There are people there.
He pointed at the mountains below Slacking on the Sidelines.
Qin Ze looked in the direction he was pointing.
Seven or eight ragged people were seen carrying a blood-soaked, unidentified creature on their shoulders, slowly making their way up the mountain.
Yao Yuan immediately controlled the flying sword to descend.
Those people looked up at the sound and were horrified to see a group of people descending at breakneck speed.
They dropped the prey they were carrying on their shoulders and ran frantically towards the mountaintop.
But how can two legs outrun a flying sword?
Qin Ze and his group descended from the sky, blocking the group's path.
These people were dressed somewhat like scavengers.
He was wearing tattered clothes.
He was holding an extremely primitive weapon.
They were all covered in dust and dirt.
In addition, some are malnourished.
Everyone was extremely thin and hunched over.
Yao Yuan sheathed his flying sword and asked, "Who are you people?"
The men's faces were filled with terror, and they trembled uncontrollably.
"Dumb?"
The Fairy is a very impatient person.
She gently waved her hand.
Several vines broke through the soil.
They were about to tie those people up.
Rumble--
The mountain range suddenly began to tremble violently.
A crack appeared beneath the feet of the scavengers, and they instantly fell through.
The Fairy, sensing the situation, immediately manipulated the vines to rescue the person.
But before the vines could even enter the crack, the earth had already closed it.
Qin Ze said, "It was man-made."
The appearance of the crack was too coincidental.
They were clearly there to rescue people.
The Scholar said in a deep voice, "My vision can penetrate rocks and the ground."
After he finished speaking, he opened his eyes again and looked at the crack where he had been standing. The scene below was now completely visible.
A complex network of tunnels is closely connected to each other.
The scavengers were walking in one of the passageways.
The passage is not fixed, but constantly moving and changing, like an extremely complex and enormous underground anthill.
The Scholar withdrew his powers and said to the crowd, "Below us lies a vast labyrinth composed of countless tunnels."
"The maze is constantly changing, as if it were alive."
Yao Yuan said calmly, "It should be some kind of innate ability to control rock and soil."
"To be able to build such a massive underground settlement, this person's cultivation level must be at least Level Nine."
He paddled Slacking on the Sidelines on the ground. "Good grief, so we've already run into a big boss hiding underground right after we came out."
Qin Ze said thoughtfully, "No boss likes to hide underground like a rat."
"Judging from the reaction of those scavengers just now, they are very afraid of us, which is why they are hiding underground."
These people reminded Qin Ze of the Church of the Eternal Flame, who lived in the city's sewers during his last Hunt Otherworld.
To escape the pursuit of the Spirit of Eternal Life, they were forced to live day and night in the dark sewers.
"Mole."
Lu Tongtong, who was crouching beside the bloodied carcass of her prey, suddenly whispered.
"It's too dirty, Little Deer, stay away."
The Fairy pulled Lu Tongtong up and held her protectively in front of her.
The Taoist examined it and said, "It is indeed a mole, but its size is rather unusual."
Slacking on the Sidelines and kicked the corpse. "Is it Corruption?"
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, "Based on my previous two experiences Hunt Otherworld, this mole, apart from being a bit larger due to its mutation, has not been Corruption by any external forces."
The Taoist said, "Could the Corruption be caused by that group underground?"
The Fairy, holding the Little Deer, said calmly, "That's easy. Just dig them out and ask them."
Slacking on the Sidelines, eager to try, and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too."
"Our armored vehicle convoy has no reason to back down; we should confront them head-on."
Qin Ze shook his head, thinking to himself that they were two reckless brutes.
Wang Biao remained silent throughout the entire process.
After all, this was his first time entering the Hunt Otherworld.
I'm not familiar with many of the procedures.
With a big shot leading the team, it's fine to just be a nobody.
The two reckless men acted immediately.
Several vines sprouted from the ground around the Fairy.
They were tightly intertwined and combined to form a giant drill bit.
The drill bit spun rapidly as it drilled into the ground, instantly creating a hole more than ten meters long.
In contrast, Slacking on the Sidelines is much simpler and more direct.
He took out a pickaxe from his storage space and transformed into a ruthless tilling machine.
In less than a minute, the Fairy and the Slacking on the Sidelines worked together to dig a pit tens of meters deep.
Rumble--
The ground beneath their feet began to move again.
The soil and sand that the two had just dug out flowed into the pit like water, filling it up.
Slacking on the Sidelines and muttered, "Can't take a joke, huh?"
boom--
An explosion occurred on the mountaintop.
Countless stones were thrown down the mountain.
Like hailstones, they rained down on everyone in dense clusters.
The Taoist immediately threw out several Five Elements Talisman.
A thick earthen wall rose from the ground, stopping all the rolling stones.
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.
As expected, someone with the ability was secretly manipulating the mountains.
Rumble--
Several pillars made of rocks and mud rose from the ground and crashed down on Qin Ze and the others from all directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
Before Qin Ze and the others could make a move, a missile struck from a distance, blasting the earthen pillar to smithereens.
"Someone else is here."
Yao Yuan at the distant sky.
A black, heavily armed transport rotorcraft slowly flew in.
He retracted the pickaxe at the Sidelines: "What do you mean?"
Yao Yuan: "Let's see who it is first."
After the gyroplane flew over the group of people, it did not land immediately, but hovered in the air.
Bang bang bang bang--
The gyroplane launched several light blue electronic devices, which then pierced the ground around Qin Ze and the others.
"Interesting."
"These devices are like a tranquilizer injected into the ground."
"That guy's ability has failed."
The Scholar looked with great interest at the things stuck in the ground.
Four fully armed soldiers jumped from the gyroplane.
They were dressed in uniform combat gear and wore breathing masks, with not an inch of skin exposed to the air.
"Don't move."
The soldiers raised their strange guns and pointed them at the crowd.
The Fairy frowned. "How annoying."
Qin Ze observed the other party.
These soldiers are positioned very professionally.
Soldiers remained in the cockpit of the gyroplane in the sky to provide support.
The dark muzzles of cannons mounted on the hatch were aimed at them.
Compared to the previous scavengers, these people undoubtedly come from civilized society.
Yao Yuan said calmly, "We mean no harm."
One of the soldiers asked, "Have any of you been infected?"
Qin Ze shrugged. "I don't think so."
The soldier approached slowly. "I need to conduct a routine check on you now, don't be nervous."
A moment later, he took out something resembling a temperature gun from his waist and scanned the Hunter one by one.
"Thankfully, none of you have been infected."
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and raised his arms, waving them a few times in a crossed pattern towards the gyroplane.
Immediately afterwards, the gyroplane airdropped the next equipment crate.
The soldier saluted the group. "Please put on your protective suits, and we will take you away."
