Chapter 258 Investigate the Bottom of the Pit

He turned around and pressed his hand down, signaling that the battle crisis was over.

Li Ming used dust to sense for a moment, and found that there were multiple circular passages in the passage at the bottom of the pit, extending in all directions.

"It's so deep. Jueyinlong has been guarding the top of the cave all year round, probably because he can't go down to explore."

Li Ming felt that in terms of fighting, Jue Yinlong was not afraid of the opponent.

After the weirdness spread, the original Silver Dragon appeared, and the Abyssal Dragon was no longer a match.

But when they went to explore and pursue the huge underground pit, the two dragons had no advantage at all, so they formed a long-term confrontation.

The advantage of the Abyssal Dragon is that the rodents have spread over a large area on the surface anyway.

Then we simply don’t go up there, and we can linger underground for as long as we want.

Once the earth veins are connected and developed, it will not be too late to take revenge.

But the original Jue Silver Dragon stationed above the Abyss of Tribulation Hell has to be eroded by rodents all the time, which is a bit uncomfortable.

On the human side, the residents of the kingdom are even more miserable.

Because maybe even before the Abyssal Dragon plan is completed, a group of strange monsters will attack and seize their home and make them homeless.

Li Ming clarified the situation and felt that he had to take the initiative.

However, even with the Overlord Dragon's [Digging and Traveling], it would probably be difficult for the Burrowing system to compete head-on with the Abyssal Dragon deep underground.

The best way is to guide it to the bottom of a huge empty pit like the Abyss Hell, so that it can launch an attack better.

At the same time, the Kingdom Knights and Silver Dragons can also launch coordinated attacks.

But it is obviously not that easy to create such an opportunity.

So Li Ming returned to the camp and started research with the team members.

"Looking at it this way, the initiative is completely in the hands of the Abyssal Dragon, but it is difficult to establish an advantage when fighting in underground passages."

Ni Shuang was embarrassed.

Hunters dabble in various underground caves, although this is nothing new.

But what if this huge pit is the underground lair dug by the other party?

That is equivalent to an ambush operation after the hunter team is familiar with the terrain. It is difficult to gain an advantage in it.

"If only there was something to attract it to show up."

Chuying flipped through the book in her hand, eager to find a solution.

"It's difficult. Elgard has been at odds with each other for many years, and has collected almost all ecological information. If there was a useful guidance method, it would have been widely used long ago."

Li Ming feels that the guidance plan has little hope.

"Puff~ Meow."

Bu Bu, who was looking at the book behind Chu Ying, suddenly covered his mouth and snickered.

"What's wrong Bubu?"

"Well, I just think that the Abyssal Dragon is so stupid. It can actually dig through the seabed, causing the underground pits to be filled with seawater. Its roar was even noticed by Elgaard."

Boobu informed.

"It is indeed not something that an adult ancient dragon can do, but the huge pit is close to the coastal stronghold, and there are many kinds of information that corroborate each other. It should not be a rumor."

Li Ming also felt that this behavior was outrageous.

"How about pouring it in again, meow?"

Midodo suggested.

"That huge pit has been filled with sea water, and it doesn't seem to have affected the underground passage. It shouldn't be used."

Li Ming felt bad.

The next moment, an idea popped up.

"Wait a minute, what if the Abyssal Dragon is not simply stupid, but just unable to detect the situation on the surface?"

Chu Ying speculated: "You mean that the Abyssal Dragon cannot detect the surface conditions, but it also needs to spread rodents to inject energy into itself, so it can only dig and see first?"

"Yes, but every time I have bad luck. I finally managed to log in once, but the original Jue Silver Dragon rushed to him and drove him back underground again. So he stopped showing up at all and simply dug underground all day long to try to introduce earth veins. ”

Li Ming confirmed.

"So the lack of clear perception of the surface is the biggest shortcoming of the Abyssal Dragon."

Ni Shuang was stunned.

"No wonder the Jueyin Dragon has been stationed at the top of the giant pit for a long time. It turns out that the Abyssal Dragon may really appear due to lack of perception."

Chu Ying used to think that Jue Yinlong's persistence was a bit too paranoid.

After all, Abyssal Dragon had suffered a severe blow, how could it make the same mistake again.

Looking at it now, it is not unreasonable.

So Chuying held up the map, but after a moment she sighed and put it down.

"It's a pity that the pothole that became the node of the earth's veins is not in the high ground of the city. Even if we can guide the two Silver Dragons to go there, if it can set foot in the human habitat, it itself is one of the threats."

With this contradiction, the discussion that had just started to pick up seemed to have returned to the starting point again.

Because the purpose of this operation is not simply to hunt the Abyssal Dragon, but also to ensure that the interior of the kingdom is not invaded by monsters.

"It seems that we can only go down to the bottom of the giant pit and conduct further investigation. However, it is not convenient for you and the cat car to move there, so Midodo and I will go there."

Li Ming told the deployment.

Although Kuanglong Fenchen can sense the outline of the passage at the bottom of the giant pit, if he really wants to find out the results, he has to explore the collection traces on the spot.

But for other members who don't have the ability to fly and dig, it's difficult to keep moving smoothly.

What's more, there is still the possibility of encountering the Abyssal Dragon at any time.

The team set off immediately, and under the watchful eye of Jue Yinlong, they approached the abandoned castle and started the operation.

In the huge ring-shaped pit, mist and red light spots slowly rose upward.

"The time required to detect valuable information is still uncertain. You don't need to pay attention all the time. Just pay more attention to the signal flares."

Li Ming reminded.

After all, he couldn't predict the time it would take for this descent.

"Okay, be sure to pay more attention to safety."

"Waiting for you guys to come back and eat barbecue, meow!"

Under the watchful eyes of the team members, Li Mingmi flew down and fell into a huge pit like the mouth of an abyss.

After flying and falling for about six or seven minutes, Li Ming finally saw through the mist the lowered soil layer.

He immediately stopped drifting and plummeted downwards.

Bang~

Pressing down with his palms, he bent his knees handsomely and fell to the ground. Li Ming stood up.

The bottom of the circular pit is particularly open, and except for a small amount of gravel, plants, and huge paw prints, the ground appears to be particularly flat.

"Ah, this is the barrel of a rapid-fire cannon, meow!"

Mido was particularly surprised when he saw the metal parts half-covered and buried in the soil.

Because in such an environment, it is difficult to mount a turret to fight monsters, which is beyond imagination.

"It may have been airdropped as weapons support during the war."

Li Ming looked up and speculated.

"What an awesome fighting method, nya! What if it gets damaged?"

Midoduo asked tentatively.

"Probably a new batch will be sent down. With the kingdom's technology and financial resources at that time, this investment is nothing."

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy now, nya."

Midoduo asked regretfully.

"Yes, but compared to the overall weak situation, the kingdom's performance is already quite good."

Li Ming felt that although the kingdom failed to provide much support from the outside world.

But at least we haven't let the monstrous monsters flood out, which is already quite difficult.

Plop-tat-tat~

The rodents clinging to the walls of the surrounding pits sensed the arrival of creatures and flew over in large numbers.

"Get off!"

Li Ming roared. Phew~

Black and purple mad dragon dust spread out from the long hair, and the hovering rodents immediately dispersed and fled.

One person and one cat observe and identify large traces such as paw prints and tail dragging.

It was quickly concluded that these were old traces, indicating that the Abyssal Dragon had not touched this pit for a long time.

"The big pit next to the stronghold has been filled with sea water, and the passage can only be entered from here."

Li Ming speculated that there was a considerable distance between this place and where the Abyssal Dragon was.

But this is the nearest entrance, so there is no choice.

So he walked towards the huge tubular channel on one side of the pit wall.

Chirp ~ Chirp ~

Three small pink tentacles emerged, pointing at the rodent attached to the wall of the pit.

"Are these rodents different?"

The small tentacles twisted and twisted, as if giving confirmation.

After looking up and observing for a moment, Li Ming came to a conclusion.

"It's really different. The teeth on the sucker's mouth are sharper, and its size is also much larger."

Li Ming stepped forward, wanting to get closer.

Puff da da~

The unusual rodent immediately fled and flew away.

"The vigilance is so high."

"Well, when they approached me just now, you asked them to move away."

Midoduo reminded in a low voice.

"Okay, I did speak louder just now."

Li Ming unloaded [Zhu Shizhu] and approached it again gently, but the rodents still flew away in large numbers.

"Forget it, let's study the corpse samples."

Li Ming was about to cut the ball and start killing.

Small pink tentacles emerged from the edge of the fog ball hole, shaking violently.

"Can't you just kill me? What should I do?"

Although he didn't know the reason, Li Ming felt that the small tentacles would not harm him.

puff~

The tip of one tentacle turned around and stabbed into the body.

Then there is a rapid transition between expansion and contraction.

Much like a rodent sucking blood.

"It makes sense to attract with blood."

Li Ming immediately disassembled the Lanlong gauntlet and cut the skin with a hunter's knife.

puff~

A stream of blood spurted out.

The unusual rodent didn't react much at first, but when the blood flowed to the wall of the pit, it got close enough.

Large swarms of rodents immediately took off and swarmed towards the arm wound.

Puff~ Puff~

Since the wound was only a thin one, the insect had no place to bite and could only bite towards the side.

"These insects bite very hard, and they look very experienced. If you find the gap in the monster's scale carapace, you can easily bite through it."

After Li Ming finished his evaluation, he noticed that it was injected with insect poison and the three small pink tentacles were also expanding and getting bigger.

Since there is no need to convert the calamity blood, the rodents will circle around above their heads after they are full.

"Ugh! The insect net was bitten through, meow!"

Midoduo was originally happy to capture the sample, but he didn't expect the other party to escape with sharp fangs.

"After studying Miduoduo without capturing it, this should be a special group of insects called rodents of annihilation that parasitize around the Abyssal Dragon."

Li Ming informed.

"That's it, meow."

After Midoduo finished speaking, he immediately took out the album to look for comparison.

After all, the local area has studied the Abyssalosaurus for so many years, and there have been conquests and wars, so the accumulation of ecological data must be sufficient.

"I found it, Meow! It's really the rodent of annihilation. But there are old traces around it, which is totally unreasonable."

Midoduo was confused.

The appearance matches and the characteristics are similar, but the insect swarm here obviously does not live close to the Abyssal Dragon.

"It's a bit strange. It's obviously an annihilated rodent, but it doesn't live around the Abyssal Dragon. Could it be that it was left behind? No, the rodent has the instinct to return to its nest."

Li Ming, who was thinking, looked up and quickly came up with a new guess.

"Is it used to mark areas unsuitable for landing?"

"What do you mean, meow?"

Mido was puzzled.

"It's similar to the principle of dyeing balls, but it's used to mark dangerous areas. For example, at the bottom of this pit, there are remnants of rapid-fire cannon parts, and Jue Yinlong is stationed above, indicating that the Abyssal Dragon must have tried to land here in the past. , and the only successful one was achieved in the huge pit called Yuanjie Hell, which means that the landing here ended in failure."

"That's why I placed the rodent of annihilation to remind myself not to crawl around, meow!"

Midoduo suddenly realized.

"Yes, this way, even if it has a weak sense of the ground, it can effectively give itself a warning, but didn't it dig these huge pits by itself? Could it be that it accidentally made a mistake by giving a warning?"

Li Ming felt that Ming Yuan Long might have suffered a big loss and was frightened by Jue Yin Long, so he was so cautious.

"It won't come again in the near future, otherwise we might be able to guide it to climb to the surface from here."

Midoduo sighed.

This new ecological discovery is indeed valuable, but unfortunately it cannot be applied yet.

"here."

Li Ming opened the map.

After discovering the location of this deep pit, it appeared just to fight.

First of all, the fortress highlands are originally hunting areas. Monsters gathered here to fight to the death. Even public campsites in the wild cannot be affected, let alone the interior of the kingdom.

Moreover, there are Jue Silver Dragons above to help. Hunters stationed at the stronghold can participate in the battle without advancing too far.

"What a trap."

Li Ming smiled and looked around the cave wall.

"It's a pity that this is not the leyline node that the Abyssal Dragon wants to connect to, meow."

"Well, maybe we can launch a plan to mislead the Abyssal Dragon here, but before that, we have to screen the insect swarm."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he let the pink tentacle control the rodent of annihilation.

After all, as long as the Abyssal Dragon notices that there is such a living warning sign on the wall of the pit, it will definitely shrink back.

Most of them are willing to follow command and guidance.

Probably because he felt good after absorbing Li Ming's blood.

A small part still flew back to the rock wall and continued to cling to it.

"I, Li Ming, did not drink the pure blood in vain."

[Zhu Shizhu] was loaded, the mad dragon dust spread out, and the concentration in the air skyrocketed.

boom! boom!

After a series of purple flames exploded, the annihilation rodent that was still holding on fell to the ground and died.

One person and one cat carefully collected the bodies and erased all traces.

Heading towards the huge circular passage, start your journey.

In the dark passage, there are strips of digging marks all around.

One person and one cat didn't walk for a while, and a feeling of insignificance emerged in my heart.

It was like two little mice traveling in the thick cement pipe.

Li Ming discerned through the soil, the dust was released, and the rock wall reverberated, constantly searching for a suitable path to move forward.

After walking like this for three days, a dull and rumbling sound of digging in the distance was finally detected by the explorer.
