Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

In addition to “Flame Flowers”, Li Yao and Li Jialing discovered all sorts of strange underground life. Biodiversity reminded Li Yao of his past experience exploring in silver lakes beneath Skeletal Dragon Star.

However, almost all deep underground life, like colorful variants of life on the ground, rather than naturally occurring, seems to have embraced the genetic modulation and artificial intervention of a generation of intelligent life since Pangu and Lady civilization in order to survive in such a harsh environment.

The habitat of the vast majority of underground life has been a haven of continuous collapse, burial and abandonment for hundreds of thousands of years.

In just half a day, Li Yao and Li Jialing passed through three abandoned shelters, or ancient ruins.

The ancient monuments sound rather mysterious and contain treasures that make the powerful on all sides alike - just like the Kunlun mysteries once discovered by the Federation of Stars and Glory, and the women's warships and the Pangutian Palace, deep in the iceberg near the Arctic of the ancient sacred world.

But it has a special maintenance system, or ice sealed deep in the Arctic, so the undamaged ruins are truly nothing in the universe, the existence of Cape Phoenix.

The vast majority of relics have been eroded from 10,000 to hundreds of thousands of years, and slightly valuable pharmacopoeia and remains have long been extinguished, either by smoke or mixed with lava, losing any possibility of discovery and restoration.

This is the case with the three sites near District 10084.

The formerly computationally powerful crystalline brain system has long become a rust stain, distorted and deformed blank shell; the array of symbols used to purify air and cool temperatures is also covered by moss and vines; the vast majority of the passages are blocked by collapsed rocks and bouncing magma, rarely showing signs of the last victims struggling before death - traces that are all fossilized and clearly branded on uneven rock walls.

Whether the owners of these ruins were the Pankos or Femmes who controlled the Starsea hundreds of thousands of years ago, or the ancient repairs of the mysterious treasures of flooding tens of thousands of years ago, despite their obscurity, or the demonic nobility of the Great Dark Age of 30,000 years, or even the first modern fixers of the Empire of the Starsea… there is no difference, their glory and civilization have dissipated, their remains have not recovered, the "flame flower” dim light has swept through their moss-covered traces, even if the hastily climbed lizards and snakes have no shame on their ashes - there is really nothing there to suck and swallow.

But finding the ruins means you're far from the wildlings.

Because most wildlings are descended from these ruins.

Both Li Yao and Li Jialing wrapped their minds in spiritual energy. They swung around like ripples. Indeed, shortly afterwards, traces of several wildlings were found in the dark.

The two enjoyed a spectacular ambush.

At first, a Red Ring man hunted a Black Army man.

Red rings are smaller than ordinary people, about one metre and five feet tall, but a bunch of muscles around them grow strong, like a cord tied together to death, with amazing explosive power.

They are like cheetahs beneath the ground, elegant and extremely ferocious, two rows of canine teeth protruding like daggers, can just bite a human's head from behind, stick it in with their eye sockets, instantly destroy brain tissue - deep beneath the ground, there are no other large mammals besides humans, such a tooth construction can only indicate that they are used to feeding on the same species.

Li Yao paid special attention to the eyes of the Red Ring people, and found that, as Li Jialing described, the pupil was a ring of gorilla red, spreading out in a circle, all glowing in the dark. If it was illuminated by “flame flowers”, it was even more glowing, full of the power to photograph people's souls.

It appears that, in addition to “night vision”, there is a natural spiritual attack, similar to “deterrence” and "shock”, which, although extremely weak, is more than enough to deal with ordinary prey.

Their ears are similarly large and flat, crossed by a fold that is said to be filled with extremely acute sensory organs, capable of sensing the terrain around them through feedback from sound waves, as well as the breathing and heartbeat of prey.

With such a sharp search and offensive tool, the Red Ring became the premier hunter in the dark death zone, at the top of the food chain.

When Li Yao perceived the Red Ring Man, he was hanging upside down over a cave, his hands and feet climbing towards another black armored man who was eating lizards.

Li Yao originally thought that the Black Armor was wide and flat, like a tortoise existed. Only after seeing it with his own eyes did he discover that the Black Armor was also very thin. The black armor around him was not a piece of iron plate, but a delicate structure like a fish scale armor, more like a wax.

Apart from wearing black armor, they have not evolved more aggressive weapons and naturally succumb to the wind in confrontation with the Red Ring.

Looking at this black-armed man, who knows nothing about ignorance, is dying in the hands of the Red Ring. Li Yao is wondering whether to stop the two wildlings from killing.

All of a sudden, when the Red Ring man threw himself towards the Black Army man, a bunch of seemingly stone shoots moved vigorously next to him, smashing a shadow toward the Red Ring man, suddenly smashing the Red Ring man to the ground.

Hercules is a night winger disguised as a rock!

Li Yao was astonished at the sophistication of the Night Winger's "modus operandi". Although his serious injuries had not healed and only inspired one-tenth of his mind to detect, the Night Winger managed to escape his scans. The ethnic talent evolved deep beneath the ground was quite sharp.

And it's obviously a pre-set trap, with the Black Army as bait and the Night Wings as the main attack, to hunt this careless Red Ring man together —— they can set such a delicate trap that the visible light of wisdom has not yet been completely extinguished, and it's a category of “human beings", not just beasts in human skins.

This dark shadow struck by the Night Wing Man seems to be a super strong alloy member on some kind of magic treasure, with sharp edges, like a wolf's tooth stick, the Red Ring Man is finally flesh and blood. Without practicing spiritual energy, he ate this heavy blow and fell to the ground, bleeding like a bet.

Looking directly at the Black Armor and Night Winger "Ow" to bite their prey's throat, Li Yao stood up from the depths of darkness and slightly increased the intensity of the surrounding psychic energy.

Underground residents were extremely alert to danger, and without hesitation for even half a second, the Black Army and the Night Wings lost their prey, retreated to the depths of darkness and fled.

Li Yao did not stop them, but went forward to check on the situation of the Red Ring man.

The head took a major trauma, and the skull went through a deep depression from the left temple, only the air intake could not vent, and the eyes could not live.

Li Yao carefully looked at the Red Ring man's body and found that although he was not inched, there was a beetle eating out of his chest. There was an uneven tattoo. There was also a strap tied to his right arm with two sharp bone blades - Li Jialing told Li Yao that Red Ring people used to brush the bone blades with the teeth of their relatives when they died. They believed that the soul of the deceased was attached to the dog's teeth as sharp as a dagger. Such a bone blade would bring good luck to the living and protect the safety of the living.

It seems that today's close relatives of the Red Ring did not bring him good luck.

But intricate tattoos and unique customs also prove that Red Ring men are not disgraced by the fairy practitioners, but are part of the human family, dressed in human skin and a horrible beast.

Li Yao can accept even the claws of a tooth dancer and the strangely shaped demonic tribe. Naturally, there is no reason to exclude these ethnic groups, which retain most of the human face.

The strange eyes of the Red Ring gradually faded away into a rock-like dead ash, and his chest stopped undulating completely. A bunch of tight muscles relaxed all the time, but his muscles contracted and stiffened, making him in a very distorted posture.

Li Yao sighed, crossed the Red Ring man's hands on his chest, put him in the corner of the cave like he was sleeping peacefully, and buried the body with extremely fast rocks - for the time being, there was only so much that could be done.

Li Jialing has been watching silently beside him. On several occasions, he stopped wanting to say things. In the end, he didn't throw out any doubts.

After the Red Ring was buried, the two proceeded.

The caves and cracks in front are even more rugged and hidden. Without maps and coordinate guidance, coupled with Longyang Jun spraying a huge arrow with a special fluorescent agent as he penetrated the ground, Li Yao and Li Jialing could not have imagined that deep beneath the depths of such a poor mountain, there was actually a path of Willow Dark Flower Ming.

Again, walking down, climbing for half a day, suddenly the front suddenly cheerful, unexplained appearance of a tunnel with a diameter of 34 meters, circling the spiral line on the wall of the hole, must have been pioneered by some kind of giant earth-boring magic treasure.

“I'm afraid it wasn't the Pankos or the Girls who pioneered it hundreds of thousands of years ago! ”

Li Yao observed the surrounding environment lane, “Should it have led to... the ground? Later, however, the sea mulberry fields, the geology changed dramatically. The first half of the tunnel leading to the ground collapsed and buried. It was completely empty, leaving only the rear half to be cut off and transformed into an endless form. ”

At the end of the tunnel, there is a hidden light.

And the air in front is so different in oxygen and air pressure that it creates the same flow of air as through the wind.

The locator chip shows that Longyang's coordinates are directly ahead, at the end of the giant tunnel.

Li Yao and Li Jialing looked at each other. Since they had all come here, there was nothing to hesitate about. If Longyang Junguo really wanted to test them, there was no need to save them from the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi. If he really wanted to be unfavourable to Li Yao, there were opportunities in the past 10 days. There was no need to trick them into doing so again.

“Come on, let's see what the hell this bitch is up to!” Li Yao waved and walked to the end of the tunnel.
