Most of the countless eyeballs that made up the pair of huge pupils were broken, and black liquid flowed out. The monster suddenly let out a painful roar. But just when Cheng Shen was on guard for it to explode, its body suddenly shrank.

It's not that it has become deflated.

There is a mine shaft in the middle of the mine that leads deep underground.

This monster occupied the elevator built in the mine from the beginning. When it was hit hard, it immediately chose to escape.

Cheng Shen was a little surprised.

Usually, only extremely intelligent enemies will flee during battle.

The monster in front of him looked confused and didn't expect that his intelligence was quite high.

But it can't run away.

Bloodburning Poison and Septic Frenzy are both sustained damage skills.

After the petrified ancestor exploded, a large amount of blood mist was created in its body, providing ample energy for the two abilities to take effect.

Not for a moment.

A kill prompt sounded in Cheng Shen's mind.

[Tip: Successfully kill the abyssal host and gain 6100 experience points!]

…

Bang!

Then there was a heavy landing sound in the mine, accompanied by a faint rustling sound, as if countless feet were moving.

"It sounds pretty deep."

Cheng Shen thought for a while.

The elevator had been corroded and dilapidated, and it looked like it was definitely no longer useful.

There is a wider unknown area under the mine, but it would be full of monsters of the same level just now.

Even if it's him.

There is no benefit to be gained from rushing in rashly.

The environment of the mine seriously limits his abilities. Not only is his magic level unable to be used, but even his bright red form faces terrible erosion.

If he directly flooded the mine tunnel with a river of blood like he did before.

So.

It's not the monsters in the mines that he needs to worry about.

Rather, it is a distorted contaminant formed after his own body was eroded...

Just a monster that combines the two characteristics of abyss plague and dark distortion is already quite difficult to deal with. If this monster also has the characteristics of a blood demon, it will simply create a terrifying demon king Gu!

Shaking his head secretly.

Cheng Shen replaced the lightless candle that burned to the last eye in his hand and gave orders to the petrified ancestors.

"Explore the other cave entrances first."

Hooray!

The remaining twenty-five petrified ancestors spread out like birds and beasts, running towards several cave entrances.

The scout guard floating aside followed a team and flew away.

The first thing to explore was the hole on the left. It seemed to be a temporary resting area for miners. There were several rotten beds. Several deformed monsters were killed by the petrified ancestors and a few pieces of ore were dropped.

.

The right side is the excretory area.

There is a hole in the middle that also leads to a poorly furnished canteen.

The miners who once worked here transformed the cave into a small living area. But the living conditions are visibly difficult to the naked eye, not like a place for normal workers, but like a slave concentration camp.

"Huh? I found something."

suddenly.

Cheng Shen saw some unusual scenes through the scout guard.

He immediately rushed over and found a naturally formed geological crack deep in the entrance of a cave on one side of the wall. The crack was only twenty centimeters wide at its widest point, and even a dog would have trouble drilling through it.

But there are traces of magic fluctuations around this crack.

This trace is quite weak, if it weren't for the hallucination magic, and the scout guard happened to have the corresponding invisibility breaking ability.

Maybe just ignore it.

after all.

Cheng Shen didn't have the time to check these holes inch by inch.

"It's just a low-level concealment magic."

He observed it for a while.

Later.

He mobilized his mental power to directly break the magic.

Bo!

There seemed to be an invisible barrier dissipating in the air, and the cracks in front of them were still cracks, but now they showed two completely different colors.

One is the color of the stone.

One is more like dirt.

Cheng Shen stretched out a hand and inserted it easily into the hardened soil like cutting tofu, digging out the different colored soil parts bit by bit.

A hole large enough for a person to pass through was revealed.

call!

A cold wind surged out of the cave.

Cheng Shen exclaimed softly. Every air in this mine had been polluted. It was difficult for a normal person to breathe. But the airflow coming out of the cave actually contained a large amount of unpolluted air.

Air.

"refuge?"

He immediately directed the two petrified ancestors to enter the cave entrance, and then followed them himself.

Artyka stayed here.

The reason why she was not allowed to continue to follow was partly because Aljieka's energy replenishment also came from absorbing elements from the heaven and earth, unlike Cheng Shen's core core, which could produce a steady stream of blood through the body.

Go deep into the mine.

It would be a very dangerous act for her to run out of energy.

Furthermore, Cheng Shen also needs to leave someone to watch over the mine to prevent the monsters here from running out and polluting the environment.

Whether it's the Abyssal Plague or the Dark Aberration.

If any of these two factors appears in the outside world, it will cause devastating damage to the surrounding environment!

The latter is fine.

And the pollution of the abyss plague is no weaker than the strange spread!

The petrified ancestors with a scout guard on one shoulder ran forward. The gap gradually shrank and became narrower. However, traces of artificial excavation began to appear in some places, forcing the passage to be widened.

Along the way.

Cheng Shen also saw some similar magical disguise arrangements.

The level of these magics is not high, and there is not even a decent formation. They can basically only deceive ordinary people. However, this crudely arranged structure gradually made Cheng Shen's heart gradually become more active.

"It is not arranged with energy crystals that can last for a long time. There are still people who are constantly maintaining these magics... 80% of them still have living people inside!"

He deduced it from some details.

My heart suddenly jumped up.

soon.

The petrified ancestors carrying the "camera" at the front rushed out of the crack and entered a deep mine tunnel. The thick darkness immediately obscured the vision of the scouts and guards, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

"It's a formation!"

Cheng Shen quickened his pace.

He then came to the end of the crack, but the pervasive darkness could not block his vision. Golden-red divine light flowed from his eyes, and the darkness in front of him was immediately broken down into runes one by one and restored to its original appearance.

"It's somewhat similar to the formation behind the temple... but it's fundamentally different."

Cheng Shen came to a conclusion at a glance.

The formation in front of you looks very similar to the dark protective formation arranged behind the temple, but an expert can spot the difference at a glance. The structure of this formation is quite simple, and there are even many errors.
