Chapter 40 I was left behind
"I don't know how long I've slept... but from the perception of spiritual feedback, I'm afraid the time will not be too short..."
"We have to find a way."
"Keep in a different world full of cursed mist. Even if I have spiritual protection, I will eventually be eroded by the power of the curse; I don't have enough water and food, and if I delay, I will definitely die."
With this idea in mind, Chen Ran began to try to save himself.
He first pushed the stone door hard from the inside, but couldn't open it.
My heart was a little heavier again.
The stone gate that saved his life before has now become a deadly thing.
After trying many times, there was no way to do it, so Chen Ran had to give up.
He sat on the ground, gasping, and his eyes looked at the darkness behind him.
He could feel a little bit that air seemed to be flowing. The wind mixed with the curse fog was of course not good or comfortable, but this at least showed good news, and there was also an exit in this underground space.
Moreover, Chen Ran is likely to confirm that there should be no monsters in the deep ghost passage, at least there are no monsters in a relatively close position. Otherwise, just in his half-sleeping and half-coma just now, he had no ability to resist. It would be proved that he was not killed by any monster.
Despite this, Chen Ran would also be afraid of the unknown deep.
But since the stone gate was sure that it could not be opened, he seemed to have no other choice.
The only glimmer of vitality he had was hope that the time and space gate had not been closed yet, and he could rush to the place before the cracks were closed, rushing for the last time and escape.
After cheering up his breath, Chen Ran rubbed his hands casually, and his spirituality ignited into a small ball of fire in front of him.
This is not a supernatural ability, but a small use of one's own spirituality - the premise is that the inspiration attribute is high enough and you have mastered the correct use knowledge.
The lit spiritual fire, with blue and white light, is not too bright, but it can barely allow Chen Ran to see the environment closer to him.
This is an obliquely downward passage, with no decoration around it. There is a ladder made of stones under your feet, but there are very obvious corrosion marks and many parts are damaged.
Chen Ran was cautious and walked step by step, entering the underground part of the ruins.
As he went down, Chen Ran felt that the curse power deposited by the surrounding environment was even stronger than that of the outside world.
It smells bad here, and in addition to the coal ash smell of Curse Mist, it also has a strong rotten smell.
At the same time, Chen Ran also saw many miscellaneous objects falling around. Some could see that they seemed to be long tables and chairs, and some could not tell what they were originally.
Most of the things here are made of stone or metal. If they are wood or other materials, they may not be able to hold on for such a long time.
There is not much space here, and there is no upward passage, it is a closed space.
He walked around and saw some murals, with skeletons, ghost shadows and other contents. They were worshiping a high-ranking existence, as if deep in the shadows.
Chen Ran didn't know what this meant.
In the Secret Service, there are some books that only allow formal team members to read. They record many mysterious knowledge, some are common, and most of the use of extraordinary powers Chen Ran reads this way. There are also some, which are the exploration knowledge about the other world, which seems to vaguely mention that there was a civilization in the other world. However, Chen Ran was not very interested in these historical things before, but he only occasionally looked through them and didn't know much.
It is precisely because of insufficient knowledge in this area that it is difficult for Chen Ran to learn something deeper through these murals.
"The protagonists of the mural are all kinds of necro creatures... Could it be that when the civilization here still exists, it is mainly based on the necro? It may also be a civilization that worships death and believes in the necro creatures..."
Such a thought flashed through Chen Ran's head and did not delve into it.
Nowadays, the most important thing is to find a way out.
He felt the air flow, and there must be an outlet here.
After a little time, he found the exit.
It is above a corner of the basement, where there is a crack that can be stuffed into half a fist.
This is too small...
However, he also observed that there were many signs of falling off in this area, perhaps this was not solid?
"I hope so."
Chen Ran found some footrests, piled them down, and then accumulated a punch and smashed them on it.
The large piece of stone that was no longer fit enough was knocked down by his punch.
He continued to work hard and punched him several times.
It hurts a little, but fortunately, his physique is not low, so he won’t break his hand while he is hitting it.
There are still some gains. He punched a hole in the target, which was almost the size of his body.
There was no need to use spiritual fire as light anymore, he saw a faint light coming in and lit that place.
"There is no way out!" Chen Ran was cheered up.
He bent his legs, then his thighs suddenly exerted force. After leaping up, his hands also reached into the hole and groped to both sides. Before his body fell freely to the bottom, he felt something that could make him exert force, which was like two protruding stones.
With his arm exerted force, Chen Ran crawled into the cave.
It was really narrow inside, but it was enough for him to pass.
He squeezed inside, moving up little by little.
It took about twenty minutes before Chen Ran finally squeezed out.
He looked dirty, but no matter what, he had escaped from the claustrophobic underground space.
Looking around, he should be in the ruins of the skull claw monster he had encountered before.
At that time, they only found this monster in this ruin. That guy was probably killed by the comrades of the special service team, but this was just Chen Ran's guess, so he still had to be as careful as possible.
However, it didn't take long before this guess was verified.
He saw the remains of the monster.
This also means that his previous guess came true, the last anchor point was destroyed, and the space-time crack they entered before would be closed after at most ten hours due to the loss of the anchor point.
In one day, it was almost time to reach the space-time crack from here at full speed and break out.
The comrades in the special service team have little problem, they can catch up. But they don’t know how long they have slept before, but they may not be sure.
No matter how small the opportunity was, he could not delay it. He immediately rushed to the crack in his memory and drove at full speed.
But the most desperate thing happened.
Eight hours later, Chen Ran felt a violent fluctuation, coming from the direction he was moving forward. The curse fog kept churning, and what Chen Ran could just vaguely feel was that the spatial fluctuations in the space-time cracks were gone.
He gradually slowed down until he finally stopped, standing still, not knowing what to do.
The space-time crack... was closed.
I... was left behind.
