Chapter 116: Underground Copy

Dark and damp.

This was Li Shouyun's first feeling after waking up.

"Where is this..."

Li Shouyun covered his head and slowly sat up.

What just happened?

It was as if the ground cracked and the alien tree roots grabbed their feet, and he lost consciousness as he was dragged underground.

So this is the underground world?

Or is he now inside a plant?

"woke up?"

As a voice sounded, Chiyou walked out from the darkness.

He woke up about half an hour ago.

The first thing he did after waking up was to simply explore the nearby terrain and find other unconscious people.

Looking at the unconscious Li Shouyun, Chiyou made a tentative cut with his knife.

The result was naturally a failure, otherwise Li Shouyun would not have had the chance to open his eyes at this moment.

The moment Chiyou drew his sword, the tree roots hidden in the darkness immediately came to life and blocked Chiyou's attack. Moreover, because Chiyou had murderous intentions, their luck decreased, which made the tree roots become more violent.

Not until Chiyou gave up his murderous intention and waited for a while did the fortune recover and the tree roots calmed down again.

These tree roots are not protecting Li Shouyun. In a sense, they are more like clearing out all creatures that set foot in this place. The protagonist's luck hides the breath of everyone, causing the tree roots to misjudge the enemy.

After analyzing this information, Chiyou became more careful in controlling his clone.

The killing of the clone will also affect the fate of the original body.

He didn't want to be fine because his clone killed people and let his real body be attacked by the tree roots.

In addition, he also received new information that even if Li Shouyun was unconscious, luck could still play a role.

Chiyou no longer paid attention to Li Shouyun and turned to look towards the darkness above.

Where on earth is this place?

The strength of the tree roots is a bit too high.

When he still had half of his luck, he was already unable to hold on. If all his luck disappeared, he estimated that he might not be able to survive even if he changed into the Ice Jade Suit.

You know, he is already over level 40, and even with the seven pieces of ice jade, he still has no confidence in survival. If it were anyone else, they would surely die if they stepped into this stage.

This is not a place that people at level 40 or 50 should enter, let alone people at a lower level.

For the next period of time, Chiyou did not move.

If it was his clone here, he would definitely go out to investigate.

But now it is the entity, and when it dies, it is really dead.

It would be safer to wait until Li Shouyun wakes up before taking any action.

"Brother Chi, how long have you been awake?" Li Shouyun's head was still a little confused, and because it was too dark around him, his senses were also affected.

"It didn't take long. I briefly explored the area and it's relatively safe for now." Chiyou replied.

"Where are the others?" Li Shouyun stood up unsteadily, his feet still a little unsteady.

"Not awake yet, but should be soon."

“Uh uh…”

As soon as Chiyou finished speaking, groans were heard from the side. Several people also covered their heads and sat up unsteadily.

"I... fuck... my head hurts so much." Jiang Chifeng covered his head. His brain was in a mess and very painful, as if someone had poked it with a stick and was stirring it wildly.

"It's good that I'm not dead. Where is this?" Fan Cai was also in great pain.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yin and the other two, who were at a slightly lower level, were in much better condition. This was probably because their point allocation method was mainly spirit-based.

"It looks like we've been pulled into the ground by those roots," said Li Ziqing.

"I don't know how deep it is, but don't think about digging it out. The tree roots are piled up on top." Chiyou said, pointing above.

"So this is the only way we can go?"

Looking at the equally dark passage, Jiang Chifeng couldn't help but frown.

They were now in a position where there were tree roots above them, and rocks and soil behind, on both sides, and there was only one way forward.

"It looks like this." Chi You pulled the bow to its full length, and a dazzling arrow shot into the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I don’t know if it’s the end or if it’s being held back by something.

"Then let's go. There's no point staying here."

Li Shouyun was quite open-minded. He held his spear and walked in front.

"Slow down, how about we discuss this again?" Jiang Chifeng hurriedly stopped him.

"We don't know where this place is, nor do we know how to leave. It's right to move forward. Staying here, although it's safe now, may be dangerous after a while. Don't forget, those tree roots are still up there." Jiang Yin said, pointing upwards.

The ground collapsed just now. Although it was a sudden incident that prevented them from reacting immediately, they could not deny the strength of these tree roots. Especially now that they could only see a few meters around them in the dark, it would be better to move forward than to stay.

Zhong Mei did not comment.

Since joining Li Shouyun's team, Zhong Mei has spoken very little.

Her personality was not originally like this, but she was added halfway through, and her overall fighting ability is relatively weak, so most of the time she just does things without saying anything.

The group began to move along the passage. Chiyou also carried the Elf King on his back, holding a level 30 dark gold long sword in his hand.

Although many of his sword skills are linked to Frost Ghost, some of them are universal skills that others cannot see when they are used.

In the current situation, it is more confident to hold a knife.

It is not enough to rely on luck alone, being more careful is the key.

The passage was not long, only about six hundred meters. What appeared in front of everyone was a wooden door with a hole left on it. Judging from its size and age, it should have been caused by the arrow that Chiyou had just shot.

"We, we didn't fall into a tomb, did we?" Jiang Chifeng's voice was a little trembling. He was not afraid of zombies, but he was always very afraid of these things.

Hearing this, the expressions of the others also changed slightly. Even though they had experienced the end of the world, zombies were disgusting and terrifying, while this kind was horrifying. The feeling was different.

“It’s not a tomb.”

At this time, Zhong Mei expressed his opinion for the first time since joining.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chifeng turned his head.

"I'm not sure, but I was curious about this when I was in college. I learned that this should not be the door of a tomb. The material and style are wrong. If I remember correctly, I remember that someone has speculated the existence of several underground cities. The place where we fell might be one of them." Zhong Mei said.

"What, what do you mean? In other words, this was a city before, but for some unknown reason, it was buried underground?"

"That's about it. After all, over thousands of years, anything could happen."

“Then why hasn’t it been excavated?”

"I don't know. It could be a technical problem, or simply a rumor. We didn't expect it to be true and we encountered it." Zhong Mei shook his head.

"Should we go in or not? There can't be ghosts or zombies in there, right?" Jiang Chifeng kept swallowing.

The end of the world has happened, there are zombies, so it is not impossible that there are ghost stories.

So should we go in or not?

After hesitating for a few minutes, everyone looked at each other.

"You have to go in, there is no other way to go."

"Then, then go in!"

Everyone looked at each other. Li Shouyun took a deep breath and put his hand on the door. With a teeth-grinding sound, the door slowly opened.

Then, a prompt popped up in front of everyone.

"A copy has been detected that can be opened. Please enter."
