Chapter 10 The Lake of Consciousness and Blood
Chen Pingping never believed in luck.
He felt that there was always a reason whether it was good luck or bad luck.
Just like now.
The nearest monster nest to Jiangnan Base City is code-named "Dark". It is located in the southeast of Jiangnan Base City, about 300 kilometers. This is the reason why monsters are attacked by the east and south of the city are high.
But even so, according to this distance, even if there are not many high-grade monsters in the west and north of the city, first- and second-grade monsters should still be very common, and the number should be quite large.
In fact, monsters of first and second grades do not distinguish between regions and should be everywhere. Even if a warrior goes out to hunt, it is impossible to clear the monsters to this extent.
There are really fewer people and even fewer monsters, and there are almost no monsters to see!
Combined with the monster siege not long after, Chen Pingping felt that there might be a big problem here.
Continue to go deeper.
After walking about twenty kilometers, Chen Pingping saw a tall building in the distance.
Of course, it is a tall building from the peaceful era. It was originally located in the ancient city of Nanjing. It has long been abandoned at this moment. There are no roads or streets everywhere. It is covered with vegetation, and there are even many towering trees, which are taller than the tall buildings.
It has to be said that the evaporated substances in the sea of blood are really magical. They not only nurture monsters, promote human degeneration, and integrate into the earth's ecosystem, various animals and plants on the earth have also been affected. Various strange mutant creatures appear frequently, towering trees are common, and even primitive jungles that were only found in Southeast Asia in the past have gradually appeared in inland areas.
Of course, the ancient Nanjing city was originally a bustling metropolis, and the water source was not that rich, so there was no primitive jungle landform, and it was more like an abandoned city embedded in the forest.
Compared to the terrifying defense that the monster cannot penetrate bullets, although the mutant creature looks ferocious, its combat power is not strong. Not to mention warriors, even ordinary people today can deal with it by practicing some ancient martial arts.
Chen Pingping went deeper along the way, but he did not encounter monsters, but encountered many mutant creatures, including giant pythons with heads and feet, tigers with sharp teeth, and mutant pet dogs with calf sizes.
For these mutant creatures, he didn't need to use internal strength at all. With the alloy knife slashed, there was no enemy of one unit. Except for the mutant pet dog, which was still gentle and not aggressive, the heads were cut off.
The ancient martial arts "Mad Sword" is his famous skill, known for his speed. At its peak, it can even reach a hundred swords per second with internal strength. At this moment, even without internal strength, it can reach a level of five to eight swords per second. It is naturally easy and pleasant to deal with a mere mutant creature!
However, Chen Pingping's expression became more and more serious.
He felt something was very wrong!
Without warriors or monsters, have you traveled to other alien spaces?
What a hell!
Unfortunately, no one can answer his doubts at this moment, so he can only continue to move forward.
Anyway, the monster siege in the city two months later started from the west direction. If you walk west, you will definitely find clues.
Speaking of which, all these things are wrong, it is actually a good thing. If everything is as normal, for him, who is aiming to investigate this time, he will be blind.
With this idea, Chen Pingping calmed down, adjusted his mindset, and continued to walk towards the ancient Nanjing city.
Ten minutes passed.
Suddenly some noise came from the front, and Chen Pingping looked at the sound and looked happy.
Finally discovered the same kind!
Those were two warriors running quickly in the direction he was in. Judging from their weapons and equipment and running speed, they could not reach the second level at most.
After quickly judging the strength of these two people, Chen Pingping breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he is only in the first realm and has just entered the first realm, he is still confident that he can easily kill two second realm warriors based on his practical experience in the past few decades and several ancient martial arts that have penetrated his bones. Therefore, he is not worried about his safety.
However, when he was about to step forward to stop the two of them, a ferocious monster with three people standing behind him quickly attacked, with one claw and one through his chest, and poked the two people to death!
Clawed giant lizard, third-grade monster!
With his rich experience, Chen Pingping recognized the type of this monster at the first time, and immediately changed his face. He ignored everything else and quickly retreated.
Although ancient martial arts are powerful, they need internal strength to drive them.
If he reaches the second level and the number of internal strength is too high, he may even dare to go over the second level to fight against the fourth level monster. However, if he only reaches the first level and only eight strands of internal strength, he can only go over the first level to fight against the second level. When encountering the third level monster, it is better to go!
He didn't even dare to go forward to fight, because these eight strands of internal energy were kept for driving body skills and used to run away in time at critical moments, and could not be wasted on fighting overlevel battles.
Otherwise, even if you really win, if you wait for the time to recover from internal strength, you will not be able to escape!
He was very clear. This time he came out to investigate was a life-saving thing, not a life-saving thing.
"Hey, didn't chase after me?" After running for a while, Chen Pingping was a little confused.
He could be sure that the sharp-clawed giant lizard saw him and even looked at him.
This is strange.
Monsters below elite monsters are all without wisdom. As long as you see the target, no matter how big the gap in strength is, they will attack without any brainstorm. Unexpectedly, they retreated back abnormally this time.
"This is interesting..."
"Unless, that thing appears in this ancient Nanjing city..."
Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Pingping's heart suddenly sank.
"Not...that thing is available now?"
Thinking of this, Chen Pingping regretted his traumatic avoidance in his previous life and did not continue to pay attention to the follow-up situation of the monster siege in Jiangnan Base City.
Yes, after his parents passed away in his previous life, he felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he thought of Jiangnan Base City, so he subconsciously avoided all the news about Jiangnan Base City.
Now it seems that if it were really as expected, maybe the answer would have been there in his previous life, but he hadn't paid attention to it.
"The Blood Lake of Consciousness... So it was found so early?" Chen Pingping murmured to himself, the expression on his face was mixed.
Generally speaking, monsters below elite monsters have no wisdom, only endless killing consciousness, but in one case, these monsters are wise.
To be precise, it is not that monsters are wise, but that they are controlled by some will.
This is the blood lake of consciousness, a strange life that cannot be found, and will appear in any corner of the earth from time to time.
In fact, later generations have great controversy over whether the blood lake of consciousness can be counted as life.
One party believes that it does not have any elements that life should have. In addition to issuing some instructions to monsters, it is a blood lake gathered by blood rain, without a trace of life characteristics. Even if someone jumps into the blood lake, he will not be harmed.
Since the blood rain has become a sea of blood, it has been normal and there is no special one.
Interestingly, in order to explore the secret of the Blood Lake of Consciousness, the Federation even specially built a large artificial lake. When the blood rain gathered in, they wanted to artificially create the Blood Lake of Consciousness, but they always ended in failure. They tried hundreds or thousands of times, but no even a Blood Lake of Consciousness appeared.
Therefore, the blood lake of consciousness is like the sea of blood, and it has been a mystery until Chen Pingping travels back.
