Apocalyptic Dark Age

After marching forward for almost five hours, he had already penetrated more than 600 kilometers underground. Even Xianfeng Jialuo's powerful body could not bear it, and the path he walked was not a straight road, with various cave entrances. He has never drilled less, and has seen various luminous minerals and plants underground. The most common ones are mushrooms and small beasts with degraded eyes.

Underground, the most indispensable thing is water. At the peak, we encountered several rivers blocking the way. From time to time, fish would jump out of these rushing rivers, twist on the ground a few times, and then jump back into the water. It rained a lot. Feed on mushrooms that grow densely near water.

The river is like their restaurant. They jump from the rushing water to the shore, take a few bites of mushrooms, and then jump back into the water, like a frog without legs. But not every fish is so lucky. There are some meat-eating hunters hiding in the middle. They wait patiently among the mushrooms, raising their heads from time to time to smell the smell in the air. Once they smell the fishy smell, all the muscles in their body begin to tighten. As long as they hear the fish coming out of the water, The sound was like a black afterimage rushing towards the fish, biting the plump fish, dragging it to the middle of the mushrooms and enjoying it slowly.

These little beasts that look like civet cats with long tentacles but no eyes are very agile. They don't need vision and rely only on air vibrations to find the location of their prey. They can tear it into pieces fiercely and brutally and swallow it into their stomachs, leaving the leftovers. The bones and scales nourish the growth of mushrooms in another way.

Mushrooms are not only eaten by fish, but also by various insects. Most of these insects build nests among the mushrooms, either alone or in groups. Like termites, they eat away the huge mushrooms. When the hollowed-out mushrooms are about to collapse, they eat them. Just like nomads, they lined up in a long queue, bypassing many obstacles and settling in another fertile pasture.

Here, Gao Feng saw a small animal that looked like a rabbit. It had long ears and eyes reduced to the size of mung beans, but it had layers of scales. It looked like a pangolin, and its claws were extremely sharp and could easily break stones from it. dig out the cracks and build a strong nest for yourself.

This seemingly irritating guy is actually the most docile. They neither eat fish nor other high-protein foods. They only eat the remains of mushrooms eaten by insects. Like scavengers, they remove the discarded food. After the garbage was cleared, these little guys, called armed rabbits by the peak, were very worried. They dragged the rotten and wet mushrooms to their nests and piled them up layer by layer. Occasionally, they would take a sip of water from the river and spray it among the food. , seems to be waiting for these things to ferment, and enjoys every meal with a little bit of wine flavor.

Gao Feng has no intention of hunting the animals here for food. Three-star cones can make people energetic and not hungry for seventy-two hours. Gao Feng has only been full for twenty hours, so he has no interest in knowing what the underground species is. What a taste.

The underground river is a big obstacle for ordinary people. The rushing river water collides from time to time, splashing layers of waves, and punching holes in the rocks on both sides of the river. The river is densely covered with reefs, and you will be hit on the head if you are not careful. Breaking the blood flow, even the sometimes exposed and sometimes hidden river rocks are extremely smooth, and one hundred percent will cause you to fall if you step on them.

But these are nothing to Gao Feng. He is already very good at controlling metal. A chain dart can be pointed wherever it hits. As long as it can be embedded in the cracks of the rock, he can be 100% fixed. He can swing across the river like Tarzan. Reach the other end.

The icy water vapor made it feel as if there was a slight chill in early spring underneath. This slight chill stimulated Gao Feng's cheeks as he took off his mask, and his spirit was lifted a lot. Under the illumination of phosphorescent fluorite, Gao Feng saw all kinds of strange animals and plants, including many plants. It was unheard of, and it had black or purple fruits that were coveted.

Gao Feng would never put these fruits into his mouth. He was as wary of plants in every location as he was of black thorns.

Although Gao Feng had no urge to eat, he would collect some fruits or grass blades that had obviously been eaten by animals and put them in the metal backpack behind him. Along the way, Gao Feng was calm in his exploration of new plants and did not feel any discomfort. The road ahead is difficult.

With something to do, he didn't feel the passage of time. Before he knew it, he reached the peak of a cliff, which was suspended above the abyss. It was very similar to the cave where he fell into the tunnel before, except that it was much larger. And at the bottom of the abyss, which is unknown how deep, some dark red light can be vaguely seen. The temperature here is even higher, almost over 30 degrees.

Gao Feng held onto the rock wall with one hand and stretched out half of his body to look down. However, he felt guilty as never before. At such a height, it would be hard to say if he fell.

There was no three-star cone in this dome-like cave, and there was no lighting. The surrounding area was dark, but you could feel the heat of the hot wind blowing on your cheeks. Gao Feng faced two choices, go back the same way, or continue moving forward.

If we return, even if we are familiar with the road, it will take more than 20 hours, and we may not be able to dig through the ice chips blocking the exit. But if we continue to move forward, will we still dig support points from the rock wall like we just did?

Gao Feng was extremely troubled. He drew out his machete and dug out more than ten pieces of gravel from the rock wall around him. Each piece of gravel was about the size of an egg. According to Gao Feng's current arm strength, he could easily throw it a hundred meters.

The light of fluorite could only cover an area less than twenty meters. Gao Feng threw stones to ask for directions, throwing stones one after another, listening and recalling.

No matter whether it was left or right or up and down, there was no echo. It was like being swallowed by a monster in the dark. A drop of cold sweat flowed down Gao Feng's forehead.

Everything in front is unknown, and the safest thing is to turn behind you. At least everything there is familiar to him.

The peak messenger touched the rock wall and found that it was made of harder basalt than before, which made him even more confused.

Sitting on the cliff, Gao Feng looked down at the faint red color below, chewing a three-star cone in his mouth. The three-star cone was still unpalatable, but it didn't create a warm current in his heart that spread to his whole body like before. Naturally, it didn't either. The extra energy provided to him filled his slightly hungry stomach.

After filling his belly, Gao Feng stood up and turned around suddenly. He was about to go back the way he came. At this moment, a gust of wind blew from nowhere and hit his nose with a hint of fresh breath. Gao Feng suddenly stopped. .

"As long as I can find this exit, I can fly back..."

This thought flashed through his mind instantly, and the next moment Gao Feng smiled, and he fell into inertial thinking.

Gao Feng looked deeply into the darkness beyond the cliff. He suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arms to form a cross, and jumped down to the boundless cliff.

The hot wind full of sulfur smell continued to hit Gao Feng's face, but the helmet disappeared, revealing his unruly mid-length hair, which was like a rising flame, dancing around the back of his head. Gao Feng's eyes widened, and his heart kept beating. Accelerating his jump, he was falling towards the center of the magma.

"Ah!!!" Gao Feng suddenly opened his mouth and roared, exploding like rolling thunder in the silent space. Gao Feng was like a meteor falling towards the magma, but his heart was soaring like a flying bird. The bright red magma below continued to grow and become fiery red. A piece of it, like the sun rushing towards him.

Just before the peak was about to fall into the bubbling magma, there was a sound of hitting the ground, and two huge wings spread out behind him. The peak was suspended in the high-temperature and hot air flow, and was located in the center of the magma. The magma was rolling and hot, as if it could destroy The fire that destroys everything.

Layers of metal cover Gao Feng's cheeks and mid-length hair again, like a seraph wearing armor, thinking in the magma.

Just now Gao Feng was stuck in a corner, thinking that he could only fly when he reached the sky. In fact, no matter in the sky or underground, as long as there is space, you can fly and fly freely.

As long as he can fly, he doesn't have to be afraid of any danger. Even if it melts him along the river, the lakes along the river emit high temperatures and bake the metal armor under his feet. However, the peak seems to be unable to feel the temperature. Enjoy the excitement and passion of this moment. .

Suddenly, the magma lake with a radius of several hundred meters suddenly rolled, sputtering golden magma fragments into the sky like a spring. Once these magma left the lake, they began to dim quickly. The tallest fragment almost rubbed the toes of the peak, making The peak rises involuntarily.

Suddenly, the entire magma lake suddenly separated, and a rugged monster head with unicorn horns emerged from the magma. This monster's head had thirteen long, crystal-clear horns like fire jade, except for the smallest one on its nose. In addition, other long horns are arranged along the narrow and huge forehead, like the neck bones of whales after death. Countless calf-thick, arm-long horns are densely grown on cuticle-like scales, wrapping the monster's head. Extraordinarily ferocious.
