Boom!
The rock face seemed to be shaken by some invisible force, the rocks loosened and cracked.
Large chunks of stone fell from the rock face, raising dust.
Yang Tianxuan and the others looked on curiously.
The original rock face disappeared, a wide tunnel appeared before their eyes.
The tunnel was deep, a faint breeze blew from within, carrying slight chills.
Gazing into the depths of the tunnel, a faint green light emanated.
"Put away the mining robots, let's go inside and take a look," Yang Tianxuan spoke in a deep voice at this moment.
The members of the Doomsday Technology Guild heard this, and swiftly stored the mining robots in their space bags, then followed Yang Tianxuan curiously into the tunnel.
The tunnel was filled with a damp aura, the rock walls were covered with stalactites of various shapes, Yang Tianxuan and the guild members took out flashlights from their space bags, constantly swaying them in the intertwined space of darkness and green light, dispersing the areas that the green light didn't illuminate.
"Everyone remain vigilant, pay attention to the surroundings," Yang Tianxuan softly reminded them, his voice echoing in the tunnel.
As they ventured deeper, the green light ahead became clearer, revealing a giant green light source at the end of the tunnel.
"Boss Yang, there's something here."
A sudden shout attracted everyone's attention, Yang Tianxuan turned his head towards the direction specified by the voice.
At the corner between the ground and wall on one side of the tunnel, many oddly shaped skeletons were piled up.
These skeletons were not humanoid in shape, their limbs were elongated, resembling twisted vines, each joint and finger bone like sharp blades, bending towards the rock wall, as if trying to grasp something before death.
The bones of these deceased beings were completely permeated by unknown green energy, giving off a faint green glow.
Analysis ability activated, related information surfaced in the minds of Yang Tianxuan and the others:
[Gui Li Corpse (Dead)]:
Hunting Level: Level 0
Target Introduction: A member of the Ghostly Clan from the descending force of the Ghostly World, transformed into a Gui Li Corpse after being infected by the Immortal Virus, and died a second time due to the inability to absorb sufficient qi-blood energy.
...
After reading the analytic information, Yang Tianxuan and the others continued exploring towards the light source.
Upon reaching the end, they discovered that the green light was emanating from a massive crystal box, composed of countless green crystal stones, the emitted light interweaving to form flowing lines.
According to the analytic information, this was a Crystal Stone Elevator, capable of leading to deeper underground spaces.
The crystal stones forming the Crystal Stone Elevator were a kind of Level 3 Spirit Ore.
Yang Tianxuan was faced with two choices.
One was to dismantle the elevator and directly pack the crystal stones.
The other was to ride the elevator to the cave's underground space, to investigate what lies below.
How to choose clearly pointed towards the option that maximized benefits.
After a brief exchange in the guild chat channel, the group entered the glowing Crystal Stone Elevator, beginning to study how to activate it.
The operation area was inlaid with a square crystal board, densely engraved with runes, the groove of the runes flashed with the same green light as the elevator's overall light, Yang Tianxuan stood close by, examining it carefully, seeing the runes formed a spiral-like structure, spreading outward from the center of the crystal stone.
Attempting to press one of the runes, the Crystal Stone Elevator shook slightly and suddenly sank.
The sensation of weightlessness hit, the elevator's descent speed grew faster and faster.
After a short while, the elevator's speed gradually slowed, until it stopped.
Looking outside, it was another tunnel, the rock walls showed obvious traces of excavation.
Various depths of pick marks crisscrossed, in some places the rocks were neatly cut, exposing smooth surfaces, undoubtedly, there must have been a massive effort invested into this excavation in the past.
Exploring within the tunnel, occasionally spotting some broken stone picks, rusty shovels and other tools scattered in corners, all rusted and merged with the surrounding rocks.
At this point, a roar echoed from the end of the tunnel.
Followed by a dense and dull sound of footsteps.
"Prepare for battle."
With Yang Tianxuan's words, the guild players swiftly drew out their spiritual ability guns.
The tunnel's end revealed numerous shriveled muscular, ferocious-looking monsters.
Analysis ability activated, related information appeared in the minds of Doomsday Technology Guild members:
[Gui Li Corpse]:
Hunting Level: Level 32 (Long-term inability to absorb qi-blood energy, entered weak state)
Target Introduction: Special life form transformed from Ghostly Clan members after being infected by the Immortal Virus, acting solely on bloodthirsty instinct, able to grow by devouring blood.
...
Dense spiritual energy bullets shot forward like raindrops.
Then, an energy rod traced a path through the air, accurately thrown near the Gui Li Corpses.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the tunnel shook, fragments of rock falling from the overhead rock walls.
But the Gui Li Corpses seemed endless, continuously attacking, wave after wave.
All the Doomsday Technology Guild could do was conduct phased barrages for fire suppression, preventing the Gui Li Corpses from getting close.
Ink Flame Bullets, Roaring Bullets, Thunderbolt Bullets... combined with the Life Soul Characteristic, the bullets' destructive power was immense, yet every second consumed considerable sacrificial power.
When the guns roar, sacrificial power burns.
This was also the biggest drawback of technological weapons, each output required sacrificial power costs.
While killing monsters provided feedback gains, it wasn't guaranteed to cover the cost.
As the fierce battle continued, Qi Sheng's consciousness descended.
He didn't focus on the players and Gui Li Corpses' fight but ventured with the Guidance's consciousness further into the depths of the cave.
