Ding Meng's mental vision can extend to 15 kilometers away, and his perception results are exactly the same as Qianyue. The two of them have no idea where this place is. According to past experience, this should be deep underground.
The two of them walked forward slowly, Qianyue's armor was also scanning around. Not long after, she was surprised and said: "It is indeed a strange poison from the Devouring World, but the level of this poison... is actually as high as level 5."
Level 5 toxins correspond to the monsters in the Devouring World, which are demon generals. Everyone knows that the terrain in the Devouring World is a heavily polluted swamp, but this huge passage is made of moist sand, and occasionally small groups of mucus melt into the sand.
In the stone, it is inappropriate to say that this is the junction terrain of the Devouring Realm.
After walking for some distance, metal fragments appeared on the ground. If you look closely, aren't they fragments of the Lanchu armor? Apparently a soldier of the Xinghong Group died here, but the problem is that there is no body nearby.
Qianyue used her armor to pick up a steel plate, and after careful observation, she said, "If this person died here, then two years would have passed since his death."
Ding Meng said in a deep voice: "Two years ago, Xinghong Group had not obtained the toxin power technology, the V9 star base had not been built, and the curved mirror could not be activated. How could this person appear here?"
Qianyue was silent for a while. She couldn't explain the reason, but she was confident that she was not wrong: "But the corrosion marks on it are indeed two years old."
"Show me!" Ding Meng said.
Qianyue threw the steel plate to Ding Meng. Ding Meng took it and looked at it carefully: "You don't seem to have made a mistake in judgment."
Qianyue said proudly: "I have been doing this for more than forty years and I have never made a single mistake."
Ding Meng glanced at her: "Do you know that experience can sometimes be more harmful to people?"
Qianyue argued: "That's better than having no experience at all."
Ding Meng did not argue with her and continued to move forward. This time the passage came to an inflection point and began to turn right and go up diagonally.
There was no change in the passage. After about 20 kilometers, they continued to turn right. After turning right three times in a row, the two finally stood still.
The indicator light on the Dark Queen's head suddenly started flashing red, as if it was a warning.
Qianyue's voice became excited: "What the hell is this place?"
Ding Meng's expression also darkened: "Yes, we are back to where we were."
Qian Yue said: "How is this possible? My system has recorded the route and it has been going upwards."
Ding Meng suddenly pointed to the opposite side: "What do you think this is?"
Qianyue lowered her head and saw that the pool of yellow-green phlegm on the ground was what Ding Meng had thrown away before.
She still didn't believe it, so Ding Meng said again: "If you keep walking forward, you might be able to pick up the fragment just now."
Qianyue ran off without saying a word this time. After running for more than ten kilometers, she found the metal plate that had been corroded for two years lying on the ground. She was confident that she could not mistake it. It was the one she had just scanned.
Qianyue suddenly felt a chill rising from her heart, and she said in a deep voice: "Just stay here and don't move."
Ding Meng said: "What? Do you want to walk again to see if you can meet me here?"
That was exactly what she meant. Ding Meng smiled: "I advise you not to bother with that. The result will be the same."
Qian Yue would definitely not believe it. Crystal flames had erupted from the soles of the Dark Queen's feet, and the entire armor had taken off, roaring towards the depths of the passage at an astonishing speed.
In less than ten minutes, she circled around and flew back to the same place. This time she couldn't help but not believe it, because Ding Meng was sitting there and seemed to be taking a nap.
"What's going on?" Qian Yue was confused.
Ding Meng sighed: "There are two possibilities. Let me talk about the first one first. The terrain here should be the Penrose Stairs."
The so-called Penrose Stairs, also known as the Devil's Staircase that you can never get out of, means that you always feel like you are going upstairs, but you are always looping in place. This is a paradox of geometric mathematics, which means that it is completely impossible.
, Of course, this statement cannot be established in a three-dimensional space, but if it is in a four-dimensional space, it is absolutely possible.
Qianyue said in surprise: "Are we in the fourth dimension now? Or is this place a wormhole?"
Ding Meng said: "Another possibility is that the terrain here is changing at any time. I make a hypothesis that if this passage is the first flight of stairs, when we enter the second flight, the first flight will rise to the fourth flight.
We went there, but when we reached the fourth section, we found that we were back to the same place, which was a visual deception.”
Poor Qianyue was confused by Ding Meng's hypothesis: "Okay, I don't understand what you are talking about. I just want to know how we get out of this damn place."
Ding Meng pondered and said: "The first possibility is very small. If it is the second possibility, assuming that we cannot detect the changes in the terrain, it means that our speed is not fast enough and we cannot sense it."
Qianyue hesitated and said, "You mean you want me to run around again?"
Ding Meng waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you are not fast in the armor, you should let me do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared in a flash. Qianyue turned her head in surprise, and Ding Meng's voice had already turned into the right-hand passage ahead.
She couldn't help but murmur to herself: "Who is this kid? With this kind of strength, he is definitely an old monster on the ranking list."
Ding Meng didn't use it for more than a minute before he flashed back to the original place. Because he was too fast, a violent air flow was aroused in the entire passage.
Sure enough, there was a change this time. Dots of light seemed to appear in the turbulent airflow. These dots started to gather from the starting point of the Dead End Cave. After a while, a light and shadow was formed. It was a person wearing a Lan Chu series combat weapon.
A, the soldier holding the God-Slayer Pulse Gun, ran quickly in the direction of Ding Meng and the others, but as he ran, his pace slowed down and his body swayed a little.
Both Ding and Meng stared closely at this light and shadow. The soldier's steps became slower and slower, feeling as if he was physically unwell. Not long after, he knelt on the ground and coughed violently. Soon the cough turned into a hissing, and his whole body became numb.
In violent convulsions.
Ding Meng sighed: "It is parasitized."
Parasitism is a skill that only monsters in the Devouring World have. Like those alien creatures in the universe, they parasitize in the host's body and plunder the host's nutrients and resources.
Sure enough, the armor cracked quickly, and the soldier struggled to crawl out. After taking a few steps, his whole body was shaking violently. Suddenly, his chest burst, and a light and shadow similar to an eel came out, submerged into the ground and disappeared. So far, all the mimetic lights and shadows were gone.
disappear.
Qian Yue understood: "It turns out that it's not the past two years, but the toxins that have corroded the steel plates."
Ding Meng did not answer. He pondered for a long time: "This is not Penrose Stairs. If I guessed correctly, it should be a protected area."
"What protected area?" Qian Yue was confused again and again.
Ding Meng secretly circulated the source energy, mobilized the divine light energy of the smelting space in his body to the wrist guard, and then slowly raised his right palm.
Sure enough, the air in front suddenly twisted and spread out like water ripples. A powerful wave was being generated. A singularity soon appeared and expanded into a star vortex. A few minutes later, a more vivid ghost-eyed demon pupil teleportation array appeared.
This passage is indeed an illusion created by the powerful divine light technology.
Qianyue stared at him suspiciously: "You really know these secrets."
Ding Meng smiled bitterly and said: "It's just intuition!"
It was indeed intuition, because when he was at the workstation, he felt that the wristband sent him a signal: the singularity seemed to be calling for help; and after arriving at this passage, he found traces of monsters from the Devouring World. According to past experience
It seems that Shenguang Technology has always been well hidden, and the singularity will not be easily exposed. Could it be that people from the Devouring World broke into this place? So they created an illusion to let irrelevant people get lost in it forever.
Now that the teleportation array is opened again, this feeling is even stronger.
"Now that you're here, I won't be polite!" Qianyue learned to be smart this time and jumped directly into the ghost eyes.
Unfortunately, it was completely different from the previous teleportation. When her vision returned to normal, she found that she had been teleported to a familiar scene - the alloy channel inside the starship.
This is an extremely long passage, wider than the main road on the mothership. It is simply so huge that you can't even see the end.
"What the hell is going on?" Qian Yue yelled.
As expected, Ding Meng was also called in, and he was also wondering, why is it not the Crystal Plaza of Shenguang Technology?
At this moment, the Queen of the Night's goggles flashed so brightly that the entire passage turned red. This time it was a real high-risk warning. Ding Meng also noticed that someone was coming from the depths of the passage, but the smell was particularly weird, as if
It's not human breath, but the source energy fluctuates very strongly.
Because the passage is too long, the farthest place with normal vision is dark. A strange shadow flashes past and then disappears in the darkness. It feels like the shadow itself is integrated with the darkness.
Qian Yue was strong-willed and turned on the armor's loudspeaker to shout: "Who is this sneaky person? Get out of here!"
The shadow did not disappoint her. A stream of black smoke spewed out from the darkness, and the black smoke slowly transformed into shape in the air. At this moment, Ding Meng almost thought that Meng Yan had touched this place.
However, the black smoke slowly turned into the image of a middle-aged man. He glanced at Ding Meng and Qianyue with very disappointed eyes: "Weird, why are they two strangers?"
Qianyue took two steps forward and shouted sharply: "Who are you?"
"Human?" the middle-aged man smiled disdainfully, "Who are you? Where are you from? How did you get in? Why are there signal fluctuations on your bodies?"
He let it go without answering, and actually asked a series of questions. Ding Meng was about to step forward, but unexpectedly Qianyue moved first. The Queen of the Night scraped out like a chariot, and the oversized alloy fist made a "click, click, click" sound.
But the real war hammer struck.
The middle-aged man looked surprised: "Huh? You are very powerful!"
