Chapter 268 Promotion mission, dangerous game! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
The next day.
Maggie hasn't come back yet.
Connie found Chen Lun and said that the trivial matters in the manor had been sorted out and she could leave at any time.
"Well done, Connie."
Chen Lun praised her.
"These days, you have arranged the affairs of the manor in an orderly manner. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing, Mr. Jack."
Connie was a little surprised and smiled.
After she left, Chen Lun sat on the sofa and thought for a while.
‘Now that all the finishing work is ready, it’s time to leave. As for Maggie, just write a letter to Akbin and tell him the new address of the team and ask him to send Maggie back...'
He opened his hand, and green vines appeared, forming a book.
‘Get the last piece of extraordinary knowledge first today, strength is the most important thing. ’
The pages of the book turned, white light suddenly appeared, and Chen Lun entered the fairyland.
When he appeared again, he was already in an underground mine in the Haze Plains, inside a wooden house.
He pushed open the small door of the cabin and walked out slowly.
This wooden house is already located deep in the mining area. The surrounding mineral veins are sparse and the environment is darker.
Chen Lun had a feeling that he was approaching the end of the mine.
He took out a windproof lantern and lit it. He held the light in one hand and a silver cane in the other hand to deal with accidents.
The corridor became narrower and narrower, and the mining and banging sounds that could still be faintly heard gradually became lighter and finally disappeared.
After meandering for some distance again.
Chen Lun suddenly spotted a glimmer of light in front of him, as if he had reached the end of the corridor.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the light.
Chen Lun's vision suddenly broadened, and a magnificent scene came into view, which made him look surprised.
It turned out that at the end of the corridor, there was a cliff.
In the far distance of the field of vision, one can vaguely see a vertical rock wall that fills the entire field of view. The entire rock wall is dark brown, and no edge can be found in any direction, up, down, left, or right.
Chen Lun was far away from the "land" on the other side. There was an abyss a few kilometers wide in the middle. The sky shed a hazy light that could not penetrate the mist floating in the air.
He stuck his head out and looked up. The surface above should be tens or hundreds of meters away. Then he turned his head and looked down. Except for the fog, he couldn't see the bottom at all.
‘Where is this place…across a canyon, will there be a new map on the other side? According to the information about the cabin that Her Majesty Maggie told me, the last piece of extraordinary knowledge should be hidden underneath. ’
Chen Lun guessed secretly.
He tried to dig out a rock from the wall on the side with his fingers and threw it towards the "abyss" below.
The rocks fell straight down, disappeared into the mist, and made no sound anymore.
Trying to identify altitude by sound is completely unfeasible.
Chen Lun thought for a while, put away the kerosene lamp, then transformed into colorful scale wings from behind, and jumped directly from the cliff.
‘In that case, let’s fly down and see where it is... This should still be considered the Haze Plains, but it’s just on the border. ’
With his scales and wings trembling at high frequency, Chen Lun flew dexterously through the mist and headed towards the bottom of the canyon.
The air around him was a bit cold, Chen Lun's face was solemn, and he gradually saw the scene below clearly.
It was a flowing bright red river, and the pungent smell of blood hit his face.
‘River of blood…? ’
Chen Lun was very surprised.
The long river of blood seemed to never stop, flowing from an invisible source and heading to the other side.
On both sides of the Blood River, there is a muddy beach nearly a hundred meters wide, covered with fine sand, and some incomplete statues with half their heads or half of their bodies exposed.
Chen Lun endured the discomfort and landed on the river beach.
He looked down and his pupils could not help but shrink.
It turned out that what he had mistakenly thought was the fine sand on the river beach were actually blood-stained fingernails and tiny teeth.
This endless river of blood, coupled with these river beaches made of nails and teeth, gives people an extremely shocking and terrifying feeling.
Chen Lun had a sullen face and simply chose to explore along the direction of the blood river.
When you step on the "river beach" with your leather shoes, you can always hear a clicking sound and a strange touch.
When passing those half-buried statues, Chen Lun stopped for a moment and took a look.
He found that most of these statues were humanoid, including men and women, old and young, but their appearance and posture were a little strange.
There was a man wearing a long robe, scratching his back with his backhand and bending his back. There are also women who are half-clothed, kneeling and laughing.
There was a child sitting on top of the old man's head, digging out his eyes and laughing and tasting. There are also some statues that look like gods or angels. They are solemn and slightly coquettish.
Chen Lun found a statue of Mrs. Qiangwei. Except for the blurred face, the rest of the parts were still intact, but he didn't know why it was abandoned here.
He lowered his head and walked away quickly like a passerby.
Chen Lun remained cautious about anything involving gods.
‘This is probably the junction of the Haze Plains and the new map. Where does the Blood River lead to? ’
I don’t know how long we have been marching.
Chen Lun finally saw the wooden house.
It is located on the river beach below the cliff, facing the Blood River.
But next to the wooden house, there is a giant flower bone the size of a bungalow growing. It has a coquettish red appearance and its rhizome is constantly squirming like a living blood vessel.
Chen Lun guessed that this flower should be the elite monster near the wooden house.
He cast Peeping Life to explore it.
[You discovered the "corpse blanket" of polluting plants! 】
‘This plant...the strength and endurance attributes even exceed 100, which has surpassed ordinary Sequence 6, and will probably be a bit difficult to deal with. ’
Chen Lun thought briefly.
Wow!
The giant flower bud seemed to detect the arrival of living creatures through some unknown means and slowly bloomed.
More than a dozen "petals" spread out at the same time, revealing the internal muscle tissue-like veins, like skinned flesh, with holes all over it.
If you look closely, you will see that it is a big mouth that opens and closes, and it is full of sharp teeth.
The fishy and thick juice gushes out from those mouths, and the petals spread out and stick to the ground, like a huge carpet.
Buzz!
Chen Lun rose into the air, intending to fly over the range of the flower, bypass it and enter the wooden house directly.
But right now.
From the stamen in the center of the giant flower, under those disgusting and terrifying fleshy branches, a thick and long "vine" suddenly shot out, covered with eyes and sharp teeth.
Like its tongue!
The top bloomed again, and dense bone spurs appeared.
Go straight to Chen Lun in mid-air.
It is extremely fast and seems to be able to detect the movements of its prey on its own.
"Get out!"
The silver cane in Chen Lun's hand deformed, and he slashed at the disgusting vine with his backhand sword.
There was a muffled sound.
The sword edge blocked the attack of the vines, but did not cut them off.
Chen Lun frowned slightly. He felt the touch from the sword, as if it was chopping on an extremely tough skin.
“I don’t have time to struggle with you here.”
Chen Lun took out three bottles of blue ink incendiary bombs, activated them and threw them away, aiming at the stamen in the center of the flower.
Then the scaled wings vibrated violently, and the figure accelerated to fly over.
This polluting plant didn't seem to be stupid. It actually quickly danced its "long tongue"-like vines, pulled out the afterimage, and shattered three incendiary bombs in mid-air.
boom! !
Blue flames bloomed in the air, as brilliant as fireworks.
Chen Lun turned around, moved his gloves expressionlessly, and once again threw an extraordinary fireball as big as Babu.
boom! !
The vine's "long tongue" lingered, and the fireball fell on the corpse carpet flower, burning violently! The extraordinary flames released by [Fireworks in the Palm] have terrifying high temperatures, burning the flesh-like plants until they crackle, shrink and carbonize.
Ahhhh...!
Flames rose up, and after the Corpse Blanket Flower was burned, it trembled violently, and the fleshy branches at the stamens actually let out a human-like scream.
Its movements became several times faster, the spread petals suddenly closed, and then the whole body penetrated into the river beach surface made of nails and teeth, and disappeared.
All that was left was a hot pothole with smoke rising.
Chen Lun sneered, looked away, and pushed the door open.
He walked into the cabin and closed the door behind his back.
Click.
Familiar room furnishings came into view, and Chen Lun went straight to the desk without stopping at all.
A page of manuscript is quietly placed on the table.
This is the last piece of extraordinary knowledge about [Sequence 6 - Trapeze] left by Philip!
"Finally we have it all together..."
Chen Lun sighed and picked up the manuscript.
He took out the manuscripts he had collected and arranged before and put this page at the bottom.
After pulling out the chair and sitting on it, he put the manuscript upright and knocked it on the table to arrange it neatly. Then Chen Lun simply sat here and started reading.
[Discover the extraordinary knowledge of "Destiny Faction Sequence 6 - Trapeze" (complete)! 】
[You have completed the prerequisites for promotion. Do you want to start the promotion task? 】
'My promotion ceremony has finally come...let me see what it is! ’
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
"Yes!"
