The Little Blue Dragon turned back into a mini Xiao Long and lay on Yang Tian's shoulder, closing its eyes to rest.
Yang Tian and Soli stepped onto the square platform and looked at the square entrance.
The entrance was about three meters wide and square, with a stone staircase extending downwards. It was pitch-black inside.
Soli looked at the entrance, took out two flat round lamps from her storage bracelet, and handed one to Yang Tian.
This kind of lamp had very high intensity and was very convenient to carry around. Yang Tian had even bought one. Since Soli took it out, Yang Tian didn't take it out from his storage bracelet.
He placed the lamp on his shoulder and pressed a small button on it. Bright light was emitted from it.
The light emitted by this kind of lamp was scattered and could illuminate a very long distance. It was made of countless small laser-emitters gathered together.
After turning on the lamp, the two walked along the stone staircase, one in front and one behind.
Soli walked in front and Yang Tian behind. Yang Tian was three steps away from Soli.
The stone staircase wound downwards, and there was a moldy smell in the air. Dark green moss grew on the brick walls on both sides.
After walking for a while, Soli stopped and looked at the stone wall. She said to Yang Tian, "Don't breathe, the gas is poisonous."
Yang Tian nodded and patted the Little Blue Dragon. The Little Blue Dragon squeaked a few times, indicating that it understood.
The two held their breath and walked forward. Soli said while walking, "The plants on the brick walls can emit poisonous gas that we can't smell. I've seen it before. Although it can't kill people, it can paralyze our nerves.
Normally, this kind of mechanism is set up to reduce the speed of intruders.
The next mechanism we'll encounter will most likely require extreme speed to pass through … "
Soli was very experienced. She explained to Yang Tian while walking quickly.
Soon, the two passed the stone staircase, and a blue world appeared in front of them.
This was actually a space similar to an underground karst cave. The ground was completely blue, and it seemed to be filled with a very thick liquid. This liquid was like a melted blue gem, sparkling and shining. It looked very beautiful.
"Pu ~"
Suddenly, a blue liquid column rose from the blue liquid and magnetized to the top of the cave more than ten meters above the liquid surface, turning into countless "blue beads."
These "blue beads" dripped on the blue liquid like rain and melted back into the blue liquid.
During this process, a smooth dent appeared on the top of the cave where the blue liquid column hit.
It seemed that this liquid had a strong corrosive power.
After the liquid column was shot up, there was another series of "pu pu pu" sounds, and the blue liquid column shot up irregularly.
Soli took out a large piece of fresh beast meat from her storage bracelet and threw it at the blue liquid.
"Pu ~"
When the meat came into contact with the blue liquid, it splashed up circles of smooth milk tea-like ripples as if a stone was thrown into water.
The meat sank first and then floated to the surface.
At this moment, Yang Tian and Soli both stared at this large piece of meat with their eyes wide open.
If this piece of meat was fine, it meant that this liquid wouldn't cause any harm to the human body.
However …
In the eyes of Yang Tian, Soli, and the Little Blue Dragon, this piece of meat that floated to the surface quickly "melted" like a piece of ice under heat.
It "melted" very quickly, as if countless ants were gnawing on it. It became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
Seeing this, Yang Tian and Soli both frowned with grave expressions.
Then, Soli took out the ball-shaped detector from before and pressed a few buttons on it.
The ball-shaped detector flew out of Soli's hand and hovered in the space ahead, collecting some samples.
After the analysis, Yang Tian and the rest were surprised by the results.
The blue liquid was not corrosive, but made up of countless small creatures. After these small creatures were magnified by the instrument, they looked like small blue tadpoles. Their bodies were covered with spikes, and they had two rows of long legs under their bellies. Their mouths were very large, and there were many sharp teeth in their mouths.
The detector analyzed the composition of the teeth in this creature's mouth. Its hardness was close to the metal used to make spaceship shells.
The surface of these microorganisms was covered in a smooth liquid like a protective shield. It also had a strong corrosive effect and had a paralyzing effect on the nerves of living creatures.
Looking at the results of the analysis, Yang Tian could imagine what would happen if one were to fall into the liquid formed by these creatures and have their body quickly devoured … In just a few blinks of an eye, a person would be devoured to the point that not even their bones would be left!
Moreover, they probably wouldn't feel any pain during this process …
Soli looked at the other data of this creature and concluded that this creature had the ability to withstand cold and high temperatures. Using the temperature of humans on Earth, they could still remain active at a low temperature of minus seventy to eighty degrees, and they could only be killed at a high temperature of more than five hundred degrees.
"What kind of creature is this?"
Yang Tian asked with a frown as he looked at the endless blue liquid that was formed by countless of these small insects.
Soli didn't understand either. She first looked at the database before explaining to Yang Tian.
In human language on Earth, this kind of insect was called a "devouring insect". It could devour most organic matter to survive. It usually lived in high-pressure and high-temperature environments and lived in groups. Under special circumstances, they would even devour each other and grow infinitely.
The enlarged insects could survive in the starry skies, and their reproduction method was division.
However, when they devoured their own kind and became very large, they lost the ability to split and reproduce.
Someone once found a devouring insect the size of a planet that fed on meteorites in the starry sky.
From extremely small to extremely large, it could still survive in the starry sky!
What kind of lifeform was this?!
Yang Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The two of them looked ahead. In the blue liquid made of countless devouring insects, there were countless protruding black stones. Passing through these protruding stones was a very simple matter.
However, these blue liquid spurted out blue pillars from time to time. After hitting the top, they sputtered everywhere like sparks. It was very troublesome to touch even a little bit.
The two of them stood at the exit and watched quietly for a long time.
Suddenly, Soli turned around and looked at Yang Tian. "My whip wind can't stop these devouring insects from penetrating. We can only rely on your mental power."
This was the only way. Yang Tian's mental power could stop these insects.
Yang Tian wasn't surprised that Soli saw through it.
This was because Yang Tian had already used his mental power when passing through the magma.
Yang Tian nodded. "Then let's go!
I hope this cave isn't too long. "
With that, Yang Tian released his mental power and grabbed Soli's waist. With a leap of his legs, he dashed toward the cave filled with blue light.
The protective shield formed by Yang Tian's mental power was like a big bubble, completely enveloping him and Soli.
When Yang Tian had just run a distance with Soli, Genesis Star arrived with a group of people.
