The next day.
Maggie hasn't come back yet.
Connie found Chen Lun and said that all the chores at the manor had been sorted out and they could leave at any time.
"Well done, Connie."
Chen Lun praised her.
"You have managed the manor's affairs in perfect order these days. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing, Mr. Jack."
Connie was a little embarrassed and smiled.
After she left, Chen Lun sat on the sofa and thought for a while.
"Now that all the finishing touches are ready, it's time to leave. As for Maggie, write a letter to Akbin and tell him the new address of the team and ask him to send Maggie back..."
He opened his hand and green vines appeared, forming a book.
"Let's get the last piece of extraordinary knowledge today. Strength is the most important thing."
The pages of the book turned, a white light appeared, and Chen Lun entered the fairyland.
When he appeared again, he was already in an underground mine in the Haze Plains, inside a wooden house.
He pushed open the small door of the wooden house and walked out slowly.
This wooden house is located deep in the mining area. The surrounding mineral veins are relatively scarce and the environment is darker.
Chen Lun had a feeling that he was approaching the end of the entire mine.
He took out his storm lantern, lit it, and held it in one hand for illumination, while in the other he held his silver cane in case of any emergency.
The corridor became narrower and narrower, and the mining hammering sounds that could be faintly heard at first gradually became fainter and finally disappeared.
After winding forward for a distance again.
Chen Lun suddenly saw a glimmer of light in front of him, as if he had reached the end of the corridor.
He quickened his pace and headed towards the light.
Chen Lun's vision suddenly became broad, and a magnificent scene came into view, which made him look surprised.
It turned out that at the end of the corridor was a steep cliff.
At the far end of the field of vision , you can vaguely see a vertical rock wall that fills the entire visual field. It is dark brown in color, and there is no edge in any direction, up, down, left, or right.
Chen Lun was far away from the "land" on the other side, with a deep abyss of unknown kilometers in between. The sky was covered with a hazy light that could not penetrate the mist floating in the air.
He stuck his head out and looked up. The ground should be dozens or hundreds of meters away. He turned his head and looked down. There was nothing to see the bottom except fog.
"What is this place... Across the canyon, is there a new map on the other side? According to the information about the cabin that Maggie told me, the last piece of extraordinary knowledge should be hidden down there."
Chen Lun guessed secretly.
He tried to pick out a piece of rock from the wall with his fingers and threw it into the "abyss" below.
I saw the rocks falling straight down and disappearing into the mist, and there was no sound anymore.
Trying to identify altitude by sound is totally impossible.
Chen Lun thought about it, put away the kerosene lamp, then conjured up colorful scaly wings from behind and jumped directly off the cliff.
"In that case, let's fly down and see what exactly this place is... This should still be considered as the Haze Plains, just at the border."
With his scaly wings vibrating at a high frequency, Chen Lun flew nimbly, passing through the mist and heading towards the bottom of the canyon.
The air around was a little chilly, and Chen Lun's face was solemn as he gradually saw the scene below clearly.
It was a flowing bright red river, and the pungent smell of blood was overwhelming.
"River of blood...?"
Chen Lun was very surprised.
The long river of blood seemed to never stop, flowing from an invisible source and heading to the other side.
On both sides of the Blood River, there is a muddy riverbed nearly 100 meters wide, covered with fine sand, and there are some incomplete statues with half a head or half a body exposed.
Chen Lun endured the discomfort and landed on the river bank.
He looked down and his pupils shrank slightly.
It turned out that what I had previously mistaken for fine sand on the river beach was actually blood-stained fingernails and fine teeth.
This endless river of blood, coupled with the riverbed made up of fingernails and teeth, gives people an extremely shocking and terrifying feeling.
Chen Lun frowned and simply chose to explore along the direction of the blood river.
When you step on the "river beach" with leather shoes, you can always hear the friction sound and feel a strange touch.
When passing by the half-buried statues, Chen Lun stopped for a moment and took a look.
He found that most of these statues were human-shaped, including men, women, old and young, but their appearances and postures were somewhat strange.
There were men in long robes, scratching their backs with their hands behind their backs, bending their waists, and there were women with no clothes on, kneeling and laughing.
There are children sitting on the heads of old people, digging out their eyes and tasting them with laughter. There are also some statues that look like gods or angels, which are solemn but also a little seductive.
Chen Lun found a statue of Lady Rose. Except for the blurred face, the rest of the parts were still intact. However, he didn't know why it was abandoned here.
He lowered his head and walked away quickly like a passerby.
Chen Lun always maintains a cautious attitude towards anything related to gods.
"This is probably the border between the Haze Plains and the new map. Where does the Blood River lead to?"
I don’t know how long we walked.
Chen Lun finally saw the wooden house.
It is located on the river beach below the cliff, facing the Blood River.
But next to the wooden house, there is a giant flower bud the size of a bungalow. It is a gorgeous red in color, and its roots are constantly wriggling like living blood vessels.
Chen Lun guessed that this flower should be the elite monster near the wooden house.
He used the Life-Seeing Technique to investigate it.
[You discovered the "corpse blanket" of polluted plants! ]
"This plant... has strength and endurance attributes exceeding 100, which is beyond the ordinary Sequence 6. It will probably be difficult to deal with."
Chen Lun thought for a moment.
Crash!
The giant flower bud seemed to detect the arrival of living creatures through some unknown means and slowly bloomed.
More than a dozen "petals" spread out at the same time, revealing the muscle tissue-like veins inside, like peeled flesh, covered with holes.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a huge mouth opening and closing, filled with sharp teeth.
Thick, smelly juice gushed out of those mouths, and the petals spread out on the ground, like a huge carpet.
Buzz!
Chen Lun took off into the air, intending to fly over the range of the flower, bypass it and go directly into the wooden house.
But just at this moment.
From the pistil in the center of the giant flower, under those disgusting and terrifying flesh and blood branches, a thick and long "vine" suddenly shot out, covered with eyeballs and sharp teeth.
Like its tongue!
The top opened again, revealing dense bone spurs.
Go straight to Chen Lun who is in mid-air.
It is extremely fast and seems to be able to detect the movements of its prey on its own.
"roll!"
The silver cane in Chen Lun's hand deformed, and he chopped the disgusting vines with his backhand sword.
There was a muffled sound.
The sword blocked the vine's attack but did not cut it off.
Chen Lun frowned slightly. He felt the touch of the sword, as if it was chopping on extremely tough skin.
"I don't have time to bother with you."
Chen Lun took out three bottles of blue ink incendiary bombs, activated them, and threw them at the pistil in the center of the flower.
Then the scaly wings vibrated violently and the body accelerated to fly over.
This polluted plant did not seem to be stupid. It danced its "long tongue"-like vines quickly, leaving an afterimage and shattering the three incendiary bombs in mid-air in advance.
boom!!
Blue flames bloomed in the air, as brilliant as fireworks.
Chen Lun turned around, expressionlessly activated his gloves, and threw out another extraordinary fireball as big as Bab.
boom!!
The vine's "long tongue" was too late to swing, and the fireball fell on the corpse carpet flower, burning violently! The extraordinary flame released by [Palm Fireworks] had a terrible high temperature, burning the flesh-like plant with crackling sounds, shrinking and carbonizing.
Ahhhh…!
Flames rose up, and the corpse carpet flower trembled violently after being burned. The flesh and blood branches at the stamen area actually made screams similar to those of humans.
Its movements became several times faster, its open petals suddenly closed, and then its entire body drilled into the riverbed surface formed by nails and teeth and disappeared.
Only a hot hole with smoke rising out of it was left.
Chen Lun sneered, retracted his gaze, and pushed the door open.
He walked into the cabin and closed the door behind him.
Click.
The familiar room furnishings came into view, and Chen Lun went straight to the desk without stopping.
A page of manuscript was quietly placed on the table.
This is the last piece of extraordinary knowledge about [Sequence 6 - Aerial Man] left by Philip!
"Finally it's all together..."
Chen Lun sighed and picked up the manuscript.
He took out the manuscripts he had collected and organized earlier and put this page at the bottom.
After pulling out a chair and sitting on it, he placed the manuscript upright on the table and tapped it to make it neatly arranged. Then Chen Lun simply sat here and started reading.
[Discover the extraordinary knowledge of "Destiny Faction Sequence 6 - Flying Man" (complete)! 】
[You have completed the prerequisites for promotion. Do you want to start the promotion task? ]
"My promotion ceremony has finally arrived... Let me see what it is!"
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
"yes!"
