with equipment will never understand."

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "What's the point of this?"

Nangong Wuyue continued to show off his water snake waist anti-shake technology while his face was full of pride: "Post it online to deceive clicks!"

Hao Ren felt that the daily life of these aliens was so damn rich. How boring could he come up with this idea?

As they chased all the way, they found that they had unknowingly arrived at a place in the mountains that no one had ever set foot on: mountains and rocks on both sides formed a surrounding, and the road stretched downwards in twists and turns. The front seemed to be A deep valley in the mountains, if seen from a distance, must be covered by layers of rocks.

Nangong Wuyue sensed that the water vapor deep underground no longer moved quickly, but drifted slowly into the valley. At the same time, it gradually rose up while spreading. It seemed that it had reached its destination and was undergoing some kind of weird transformation.

"Right in front of here," Nangong Wuyue lowered his voice and body, "Be careful, I smell a strange smell, which is very uncomfortable, and the water elements here are restless. They seem to be forced to perform some kind of change."

While Nangong Wuyue and Hao Ren finally discovered some clues, Vivian and Lily had also returned to the lakeside post and got into the tunnel they had discovered before.

They were moving in the opposite direction from last time, and the tunnel stretched before their eyes.

All the way to the underground.
