Gu Chen frowned, glanced at the pioneers who were still discussing next to him, and then walked towards the fork in front.
As he approached the fork in the road, his vision suddenly darkened, which made Gu Chen panic for a few seconds, but he quickly calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, this is already a cave located very deep underground in the settlement. It is natural that the sun cannot shine in. Rather, it is better to say that there was no need to hold a torch to move forward hard because there were glowing stones along the way.
.
At this moment, it was pitch black in front of the fork in the road, which meant that there was no trace of brilliant stones there. According to common sense, the more areas where the spirit siltation is, the more crystals of brilliant stones would appear, but the deep darkness in front of us undoubtedly overturned this law.
The spiritual surge is stagnant and no brilliant stone is produced. These two points alone are enough to identify the abnormality in the space ahead.
Gu Chen frowned and looked at the dark space ahead, and a rare chill could not help but feel behind him. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression coming from the front like a wave. By the time he noticed it, his palms were already covered in cold sweat.
"Gu Chen, what are you looking at here...eh? It's so dark!?"
The voice of Red Fish sounded behind him. Seeing him stunned in front of the fork in the road, the pioneers over there came over curiously.
"What is this? There's no brilliant stone in it?"
"How is that possible? My nose is so itchy that I almost sneeze!"
"Over there, please light a lamp, thank you."
"Fuck you! Don't use this girl as a lantern!"
The noise brought by the pioneers dispelled the fear lingering in the darkness, and Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The flowing spirit has created a colorful landscape in the wilderness. When you step into it, you will have the opportunity to see the beauty beyond words, and you may also encounter dangers beyond your imagination. If you are alone, you may be able to overcome some obstacles no matter what.
Don't you want to go? But with colleagues working side by side, you can go to places you couldn't go before.
Gu Chen also somewhat understood the reason why the pioneers insisted on forming a team to explore the wilderness.
Gu Chen, who was thinking this way, cast a grateful look at the armored spear user and others, and then turned to the female flame user.
"Red Fish, can you help light the front? Your Yandie is very convenient."
"Huh, I really can't do anything to you."
"Hey, hey, the difference in attitudes shouldn't be too obvious, okay?"
"Stop blabbering, I'll show you the butterfly again."
The red fish cast an intimidating look at the protesting villain, and then waved his staff to summon a number of flame butterflies.
As Yan Wa's staff pointed, the flame butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards the front of the fork. The firelight emitted by their butterfly wings drove away the darkness shrouding the cave, and everyone gradually saw clearly that the space in front of the fork was wider than imagined.
.
"Oh, it's so spacious."
"Wait? Look, what is that?"
Using the concept of the earth side as a metaphor, the space is about the size of a school basketball gym. Except for the lack of brilliant stones, the texture of the surrounding rock walls is the same as elsewhere in the cave, and in the center lies a giant object. That giant object
Mo is about the size of two to three containers. It looks like a turtle shell but is full of thorns. Its material looks like stone but not stone, and it is completely black. Even if a butterfly flies by, there will be no light at all.
Perhaps it was the intimidation given by its huge size, but there was a frightening and violent aura faintly exuding from the dark giant. Just looking at it from a distance made Gu Chen unable to help but feel terrified.
"Ghost, ghost rock species!?"
"Damn it! Why are there ghost rock species in this crappy place!?"
"Back off! Back off quickly!"
Before Gu Chen put the questions in his mind into words, the pioneers nearby had already screamed out. The soldier Guo Bei put up his big shield, the spearman Zazu grabbed his spear, and even the fireman Red Fish subconsciously extinguished it.
Yan Die, put on a tense posture ready to make big moves.
Gu Chen didn't know what to do, so he pulled out the Deer King Dagger first.
In the pitch-black darkness, more than one person could clearly hear the intense beating of their heartbeats. The tense silence lasted for a long time, but the giant thing called the "ghost rock species" remained motionless. Everyone lowered their minds a little.
Heart.
"Nothing happened? Is that guy dead?"
"Let's get some light first. It will be more dangerous if we can't see anything."
"Well, if anything happens Gu Chen, please retreat first."
Several flame butterflies flew out again to act as floating torches. Red Fish carefully controlled the flame butterflies away from the silent ghost rock species, but this caution may be unnecessary. Before the others reacted, the villain gun user who was not afraid of causing trouble
He quietly approached the ghost rock species, turned the handle of his gun upside down and poked at the dark rock.
Although this move caused everyone's hearts to stop, the ghost rock species still maintained deathly silence.
"Well, this guy seems to be sleeping."
"Nonsense! If we hadn't fallen asleep, we would have been buried with you."
"Damn you dwarf! Get back here, my aunt!"
"Wow! How dare you burn me with a flaming butterfly, you stinky bitch?"
By the time Red Fish used Flame Butterfly to force the villain's gun user back, everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and once again focus on the behemoth in front of them. Needless to say, Gu Chen, who had traveled through time and space, even the elite pioneers
This is the first time for the Guo Bei Group to see ghost rock species at such a close range.
"Tell me, speaking of the ghost rock species, is he the one who trampled to death the third son of the Wu family?"
"That's right, Li Yanggong has been building troops at Jianguan Fortress every year just to guard against them."
"Kinoji and Jianguan are so far apart, why do ghost rock species appear?"
The pioneers discussed in voices that suppressed tension and confusion, and those words also evoked Gu Chen's impression.
Rather than deliberately recalling it, it is better to say that as long as you have a little understanding of Li Yangling, you will know the name of "Ghost Rock Type" no matter what.
The ghost rock species is a superior species of wild monsters. Wild monsters emerge from all things in nature, and different species are formed according to the different creatures. Although the abilities and habits of wild monsters of different species are completely different, even if the wild monsters of the same genus are
Strange, there are also differences in personality.
For example, small stone ghosts and small stone ants are both low-level species among stone monsters, but because stone monsters themselves are strong species, their threat is far greater than weak species such as mud monsters and grass monsters. Like the solid rock species encountered in the cave previously
, among the stone monster species
It is one level higher than the Little Stone Ghost. Even an experienced pioneer like Guo Beishazu would have a hard time dealing with the Gangyan Seeds without the destructive firepower. If five or six Gangyan Seeds gather together, they can even pose a threat to a large and medium-sized city.
.
However, among the known strong stone monsters, if ranked in terms of threat, the Gangyan type probably wouldn't even make it into the top five, while the Ghost type is undoubtedly at the top of the list.
The dark rock mass of the ghost rock species has a hardness comparable to that of meteorite, and in front of that huge body, even the thick city walls will become like paper. In fact, ordinary city walls are simply vulnerable to the ghost rock species.
There are only two cities in the entire Liyang territory that can withstand the ghost rock species. One of them is the main city of Liyang where the female leader of the palace is stationed, and the other is the Jianguan Fortress where Duke Liyang is stationed.
