The human soul hides an instinctive fear of darkness. To explore the darkness is to explore hell.
Not every section of the ground channel is smooth and unobstructed, and sometimes it is wide enough to run over big cars. Sometimes it is narrow and the passage must be dug out by hand. In some places, there are long underground waterways, which can only sneak past by feeling. The process of digging is very difficult, and sometimes it can even make people feel desperate. But the most frightening thing is to perceive the warm current in the dark water to find a passage. There seems to be an unknown terrible thing always observing oneself in the dark.
Being in a dark and cramped environment for a long time, people will be involuntarily fearful. Such a journey of exploration is undoubtedly a huge test of spiritual will. Fortunately, Ye San are very personalities. Even in such an environment, he still maintains a calm attitude and overcomes difficulties time and time again.
Evil relies on the two strange objects in the treasure gate, the Thousand Miles Lantern and the Ground-Grass Tiger to clear the way. The so-called Thousand Miles Lantern is a luminous gem that can store light sources. It is not a legendary god that can be used indefinitely. The external light source is charged in. The latter is a kind of ground digging tool developed by the seniors of Hou Baomen. It is like a tiger's claw when worn on the hand. It can quickly dig a passage and can also be used as a melee self-defense weapon.
In comparison, the process of escaping from the dungeon is much easier than exploring and finding the entrance, because there is a long section of the dungeon artificially excavated in the initial journey. Can greatly save the process of exploration. It took Eilai only a few days to escape from birth last time, but this in-depth exploration is like a blind man touching an elephant. It feels like groping deep underground. It is expected that it will take longer.
The three people are well prepared, and the items they carry are the nutrients needed to maintain the body for two months. If they fail to find a way to enter the dungeon within a month, they will immediately return the same way.
Entering the deep and dark underground for the tenth day, the friction power generation device that I carried with me lost its function because of water invasion, and I could only rely on the feeling of groping in the dark for the rest of the journey. Li Muye's night eyes played a big role at this time. So I changed to Xiaoye brother to dig a hole in front of him with his bare hands.
On the fifteenth day, they encountered a muddy underground swamp, wading through the mud of nearly fifty degrees for two days. And it was found that the oxygen in the air has been thinned to an unsustainable level. Even if the three of them have the ability to control their own consumption, they still have the limit. Li Muye was able to collect the abundant Yuanqi in the earth veins to balance his own state with his thought power, but Elai and Baiqi had to start using spare oxygen cylinders.
In the channel of the earth veins, you can occasionally encounter a special lichen plant. The last time the evil came, it was able to escape and ascend to the sky. It was this thing that supplemented the physical consumption.
After tasting it, Li Muye found that although this thing had a faint sulphur smell, it was almost equivalent to a crystalline elemental substance, which was easily absorbed by the body. After eating, there will be a little dizziness, similar to the sensation of drunken oxygen, but it can make the body enter a state of internal circulation, and it seems that the eyes are much brighter. After eating evil and white, it will greatly reduce the need for oxygen.
When they first entered the Earth Vein Channel, the three characters were well equipped, and they didn't even think about collecting this thing. Although he had eaten it before the evil came, his perception at that time was much weaker than it is now, and he could not perceive the beauty of this thing. After Li Muye tasted and discovered the benefits of this thing, the three people tried to collect this kind of lichen. plant. And instinctively follow the path that is more likely to produce this kind of plant.
On the 30th day, the three people still did not find a certain way to the underground city, but because of more lichen plant reserves, Li Muye decided to continue to explore. At this time, Brother Ono has been immersed in an indescribable feeling. He is in a state of high tension all the time, making his mental perception more acute, and his mental power extends beyond the body to explore the surrounding situation. Handy.
Eilai and Baiqi have even become addicted to hallucinations due to their over-reliance on this plant. Sometimes sober, sometimes confused, and have no idea of time. Like two hypnotized people, following Li Muye in a half-dream and half-awake state. Comparing the two, Bai Qi still had a little more when he was awake. From this it can be seen that the two teenagers who used to go hand in hand are now in different development directions.
On the fortieth day, the three people suddenly came to a very spacious place, and the oxygen in the air suddenly became rich, and even a little spot of light appeared on the stone wall, and there was a little visibility. There are a lot of lichen plants growing here, but the purity is many times worse than that in the dark environment. I even have a feeling of chewing plants in my mouth, and there will be a lot of residue after chewing.
Maybe it's because of contact with the outside world, and the physical properties of this thing are complicated, that's why this phenomenon occurs.
The oxygen-rich environment made Eilai and Bai Qi gradually regain their sanity, but Li Muye regretted to find that the sharpness and the feeling that everything was under control was fading. However, the mental power is undoubtedly much stronger than before entering the cave. Samurai Dong suggested that the three fingers that he specially exercised after these days of digging and sharpening, they are obviously stronger and stronger than before.
Just when the three people were about to explore this vast space separately, a dull loud noise suddenly resounded throughout the space. The three uncles and nephews were surprised and quickly followed the sound. They saw that the source of the sound was just above the side of this space. A big hole suddenly appeared, a strong airflow gushing in, and the temperature in the entire space rose rapidly. After about two minutes, the hole suddenly closed.
When the hole was spraying hot air, many bright spots that were hard to see by ordinary people were visible to the naked eye, and the visibility in this space was greatly improved in a short time. For Eilai and Baiqi, it can be regarded as reaching the point where they can't see their fingers. Although it still can't be regarded as reaching the standard, the total darkness than the previous one is still different. In Li Muye's eyes, such visibility is enough to fully utilize Yeyan's advantages.
Li Muye walked closer to observe under the heat, and found that the opening and closing of the hole were smooth and flat, which seemed to be some kind of artificial material, but he tried to dig it, but he didn't move. I wanted to use Qingyun Jianyue to dig, but after a second thought, I decided to wait for a while. About half an hour later, the hole suddenly opened again, still in accordance with the previous rhythm, and quickly closed after spraying for two minutes.
It looks like this should be an exhaust vent of the underground city's air circulation system.
Li Muye made a judgment and exhaled in secret, finally found a way.
Escape from the dungeon before the evil came through a similar passage, but that passage was much closer to the surface than the one in front of him, and it was much wider.
After forty days of arduous trek, the three people are now not thinking about whether this passage is spacious and bright. The oxygen here is abundant and the visibility is much better, but after all, it is not a place to stay for long.
The exhaust vent is opened about every half an hour, and the hot air will be discharged within two minutes and then closed. When the exhaust was exhausted, the heat rushed to his face, fiercely raging, and anyone facing him would be burned for a long time. Therefore, the hole can only be broken open with strong means when it is closed, and then passed through within half an hour...
PS: There is still a chapter in five minutes. My eyes feel a lot better today. I did overuse my eyes a while ago. (End of this chapter)
