"It's that monster, that monster is out again!"
"Run quickly, let's run into the passage. He's so big, he won't be able to get in!"
The crowd panicked again, and many people looked at the passage they came out of. Although it was a little weird, it was safer.
"Buzz!"
A huge figure rises from the ground, surrounded by a terrifying aura, and filled with mist. The atmosphere is extraordinary.
Only when it was completely revealed did Wang Ce see its original appearance.
The monster that came out of the ground has the head of a human and the body of a snake and has red hair!
"It's Gonggong, the water god. Is he still alive?"
Everyone was a little surprised and confused. This mythical creature suddenly appeared in front of them, and the visual shock was very strong.
Seeing these survivors from Dingshang Community running towards the passage, Wang Ce frowned slightly and then loudly stopped them.
"Don't panic, everyone. This is just a shadow. This passage is weird. Don't go in!"
Many survivors in Dingshang Community stopped panicking at this moment.
There was no one taking the lead before, so when I saw everyone running, I followed suit.
Now that Wang Ce has stepped forward to organize, everyone is willing to wait and see under the herd mentality.
After all, Wang Ce is known as the evolver at the pinnacle of Black Iron, and his vision, knowledge and ability must be far superior to everyone else.
A total of thirty-six people had just come out of the passage, and they were all huddled behind Wang Ce.
The eyes looking at Gonggong Xuying were a little nervous and worried.
"I am Gonggong, but the world is ignorant and respects the God of Fire but not me!"
There is a rich voice that comes from ancient times, which is deafening and enlightening.
Its language is not any familiar one, but it is strangely understandable. I am afraid that its language has transcended the scope of language.
Just like the Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques obtained by Wang Ce, the knowledge of the method is indescribable.
"Buzz!"
Gonggong's shadow did not show any power. Instead, it gradually dimmed, then turned into dots of starlight, dissipating into nothingness, as if it had never appeared.
"That's it? Is this what scared you so much that you ran into the passage just now?"
Wang Ce was a little confused. He almost looked away just now. It was obvious that the shadow of Gonggong was just an appearance.
I don’t know how many years ago this person was, how could he survive to this day?
And if it is really life-threatening, these early survivors of Black Iron may not even have a chance to escape.
"We have never experienced this kind of battle, and some goddamn person shouted for us to run into the passage, and everyone rushed in like a swarm!"
"Yes, if such a big monster suddenly appears, even if his body looks a bit unreal, who in the right mind would dare to stay here and watch?"
Wang Ce thought about it again and felt that what these people said made sense.
After all, not everyone is like me. Youyou knows everything. When in danger, you can hide in the four-legged bronze tripod.
"This passage is closed. What should I do? Professor Yuan and the others haven't come out yet!"
"Yeah, when we came out just now, the passage seemed to be compressed, getting narrower and narrower, and now it's closed directly!"
After the Gonggong projection dissipated, many survivors also regained their vitality. One of the survivors pointed at the passage that was about to be completely closed with a horrified expression.
"The material of this passage does not look like stone. It has wooden texture on it. Could it be some kind of mutated plant?"
Wang Ce touched the wall with his hand, looking a little suspicious.
Not long after, the only passage in the entire cave was completely closed, and not even a trace could be seen.
If everyone didn't know that there used to be a passage here, it would be difficult to see the clues.
"Bang bang bang!"
Outside the cave barrier, the treasure-hunting fish king was still hitting the invisible barrier angrily. Obviously, Wang Ce's actions completely angered it.
The survivors were also frightened when they saw the densely packed mutant fish outside.
I don’t know what the hell these two rescuers sent by the military did to anger such a terrifying group of mutant fish.
In fact, these mutant fish are not violent, and they will not even attack people actively.
Otherwise, everyone would not catch mutated fish again and again and eat them.
Strangely enough, this invisible barrier is only effective against humans. Humans can come and go freely, but other species cannot.
Looking at the survivors who were still in shock, Wang Ce suddenly changed his mind and said a little casually.
"You should all be survivors in Longshang Community, right? How did Professor Yuan separate from you?"
Wang Ce deliberately said the wrong name of the community to see how these people would react.
Sure enough, many people looked puzzled.
"Longshang Community? Young man, we are from Dingshang Community. There are only more than sixty survivors in total."
Wang Ce breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that these people were real survivors and not the phantoms of some bizarre beings.
He has encountered too many strange things in the past few days, which makes him a little nervous now.
The burly man should be quite prestigious, but now he was telling the whole story.
"I just mentioned that we were frightened by Gonggong's shadow, and we all fled into the passage. We didn't think too much at the time and just kept walking forward."
"I didn't notice anything special when I walked. Anyway, it was twists and turns and I didn't know the direction. But there was only one road and there were no forks, so everyone just walked on."
"We were just counting people on the way, and found that Professor Yuan Zhenhua, who was walking in front, and more than 20 survivors suddenly disappeared."
"At the time, I thought they were walking too fast, but we speeded up later and didn't meet anyone."
"In the end, as we walked, we found that the road behind us became narrower and narrower. We could only keep walking forward, and then we walked back here."
"We didn't meet anyone or encounter any dangerous situations along the way. We just walked back inexplicably!"
After hearing what the burly man said, Wang Ce was also a little confused. This was beyond his understanding.
The last time I encountered such a strange situation was at that special space node on the mountain behind the Mechanical and Electrical College.
No matter how hard you walk, you can't get out. No matter which direction you go, you will always return to the starting point.
I'm afraid that Youyou, who has a mysterious origin, might know something, but at this moment, Youyou was tugging at the corner of her clothes in fear, obviously unable to find any valuable clues.
"I understand your situation, which means that you were frightened and entered the passage, and you lost some of your people inexplicably along the way."
"Then you came back here by mistake. In fact, after you, the military sent a rescue team of nineteen people. Something happened to the two of us and we didn't follow the team."
"But Platoon Leader Han Fei and his seventeen people came in, and now you can see that there are some blood stains under this invisible barrier. These are the blood left by injured people after being attacked by a school of treasure-hunting fish. "
"In other words, this cave should be the same cave, but inside the passage, it is constantly changing."
Wang Ce sorted out the ins and outs of the whole thing. He seemed to feel that something was not right, but he couldn't tell which aspect it was.
"We didn't do anything special? Why are they trapped inside when we came back?"
Many survivors felt it was a bit incredible. Suddenly, the burly man seemed to have thought of something and said loudly.
"I understand. The guy just lost a gold watch. He said he just lost it. We went back dozens of meters to look for it!"
"Nothing was found. When I turned around, Professor Yuan Zhenhua and the others were gone!"
"Perhaps we took a different path, so our route also changed!"
The young man pointed at by the burly man smiled awkwardly, as if he felt that Professor Yuan Zhenhua's disappearance had a lot to do with him.
"Brother Wang Ce, there were thirty-six people just now, why is there one more now!"
Youyou pulled Wang Ce's clothes and spoke coldly.
As soon as these words were said, everyone broke into a cold sweat.
Wang Ce's breathing was also stagnant. He had specifically counted just now. There were indeed thirty-six people, but now, it had really become thirty-seven!
Who is this extra person?
"I just counted them, and they were indeed thirty-six people!"
If what Youyou said could still be regarded as childish talk, then Wang Ce's affirmation directly caused the survivors to explode.
Everyone looked at the people around them, gradually distanced themselves, and their eyes became a little suspicious and wary.
