Chapter 179 Weird Earth Wall

Qi Yuan brought the black tiger bee queen and the entire black tiger bee colony with Zhong Maiyun to the "ultra-deep underground shelter".

At this time, the entire shelter was pitch black, and almost no light could be seen.

Thinking that he was 70 meters deep at this time, Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression.

If it was safe, the "ultra-deep underground shelter" would naturally give people an unparalleled sense of security.

But now, with strange things happening one after another, this sense of security has turned into a sense of suffocation.

In order to make it easier to investigate the situation, Qi Yuan and Zhong Maiyun returned to the underground shelter and brought the artificial sun over.

As the sunlight spread, the entire ultra-deep underground shelter began to become brighter and no longer so gloomy and terrifying.

Whether it was Qi Yuan and Zhong Maiyun, or the workers in the dormitory area, they were temporarily free from fear.

Qi Yuan looked around and found that the entire shelter was very normal and there was nothing strange.

The two did not hesitate, but went directly to the workers' dormitory area.

That was the source of the strange things, with the most clues left, and the best breakthrough point.

When approaching, Qi Yuan saw the densely packed, surrounding guardian thorns.

50 good-grade plants and 500 ordinary-grade plants were definitely a strong force that ordinary workers could not solve.

Moreover, Qi Yuan checked the condition of the guardian thorns and found that they were very healthy and had no problems.

At the same time, Zhong Maiyun's layout was very clever, and almost all possible exits were blocked.

Logically, this group of workers could not get out.

Even underground, there were guards of the roots of the guardian thorns, and it was impossible to dig a hole to escape.

At this time, Qi Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you confiscate all the teleportation scrolls when they came?"

Zhong Maiyun rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Such an important question, how could I forget it?"

Qi Yuan also scratched his head, feeling that he seemed to have asked a stupid question, and walked into the dormitory area with some confusion.

In the dormitory area, the expressions, demeanor, and movements of the workers all fell into Qi Yuan's eyes.

Qi Yuan looked carefully.

He found that there was no dodging, no concealment, no guilt... all fear and terror.

Judging from such expressions, the possibility of all people committing the crime together is very low.

Qi Yuan walked around every corner in the dormitory area.

However, he still did not find anything abnormal.

As the remaining area became smaller and smaller, he had come to the toilet and looked over with a solemn expression.

This is where the first person disappeared.

Although it has been checked many times, no problems have been found. It is a very suspicious place.

Qi Yuan approached, and a pungent smell rushed into his nose, but his expression did not change, and he walked over calmly.

At first, he did not find anything abnormal.

But soon, he found something wrong.

The concentration of spiritual energy here... seems to be very wrong!

Although it is said that within the scope of the level 5 shelter, there will be continuous spiritual energy coming out.

However, at the border of the fifth-level shelter, the concentration of spiritual energy is very low because of the large amount of spiritual energy overflowing.

It may even be almost non-existent.

Then, the earth wall behind the toilet, as the border of the shelter, still has rich spiritual energy coming out.

This phenomenon is very abnormal.

At this time, Zhong Maiyun saw Qi Yuan stopped here and did not move for a long time.

He also approached and asked: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Qi Yuan frowned and pointed at the earth wall, saying: "There seems to be something wrong here!"

"Is there a problem?"

Hearing this, Zhong Maiyun looked puzzled, and then fixed his eyes on the earth wall.

Qi Yuan calmly explained: "This is at the border of the shelter. Logically, the spiritual energy should be extremely thin. But here it is just the opposite."

After hearing Qi Yuan's words, Zhong Maiyun finally reacted.

"Is there a problem behind this?"

"It's very likely!"

"What should we do?"

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's dig it up and see."

Zhong Maiyun did not refuse and directly arranged for people to come and try to dig up this earth wall.

Qi Yuan and Zhong Maiyun hid far behind, surrounded by the guardian thorns and black tiger bees.

If there is really a problem here, it can make two workers disappear in succession, which must be very dangerous!

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the earth wall was quickly dug up.

However, as the first layer of 5 cm thick soil fell, it was difficult to dig any more.

The soil behind was as hard as gold and stone, and ordinary pickaxes could not shake it at all.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!"

Qi Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, thinking in his heart.

Seeing that the workers' progress stopped, Qi Yuan walked forward, took out a good-grade iron pickaxe, and slammed it on the earth wall.

Unexpectedly, the earth wall only fell some small stones.

This hardness almost exceeded the good-grade rock.

Then, he took out the "identifier" to identify it and found that it was just ordinary soil and stones, and the quality was not high.

This shows that the problem is not with the earth wall.

It is more likely that there are other situations behind the earth wall.

Qi Yuan and Zhong Maiyun looked at each other, tacitly took out the pickaxe together, and started digging.

Based on the previous situation, this soil was not too dangerous, so the two dared to do it themselves.

However, they were always very careful in secret.

At the same time, in order to improve work efficiency, Qi Yuan arranged for the black tiger bee colony to dig together.

Soon, the hard soil layer was dug up on a large scale.

But as the digging went deeper, Qi Yuan felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because the digging process was getting more and more strenuous!

There seemed to be a very strong suction force in this hard soil, which kept absorbing the power.

The suction force became stronger and stronger until an ordinary black tiger bee was sucked onto the earth wall with a "pop".

Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, the black tiger bee was completely sucked into the soil and disappeared!

Qi Yuan's pupils contracted, and he immediately pulled Zhong Maiyun away, and at the same time ordered all the black tiger bees to leave.

But even so. There were dozens of ordinary black tiger bees that were absorbed into the earth wall.

No matter how they struggled, it was useless.

Qi Yuan's expression was uncertain, and he did not dare to get closer, and only dared to watch from afar.

Zhong Maiyun also looked solemn.

They understood that the reason for the workers' strange disappearance seemed to have been found.

This earth wall... should be the culprit! It's just that the mystery has not been explored by everyone.

Zhong Maiyun thought about it, took out a bunch of spirit arrows, and handed them to Qi Yuan.

Said: "It's too dangerous to continue to get closer, use the spirit arrows to continue to expand."

Qi Yuan didn't say much, took the spirit arrows directly, took out the longbow from the dimensional ring, and started to shoot arrows.

"Swish... Bang!"

The power of the spirit arrow is very objective. With just one arrow, a fist-sized hole was blown up.

The next moment, Qi Yuan's eyes were attracted.

A delicate flesh-colored object, completely different from the color of the soil layer, appeared in the soil layer...
