Chapter 171, Magma River
To evolve, Ma Laosan wants to evolve, but he is unwilling to take risks. He would rather slowly deal with the wild animals that invade the farm than bet with his life.
In fact, in the past two days, perhaps because of the appearance of the Cyclops, some panicked wild animals moved to a twenty-mile area around the farm.
As long as Ma Laosan is more cautious, it is not difficult to deal with these wild animals.
After all, the strongest wild animals were the second-level troops. There were not many groups, and the largest group was only five or six. They were really unable to deal with them. They led the other party outside the wall of the farm. With the iron cannon firing, everything was solved.
With Ma Laosan guarding the farm, Cheng Kong felt much more relieved.
After all, even the bearded man with the highest IQ will make many mistakes when facing the enemy's attack. Dullness is a weakness that is difficult for them to remove.
A leader like Ma Laosan cannot be pioneering, but he will not make the mistake of being aggressive.
Cheng Kong went to the underground passage this time and did not bring any subordinates as usual. After all, in a strange place like the underground passage, if he encounters a strong enemy, the subordinates he brought with him may have to die in vain, and he will be able to escape by himself.
Back at the deep pit, Cheng Kong did not rush down. After observing carefully for a while, he found that no new footprints appeared. He dragged down the rope and headed straight to the colorful fountain.
Perhaps because this place is too remote, the warning trap placed by Cheng Kong near the colorful fountain was not touched by the creature.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Kong was completely relieved and strided into the colorful fountain pool water.
Compared to the darkness yesterday, the sewage in the colorful fountain has disappeared today.
Cheng Kong took off his clothes and lay naked in the pool water. A lot of warmth was soaked in the body through his skin, making people drowsy.
Cheng Kong first used internal force to flow all the acupuncture meridians on his right arm several times to nourish the acupuncture meridians where he passed.
Although internal force can nourish nearby acupuncture meridians by itself, the effect of conscious guidance from Cheng Kong is much worse.
What's more, lying in the colorful fountain, the warmth of the spring water penetrates into the body, and the gap becomes bigger and bigger.
After several times flowing in the meridians of the acupoints on the right arm, the internal force that absorbed a lot of warmth had expanded and thickened to several times before. The meridians on the right arm could no longer accommodate this massive amount of internal force. Cheng Kong gently guided it, and the internal force like a tide rushed along the meridians, along the giant bones, Bingfeng, Quyuan and other acupoints, towards the Qishe point.
The Qishe point is a little deeper at the base of the clavicle. Cheng Kong wanted to open up the meridians connecting the left arm at this time.
After the meridians are opened, the strength of the right arm increases sharply, which is a good thing, but the difference in strength between the arms is too large, which makes Cheng Kong feel uncomfortable, and even some inconsistencies in archery.
As a result, the accuracy of archery has dropped significantly.
As a archer, this kind of thing is not something Cheng Kong can tolerate.
Therefore, it is necessary to open up the meridian acupoints of the left hand so that the strength of the hands is balanced.
Cheng Kong closed his eyes and lay in the pool water, as if he was enjoying a hot spring, but if he carefully observed his face, he would find that Cheng Kong was gritting his teeth and enduring incomparable pain.
The internal force strikes the blocked acupuncture points again and again, and the meridians are shattered and come back.
Thanks to the help of the colorful fountain, Cheng Kong was able to rush into the acupoints every five minutes, which was hundreds of times faster than those masters of Chinese martial arts.
With Cheng Kong's persistence, each acupoint and meridian were opened one by one.
As the acupuncture meridians were unobstructed, the originally transparent and clean pool water was gradually dyed black again.
I don’t know how long it took, but the last meridian on my left arm was penetrated by internal force. In a blink of an eye, the rushing internal force flow slowed down and it circulated over and over again along with the meridians on both hands.
Compared with the internal strength and mental method taught by Murong Xue to Cheng Kong, the direction of internal force flowing in Cheng Kong is now completely different.
Of course, only he can do this way of internal force flow, and he will not even dare to try it if others do.
The internal force starts from the tip of the right finger, treats the meridians as a river, flows out, passes through the right arm, chest, and then flows into the left arm, and finally reaches the tip of the left finger. Then flows through another meridian and flows through the right finger, forming a somewhat strange little circle.
After dozens of times, the pool water became extremely dark, and Cheng Kong stood up from the pool water with a happy expression on his face.
The warmth in the colorful fountain is already very faint. If you want to absorb it, you have to wait for a day.
Cheng Kong could not stay here specifically, anyway, the colorful fountain might run away by itself, so Cheng Kong picked up his big bow and walked towards the depths of the passage.
Cheng Kong wanted to see what the Hei Niucheng was like. It can be imagined that for a considerable period of time, Cheng Kong would have to stay near the colorful fountain. If he didn't understand the surrounding situation clearly, Cheng Kong would not feel at ease.
After walking about ten miles away, the underground passage broke out and was divided into two passages.
One passage is still huge and spacious, while the other passage is a few smaller. It seems that it should be a branch of the underground passage.
Obviously, this kind of bifurcation is likely to be encountered frequently in underground passages, so Cheng Kong immediately named the passage he had walked through as Channel 1, while the large passage after the bifurcation was named Channel 1, and the small branch passage was named Channel 12.
If you encounter a bifurcation in the subsequent channel, then so on, such as Channel 111, Channel 112, etc., it is clear at a glance. Cheng Kong always doesn't believe that this bifurcation will divide ten channels at once.
But even so, use A for ten, B for eleven, etc. later.
Cheng Kong then used arrows to engrave the names of the passage near the two bifurcated passages to avoid getting lost.
After doing all this, Cheng Kong walked into Channel 12 without hesitation.
Compared with Channel 11, Chengkong's reason for choosing Channel 12 is very simple. This channel is much narrower and may be a dead end. Therefore, it must be investigated and eliminated first. Otherwise, if one day he escapes to a dead end, it will be miserable.
Compared with Channel 1, Channel 12 is very irregular, sometimes turning left and sometimes turning right. If there is not a fork in the road, Cheng Kong will have to be confused.
The passage was very quiet, with only Cheng Kong's slight footsteps. To be honest, it was really difficult to play sneak attacks in such an environment, so Cheng Kong didn't have to listen to it every once in a while.
Cheng Kong walked along the passage for about twenty miles and heard a continuous sound.
It's like running water, but it's very slow, and a slight burst sound will come from time to time.
Underground River? Cheng Kong shook his head, it didn't look very similar.
The slight burst gave people a very sticky feeling.
After walking closer, some strange screams came over, but the screams were not meaningful.
Hearing this, Cheng Kong couldn't help but speed up his pace. Under the influence of these noises, Cheng Kong's footsteps have been completely covered, so there is no need to worry that the footsteps will expose his whereabouts.
The air began to get a little hot, and even the ground became a little hot.
The more Cheng Kong walked inside, the clearer the sound coming from inside, and a strong smell of sulfur came.
Without more guessing, Cheng Kong concluded that the slow sound of flowing water should be a magma river, and the slight bursting sound was the sound brought by the magma bubble when it bursts.
After rushing to the end of the passage a few steps, Cheng Kong was stunned.
It was a wide underground world, a magma river that could not see the end was slowly flowing through this underground world.
The ground is black, and stones of all sizes cover the ground. On the banks of the magma river, some strange creatures are busy. They use a windmill to lift the boiling magma from the river, and then use a channel to introduce the magma into a building converted from huge rocks.
Other creatures moved some iron spirit out of the boulder and piled it on a flat ground.
Those creatures should be little devils?
Cheng Kong hesitated a little. After all, he had never seen such a first-level hell military force with his own eyes.
However, these creatures are similar to Bolling's introduction. They have dark red skin, standing in a human form, half a human tall, thorny tail, pointed ears, a short horn on their forehead, and a small steel fork in their hands.
That huge stone building should be an iron smelting site. It seems that this magma river is rich in iron ore.
If this iron smelting field can be captured, then your iron spirit will have a source.
Cheng Kong carefully observed the underground world and found that it was not easy to capture the iron smelting field.
The straight line distance from the entrance of the passage to the iron smelting field is more than four miles, and there are at least fifty little devils and hundreds of fleshworms on this straight line.
Whether it is the little devil or the demon larvae, they are fighting each other.
Since there is a little devil, the flesh worm should be a zero-level creature demon larvae in the hell system. The body is like an earthworm, with flesh rolling, and it looks a bit gratifying, but when it opens the big mouth at the front, it is a bit scary, and it is covered with sharp teeth. If you take a bite, even the little devil will be bitten into two pieces.
But the little devil always has the upper hand. After all, the speed of the demon larvae is a bit slow. Before she opened her mouth, the small steel fork on the little devil's hand can be inserted into the demon larvae several times.
This drama is being staged where Cheng Kong's naked eyes are reaching.
I don’t know how many little devils and demon larvae fight each other in this underground world. From time to time, little devils or demon larvae will fall down and become food for surrounding creatures.
They do not wait for the corpse to decompose into an evolutionary light ball like Cheng Kong. As long as a creature falls down, the creatures around them will stop fighting and start sharing food.
They eat very quickly, and the corpses have no time to decompose, and they turn into pieces of meat and fall into their stomachs.
