In addition to "Fire Flowers", Li Yao and Li Jialing also discovered all kinds of strange underground life.
The biodiversity reminded Li Yao of his past experience of exploring the silver lake under the Skeleton Dragon Star.
However, almost all life deep underground is like a colorful variant of life on the ground, rather than being naturally generated.
It seems that it has also received genetic modulation and artificial intervention from generations of intelligent life since the Pangu and Nuwa civilizations. , to survive in such a harsh environment.
The habitat of most underground life is shelters that have been continuously collapsed, buried and abandoned over hundreds of thousands of years.
In just half a day, Li Yao and Li Jialing passed by three abandoned shelters, or ancient ruins.
Ancient ruins sound quite mysterious and contain endless treasures.
The places that powerful people from all over the world flock to are like the Kunlun secret realm once discovered by the Starry Federation, and the Nuwa battleship deep in the Evernight Icefield near the North Pole of the ancient holy world.
Just like Pangu Underground Palace.
But such ruins that have a special maintenance system or are frozen deep in the Arctic, so they remain intact, are really rare.
Most of the ruins have experienced years of erosion ranging from ten thousand to hundreds of thousands of years.
The slightly valuable magic weapons and corpses have long been annihilated.
They are either wiped out or mixed with lava, losing any possibility of excavation and repair.
This is the case for these three ruins near Area 10084.
The crystal brain system that once had outstanding computing power has long turned into a rusty, twisted and empty shell; the talisman arrays used to purify the air and cool down the temperature are also covered with moss and vines; most of the passages have collapsed.
Blocked by rocks and spewing magma, one can vaguely see the traces of the last victim's painful struggle before death.
All these traces have turned into fossils and are clearly imprinted on the uneven rock walls.
No matter whether the owners of these relics are the Pangu or Nuwa tribes who controlled the Star Sea hundreds of thousands of years ago, or the ancient cultivators who were ignorant but inherited a large number of ancient secret treasures tens of thousands of years ago, or the monsters of the 30,000-year Dark Age.
The nobles of the clan, and even the first batch of modern cultivators in the Star Sea Empire era... did not have any There is no difference.
Their glory and civilization have disappeared, and their corpses have not recovered their original shape.
The dim light of the "Fire Flower" passed over their moss-covered traces, and even the lizards and snakes that hurriedly crawled by were indifferent to their ashes.
Disdainfully, there is really nothing in there that can be sucked and swallowed.
However, finding the ruins means that the savages are not far away.
Because most of the savages are the descendants of the people in these ruins.
Li Yao and Li Jialing both wrapped wisps of spiritual energy with spiritual energy, rippling around like ripples.
Sure enough, not long after, they discovered traces of several savages deep in the darkness.
The two enjoyed a wonderful ambush battle.
At the beginning, it was a man with a red ring hunting a man with black armor.
The Red Ring Man is smaller than ordinary people, about one and a half meters tall, but has bundles of slender and powerful muscles all over his body, like cables tightly tied together, containing amazing explosive power.
They are as light as cheetahs underground, elegant and extremely ferocious.
The upper and lower rows of canine teeth protrude like daggers.
They can just bite a human head from behind, pierce along the eye sockets, and instantly destroy brain tissue deep underground.
There are no other large mammals except humans.
This kind of tooth structure can only show that they are accustomed to feeding on the same kind.
Li Yao paid special attention to the eyes of the man with the red ring, and found that just as Li Jialing described, the pupils were scarlet rings, spreading outward in circles, shining brightly in the dark, and if they were illuminated by the "flame flower" At this time, it is even more sparkling and full of soul-stirring power.
It seems that in addition to "night vision", it also comes with some kind of natural mental attack, which is a magical power similar to "deterrence" and "shock".
Although it is extremely weak, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary prey.
Their ears are also large and flat, with criss-crossed folds.
It is said that the depths of the folds are filled with extremely sensitive sensory organs, which can sense the surrounding topography, as well as the breathing and heartbeat of prey through sound wave feedback.
With such sharp search and attack weapons, the Red Ring people have become the leading hunters in the dark death zone, being at the top of the food chain.
When Li Yao sensed the red-ringed man, he was hanging upside down above a cave, creeping toward another man in black armor who was chewing a lizard.
Li Yao originally thought that the black-armored man was wide and flat, like a turtle.
When he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the black-armored man was also very thin.
The black armor around him was not a monolithic piece, but a structure as fine as fish scales.
More like an armadillo.

Apart from wearing black armor, they have not evolved any more offensive weapons, so they are naturally at a disadvantage in the duel with the Red Ring people.
Seeing that this lonely and ignorant black-armored man was about to die at the hands of the red-ringed men, Li Yao was thinking about whether he should stop the fight between the two savages.
Suddenly, just as the man with the red ring jumped towards the man with the black armor, something that looked like a stalagmite next to him suddenly moved, and threw a black shadow hard at the man with the red ring, hitting the man with the red ring all at once.
Fall to the ground.
It's a Nightwing disguised as a rock!
Li Yao was shocked by the sophistication of the Nightwing man's "mimicry".
Even though he was seriously injured and had only activated one-tenth of his spiritual power for detection, the Nightwing man was able to escape his scanning. , the racial talents evolved deep underground are quite sharp.
Moreover, this is obviously a pre-set trap, with the men in black armor acting as bait and the nightwings as the main attackers.
Let's hunt this careless red ring man together.
They can set such a careful trap, which shows that the light of wisdom has not been completely extinguished. , still in the category of "human", not just a beast in human skin.
The black shadow that the Nightwings smashed out seemed to be a super alloy component of some kind of magic weapon.
It also had sharp edges and corners, and was like a mace when wielded.
After all, the Red Ring Man was made of flesh and blood.
He hadn't practiced psychic powers yet, so he took this heavy blow and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Seeing the black-armored and night-winged men screaming and trying to bite the throat of their prey, Li Yao stood up from the depths of darkness and slightly increased the excitement of his spiritual energy.
The underground residents were extremely alert to danger.
The Black Armor and the Nightwings didn't even hesitate for half a second before they dropped their prey, retreated into the depths of darkness, and fled.
Li Yao did not stop them, but stepped forward to check on the red ring man's condition.
His head was hit hard, and his skull was deeply dented from the temple on the left side.
He could only breathe in but not out.
He looked like he would not survive.
Li Yao carefully observed the body of the man with the red ring and found that although he was not wearing any clothes, there were beetles gnawing out of his chest, and he had uneven tattoos.
There was also a rubber band tied to his right arm, with two sharp bone blades strung on it.
Jialing told Li Yao that the Red Ring people have the habit of polishing bone blades with the teeth of their dead relatives.
They believe that the souls of the dead are attached to the sharp canine teeth like daggers.
Such bone blades will bring good luck to the living and protect the living. safety.
It seems that the close relative of this red ring man did not bring him good luck today.
However, the intricate tattoos and unique customs also prove that the Red Ring people are not the ignorant beasts wearing human skins slandered by immortal cultivators, but members of the human family.
Li Yao could even accept monsters with snarling teeth and grotesque shapes.
Naturally, he had no reason to reject these underground races who still retained most of their human features.
The strange eyes of the man with the red ring gradually lost their dim light and turned into a dead gray like a rock.
His chest also completely stopped rising and falling.
The tight muscles relaxed one by one, but the tendons contracted and stiffened, making him pose.
A very twisted posture.
Li Yao sighed, crossed the hands of the red-ringed man on his chest, pretended to be sleeping peacefully, put him in the corner of the cave, and then blasted down the rocks to bury the body.
For the time being, there was only so much he could do.
Much more.
Li Jialing had been watching silently, hesitating to speak several times, but in the end he still did not express his doubts.
After burying the red ring man, the two moved on.
The caves and fissures ahead were even more rugged and secretive.
If it weren't for the map and coordinate guidance, and the fact that Long Yangjun sprayed huge arrows with a special fluorescent agent when he went deep into the ground, Li Yao and Li Jialing would never have imagined that they would be there.
In such a desolate underground world, there are still dark and bright roads.
Then I walked down and crawled for half a day.
Suddenly, a tunnel with a diameter of thirty or forty meters appeared out of nowhere.
The spiral patterns on the wall must be some kind of super giant drill.

Developed by the earth magic weapon.
"I'm afraid it wasn't the Pangu tribe or the Nuwa tribe who pioneered it hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
Li Yao observed the surrounding environment and said, "It was supposed to lead to...the ground?
But later, due to the vicissitudes of life and the drastic geological changes, the first half of the tunnel leading to the ground collapsed and was buried, and nothing remained, leaving only the back half. , becomes a headless and tail-like form.”
There is light at the end of the tunnel.
Moreover, the oxygen content and air pressure of the air in front are different from those here, so that an air flow similar to a draft is born.
The positioning chip showed that Long Yangjun's coordinates were directly ahead, at the end of the giant tunnel.
Li Yao and Li Jialing looked at each other.
Since they are all here, there is nothing to hesitate about.
If Long Yangjun really has ulterior motives, there is no need to save them from the Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi.
If he really wants to harm Li Yao, There have been plenty of opportunities in the past ten days, so there is no need to go to any lengths to trick them here before taking action.
"Let's go and see what this bitch is up to!"
Li Yao waved his hand and strode towards the end of the tunnel.
