Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

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

Looking into the deep underground entrance, it seems that there is no light source inside, just like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting for food to automatically enter the mouth.

As Chen Ye walked on the stairs, he felt that the journey was longer than he thought.

Before I knew it, I had taken many steps.

The surrounding vision is getting darker and darker, as if we are walking into a world of complete darkness.

Walking along the pedestrian street at night, Chen Ye's eyes had adapted to the darkness and could clearly see the outlines of objects.

But when I came here, even if I stretched out my five fingers and put them in front of me, I couldn't see anything.

Only in the halo of luck, a faint black mist extends towards the depths, can determine the path taken.

in the air……

A rotten smell suddenly came from all around.

At this moment, the red text in Chen Ye's field of vision suddenly prompted a message——

[The underground city is a place for mice and rats, where shady deeds are hidden. 】

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

【Better be careful! 】

[If you make a mistake and step into the "lightless land", you may never see the light again in your life. 】

Chen Ye frowned and stared at the bloody words appearing 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, a place of darkness where only the wandering undead dwell.

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

Even the brilliance of the blazing sun has never shined here.

Since the appearance of Yongye's version, [Fierce Sun], which was originally the dominant player, has fallen again and again, as if it has encountered a nemesis.

In the second month, are high-difficulty dungeons no longer limited to the 'Polluted Paradise', but appearing everywhere?

"If this place is really related to [Lightless Land] and [Eternal Night], then it can be considered an advanced dungeon area!" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

Sure enough, judging from the prompts in the bloody text, the dungeon that suddenly appeared should also be a dangerous area.

With a slight movement of his mind, he controlled the spiritual power and injected it into the [Fire Sun Scroll].

The next second...

The scroll "soared" into the air and burst into bright fire, illuminating everything around it.

At this moment, a cave-like cliff entrance appeared ahead, with a steep and narrow road below.

Several corpses lay on both sides of the road!

They were wearing tattered homeless clothes, and their bodies were already stinking. There were countless signs of death, and white maggots were emerging from their bodies, gnawing at the skin.

Among them, half of the faces of several corpses were completely sunken, exposing the messy blood vessels, fascia, and stark 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, and reassembled the homeless man's skin, making it look like it was complete.

"These bugs... actually have the ability to disguise themselves?"

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

Originally, the face of the homeless man's corpse was completely sunken and hideous.

But now, those pitted places were suddenly filled with flesh and blood, as if the body had just died, instead of having been dead for many days.

Half-suspended in the air, the burning sun scroll, controlled by Chen Ye's thoughts, approached the corpses.

With the bright firelight, he could see the body 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 marks.

Judging from the signs of death, he was probably 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 blood-colored water, and their bodies were filled with parasites. Even if they hid in the underground world, they still could not escape the outbreak of the disease.

These bugs carry the property of pollution.

Chen Ye looked into the depths of the underground city and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Previously, in the underground tunnel where he first encountered the morning light in the old city, there were countless bloody insects digging holes there.

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

Could it be that... those bugs opened something up and made the dungeon appear?

If that's the case...

Then, it is possible that many things that originally belonged to the pollution paradise were not eliminated, but went underground.

There is even a restricted area of ​​"Lightless Land"!

The situation becomes more complicated.

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

"Could it be that the remaining pollution came to this place?"

"So, in terms of the causal connection of fate, Dungeon and I still have such a fate?"

For a moment, Chen Ye connected his own "destiny" and the entire process of the emergence of the dungeon together, and thought about the reasons.

It seemed that from the stage of the 'Dragon God' uprising, he had already seen the opportunity for the emergence of the dungeon.

So, according to the connection of "destiny", could I encounter something inside again?

His mind moved.

Several rays of sacred flame fell from the scroll, completely burning the corpses.

Sizzle!

The white maggots inside made a sharp and strange scream, and were immediately reduced to ashes under the heat of the sacred flames.

The reason why Chen Ye did this was that he had no intention of keeping these bugs related to 'pollution'

Since he personally destroyed the source of pollution, he must have formed a life-and-death feud with this trait.

Kindness to the enemy is mercy to oneself.

What's more, these homeless people are compatriots. Although they are dead and have no chance to be resurrected, Chen Ye cannot just watch their bodies 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 time……

In his mind, the [Wanderer Map] erupted into a magical light.

On the golden parchment scrolls, ink outlines outline the underground world.

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

The platform square is 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 ruins, leaving some traces of civilization. However, the stalactites above seemed natural and primitive.

Many figures in ragged clothes were lying on the ground in a mess, leaning against the stone wall, resting.

The sound of weak breathing came and went.

Chen Ye illuminated the surroundings with firelight, alarming many sleeping homeless people. They all sat up cross-legged, with numb expressions and slightly frightened eyes, staring at Chen Ye, as if there was something terrifying about him.

Especially when he looked at the [Fire Sun Scroll] suspended above his head, his fear became even more intense.

suddenly……

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

"Light source, in the world of dungeons, will it bring some kind of threat?"

In this case, the light source of the Sun Scroll cannot be used to illuminate the surrounding roads.

To be on the safe side, he did not consume spiritual energy and burn scrolls all the time.

After all, judging from the aura of luck, such an approach would not be of any benefit to oneself, it would easily bring danger, and it would also continue to consume one's own spirituality.

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

as expected!

The strategy of recovering the scroll is indeed correct.

To operate in this dungeon, you need to adapt to lightless operations, which will cause some trouble.

After all, there are intricate roads all around.

So……

Is there any way to see the objects around me clearly?

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

"Master, I'm here!"

The cloud of gray mist escaping from the distance soon outlined the figure of Yu Xian. His voice was clear and his expression was full of excitement and excitement.

It seems like something good happened!

Chen Ye noticed that Yuxian's energy became more powerful.

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

"Hmm..." Yu Xian made a pair of telescopes with his hands, looking east and west. After making some attempts, he finally sighed in failure: "Master, it doesn't seem to work... here It’s really too dark, why is it so dark, I can’t see anything!”

Chen Ye frowned. He thought that Yu Xian, as a spirit body, should be able to see the surrounding objects clearly, just like when he was at Yong'an Market.

But now that I think about it, this underground city is different from Yongan Market. The former covers his eyes and cannot see the light source; the latter has no light source itself. Even with the help of a third party's field of vision, he cannot clearly see what is around him. what.

Of course, Chen Ye knew that this was not a true "lightless place" yet, and the brilliance of the sacred flame could still burn here.

If it is a true "lightless place", even flames cannot illuminate the road in front of them.

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

Although there is a [Wanderer's Map], it is not a [Marauder's Map] after all, and it does not show any living beings passing by nearby.

Compared with Yongan Market, the underground city is not a trading place, and there are no rules such as protection.

Moreover, there are many unknown existences, including players...

may exist in this area.

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

If they are indigenous people, most of them choose a safe area and stay still.

But if you walk around, you can easily spot players.

Chen Ye is not afraid of the aboriginals, but the players are truly unpredictable!

Since this area is governed by thugs, as a player, walking around here will definitely be in danger.

It is best to retain a certain degree of clarity of vision, at least to be able to clearly see possible threats around you.

"Hey! There's a mouse!"

Yuxian's nose moved, and his eyes shined brightly:

"Master, there are mice. I can catch them for you!"

"Mouse?" Chen Ye looked puzzled, "Where is it..."

He looked at it for a long time, then moved his gaze slightly upward, and suddenly found several gray mist air masses.

The posture is like that of a mouse...

Wait, is the mouse Yu Xian mentioned actually a spirit?

"Master, mice can see objects in the dark. I can catch them for you!"

At some point, a chain appeared in Yu Xian's hand, blooming with glazed brilliance.

He held the chain like a whip for punishment, his eyes showed excitement, and his face was full of eagerness to try.

"This chain..."

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

After the bone ring, Yuxian once again gained a special item. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably given by "that adult" he often talked about.

The next second...

The chain in Yu Xian's hand twisted a few times in the void as if it was given life, and suddenly it automatically wrapped around those streaks of gray mist.
