The sound of dripping water echoed in the tunnel-like cave.
The wet cave roof and rock walls are covered with shimmering green algae, providing a light source for the narrow cave passage.
"Menqi, are you okay?"
Moyu's questioning voice sounded in the cave.
He stood on the wet ground and looked back at Menqi, who was only a few steps away from him.
Behind Menqi is a completely enclosed rock wall with several straight lines engraved on it, which seem to echo the stone slabs dug out before, and may also be a medium of ability.
"I'm fine."
Menqi nodded towards Moyou, and then looked at the green algae growing on the rock wall, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
If you observe carefully, the shimmering light emitted from the algae is like a pulse that alternates between bright and dark, as if it is alive.
Fortunately, there is such luminous algae in this cave, otherwise in such an environment, one would only be able to see in the dark.
After confirming that Menqi was fine, Moyou observed the surrounding environment.
The location is a narrow cave passage.
Humid and cold.
It's just that both the ground and the rock wall appear to be extremely smooth, looking like a man-made tunnel.
But Moyu can't see any trace of artificial repair here.
How the tunnel was formed is still unknown.
"The ability to transfer spatial properties..."
Thinking of the black curtain that came towards him just now, Moyu frowned slightly.
I really didn't expect that the thoughts after death could actually be teleported. No wonder I didn't feel the slightest threat.
In a sense, teleportation abilities are indeed not offensive in any way.
"This is trouble."
After being inexplicably transported to a completely unfamiliar cave, it is basically impossible to return to the second level test.
even--
How to get out of here is still a question.
With a slightly solemn look on his face, Moyou crossed Menqi and came to the rock wall with carved patterns.
"Condensation"
Gathering Qi in his eyes, Moyu looked at the rock wall, but found no trace of Nian.
But under the current circumstances, it is basically certain that the rock wall engraved with patterns is some kind of medium similar to the coordinates of the teleportation point.
That's why he and Menqi were teleported here.
Moyu tried to release his telekinesis and attach it to the patterned rock wall, but there was no reaction at all.
Moreover, the "ability to eliminate thoughts" deep in the consciousness also showed no response, indicating that there is indeed no thought power on this rock wall.
But to send people here, you must need the support of "Nian"...
Moyu speculated that the ability to teleport may be one-time, and all the energy will be consumed after the teleportation is completed.
"Let's find a way to get out of this hellish place first."
Withdrawing his hand, Moyu sighed softly in his heart.
I don't regret "touching" the seemingly non-threatening afterlife, but I just think that here, I can no longer expect to get the license this year.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Menqi retracted his gaze from the green algae and turned to look at Moyu behind him.
Although she was suddenly teleported here, she was not afraid at all, let alone worried.
courage.
It is an essential quality for food hunters.
Or--
This is a quality that most professional hunters should possess.
"Go inside and see if you can find a way out."
Moyu came to Menqi's side and looked up at the only path ahead.
Menqi nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said seriously: "Fortunately, I picked a lot of snow fruits on the way down the mountain, so I don't have to worry about food in a short time."
"Um."
Hearing this, Mo You glanced at Menqi's bulging backpack.
The supplies inside, in addition to snow fruits, also had some uneaten dry food and water, which was enough to sustain them for a long time.
"Let's go."
Moyu walked in front.
There are glowing algae everywhere in the tunnel, so there is no need to worry about the light source for the time being.
At the same time, you can judge whether the oxygen in the cave is sufficient based on the state of the algae.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is not too bad.
Moyou and Menqi walked in tandem along the cave passage.
This tunnel is not straight forward. There are uphill sections and downhill sections along the way, and it is curved like a winding path. Sometimes the road slants to the left and sometimes to the right.
Although the road going in was quite winding, there were no forks in the road.
There is no need to choose a route, it is difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.
Anyway, Moyou and Menqi can only keep walking along this road.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the narrow and winding cave gradually became wider.
And a group of green light appeared at the end in front, frozen there like a ghost fire.
Moyu looked at the green light in the distance ahead.
no doubt--
The source of the green light must also be the algae growing in the cave.
But compared to the green light around the cave, the green light at the end in front appears brighter.
Although he hasn't walked over yet, Moyu seems to be able to imagine some rough scenes.
Perhaps the unknown environment at the end will be filled with extremely large amounts of luminous algae.
"Stay alert."
Moyu reminded.
Menqi responded.
soon--
Moyou and Menqi came to the end of the cave. Before they stepped out, the first thing they saw was a huge internal space.
Countless luminous algae are spread all over the rock walls as far as the eye can see, and the light they emit fills the entire space.
The cave entrance they were in was located high on the rock wall, and there were hundreds of similar cave entrances.
These cave entrances are high and low, and are distributed on the rock walls in all directions like hanging coffins.
But underneath these cave entrances is an underground city shrouded in deep green light.
"here it is……?!"
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Moyu and Menqi were shocked by the sight before them.
Do the hundreds of cave entrances distributed on the rock wall like hanging coffins represent hundreds of transmission media points?
The most incredible thing is...
At the end of the tunnel, there was an underground city that looked quite spectacular.
Moyo is not even sure whether this is the interior of the Aragas Mountains.
and--
Moyu's eyes changed slightly and he looked towards the center of the dusty underground city.
There stood a giant pillar with a spiral pattern. From a distance, it looked like thick tree roots intertwined.
And above the root-like surface, twisted limbs and hideous human faces can be vaguely seen.
There were so many of them that they were poured like cement. It was difficult to tell whether they were corpses or sculptures. The whole body exuded a palpitating aura.
Moyu noticed the existence of this giant pillar.
It was not because of the presence of a suspected corpse on the surface of the cylinder, but because he sensed the aura of "thoughts of death" from the cylinder.
Menqi was still in shock, staring blankly at the large dusty building below.
"Master, have we discovered an underground ruins?"
"Maybe."
Moyu stared at the giant cylinder and said calmly: "But the more important thing is to find a way out of here."
He is not a relic hunter. He doesn't have any deep feelings about discovering a relic hidden in the history of the years. Instead, he pays more attention to how to evacuate.
Moreover, the giant cylinder exuding an ominous aura was like a time bomb, reminding him that this was no ordinary underground ruins.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Moyu first visually measured the height of the cave entrance from the ground.
It's about fifteen meters away, and with the protection of Qi, you can jump right down.
Then, Moyu jumped down and landed firmly.
Menqi followed closely behind, also jumped up and landed firmly on the ground.
"Give."
After landing, Menqi took out a snow fruit from his backpack and handed it to Moyu.
Moyu took the snow fruit, ate it in two or two bites, and added some water.
"If you can't find the exit..."
Looking at the ruins building in front of him that had existed for who knows how many years, Moyu's eyes showed a solemn expression.
There are hundreds of cave entrances scattered on the surrounding rock walls. It is very likely that they have the same structure as the cave they came from, and there is only one direct route to here.
Even if not, it would be unrealistic to go in and find out one by one.
"Let's take a step and see."
Moyu gathered his thoughts and walked towards the ruins ahead.
Under the green light, the silent buildings are like a ghost town in the netherworld, which is daunting.
Since there is the ability to teleport in, there may also be the ability to teleport out.
Moyu wanted to see if he could find similar stone slabs in the ruins.
"Hey, are you also candidates?"
Just when Moyou and Menqi walked some distance away, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Um?"
The two of them stopped suddenly and turned around to look at the source of the sound.
At the entrance of a cave four or five meters above the ground, there was a man with a figure like a bamboo pole standing there.
Moyou and Menqi were looking at the bamboo pole man, and the bamboo pole man was also looking at Moyou and Menqi.
Both of them saw the number plate on the other's body.
"call……"
After confirming that Moyou and Menqi were also candidates for the hunter test, the bamboo pole man couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Being able to see other people here means that he is not the only one who was sent here.
This possibility alone is enough to improve the bamboo pole man's mentality to a certain extent.
Compared with the joy of the bamboo pole man when he discovered someone else, Moyu was surprised.
Why are other candidates sent here?
As the initiator of triggering the teleportation ability, Moyu thought that only he and Menqi were sent to this unknown underground ruins, but he did not expect that other people would suffer along with it.
The bamboo pole man in front of me...
When the teleportation ability is activated, shouldn't it happen to be nearby?
And then you were unlucky enough to get involved?
Moyu thought to himself.
Naturally, the bamboo pole man didn't know that Moyou was the culprit who sent him to such a ghost place. He jumped down from the hole and walked quickly towards Moyou and Menqi.
"How did you two get here? I was going down the mountain half an hour ago, and suddenly I got a black eye, and then I ended up here inexplicably!"
"Just like you."
Moyu looked at the bamboo pole man walking over.
This is an ordinary person who doesn’t understand reading.
This shows that the target selected by the teleportation ability is not limited to those with telekinesis abilities.
"What the hell is going on? How did we get sent here? What the hell..."
The man with the bamboo pole scratched his hair vigorously, looking worried.
In this case, the bamboo pole man, like Moyu, would not feel excited or happy even if he discovered the ruins ahead.
Maybe there are many valuable antiques in the ruins that carry a certain period of history.
But if you can't leave here, no matter how valuable the antiques are, they will just be funeral objects and have no meaning at all.
Moyu looked at the bamboo pole man but said nothing.
You can't tell the bamboo pole man that you were sent here by me.
Naturally, Menqi would not pick up the topic and let the bamboo pole man keep complaining.
at this time--
Another sound came from one of the holes in the rock wall.
Moyou, Menqi, and the bamboo pole man couldn't help but look at the location where the sound came from, which was a cave entrance more than ten meters above the ground.
As they looked, they saw a short and fat figure rolling out of the hole, and immediately leaped and hit the ground.
"Ahh!!!"
The figure let out a scream.
The next second.
The figure hit the ground with a loud bang.
The violent impact caused the algae growing on the ground to ripple with green light.
As soon as it hit the ground, the figure's screams stopped abruptly and were replaced by whines.
"Here comes another one."
The bamboo pole man's eyes widened, and his originally irritable mood calmed down a little.
It seems that the more people who are equally unlucky, the better he will feel psychologically.
Moyu looked at the person who fell out of the hole, and his eyes gradually became weird.
"This unlucky child was also sent in?"
The figure that fell directly out of the hole was the new killer Dongba.
Seeing Dongba, Moyu was surprised, and immediately realized that there might not be a few people sent here.
That is to say——
The transfer ability he triggered is regional, and it is very likely that everyone within a certain range will be directly transferred here.
Dongba lay on the ground and howled.
The last section of the tunnel he was in was on a downhill slope, and the ground was very wet. He accidentally slipped and his whole body rolled downhill like a ball to the end.
Who would have thought that the entrance of the cave would be more than ten meters above the ground...
This fall almost made him angry.
"Yes, there are others...that's great..."
Although the fall hurt, Dongba felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Meeting other people in this unknown environment is a ray of light in the darkness.
Dongba took a breath and then raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.
With the green light emitted by the algae, he saw Moyu's face.
"..."
Dongba's face suddenly froze, and the wailing sound coming from his mouth gradually calmed down.
He obviously gave up on the hunter test and deliberately chose a route in the opposite direction to go down the mountain.
But why am I here?!
And why is this guy here?!
That is why ah?!
Dongba's eyes were lifeless and lifeless.
at the same time.
More and more sounds of movement came from the coffin-like openings on the rock wall.
I saw candidates appearing one after another at each entrance.
Among them were three men with beards.
"Although I don't know how the 'transfer ability' is activated..."
Standing at the entrance of the cave dozens of meters above the ground, the bearded man looked at the ghost town-like ruins shrouded in green light, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"But the spoils of the 'Mengka Expeditionary Force' should be here!"
