Ye Zhongming repeated the 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 did not believe it because he had never heard it. In his previous life, his status was not high and he did not understand many things, so he was doubtful about 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, bright water 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 was imprisoned 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 is 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. Anyway, he would know it by then.
"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 when the tunnel was opened here, it was much rougher than when it was first entered.
Lin Yixun told Ye Zhongming about this road, saying that he could go to a very secret mine that produced very rich 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 mist-like 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 spot it.
He carefully walked to the side of the fog, took out a dagger from the space, stuck it in and then pulled it out. He looked at it and found that there was no change in the dagger. He touched the tip of his finger slightly again and immediately moved it away, feeling it for a while.
I didn't find anything unusual, so I 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 exerted so much strength that the whole blade of the knife sank in. Only the handle trembled slightly outside.
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 toxic.
Ye Zhongming didn't recognize this creature.
For him, who was used to using his knowledge of ten years in his previous life to make foresight, this kind of ignorance made him feel very 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 more 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
A sneak attack with power is useless against Ye Zhongming, but it poses a real threat to evolvers of the same level or even level four or five.
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 night 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 realize that the passage in front of him had changed greatly. 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!
This kind of scenery reminds Ye Zhongming of places such as karst caves. This place is larger and more bizarre than those places.
His eyes fell on the monster, and 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 and stood in this cave, it really wouldn't be discovered.
This turns out to be another extremely perfect protective color!
The monster's big head is a bit out of balance, occupying 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 hooves are very powerful, making 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 I hit the stone wall, a lot of blood spurted out of my mouth. I covered my chest with my hands and couldn't get up for a while. It was hard to tell whether my sternum was broken or not.
Ye Zhongming narrowed his eyes. The evolutionary 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 laborious to fight four against one?
He thought about what Lin Yixun had mentioned to him, about the people in the mines who were scattered everywhere and whose total number was actually very large.
Lonely 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 surroundings.
The two major forces in Mine No. 1 act independently, and will retreat in time once they meet each other.
Lin Yixun and Heigou are not willing 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 harm.
Loss, once you don't catch them, these people will still follow you, like assassins, waiting for opportunities, and they might attack you at some point.
Therefore, if it is not necessary, Lin Yixun and Heigou will act as if 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 classy than Lin Yixun and Black Dog. Lin Yixun also mentioned that, in fact,
In the mine, 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 learn about 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 moves.
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 two-mouthed stone cow 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 herself for a long time, she couldn't see her face clearly. 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, not to mention armor, and they don't even have 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 level one and level two mutant life forms, but it will not pose much of a threat to level three and above mutant life forms.
If there is a white weapon, then...
At this time, their yearning for this weapon and the seriousness of the battle situation behind them made their hearts flutter.
"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 aside and vomiting blood said in a difficult voice. He was obviously the leader of the four people, and he expressed his agreement.
Ye Zhongming rushed over immediately, but he did not show all his power, but suppressed his power around the four-star evolver.
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 would be impossible 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 doesn't 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 to test the feel of the thickest carapace of this monster, and found that it was really impossible to break it 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 before bleeding 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 while. Then several people felt more relieved and continued... eating.
"I made you laugh." After a while, the man who had vomited blood stood up. It was obvious that his 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 to distribute the two-mouthed stone cow.
"If we give all this cow to you, can you give us your dagger?"
The woman with her mouth full of blood suddenly raised her head and asked.
