Entering the mine, Jiang Yi followed the sound and walked deeper.
This mine had been abandoned for many years. The tunnel that was supposed to go straight down had already collapsed, forming a slope of about 40 degrees.
Jiang Yi followed the collapsed rubble and went deeper.
As he walked forward, Jiang Yi could hear the roars of some desolate beasts from time to time. It was likely that some people had encountered them in the depths, and the two sides must have fought.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi quickened his pace.
He had been in contact with Xiao Jinwei for many years, and Old Xiao had often helped him in the past few years. And Old Xiao might have encountered a crisis in the depths of the tunnel this time. Logically, Jiang Yi had to go over and help her.
He continued to move down for about a hundred meters. There was no longer any light in the tunnel, only a small grass on the stone wall that was emitting a weak light.
Jiang Yi didn't recognize this kind of plant, so he didn't bother with it.
After turning a corner, he finally saw Old Xiao and the others.
At this time, Xiao Jinwei was staying with the three elite students of the school. Jiang Yi looked over and saw that they were all injured and were still retreating.
It was obvious that there was something dangerous in the depths of the mine.
Coming behind them, Jiang Yi said softly, "What's going on, Old Xiao?"
"Who!"
Xiao Jinwei and the rest were shocked. When they saw that it was Jiang Yi, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jinwei waved her hand, "It's nothing. Just now, we encountered two E-class giant worms. Because it's too dark here, we were at a disadvantage at the beginning. Now, it's settled."
"Awesome."
Jiang Yi could not help but exclaim.
According to the division of the human side, desolate beasts and warriors' levels corresponded one by one. However, before the A-class desolate beasts, their strength was usually a little higher than human warriors because most of them had their own territories.
Moreover, they lived in the wilderness all year round. Whether it was their battle instincts or their familiarity with the surrounding environment, they were higher than human warriors.
Moreover, different desolate beasts had different special abilities. The worms that Xiao Jinwei mentioned could spew out some kind of strong acidic liquid from their mouths. Human warriors of the same level would easily be corroded.
As expected of the most elite students of the Qingcheng Elementary School, not only had they killed two E-class worms, but they had not suffered any substantial losses.
After resting on the spot for a while, Xiao Jinwei suddenly said to Jiang Yi, "Old Jiang, do you want to follow me to explore the depths? I feel that there are other things here. When we were killing the worms just now, they seemed to be guarding something. Only two of them chased after us."
Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback, "Are you saying that there are other worms here, and they are not wild desolate beasts but are specially nurtured by someone?"
Xiao Jinwei nodded and looked at her three companions. "Everyone, are you interested in coming together? There must be other secrets hidden here!"
The three classmates shook their heads with a bitter smile.
The worms they encountered just now were not just two, but a whole group!
Although they did not know why the other party did not all chase after them, the three of them were not like Xiao Jinwei who liked to take risks. At this moment, they just wanted to recuperate and leave this place.
Seeing that the three of them weren't willing, Xiao Jinwei didn't force them. Instead, she grabbed Jiang Yi.
"Old Jiang, come with me!"
Before Jiang Yi could refute, he was pulled away by Xiao Jinwei.
Jiang Yi's face was full of confusion.
No... He f*cking didn't agree!
But he couldn't refuse, so he could only follow Xiao Jinwei deep into the mine.
The two of them moved carefully. After about 200 meters, Jiang Yi heard a muffled roar from deep inside.
It was a warning from the worms.
Xiao Jinwei said in a low voice, "Be careful. That group of worms is right in front."
Jiang Yi said helplessly, "Old Xiao, I don't even know what's going on. At least tell me before you come in."
Xiao Jinwei didn't care at all. She explained as she walked forward softly, "There are about ten worms in that group. They are about the same size as pythons, and their strength is about E class."
"???"
Jiang Yi was stunned.
What the hell?
A worm the size of a python, was she not joking with him?
However, Jiang Yi didn't have the time to retort because as the two of them went deeper, those worms had already discovered the intruders!
They sensed that Xiao Jinwei and Jiang Yi were still getting closer, and they seemed to be very angry. In the next moment, this group of worms came out in full force and charged at Jiang Yi and Xiao Jinwei!
"Roar!"
A roar was heard, and the worms swarmed over like a tide.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Yi saw the specific appearance of the worms.
These worms were all blue and white in color, but their fat bodies were very flexible. Their long and narrow mouths were emitting hoarse growls.
Moreover, Jiang Yi suddenly realized that there were more than ten worms in this group. In the darkness, their numbers were even difficult to estimate.
"F*ck!"
With a cry of surprise, Jiang Yi ran away!
Xiao Jinwei also turned around and ran wildly. Jiang Yi shouted, "Old Xiao! Didn't you say there were only ten?!"
Xiao Jinwei turned around and saw a huge number of worms behind her. In the dark mine, huge bodies appeared one after another, and one could not see the end of them.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinwei said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, run quickly! The first time they chased us, there were really only about ten!"
Jiang Yi was too lazy to ask anymore.
Now was not the time to dwell on this problem.
The speed of the worms behind them was not slow. Even if the two of them ran at full speed, they could barely keep a distance from them.
Just like that, the pursuit continued for two minutes.
Running at full speed, Xiao Jinwei and Jiang Yi were already out of breath.
What was even more tragic was that this abandoned mining area was full of tunnels. The two of them had been chased so far and had made countless turns. They had long lost their original direction.
Seeing that the swarm of worms behind them was still biting on tightly, Jiang Yi pushed Xiao Jinwei to a small hole on the side while he himself jumped into it.
From the outside, this hole was more than three meters high, but it was only about one meter wide. The worms behind it were huge, so they could not enter.
Jiang Yi originally wanted to go in and hide for a while, but when the two of them went in, they found a huge secret room hidden in the hole!
"This is..."
The moment they entered, Jiang Yi and Xiao Jinwei were shocked by what they saw.
In the huge secret chamber, there were all kinds of precision instruments in all directions. There was a thick layer of dust on them, and in front of the instruments, there were a few huge chairs!
Above the secret chamber, Jiang Yi found the legendary meteorite!
However, that meteorite just happened to cover the top of the secret chamber, as if it had deliberately buried the secret chamber underground!
This situation made Jiang Yi and Xiao Jinwei very surprised.
Right below the meteorite crater, there was actually a secret chamber that had a full sense of technology!
Who exactly did this?
