"Still Two in One"
remains?
Ye Zhongming repeated this sentence, but felt a little confused in his heart.
He has naturally heard of the word ruins, but is there such a place in the apocalypse?
However, he didn't believe it just because he hadn't heard it. In his previous life, his status was really low and he didn't understand many things, so he was hesitant to believe it.
However, Ye Zhongming also felt a little excited in his heart. If this relic was really something he didn't know about, then it meant that he would once again unveil a little bit of the mystery of the end of the world.
"Is this the news you heard?"
Lin Yixun shook his head, "No, ruins are just what we call these stone bead mining sites. The news I heard is that these stone beads can be used in the clear water barrier."
Ye Zhongming's body suddenly tensed up, wondering if these stone beads were really useful?
"Bright water barrier?"
But Ye Zhongming immediately heard a word, Mingshui Barrier?
"Well, I don't know exactly what it is, but I heard someone in charge said that."
Ye Zhongming nodded, mostly convinced.
Lin Yixun had been locked up here for more than half a year, and he definitely didn't know the news from the outside world, but he heard about the Mingshui Barrier, so he didn't know about the Mingshui Feast. From this point, it was basically certain that he was not lying.
At the same time, Ye Zhongming had some guesses in his mind. This time, the Mingshui Feast would not be held in a sub-space, right?
He knew that the earth originally did not have this kind of subspace, so once there is such a thing as a barrier, it must be a roulette item. So is it a place similar to a special roulette space?
But the special roulette space cannot be controlled by the evolver, so what is the clear water barrier?
If he couldn't figure it out, Ye Zhongming stopped thinking about it. He would know it when the time comes.
"Tell me about what's going on here." Ye Zhongming sat next to Lin Yixun and listened to him tell everything about the mine.
………………………………………………………………
The direction of the mine began to wind downwards at some point, and the signs of man-made changes in the surrounding passages became more and more obvious. It was obvious that the tunnels here were opened in a much more hurried and rough way than when they first came in.
This road was told by Lin Yixun to Ye Zhongming, saying that he could go to a very secret mine that was rich in stone beads.
Although it is not yet clear what the use of this thing is, Ye Zhongming decided to get some and put them in the space. Maybe they can be used.
I just walked all the way, but still didn't find anything. Lin Yixun obviously said that he would know where the stone beads are produced if he sees them, but now there is nothing. Is he not there yet, or is that guy lying?
Ye Zhongming walked forward for a while and then stopped.
Under the light of the torch, something foggy appeared in front.
This kind of fog is very, very light. In such a dark tunnel, if it weren't for Ye Zhongming's good eyesight, he really wouldn't be able to detect it.
He carefully walked to the fog, took out a dagger from the space, thrust it in and then pulled it out. After a look, there was no change in the dagger. He touched the tip of his finger slightly again and immediately moved away. After feeling it for a while, he found nothing unusual, and then cautiously passed through the fog.
Upon reaching this side, Ye Zhongming turned back and looked at the mist again, wondering why such a thing existed.
He could only continue to move forward, but after only taking two steps, his body paused and the dagger in his right hand was thrown out.
With a ding sound, the dagger pierced the stone wall on one side. Ye Zhongming used so much strength that the whole blade of the knife sank in, leaving only the handle trembling slightly.
Among the sounds of the dagger colliding with the stone wall, there was an extremely weak squeaking sound, but it was keenly captured by Ye Zhongming.
He walked over and saw a creature like a gecko or lizard nailed there between the dagger and the stone wall. It was dead at the moment. Ye Zhongming pulled out the dagger and took the creature in his hand, and found that it turned out to be a third-level creature. The mutated life's whole body is exactly the same color as the stone wall. There is even a layer of the same color cortex on top of the magic crystal, just like the eyelids, which can temporarily hide the magic crystal when needed.
Its skin is not only the same color as the stone wall, but also very hard. The front ends of its six limbs have sharp claws, and its tail, which is almost as long as its body, has a structure like a hook, which is extremely sharp.
Opening its mouth, there are staggered canine teeth inside, which are also very sharp. After testing, they are not poisonous.
Ye Zhongming didn't recognize this creature.
For him, who was used to using his knowledge of ten years in his previous life to gain foresight, this kind of ignorance made him feel bad.
But one thing he can confirm is that this is not a mutant animal from the earth. Mutated geckos and mutant lizards look completely different from this thing.
So what is this?
He collected the magic crystals and materials, strengthened the dagger on the spot, and continued forward.
He walked for about ten minutes. During this period, he encountered several more of that kind of life, some of which were level two and some of which were level three. They didn't have any special abilities. They just had very good protective colors and used their good speed and The power sneak attack was useless against Ye Zhongming, but it was a real threat to evolvers of the same level or even those at the fourth or fifth evolution level.
Now Ye Zhongming knows why there are brown marks on the steel cones of both Black Dog and Lin Yixun. They are left after the life-like blood dries up.
It seems that not only is it dark here, but it is also dangerous everywhere.
Ye Zhongming, who was walking, suddenly put out the torch because he heard an obvious sound in front of him. He sneaked over quietly and saw a human being at a corner of the tunnel.
There were four evolvers holding steel awls, three men and one woman. One of the men was hanging an injured arm, and the other was holding something that looked like a luminous pearl to illuminate the fighting companions.
The remaining three people, two men and one woman, are besieging a monster the size of an adult bull!
Ye Zhongming used the light from the night pearl to discover that the passage in front of him had changed drastically. There were no traces of man-made things. It was as if everything was left by nature. Stalagmites, stone pillars, and stones were all around, and there were many twists and turns. The interconnected passages radiate in all directions, and some stones have even crystallized, glowing with beautiful colors in the light!
Such scenery reminded Ye Zhongming of places such as karst caves. This place was larger and more bizarre than those places.
His eyes fell on the monster. Ye Zhongming found that the monster's skin was no longer the same color as the stone wall, or in other words, it was not exactly the color of the stone wall, but had some of the appearance of the crystallized stone here. If it didn't move, it would be impossible to find it just standing in this cave.
This turns out to be another extremely perfect protective color!
The monster's big head is a bit out of balance, taking up about one-third of the body. There are two wolf mouths on each side of the face, growing on both sides of the nose under the two eyes. The magic crystal on the forehead shows that this is a level four mutation. life.
This monster is very powerful and should be about to evolve to level five. Its four powerful hooves make it extremely flexible. Two inverted triangular carapaces grow from the spine on its back, covering both sides of its body. , so that these humans can't hurt its belly and back at all, but his two mouths pose a great threat to humans. Even if the steel awl is bitten, it will be bitten off directly.
That man's arm must have been injured like this.
Although the attack power seems to only have two mouths, the monster's body and head are also its advantages. Just as Ye Zhongming observed it, a human was already hit by the monster's swinging hips and was knocked away. When he reached the stone wall, a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth. He covered his chest with his hands and couldn't get up for a while. It was hard to tell whether his sternum was broken or not.
Ye Zhongming narrowed his eyes. The evolution levels of these four people are not low in this mine. They are all four-star evolvers. This guy is also a four-star. How can it be so difficult to fight four against one?
He thought about what Lin Yixun had mentioned to him, about the kind of people scattered everywhere in the mine, but the total number of them was actually very large.
Lone picker!
These people did not want to be with others. They were alone or with several people, and they exchanged the stone beads they collected for food.
From Lin Yixun's words, Ye Zhongming could hear his fear of these people. He said that these loners had strong and even twisted personalities, were not afraid of death, were unwilling to be exploited by him and black dogs, and usually avoided the surrounding area. The two major forces in Mine No. 1 act independently, and will retreat in time once they meet each other.
Lin Yixun and Heigou were unwilling to conflict with these people. The terrain in the mine is complex, like a maze. After a conflict, it is not easy to take advantage of the number of people to kill these people. Instead, they will use the terrain to cause great losses. Once they are not caught, these people will still linger. Following you, waiting for the opportunity like an assassin, maybe he will strike you at some point.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Lin Yixun and Heigou will pretend they have not seen the solitary collector.
After hearing this, Ye Zhongming admired these people and knew that these were guys who would rather die than surrender. To a certain extent, they were more sophisticated than Lin Yixun and Black Dog. , Lin Yixun also mentioned that in fact, in the mines, these solitary miners know more about the terrain, rich ores, and various information than he and Black Dog do. If possible, you can find them to understand the situation.
After watching for a while, he knew that these four people would win in the end, but there would probably be casualties. After thinking about it, Ye Zhongming walked out from the corner, took out the dagger that had turned into a white grade, and deliberately made some steps sound, and then approached the battlefield.
The four people immediately noticed Ye Zhongming's appearance, shouting for attention and slowing down their movements.
One of them entangled the monster, while the other stood directly between Ye Zhongming and the battlefield, obviously guarding against him.
"Get away, this stone cow with two mouths is our prey!"
The person who blocked Ye Zhongming was a woman, holding a steel cone in her hand and looking at Ye Zhongming fiercely. Because she hadn't washed for a long time, her appearance could not be clearly seen. She could only tell from her voice that she was a very young person.
"Do you need my help?"
Ye Zhongming raised his chin and gestured to the battlefield. Just now, the four of them struggled to face the monster they called the two-mouthed stone cow. Now two of them were injured, one came to stop him, and the remaining one Fen has been forced into dangerous situations one after another, and it is obvious that he cannot hold on for long.
Saying that, Ye Zhongming also raised the white dagger in his hand.
The eyes of these people immediately lit up.
Why do they have so much trouble hunting a mutated life form of the same level as themselves? In addition to the decline in strength caused by long-term malnutrition, the most important point is that they have no equipment on them, not to mention armor, not even a handy weapon.
No matter how hard the steel cone is, it is still ordinary steel on the earth. It may have some effect on first-level and second-level mutant life forms, but it does not pose much of a threat to level-3 and above mutant life forms.
If there is a white weapon, then...
At this time, the yearning for this weapon and the seriousness of the battle situation behind them made their hearts move.
"If you hesitate any longer, you will die." Ye Zhongming spread his hands, but his eyes had already fallen on the monster.
"Let, let him..."
The man who was knocked to the side and vomited blood said sternly. He was obviously the leader of the four people, and he agreed.
Ye Zhongming rushed over immediately, but he did not show all his power, but suppressed his power around the four-star evolvers.
If possible, he was not willing to reveal his identity here. Moreover, after he learned about the characters of these solitary hunters from Lin Yixun, Ye Zhongming knew that it was unlikely to force them to say anything, and he would not He is willing to use this method to obtain information, because even if these people say it, he does not know whether it is true or false.
Out of ten pieces of news, nine are true and only one is false, but maybe this false one is fatal.
Ye Zhongming first tried his hand on the monster's thickest carapace and found that it couldn't be broken open with the power of a four-star evolver.
Those people frowned when they saw this scene, feeling that this man was too unreliable and that he had lost a good weapon in vain.
But they immediately discovered the difference. Ye Zhongming's knife began to specifically select the weak points of this mutated life, and soon caused more damage than them, and allowed them to see what it meant to cut flesh with a slow knife.
The mutated creature persisted for several minutes and then bled to death.
Only then did a few people feel that this newcomer was quite powerful.
Seeing the double-mouthed stone cow fall, several people ignored Ye Zhongming's presence and rushed over to lie on the body of the mutated life, sucking its blood crazily. Even the man with a broken arm was still sucking its blood. Ye Zhongming wanted to take out the flesh and blood from the open wound and eat it raw. While eating, he looked at Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming spread his hands, but he was not interested in this, and even stepped back for a distance. Then several people felt relieved and continued... eating.
"I made you laugh." After a while, the man who had vomited blood stood up. It was obvious that the injury was not as serious as it seemed.
"Are you also... a loner?"
Ye Zhongming shook his head.
"Then how do you want to divide this?"
There was no surprise for that person, because it could be seen from Ye Zhongming's clothes that this person was a newcomer. Instead, he was more concerned about how the two-mouthed stone cow was distributed.
"If we give you all this cow, can you give us your dagger?"
The woman with her mouth full of blood suddenly raised her head and asked.
