Epoch of Twilight

What made Luo Yuan a little strange was that he didn't see any traces of his teammates walking. If it wasn't for the coordinates in the watch, which definitely showed the location of the tiankeng, he would almost suspect that he was wrong. up.

He frowned and carefully looked at the huge tiankeng. After a while, he found a slope at the corner. The slope was extremely steep and almost vertical. According to Luo Yuan's visual inspection, it was about sixty or seventy degrees.

The slope is rocky and steep, and the surface is wet and covered with moss. It looks extremely slippery and dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you will roll off the cliff. But for Luo Yuan, who can already fly, no matter how steep the slope is, It's all just waiting, all he needs is a place to stay.

Of course, he can also fly directly into it, but the inside is not only dark, but also the terrain is unknown, and the situation below is even more blank.

If it is a normal mission, even if it is a D-level mission, Luo Yuan will not be so cautious, but this mission is extremely dangerous, and it is an unprecedented D+-level mission, which means that this mission is very likely to encounter a dark green-level mission. super creature.

Entering in this way rashly, with the "sluggish" reaction speed when flying, once the super creature notices, it will be a dead end. Facing such a terrifying and unknown enemy, no matter how cautious Luo Yuan is, he will not be able to escape. No exaggeration.

Luo Yuan walked quickly to the corner, he glanced down, took a deep breath, and jumped down.

Without any buffer, he let gravity pull his body and roared down. Three seconds later, his toes stepped on the jagged rock several times in a row, quickly relieving the terrible momentum.

He was walking extremely fast, and the surrounding environment quickly dimmed. Half a minute later, he was completely in darkness.

The light here is very weak, and this bottomless abyss swallows almost all the light. Even Luo Yuan's low-light vision is greatly reduced here. If Luo Yuan's perception is still there, he may not be able to move forward.

At this time, Luo Yuan stopped suddenly, there was no way ahead, and there was a huge space under his feet.

This tiankeng is like a huge gourd composed of two spheres, one big and one small. The space above is only a small part, and the space below is wider and vast, as if it is like an underground world.

Luo Yuan didn't jump directly, he closed his eyes and listened quietly for a while.

The silence here is terrifying, only the sound of running water can be heard clearly from below, obviously the bottom is not far away, but other than that, he didn't hear any movement.

After nearly a minute, he slowly opened his eyes.

He noticed that on the nearby rocks, the moss had disappeared, and even the common insects and ants were gone. There seemed to be no life here, and there was no danger at all. However, this is just an appearance, a hidden crisis, always reminding Luo Yuan that this place is extremely dangerous!

After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind, restrained his breath, and jumped down.

Ten seconds later, he landed lightly on the ground.

After arriving at the bottom of the tiankeng, it doesn't look too dark here. Pieces of glowing rocks are dotted around, making this place look like stars and stars, as if it has come to the night sky.

Through the dim light, Luo Yuan found himself as if he was in the middle of the forest. Countless strange and distorted gray stone pillars stood jagged and densely packed, and the edges could hardly be seen clearly.

It is not accurate to say that it is a stone pillar. It is a fossil of a forest. Passing through one of the broken stone pillars, Luo Yuan can see the circles of growth rings exuding a jade-colored luster.

Perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago, it should be because of a forest, but the vicissitudes of life, the original forest was buried by floods, and then the land sank, and the long years turned this place into a stone forest composed of petrified wood.

As Luo Yuan moved forward, from time to time, he could see fossils from the Carboniferous period, an ancient dragonfly five or six meters long, and a giant centipede more than ten meters long...

Luo Yuan's heart suddenly moved. He found that the Carboniferous period was very similar to the present. It was also a plant explosion. Coal belonging to this period accounted for more than 50% of the world's reserves, and it was also a giantization of organisms.

But Luo Yuan quickly vetoed it, which is not comparable at all.

Regardless of the horror of creatures and the prosperity of plants, the Carboniferous period is far from being comparable to the present. If the Carboniferous period is a period of life prosperity and is still normal, then the end of the world is simply a period of life transition. An ordinary life, just a few days. The annual life level can make a rapid transition and evolve into the super life category. This is a mysterious phenomenon that cannot be explained by existing theories.

The sound of running water kept coming from ahead, but the strange thing was that Luo Yuan didn't see any river nearby, he didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it was still ahead.

Luo Yuan noticed Wu Qianru's location, which was less than three kilometers away from him. Luo Yuan took the time to send her a message, but got no response.

But it is also reasonable, this cheating terminal does not respond when receiving messages, if you don't pay attention all the time, you don't know when to send messages.

But what is certain is that the other party is still alive, because the mission has not been cancelled, and it is still hanging there!

In the stone forest, he bowed his body and walked slowly forward quietly. The distance of three kilometers, short or short, long or not long, was just "nearby" to Luo Yuan and those super beings. ", although Wu Qianru was already "close in sight", Luo Yuan did not dare to be careless at all.

With the urgency of the system, there will never be any opportunistic tasks. D+ level tasks must have the difficulty of D+ tasks.

As time passed, the sound of running water in front became clearer and clearer. At this moment, he stopped suddenly, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes. Through the dense stone forest, a liquid like mercury appeared in front of him, rushing. Flow over here.

It seems to have life, it shuttles quickly in the stone forest like a snake, raises its head from time to time, sways from side to side, as if looking around.

It is very huge, about 14 or 15 meters long and more than half a meter wide. It has a jagged surface and is constantly flowing. It does not have a body in the normal sense. At a glance, it is even hard to tell where the head is and where the tail is. , or neither.

If it hadn't been for its extremely strong biological nature, Luo Yuan would have doubted whether it was a living thing.

Seeing it approaching here quickly, Luo Yuan quickly hid aside.

After the strange snake passed Luo Yuan, it didn't stop at all, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Luo Yuan looked at the departing strange snake with a solemn expression. This kind of creature was completely beyond his imagination. With its liquid-like body, a knife might not be useful to it.

What weighed heavily on his heart was that the sound of running water in front of him did not completely disappear because of the departure of the strange snake, but instead became louder as it approached.

Finally, ten minutes later, he climbed onto a huge petrified wood, and couldn't help but gasped.

I saw a huge "mercury" lake hundreds of meters away, which suddenly appeared in front of me!

The lake is rolling and surging from time to time, like a pot of boiling thick porridge. At the edge of the lake, countless strange snakes split out from the "Mercury" lake from time to time, disappearing in the distance, and countless strange snakes return from all directions. It seems extremely busy to blend in here.

What makes Luo Yuan's scalp tingle even more is that a young woman is "sitting" in the middle of Mercury Lake. Maybe it's not accurate to say sitting. In fact, except for her chest and head, the rest of her has completely disappeared, turning into Part of "mercury".

However, it was unbelievable that she was still alive, and although her face was numb and desperate, and her skin was gray and bloodless, there was no expression of pain on her face.

However, she didn't seem to be able to hold on for much longer. Countless "mercury" granulation was intertwined and slowly but firmly extending towards her chest. At this speed, within a few hours, her entire body would be corroded by mercury.
