There is a dark vortex underground.
It was like a black hole, absorbing all the light and heat around it, leaving behind only chaotic darkness, emitting an unprecedented aura of terror.
Just by seeing it from afar in his gifted vision, Gu Qiongsheng felt an indescribable great crisis instantly enveloping his whole body. A chill suddenly ran up his spine, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out its tongue, winding along the spine, and the cool and rough texture of its scales slid against his skin.
...What is that?
Even the Zerg weren't so terrifying within his innate vision. After repeatedly invoking his innate ability, Gu Qiongsheng had grown accustomed to seeing those garbled, bizarre, and malevolent patches of color within his field of vision.
But the black hole ahead is different.
It seemed to be unconscious, but its existence itself was the greatest malice in the world. Looking at it from afar, Gu Qiongsheng felt that everything around him was being pulled away, the sound, the air, the light and shadow, and the color... The cold wind passed by his ears, and then disappeared without a trace, and was completely swallowed up by the terrifying darkness.
Could this be the truth about Xiling Star that the parasite told us?
It really looks like there is a super big BOS hidden.
The most terrifying thing was that when Gu Qiongsheng's gaze stayed on the black hole for more than ten seconds, the black hole seemed to sense something and shook suddenly.
Like a prehistoric beast heavier than a mountain, it opened its eyes in an instant, revealing sharp, cold and evil vertical pupils.
Deep in the black hole, Gu Qiongsheng saw a pair of scarlet eyes!
Her back shuddered suddenly, and she immediately withdrew from the gifted vision. When she came to her senses with a heavy breath, she realized that she had broken out in a cold sweat in the moment when they had just looked at each other.
...What a terrifying power!
Gu Qiongsheng was still frightened and wiped the sweat from her forehead. At this time, Zhou Qing had already stood up excitedly and took her hand: "Sister Qiongsheng, we succeeded!"
Although there was no measuring instrument to check, she had a hunch that even if she was not S-level this time, she would definitely be at the peak of A-level!
Gu Qiongsheng forced himself to cheer up and hugged her. He then pursed his lips and looked seriously at the surrounding soldiers: "There is no time to lose, let's retreat quickly."
The momentary gaze into the black hole and the unspoken terror still lingered in her heart.
The other party is actually a living creature?
Gu Qiongsheng was not sure whether his previous exploration had alarmed it, but no matter what, they could not delay any longer.
…
The power after awakening was indeed strong. When Zhou Qing condensed the black sickle again, the temperature of the entire room dropped instantly.
The sharp giant sickle has now become more transparent, and the blade slides across, flashing a cold light like frost and snow.
"boom--!"
The wall that had been dented by the previous attempts and efforts of several warriors but could only be smashed into a dent was now neatly and clearly arranged like a fragile block of tofu under the cutting of the giant sickle.
After cutting a gap as high as a person in the wall, the group of people finally saw their current situation clearly through the faint light of the searchlight.
Below them lay a bottomless crevice, flanked by strange rocks and sandstone trembling with rustling grit. Above them lay pitch-black darkness, with no sign of the research institute visible except for the constantly tumbling debris.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers felt a little scared.
Gu Qiongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. After a moment, he said in surprise, "It's okay. It's only more than 300 meters away from the research institute. Let's climb up quickly. It's no problem."
The soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief.
The darkness ahead is so piercing that even the searchlight cannot illuminate it all. Climbing in such darkness consumes more than just physical strength.
But Gu Qiongsheng clearly stated the total height, and this distance suddenly became nothing in the eyes of the soldiers - in the War Academy, their daily training was about the same difficulty, and that was when they were restricted from using mental power and had to rely purely on physical strength to climb.
Grabbing the protruding rocks on both sides, a group of people moved nimbly and climbed up quickly.
Along the way, Gu Qiongsheng's healing skills continued to fall, keeping everyone's body full of energy.
But even so, the situation was still grim - sandstone was weak in strength and had limited bearing capacity. When climbing over a steep rock wall, a soldier just grabbed a protruding rock with his right hand, and suddenly the rock trembled a few times and broke!
In a flash, several threads of mental power hung down from above, holding the person tightly.
Gu Qiongsheng's voice came from above: "Everyone, wrap this around your waist to ensure safety!"
After awakening, her silk threads became more resilient, and she forcibly built silver bridges between the six climbing people.
After climbing a little further, they were less than a hundred meters away from the research institute.
Suddenly, everyone heard a series of chaotic noises coming from the cracks below.
“Ah, ah…”
“Rustle, rustle…”
Gu Qiongsheng frowned slightly and glanced down.
This sight made her scalp tingle and alarm bells rang in her ears - her innate vision spread out in full force, showing an endless stream of colorful blocks pouring out from the black hole below, representing densely packed insects, rushing towards them like a tide.
The glance they just exchanged from a distance really alarmed the huge monster underground!
"The Zerg are coming!" Gu Qiongsheng said, breathing rapidly, "Let's hurry up!"
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, and her body moved like a nimble cheetah, climbing up quickly along the protruding rocks.
After dodging a few falling rocks, the group climbed up and finally stepped on the tiled floor of the institute again.
After experiencing wave after wave of earthquakes, the research institute is now in a precarious situation. The ceiling and floor are covered with cracks. Gu Qiongsheng can even hear the slight creaking sound of the walls unable to bear the weight.
The soldiers surrounded her and protected her in the center.
Someone looked back at the way they had come, at the collapsed corridor and the piled-up rocks, and said anxiously, "The road ahead is blocked, and the ventilation duct has collapsed. We have to find another way."
At this moment, bat insects skilled in flying appeared under the crack in the ground, flapping their wings, baring their fangs in the darkness, and rapidly approaching them.
"Bang!"
Zhou Qing grasped the long handle of the giant sickle with both hands and swung it vigorously.
The ground they had just climbed out of was smashed through by sharp blades, and huge rocks rolled down, knocking down several screaming bat insects.
The crack in the ground was barely blocked, but as a result, the ground of the research institute shook several times, and dust fell from everyone's heads.
"We won't be able to hold out like this for long," a soldier said hurriedly. "If there are any rift worms left, they'll break through the blockade quickly."
Gu Qiongsheng suddenly said: "It's okay."
She tilted her head slightly, and a faint light suddenly appeared in her pupils, flowing and echoing like gold.
Her sight was stretching away, past the rubble, past the ruins, past the collapsed walls and scattered rubble. Gu Qiongsheng looked around quickly, and the few remaining normal passages in the institute fell into her sight. Her mind was racing, looking for a suitable way out.
Finding a way out in a dark environment with pursuers behind you sounds extremely difficult, but for Gu Qiongsheng, it is a piece of cake.
She soon found a way out, and more than one.
More importantly, in a certain passage, Gu Qiongsheng observed a small piece of foam.
The fluorescent light flickered and danced gently, but it was not bright, but covered with a slightly dull gray.
——is a bubble that symbolizes the human soul.
His mind raced as Gu Qiongsheng suddenly turned around and rushed towards a mostly blocked corridor on the left.
"Here," she called, "this is the exit!"
…
The passage on the left was more complicated. Gu Qiongsheng led a group of people to turn left and right inside, sometimes drilling through the ventilation ducts, sometimes chiseling through the walls, until finally even the well-trained soldiers felt dizzy.
At this time, they finally stood in front of a slightly loose pipe.
The soldiers looked at the pipeline that was completely blocked by sand and gravel, stunned and bewildered: "Where is the road here?"
"It will be available soon," Gu Qiongsheng lowered his voice, "but now—Zhou Qing!"
She suddenly turned sideways and slipped into the corner of a nearby corridor. The mental power in her hand turned into sharp spikes and stabbed fiercely into the shadow!
"Bang!"
The harsh sound of metal and stone colliding rang out, echoing back and forth in the narrow and cramped space.
The soldiers reacted immediately, their expressions became stern, and they all entered combat status.
If there is a fight, it means there is an enemy around the corner!
The other party had been secretly observing and following them and came to the exit of the pipe!
“Sizzle——”
Zhou Qing lit the incendiary stick.
The sparks burst out, and the illumination time is shorter than that of a searchlight, but the light is stronger, and in an instant the narrow corridor is illuminated as if it were daytime!
She leaned forward with her upper body and threw the burning stick into the shadow. In front of the shadow, Gu Qiongsheng's eyes were like torches, and the spikes in his hands quickly transformed into a large number of interwoven sharp threads!
The silk thread was like a spider web, rushing forward and completely covering the figure in the shadows.
Someone chuckled softly in the shadows.
"I didn't expect you to come out so quickly," his relaxed voice echoed in the air. "So, did you see the truth?"
The burning stick swept across the corner of the wall, leaving a cloud of black smoke. The man reached out and grabbed it, easily holding it in his palm.
Gu Qiongsheng didn't say anything, but just tightened the five fingers of her right hand. The silk thread was under her control and tightened rapidly in an instant.
A tight net was laid around the black shadow.
But the man was not afraid at all, and even laughed softly: "Didn't I tell you, when it comes to playing with silk, how could you possibly beat me?"
“No matter how sharp the silk thread is, it’s just an ordinary foothold for me.” He raised his hand and grabbed the silk threads that gathered around him. “Just like this—”
“Crack!”
The parasite's voice stopped abruptly.
The moment the spider thorn touched the silk thread, he did not break it as easily as he had imagined, because there was also a bone-chilling chill spreading along the silk thread, icy and biting, as if the dead of winter had suddenly arrived!
The parasite's spider stings were instantly covered with a layer of frost.
He suddenly retracted his fingertips and shivered, and this moment of stagnation caused him to be completely wrapped by the silk thread, sealed tightly like a silkworm cocoon!
Through the layers of silk threads, Gu Qiongsheng's smiling voice came from afar.
"Yeah, you're awesome."
She smiled calmly, "But who said that this time, I only have pure spiritual power threads in my hands?"
When the attack was launched, Gu Qiongsheng rushed to the front.
So no one noticed that a thin figure was hiding behind her. The moment Gu Qiongsheng swung out the silk thread, he stretched out his white hand and quietly grasped the other end of the thread.
The power of frost transformed into a huge wave, and with the force of an avalanche, it came flooding down the silk thread.
This was one of the combat methods that Gu Qiongsheng came up with to cooperate with Zhou Qing after observing the combat coordination between Zheng Hun and Zhou Feng.
With the help of darkness, he concealed his true intentions and caught the arrogant black shadow off guard!
Wrapped in silver threads, the parasite's face suddenly turned gloomy.
A powerful pressure emanated from his body, and the spider thorns suddenly stretched out, cutting hard at the silver threads around him.
He was actually very strong. He had not used his full strength before because, on the one hand, he had full confidence in himself, and on the other hand, he believed that a little girl like Gu Qiongsheng could not escape from his grasp, so he could tease her as easily as a cat playing with a mouse.
Now that he had suddenly suffered a loss, the parasite felt extremely humiliated. He immediately used all his strength to mobilize the energy in his body, pouring out his mental power without reservation. The spider thorns flew and smashed the frost silk threads that wrapped around him!
But after breaking through the ice, the parasite suddenly discovered that Gu Qiongsheng and his group had all entered the passage and drilled out at least a hundred meters.
The speed was so fast that it felt like they were walking on the wind. The narrowness of the passage did not slow them down at all.
"……grass!"
He was anxious and angry, and shouted loudly: "Stop right there—"
“Crack.”
Another crisp sound suddenly appeared.
It was like a broken wall that was originally sealed, but under the violent impact of external force, it finally lost its blockade.
The rustling sound of crawling and the friction of the front legs hitting the ground suddenly rang out, and it was already very close.
The insects that were thrown away by Gu Qiongsheng and deliberately kept a distance from him finally caught up.
