With the help of the worker bees, the search went on smoothly.
Half an hour later.
Wu Ming and the others arrived at the top of the tower. They found a keyhole on the roof that was five meters long and wide.
Click!
As Wu Ming inserted the key, the sound of gears could be heard. The entire roof was shaking. Then, a stone door rose. Behind the door was a dark and gloomy tunnel that was slanted 45 degrees downward. The tunnel seemed to lead to hell.
"The Ice Pterosaur is too big. We can't go in. That's troublesome." Wu Ming didn't know what to do.
The tunnel was two meters long and wide, only suitable for small pets. But soon, Wu Ming's eyes glowed.
He patted the Ice Pterosaur's head.
Then, under Ye Sanniang's shocked gaze, the Ice Pterosaur turned into a ray of light and shrank into a Class C master ball the size of a fist.
"Let's go in!"
Wu Ming was the first to go in.
Ye Sanniang followed him closely, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Click!
Just as they were about to enter the black pyramid, the passageway suddenly closed, trapping everyone inside.
"This place is so strange!"
Ye Sanniang frowned.
"It's all man-made. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Wu Ming calmed himself down. He held the saber that was transformed from the dark golden armor in his hand. There was a strong flashlight above his head to illuminate the surroundings.
This was a tunnel that went straight down. It extended for at least a hundred meters until it reached the horizon. Wu Ming realized something.
The black pyramid that was a hundred meters tall on the ground was only the tip of the iceberg. This Mysterious Realm was much bigger than what the outside world could see.
After going down for three hundred meters, the surroundings became damp and the temperature rose to 60 degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, the dark golden armor could keep the temperature out. Otherwise, Wu Ming and the others would not be able to withstand the heat.
At this moment, the tunnel suddenly opened up. It turned into a stone chamber that was more than twenty meters in length, width and height. There was a stone platform in the middle that looked like a coffin.
On the other side of the tunnel, there was a half-closed stone door.
Whoosh!
In the darkness, a cold wind suddenly blew. The sarcophagus suddenly opened, and a two-meter-tall, strangely shaped beast rushed out, pouncing at Wu Ming with a speed of more than twenty meters per second.
Whoosh!
Wu Ming did not panic. He raised his long saber and turned it into a dark golden spear, piercing through the oncoming beast.
"Ahhhhh …"
The Ferocious Beast's speed was close to Grade F, but its body was very weak and could be penetrated by the dark gold spear.
However, in the next moment.
Strong acid flowed out of the beast's body and dripped onto the black brick along the dark golden spear. It corroded a large area and black smoke billowed.
"Strong acid corrosion, it really does look like an Alien."
Wu Ming muttered.
"Boss, what's an Alien?"
"A type of ferocious beast," Wu Ming chose to explain.
After a short contact, he found that these beasts only looked like Xenomorphs. They also had strong acid, but their combat power was slightly weaker. They were not real Xenomorphs.
Because the essence of the dark gold armor was a spiritual ball, it was immune to any strong acid corrosion, and its surface was always as good as new.
Wu Ming activated the Eye of Insight.
[Name: Acidic Beast]
[Grade: Ungraded]
[Remark: Has the natural talent "Strong Acid Corrosion". A type of ferocious beast with strong reproductive ability. It likes to eat rotten things.]
"So it's called an Acidic Beast. I thought it was an Alien!"
Wu Ming complained. He shook off the dead Acidic Beast and walked to the sarcophagus. He saw that it was empty inside, with only some licking marks.
It seemed that there was a corpse buried in the sarcophagus, but it was eaten by the Acidic Beast later on.
The group continued to go deeper into the tunnel.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The next scene made Wu Ming's scalp go numb. The ceiling of the tunnel was filled with Acidic Beasts. Some of them were even Grade F and Grade E, and they were very strong.
Puff!
The Blazing Yellow Duck spat out a flame python, and all the Acidic Beasts were roasted. They fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
"Tsk, and I thought it would be strong. In the end, this is it?"
Wu Ming curled his lips. With the Blazing Yellow Duck leading the way and Little Tyrant and Ye San Niang protecting him, they went deeper into the tunnel while converting the Acidic Beast's special energy. Their evolution points kept increasing.
Deep underground.
Due to the intrusion of a creature, a treasure box slowly opened. Countless black fog came out of it and formed a strange black spear in the air.
Whoosh!
It tore through the air and went up. Wherever it passed, be it Grade F or Grade E Acidic Beasts, they were all penetrated by the black spear. Acid spurted out, and they could not resist at all.
…
In the tunnel, there were endless Acidic Beasts.
Wu Ming was speechless.
He had already earned a few thousand evolution points with tears in his eyes, but he still did not find any beast above Grade B.
Not to mention Grade B, he did not even find any Grade C or D beasts.
"Could it be that my guess was wrong, and there are no powerful beasts here?"
Wu Ming mumbled.
At this time, they were already a few hundred meters underground. Along the way, they passed by more than ten huge stone rooms, but they still did not find anything of value.
Suddenly, a sharp sound pierced through the air.
"Be careful!" Ye San Niang was the first to sense the danger and blocked the tunnel.
Wu Ming immediately released his Dark Gold Armor and formed a shield in front of him.
Whoosh!
A black spear flew over. Just as it was about to pierce the shield formed by the Dark Gold Armor, it stopped immediately.
"This maneuverability is too scary!"
Wu Ming's eyelids twitched.
When the black spear was flying, there was a sharp sound piercing through the air. Although there was no sonic boom, it was at least 100 meters per second.
However, with such a fast speed, it stopped in an instant. Looking at it calmly, Wu Ming was shocked.
"It's the black spear that appeared in the mural!"
Wu Ming recognized it and immediately activated his Insightful Eye.
[Name: Demon Atomic Beast]
[Grade: Grade-B (Combined State)]
[Remarks: A special Direbeast that is almost immune to all physical damage. It was originally a Grade-A Direbeast, the "Demonic Beast", but it survived the gamma-ray burst and mutated into a unique Direbeast in the world. In the combined state, it is Grade-B. In the scattered state, its strength will decrease and it temporarily has no talents.]
Seeing this, Wu Ming was shocked.
'Why does the Grade-B Demon Atomic Beast have no talents? What's going on?'
Wu Ming could not help but ask the System in his heart.
"Ding!
In the combined state, the Demon Atomic Beast's combat power is comparable to a Grade-B Direbeast. However, it has no talents and can obtain corresponding talents by absorbing evolutionary food. Moreover, it does not need to transform again and the talent absorption is not limited by its level. "
The System explained.
Wu Ming's eyes flashed. "In other words, if I tame the Demon Atomic Beast, I can directly let it absorb Grade-B evolutionary food, skipping the Grade-F, Grade-E, Grade-D, Grade-C evolutionary food. There's no need to level up step by step, right?"
The System said, "Yes."
After getting this answer, Wu Ming became excited.
"Grade-B Demon Atomic Beast, I want it!"
He quickly took out the Grade-A Master Ball and held it tightly, ready to make a move.
On the other side, the Demon Atomic Beast seemed to have sensed danger. With a whoosh, it turned around and went back the way it came.
"After it!"
Wu Ming immediately moved.
While the group chased after the Demon Atomic Beast, in the passage, the Rainbow Chameleon with wings on its back was hanging upside down from the ceiling. It tilted its head and looked in the direction they went.
Then, it stuck out its tongue and followed them.
