I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 97 Poison Dragon
Sadly, however, their "civilization" may soon be coming to an end.

Li Heng crossed the entire range of the rat's nest, and came to the pig iron ladder that he had seen before. This is the end of the parallel direction, except for the only ground crack that is still extending downward.

Without needing this hanging ladder, Li Heng jumped down with a light leap. Using some raised stones on the rock wall, he used his hands to make some buffers, and even the last 50 meters were almost unstoppable. , equal to free fall.

Other than a slight numbness in both legs, there was no other reaction.

This is a free landing without any force or buffer, and his overall body strength has risen to another level.

By analogy, it is probably that even if he is hit head-on by a high-speed Jinbei van, he will not be fatally injured, and more than 90.00% of the car accidents in the world will not kill him.

Unless it is the kind of car accident where a fuel tanker full of flammable substances collides and explodes violently, or an extreme speed collision caused by a vehicle that is accelerated to a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour and is completely made of racing-grade alloys.

Of course, the above two types can no longer be regarded as "car accidents" to a large extent.

This means that he has lost the possibility of "accidental death" in the world.

Because of this, his remaining life column also increased to 108.

Calculating his total lifespan in this way is already equivalent to the record of the longest-lived person in the current Guinness Book of World Records.

In fact, he is a little puzzled about this. Although he has become one of the longest-lived humans in theory, it is reasonable to say that his life intensity should far exceed those of the recorded species of humans, but the life span given by the panel , but still within the human domain.

A creature like myself that has become a "semi-superman" should live for three to five hundred years, not to mention a thousand years, right?

This proves that the lifespan is related to the strength of life, but the degree of correlation is not that high, or it is not a proportional function of linear growth, but some unknown mathematical relationship of the curve.

"The power of aging is really not that simple"

While thinking about this, on the other hand, he had reached the crack at the bottom of the cliff, where he saw a black figure standing in front of him.

A hunched figure with its back turned to itself, wrapped in a black robe.

At first glance, it would seem that this is a living person in front of his eyes, but Li Heng can feel that there is no trace of life in this body.

He approached step by step, with respect and respect in his eyes.

It's not because of any level of life or strength, but a respect for humanity and morality.

No surprises, this is the senior, and his final return is still in this deep underground, and Li Heng, who is around him, finally understands what he wants to do in the end of his life.

"Is this the poisonous dragon..."

Li Heng muttered and walked to the crack at the bottom of the cliff, and he couldn't go any further.

Because the dragon is at his feet.

huh - shh -

The sound of "breathing" that he had heard in the tunnel was clearly transmitted here, passing through millions of tons of rocks to Li Heng's eardrums.

This is a gigantic dragon lying underground that may exceed several thousand meters. It is rolling and roaring under this crack, and is slowly tearing the seal that binds it.

A "dragon" composed entirely of dense mist and tumbling smoke!
At least that's what Li Heng saw under the dark red light.

"This is a fucking pressure cooker..."

No wonder those ancient White Lotus believers called it a "poisonous dragon". The boiling poisonous gas can be seen spreading for miles between this slit, just like a terrible evil dragon that is tearing apart the ground and about to rise into the air!
Perhaps it is not appropriate to call it "poisonous gas", because its essence is just a gaseous compound produced by certain inorganic substances in the earth's crust under geological movement, and it has accumulated to this volume after millions of years of time.

It's just that these substances are harmful to humans, or most living things.

Coupled with the abnormally high geothermal temperature in this fissure, these gaseous substances are always in a heated state, just like a boiled "soup pot".

Although there is indeed no volcanic lava underground in the Qinling Mountains, it does not mean that there is no geothermal heat.

The entire Qinling Mountains was produced by plate movement, impact, extrusion and uplift of the crust. During this process, the earth's crustal rock layers are always moving, squeezing, and rubbing slowly, and this process generates heat.

The heat transpires the complex chemical composition in the ground to produce various gas mixtures, which accumulate in special underground cavities, finally forming such a special phenomenon.

The reason why these tumbling gaseous substances are still "honestly" staying in the ground is because they form a complex dynamic balance with the entire underground space and even the outside atmosphere, and the balance between the two makes it stable.

Now, this balance is being disrupted.

Some kind of disturbance that Li Heng is not clear for the time being is the beginning of this imbalance, but he guesses that this is most likely to be the theft of the "pressing dragon sword" mentioned in the record.

Li Heng walked along the track of the "poisonous dragon", and he saw a very special landform, which was a diamond-shaped natural rock formation gap, and the fluorspar density there was the highest he had seen so far, almost condensed into a " wall".

And the gap in the middle of the highlighted wall is very obvious, as if something has been stripped out.

Li Heng stretched out his hand to touch the opening in the rock wall, thoughtful.

He lowered his head and looked down, here was the end of the poisonous dragon, directly below it was the beginning of the entire huge poisonous gas cavity, and the tumbling underground poisonous gas compound was only a few feet away from being able to spew up and sweep the earth.

"Is this where the so-called Yalong Jian was originally located?"

It seemed to be the case, but doubts still arose in his heart.

Now he already knows what the so-called "poisonous dragon" is, but in the face of this thousand-meter crack, there are at least hundreds of thousands of tons of poisonous gas in the visible range, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. How exactly does the complete underground cavity accumulate? How many cubic meters of gaseous compounds are there?

Judging from this diamond-shaped gap, it can be inferred that the so-called [Crushing Dragon Jian] is no more than three feet square in size, and judging from the fact that it can be stolen, it is definitely not a heavyweight thing.

Relying on an unknown gadget that is no more than one meter in size and may weigh tens of catties as a whole, how can we suppress this terrible natural disaster?

But the scriptures of the White Lotus Sect can swear by the words "Yalongjian Town Purgatory Heaven", and the reality clearly reflects that after the traitors stole Yalongjian, the underground environment began to change.

The pressure balance between the poisonous gas and the atmosphere gradually got out of control, and the "poisonous dragon" gradually turned over and shed its shell, and affected the ecological environment of the rat population on the upper layer, forcing them to rush out of their nests, disturbing the surface.

"What the hell is this thing that can have such an effect?"

Li Heng is now full of curiosity about the stolen "Longjian".

However, it is a pity that the thing was stolen by traitors as early as the Anti-Japanese War and given to a certain brigade of the Japanese army. It has been so many years since the war, and it may be difficult to know the specific flow.

It can be said that many national treasures in China are exiled overseas, and it is difficult to know where they are.

"Tsk, it looks like it's necessary to go to the island country in the East China Sea in the future."

The strong curiosity about this strange object has aroused Li Heng's urge to go to the other side of the sea to explore and pursue it.

It's just that what's more important right now is Li Heng's return to the place where the ancestor's remains were.

His corpse has been completely hardened, and it has a bronze-colored appearance just as the records say. It is probably because of the special space environment here and the hard-to-corrode characteristics of the Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal that it has been completely preserved until now.

And because it is too close to the "poisonous dragon", the rats dare not come and devour it.

And this senior's final posture was leaning forward, his withered arms and fingers still pointing forward stiffly.

This is a freeze-frame picture at work.

There was no accident, no change, but his life ended so naturally.

This is the result of his exhaustion as [Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal], just as he has almost finished all the preparations, and in this final stage, his life is burning to the end.

So the last frozen expression on his already withered face was one of urgency and regret.

This is a century-old achievement.

And the last thing he wants to do is to freeze the countless gunpowder that is almost piled up at the bottom of the cliff!
