Chapter 10 Consciousness Blood Lake

Chen Pingping never believed in luck.

He feels that whether it is good luck or bad luck, there is always a reason.

Just like now.

The closest monster lair to Jiangnan Base City is code-named "Darkness". It is located in the southeast of Jiangnan Base City, about [-] kilometers away. This is why the east and south of the city are frequently attacked by monsters.

But even so, according to this distance, even if there are not many high-level monsters in the west and north of the city, first- and second-level monsters should still be very common, and there should be a lot of them.

In fact, first- and second-grade monsters do not distinguish between regions at all. They should be everywhere. Even if warriors go out to hunt in the city, it is impossible to clear out the monsters to this extent.

There are really fewer people and fewer monsters, and there are almost no monsters to see!

Combined with the monster siege not long after, Chen Pingping felt that there might really be a big problem here.

Go deeper.

After walking for about twenty kilometers, Chen Pingping saw a high-rise building in the distance.

Of course, they are high-rise buildings from the peaceful times. The original site was the ancient NJ urban area. Now it has been abandoned. There are no roads and streets left. There are vegetation everywhere, and there are even many towering trees, which are taller than the high-rise buildings. The buildings are all tall.

I have to say that the evaporated material in the blood sea is really magical. It not only breeds monsters and promotes the degradation of the human body. After integrating into the earth's ecosystem, it has also affected various animals and plants on the earth, creating all kinds of weird and mutated creatures. They appear frequently, towering giant trees are common, and even primitive jungles that were only found in Southeast Asia in the past are gradually appearing in inland areas.

Of course, the ancient NJ urban area was originally a bustling metropolis with not so abundant water resources, so it did not have the landscape of a primitive jungle. It was more like an abandoned city embedded in the forest.

Compared with the terrifying defenses of monsters that cannot be penetrated by bullets, the mutated creatures are ferocious in appearance, but their combat effectiveness is not strong. Let alone warriors, even ordinary people today can deal with them with a little training in ancient martial arts.

As Chen Pingping went deeper, he encountered no monsters, but he encountered many mutated creatures, including a giant python with a head and feet as big as a basin, a tiger with sharp teeth, and a mutated pet dog as big as a calf.

For these mutated creatures, he did not need to use his inner strength at all. The alloy knife chopped them off, and there was no enemy at all. Except for the mutated pet dog that was relatively docile and not very aggressive, all the others were beheaded. .

Gu Wu's "Crazy Sword" is his famous skill. It is famous for its speed. At its peak, with the internal energy, it can even reach a hundred swords per second. At this moment, even without the internal energy, it can reach the level of five to eight swords per second. Dealing with mere mutated creatures is naturally easy and enjoyable!
However, Chen Pingping's expression became more solemn.

He felt something was very wrong!

There are no warriors and no monsters. Could it be that we have traveled to another alien space?

What the hell!
Unfortunately, no one could answer his doubts at the moment, so he could only move on.

Anyway, the monster siege two months later will start from the west of the city. If you go west, you will definitely find clues.

Speaking of it, it is actually a good thing that all these things are wrong. If everything goes as usual, for him whose purpose this time is to investigate, it will be completely blind.

With this thought in mind, Chen Pingping calmed down, adjusted his mentality, and continued walking towards the ancient NJ city.

10 minutes passed.

Suddenly there was some noise ahead. Chen Pingping looked along the sound and looked happy.

Finally found the same kind!
Those were two warriors running fast in his direction. Judging from their weapons and equipment and their running speed, they were no more than second level.

After quickly judging the strength of these two people, Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he is only in the first realm at present, and he is still new to the first realm, but with the actual combat experience of the past few decades and a few ancient martial arts that have been deeply rooted in his bones, he is still confident that he can easily kill two warriors of the second realm, so He wasn't worried about his safety.

However, just when he was about to step forward to stop the two men, a ferocious monster with a height of three people from behind quickly pounced over, one claw at a time, and passed directly through the chest, stabbing the two men alive. died!
Clawed monitor lizard, a third-level monster!

With his rich experience, Chen Pingping immediately recognized the type of monster. His expression immediately changed, and he backed away quickly without caring about anything else.Although Guwu is strong, it needs inner strength to drive it.

If he reaches the second level and has more internal energy, he may even dare to go beyond two levels to fight a fourth-level monster. However, with only eight strands of inner energy in the first level, he can only go up to one level and fight a second-level monster. When encountering a third-level monster, he will still be able to fight. Going is the best policy!
He didn't even dare to step forward to fight, because these eight rays of inner energy were reserved for driving the ancient martial arts at critical moments and running away in time, and could not be wasted on leapfrogging battles.

Otherwise, even if you really win the battle, if you encounter a third-level monster again while waiting for your inner strength to recover, you will not be able to escape!

He understood very clearly that this time he came out to investigate to save lives, not to risk his life.

"Hey, you didn't come after me?" After running for a while, Chen Pingping was a little confused.

He was certain that the clawed monitor lizard had seen him and even looked at him.

This is strange.

Monsters below elite monsters are all without intelligence. As long as they see the target, no matter how big the difference in strength is, they will attack without brains. Unexpectedly, they retreated back in an extremely abnormal way this time.

"That's interesting..."

"Unless that thing appears in this ancient NJ city..."

Thinking of some possibility, Chen Pingping's heart suddenly sank.

"It shouldn't be... That thing is available now?"

Thinking of this, Chen Pingping regretted that due to traumatic avoidance in his previous life, he did not continue to pay attention to the follow-up situation of the monster siege in Jiangnan Base City.

Yes, after his parents died in his previous life, he felt extremely uncomfortable every time he thought about Jiangnan Base City, so he subconsciously avoided all news about Jiangnan Base City.

Now it seems that if it is as expected at this moment, maybe the answer has already been there in the previous life, but he did not pay attention to it.

"The blood lake of consciousness...did it exist so early?" Chen Pingping murmured to himself, with a mixed expression on his face.

Generally speaking, monsters below the elite monster level do not have any intelligence, only endless killing consciousness, but in one case, these monsters are intelligent.

To be precise, it is not that the monsters are intelligent, but that they are controlled by a certain will.

This is the blood lake of consciousness, a strange life whose origin cannot be traced and will appear in any corner of the earth from time to time.

In fact, there is great controversy in later generations as to whether the conscious blood lake can be counted as life.

One party believes that it does not possess any of the elements that life should have. Apart from being able to give some instructions to monsters, it is just a lake of blood gathered by blood rain, without any trace of life characteristics. Even if someone really jumps into the blood lake, No damage will be done.

Since the four oceans turned into seas of blood, the blood rain has been a normal rain, nothing special.

Interestingly, in order to explore the secret of the blood lake of consciousness, the Federation even built a large artificial lake. When the blood rain gathered in, it tried to artificially create a blood lake of consciousness, but it always ended in failure. It was tried hundreds of thousands of times. , not even a single conscious blood lake appeared.

Therefore, the blood lake of consciousness, like the sea of ​​blood, remained a mystery until Chen Pingping traveled back.
