Chapter 773 The mantis stalks the cicada
……

Lin Zheyu doesn’t dare to enter that mysterious black abyss yet.

He needs to wait for some time, and only after he has adapted to the stronger power of nightmare will he be qualified to enter.

After taking a final look into the depths of the abyss, Lin Zheyu decisively turned around and began to head upstream along the river.

The long gray river surges forward.

Lin Zheyu sent out clones from time to time to explore the long river.

However, the nightmare power contained in this long gray river is equally terrifyingly dense.

After the clone entered, it could not maintain it for twenty breaths and had to come out.

So, later on, Lin Zheyu simply gave up exploring this long gray river.

He began to walk upstream along the bank of the long gray river.

Lin Zheyu wanted to see whether this strange long river could produce some special precious medicines or spiritual plants.

Lin Zheyu was not the only one who thought like him.

Along the way, Lin Zheyu discovered three powerful men who were also exploring along the gray river.

These three are all powerful aliens.

One of them was on the other side of the long gray river, and two were on the same side as Lin Zheyu.

Lin Zheyu passed by them, and the two sides had a tacit understanding and did not engage in physical conflict.

After all, taking action in a place where the power of nightmare is so strong is not a good choice.

If you are not careful and are eroded by the power of nightmares and fall into a dream, you will be in trouble.

The long gray river seems to have no end.

……

Time flies and more than eight years have passed.

Lin Zheyu still couldn't reach the end of the long gray river.

Although here, he didn't dare to explode recklessly and hurried on at full speed.

But eight years is enough for him to come a long way.

Even so, he couldn't reach the end of the long gray river.

That's nothing.

What made Lin Zheyu most speechless was that eight years had passed and he still hadn't made any discoveries.

This so-called nightmare city was like a swarm of locusts, with nothing left behind.

“This time, I won’t go any deeper.”

"With my current resistance to nightmare power, I should be able to enter the mysterious black abyss I discovered earlier."

Lin Zheyu once again refined the nightmare power that had invaded his body and slowly stood up.

After more than eight years, under the continuous erosion of the nightmare power, he felt a very obvious improvement.

Originally, no matter what technique was practiced, the improvement to the physical body would be minimal.

This time, after being constantly eroded by the power of nightmare, Lin Zheyu felt that his physical strength had increased by nearly 10%! !
This is extremely amazing.

Lin Zheyu's current physical body is extremely strong. On this basis, his strength has been increased by nearly 10%, which is simply unimaginable.

Moreover, this was achieved in less than a decade.

However, Lin Zheyu could feel that the further he went on, the slower the improvement of the nightmare power would be.

But as long as the time is extended, this improvement is still very significant.

Therefore, although the Nightmare City was completely desolate, no opportunities or treasures could be found in it.

But Lin Zheyu still enjoys it and continues to explore deeper into the Nightmare City.

……

Wow~~~
The long gray river rushed in, pouring into the endless black abyss, turning into a spectacular gray waterfall.

Lin Zheyu stood on the edge of the abyss. A clone walked out of his body and leaped lightly into the black abyss.

In the blink of an eye, the clone was swallowed up by the darkness in the abyss and disappeared.

Although this abyss is special, it does not cut off the connection between the clone and the original body.

After more than eight years of adaptation, Lin Zheyu has been able to adapt to the extremely dense nightmare power in the Black Abyss.

It was no longer like before. Not long after the clone entered, he fell into a sleep under the erosion of the nightmare power.

The clones continued to move down the cliff.

The cliff walls were covered with a sticky, unknown mucus, and no plants could be seen at first.

But as we went deeper, some special plants began to appear on the cliff.

It was a special black and red plant that looked like moss.

As Lin Zheyu approached, this strange plant actually moved, gathered into a tentacle, and shot towards him.

puff--

Lin Zheyu punched out, easily blasting the black and red tentacles apart.

Baji~ Baji~~~
There were bursts of strange noises.

Soon, Lin Zheyu discovered that more and more strange black and red plants were flowing out like water, gathering into a hideous black and red monster.

"Collective creatures?"

Lin Zheyu looked with interest at the hideous monster formed by countless black and red plants in front of him.

A look of curiosity and emotion appeared on his face.

It was not easy. After entering the Nightmare City for so long, he finally saw a living native creature.

Although, this creature is somewhat special and seems to be composed of countless special individuals.

But, it is alive, isn't it?
shhhhh--

More than a dozen tentacles shot out from the black and red monster. Some of the tentacles were extremely sharp, cutting through the void and causing ripples in the void.

Some were extremely tenacious, covering Lin Zheyu from all directions and blocking his retreat.

Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Lin Zheyu kept punching and blasting away the ugly black and red tentacles one by one.

This monster is not very powerful, it just has a strange life form.

The black and red special individuals that flowed in continuously continued to merge into the ferocious monsters, replenishing their intense consumption in battle.

"babble!!!!"

Suddenly, the monster let out a sharp roar.

He seemed to be frightened by Lin Zheyu's beating, and his entire ferocious body exploded, turning into countless black and red individuals that flew everywhere and disappeared.

"This creature is quite interesting. I wonder what else is in the depths of the abyss..."

Lin Zheyu's eyes were full of interest. He moved slightly and continued to move along the cliff covered with sticky liquid, heading deeper into the abyss.

As we go deeper, more and more types of plants appear.

Many of them have good medicinal value.

However, Lin Zheyu did not pick them. His clone was only used to explore the way and he had no intention of going back.

There is no use in picking them, it is just a waste.

Lin Zheyu continued to go deeper.

One thousand meters... two thousand meters... five thousand meters... tens of thousands of meters...

Except for the monster formed by countless black and red moss-like plants that he encountered at the beginning, Lin Zheyu did not encounter any other attacks from native creatures.

However, his clone couldn't hold on any longer.

"I can't go any deeper..."

Lin Zheyu stopped and looked at the bottomless black abyss below, and a trance began to appear in the depths of his eyes.

This clone was severely eroded by the power of nightmare and could no longer hold on.

If you move forward, you might suddenly fall into a nightmare world, completely lose consciousness, and fall to the bottom of the abyss.

As for returning along the same route, there is no way back.

This clone was originally a disposable consumable used for exploring the way, and there was no intention to go back.

Boom!

Lin Zheyu did not hesitate at all. With a slight thought, his clone exploded.

……

slam-la-

Outside the black abyss, a long gray river rushed down, turning into a spectacular waterfall, pouring into the black abyss.

Lin Zheyu stood by, sensing his clone's exploration in the abyss.

When the clone could no longer hold on, it exploded.

His thoughts moved slightly, and his clone walked out of his body again. This time, it was not just one clone.

But there are more than thirty of them.

More than thirty clones rushed towards the abyss from different directions at the same time. Not long after...

Rumble, rumble! !
A terrifying roar was heard again from the black abyss. The thirty or so clones sent in could not hold on anymore and exploded.

There was no emotion in Lin Zheyu's eyes.

His thoughts moved slightly, and hundreds of clones walked out of his body and rushed into the abyss from different directions again.

Time passes slowly.

Lin Zheyu sent out more and more clones.

It didn't stop until all its clones, which had strong resistance to the power of nightmare, were almost used up.

We have to keep some clones that have strong resistance to the power of nightmare as a backup.

We can't use it all up here.

“There shouldn’t be any extremely terrifying creatures in the Black Abyss, or even if there are, they are restricted and cannot move freely.

Otherwise, the noise of the clone's self-detonation would be enough to alert the terrifying existence in the abyss."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

His body moved slightly, and he no longer sent out clones, but walked directly into the abyss.

With the help of his clone, Lin Zheyu moved very quickly.

He moved quickly along the cliffs of the Black Abyss, taking away the valuable precious medicines and spiritual plants that his clone had discovered while exploring the way.

These creatures, living in this special environment and nurtured by the power of nightmares, produce precious medicines and spiritual plants that are of great value.

After picking up the precious medicines and spiritual plants discovered and marked by the clone one by one.

Finally, Lin Zheyu stopped at a small platform area with a gentle slope.

"This is it..."

Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his perception was stimulated to the extreme.

When we were exploring the way earlier, more than a dozen clones died here.

It was not because he was being eroded by the power of nightmare and was about to fall into a dream and had to self-destruct, but because he encountered danger and had no choice but to self-destruct.

Lin Zheyu walked slowly forward.

From the perspective of his spiritual eye, regular patterns permeated the space between heaven and earth, and obscure fluctuations of origin flowed.

This area is set up with powerful formations and restrictions!
"After being here for so long, things are finally starting to get interesting!" Lin Zheyu's mouth curled up slightly.

He continued to go deeper and deeper, exploring the Nightmare City for so many years, but found nothing but a desolate and lonely world.

If it weren't for the increasingly refined power of nightmare, it would have brought him considerable benefits.

Lin Zheyu was planning to give up and leave.

Now, he finally found an interesting place in this mysterious abyss.

The formations and restrictions set up in this area are extremely powerful. Even Lin Zheyu needs to be very careful to pass through.

puff--

Lin Zheyu took a step forward and at the same time, pointed his right index finger at the void in front of him, poking and blasting the node where the regular textures intersected.

At the same time, endless martial arts divine patterns turned into blood mist, quickly diffused out, penetrated into the void, and quickly combined with the rules and restrictions that had just been exploded.

Thanks to the first miracle, Lin Zheyu spent a lot of time studying the formation restrictions on the holy mountain.

Otherwise, facing the formation restrictions here, he would really be helpless.

The formations and restrictions of the Nightmare Clan are very special, completely different from the formations and restrictions on the Holy Mountain, and also very different in style from what Lin Zheyu himself learned.

If it weren't for the time I spent on the Holy Mountain, studying the formations and restrictions.

Lin Zheyu was completely unable to take any action against the Nightmare Clan's completely different formations and restrictions.

Even if you can rely on your powerful spiritual eye to deduce, analyze and crack them one by one.

The time consumed will also reach an extremely astonishing level.

Even, maybe when the other wonders of the Era of Setting Sun are closed and the battlefield of all races is opened, it may not be possible to unlock it.

Puff puff--

Lin Zheyu walked slowly forward, his fingers constantly pointing into the air.

Endless martial arts divine patterns flowed out from his body, densely packed together, forming a blood mist that swirled around him.

……

"Hurry up, don't let the other guys get there first!"

"Just now, there were violent energy fluctuations erupting here one after another. Maybe some powerful person has discovered something."

From the black abyss, a purple figure shot out.

She was a graceful and beautiful woman wearing purple clothes.

Behind the woman, there was a man in gray. He had a tall figure and a good temperament.

The two people give people completely opposite feelings.

The woman in purple exudes an extreme chill, while the man in gray gives people a burning sensation like the scorching sun.

"Junior sister, be careful!"

"There is a powerful formation restriction there, don't go in rashly!" The gray-clothed man narrowed his eyes and suddenly reminded.

Upon hearing this, the purple-clothed woman paused and quickly stopped.

She took a step back and stood side by side with the man in gray, looking at the area ahead with a serious expression.

The Nightmare Clan's formations and restrictions are powerful and strange. If one accidentally falls into them, he may be trapped here forever.

"Junior sister, stand back and watch me break it!"

The man in gray smiled slightly and took the initiative to step forward.

He did not rush to take action, but narrowed his eyes slightly and observed his surroundings carefully.

There was an inexplicable aura of Taoism flowing in his deep eyes, and a boundless starry sky seemed to be reflected in the depths of his dark brown pupils.

"Well, have you found anything?"

After a moment, the purple-clad woman asked.

She carefully guarded her surroundings to prevent being ambushed by other strong men.

"The formation restrictions here have been tampered with, but only a small part of it..."

"Such a strong smell of blood... He is actually a warrior!"

The gray-clothed man's expression moved slightly, with a hint of surprise and interest in his eyes.

"Did the other party succeed?"

The purple-clad woman asked.

Her eyes scanned the void around her, capturing any remaining traces in the void.

I want to reconstruct what happened to those previous violent energy fluctuations.

What happened here again...

"Probably not yet."

"The violent energy fluctuations that were heard several times before should be caused by the other party trying to break the formation restriction here."

"He is indeed a warrior, his methods are a bit rough."

"But there are some methods that actually found a special way to crack it in their own way."

The man in gray smiled, observed the remaining traces around him, and commented on Lin Zheyu's method of breaking the formation.

"Since the other party hasn't succeeded yet, let's wait a little longer and let him go in and explore the way first." The purple-clothed woman said lightly.

"Well, hide first."

"The commotion here was quite loud. I guess other strong men will arrive soon."

The man in gray said.

They moved slightly, found a hidden place, and then stopped.

then,

The gray-clothed man flipped his right hand, and suddenly several ancient, slightly tattered battle flags appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the woman in purple also took out several ancient and slightly tattered battle flags.

If you look closely, you will find that the formation flags taken out by the two people are obviously a complete set, and the Taoist aura flowing on them comes from the same source.

Although there are restrictive rules in the Era of Sunset.

However, those powerful sects have also figured out corresponding means to circumvent the rules.

Just like the two men and women in front of us.

The formation flags in their hands were obviously a complete set. If they were separated, their power would only be at the level of Spiritual Transformation.

But if they were combined together, they would definitely reach the level of Heavenly Venerate.

The same set of formation flags was refined by two different cultivators, and then brought into the Era of Settled Sun, thus avoiding the rules of the Era of Settled Sun.
