Chen Nuo followed this team of living dead for who knows how long.
After washing off his disguise under the water, Chen Nuo has restored his original appearance - the appearance of a yellow race, which is not eye-catching in this team.
This team was originally composed of members of the two previous exploratory teams. The mercenaries of the second exploratory team came from [Black Bee]. In order to cope with this task, Black Bee specially selected a group of mercenaries who have been performing tasks in Southeast Asia all year round.
soldiers, so there were originally Asians in the team.
Walking and trekking in the rainforest is originally very strenuous, but this team worked tirelessly and never seemed to get tired at all.
These people never sleep or rest, and they don't even seem to know hunger or thirst.
Traveling through the jungle at extremely fast speeds!
Not even afraid of the tropical rainforest, which is already full of dangers!
It was as if poisonous insects, snakes, ants, or ferocious beasts were all ignored!
And when they move forward, they ignore the road and the terrain!
Once while walking through a jungle, Chen Nuo saw with his own eyes an alarmed venomous snake that attacked a member of the team.
But the person who was attacked seemed to be an unconscious wooden man, letting the poisonous snake bite him and hang on his body.
The hoarse person seemed to have no feeling at all and just casually removed the poisonous snake, tore it in half and threw it into the bushes.
Chen Nuo observed carefully that the guy who was bitten by a poisonous snake only had swelling in his arm, but after walking for about half a day, he gradually recovered.
The poison seemed to be unable to pose a fatal threat to him - or in other words, these guys were no longer living humans at all.
For two full days, the team moved forward in the rain forest, stopping only twice.
Once, we encountered a river blocking our way.
Originally, the team entered the river mechanically and swam. But soon, the first soldier who jumped into the river was attacked!
This river area is the habitat of piranhas.
So, a hundred numb-looking soldiers stood on the shore and watched indifferently as the guy in the river was bitten by countless piranhas, and was quickly reduced to a skeleton.
The strangest thing is that the person who was bitten did not let out a single scream from the beginning to the end. After struggling numbly for a few times, he just seemed to be trying to get rid of the piranha on his body.
After being unable to get rid of it, he was quickly eaten...
From beginning to end, the people on the shore made no attempt to rescue.
It's so quiet that it makes one's hair stand on end!
The only change was that the team quickly changed its direction.
The team moved to the right along the river for more than an hour, bypassing the area where the piranhas lived, and then re-crossed the river.
The second stop was after crossing the river and traveling for another day and night.
Chen Nuo felt that his power was being suppressed more and more!
He can't even extend his power to an unexpected space in his body! In other words, at this moment, Chen Yanluo, the most powerful spiritual power, can no longer be embodied outside the body, and cannot release any spiritual tentacles!
This strong feeling of being suppressed made Chen Nuo feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, after losing the ability to extend his power, Chen Nuo can be said to have transformed from a superman into an ordinary person - only physically stronger.
He can no longer use his mind to control anything except his own body.
Although telekinesis allows Chen Nuo to still control his body and make his body much more powerful than ordinary people, in essence, he has changed from a superman who can carry out long-range attacks to a physical attacker who can only attack physically.
player.
Let's put it this way, when the power could not be released, Chen Nuo's ability was temporarily suppressed to the state before he went to South Korea to save the fireflies for the first time.
Chen Nuo tried to resist this suppression instinctively, but as long as he mobilized his mental power a little...
The team suddenly stopped!
It was as if there was some kind of invisible and intangible program controlling this team! The team that was moving rapidly through the rainforest suddenly stopped and stood in the jungle like clay sculptures.
And soon, a powerful mental scan quickly enveloped the team!
Chen Nuo immediately withdrew all his mental power and entered a state of introspection!
He clearly felt that the scan this time was much more powerful and detailed than the previous one when he first joined the team.
This time, an unparalleled wave of powerful mental power enveloped the team, and then passed through the bodies of every team member clearly!
Chen Nuo stood at the end of the team and felt an invisible force enveloped him! That kind of search seemed to penetrate into every pore of his body!
It was as if even his heartbeat and blood flow were being thoroughly spied on!
This feeling, for an ability user, especially one with strong mental power, is even more uncomfortable than being stripped naked and standing on the street.
Chen Nuo held back!
He didn't even know if he would be discovered, but he was still lucky.
The enveloping scanning of mental power and the feeling of power quickly alarmed a jaguar living in the jungle.
The jaguar roared, jumped out of the bushes, and seemed to be very wary of the crowds not far away from it. After roaring a few times, the beast seemed to be debating whether to flee or to pounce.
When hitting...
The overwhelming mental power suddenly became violent!
Chen Nuo saw with his own eyes that this strong jaguar was cut open in the air by the power of his mind after it became violent! It was divided into countless bloody corpses on the spot!
After doing this, the violent mental power slowly faded away and turned back into a sense of coercion that enveloped the team.
Chen Nuo forced his heartbeat to keep at a very slow rate. He didn't even take a breath, and just stood there quietly, standing at the end of the line.
Finally, after a while, the feeling of being spied on completely faded away, and the team started to set off again.
After walking for two full days and nights, Chen Nuo was very tired!
Since he did not dare and could not release his mental power or use his telekinesis, Chen Nuo could only make full use of his body to fight against exhaustion, hunger and thirst.
After two days and nights, Chen Nuo has actually basically reached his limit!
He felt that his body was severely dehydrated. The sweat on his body had already soaked through his clothes, and then dried again, and finally he could no longer sweat at all.
The living dead in the team seemed completely unconscious.
Chen Nuo felt that the soles of his feet had been worn out, and the muscles in his legs had become stiff due to extreme fatigue. In the meantime, his calf actually twitched a few times. After Chen Nuo forcibly calmed it down with his mental power, although it was relieved, it was not.
I can no longer move around.
After not eating for two days and nights, Chen Nuo felt that his stomach would twitch from time to time after the acid in his stomach was secreted by the strong wind.
Naturally, my body already stank.
Chen Nuo knew very well that his body had begun to enter a dehydration reaction, but he was just gritting his teeth and persisting.
Finally, at the end of the second day and night, the team entered a small lake.
When wading forward, the lake was attached to a hillside that seemed to be only a hundred meters high at most.
Dense rainforest covers the mountains and below here, and only the lake seems to be exposed outside the rainforest, like a mirror cut out of a lush forest.
Because of the misalignment of terrain, an Amazon tributary river flows from high to low, forming a natural waterfall-like existence.
The river water fell from high to low, washed out the lake, and then continued to flow eastward.
The team jumped into the lake one by one like dumplings.
The lake was not deep. After Chen Nuo jumped into the water, he advanced more than ten meters in the water, and the water only submerged his chest.
Then, when the team began to enter the waterfall and got behind the waterfall under the erosion of the river, Chen Nuo was the last one to enter after the team, only to find that behind the waterfall, there was a passage in the mountain.
In the pitch-black passage, the team did not need any lighting and just moved forward in total darkness.
Chen Nuo didn't dare to release his mental power, so he could only try his best to follow the people in front of him and walk in step by step.
Fortunately, when he was crossing the water just now, Chen Nuo took the opportunity to take several sips of water in the lake.
Although the lake water looks very clear, but... I hope there are no parasites in it.
At this moment, Chen Nuo couldn't care less about these things.
After walking in the cave for a few minutes, Chen Nuo realized something was wrong!
This cave is in the belly of that hillside!
However, from the visual inspection when I was outside just now, this hillside is not only not high, but also covers a small area - the cave inside should never be so deep!
After walking inside for a few minutes, Chen Nuo could tell by feeling that he was basically walking straight on flat ground!
At this rate, we should have walked out of this hillside long ago.
It's like, in front of you is a house of only one or two hundred square meters at most. You walk in from the door and walk straight, but you don't get out of the house for a long time...
Then there must be something wrong!
As Chen Nuo walked deeper into the cave, he suddenly felt a strange feeling!
He felt slightly dizzy!
Logically speaking, it is difficult for people with strong mental strength to have physiological reactions similar to dizziness.
But this feeling of dizziness became more and more intense even as we walked deeper and deeper into the cave!
At the end, Chen Nuo even felt as if he was still an ordinary person when he was very young, before his powers were awakened, and he felt like he was riding on a pirate ship!
The kind that completely loses control of the balance of the surrounding space, causing oneself to lose balance, unable to assume a normal posture, and unable to respond promptly to changes in the surrounding space...
Chen Nuo can be sure that this place is in a cave!
There is no way a cave can swing like a pirate ship!
If not...
Then, there is only one answer!
The space here is forcibly distorted by a force!
·
This sense of distortion suddenly reached its extreme intensity at a certain moment!
This feeling is like stepping suddenly on the edge of a cliff!
The illusion that he was clearly standing on flat ground, with his feet clearly on solid ground, but he felt as if he had stepped on the air and his body was falling rapidly. Chen Nuo's cognition and perception were almost distorted!
This taste was so uncomfortable that it almost made him want to vomit blood!
But fortunately, this feeling of extreme imbalance and dislocation broke out suddenly and disappeared without any warning.
It seemed like just a second, and soon everything returned to normal.
That feeling of dislocation and imbalance faded away like a tide in an instant!
Then, Chen Nuo saw a dazzling light ahead!
·
The exit at the other end of the cave is right in front of you!
The light from outside came through the hole. Looking outside in the darkness, it was almost blinding.
This made Chen Nuo's heart immediately sink!
Unexpectedly, the cave was still pitch dark just a second before he walked over!
But after taking one step forward, such a cave suddenly appeared in front of us!
This is indeed the effect of space distortion!
Chen Nuo had already secretly guessed something...
When he followed the team silently and slowly out of the cave, and stood on a rock platform halfway up the mountain... Standing at this position and height, he could just take in all the scenery in front of him...
Chen Nuo sighed inwardly.
really!
·
Looking down from the hillside, there is a flat plain at the foot of the mountain!
In front of you is a picture that seems to have come out of the long history of the ancient Mayan civilization!
The square stone houses with rounded corners and spires of different sizes look like a city at a glance!
And just further away, there is a Mayan-style pyramid that is almost as high as a mountain!
It's just that this pyramid is bigger, taller, and more majestic than all the Mayan pyramids currently preserved!
Just by visual inspection from a distance, this pyramid covers an area larger than two football fields. Its height is even twice as high as the hillside where Chen Nuo is standing at the moment!
What made Chen Nuo's heart beat wildly when he saw it the most... was the top of the pyramid!
A stone pillar stands at the top, as if it reaches the sky!
The stone pillars soaring into the sky...are surrounded by square buildings...
All this, if all the vegetation covering the ground is removed...
It’s almost exactly the same as the layout in the undersea cave where the alien matrix at the bottom of the RB is dormant!!
·
Next to the rock platform on the hillside, there is a winding path that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain.
The team quickly went down the mountain, and Chen Nuo continued to follow the team calmly.
When they reached the ground, the team walked through the woods on the plain without hesitation and quickly entered the ancient and dilapidated city, which was full of square stone buildings.
Their goal is very clear - the huge pyramid!
When Chen Nuo followed the team into the city, he looked around and saw that everything was extremely dilapidated. A large number of stone houses had actually collapsed, and only a few were still in generally intact shape.
The whole "city" was silent, you couldn't even hear the chirping of insects and birds, and when you looked up, you couldn't see any birds in the sky.
The only sound that could be heard was the squeaking sound of the soldiers' boots on the ground in the ranks.
Here, it seems, no living thing can be heard or seen.
From the moment he walked into this "urban ruins", Chen Nuo pricked up his ears and cheered up to observe and sense carefully...
You know, that time in the underwater cave, there was a "consciousness" specifically responsible for guarding the mother's body!
It took more than half an hour to walk through this building complex.
The speed of the team had slowed down so much that Chen Nuo, who was exhausted, could barely keep up.
At this moment, he didn't dare to release any mental power to spy on his surroundings - even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.
The feeling of invisible coercion is everywhere! Chen Nuo has tried his best to completely gather his mental power in the consciousness space force, not daring to push it at all, trying his best to suppress the fluctuations of mental consciousness.
Ordinary people are much weaker.
In order to disguise himself, he even forcibly gathered all his mental power and carefully suppressed the fluctuations in consciousness.
After passing through the city complex, the team soon came to the huge pyramid.
When we walked to the foot of it, although the overall building of the pyramid was very dilapidated, and even from the appearance, the stones in many places had peeled off or even collapsed, the structure was still very strong!
Especially standing at its feet, you can feel the huge and majestic feeling.
·
A wide staircase leads up to the main entrance of the base of the pyramid.
The arched main door was wide open, and after the teams filed in, Chen Nuo entered the interior of the pyramid.
This is a passage made of stones.
The passage is wide enough for four people to walk side by side at the same time.
On the stone walls on both sides, there are various murals engraved on it!
Although 99% of the color has peeled off, some of the original texture can still be seen.
The team was still moving very fast. Chen Nuo didn't have time to look at them more, and he didn't dare to use his mental energy to forcefully memorize them, so he didn't have the energy to write down the contents of these murals on the way.
The only mural that he could remember firmly after seeing it once, the graphics made Chen Nuo fall into deep thought.
It was a picture of a pyramid, with countless little people below it prostrate and worshiping around the pyramid.
And right at the top of the pyramid is the huge stone pillar.
The mural showed a scene that made Chen Nuo's scalp numb: a huge black shadow was entrenched on the top pillar of the pyramid.
I can't see clearly what that thing is, but one feature is obvious.
This black shadow has eight legs!
·
Under the inner belly of the pyramid is an indoor hall.
The shape of this palace is a bit strange.
In the circular hall, a huge pit was dug out!
It is about three meters above the ground, and there are circular holes on the walls of the pit.
And just around the main hall, there are stone pillars one after another. The stone pillars have different shapes, including humanoid ones, animal shapes, and even half-human and half-animal shapes.
The edge of resistance is the step.
The team walked directly into the pit, and then, these guys stood in line in the pit, as if they were consciously standing in line.
For a moment, Chen Nuo felt that a consciousness seemed to separate from these "living dead" at the same time and quickly left their bodies!
Gudu Gudu...
From the holes in the pit, streams of translucent white liquid quickly flowed out!
It looks like some kind of liquefied wax or some kind of grease!
Such grease quickly flowed out of a total of sixteen holes around it, and soon poured into the pit!
After a while, the floor of the pit was flooded with grease, and all the "living dead" standing in the pit were swallowed up to their ankles by the grease...
Slowly, it’s the calves…and then the knees!
Chen Nuo just stood in the queue, and when the oil engulfed his calf, the oil penetrated through his pants and soaked into the skin of his calf...
Chen Nuo's eyes suddenly widened unconsciously!
This feeling...how to put it...
Any part of the skin that comes into contact with oil will feel like every sweat pore is singing happily!
Every inch of skin, every muscle fiber, and every cell of the muscles that were already sore and even torn to the extreme due to exhaustion, were like shriveled plant seeds, were instantly moisturized!
The feeling of flesh and blood filling up in an instant, the feeling of vigorous and pure vitality, the feeling of being immersed in and even being noticed in one's body in this form...
It seems like every cell is cheering for joy!
In an instant, Chen Nuo immediately found the answer that he had been confused about before!
These living dead... have obviously not eaten for a long time... how do they keep their bodies from collapsing!
Even if consciousness can be controlled, it is impossible for a human body to maintain its body functions without eating for such a long time!
The grease has flooded my thighs!
Chen Nuo began to deepen the depth and frequency of each breath.
Although he could not put his mental power outside his body, Chen Nuo began to consciously inhale as much oxygen as possible with every breath, and then commanded his body to enter a dormant state as much as possible...
A boss who has reached Chen Nuo's level can already basically control and master his own body freely, even down to cell division, wound healing, etc...
Heartbeat and blood flow can all be controlled!
The grease flooded Chen Nuo's chest!
The other "living dead" around them still maintain their postures like clay sculptures.
Chen Nuo was not surprised... these guys were already dead to a certain extent! They were just fleshly puppets that could walk and move!
But their consciousness, their souls, have long since died.
When the grease flooded his neck, Chen Nuo forced himself to enter a dormant state.
He felt the exhaustion and hunger of his body for many days. As each cell was frantically devouring the powerful vitality brought by the oil, it gradually became moisturized and full... Chen Nuo even judged
It turns out that in this state, as long as you soak in this oil for another hour or two, your body will be able to return to its best condition!
It may even be taken to the next level.
When the grease finally engulfed Chen Nuo's mouth and nose, he held his breath. A thin line of thought blocked the inflow of grease in the nasal cavity and ear canal, and Chen Nuo forced himself to enter hibernation...
·
The third day and night passed.
The pit had already been filled with grease, and then the pouring stopped.
The surface layer of grease has gradually dried up, and a hard cover like a wax shell has formed on the outermost surface.
A hand suddenly broke out of the shell!
Chen Nuo struggled out of the pit, slowly breaking through the solidified grease, and slowly got his body out.
After he climbed out, he took a few deep breaths, but he didn't feel the lack of oxygen he thought he had.
It's like being soaked in grease, infusing vitality and supplementing enough oxygen.
On this point, Chen Nuo also made the right bet!
After he dissected several corpses of the living dead, he came to a conclusion!
These guys must have some kind of magical power that keeps their bodies from getting ruined and keeps their bodies "survival" on the physical level!
If there is a lack of oxygen when soaked in oil, some organs in the body will fail long ago.
·
It is already dark at this moment.
Chen Nuo climbed out of the pit. In this dark hall, only a little bit of starlight from the sky could be seen faintly outside the arches of the hall.
Standing on the edge of the pit, through the solidified translucent grease, you can see the living dead "dolls" "buried" underneath.
In the middle of the night, such a scene is enough to make people feel chilly.
Chen Nuo let out a breath, then carefully walked out from the passage on the other side of the hall...
At the end of a passage is another inner chamber.
As soon as Chen Nuo walked in, he saw a pit of the same size!
In the translucent pit, under the grease, there are also solidified figures that look like dolls.
The "dolls" in this pit are dressed a little differently.
Chen Nuo no longer saw the mercenaries of Sand Fox or Black Bee, but instead saw a few wearing jackets worn by adventurers in the tropical rain forest, who looked like archaeologists.
Among them, you can occasionally see one or two indigenous people.
"Um?!"
Chen Nuo was suddenly stunned!
He stared at the doll on the outermost edge of the pit, buried in a translucent grease shell.
This is what a very simply dressed aborigine looks like...
But Chen Nuo still recognized it at a glance!
This aboriginal is none other than the aboriginal guide in the exploration team he is in!!
Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, and immediately began to carefully search for other people in the pit!
There was nothing to gain in this inner hall, so Chen Nuo continued walking inside!
He encountered another pit. This time, the people buried in the grease pit were not humans, but animals of different shapes.
There are jaguars, pythons, monkeys...
These things are all wrapped in pits of grease, like specimens.
In the pit of the fourth inner hall discovered, Chen Nuo found his goal!
A group of people in the pit, drowning in grease...
Chen Nuo saw a few Steel Fire mercenaries! Then he immediately saw a familiar guy!
Vanel was on the outermost edge of the pit, his body still struggling. Although he was buried in the pit, his eyes were wide open and his face was filled with anger!
Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, then slowly squatted on top of Vanel's head, thinking carefully for a while.
Then, he made a decision in his heart!
Chen Nuo pulled out his dagger, dug a pit, and then grabbed one of Vanel's wrists. Under the force, the grease shell of the pit was torn apart by his strength, and then Vanel was forced by him.
Drag it out from inside!
Putting Vanel on the ground, he first checked his pulse, and then Chen Nuo slapped Vanel hard several times...
"………………………………call!!!"
Vanel suddenly stared, and after spitting out a long breath, his body twisted and struggled like a fish for a few times, and his eyes quickly regained focus.
He cursed a few words quickly - in Russian.
Vanel's eyes widened, he looked up at Chen Nuo, and immediately pressed Chen Nuo's arm with his backhand, and at the same time, he greeted Chen Nuo with a reverse joint technique.
Chen Nuo didn't want to fight with him, so he immediately let go and backed away.
Vanel stared at Chen Nuo with wide eyes, and then finally calmed down. He quickly glanced around, then looked at Chen Nuo:
"Who are you! Where am I?!"
Chen Nuo rolled his eyes, and then suddenly a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
