At night, Lin Yi found many shadowy figures around the orphanage.
Lin Yi didn't even have to guess. Apart from Li Ke's identity, there was nothing else good about this orphanage that could attract these people.
Lin Yi sighed and closed the books on the table. There were two guys opposite Lin Yi's window. Their eyes could be said to be staring straight at Lin Yi, even if Lin Yi wanted to ignore them.
"Boss, why do we have to keep an eye on this person?" A cave explorer with a cang flute hanging around his neck, who looked a bit wretched, was hiding in the jungle and staring at Lin Yi with a telescope-like device.
This man's name is Ward Allston, and he is a bounty hunter. He always rushes for valuables wherever they are found.
"Of course someone is keeping an eye on Lysa's daughter. According to the information we have, this guy is very close to Lysa's daughter, and he is from outside. He may know some key information." A man said with a mouthful. Moon Flute Cave Explorer, who was holding a dog's tail grass, leaned against the tree trunk and said.
This person's name was Duke Larkin. According to Duke, although Lin Yi was rated as a black flute by the guild, he came from outside the town of Os.
This made Duke not think highly of Lin Yi in his heart.
"Oh? Then where did you get this information?" While the two were chatting, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears without warning.
"Of course it's from Tan... who!" Hearing this strange voice, Duke, who was lying on the tree trunk leisurely fishing, jumped up in surprise.
A strange little shell appeared in his hand. This shell was a relic found by Duke on the third level of the abyss. It can release extremely powerful shock waves.
"Aren't you looking at me? In that case, I naturally have to come over and see who is staring at me." As the moonlight moved slowly, Lin Yi's appearance gradually emerged from the darkness.
"How is it possible, you?" Alston was shocked, and quickly looked at the telescope in his hand, only to find that Lin Yi, who was sitting in front of the table, had disappeared without knowing when.
"Since you delivered it to the door in person, don't blame us for taking action." A disdainful smile appeared on Duke's face.
In his opinion, all cave diggers who have not experienced the baptism of the Abyss Abyss are just half-baked.
Ten seconds later, the shell in Duke's hand turned into a pile of fragments and was firmly embedded in the palm of Duke's right hand. Blood slowly seeped out from the wound, which looked particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
As for Auston, a shockingly large hole appeared in his chest, which was punched out by Lin Yi's punch.
"How...how is it possible?" Lin Yi grabbed Duke by the neck and lifted him up.
To be honest, he had no idea that Lin Yi's combat effectiveness was so strong.
Just now, Duke tried to knock Lin Yi unconscious with a shell and take him back, but who could have expected that Lin Yi would smash the relic he regarded as a treasure with just one punch.
After seeing this scene, Auston instinctively wanted to run away.
Before he could run very far, he was hit in the back with a cannon punch from Lin Yi.
The powerful impact caused Alston to instantly lose his life and fall down.
"Now, let me ask you an answer. How many people have come this time?" Lin Yi's pupils were a little black under the influence of the power of the abyss. Looking from a distance, no one would think that Lin Yi was a human beings.
"I don't know, a lot of people have received the news this time, and we only came here halfway." Duke now completely lost his previous arrogance and disdain. He understood that he underestimated Lin Yi this time.
So, he obediently told all the information he knew, hoping that Lin Yi would let him go.
As for Auston, he is just a flute, and he is dead when he dies.
In Duke's opinion, he can just go to the union to recruit a few Cang Di who don't have a team when the time comes.
"Where did the news come from?"
"Bought on the black market. There are all kinds of news about Lysa now, but the news about Lysa's daughter is the most expensive, and there are photos to prove it, so we rushed here." Duke said His voice was a bit stumbling. After all, Lin Yi's palm tightly grasped Duke's throat, which made it difficult for him to speak so smoothly.
"Where are the photos?" Lin Yi asked.
"In my...right pocket." Duke's face turned red. He raised his hand and pointed tremblingly at a pocket on the right side of his clothes.
Lin Yi saw this and took out a photo from Duke's clothes.
The photo shows the scene where Rico takes over Lysa's white flute from Hubble.
Lin Yi and Reg were standing next to Li Ke. It could be seen that this photo should have been taken by someone from the Caving Guild.
Most of this information came from the Cave Explorer Guild.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"No...no more."
Hearing what Lin Yi said, Duke felt relieved, thinking that the interrogation was finally over.
The next second, Lin Yi's right hand directly pinched Duke's neck.
There was just a "click" sound, and with a little effort, Lin Yi sent Duke to see Auston.
Perhaps because Duke and Auston are both insignificant people in this world, Lin Yi did not gain any source of the world or treasure chest even if he killed these two people.
As for other places, Lin Yi didn't need to deal with them. Lin Yi noticed that Kirou was cleaning up the surveillance personnel in other places.
Not long after Lin Yi returned to the room, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"who?"
"It's me, Rico."
Sure enough, after Lin Yi opened the door, he found that Li Ke and Reg at the door were both wearing caving equipment.
Nado and Xiqi, who were following the two of them, seemed to hope that Lin Yi could persuade them. But unfortunately, Lin Yi was also traveling by car on this trip, so naturally he would not persuade Li Ke and Reg to stay.
"Brother Lin, we have to leave."
"Are you going to find your mother?" After hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Ke raised her head.
"Don't look at me like that. With the way you look now, even a fool can know what you want to do. Let's go. As a Black Flute cave explorer, I should go to the Abyss Abyss anyway, otherwise I will let you two brats go down alone. , I’m not worried.”
Lin Yi smiled and touched the heads of Li Ke and Le Ge. After hearing Lin Yi's words, Nado and Xiqi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you want to leave, leave now. After this period of time, it won't be that easy to leave."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Ke and Reg nodded, picked up their backpacks and followed Lin Yi quietly to the back door of the orphanage.
Originally, Rico planned to use wire to open the back door of the orphanage, but today she discovered that the back door of the orphanage, which had always been closed in the past, had opened a gap at some point.
Li Ke easily pushed the door open without much effort.
When leaving the orphanage, Lin Yi inadvertently noticed Kirou on the roof.
After Kiruo noticed Lin Yi's gaze, he nodded slightly and signaled to Lin Yi that Li Ke and Reg would be entrusted to him.
"You two injected this yourself."
Lin Yi took out a glass bottle from his personal space. There was a pool of transparent liquid in the glass bottle.
"What is this?" After catching the glass bottle thrown by Lin Yi, Reg picked it up and took a closer look.
"This is a special vaccine developed by the Cave Explorers Guild. It can resist most infectious diseases and severe diseases in the middle and lower levels of the Abyss Abyss. If your physiques do not have this vaccine, it will not be easy to get to the bottom of Naraku."
This vaccine was a benefit given to Lin Yi by the Cave Explorer Guild after he became Black Flute.
But Lin Yi had already been injected with a more comprehensive prevention and treatment vaccine in the reincarnation paradise, and this vaccine was just left for Li Ke and Reg.
The group of people took advantage of the darkness and moved forward quickly, and soon the building of the orphanage was left behind by several people in the distance.
Arriving at the central square of Oss Town, Lin Yi noticed that there were many staff working the night shift here.
Lin Yi asked Li Ke and Reg to take the red flute with them. At the same time, he hung the black flute around his neck and led the two of them towards the elevator in the center.
There are two ways to enter the Abyss Abyss. One is to enter the first floor of the Abyss Abyss through the cave-dwelling guild's elevator, which is located 150 meters underground.
Since the Cave Explorer Guild has cleared all dangers in this area, entering from here is undoubtedly the safest option. Another way is to sneak across, but the risk factor of this method is extremely high. No one knows whether there will be abyssal creatures waiting for food at their destination.
"Hello, sir, do you want to go down so late?" The staff of the Cave Explorer Guild immediately became more energetic after seeing the black flute around Lin Yi's neck.
"Well, two juniors want to go to the Abyss Abyss to have a look. Originally, I wanted to wait until daytime tomorrow, but these two kids are so impatient that they can't wait even one night. I have no choice, so I just Can you bring them over now to have a look?”
After hearing this, the staff turned their attention to Li Ke and Reg who were following Lin Yi.
"It's really not easy for you, sir. You have to take your children out so late." The staff member sighed while reaching out and pulling down the lever.
As the lever was pulled, the metal elevator made a creaking sound and began to rise slowly.
"There's nothing I can do about it. You know how curious children are. After showing them the scenery on the first floor of the Abyss Abyss today, things should be much better later."
The expression on Lin Yi's face was full of helplessness, as if he was really a senior taking care of children.
Seeing Lin Yi chatting with the staff, Li Ke and Reg didn't interrupt.
They just lay quietly on the railing, looking intently at the scenery of the Abyss Abyss below.
When the staff on the side saw this scene, some of their doubts were dispelled.
"The elevator is here. Please remember Chi Di and not go to the second floor. Otherwise, the guild will not be responsible if something goes wrong." The staff member reminded him seriously.
"I understand." Lin Yi took Li Ke and Reg into the elevator.
As the elevator moved down, Rico finally couldn't hold back her excitement and came to the side of the elevator guardrail, grabbing the guardrail and looking out.
Lin Yi noticed that as the people went deeper, the originally dark sky gradually became brighter, as if it suddenly entered daytime from night.
When Lin Yi took the elevator to a depth of 150 meters on the first floor of the Abyss Abyss, the surrounding light was already like dawn, and it was completely impossible to tell that the entrance of the cave was still in the middle of the night.
"Let's go. Although the guild shouldn't be able to notice anything unusual in a short period of time, I'm taking you here smuggling down after all. It's better to get out of here as soon as possible."
Li Ke nodded after hearing Lin Yi's words, and then took out a map from her backpack.
Since Lin Yi took Li Ke down through the official channel this time, Li Ke naturally knew the area where they were now.
"For us, we should be at this location now. Later, when we walk forward for about a kilometer, we can see a dead tree. There are steps under the dead tree, and we can walk from there to a depth of 600 meters. place."
Rico pointed to a coordinate on the map. After confirming the location, Rico began to lead the way.
As for Lin Yi, he tried to absorb some of the abyss power floating in the air and found that it would not affect his body.
Here, the power of the abyss has been diluted to an extreme. Except for the possible impact on some people with weaker physiques, there is basically no big change under normal circumstances.
"Wait for me here for a moment, I want to experiment with something." When Li Ke and Reg moved forward, Lin Yi suddenly stopped and said to them.
"Okay, be careful." Reg nodded after hearing this, then approached Rico and started to be on guard.
The three of them have now stepped into the interior of the Abyss Abyss. Every inch of the land here is full of danger. Naturally, Reg does not dare to relax at all.
Under the watchful eyes of Rico and Reg, Lin Yi quickly grabbed a thick vine, like a dexterous ape, and quickly climbed up.
His speed was so fast that almost in the blink of an eye, he had climbed to the height of the rising load.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Reg looked at Lin Yi's astonishing climbing speed and couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
He scratched his head, obviously a little confused by Lin Yi's behavior.
"He should be testing the effect of increasing the load on himself." Li Ke guessed what Lin Yi was thinking.
Rico's intelligence level is not low, but she usually focuses most of her energy on things related to the Abyss Abyss.
Therefore, Rico sometimes looks a little dull and silly, but at critical moments, Rico can always show extraordinary insight.
When Lin Yi climbed to a height of ten meters, he noticed that the power of the abyss in the surrounding air suddenly became violent, as if a huge rock had been thrown into the originally calm stagnant water, causing huge waves.
If we use a more vivid metaphor to describe it, this power of the abyss is like a sleeping giant beast under normal circumstances.
When the cave explorer climbs to a certain height, its reverse scales will be triggered, causing it to wake up instantly and riot inside the cave explorer's body.
Since the power of the abyss is very thin in the first layer of the abyss, its impact on the human body is still slight.
Even a child as young as Rico will only feel discomfort similar to motion sickness.
Such as dizziness, vomiting, and in some extreme cases possible incontinence of urine and feces, but these symptoms can usually be relieved with just a short rest.
As the cave explorer goes deeper into the abyss, the concentration of the power of the abyss will gradually increase, and the burden on the cave explorer will also increase.
Lin Yi originally planned to test the specific impact of the rising load on himself, but unexpectedly found that when the rioting power of the abyss tried to invade his body, he was instantly swallowed up by the original power of the abyss in his body.
After feeling the changes in his body, Lin Yi realized that the rising load of the Abyss Abyss had most likely lost its effect on him.
After confirming that the increased load had no effect on him, Lin Yi returned to Li Ke and Reg.
Li Ke and Reg took a look at Lin Yi and found that Lin Yi looked as usual and was not affected by any abyss force field at all.
"Brother Lin, are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go."
After hearing what Lin Yi said, Li Ke and Reg continued to follow Li Ke's instructions.
After about twenty minutes, a few people arrived in front of the iconic dead tree.
This dead tree is not only a natural wonder, but also a landmark in the hearts of cave explorers.
Here, the cave explorers specially built steps to provide convenience for Chidi level cave explorers like Rico.
Of course, such conveniences are not available on all levels of the abyss.
They are mainly concentrated within the first 600 meters of the first level of the Abyss Abyss.
Above this depth, the combat effectiveness of abyssal creatures is relatively weak, and cavers can still carry out activities relatively safely.
Once you go below 600 meters, the combat effectiveness of abyssal creatures will increase dramatically, and the environment there will become extremely dangerous, so there will be no such convenient step facilities.
Along the steps, Lin Yi led Li Ke and Reg down.
Lin Yi discovered that as the people continued to go deeper, the power of the abyss floating in the surrounding air was increasing, but the concentration of this increase was very small.
"Here we are, Rock Ark."
When they reached the end of the steps, Lin Yi took Li Ke to the edge of the cliff and saw a strange sight.
A stone boat was actually embedded in the hard wall. Its appearance was so sudden, as if an illogical bug had appeared in a corner of the world.
Coming here means that Rico and Reg have reached a depth that they have never been to before.
The rock ark is a landmark at a depth of 600 meters in the Abyss Abyss.
From here up, it is the range of activities of Rico and a group of red flutes.
But going down from here is the real Abyss Abyss.
Lin Yi took Rico and Reg to the bow of the Rock Ark. Here, Lin Yi saw a ray of light projecting through the clouds in the sky into the Abyss Abyss.
In the sky, groups of corpse-weeping birds were looking for food in the sky. They seemed to have noticed Lin Yi and the others, and several corpse-weeping birds were ready to pounce down to look for food.
Reg was originally ready to take action, but Lin Yi moved faster than him, and saw the black and white rose emerge from Lin Yi's hand.
Several jet-black sword energy flew out from the black and white roses, accurately piercing the corpse-weeping bird's body. (End of chapter)
