What makes Luo Yuan a little strange is that he didn't see any trace of his teammates walking. If it weren't for the coordinates in the watch, which definitely showed the location of the sinkhole, he would almost doubt that he had seen it wrong. .
He frowned and looked carefully at the huge sinkhole. After a while, he found a slope at the corner. The slope was extremely steep, almost vertical. From Luo Yuan's visual inspection, it was about sixty or seventy degrees.
The slope is rugged and steep, and the surface is wet and covered with moss. It looks extremely slippery and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff. However, for Luo Yuan, who can already fly, no matter how steep the slope is, It's all just idle, all he needs is a place to stay.
Of course, he could also fly in directly, but not only was it dark inside, but the terrain was unknown, and the situation below was even more blank.
If it were a normal mission, even if it was a D-level mission, Luo Yuan would not be so cautious. However, this mission is extremely dangerous and is an unprecedented D+-level mission. This means that this mission is very likely to encounter dark green-level missions. super creature.
Such a rash entry, with the "sluggish" reaction speed when flying, once noticed by the super creature, would be the end of a dead beast with no bones left. Faced with such a terrifying and unknown enemy, no matter how cautious Luo Yuan was, No exaggeration.
Luo Yuan quickly walked to the corner, glanced down, took a deep breath, and jumped down.
Without any buffer, he let gravity pull his body and whizzed down. Three seconds later, he stepped on the rugged rocks with his toes several times, quickly relieving the terrible momentum.
He was traveling extremely fast, and the surrounding environment quickly dimmed. Half a minute later, he was completely in darkness.
The light here is very weak. This bottomless abyss swallows up almost all the light. Even Luo Yuan's low-light vision is greatly reduced here. If Luo Yuan's perception is not still there, he may not be able to move forward.
At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly stopped. There was no road ahead, and there was a huge space under his feet.
This sinkhole is like a huge gourd consisting of two spheres, one large and one small. The space above is only a small part, and the space below is wider and vaster, as if it is an underground world.
Luo Yuan did not jump directly. He closed his eyes and listened quietly for a while.
The silence here was terrifying. Only the sound of running water came clearly from below. It was obvious that the bottom was not far away, but other than that, he did not hear any movement.
After nearly a minute, he slowly opened his eyes.
He noticed that the moss on the nearby rocks had disappeared, and even the common insects and ants were nowhere to be seen. It seemed that there was no life here and there was no danger at all. However, this is just an appearance, a hidden crisis, reminding Luo Yuan all the time that this place is extremely dangerous!
He hesitated for a long time, finally made up his mind, gathered his breath, and jumped down.
Ten seconds later, he landed lightly on the ground.
After arriving at the bottom of the sinkhole, the place didn't seem too dark. Luminous rocks were dotted around, making the place look dotted with stars, as if it were in the night sky.
Through the dim light, Luo Yuan found that he seemed to be in a forest. Countless weird and twisted gray stone pillars stood ruggedly and densely, and the edges could hardly be seen clearly.
It is not accurate to say that it is a stone pillar. It is a fossil of a forest. After passing one of the broken stone pillars, Luo Yuan can see the rings of growth rings that exude a jade-colored luster.
Perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, it should have been a forest, but due to the changes in the sea, the original forest was buried by floods and then sank. Over the long years, this place turned into a stone forest composed of petrified wood.
As Luo Yuan moved forward, he could see fossils from the Carboniferous period from time to time, ancient dragonflies five or six meters long, giant centipedes more than ten meters long...
Luo Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart. He discovered that the Carboniferous Period was very similar to the present. It was also an explosion of plants. The coal belonging to this period accounted for more than 50% of the world's reserves. It was also a period of biological giantization.
However, Luo Yuan quickly vetoed it, as there was no comparison at all.
Regardless of the terrifying nature of creatures and the prosperity of plants, the Carboniferous Period is far from being compared with the present. If the Carboniferous Period is a period of great prosperity of life, it is still considered normal, then the end of the world is simply a transition period of life. An ordinary life can change in just a few years. One's life level can jump rapidly in just one year and evolve into the super life category. This is a mysterious phenomenon that cannot be explained by existing theories.
The sound of running water kept coming from ahead, but strangely, Luo Yuan didn't see any river nearby. He didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it was still ahead.
Luo Yuan noticed Wu Qianru's location, which was less than three kilometers away from him. Luo Yuan took the time to send her a message, but received no response.
But it makes sense. This stupid terminal has no response when receiving information. If you don't pay attention all the time, you won't know when the information is sent.
But it is certain that the other party is still alive, because the mission has not been cancelled, it is still hanging there!
In the stone forest, he hunched his body and walked forward slowly and quietly. The distance of three kilometers was neither short nor long. For Luo Yuan and those super beings, it was just "nearby". ", although Wu Qianru was already "in sight", Luo Yuan did not dare to be careless at all.
Due to the nature of the system, there will never be any opportunistic missions. D+ level missions must be as difficult as D+ missions.
As time went by, the sound of running water in front became clearer and clearer. At this time, he suddenly stopped, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. Through the dense stone forest, a liquid like mercury appeared in front of him, and it was rushing. Flow this way.
It seemed to be alive. It shuttled quickly through the stone forest like a snake, raising its head from time to time and shaking left and right, as if it was looking around.
It is very huge, about fourteen to five meters long and more than half a meter wide. Its surface is rugged and constantly flowing. It has no body in the normal sense. At a glance, you can't even tell where the head is and where the tail is. , or neither.
If it hadn't shown a strong biological nature, Luo Yuan would have doubted whether it was a living thing.
Seeing it approaching here quickly, Luo Yuan quickly hid aside.
After the strange snake passed Luo Yuan, it did not stop at all and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Luo Yuan looked at the leaving strange snake with a solemn expression. This creature was completely beyond his imagination. With its liquid-like body, a knife might be useless against it.
What's more, what weighed heavily on his heart was that the sound of running water in front of him did not completely disappear due to the departure of the strange snake. Instead, it became louder and louder as it got closer.
Finally, ten minutes later, he climbed onto a huge petrified wood and gasped.
I saw a huge "mercury" lake hundreds of meters away, suddenly appearing in front of me!
The lake rolled and surged from time to time, like a pot of boiling thick porridge. At the edge of the lake, countless strange snakes separated from the "mercury" lake from time to time and disappeared into the distance. Countless strange snakes returned from all directions. Blending in here, it seems extremely busy.
What made Luo Yuan's scalp numb even more was that a young woman was "sitting" in the middle of the Mercury Lake. Maybe sitting was not accurate. In fact, except for her chest and head, the rest of her body had completely disappeared and turned into a part of "mercury".
However, what is incredible is that she is still alive, and although her face is numb and desperate, and her skin is gray and bloodless, there is no expression of pain on her face at all.
However, it seemed that she could not hold on for much longer. Countless "mercury" granules were intertwined and slowly but firmly extended towards her chest. At this speed, within a few hours, the entire body would be eroded by mercury.
