Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 473 Underground Beast
The tunnels leading into the City of Hope from the outside world are divided into areas 1-50 according to their locations.

The smaller the number representing the area, the closer it is to the City of Hope. Theoretically, the smaller the probability of danger. The larger the number, the farther the distance, and the greater the risk factor.

In the tunnel, you couldn't see your hand in front of you, and in the darkness, you could hear rustling sounds from time to time.

Fortunately, Yu Yang and his companions quickly took out a fist-sized transparent sphere from their bodies. The next second, several spheres emitted bright white light, illuminating the entire tunnel as if it were daytime.

"This is a lighting ball. It is used for lighting. Just press the switch on it to start. It doesn't matter if the energy is exhausted. It can automatically absorb energy from the air and replenish its power like a combat armor."

Yu Yang said as he stuffed a lighting ball over.

"Although we can still see the surroundings clearly in the dark without this thing, after using it, we can see more clearly and drive away those creatures that like to live in the dark."

Jiang Cheng thanked him and pressed the switch.

The bright light illuminated several nearby tunnels in great detail.

After walking for about half an hour, Yu Yang said, "We're here. Area 15 is ahead. Our mission is to patrol these areas to see if there are any special situations. We may encounter danger later, so everyone should be alert and don't take it lightly!"

He turned around and looked not only at Jiang Cheng, but also at the faces of several other people.

Di Yun and the other two, who had looked relaxed before, now had serious expressions on their faces.

So the possibility of danger happening is very small, but it does not mean it is zero. If you are not careful, someone could really die.

Several people walked carefully in the passage, not only using their eyes but also releasing their mental power.

Soon, they came to a fork in the road, from which three passages emerged. One of the passages was covered with holes of varying sizes, making one's scalp tingle.

"This is the territory of the gluttonous ants."

Yu Yang introduced: "Don't underestimate the strength of individual gluttonous ants. Even the ant king is only a level 10 beast. However, there are at least hundreds of millions of gluttonous ants in a nest. When we dug the tunnel, we broke into their territory and paid a heavy price.

In the end, the leader personally took action and killed their ant king. Now, after so many years, we can live in peace with them. However, we still cannot be careless. If they invade the City of Hope, the consequences will be disastrous. "

As he spoke, Yu Yang took out a map, picked up a pen, and made a tick on it.

Jiang Cheng glanced sideways and saw many marks on the map. The patterns used for marking were not circles, but small patterns. For example, at their current location, there was a pattern of an ant on the map, and there were two small words below: Caution.

"Okay, let's go to the next place."

Yu Yang put away the map, smiled slightly, and walked towards the passage on the far right.

Not long after, they came to another fork in the road. This time, there were only two roads in front of them, both empty and not looking much different.

But if you look closely, you will find that the soil in the left passage is much softer, like a sandy land.

The ground in the passage on the right looked as solid as the ground under their feet.

"That's the territory of the bloodthirsty worms."

Yu Yang's eyes showed deep fear, "Don't think that there is nothing in the passage, but if someone accidentally breaks in, dozens or even hundreds of blood-thirsty worms will come out from the ground, and use their sharp mouthparts to tear the person into pieces and swallow them into their stomachs.

Don't underestimate their strength. Even the smallest bloodthirsty worms are five or six meters long, and their speed and strength are about the same as those of a level 7 or 8 Force warrior. The stronger ones are more than ten meters long. Even I can only deal with one or two at most. If I am attacked by several worms at the same time, there is no chance of survival. The deeper you go, the stronger the bloodthirsty worms will appear. I heard that even the big chief dare not go deep into the deepest part."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath after hearing this. My goodness, even the chieftain had never been in there. In other words, there were beasts in there that were equivalent to the supreme level of humans? Beast King level? Or even the Beast King level above the Beast King?
"Fortunately, these bloodthirsty worms cannot leave their territory easily. As long as we don't go in, nothing will happen." Yu Yang said, and took out the map again and put a tick under the mark of the bloodthirsty worms.

Jiang Cheng noticed that the two words below the bloodthirsty worm were danger.

He looked at other patterns and suddenly saw the words "Extremely Dangerous", which made his pupils dilate and he looked up.

I saw that it was a strange beast in the shape of a centipede.

"This is a centipede."

Yu Yang noticed Jiang Cheng's gaze and took a deep breath. "This is a true beast king. After we came here, it caused us a lot of casualties. Even several masters were eaten by it. In the end, the chief stepped in and injured it. In the end, we reached an agreement not to invade each other."

"?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

Does this mean that the Beast King has intelligence?

"Yes."

Yu Yang saw the confusion in Jiang Cheng's heart and explained, "Generally speaking, the IQ of a beast king is equivalent to that of a few-year-old child of our human race. The stronger the beast king, the higher the IQ. When it comes to the beast king, it is almost the same as a human. It can understand what people mean and speak beast language. The smarter ones can even speak human language."

Jiang Cheng took a breath when he heard this.

Good guy.

"But don't worry."

Yu Yang smiled and said, "We don't need to patrol these places. Instead, we need to avoid them. Not only here, but also these places are also places we need to stay away from. Otherwise, if we enter their territory, it's ok if we are not discovered. But if we are discovered, we will die without knowing how we died."

"so."

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

"In fact, the existence of these beast kings is not a bad thing for us."

Yu Yang said: "In a sense, these beast kings are also a few barriers. In the past, those people outside also captured our people and wanted them to lead the way to find the City of Hope, but in the end, those people were taken to the territories of these beast kings and became their food. Of course,"

Yu Yang's eyes showed a gloomy look, "Those who were captured were also not spared, but how should I put it? When they were captured, they had already been tortured. Rather than being killed in the end, it is better to drag the enemy along with them."

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng's heart was touched.

These beast kings are a source of danger, but they can also be a relief when one is left with no other options.

The few of them continued to move forward. Every time they came to a gathering place of strange beasts, Yu Yang would stop and explain it to Jiang Cheng.

On the way, they also passed by the habitats of several beast kings such as the centipede. Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth. By around two o'clock in the afternoon, all areas had been inspected and no accidents occurred during the period.
