Chapter 232 Listen carefully

After a few hours of rest, the fatigue of the night has almost gone away.

It was dawn, and Yang Fan and others each held a military flashlight and slowly penetrated into the tunnel.

Although there is not much difference between day and night in the underground world, they are still used to starting during the day, physically and psychologically.

After going deeper inward for more than a hundred meters, there was no trace of sunshine in the tunnel.

The range of searches for a few faint lights is not large, but it is completely enough for Yang Fan and others.

However, although the batteries of these flashlights are very durable, they may not be able to be used for a long time if they are on for 24 hours.

However, this problem is not worth worrying about, because after entering the tunnel for a certain distance, a special layer of minerals will appear on the surrounding rock walls, which can emit a faint light, enough to make them see the things around them clearly.

In the dark and quiet tunnel, a few lights look like a few ghost fires from a distance, giving people a gloomy feeling.

People often say that fear usually comes from the unknown. After staying in such a dark and gloomy place for a long time, even if you are as tough as a phoenix, you can't help but feel a frigid mood in your heart.

Walking in this place, it is unlikely that everyone will keep staring at their feet. After a rough glance at the foreign object that could not cause harm to them, they will strode forward.

In this case, it is inevitable that you will be hit.

With light and unique steps, the phoenix accidentally encountered a hard object while lifting her feet. She had been in this dark environment for a long time and felt a little irritable and uneasy. So she kicked it up without thinking.

Although he did not bow his head, Phoenix knew that this thing could be kicked with a vague scene that he saw not long ago.

In fact, as she thought, this thing was kicked hard, and it immediately rolled into the distance, and finally hit the hole wall before stopping.

It was nothing at all, but the movement was a little bit louder. Everyone turned their heads and found that nothing was wrong, but they didn't say anything.

But the little loli shone the flashlight curiously. Maybe her original intention was to add some fun to this boring journey.

With her strength, it is not too difficult to lock in the sound source in this dark environment.

A few seconds later, looking at the skull that seemed to be grinning at her, a hint of dullness appeared on the little loli's face, then suddenly ran over, stretched out his hand and raised the skull, put it in front of him and observed it with a flashlight at close range.

If a relatively normal ordinary person stood here and saw this strange scene, he would probably be shocked and would have goose bumps all over his body.

A white and slender little hand grabbed a gloomy Tianling cover that was suspected to be a human skull. On one side was a skull with a disgusting face, and on the other side was a small face that was as angel-like as a broken angel. The two reflected each other, bringing people's visual stimulation to the person was even more exponentially.

The little loli seemed to have not seen someone's strange gaze. After observing it for a while, she took it to Yang Fan as if she was offering treasures and said cutely: "Uncle, what do you think this is?"

"Skeleton" Yang Fan had a casual answer, but when his eyes fell on the skull, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

He picked up the skull and kept rubbing it on it, his expression became more and more serious.

"What's wrong, Young Master?" Mu Bai walked forward two steps, his eyes also fell on the skull. After observing for a while, he could not see any abnormality.

Yang Fan did not answer immediately, but looked up at the thoughtful Emperor Lei, who was moved, and said, "Lei, what do you think?"

"Freak." Lei Emperor said in a concise word. Perhaps even he knew his fault, and then added, "Humanlike, at least not the current human beings."

This was the first time that the Lei Emperor had said so many words. Unfortunately, the other people heard it with a look full of clouds and mist on their faces, and they were confused.

Awesome, indeed, he is worthy of being the Thunder Emperor.

Yang Fan said in his heart that it is quite rare for the other party to see so many problems due to the limitations of the times.

If he hadn't had the experience in his dream, his performance at this moment might be no different from that of Mu Bai and others.

"I seem to have heard others say that under our feet there is a world where we know nothing, there are countless wealth, there are endless bugs, and there may be humans walking on their legs like us."

There is indeed such a legend in the dream. In the vast and boundless underground world, there is also an ecological circle similar to the surface world. The biggest difference between the two is that the underground world has a large number of insects, and the surface world has no insects before the outbreak of the insect tide.

Among those who believe in this legend, there are two factions. One faction believes that the underground world has a power system that we do not understand. The powerful force makes the insects retreat, which leads to the large-scale occurrence of insects in the surface world.

Another faction believes that humans in the underground world are also at a disadvantage and can only survive and sweep through the underground world with insects without opponents to descend to the surface world.

There are many flaws and loopholes in some of the views held by these two factions. Due to incomplete information and many questions, humans cannot find answers to them.

This may be because Yang Fan’s status is too low in the dream and he cannot access higher-level information.

In order to maintain the gradually restored social order, it is reasonable for senior officials to conceal some important information.

Like the skull in Yang Fan's hand, he went in and out of here many times in his dreams. Not only did he not see it, but he had never heard of it. Most of the time he was taken away by people from the earliest major forces.

At first glance, this skull looks no different from the skull of ordinary people, but if you look closely, you can still find a little difference. The bulge on the cover of the skull Tianling is the biggest difference.

Because in the dream, Yang Fan had been exposed to this information many times, and during his time as a bounty demon hunter, he was hired many times to explore unknown areas. One of the important tasks was to search for traces and evidence of underground human existence.

Although they did not find much, they were still quite sensitive to this matter, so when they saw this skull, Yang Fan couldn't help but think of the legend.

"Really?" Everyone was a little numb to the amazing words that Yang Fan often said. They would no longer ask him who he heard of, as they were in the beginning. Anyway, even if he asked, he would not get the answer.

Influenced by this, everyone has learned one thing now, that is, to see the essence of the problem clearly and grasp the core points in the other party’s words.

"Maybe it is true, it may be fake, who knows, but these are not the key points. The key point is that since a skull appears here, it means that there may be danger here. From now on, everyone must cheer up." Yang Fan solemnly reminded everyone.

"It's really hard to imagine that there are bugs in the underground world, which can be easily understood. After all, they were originally found out from here.

There are many wealth here, which is not difficult to understand. After all, it is rare and in a special geographical environment. The opportunity to find some natural treasures is countless times higher than that on the surface.

It is really surprising to say that there are humans. It is hard to imagine that in such an environment, humans can survive for a long time." Mu Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"The world is full of wonders. What's so strange about this? Just a year ago, can you imagine the appearance of insects and demon hunters? Besides, the underground world I mean is deeper and farther than the place where we stand at our feet. What it looks like? Only by seeing it with our own eyes can you know the answer."

Yang Fan stepped on the land beneath his feet and said in a tone with a little yearning.

In the dream, the farthest place he reached in the underground world is the place where the moonlight grass was produced.

However, at that time, the function of Moonlight Grass was long known to the world. The Moonlight Grass there had been long been plucking and light. Every day, a large number of demon hunters were conducting carpet-style searches. It can be said that as long as you find a Moonlight Grass, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

People who have the idea of ​​getting rich overnight exist everywhere.

"Is there really such a place?" Phoenix thought of something, lowered his head slightly and said in a faint tone.

She spoke more like a rhetorical question, and she didn't expect the other party to answer anything. She added: "If there is really such a place, I really want to go and have a look."

"There will be a chance." Yang Fan did not notice the abnormality of Phoenix and said lightly.

After this episode, everyone gradually slowed down their pace of moving forward, and their vigilance gradually increased.

The light that bloomed on the surrounding walls became stronger and stronger, and they could barely see things, so everyone put away the flashlight.

"Hey! There are two roads here, which side should we go?"

This is a three-way intersection. In addition to the road they came, there are two other roads. The roads on both sides are endless at first glance, and it is obviously leading to different places.

Facing the eyes that everyone cast, Yang Fan couldn't help but smile a bitter smile on his lips, but his heart quickly unfolded.

This area in the dream is a quasi-safe area that has been cleaned by generations of demon hunters. There are also many street signs and other things posted in many places around. Some forks leading to dangerous areas and dead ends have been closed.

It is indeed a very troublesome thing to find the right path in this place where there is no trace of manual development.

"Go here."

Yang Fan walked to two forks and patted the walls a few times, his eyes wandering around, looking for a place that matched his memory. After a while, he said affirmatively.

After choosing the road, everyone followed Yang Fan and walked into the fork.

In order to facilitate the next time, everyone made some hidden marks in various places along the way, including some strange-shaped symbols, and the meaning of each symbol is also different.

For example, the square represents food, and the circle represents water. At some key points, everyone also hid a little food and water that could be stored according to Yang Fan's intention and established a supply point.

Don’t underestimate the effect of this measure. In dreams, measuring the strength of a bounty demon hunter team is very important in addition to the strength of the members on the surface, the size of the underground world they are familiar with, the number of supply points, etc.

The stronger the bounty team, the more supply points it will be. You may not be able to see anything in normal times, but at the critical moment, this small supply point may save the lives of all members of the team.

This is a lesson learned by many predecessors in their dreams with their blood.

The proposal made the companions around him look at Yang Fan again.

After looking at the hourglass, Yang Fan and others have been in the underground world for more than ten hours.

In the underground world, the magnetic field emitted by minerals on the walls will disrupt the normal operation of the clock and electronics. Therefore, here, this is the most primitive time tool. The hourglass on one side leaked and saved it for exactly twelve hours, and now Yang Fan and others have turned the hourglass once.

For some reason, a warning suddenly rose in Yang Fan's heart. He made a move to silence the people behind him, and then he focused his attention and sounded.

"Dongdong, dudongdong"

When walking in the underground world, hearing is often more effective than vision. On the one hand, the dim light causes you to not see too far, and on the other hand, the twists and turns block the line of sight. At this time, hearing becomes particularly important.

Yang Fan, who has always paid great attention to this aspect of training, is indeed one of the best listening skills among everyone.

After his careful listening, a series of disorganized footsteps soon came to his ears.

From the sound, the bug that made the sound must be quite large.

As for why Yang Fan is sure that this voice must be made by the bug, isn’t this nonsense? In addition to their group of people, will there be a second group of humans here?

"Let's go and take a look."

Looking toward the source of the sound, everyone walked towards the other side with their toes.

This may be the first batch of bugs they encountered when they entered the underground world. Several combatants could not wait to have excited expressions on their faces.

Everyone deviated from the original route without realizing it. When they reached the end of this road, they all felt their eyes lit up.

It is not right to say that the end is because there is no road ahead, but below is a slope that is dozens of meters high. Below the slope is a river channel that is more than twenty meters wide and endless.

The river channel is dry, obviously because of the changes in the terrain that the underground rivers have changed their direction, and the place has dried up.

Of course, what Yang Fan and others were looking at were definitely not the river channel, but the insect swarm passing through the river channel.
