Chapter 253 Why? !

Tick ​​tock, tick tock——

The sound of dripping water echoed in the tunnel-like cave.

The wet cave ceiling and rock walls are covered with shimmering green algae, providing a source of light for the narrow cave passage.

"Menqi, are you okay?"

Moyu's questioning voice sounded in the cave.

He stood on the wet ground and looked back at Menqi, who was only a few steps away from him.

Behind Menqi is a completely enclosed rock wall with several straight lines engraved on it, which seem to echo the stone slabs dug out before, and may also be a medium of ability.

"I'm fine."

Menqi nodded towards Moyou, and then looked at the green algae growing on the rock wall, with surprise in his eyes.

If you observe carefully, the shimmering light emitted from the algae is like a pulse, bright and dark, as if it is alive.

Thanks to the luminous algae in this cave, otherwise, in such an environment, one would only be able to see in the dark.

After confirming that Menqi was fine, Moyou observed the surrounding environment.

The location is a narrow cave passage.

Damp and cold.

It's just that both the ground and the rock wall appear to be extremely smooth, looking like a man-made tunnel.

But Moyu can't see any trace of artificial repair here.

How the tunnel was formed is unknown.

"The ability to transfer spatial properties..."

Thinking of the black curtain that came towards him just now, Moyu frowned slightly.

I really didn’t expect that the thoughts after death could actually be teleported. No wonder I didn’t feel the slightest threat.

In a sense, teleportation abilities are indeed not offensive in any way.

"This is trouble."

After being inexplicably transported to a completely unfamiliar cave, it is basically impossible to return to the second level test.

even--

How to get out of here is still a question.

With a slightly solemn look on his face, Moyou crossed Menqi and came to the rock wall with carved patterns.

"Condensation"

Gathering Qi in his eyes, Moyu looked at the rock wall, but found no trace of Nian.

But in the current situation, it is basically certain that the rock wall engraved with patterns is some kind of medium similar to the coordinates of the teleportation point.

That's why he and Menqi were teleported here.

Moyu tried to release his mind power and attached it to the patterned rock wall, but there was no reaction at all.

Moreover, the "ability to eliminate thoughts" deep in the consciousness also showed no response, indicating that there is indeed no thought power on this rock wall.

But to send people here, you must need the support of "Nian"...

Moyu speculated that the ability to teleport may be one-time, and all the energy will be consumed after the teleportation is completed.

"Let's find a way to get out of this hellish place first."

Withdrawing his hand, Moyu sighed softly in his heart.

I don't regret "touching" the seemingly non-threatening afterlife, but I just think that here, I can no longer expect to get the license this year.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Menqi retracted his gaze from the green algae and turned to look at Moyu behind him.

Although she was suddenly teleported here, she was not afraid at all, nor was she at all worried.

courage.

It is an essential quality for food hunters.

Or--

This is a quality that most professional hunters should possess.

"Go inside and see if you can find a way out."

Moyu came to Menqi's side and raised his eyes to look at the only path ahead.

Menqi nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said seriously: "Fortunately, I picked a lot of snow fruits on the way down the mountain, so I don't have to worry about food in a short time."

"Um."

Hearing this, Moyou glanced at Menqi's bulging backpack.

The supplies there, in addition to snow fruits, also had some uneaten dry food and water, which was enough to sustain them for a long time.

"Let's go."

Moyu walked in front.

There are glowing algae everywhere in the cave, so there is no need to worry about the light source for the time being.

At the same time, you can judge whether the oxygen in the cave is sufficient based on the state of the algae.

Judging from the current situation, the situation is not too bad.

Moyou and Menqi walked in tandem along the cave passage.

This tunnel is not straight forward. There are uphill sections and downhill sections along the way, and it is curved like a winding path. Sometimes the road slants to the left, sometimes to the right.

Although the road going in was quite winding, there was no fork in the road.

Without having to choose a route, it's hard to tell whether it's good or bad.

Anyway, Moyou and Menqi could only keep walking along this road.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the narrow and winding cave gradually became wider.

And a group of green light appeared at the end in front, frozen there like a ghostly fire.

Moyu looked at the green light in the distance ahead.

no doubt--

The source of the green light must also be the algae growing in the cave.

But compared to the green light around the cave, the green light at the end in front appears brighter.

Although he hasn't walked over yet, Moyu seems to be able to imagine some rough scenes.

Perhaps the unknown environment at the end will be filled with extremely large amounts of luminous algae.

"Stay alert."

Moyu reminded.

Menqi responded.

soon--

Moyou and Menqi came to the end of the cave. Before they stepped out, the first thing they saw was a huge internal space.

Countless luminous algae were scattered on the rock walls as far as the eye could see, and the light they emitted filled the entire space.

The cave entrance they were in was located high on the rock wall, and there were hundreds of similar cave entrances.

These cave entrances were high and low, and were distributed on the rock walls in all directions like hanging coffins.

And below these cave entrances, there was an underground city shrouded in deep green light.

"Where is this...?!"

Standing at the cave entrance, Moyu and Menqi were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Do hundreds of cave entrances distributed on the rock walls like hanging coffins represent hundreds of transmission medium points?

The most incredible thing is...

At the end of the cave, there was an underground city that looked quite spectacular.

Moyu was not even sure whether this was the interior of Mount Alagas.

And——

Moyu's eyes changed slightly, looking at the center of the dusty underground city.

There stood a giant spiral column, which looked like thick tree roots entwined from a distance.

On this root-like surface, twisted limbs and hideous human faces can be vaguely seen.

There are so many of them, like cement poured in, it is difficult to determine whether they are corpses or sculptures, and the whole body exudes a palpitating breath.

Moyu noticed the existence of this giant column.

It was not because of the suspected existence of corpses on the surface of the column, but because he sensed the breath of "afterlife" from the column.

Menqi was still in shock, staring at the large dusty building below.

"Master, have we discovered an underground site?"

"I think so."

Moyu stared at the giant column and said calmly: "But more importantly, find a way out of here."

He is not a relic hunter. He does not have a deep feeling about discovering a relic covered in years of history. Instead, he pays more attention to how to evacuate.

Moreover, the giant column emitting an ominous breath is like a time bomb, reminding him that this is not an ordinary underground site.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Moyou first visually estimated the height of the cave entrance from the ground.

It was about fifteen meters, and with the protection of Qi, he could jump directly down.

Then, Moyou jumped down and landed steadily.

Menqi followed closely behind, also jumped up and landed steadily on the ground.

"Here."

After landing, Menqi took out a snow fruit from his backpack and handed it to Moyou.

Moyou took the snow fruit, ate it in a few bites, and replenished some water.

"If we can't find the exit..."

Looking at the ruins in front of him that had existed for who knows how many years, Moyou's eyes were solemn.

There were hundreds of cave entrances distributed on the surrounding rock walls, and it was very likely that the structure was the same as the cave they came from, with only one route leading directly to here.

Even if it wasn't, it would be unrealistic to go in and explore them one by one.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

Moyou gathered his thoughts and walked towards the ruins in front of him.

Under the green light, the silent building complex was like a ghost town in the underworld, which was daunting.

Since there is the ability to teleport in, there may also be the ability to teleport out.

Moyou wanted to see if he could find similar stone slabs in the ruins.

"Hey, are you also candidates?"

Just as Moyou and Menqi walked a distance, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Huh?"

The two stopped abruptly and turned back to look at the source of the sound.

At the entrance of a cave four or five meters above the ground, there was a man with a figure like a bamboo pole standing there.

Moyou and Menqi were looking at the bamboo pole man, and the bamboo pole man was also looking at Moyou and Menqi.

They both saw the number plate on each other.

"Huh..."

Confirming that Moyou and Menqi were also candidates for the hunter test, the bamboo pole man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being able to see other people here means that there are more than one person sent here.

This possibility alone is enough to improve the mentality of the bamboo pole man to a certain extent.

Compared with the joy of the bamboo pole man finding others, Moyou was surprised.

Why were other candidates sent here?

As the initiator of the teleportation ability, Moyou thought that only he and Menqi were sent to this unknown underground site, but he didn't expect that other people would suffer with them.

This bamboo man in front of him...

Could he have been nearby when the teleportation ability was activated?

And then he was unlucky enough to be involved?

Moyou thought to himself.

The bamboo man naturally didn't know that Moyou was the culprit who sent him to this ghost place. He jumped down from the cave and walked quickly towards Moyou and Menqi.

"How did you two get here? I was still going down the mountain half an hour ago, and suddenly my eyes went black, and then I came here inexplicably!"

"Same as you."

Moyou looked at the bamboo man who came over.

This is an ordinary person who doesn't understand Nen.

This shows that the target selected by the teleportation ability is not limited to the Nen ability users.

"What is going on? Why were we sent here? It's really a ghost..."

The bamboo man scratched his hair hard, looking worried.

In this case, the bamboo man, like Moyu, would not feel excited or happy even if he found the ruins ahead.

Perhaps the ruins that carried a certain period of history contained many valuable antiques.

But if you can't leave here, no matter how valuable the antiques are, they will just be funeral objects and have no meaning at all.

Moyu looked at the bamboo pole man but said nothing.

You can't tell the bamboo pole man that you were sent in by me.

Naturally, Menqi would not pick up the topic and let the bamboo pole man keep complaining.

at this time--

Another sound came from one of the holes in the rock wall.

Moyou, Menqi, and the bamboo pole man couldn't help but look at the location where the sound came from, which was a cave entrance more than ten meters above the ground.

As they looked, they saw a short and fat figure rolling out of the hole, and immediately leaped and hit the ground.

"Ahh!!!"

The figure let out a scream.

The next second.

The figure hit the ground with a loud bang.

The violent impact caused the algae growing on the ground to ripple with green light.

As soon as it hit the ground, the figure's screams stopped abruptly and were replaced by whines.

"Here comes another one."

The bamboo pole man's eyes widened, and his originally irritable mood calmed down a little.

It seems that the more people who are equally unlucky, the better he will feel mentally.

Moyu looked at the person who fell out of the hole, and his eyes gradually became weird.

"This unlucky child was also sent in?"

The figure that fell directly out of the hole was the new killer Dongba.

Seeing Dongba, Moyu was surprised, and suddenly realized that there might not be a few people sent here.

That is to say——

The transfer ability he triggered is regional, and it is very likely that everyone within a certain range will be directly transferred here.

Dongba lay on the ground wailing.

The last section of the tunnel he was in was downhill, and the ground was very wet. His feet accidentally slipped, and his whole body rolled downhill like a ball to the end.

Who would have thought that the entrance of the cave would be more than ten meters above the ground...

This fall almost made him angry.

"There are, there are other people...that's great..."

Although the fall hurt, Dongba felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Meeting other people in this unknown environment is a ray of light in the darkness.

Dongba took a breath, then raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him.

With the green light emitted by the algae, he saw Moyu's face.

"..."

Dongba's face suddenly froze, and the wailing sound coming from his mouth gradually calmed down.

He obviously gave up on the hunter test and deliberately chose a route in the opposite direction to go down the mountain.

But why am I here? !

And why is this guy here? !

That is why ah? !

Dongba's eyes were lifeless and lifeless.

at the same time.

More and more sounds of movement came from the coffin-like openings on the rock wall.

I saw candidates appearing one after another at each entrance.

Among them were three men with beards.

"Although I don't know how the 'transfer ability' is activated..."

Standing at the entrance of the cave dozens of meters above the ground, the bearded man looked at the ghost town-like ruins shrouded in green light, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But the spoils of the 'Mengka Expeditionary Force' should be here!"
