Chapter 4669: Solving the Trouble

The two continued to go deeper and soon reached the end.

There was a pitch-black area ahead. Lin Yi walked in front with a dagger in his hand, and Ning Che held a gun. Both of them were extremely cautious, fearing that something would suddenly jump out.

Step by step, the two of them walked over quietly.

But just as he was about to step into the mysterious space ahead, a rustling sound suddenly came.

Without giving the two a chance to react, a large black object jumped out from inside. Even though Lin Yi had amazing eyesight and extremely fast reactions, he was unable to deal with this emergency at this time.

Lin Yi turned around, pressed Ning Che to the ground, and protected her with his body!

It was at this moment that Ning Che saw the pitch-black thing. It was a group of black insects that covered the sky and blocked out the sun. When he shone a flashlight over there, it looked like a layer of pitch-black cloud.

This reminded Ning Che of the black-toothed worm, but it seemed a little different.

But being held by Lin Yi like this, the warmth in Ning Che's heart reached an indescribable level.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Ning Che noticed one thing. Those black insects only stayed around him and did not fly up the stairs. They all gathered in this small area.

"Let's go! Let's go up!"

Ning Che pulled Lin Yi and the two ran towards the stairs. After running about ten meters, they broke away from the black insects and isolated them one meter away.

The two of them panted and saw the black swarm of insects, and quickly flew back to the dark space ahead.

Lin Yi was very fast and rushed straight forward.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Yi did not respond. He caught a bug and retreated back to Ning Che.

The bug is gray-black in color, has six legs, and has brown teeth.

"It looks a bit like a black-toothed worm, but not as big as a black-toothed worm." Ning Che said.

"And the teeth are relatively short." Lin Yi pinched the black bug, "It seems very fragile. It will die if you pinch it lightly."

"Maybe it's because there's no light here for so long." Ning Che said.

"It's possible." Lin Yi said:

"The black-toothed worms on Mount Ailao don't see the sun, but at least they can breathe fresh air. There is a fundamental difference in the environment."

Ning Che thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"But you see these insects, they fly a certain distance and then stop moving forward, which is very strange."

"It's not surprising, actually. This just proves our previous speculation."

Lin Yi said:

"Didn't we say before that there was Bass ore in here? This statement should be confirmed."

"You mean, they are used to the high oxygen environment. After they fly out, the oxygen concentration becomes different. They can't adapt, so they stop moving forward, right?"

"That's what I mean, but this is not good news for us." Lin Yi said with a worried look:

"The oxygen content inside is very high, and it is very likely that other species live there."

"I think even if it's too strong, it's unlikely that creatures like giant octopuses and centipedes will appear."

Lin Yi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

No matter how high the oxygen content is, there is a limit.

"We'll turn on the lights on our bodies later. Living in this environment all year round, they must be afraid of light. This can help us delay for a while."

Ning Che nodded and took out the food.

"Let's eat something first, and then we can go in and take a look."

Lin Yi took the food, and the two of them ate while looking straight ahead.

It's pitch black there, representing mystery and the unknown, which is enough to make people feel scared even if they have been through many battles.

After more than ten minutes, both of them adjusted their states and didn't want to waste any more time.

After getting up, the two of them were still like before, Lin Yi holding a knife in his hand and Ning Che holding a gun, and they walked in slowly, one in front and one behind.

Just at this moment, black bugs flew towards them. The two men turned on the strong lights on their bodies, and the black bugs were immediately driven away and dared not approach them again.

The two also took the opportunity to see the whole picture inside.

The structure here is similar to that of the upper floor, and it is polished to be extremely smooth, but the things inside are very different from those above.

There were many well-preserved utensils inside, and there were also many weathered bones on the ground. All the characteristics were consistent with their previous impressions.

But those black swarms of insects hindered the two men's actions.

The two of them used strong light, which did have a good effect, but this method was only temporary.

If we don't solve the current trouble, there will be no chance to explore here.

The two of them kept thinking about how to solve the problem, but several minutes passed without any idea.

Just when Ning Che was about to leave, Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

In the corner, he saw a piece of ore that was the size of a basketball and irregular in shape.

"Look there!"

Ning Che took a look and recognized it at a glance. It was Bass Ore.

The two of them were in perfect sync and knew what to do next without saying much.

"There is a stone trough over there. We can put the stone trough on the Bass ore to isolate the oxygen." Ning Che said.

"go!"

The two men quickened their pace, moved the stone trough not far away, and placed it on the Bass ore.

At first, there was no change in the group of black insects, but after more than ten minutes, their flight paths became different and disorganized. Even under the influence of strong light, they fled into the range of light.

"Let's go, let's retreat and let them fend for themselves."

The two retreated and put on breathing equipment just in case.

Just like that, a few hours passed and the two of them walked in tentatively.

When I first arrived at the door, I didn't see any insects flying out. There was no doubt that the plan was successful.

The two of them took flashlights and shone them inside.

Seeing those insects struggling on the ground, they were unable to move and wanted to fly again.

The time was ripe, and the two of them began to explore carefully inside.

Compared with the above, the area here is twice as large, and the things stored are more sophisticated.

Ning Che took the recorder and carefully recorded everything inside.

"Based on past experience, there is a high possibility that there is a secret room here, which is their laboratory."

Lin Yi nodded and agreed with this statement.

He looked around nervously, turned on a searchlight, placed it in the middle, and the entire space was illuminated.
