"Did...I do this?" Reg's eyes widened, looking at the shocking scene he had created in front of him, and he looked at his arm in disbelief.
His eyes were full of shock and confusion. It was really hard to imagine that such a powerful attack was actually launched from his own hands.
"As expected of Naraku's treasure, this kind of attack power is truly terrifying."
Lin Yi got close to the place where Reg's [Cardinal's Light] attacked and started to check. Judging from the attack method of Reg's [Cardinal's Light] just now, Su Xiao's Apollo was in front of Reg's [Cardinal's Light]. Gotta give in.
Apollo is a large-scale land-washing weapon.
Reg's [Cardinal's Light] focused its energy into the small area in front of him through his palms.
Although the energy erupted by both sides may be the same to some extent, the lethality of Reg's [Cardinal Light] is definitely more powerful, there is no doubt about this.
Just when Rico asked excitedly how Reg did the attack just now, Reg's eyes suddenly blurred, and the sounds in his ears began to disappear, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
The next second, Reg felt a sudden spin, and his body went limp and fell directly into Rico's arms.
"Reg?! Reg! Are you okay?" Rico hugged Reg's body tightly, the expression on her face was full of panic.
Lin Yi had expected it, and jumped to Li Ke's side with a slight jump.
"It's okay. Reg consumed too much energy at once. His body should have entered sleep mode now. It will be fine when he recovers."
"Sleep mode?" Li Ke obviously didn't understand what Lin Yi meant by sleep mode.
"To put it simply, Reg needs to take a short nap and it will be fine when he wakes up." Lin Yi explained patiently.
Hearing this, Rico nodded, and then hurriedly took out a blanket from her backpack.
She gently spread the blanket under Reg, hoping that this would make Reg sleep more comfortable.
In his sleep, Reg fell into a terrible nightmare.
He dreamed that Rico had turned into the corpse that had just been swallowed by the corpse-weeping bird, and Reg himself fell to the ground. No matter how he struggled, his body seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, and he could not move no matter what.
Reg watched Rico covered in blood. She slowly turned her head and looked at him.
Her eyes were extremely empty, like an endless abyss, and looked very terrifying.
That look was not human at all, and it filled Reg with an unspeakable fear.
Immediately, the ground began to shake violently.
A huge beam of light appeared directly from under Rico, swallowing up Rico and the corpse-weeping bird together.
Seeing this scene, Reg opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and he gasped for air.
"Are you having a nightmare? Drink some water to calm down." Lin Yi said as he took out a bottle of mineral water and threw it to Reg.
At this time, Reg didn't have the intention to care about where Lin Yi took out this thing. He hurriedly reached out to catch the mineral water bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth.
The cool water flowed down his throat. It was not until he drank half the bottle of water that Reg finally felt that his panicked heart gradually calmed down and his panic was suppressed.
"I just"
Reg looked at his palms and felt that the scene just now was like a dream.
"It's time to go. Don't be so reckless again. Remember, in the abyss, anything can happen. If you don't know what to do, you can ask Rico for her opinion." To Lin Yi's words, Reg replied in a low voice, "I understand."
All we can say is that the Abyss Abyss is still the Abyss Abyss.
After arriving on the second floor, Abyss took the lead in giving Rico and Reg a start.
Now both of them have put away their inner arrogance and shown the qualities that a cave explorer should have.
Without Lin Yi having to say anything along the way, Reg took the initiative to take on the important task of detecting intelligence for the three of them.
Rico relied on her rich experience to identify the surrounding landmarks to ensure that the three of them were heading in the right direction.
Thanks to the efforts of the two of them, Lin Yi was the most relaxed one for a while.
Continuously descending along the rock wall, the three finally successfully reached the bottom of the second floor of the abyss [The Upside Down Forest].
Here, everything is turned upside down, presenting a wonderful landscape beyond imagination.
The trees here are extremely unique, with their trunks growing downward, like inverted giants, stretching their bodies tenaciously.
Their roots are firmly rooted in the soil above.
In mid-air, Lin Yi even saw the waterfall flying continuously into the sky. The water flow was like a silver ribbon, dancing in the wind, forming a shocking picture.
As for the reason for this situation, it is all due to the strong wind blowing from the third layer of the abyss [Great Break].
The wind was so strong that it roared in, blowing the waterfall and causing the water to flow upstream, creating this spectacular scene.
"Is this the [Inverted Forest]?"
Li Ke hid behind Reg and Lin Yi and held on to her clothes.
The wind here is so strong that Rico feels a little cold.
Even though the cave suit on Li Ke has the function of keeping warm, it is just an ordinary piece of clothing after all, and it is completely incomparable to the nano-scale disaster protective suit (type X) worn by Lin Yi.
"Put on this thick cloak."
Lin Yi took out two thick plush cloaks from his personal space. After Li Ke and Reg put on the cloaks, they immediately felt much warmer.
Reg came to a tree and prepared to move towards the forward base in the usual way.
What Reg didn't expect was that the air current in the air was too strong.
As soon as Legg's arm was launched, the hook rope was ruthlessly blown away by the air flow from the big break in mid-air, making it impossible to grasp the tree trunk in the distance and pass smoothly.
"Okay, just follow the normal path here, otherwise it will be no joke if you fall."
Lin Yi pointed below. When Reg and Li Ke came here, they immediately felt a strong wind blowing violently from below.
The strong wind roared like an angry dragon, seeming to drag everything into the endless abyss.
Rico tried her best to open her eyes and finally noticed that below the few people was the entrance to the third layer of the abyss.
Once you fall from here, you will definitely end up with no bones left.
So the three of them left the Upside Down Forest and started heading towards the surveillance base from the outside of the Upside Down Forest.
As she walked, Rico's body began to shake. At this time, Reg discovered that Rico's legs and feet had swollen at some point.
Reg calculated and found that if the calculation was started from the road that the few people had just left, Rico's ascent height would have exceeded 10 meters.
But Li Ke kept holding back and didn't say anything, so neither Reg nor Lin Yi noticed.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Lin, Li Ke has triggered the rising curse again." Reg said anxiously.
After hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly came to Li Ke, and sure enough he saw Li Ke's calf, which was swollen like a pig's trotter.
He gently opened his trouser legs and saw that Li's ankles had turned purple. The shocking color made people worried.
"Sorry, I thought I could survive it." Rico's eyes were a little blurry, and now Rico's vision was a bit blurry.
"It's okay, close your eyes." Lin Yi said softly, placing his palm on Li Ke's forehead.
Rico closed her eyes obediently. As the light of the purification technique lit up, Rico felt that her chaotic brain suddenly became much clearer.
At this time, Rico felt a sharp pain in her leg.
Because her head was too chaotic before, Rico also had abnormal pain perception.
Now that her brain had returned to normal, severe pain immediately appeared in Rico's body.
When Lin Yi saw Li Ke's grinning look, he knew that Li Ke had returned to normal, and then used healing techniques to dispel Li Ke's illness.
[Successfully cured Rico, the talent "Redeemer's activation" permanently increases health by 30 points, power of the abyss by 15 points, soul strength by 1, current health points are 11622 points, power of the abyss is 10680 points, and soul strength is 62 points. 】
"Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore." Rico suddenly felt that her calf was back to normal. When Rico looked at it again, her calf, which was originally swollen like a pig's trotter, was now back to normal.
"If there is any problem in the future, please remember to report it as soon as possible, you know?"
Lin Yi was relieved after seeing that Li Ke was fine. We were only on the second floor now, and it was still far away from the sixth floor of the abyss. Lin Yi didn't want anything to happen to Li Ke now.
"Well, I understand." Li Ke nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "But Brother Lin, are you really not affected by the rising load? Reg is a robot. It makes sense that you won’t be affected by it, but why aren’t you affected, Brother Lin?”
Hearing Li Ke's question, Reg immediately turned his eyes to Lin Yi curiously. Reg had been wanting to ask this question just now. After all, Lin Yi showed no signs of being affected by the abyss force field along the way.
Because of this, Reg mistakenly thought that Rico had no problem either.
"My situation is indeed a bit special." Lin Yi said after thinking for a while, "You can think of me as a native creature of the Abyss Abyss. The abyss force field here does not have much effect on me. "
"Okay, we'll be at the surveillance base soon, let's go."
"Yeah." Li Ke didn't continue to ask too much. After hearing Lin Yi's words, she trotted up behind Lin Yi and carefully grabbed the corner of Lin Yi's clothes before moving forward.
Reg glanced at Lin Yi curiously, and his intuition told him that Lin Yi was definitely not a creature from the Abyss Abyss.
The second floor of the abyss, the [Inverted Forest] surveillance base.
Ma Luluku was sitting in front of a huge telescope looking at the environment around the surveillance base.
Although Orson's surveillance base is located on the edge of the Upside Down Forest, this does not mean that this edge area is an absolutely safe area.
Many abyssal creatures that cannot survive in the central area will come here to look for opportunities to survive.
Ma Lulu's mission is to sit here and monitor the surrounding situation at all times to prevent abyssal creatures from approaching the threatening surveillance base.
At the same time, once he finds a cave explorer approaching, he has to open the elevator for him in time.
"Master, three strangers are here."
After Ma Luluku saw Lin Yi and Li Ke through the telescope, a strange look appeared on his face.
In the Abyss Abyss, Maluluku had never seen a child as old as himself.
"stranger."
After hearing this, Orson raised his eyelids and sat up from his seat, came to the telescope and looked in the direction of Lin Yi.
As if sensing someone was staring at him, Lin Yi reflexively looked up at the direction of the telescope.
At this moment, Orson and Lin Yi looked at each other through the lenses of the telescope.
After seeing Lin Yi's eyes, Orson immediately understood that the other party had noticed that he was monitoring them.
Especially Li Ke who was following behind Lin Yi. Orson recognized Li Ke's identity the first time he saw her.
Rico's iconic blond hair and crystal glasses, Orson would recognize her even if she turned to gray.
"Master Master, what are you going to do?"
Ma Luluku asked a little confused when he saw Orson leaving the surveillance room directly.
But Orson did not answer Ma Luluku's question, and now the aura on Orson's body was very strange.
A little cruel, a little nostalgic, and a little pity, this was the first time Ma Luluku saw Orson showing such complicated emotions.
"Just now, someone was watching us."
Lin Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the direction of the surveillance base.
"Is it an enemy?" Reg immediately showed a vigilant attitude. He did not sense the gaze that Lin Yi was talking about, but he was convinced that Lin Yi would not joke about such a thing.
"I don't know. I didn't feel any hostility from it. Maybe the people monitoring the base noticed our arrival, but it's best not to be careless."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Li Ke and Reg nodded.
Rico knew her position very well. She did not have strong fighting ability, so she obediently walked to the middle of the team.
Once Rico is attacked, anyone can rescue her in time to ensure Rico's safety.
The surveillance base was located above Lin Yi's head, and the three of them moved along the path they made.
I don’t know if Orson had any evil intentions, but the road he created actually has no guardrails, and you can see the clouds passing below through your hands.
If someone with a fear of heights saw this, they would probably be so scared that they would collapse to the ground.
"Hmm." After climbing for a while, Rico suddenly felt something strange in her body.
She found that she had symptoms of increased load again, but the reaction here was much milder than in other places.
Rico just felt a little dizzy and her calves were a little swollen.
She bit her lip, suppressed her physical discomfort, and continued to follow Lin Yi and Reg closely.
"The surveillance base is located on the edge of the second floor. The abyss force field here is much smaller than in the center. If you can't hold it in any longer, just say it." Lin Yi glanced at Li Ke, but did not help Li Ke dispel the negative state.
In his opinion, bearing more of the rising load can help Rico adapt to this state quickly.
However, this can only be done in shallow layers. Once it goes below the fifth floor, the rising load will be beyond what Li can bear.
"Yes, I understand." Rico responded softly. She held Reg's shoulders with a look of pain on her face.
She now felt a gradual loss of feeling in her legs, a very typical symptom of ascending load in Level 2 - quadriplegia.
The three of them arrived at the gate of the surveillance base step by step with difficulty. Lin Yi took a look at the surveillance base and found that the area where the surveillance base was located was huge. Almost all the trees in the surrounding area were linked to Orson. Together.
Those thick branches are intertwined to form a small activity area.
"Hello, is anyone there?"
After standing still, Rico shouted towards the surveillance base. If Rico remembered correctly, the surveillance base should be manned.
Normally, as long as someone approaches, the people in the surveillance base will lower the elevator cage above their heads.
However, Lin Yi and the others have been standing here for almost two minutes, but there is still no response from the surveillance base above.
"Reg, can you reach that way?"
Rico pointed at the elevator overhead. Reg made a visual inspection and found that the height was about 20 meters, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
So Reg aimed his arm at the elevator, and then launched it. He was going to go over and lower the elevator for the two of them first.
"well?"
Just when Reg's arm appeared on the elevator, Reg suddenly felt someone grabbing his arm.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone... grabbed my arm." There was a hint of nervousness in Reg's voice.
He tried pulling again, but found that he couldn't pull his arm at all.
"I see, did you get here thanks to this brat?"
Above the surveillance base, Orson was holding Reg's arms tightly, staring down at the three people below.
Reg's arm is currently struggling in Orson's hand, but compared to Orson's amazing strength, Reg's strength is really not enough.
Then, Orson threw Reg's arm out and pulled down the mechanism on the side.
The next second, the elevator cage began to creak, and more than ten seconds later, the elevator appeared in front of the three people.
"Let's go."
Lin Yi felt Orson's gaze and walked into the elevator cage.
Seeing this scene, Li Ke and Reg followed Lin Yi into the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Lin Yi pressed the up button in the middle of the cage.
The birdcage-shaped elevator took Lin Yi and the others up slowly. Although the elevator's ascending speed was not very fast, the height still exceeded ten meters.
As the elevator rose, Rico's body reaction suddenly became stronger.
She turned pale, hurriedly came to the birdcage, grabbed the railing tightly, and then vomited profusely.
Lin Yi now somewhat understood why the elevator was set up like this.
Apparently, it was just to facilitate the vomiting of cave explorers who experienced increased load.
"Riko."
"It's okay, I'll just take a break later."
Rico wiped the dirt from the corner of her mouth. After several times of rising load, Rico gradually adapted to the rising load on the second floor. At least it was much stronger than at the beginning. (End of chapter)
