The warning signs standing crookedly looked like corpses rooted in the humus layer. The writing on them had faded, leaving only messy dark brown marks, and some permeating warning words could be vaguely discerned.

The mine is surrounded by a circle of decayed wooden fences that enclose an area. In the area, the mining tools used at that time are still preserved. Mining cars are half buried in the rubble, and the surface is covered with thick black mud.

.

Look carefully.

Those "black mud" are still slowly squirming as if alive.

"It's not the erosion caused by weirdness..."

Cheng Shen looked around.

The weird aura coming out of the mine contains evil from darkness, decay from death, and madness and chaos, but there is no weird dead silence that can turn everything into nothingness.

However, in other words, if something strange appears in the mine, the breath of other energies will not exist...

"And the smell of the abyss."

Aljieka wrinkled her nose and added.

Cheng Shen concentrated for a moment, then nodded. There was an unidentifiable energy fluctuation in his breath that was very similar to the Abyss Plague Tower that he had come into contact with. It was a smell that was hard to describe based on rot and stench alone.

"If it is contaminated by the abyss, it is not difficult to understand the behavior of sealing the mine."

he said to himself.

The terrifying power of the abyss plague bugs was still vivid in my mind, and the harm they caused to living creatures was astonishing. Cheng Shen immediately decided to withdraw the iron-blooded soldiers from the battle and let Da Meng lead the team to seal off the surrounding area.

Later.

He raised his hand and threw out a crystal containing a wisp of pale flame.

Bang!

The fragile crystal shattered as soon as it hit the ground, and flames burst out from it, like a flowing tide, which seemed to be slow but actually spread extremely quickly across the land.

laugh!

The layer of black mud covering the ground around the mine reacted violently in the flames. They squirmed faster, and the gelatinous skin was burned and cracked by the flames, splattering out dirty flesh and blood tissue.

A burst of sharp squeaking sounds echoed throughout the mine, and it was unclear whether it was the scream of a monster or the sound of burning material.

"receive!"

Seeing that the ground was almost clean, Cheng Shen's huge spiritual energy immediately enveloped him, condensing all the spreading flames of hell.

then.

It rained heavily.

The turbid water mist evaporated instantly in the forest, filling the entire area like a heavily polluted industrial park with dust haze. The air was filled with the smell of rust and heat, making people feel as if their heart and lungs were on fire.

call!

Driven by Cheng Shen's thoughts, a strong wind blew again in the sky and earth, and large amounts of water mist and falling raindrops were blown away into the distant sky.

Breathe the wind,

Call for rain.

Cheng Shen was able to exert such almost miraculous power through simple use of energy control.

Facing the rubble-sealed mine, he did not use magic to blast it away. Cheng Shen glanced to one side and saw two corpse-like petrified ancestors with hunched and thin bodies and sharp claws carrying the wood.

The barrel comes forward.

They pushed round wooden barrels, each about one foot high, into the cracks in the rocks. As they shook, some black powder fell from the edges of the barrels.

Wait until these two petrified ancestors have withdrawn.

laugh!

Cheng Shen waved his hands and rubbed out a wisp of flames. The flames dispersed into several lines of fire in the air and floated towards the wooden barrels.

In an instant.

Everyone felt a bright fire suddenly light up in front of their eyes!

boom!!

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook!

The dust and mist surged, and fine sand and gravel flew around like bullets, but everyone was far away. Even if there were occasional sand and gravel that could hit them with the blessing of kinetic energy, they were all blocked by the tightly protected armor.

Cheng Shen narrowed his eyes and stared at the center of the explosion.

suddenly.

His eyes lit up with thunder.

Crack!

Two thumb-thick bolts of lightning fell in mid-air like javelins, and immediately pinned the two figures who rushed out of the smoke to the spot!

-6039!

-6102!

"What is this!?"

Cheng Shen looked attentively.

These two monsters that were pierced by lightning still retain their basic human appearance, covered with tattered cloth strips, but their bodies have been severely decayed and deformed, and are covered with abscesses and deformed tissues!

"roar!!"

They did not die directly after taking the blow. One monster's face was filled with pustule tissue, and sharp mouthparts grew on both sides of its neck. There were four small mouths full of serrations in the mouthparts, and it made an inhuman roar.

.

"Abyssal pollution and dark distortion coexist?"

Cheng Shen looked ugly.

The presence of either of these two factors alone can cause a devastating blow to an ecosystem, and the presence of both together is comparable to the end of the world! What's more important is that the appearance of these two monsters made Cheng Shen realize one thing.

Before this mine was sealed by external forces.

There is someone inside!

Bang!

Cheng Shen's eyes flashed slightly, and the two thunder spears exploded immediately, ending the howling duet of the two monsters.

immediately.

He added another fire and completely burned their bodies to ashes.

[Tip: Kill the abandoned miner and get 600 experience!]

"It's really a miner."

Cheng Shen looked forward thoughtfully.

He also wanted to test the research results of the Gunpowder Factory during this expedition. Those barrels of explosives were the latest third-level gunpowder developed by the Gunpowder Factory.

It seems to be quite powerful now.

A large hole had been blasted out of the sealed rockfall, and the gray light shone in, revealing large dark red scratches at the entrance. Those scratches seemed to represent the despair of the people inside when the mine was sealed.

It's shocking to watch.

"There must be some connection between the abandoned miners and the abandoned temple residents mentioned by the old man."

Cheng Shen thought.

The stones used to build that magnificent temple were definitely not refined out of thin air. Eighty percent of them came from the mine in front of you.

Having said that.

Only then did Cheng Shen remember that he had never seen the corpses of those abandoned people in the temple.

Only some are buried in the cemetery behind the temple.

But those corpses are more like unlucky outsiders they captured and used to perform various bloody rituals...

The contents of the murals he had seen flashed through his mind.

soon.

He found the answer in it.

These temple abandoners who believe in evil gods have no tradition of burial or cremation.

Their traditional custom is to return to the embrace of the unknown after death.

He remembered the content recorded in a mural, which was a temple abandoned man with lines symbolizing aging walking into a cave alone; there was also a huge scene of countless people carrying coffins into the same cave.

As for what is in the cave.

It is unknown.

It seems that the dark cave entrance represents the unknown in their cognition, and entering it is returning to the embrace of God...

"Could it be the cave in front of me?"

Cheng Shen was suspicious.

He didn't hesitate for long.

Turning around, he directed the two petrified ancestors to walk towards the blasted mine.

The two petrified ancestors reacted obviously restlessly as they approached the cave.

But their bodies did not undergo any special changes until they entered the cave.

"The petrified ancestors are pure alchemical products. They are not considered living things in theory. However, they can ignore the pollution effects of the abyss and dark energy on flesh and blood creatures. It would be different if they were iron-blooded soldiers..."

Cheng Shen imagined that scene.

Shaking his head secretly.

The various chaotic factors born after the mutation in this world are too unfriendly to flesh and blood creatures.

Only flesh-and-blood creatures can possess the most important growth characteristics.

Cheng Shen has long ceased to be a human being.

Whoosh!

He raised his hand to apply a dozen holy shields to himself, and turned around to help Aljieka, but saw that the golden flames on her body were already burning.

The two exchanged a look.

Cheng Shen turned his head silently, and through the control of his mind, thirty petrified ancestors with leader unit attributes poured into the cave.

Buzz…

There was a trembling sound.

Scout guards with red light also flew in low.

Spiritual automatic link.

A mine tunnel dyed dark red appeared in the minds of Cheng Shen and Aljieka respectively.

This mine tunnel was built very wide, four meters high, and was almost wide enough for two carriages to run parallel to each other. The scout guard flew forward close to the cave roof, followed by a group of petrified ancestors running on their hands and feet.

Cheng Shen then entered the cave.

laugh……

The holy shield on his body immediately made a slight corrosion sound, and Cheng Shen looked up.

The energy filled in this mine is only gray-green and jet-black.

The gray-green energy came from the abyss, and the other energy belonged to darkness. The free abyss energy did not react too violently to the light shield on his body.

Only the dark energy launched a fierce attack on him like water and fire.

But Cheng Shen did not relax his vigilance against the pollution of the abyss.

He suddenly discovered that the abyss energy could directly penetrate the shield on his body and fall on him.

At the beginning.

When the number was small, he didn't notice much abnormality.

But the aura of the abyss here was so strong that within ten seconds, Cheng Shen felt an abnormal feedback from his body.

"Ahem..."

He couldn't help coughing twice, and then he felt something strange when he raised his hand, and his palm was actually covered in dirty black blood!

A putrid odor in the nasal cavity.

He suddenly realized that he had been tricked unknowingly!

Purify!

Cheng Shen tried to cast purification magic on himself, but after the runes were outlined, there was no energy to condense. The dark energy in this cave was too abundant, and the conflicting light elements had already been dispersed.

He frowned.

Several props engraved with purification runes on his body lit up one after another.

Whoosh!

Pure light swept over his body, and Cheng Shen felt a little better.

But the purification effect is basically better than nothing.

While in the cave, he was exposed to the pollution of the abyss energy at all times, and the energy stored in a few pieces of magic equipment was simply not enough.

Wow!

Cheng Shen switched directly to the bright red form without much hesitation.

The several holy shields on his body lost their spiritual power and flickered for a few times before breaking into pieces.

And patches of gray-green or pitch-black marks immediately appeared on his body, either forming vicious pustules or growing purple tentacles.

For a while.

Cheng Shen's whole person became scarier than the contaminated monster!

But immediately, the pieces of contaminated body were peeled off by Cheng Shen.

Fresh blood replenished his body.

Then it was contaminated again.

Give up again...

The bright red form cannot stop the erosion of the abyss and dark energy.

However.

The combined pollution speed of these two energies is not as fast as Cheng Shen's attribute recovery. He keeps switching between normal and distorted forms, and the change in his mood makes him feel less stressed.

"I can help you."

Aljieka couldn't help but say on the side that the solar flame she controlled had already given birth to a trace of extraordinary matter, which had an extremely powerful restraint effect on non-extraordinary energy, and there was no need to care about the pollution of the abyss.

"No, I'm adapting."

Cheng Shen shook his head and refused.

He really wasn't trying to be brave when he said this. Abyss and darkness are also a type of energy and can also be controlled by the talent of energy control.

Cheng Shen just can't adapt to the pollution effects caused by these two energies.

Therefore, the impact on oneself will be more serious when controlling.

However, any negative pollution effect has a limit, and Cheng Shen is forcing his body to adapt to that limit.

Although,

At present, the effect of this is basically minimal...

He "twisted" his bloated body and walked forward following the traces of his petrified ancestors.

The scout guards reported back a scene showing that the petrified ancestors had fought against the monsters in the mine.

"roar!"

"Ouch!"

On one side were the petrified ancestors who were waving their sharp claws and were as hard as steel, and on the other side were twisted creatures with severely deformed bodies. The two groups of monsters met head-on in the wide mine tunnel, and they were already fighting fiercely.

The petrified ancestors, who overall have leader-level strength, are clearly superior.

Especially when the professional powers they inherited from Cheng Shen began to take effect, the battle situation became even more one-sided.

"Ho ho!!"

Among the group of aberrant creatures that emerged from the depths of the mine, there was one that was very huge. It had deformed flesh tentacles and pus-oozing swollen tissue all over its body, and its head was like a wriggling insect nest.

puff!

The cysts flowing with mucus were spat out by it, like cannonballs, exploding among the petrified ancestors. The turbid yellow slurry immediately splashed all over the petrified ancestors' bodies, like yellow maggots squirming!

"How could there be such a disgusting thing!"

Cheng Shen reprimanded while pulling the twisting tentacles out of his mouth.

Fortunately, he had recruited thirty petrified ancestors as cannon fodder this time.

Otherwise, Cheng Shen couldn't imagine how he would fight against such a thing!

Blood-coagulating arrow!

Whoosh!

He instantly condensed a dozen blood arrows and blasted them at the monster. The exploding blood arrows immediately exploded its body into a ball of minced meat. Aljieka then added a ball of sun flame, burning it into pieces in an instant.

ash.

[Tip: Kill the polluted brood and gain 3500 experience points!]

The reminder in his ears made Cheng Shen's cold gaze soften slightly.

Although these monsters look disgusting, it must be said that they have extremely rich experience.

Kill an elite monster.

It’s even worth the benefits of a leader unit of the same level!

call!

The blood mist formed by the explosion of blood arrows filled the cave, falling evenly on every monster like a scarlet rain.

Blood-burning poison!

Septic frenzy!

Substantial bloody flames immediately burned on the bodies of these monsters.

The high damage numbers quickly hit the screen!

The efficiency of Cheng Shen's attack was instantly more terrifying than the thirty petrified ancestors put together. In the blink of an eye, all the pollution monsters in the field were killed, leaving only piles of completely burned ashes on the ground.
