"leave?"

Hearing these two words, Karen was stunned for a moment, then put down the liquid scorpion meat in his hand, raised his head and looked at me, "Can we leave here..."                                                                                                         �

“What are you doing down?

Shouldn't we climb straight up through that crack?"

"Need not."

I shook my head, handed the gun to her, then took out a dagger and looked around, locked in a dark hole in the rock wall opposite, and strode over.

Karen wanted to ask something, but after hesitating for a few times, hesitating and still followed my footsteps.

It made me feel relieved that she chose to believe me.

I once came to the giant scorpion nest and knew that the pits on the rock wall were passages to the ground. Although the geographical environment at the bottom of the sinkhole was already divided, it would save a lot of effort to get out of those passages.

After all, there was only one drug Karen used to suppress side effects. Before he had no choice, I was the only one who could use it.

So, I have to choose the safest method.

We walked to the pit on the opposite rock wall, and at least we needed to pass through the three giant scorpions entrenched here.

However, now that I have healed my injuries, I am not afraid of them.

On the contrary, I even had a little eager to try.

The only giant scorpions left in the nest are like old people, not very active.

And I also grasped this point and killed the giant scorpion closest to us in less than five seconds.

The dagger penetrated the giant scorpion's brain until the hilt of the knife.

Poor, this giant scorpion didn't even have the chance to wail, so it turned into a corpse.

Looking at the few crystal slimes brought out after the dagger was pulled out, I subconsciously licked my lips.

What a pity...                                                             

Until today, the giant scorpion that we hunted before was almost finished.

Then, I killed the other two giant scorpions with the same method. With the burst of superhuman speed, I almost didn't make much noise when I killed these Cancers, so the other giant scorpions scattered in the nest had no idea that their companions were dead.

A few minutes later, I had already taken Karen into the pit on the rock wall.

Originally, this was the road for giant scorpions to the ground, but now there is only the empty shell of giant scorpions.

"Do you think that monster is still alive?"

Suddenly, Karen, who was following me, spoke. Her inquiry made me suddenly startled.

Of course I know that the monster she is talking about is Wu.

That day, when we fell into the Rift, it just watched quietly from the side and did not help us. Although my reason told me that it was no different from a monster except for the human reason it still retained.

But my instinct has no favoritism for Wu.

If possible, of course I hope that Wu, like us, also fell into the rift and fell into pieces.

But I always feel that Wu is still alive.

I told Karen this truthfully.

"Oh."

Karen chuckled, "I've told you a long time ago that we should have killed him."

I waved my hand and didn't want to talk more about this topic. "It's useless to say this now. We'd better complete the task quickly and go back and hand in the work."

Our early passage was slanted upward, and because of the geographical fault at the bottom of the sinkhole, there were traces of fracture at the passage at every distance.

Fortunately, we can directly cross the past.

However, after we advanced for more than an hour, we had no choice but to stop.

There is a rift in front of us, and now, as long as we move forward, we will fall into the abyss.

As you can see upwards, we are more than 30 meters away from the ground at the bottom of the sinkhole.

Many plant root systems that cross the rift valley block our sight.

Karen and I couldn't help but look at each other. Needless to say, the scene in front of us has already made us understand that we have now reached the rift that we fell before.

There is no road ahead, and if you want to go up, you can only use rock climbing.

But there is another option before us.

No matter what, when we get to the ground, we have to move towards the radiation source, that is, if we climb up now, we still have to find a way to cross this rift.

Instead of that, we might as well follow these plants to the opposite side of the rift, and then climb up the rock.

But, you have to know that the roots of these plants are alive...                                                       

I believe Karen is aware of this, so I want to hear her opinion.

Karen shook his head and said, "There's nothing else."

I agree, but I don't plan to act immediately.

After all, this thing that looks like a plant root system is a living thing. Although this thing did not show murderous intention to us before, people know what will happen when we get close to this thing.

The plant root system that is closest to us, across the rift valley, can be obtained by just reaching out. It looks a little thicker than my arms.

To be on the safe side, I asked Karen to lean back a little, and then I tentatively reached my hand towards the root system of the plant.

I slowly and gently grasped the root system of the plant.

At first, the touch this thing brought me was no different from ordinary tree roots, it was rough and cold.

But as soon as I felt relieved, I saw white smoke rising between my fingers and a burning pain came from my palms.

"Hiss..."                                                             

At this time, my palms were already covered in blood and the flesh on the surface had been corroded and eroded.

Although healing was fast, I realized the seriousness of the matter.

I just touched this thing less than five seconds before and after I had touched this thing, my palm had been corroded like this. If it took a long time, would the consequences be great?

Looking at the root system of the plant I just held, it didn't move at all.

As far as we have discovered, this thing is not interested in us, but its surface is very corrosive.

"This injury should not be a problem for you, right?"

Seeing my injured palm, Karen showed no concern and even had a little bit of a fun attitude.
