Underground world.
It's not a cave or a cave, but a completely underground world as vast as a continent.
To the naked eye, apart from the world illuminated by glowing moss, this underground world has an incredible "environment". There is obviously no sunlight, but the dark earth is covered with vegetation visible to the naked eye. The endless flow of the river almost touched the trees on the edge. All these things filled the hearts of Zhou Li and others with shock.
How can this be?
Zhou Li and Atalona looked at each other. As an earthling and a goddess of life, they both understood how incredible or contrary to common sense the scene in front of them was. There can be caves underground, but this biome is not possible. However, all this abnormality appeared so nakedly in front of everyone's eyes, consuming everyone's cognition.
"No magic."
Atalona shook her head. This was the first time she showed the word "unbelievable". She stared at the vast world under her feet and said incomprehensibly: "There is no special power, here... it's just a... Ordinary space, no traces of man-made things, even...uninhabited."
This is what Atalona cannot understand the most. As the goddess of life, perceiving life is her most basic power. At the same time, perceiving traces is also her unique ability. She could easily sense the traces left by that creature, but in this completely unnatural world, she could not sense the existence of humans.
She had made the laws of living things, but now, she could not find any trace of man-made things in this world that completely violated the laws of nature. To Atalona, this was even more unbelievable than Zhou Li one day surrendering to the gods and becoming their lackey. Because the latter has an extremely weak probability of happening, this is not something that can happen.
"I'm going to take a look."
Atalona immediately regained her composure after the shock, or her calmness was a kind of madness. At this time, she just wants to go to this world to find the truth, to find the truth that this underground world can exist. She couldn't tolerate the existence of something beyond common sense and beyond cognition.
This was a variable that frightened her. It's like a soft thumbtack suddenly appeared in a person's life, but this thumbtack was not nailed to his line of sight, but was nailed to the space he was in, directly destroying all his cognition.
For gods, destroying cognition is more terrifying than killing them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Atalona's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, without giving anyone else any time to react. Of course, Zhou Li was not prepared to stop her. After all, he didn't know whether there was any crisis in this underground world. Of course, if there is no crisis, Atalona will be the biggest crisis.
"I've never seen this place."
Looking at this incredible underground world, Li Chong's eyes were full of surprise and he murmured: "This... this is impossible, how could there be such a vast world underground. If there is, why doesn't it collapse? This is against the rules. This is against the rules..."
Unlike Li Chong, Jiang Qi is not a scholar but a soldier. He doesn't really know why forests and creatures shouldn't exist in the underground world, nor why weeds can't exist. But Jiang Qi knew that if there was really such a huge hole under Huai City, Huai City would have collapsed long ago.
"I've never heard of a rumor."
At this time, Tao Yao on the side slowly broke away from the shock, then frowned and said to everyone: "I heard that an immortal once appeared in Yuhu Garden in Huaicheng. Can an immortal do this?"
"You said there are immortals in Yuhuyuan?"
Jiang Qi on the side frowned, shook his head and said: "Impossible, I have lived in Yuhuyuan for a long time, and I have never heard of this..."
Just when Jiang Qi was about to deny Tao Yao's words, he was suddenly startled, as if he remembered something, his expression changed, and he was in disbelief, and he said hesitantly: "No, that's not right."
Frowning tightly, Jiang Qi fell into memories. After a while, he raised his head and said in shock: "Hongqiao!"
"It's Hongqiao!"
"Hongqiao?"
Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What is Hongqiao?"
"When I lived in Yuhuyuan, I saw a painting. In the painting, a long bridge like a rainbow stood above the lake. On the bridge, two women whose faces could not be seen clearly seemed to be standing on the lake. It's like walking. I once asked the old man who painted this painting what he painted, and he said that this was a scene he had seen with his own eyes in Yuhuyuan decades ago."
After a pause, Jiang Qi continued: "The old man said that when he was on a cruise that day, a woman in a blue skirt waved a ray of light on the shore, and the rainbow bridge appeared on the lake. And the woman in a blue skirt led another black group The girl's hand walked slowly on the Hongqiao, and finally disappeared from everyone's eyes."
Turning around and looking at the vast underground world, Jiang Qi frowned and said softly: "The path we took just now, if we draw a line, would start from the shore of the former Yuhu Garden, and finally Go to the center of the lake. Because the center of the lake used to be the current palace of the city lord."
After Jiang Qi said this, everyone fell into silence for a long time. Zhou Li and Eluma understood what Jiang Qi was talking about, while Li Chong frowned and thought about the rationality. Torea...
She is in a daze.
Yes, she was in a daze. In fact, this is not normal, because Torreia rarely stays in a daze on weekdays. Her spirit is tense most of the time, and she will react immediately to any disturbance. But this time, Torea was obviously in a trance. She looked at the underground hollow with a daze in her eyes.
Why do I miss it?
For some reason, she felt a sense of nostalgia arise when she saw this boundless underground world. She shook her hand gently and slowly opened it, but she could not calm the surging emotions in her heart.
Eluma on the side quickly noticed Torea's temporary restlessness. She looked at Torea, stretched out her hand, and gently put her hand on the other person's shoulder, "Torea, what's wrong?"
"A little flustered."
Torea did not hide it, nor did she say that she was fine. She knew that any situation could worsen in this environment, and concealing something was definitely not a good habit.
"Are you feeling flustered?"
Eluma was a little worried. With Torea's cooperation, she checked the other person's body, but she felt nothing. She did not abandon it, but left a trace in the other person's body. If there was really something wrong with Torea's body, this trace would tell Eluma immediately.
At this moment, Zhou Li had decided to enter this land to explore. Because in his perception, those entropic spirits filled with an aura that made him uncomfortable existed in this vast underground world. And regardless of those entropic spirits, this underground world full of mystery and weirdness was enough for Zhou Li to explore.
after all···
Thinking of Atalona's frightened look just now, Zhou Li couldn't help but wonder. He had rarely, no, never been so surprised, even horrified, when seeing Atalona. In his impression, even when Su Yuli was tied up in an incomprehensible tree, Atalona still remained calm enough.
And when this underground world appeared in front of Atalona, Zhou Li could clearly feel the deep fear and consternation in Atalona's eyes at that moment. As a goddess of life, she controls most of the power of life. It can be said that in a sense, Atalona is also a kind of "omniscient". What is obvious is that the existence of this space even exceeds Atalona's expectations.
This is very thought-provoking.
At this time, everyone was located in a cave, with a height of about thirty meters below their feet. Torea hugged Taoyao beside her and jumped directly. The elemental mage who switched to the wind element in the air landed smoothly on the ground. Jiang Qi used Qi to wrap up Li Chong beside him, and he slowly fell from mid-air to the ground with a look of death on his face.
Zhou Li and Eluma looked at each other, without urging, Xiaobai and Disaster directly hugged the two of them, and then fell to the ground. Xiaobai, as a Black Mist Knight and because of her gender, placed Eluma on the ground more gently. As a mindless natural disaster, Zhou Li was directly thrown down from mid-air, and then dissipated to complete his mission.
After everyone appeared in this underground world, an indescribable feeling spread in everyone's heart. They feel as if something has been lost within them, but it keeps returning, as if it is pulling on their bodies. This feeling was short-lived, but it left everyone with a weird feeling.
"Can you feel it?"
Zhou Li looked at Jiang Qi aside. He and Eluma had some kind of connection in a sense, so they both knew that the other person had the same feelings as him. Jiang Qi nodded solemnly and said, "Well, it's a pulling feeling."
"Let's go."
Zhou Li turned his head and looked at the dense forest in the distance, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, "It seems there is something here that we have never discovered before."
At this time, Jiang Qi was no longer just trying to capture entropy spirits. After entering this space, he also noticed that there seemed to be secrets about the Three Eastern Courts hidden here. Therefore, he followed Zhou Li directly, his spiritual energy lingering around him, constantly detecting everything around him.
Zhou Li and the others were not walking too fast, at least much slower than Atalona who disappeared after rushing straight down. As he advanced, Zhou Li stopped from time to time and looked at everything around him, as if he was searching for something. After a while, everyone passed through the underground Gobi and came to the forest.
forest···
Staring at the deep forest infected by darkness, something strange appeared in Zhou Li's eyes. He seemed to remember something, but his mind went blank, as if something was deliberately preventing him from thinking.
"I'll take the lead."
Without any hesitation, Torea walked to the front, swung the spear, and the brontosaurus clattered on the tip of the spear. She looked at the lightless forest in front of her and said in a deep voice: "If there is anything strange, the lightning will guide the way."
"good."
Zhou Li nodded. Among these people, Zhou Li can be sure that Torea's combat effectiveness is definitely the highest, and she is also the most suitable for single combat. Although the power of disaster is surging now, it would be easy for him to release dozens of divine punishments in an instant if he wanted to, but the problem is that it will inevitably cause a huge noise, and even cause irreparable rifts in this underground world. If he smashes this place with a Chaos God Punishment, Zhou Li doubts in his eyes whether the entire underground world will collapse.
Therefore, Torea, who has a body given by the gods, half-god magic power, and the ability to switch professions at will, becomes the most suitable person to take the lead. Under the leadership of Torea, everyone headed towards the depths of the forest.
Zhou Li held Eluma's hand tightly, purple light flowing in his eyes. Zhou Li was extremely vigilant about this underground world that was completely beyond his knowledge.
This forest is very similar to the Twilight Forest in that the trees have the ability to absorb light. But unlike the Twilight Forest, the trees in the Twilight Forest absorb the light and emit a dim afterglow. Although it is not too bright, it is still possible to see the road clearly. But this forest is pure darkness. Whether it is the light of the moss on the rock wall or the light spell released by Zhou Li, it will be absorbed by the forest.
Therefore, this forest is not just a simple darkness, but a depth, a depth that is impossible to see clearly or even understand. But fortunately, the lightning at the tip of Torea's spear was not a simple light, but a kind of energy, so it was not absorbed.
This forest is very quiet, there is no sound, not even the chirping of birds. This is actually quite unusual, as it is almost impossible for a forest to be without birds. But if you think about it carefully, it is incredible enough to be able to create an underground forest in this vast underground world.
It's the forest again.
A voice appeared in Zhou Li's mind. No, it should be said that it was Zhou Li talking to himself. He looked at the forest in front of him and whispered in his heart:
Why a forest.
Black forest, black trees, it's hard to see what's inside.
Forest... sniper... fire.
At this time, Zhou Li suddenly woke up. He looked at the abyss-like darkness in front of him, and his teeth lightly touched, freeing him from the fear that seemed to have been pulled out of his soul just now.
The reason why he was afraid was because when Zhou Li saw the darkness, he caught a glimpse of the tip of Torea's spear from the corner of his eye. That ray of light reminded Zhou Li of a story about a sniper in the dark that he had seen on Earth.
In the darkness, the moment two snipers met, they could not determine each other's identity, confirm each other's intentions, or clearly see each other's expressions. At this moment, they have only one choice.
shot.
To be precise, this story is a summary of a pattern, a pattern that chills people to the core.
Dark forest.
