Nangong Wuyue left a protective barrier around those soldiers who died unexpectedly to ensure that their bodies could safely escape the attack of the beasts in the mountains tonight. Naturally, other Royal Army soldiers will come here to look for these missing soldiers tomorrow morning. Soldier. She and Hao Ren didn't rush to report to other outposts in the mountains - because it was difficult to explain why two foreign mercenaries who hadn't applied for patrol duties and hadn't filed a record would appear near the Royal Army's fortified area in the middle of the night. Right now, people in Layton Town are in panic, and the Royal Army and the Church Army are tense. It would be better to have less trouble in this regard.
However, not long after she and Hao Ren left, she suddenly felt that the enchantment she left behind was touched by some kind of strange energy, and then an incredible change occurred in the environment of the enchantment, and she immediately called Hao Ren to stop : "Go back! There is a situation!"
Hao Ren didn't know what was going on, but he followed Nangong Wuyue and ran back to the place where the war dead stayed, and both subconsciously restrained their aura. When they returned to the small open space, they just saw an unbelievable scene: the bodies of those who died in battle were gradually being swallowed by the earth!
I saw that the solid rocky ground surged as if it had softened into mud, wriggling silently and quickly to drag the remains of the soldiers into the ground. The scene was as strange and inexplicable as a swamp full of life. The remains of many soldiers had already disappeared, leaving only a small amount of bloodstains and the bloody smell that could not dissipate for a while, and the rest of the corpses were almost completely swallowed up. When Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue arrived, they only had time to see A few 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 weird scene. He wasn't good at concealing his aura at first. At the moment of the sound, the "mud" that had been devouring the body suddenly stopped for a moment as if it had sensed something, and then sped up its movements suddenly, while suddenly splashing out more than a dozen "muds" to stab Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue.
As soon as the "mud" left the "mire" below, it quickly hardened, and when it flew into the air, it had already turned into sharp stone thorns!
At this time, Nangong Wuyue's body was too big to dodge, so she had time to subconsciously curl her tail to prepare for a tough fight, but Hao Ren's many days of practice finally paid off. At this time, the reaction was quick and he rushed forward, blocking all the stone thorns. The sharp and extremely strong stone thorns erupted on the shield with a piercing sound like gold and iron. It crackled and shattered all over the ground.
And Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue were also temporarily blocked by this sudden situation. When they realized it, everything was over: all the corpses in the small open space had disappeared, and only a little blood and a few scattered items were left on the scene. Equipment, the softened ground that was still surging like a quagmire just now has also recovered. Hao Ren stepped forward and felt that it was a solid stone.
"What happened just now?" Nangong Wuyue meandered forward with some fear, bent down and touched the stone on the ground. He tapped around with the tip of his tail again.
The data terminal floated in front of Hao Ren with a flickering light: "Just now we detected a magic energy reaction, but we moved quickly as soon as we got close to it. Judging from the sensitivity of the transfer and the counterattack just now, someone should be monitoring here, but I don’t know where it’s hidden. There’s no one in radar range.”
"Did the corpses be swallowed into the ground?" Hao Ren was thinking about another question. He just watched the corpses of those soldiers being swallowed by the earth. The scene was weird, but it reminded people of what he saw at the lakeside post. The suspicious camp they arrived at: the same scene after a fierce battle, the same blood and bloody smell, and no corpse in sight. "Dig it down and have a look!"
As he spoke, he released an autonomous machine from his portable space. This little tentacled monster was surprised by the surrounding environment, and then received instructions. It forms its own tentacles into a ring of drills under its body, and the tips of the tentacles burst out with bright blue fire. The whole body spun rapidly and dug down.
Hao Ren chose the excavation site where one of the corpses disappeared. He felt that if the corpse was swallowed by the earth, there would at least be some clues left directly below. Bring some unremarkable rocks and gravel.
"It's gone?" Hao Ren was very surprised. "Could it be absorbed by the Dragon's Back Mountain Range?"
The word "absorption" came to him subconsciously, but it suddenly reminded Nangong Wuyue next to him. The sea demon girl immediately held her breath and pressed her body against the ground carefully to feel it carefully. Hao Ren saw that she was a little bit like this. Curious: "What are you looking for?"
"Water. The water I left behind, and the water in those soldiers." Nangong Wuyue frowned and searched carefully, "I will remember the water I have been in contact with for a short time, no matter where they are, I can feel them, even Turned into steam, even really absorbed by the mountains... I can feel that water is moving deep underground, very fast."
Hao Ren immediately stopped talking, and let Nangong Wuyue slowly sense that the latter had fully stimulated her natural power, and her consciousness was rapidly extending along the water in the atmosphere and soil everywhere. The form was slowly sketched in her mind, using water of different concentrations as lines and colors, to depict a three-dimensional image that was vaguely similar to the real world but had many differences. The Longji Mountains are a dry, unpleasant gray-white in this image, and become more and more so as you go down. Only a few dark rivers flowing in the culverts in the mountains are bright blue. Among these strange colors , a shimmering color was moving quickly under the ground—and was about to leave her sensing range.
Nangong Wuyue immediately raised her body, subconsciously let out a hissing sound from her throat, and quickly swung her long tail to chase in a certain direction: "Over there! Quick!"
Before Hao Ren had time to ask about the situation, he hurriedly followed.
They ran quickly in the mountain road, and soon left the normal road and entered a primitive mountain that was difficult for ordinary people to set foot in. The strange rocks are jagged, the slopes are high and the road is steep, and it is almost impossible to gain a foothold. Nangong Wuyue was chasing after the shortest route in the induction, so naturally she didn't care about choosing a path while chasing. However, the road conditions were not a problem for the two of them: Hao Ren jumped between the rocks with light steps, and felt no different from walking on flat ground. Nangong Wuyue was even more relaxed. She raised her upper body and part of the snake's height, The tail glides quickly on the rugged mountain or even the rock wall, as smoothly as seventeen or eighteen gyroscopes...
In this situation, Hao Ren still had time to joke: "You're pretty safe."
Nangong Wuyue smiled slightly: "You searched the Internet for a piece of 'the most stable mountain parkour video in history', and I uploaded it. My record is holding a DV from the top of Huashan and rushing all the way down the mountain without turning on the electronic anti-shake. There are only two blurred frames—the realm of shooting, those who play with equipment will never understand.”
Hao Ren was taken aback for a while: "What's the point of this?"
Nangong Wuyue continued to show off her water snake waist anti-shake technology while being proud: "Post online to cheat clicks!"
Hao Ren felt that the daily life of this group of aliens was so fucking rich, how boring was it to come up with this idea
Chasing all the way like this, they found that they had unknowingly arrived at a place in the deep mountains that no one seemed to have ever set foot in: surrounded by rocks on both sides, and the road stretched down in a zigzag way. A deep valley between mountains, if seen from a distance, must be covered by layers of rocks.
Nangong Wuyue sensed that the water vapor in the depths of the ground was no longer moving fast, but was slowly drifting towards the valley, while spreading and gradually rising, it seemed that it had reached its destination and was undergoing some kind of weird transformation.
"Just in front," Nangong Wuyue lowered her voice and body, "be careful, I smell a strange smell, which makes people very uncomfortable, and the water elements here are restless, they seem to be forced to carry out some kind of change."
At the same time that Nangong Wuyue and Hao Ren finally found some clues, Vivian and Lily had already returned to the lakeside outpost and entered the tunnel they had discovered before.
They were heading in the opposite direction from last time, and the tunnel stretched before their eyes.
All the way to the underground.
