Chapter 349: Weird cave
【warn! 】
[The host is about to enter the seventh-level weird realm. The weird energy in this area has a very powerful corrosive effect. The host's current strength cannot resist the erosion. 】
[Extremely strong treacherous energy fluctuations have been detected in the current area, and there will be unpredictable dangers. The geographical environment has undergone tremendous changes due to the influence of the treacherous zone. Please be careful with the host! 】
The system rating is higher, and the courage is greater. At this time, it does not say anything about "ten deaths but no life" or "nine deaths", which shows that it has a certain degree of confidence in the strength of "itself" and Shen Ge.
Although you may not necessarily be able to defeat the high-level weirdness of the sixth or seventh level, you no longer have to run away like you did two years ago. No matter how bad things happen, you can still make a mess and escape.
Of course, someone would never mention that when he faced the sixth-level weirdness not long ago, he did not escape completely, but left one hand behind.
But this is not important. What is important is that when Shen Ge heard the system warning, he had already turned on his sneak eyes and looked at the mountains ahead. The strange thing was that he could only see the ghost energy on the mountains, filled with black mist, and the top of the mountain was completely hidden in the mountains. No trace of high-level weirdness was found in the black mist.
If the strange black mist floating toward the top of the mountain was replaced by white mist, then this dense mountain would look as beautiful as a paradise.
It's a pity that it is surrounded by dark mist and dense jungle-like plants, giving people an eerie feeling.
Seeing Shen Ge standing there staring at the mountain without moving, Fang Mingyue asked, "Chen Ge, is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go." Shen Ge couldn't tell whether this "big mountain" was a strange entity for the time being, so he could only find the cave mentioned in the intelligence first.
"Follow me all." Fang Mingyue gestured to the soldiers behind him, and everyone followed Shen Ge towards the mountain.
A thick black mist of strange energy floated in the mountains, giving the dense primeval forest an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
The smallest tree here must be surrounded by at least seven or eight people. The bark of the big tree is covered with moss, and the vines are wrapped around the trunk like a giant snake.
On the ground, there are ferns and shrubs, like a green ocean, with rolling waves, and every leaf shines with a healthy luster.
The air is filled with the fragrance of earth, resin, and wildflowers, and you can't help but take a deep breath, trying to absorb as much of this primitive scent into your lungs as possible.
Deep in the jungle, you can occasionally hear the gurgling sound of a stream. A clear stream passes through the woods quietly, with colorful spots of light reflecting on the water.
"Can weirdness corrode?" Shen Ge stood by the stream and frowned. Although the system often exaggerated, its main purpose was to let him retreat and stay away from high-level weirdness.
But since advancing to the fifth level, this situation has become less common, so putting aside the "exaggerated vocabulary", the system's early warning is still very accurate.
The two most critical points in its early warning of "big mountains" are the "field" and the "erosion effect". No matter which one of these two, there should be no fairyland-like scenery in front of you.
No wonder after receiving the information fed back by Tu Doupi, the new parliament did not hesitate to form an advance team to explore. With such an environment and resources, who would not be confused after seeing such an environment and resources in the apocalypse?
The advance team headed by Fang Mingyue was used to seeing ruined cities in the apocalypse. This was the first time they had seen such beautiful nature after the apocalypse. They wished they could breathe more fresh air.
At this moment, Shen Ge suddenly shouted: "Put on your gas mask, and don't inhale too much air before you find out more about the situation here."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned, and almost blurted out the word "why", but the person who said this was not an ordinary soldier, but the "hero" of the shelter.
Most of the soldiers in the advance team had seen Shen Ge's strength and were very convinced of him. After hearing this, they quickly checked their gas masks.
The deeper they went, the more complicated the road conditions became. Fang Mingyue had to arrange for several soldiers to cut off the vines with sabers in front to clear the way.
"Chen Ge, I feel something is wrong. In the video sent back by Captain Tu, there is clearly a way to go up the mountain, but now..." Fang Mingyue said to Shen Ge.
Shen Ge also watched the video sent back by Tu Doubi, and he also had this doubt in his mind: "From the map, the route should be correct. We can only wait until we find the temporary camp they set up."
Fang Mingyue nodded. She naturally had no objection to Shen Ge's suggestion, but such a strange environment made her feel uneasy.
At this time, a soldier who was clearing the way ahead noticed something strange: "Report, Team Shen, Team Square, look at these vines that we cut down, they heal very quickly... This feeling, like, like Weird flesh and blood.”
Everyone stepped forward to look at the vines, and sure enough they found that the cut vines were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking back, the mountain road that had been opened up before was now covered with vines at the farthest end.
Weird flesh and blood?
In fact, Shen Ge had already asked the system to scan the surroundings when he went up the mountain, but unfortunately, there was not even a red dot on the [map]. It can be seen that the weirdness in this area was affected by a special strange energy. The system cannot detect it, or... there is a "big surprise" waiting for Shen Ge and others.
"Captain, camp, the camp is ahead!" At this time, the soldier responsible for opening the road noticed a tent that was completely entangled with vines.
The tent has been compressed and deformed. If it weren't for the exploration team flag on the door, it would be difficult to find this tent.
A group of people cut through the vines blocking the road and entered the temporary camp area, only to see that the place looked like it had been abandoned for more than ten years and was filled with various plants.
But from the time Tu Doupi sent the information back to the shelter to the time the advance team set out to arrive here, it took less than two days in total.
Fang Mingyue ordered the soldiers to search the camp, but no useful information was found after the search. No soldiers from the exploration group or the hunting group were seen, and there were no corpses or traces of the battle.
The absence of corpses and traces of battle is considered "good news". At least it proves that this place has not been attacked by strange things. The biggest problem still lies in the cave.
Whether it was to search for the whereabouts of Tu Doupi and others, or to ensure that this "big mountain" was actually a high-level weird thing, or that there were high-level weird things hidden underground, Shen Ge and his party had to go to the cave once.
The group of people searched upwards along the camp. What was strange was that from going up the mountain to the temporary camp, the mountain road became narrower and narrower from being very wide at the beginning to being occupied by various plants. Now, there are much fewer plants on the road leading to the cave. When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, the plants were growing more than ten meters away. The area around the cave was bare, as if the surrounding plants were "avoiding" the cave, or there was something scary in the cave.
After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Fang Mingyue first asked two soldiers to set up a mysterious energy detector, trying to detect the intensity of the mysterious energy and the breath of life forms in the cave through the detector.
Shen Ge also turned on the weird energy and looked into the cave, but apart from the diffuse black mist of weird energy, he saw no trace of weirdness or weird space, and even he couldn't see anything. The weird energy detector brought by Fang Mingyue naturally Nothing gained.
"Report to the captain, apart from detecting a strong reaction of strange energy in the cave, the strange energy detector found no traces of strangeness or life forms." said the soldier responsible for controlling the strange energy detector.
"Chen Ge, what should we do now?" Fang Mingyue asked.
Although she was the apparent commander of the advance team, everyone knew that it was just an explanation to the new parliament, but in fact Shen Ge, an "outsider", was the real commander.
"Go in and take a look." Shen Ge didn't say detachment, because once he entered the "big mountain", he was already in a trap. It made no difference whether he was in the cave or outside the cave.
"Okay." Fang Mingyue asked the soldiers to put away the treacherous energy detector, and then asked two soldiers to guard the technicians and instruments at the entrance of the cave, while the rest followed her and Shen Ge into the cave.
"On the way here, I have taught you all the ways to deal with various treacherous areas. Take my words to heart. If you get lost in the treacherous space, don't rush around like a headless fly. First, try to determine own position, and then find the pattern of exploration.”
"The weird space is not scary. Use the weird energy locator to record the beacons. As long as you don't mess up your position, you can find the weak points of the weird space and escape from the weird space."
In fact, what Shen Ge said can be said to be the most basic knowledge of the special strategy department in "reality", but it is all summarized by the research department and the special strategy department based on the experience of fighting against the special strategy.
In this world, it only took a few years from the emergence of Weirdness to the fall of the whole world. The development of the ability to counter Weirdism has not been carried out, let alone the study of these tactics against Weirdness.
After Shen Ge finished speaking, everyone walked in along the dark and narrow cave passage. After walking for more than ten minutes, the cave that was originally six or seven meters wide became narrower and narrower, and more and more humid.
Shen Ge brushed the cave wall with the tactical gloves he took from Fang Mingyue, only to find that it was not ordinary water stains, but a black sticky substance.
Black blood?
Shen Ge couldn't help but think of the black blood viscous substance seeping out of the flesh wall that he had seen in the high-level strange belly before, but the "black liquid" here was not as viscous as black blood, nor was it corrosive.
After walking a few dozen meters further, everyone suddenly heard a rustling sound. Shen Ge swept his flashlight forward and found a group of "black mist" crawling towards them.
Take a closer look at what the "black mist" is, but a "little spider" the size of a baby's fist that looks **** and fleshy. It is said to be a spider because it also has eight legs, but in fact But it looked like a skinned baby's fat little hand, with eight fingers.
"It's weird, be careful!" Fang Mingyue noticed the group of "black hands" moving in the beam of the weird flashlight and immediately alerted everyone.
Shen Ge would not leave the treacherous realm, condensed an invisible barrier to block the black-hand spider on the other side of the passage, and then stretched out his hand towards Fang Mingyue: "Give me the Molotov cocktail."
Fang Mingyue quickly handed over a few Molotov cocktails. Although the invisible barrier was transparent and invisible, as Shen Ge's ability, he could control its movement even if he couldn't see it. Therefore, after "opening" a gap, he handed Fang Mingyue over. Molotov cocktails were thrown in.
The next second, the passage was instantly ignited by a Molotov cocktail. There was a crackling sound in the fire, and everyone could even smell a burning smell.
The strange thing is that the flames seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, but only Shen Ge knew what happened.
Although Fang Mingyue felt strange, she did not ask too much, because at this time she noticed that the walls of the cave illuminated by fire were densely covered with such black-handed spiders. If she had trypophobia, she would be afraid of seeing this scene. I fainted from fright.
However, the ratings of these black-hand spiders are not high. The small ones are all first-order, and the slightly larger ones are only second-order.
Shen Ge had many ways to deal with them, but he chose the most direct one, using fire attacks to burn through the entire passage once and for all.
Fang Mingyue stood behind Shen Ge and watched the flames swallowing countless black-hand spiders, and suddenly thought of a question: "Shen Ge, from the time we entered the cave to now, it seems that there is only this way, and judging from the number of these black-hand spiders, not Too likely to go straight through…”
Fang Mingyue's meaning is very simple. With so many black-handed spiders, there is a high probability that they will choose to "retreat" instead of continuing to move forward.
She would consider it this way, and so would Tu Doupi, but the video message sent back showed no sign of their return.
Were they killed by these black-handed spiders, or did they find other channels?
Shen Ge obviously understood what Fang Mingyue wanted to express, but he thought of another possibility: "Perhaps we fell into a strange space from the moment we entered the cave. The good news is that we were not separated by the strange space. The bad news is that we were not separated by the strange space." If we don’t deal with these spiders, we will have no choice but to retreat.”
As soon as Shen Ge finished speaking, he heard a "boom" sound behind him, and a soldier suddenly fell down and hit the cave wall.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, several soldiers behind him thought they were being attacked, and didn't even have time to help him. Instead, they instinctively raised their guns and aimed at the wall.
But under the illumination of the flashlight beam on the gun, there was nothing on the cave wall, so two medical soldiers hurried forward to check the man's condition.
"Captain, he fainted." After the medical soldier checked the soldier, he found that there were no obvious wounds on his body, but the soldier's breathing became weaker and weaker.
At this time, Shen Ge opened his eyes and glanced, but he noticed a wave of strange energy on the soldier's back, so he stepped forward and pushed the soldier's body sideways, pulled open the combat uniform and took a look, but saw the soldier behind him. There was a black blood mass about the size of a thumb on his waist.
"What is this?" A medical staff pressed the blood mass with medical equipment. The strange thing was that the blood mass seemed to be alive and slowly swam towards the soldier's vest.
Upon seeing this, Shen Ge quickly pulled out the saber attached to Fang Mingyue's calf and stabbed the black blood directly: "Be careful, this is a parasitic type of weirdness!" (End of Chapter)
