The lake was much deeper than he had imagined, and the undercurrent was surging. Obviously, it was connected to more than one underground water system. He swam along the largest undercurrent.
The deepening of his affinity with the water element allowed Luo Kai's senses to expand almost limitlessly. The intricate underground water network formed a three-dimensional map in his mind through the continuous induction of his consciousness. Suddenly, Luo Kai felt that something was not quite right, because the water network in his mind was very orderly. One layer, two layers, three layers, it was like an incomparably huge underground building complex!
Not all places were submerged by the water, and many places were empty. Luo Kai swam through a long water tunnel, and felt that the top of his head was empty. He jumped out of the water and stepped on solid ground. In front of him was an empty underground space. He tried to breathe, and the air was very fresh, indicating that this place was not cut off from the outside world.
In the darkness, his eyes lit up with a little green light, but it was still very dark in front of him. Night vision was actually a kind of enhanced light sensitivity. If there was no trace of light, then he would still be blind. Fortunately, Luo Kai did not need to see too much now. His omnipotent spiritual force was like a radar, constantly feeding back the surrounding environment, and slowly groping around in the darkness.
After walking for about half an hour, the air became slightly drier, and some phosphorescent light appeared in front of him. He could barely see some things. These phosphorescent lights were a kind of chemical reaction produced by the bones. The ground was full of bones, most of them were human, but some were animal.
The human bones were not so bad, most of them were rotten beyond recognition. With a slight touch, they would immediately turn into powder. The animal bones were much harder, and many of them were even shining with a jade-like luster.
In the open space in front of him, a four to five-meter-tall giant skeleton stood erect, like the skeleton of a dinosaur. Luo Kai walked forward and carefully examined it. The bones of this skeleton were very fine, not inferior to metal at all. God knows how many years had passed, but there were still no signs of decay, and the sharp claws and fangs were still shining with a cold light.
Luo Kai was not the only living creature here, there were many strange snakes and rats. In front of him, there was a huge rat gnawing on a jade-like thigh bone. Its fangs could only grind off some bone powder, but it still gnawed with relish.
Luo Kai ignored it and continued to explore. In his vision, he saw many collapsed buildings, all kinds of broken bones, and rusty guns and cannons. There seemed to have been a large-scale battle here. He casually walked into a well-preserved metal house, and the things inside gave him a sense of familiarity. There was a decayed out of shape console and a broken LCD screen.
After walking around, he vaguely understood what this place was. This should be a large-scale underground bunker, which was probably used by humans to hide from the ferocious beasts after the catastrophe. But one day, the ferocious beasts attacked, and a fierce battle broke out. The result should be that humans lost, and this underground fortress was destroyed.
This was the first time he came into contact with his own civilization. Although many things were decayed out of shape, he could still roughly recognize them. There were mobile phones and computers. He could not help but sigh with emotion. At the same time, deep questions arose in his mind. What was the so-called catastrophe? What was it that prompted the birth of the ferocious beasts? What was it that concealed the electricity? And why did he appear in the future? Now he was sure that this body was his, and not some reincarnation.
Could it be that he did not die at all, but was frozen at that moment by some power? Or could it be that although he died, the memories of his previous life were transformed into genetic memories by some power and awakened in this body?
There was also the concept of reincarnation in human civilization since ancient times. It could be summarized as the soul of a life being immortal. It was like a program code that existed since ancient times. It was just that it was constantly undergoing reincarnation. Every reincarnation would be reformatted, and he was lucky enough to escape the last reformatting.
Just as Luo Kai was in a daze for a while, many rats and snakes appeared around him. They were originally enemies, but they did not attack each other. Instead, they targeted Luo Kai and attacked him.
Luo Kai pulled out his bayonet and pierced a few rats that were coming at him. His body moved, and he quickly broke through their encirclement and ran into the depths of the darkness. These rats would call for backup, and the more he killed, the more there would be. He could not waste time on this.
Luo Kai was very fast, and he soon got rid of them. In a small stone house, he wrapped his snakeskin clothes tightly around his body. He then lowered his heartbeat and sealed his pores. In this underground space, vision was almost useless. The animals relied on smell to find and lock on to their targets.
As expected, when he appeared again, no matter if it was snakes or rats, they did not pay attention to him. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
There were more and more rats and snakes in front of him, and their bodies were getting bigger and bigger. Not only these two animals, but there were also many strange creatures. There were centipedes that were more than a meter long, huge cockroaches, and millstone-sized toads. The ground and the surrounding rock walls were also full of all kinds of plants. This underground space had formed a closed ecological chain.
Luo Kai found that these creatures had a common characteristic, and that was that they were all creatures that liked Yin. His arrival did not cause any commotion. During this period of time, he had bathed in Yin herbs, and his breath had become somewhat similar to these animals.
In addition, he actively lowered his heartbeat and lowered the strength of his magnetic field. In this dark underground space, vision was almost useless. If one did not look with their eyes, no one would know that he was a human.
Most of the time, they were motionless, as if they only needed to be motionless to survive and gain some kind of power.
Luo Kai had already felt that the magnetic field in front of him was getting stronger and stronger. The cells in the deepest layer seemed to be stimulated by this magnetic field energy, and he understood why so many animals were gathered here. They were all bathing in this magnetic field energy.
Most of these poisonous creatures were in a state of hibernation. If they were not attacked, they would not be awakened. After hesitating for a while, he could not suppress the curiosity in his heart and carefully shuttled through the gaps between these poisonous creatures.
After a while, they finally saw what these creatures were surrounding. It was a huge skull. It was the skull of an unknown creature with huge horns. Just looking at it was enough to send a chill down their spines. This unknown creature had been dead for many years, but it still exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression. It was enough to strike fear into the hearts of those who looked at it.
Of course, there were also some creatures that did not hibernate. Under the skull stood a white-furred rat about the size of a normal person. It was half-squatting like a human, a pair of front paws crossed in front of its chest. Its eyes were narrowed, and a smile appeared on its slender face, as if it was immersed in a very happy state.
