After Yang Fan walked out of the cave, he thought for a moment and then searched for something along the rock wall.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Yang Fan quickly found a thin rope hanging on the cliff wall.
Yang Fan was very familiar with this rope. He was lowered by this rope.
"The rope is still there, Liu Qi and the others probably haven't left."
Yang Fan knew very well that if Liu Qi and the others left, they would never leave this rope to themselves.
But something strange is that the end of the rope is about ten meters above the ground!
Although the rock wall is not straight and smooth, it is quite flat. You can tell at a glance that the original owner of Qilin Cave has carefully decorated its palace.
There are no handholds on the cliff, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb ten meters high with bare hands.
Even if Liu Qi and the others have excellent physical fitness, they cannot directly grab the rope, let alone, they need to consider the possibility of an emergency.
With such a high distance reserved, it will be more difficult to escape in an emergency.
Why didn't they make the rope longer? Was there not enough iron spider silk in reserve?
After thinking for a moment, Yang Fan denied this speculation.
He clearly remembered that he broke the rope after hitting the bottom, which proved that the iron spider silk in Liu Qi's hands was enough to reach the bottom of the abyss.
Since it is not a lack of materials, the answer is obvious.
Liu Qizheng prevented Yang Fan from using the rope to escape!
There were only three people below who could use the rope to escape.
Liu Qi and Zhang Jie must have thought of other ways to climb up the rope quickly. They reserved such a high height to prevent Yang Fan from escaping.
If Yang Fan really could reach the rope, he might even have a chance to do something with the rope, so Liu Qi would of course have to be on guard.
"Your thinking is so thorough! Did you even consider that I might come over to check the rope?" Yang Fan snorted coldly.
Looking at the rope hanging at a high place, Yang Fan hesitated a little.
He seemed to have one more option now: find a way to reach the rope, get back to the cliff before Liu Qi and the others, and wait for Liu Qi and the others to fall into the trap.
But Yang Fan quickly gave up this idea.
First of all, Yang Fan really couldn't figure out how to reach such a high rope.
In addition, his primary goal is to find the red unicorn fruit, not to kill Liu Qi.
If Liu Qi and the others don't get the red unicorn fruit, or if they die directly below, what's the use of returning to the cliff early?
Liu Qi probably didn't know that Yang Fan's current physical fitness had almost reached the level of ordinary people. He probably even thought that Yang Fan's left leg was injured.
Even so, he still kept such a high distance, which shows that this person is thoughtful and extremely cautious in doing things.
Looking at the rope above his head, Yang Fan could only shake his head. He could not spend a lot of time and energy to overcome the problem of the rope now.
"Liu Qi has already gone to the central area earlier than me. I can't delay any longer. It seems I can only act by ear!" After saying that, Yang Fan turned around and walked towards the center of the abyss.
After two days of activity under the abyss, Yang Fan's eyesight has become increasingly accustomed to this dark environment.
Black air filled the entire space, but Yang Fan could still see about ten meters away.
Yang Fan had previously calculated that the radius of the abyss was about fifty meters, which was not particularly far.
Of course, the closer the distance, the greater the possibility of encountering danger, and ten meters of visibility cannot guarantee safety at all.
Moving towards the central area meant that he had no known bunkers to cover next. For the sake of safety, Yang Fan chose to lie on the ground and crawl forward.
At the same time, he fully opened his facial features, walked carefully every step of the way, crawled a certain distance and then stopped to observe the surrounding environment.
"It's strange. I have climbed ten meters to the central area, but the scent of the beast has not become stronger. On the contrary, the scent emitted by the Thousand Hands of the Demon has become clearer and clearer!"
"The smell of Mara Senju has overshadowed other smells, and it's difficult to judge the location of the strange beast through its smell!"
Yang Fan had been in close contact with the branch of Mo Luo Qianju and was very familiar with this smell.
As this smell intensifies, other smells are almost completely masked.
The smell of the alien beasts was so strong that it was covered up, let alone Liu Qi and Zhang Jie. Yang Fan could not find them through the smell at all.
Now all threats may be concentrated in the central area. The closer you get to the central area, the more concentrated the dangers will be. Yang Fan needs to be more cautious!
After crawling slowly for about twenty meters, Yang Fan was afraid that he would be torn apart by some strange beast that rushed out in the next second.
However, the strange beast did not appear, but Yang Fan saw a huge spherical shadow appearing in the area in front!
"What is that!" Yang Fan widened his eyes, fearing that he was blinded.
After careful observation, Yang Fan discovered that just about ten meters away from him, the entire area was covered with Moruo Thousand Hands vines.
A large number of Mara Thousand Hands vines are intricately entangled on the ground, and are extremely thick. They are several times thicker than those in the cave. In the darkness, they are like giant pythons.
In the central area, some roots are entangled and climbing up, forming such a spherical space.
Yang Fan climbed to the nearest vine and took a closer look.
It is indeed the vine of Mara Senju.
However, what is puzzling is that the Moruo Thousand Hands in the Blood Cave will light up green regularly, but the vines in front of them do not have this phenomenon and look lifeless.
Yang Fan's eyes searched along these thick vine branches...perhaps not the vine branches, but the vine roots, because they were stronger and more powerful.
Yang Fan found the reason why they don't glow.
They are all cut off!
"It's a dead root... I don't know who can cut off the root of Mo Luo's Thousand Hands. Is it that Kirin?"
Since these root systems had been cut off and there was no green juice inside the roots, Yang Fan tried touching them and found that there was no reaction.
"These tangled root systems can actually serve as shelters."
There were many dead roots around and the fluctuations were huge. Yang Fan finally had a bunker where he could hide.
After getting up, Yang Fan approached a dead root, carefully approaching the sphere in the center.
Through the intertwined dead root gaps on the periphery of the spherical structure, Yang Fan saw that there were a large number of vine roots deeper.
But these vine roots in the inner layer are different from the dead roots in the outer layer. They will regularly flash a layer of light cyan fluorescence, which is lighter in color than the Mara Senju in the cave.
The cyan fluorescence is very light and is almost completely blocked by the outer vine roots. The remaining weak light will be swallowed up by the surrounding black air, so that Yang Fan did not see any light here in the past two days.
Moreover, Yang Fan discovered that every time they moved, there was no black air coming out, only bursts of fresh fragrance.
It’s also a rhythm, but the rhythm of the vine roots here gives people a fresh and pure feeling.
"The vine roots here are not polluted?!" Yang Fan's eyes widened.
He couldn't understand why more than 300 vine branches of the same Mara Thousand Arms plant were contaminated, but the root system was not contaminated!
"etc!"
Yang Fan frowned as he seemed to have thought of a possibility.
What if the contamination spreads from the branches to the center?!
This can explain why the branches are contaminated, but the root position is not.
There is one thing that can prove Yang Fan's conjecture.
When completing the first link of the dual goal, he just found a branch and was done.
If the pollution spreads outward from the center of the root system, then he should find the center of the root system to complete the first step of the goal!
After thinking about this, Yang Fan continued to observe the roots of Mo Luo Qianju.
It is no longer possible for ordinary people to see through two layers of vine roots. Fortunately, Yang Fan's eyesight has improved slightly in the past few days, and he can barely see.
Looking through the cyan fluorescent roots, in the innermost part, several twigs grow upward from all four sides, gather at the top, and unexpectedly wrap themselves into a sphere.
He could no longer see the internal conditions of that space, but he could see a faint orange light in the inner sphere, which lit up slightly following the rhythm.
When Yang Fan saw that red light, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
The juice of Mo Luo Senju is dark green, and the polluted Kirin Fruit also emits green fluorescence. Even if the roots of the vine are not polluted, the light emitted is light cyan.
Then this orange light is probably the crimson unicorn fruit!
The second link of the second goal was now in front of his eyes, and Yang Fan's breathing became faster.
But Yang Fan doesn't dare to act rashly now.
First of all, the location of Liu Qi and Zhang Jie is not yet clear. Yang Fan still hasn't seen the strange beast, so there is a high chance that Liu Qi and Zhang Jie are still alive. Although he did not find them, Yang Fan can be sure that they should be here.
Within a hundred square meters!
They might even be hiding behind another vine root not far away!
Secondly, although the scent of the alien beast is faint, it definitely exists. If the alien beast cannot be seen, how can he dare to show up at will.
The most critical point is that this place is so strange. Why are the vine roots around it dead? It is still unknown whether there are other dangers in the space wrapped by the vine roots.
The crimson unicorn fruit is wrapped in three layers of vine roots, so it's probably not that easy to get.
Yang Fan can't act rashly now!
"Let's see if there will be any changes first." Yang Fan chose to stay put.
After waiting here for about ten minutes, suddenly, some changes finally appeared in Moluo Senju.
[Author's digression]: Something happened today, so the update is a bit late.
There are two more updates coming one after another.
