Chapter 229 Unlocking a New Area in the Dungeon

The stairs leading to the underground city seemed like an ancient relic. The mottled stone steps were full of traces of weathering and fractures. They were uneven and very steep to walk on.

Looking at the underground entrance deep inside, it seemed as if there was no light source inside, as if the abyss opened its hideous mouth, waiting for food to enter its mouth automatically.

Chen Ye walked on the stairs, and inexplicably felt that this journey seemed longer than he had imagined.

Unconsciously, he had walked many steps.

The surrounding vision was getting darker and darker, as if he was about to walk into a completely dark world.

Walking all the way from the pedestrian street at night, Chen Ye's eyes had adapted to the darkness and could see the outline of objects clearly.

But when he came here, even if he stretched out his five fingers and put them in front of him, he could not see anything.

Only in the aura of luck, a faint black mist extended towards the depths, which could determine the path he was taking.

In the air...

A rotten smell suddenly came from all around.

At this moment, the blood-red text in Chen Ye's vision suddenly gave a hint--

[The dungeon belongs to rats and mice, hiding shameful deeds. ]

[This place is more complicated than a maze and more dangerous than a cave. ]

[Better be careful! ]

[If you accidentally step into the "lightless land", you may never see the light again in your life. ]

Chen Ye frowned and stared at the blood-red text that appeared in front of him.

"Lightless land... Is this a copy of the Eternal Night type?"

Legend has it that there is a land of eternal night, belonging to darkness, where only wandering undead stay.

There is never light here, only endless darkness and struggle.

Even the glory of the scorching sun has never lit up here.

Since the version of the Eternal Night appeared, the [Scorching Sun], which was originally in a dominant position, has fallen again and again, as if it had met its nemesis.

In the second month, high-difficulty copies are no longer limited to the "Pollution Paradise", but appear in various places?

"If this place is really related to [Lightless Land] and [Eternal Night], then it is also a high-level dungeon area!" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

Sure enough, judging from the hints in the bloody text, this underground city that suddenly appeared should also be a dangerous area.

He moved his mind slightly, controlling his spiritual power and injecting it into the [Scorching Sun Scroll].

The next second...

The scroll flew into the air, bursting with bright flames, illuminating everything around.

At this moment, a cliff entrance like a cave appeared in front of them, and below was a steep and narrow road.

Several corpses lay on both sides of the road!

They were wearing tattered wanderer clothes, and the corpses were already smelly. I don't know how many traces of death there were. White maggots emerged from their bodies and were gnawing at the epidermis.

Among them, half of the faces of several corpses were completely sunken, revealing the messy blood vessels, fascia, and eerie white bones inside.

When the sacred flame illuminated the surroundings, the white maggots seemed to sense some kind of danger and suddenly turned into pieces of normal flesh color, reassembling the homeless man's skin, making it look like a complete body.

"These bugs... actually have the ability to camouflage?"

Chen Ye frowned slightly, squatted down, and leaned over to take a look.

Originally, the face of the homeless corpse was completely sunken, and it was hideous and terrifying.

But now, those potholes were suddenly filled with flesh and blood, as if the corpse had just died, not for many days.

Half suspended in the air, the burning sun scroll, under the control of Chen Ye's mind, approached the corpses.

With the help of the bright firelight, he could see the corpses more clearly.

The corpse was wearing tattered clothes, with many wool-like wrinkles on the corners, and several places were moldy due to moisture, showing dull traces.

According to the appearance of death, it is estimated that it was a homeless man who chose to run to the underground city to take shelter from the bloody rainstorm a few days ago. They were eroded by the bloody water, and their bodies were full of parasites. Even if they hid in the underground world, they still couldn't escape the outbreak of diseases.

These bugs carry the attribute of pollution.

Chen Ye looked towards the depths of the underground city, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Before, when he first encountered Chenxi in the underground corridor in the old city, there were countless bloody bugs digging holes here.

But there is no subway station in the underground of the old city, only a drainage system.

Could it be that... those bugs opened up something, so the underground city appeared?

If this is true...

Then, many things that originally belonged to the polluted paradise may not have been destroyed, but ran into the underground.

There is even a restricted area of ​​"lightless land" here!

The situation has become more complicated.

"When I was in Shenghai Village, I killed the source of pollution with my own hands."

"Could the remaining pollution have come to this place?"

"So, from the cause and effect of fate, the dungeon and I have such a fate?"

For a moment, Chen Ye instantly connected his own "fate" and the entire process of the dungeon's appearance together, thinking about the reasons.

It seems that from the stage of the "Dragon God" riot, he has seen the opportunity for the dungeon to appear.

So, according to the connection of "fate", will he encounter something in it again?

The mind moved.

The scroll dropped several sacred flames, completely burning the corpses.

Sizzle!

The white maggots inside made a sharp and strange cry, and immediately turned into ashes under the scorching of the sacred flame.

The reason why Chen Ye did this was that he had no intention of keeping these insects related to "pollution" at all.

Since he destroyed the source of pollution with his own hands, he must have forged a life-and-death feud with this characteristic.

Kindness to the enemy is leniency to oneself.

What's more, these homeless people are considered compatriots. Although they are dead and have no chance of resurrection, Chen Ye can't just watch them being destroyed by white maggots.

Purification with sacred flames can be said to be the best ending.

After doing all this, Chen Ye entered the depths of the underground cave.

At this moment...

In his mind, the [Wanderer Map] burst into a magical brilliance.

On the golden parchment scroll, a series of ink-colored outlines outlined the underground world.

At this moment, the cave at the entrance split into two long tunnels on the left and right, like a subway station that was dug out, leading to both ends.

The square of the platform was much wider than expected, almost equivalent to the size of an exhibition hall.

When Chen Ye entered the underground entrance, the red dot on the map was exactly in the center of the exhibition hall.

It was an underground cave, surrounded by broken walls and ruins, with a few traces of civilization, but the stalactites above seemed natural and primitive.

Many ragged figures, leaning against the stone wall, were lying on the ground in all directions, resting.

Faint breathing sounds came one after another.

Chen Ye illuminated the surroundings with firelight, startling many homeless people who were sleeping. They sat up one after another, with numb expressions and slightly frightened eyes, staring at Chen Ye, as if there was something terrible on him.

Especially looking at the [Scorching Sun Scroll] floating above his head, the fear became more intense.

Suddenly...

Chen Ye saw a faint blood light connected to the burning [Scorching Sun Scroll], and his mind moved:

"Will the light source bring some kind of threat in the world of the underground city?"

In this case, the light source of the scorching sun scroll cannot be used to illuminate the surrounding roads.

To be on the safe side, he did not continue to consume his spiritual power and burn the scroll.

After all, from the perspective of the luck aura, this approach is of no benefit to him, it is easy to attract danger, and it also continues to consume his own spiritual power.

He put away the [Scorching Sun Scroll], and the light source dimmed, the vision returned to darkness, and the blood light lingering nearby slowly faded away.

As expected!

The strategy of taking back the scroll is indeed correct.

To move in this underground city, you need to adapt to the movement without light, which will bring some trouble.

After all, there are intricate roads everywhere around.

So...

Is there any way to see the surrounding objects clearly?

Chen Ye thought of a way to use his spiritual power and began to summon Yu Xian.

"Master, I'm here!"

The gray mist that escaped from afar quickly outlined Yuxian's figure. His voice was clear and his expression was full of excitement and excitement.

It seemed like he had encountered something good!

Chen Ye noticed that Yuxian's energy had become stronger.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Can you see the objects around you clearly and transmit the images to me?"

"Hmm..." Yuxian made a pair of telescopes with his hands, looking east and west. After trying, he finally sighed in failure: "Master, it seems that it's not possible... It's too dark here. Why is it so dark? I can't see anything!"

Chen Ye frowned. He thought that Yuxian, as a spirit, should be able to see the objects around him, just like when he was in Yong'an Market.

But now I think that this underground city is different from Yong'an Market. The former covers his eyes and cannot see the light source; the latter has no light source itself, and even with the help of a third party's vision, it is impossible to see what is around.

Of course, Chen Ye knew that this was not a real "lightless land", and the light of the sacred flame could still burn here.

If it was a real "lightless land", even the flame could not illuminate the road ahead.

"Is there no way to see the surrounding roads clearly?" Chen Ye thought to himself.

Although he had the [Wanderer Map], it was not the [Live Point Map] after all, and it would not show any living beings passing by nearby.

Compared with the Yong'an Market, the underground city was not a trading place, and there were no rules such as protection.

Moreover, there were many unknown beings, including players...

who might exist in this area.

If you can't see clearly what's nearby, it will be particularly obvious if you walk around in this area.

If you are an aboriginal, most of them choose a safe area and stay still.

But if you walk around, it's easy to identify the player.

Chen Ye is not afraid of the aboriginals, but the players are the ones who are really hard to guard against!

Since this area is governed by the thugs, it will definitely be dangerous for him to walk around here as a player.

It is better to keep a certain degree of vision clarity, at least to be able to see the possible threats around.

"Hey! There is a mouse!"

Yuxian's nose moved, and his eyes lit up:

"Master, there is a mouse, I can catch it for you!"

"Mouse?" Chen Ye showed a puzzled look, "Where is it..."

He looked for a long time, his eyes slightly moved upwards, and suddenly found a few gray mist clouds.

The posture is the same as that of a mouse...

Wait, could it be that the mouse that Yuxian mentioned is actually a spirit?

"Master, mice can see objects in the dark clearly, I can catch it for you!"

At some point, a chain appeared in Yuxian's hand, shining with glass light.

He held the chain as if holding a whip for punishment, his eyes revealed excitement, and his face was eager to try.

"This chain..."

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and observed with the eyes of luck, and immediately noticed that the chain contained characteristics.

Since the bone ring, Yuxian has another special item. Thinking carefully, it is very likely that it was given by "that adult" he often talked about.

The next second...

The chain in Yuxian's hand twisted a few times in the void as if it was given life, and suddenly it automatically entangled towards the gray mist.
