Chapter 555 A First Exploration into the Abyss

The sudden sound made both of them nervous at the same time.

Mu You jumped up quickly and looked warily at the pile of broken parts on the sand.

If he could be resurrected, he would really be scolded...

Fortunately, it didn't seem to be a resurrection this time, it just simply broadcast a sound, and then there was no more movement.

After waiting for a moment to confirm that the mechanical body had no tendency to recover again, Mu You walked over, found the sounding chip, picked it up and checked it.

This thin piece is bronze in color as a whole and has a rather simple structure, with some alchemical runes engraved on it.

Mu You doesn't understand alchemy, but he has been exposed to various accessories of mecha skins for a long time, and he can still guess the meaning of some simple runes.

Judging from the runes, this should be just a simple sound-producing device. The sentence just now should have been broadcast before the robot died. However, due to the vocal cords being damaged by Mu You's brute force, the disc jammed for a while before the last stored syllables were recorded. Broadcast it out.

After confirming that the thing was harmless, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and then had time to think about what he had just broadcast.

"Reset the obliteration mission...start the production of backup machines?"

Mu You murmured and couldn't help but frown. The word 'backup machine' reminded him of a somewhat scary possibility: Could this thing still be a mass-produced assembly line product?

By the way, why are only herb collectors encountering this kind of thing?

The difference between the herbal collector and the locals is that he is a fool, but there are many fools. Why have I never seen this kind of robot information before?

Or maybe the problem lies in the abyss?

This thing climbed out of the abyss, and the level of the abyss is too high. No player has ever touched the abyss yet, and the herb collector is probably the first.

"Fool, deepen the abyss. Did these two conditions lead to the emergence of this thing..." Mu You pondered.

"It's almost time to open the door." At this time, the herb collector reminded.

"Okay, you go back to the abyss first."

Mu You nodded and sent the herb collector away. He stepped forward and collected all the parts in the sand. He then put down the teleportation array and teleported to Yongye City.

In the machinery factory, Eugene was pacing anxiously in front of the door. When he saw Mu You appearing in the distance, he immediately rushed over.

"You're finally here, come on, come on, where are your things?"

"What?" Mu You was a little strange.

"Core! Hurry up, several of my factories are waiting for energy to start working!" Eugene urged, his eyes already subconsciously looking at Mu You's hands.

"Oh, I will use the core for a while." Mu You said. Next, he planned to go to the abyss to check the situation. If he encountered that kind of robot again on the way, he would need to use mecha skin to deal with it.

"Huh? Still need it? How long?" Eugene frowned.

"A week... tentatively." Mu You thought for a while and said.

"A week? Still tentative?" Eugene suddenly jumped up anxiously: "Are you kidding? You want to shut down the factory for a week? Then my machines will rust!"

"It's not that exaggerated." Mu You smiled: "Don't worry, there will be a new core in a week, and no one will compete with you for energy."

Eugene was stunned when he heard this: "Seriously?"

"Really, I promise."

Mu Yuan dragged it into the factory, came to a tool table, pushed the tools on the table out, and cleared some of the table.

"Before that, please help me take a look at this thing..." After saying that, Mu You piled all the robot parts collected in the desert on the table.

"Hey, my tools..." Eugene rushed over and caught a glass instrument that almost fell.

"Be careful, you know it's very expensive..."

Eugene turned around and was about to complain, but before he could finish speaking, his eyes were firmly attracted to the things on the table and he could no longer look away.

"Bang!"

The instrument in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Eugene didn't notice it. He quickly walked to the table, quickly took out a lens and put it on his right eye. He also took out gloves and tweezers. After they were all dressed up, he carefully picked up a piece of mechanical fragment and put it under the light. Check it out.

"This... this is impossible! How can there be such a high density of alchemical runes... and how can the shape of this gear fit together? It doesn't make sense..."

Eugene couldn't help but marvel, his eyes widening as he watched.

Mu You listened to it muttering for a while, and the words he heard the most were 'this is wrong' and 'this is impossible'. Obviously, the level of alchemy contained in this robot was far beyond Eugene's knowledge.

"How is it? Can you see anything?" Mu You asked.

It's a pity that Eugene is now like a fanatical scientist who suddenly discovered alien technology. He has entered a state of overwhelming curiosity and has no time to pay attention to him.

"Ahem, study slowly and let me know when you have the results." Mu You left the factory without disturbing it again, leaving a sentence.

Ten minutes later, Mu You got stuck through the door and returned to Earth.

After the door closed, Mu You closed the door and hurriedly re-entered the game.

[With a feeling of dizziness, you appear in a dense forest. Looking up, under the mist-shrouded mountain in front, a huge sinkhole is clearly visible...]

[You have arrived at the ‘Lohmadi Abyss’! 】

When he left the abyss before, Mu You left a teleportation array nearby, and now he had the characters teleport directly over.

[You walk to the edge of the abyss, and the herb collector is already waiting here. 】

[The surface of the abyss is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a dreamlike scene. These clouds and mist are not formed by ordinary moisture condensation, but the cold breath rising from the bottom of the abyss. They are rolling and twisting, as if they are telling some ancient horror legend...]

[Under the leadership of the herb gatherer, you came to a gap on the edge of the abyss. 】

[In front of this square tooth-shaped gap, several rows of rope ladders have been installed with strong ropes by predecessors. They go downwards into the clouds. The ropes are covered with traces of countless explorers climbing. 】

【Do you want to go down the ladder immediately? 】

"Yes." Mu You came here to explore the abyss. He planned to go to the bottom of the abyss to see the situation of Taurus and find the origin of the robot.

[The herb collector took out a safety rope, tied one end of the rope around his waist, and threw the other end into the abyss. Then he took out a special hook from his backpack and hooked it hard on the rope ladder knot on the edge of the abyss...]

[The herb collector begins to slide down the rope at a constant speed, and you follow closely...]

"Can't fly in the abyss?" After letting the characters set off, Mu You asked the herb collector through the team channel.

This is his first time in the abyss, and the herb collector has been exploring here for a few days, so he should have figured out the rules.

"It can fly, but it can't rise or fall quickly." The herb collector said.

"What's the meaning?"

"You'll know after a demonstration." The herb picker said nothing.

Mu You looked back at the game.

[You see the herb collector picking up a passing mountain rat from the edge of the cliff and throwing it into the boundless abyss behind him...]

[The mountain rat was suddenly thrown out, squeaking in horror, and struggling wildly in the air, but to no avail. It could only fall freely under the pull of gravity, and the speed became faster and faster...]

["Bang!" More than ten seconds after the mountain rat was thrown, you saw the falling mountain rat suddenly explode into a ball of blood mist, which dispersed in the clouds...]

"The Great Abyss is covered with a strange force field, just like sea water. At different levels, different water pressures will be exerted on people. Once this force field is quickly diluted or strengthened, it will lead to 'force field embolism' ', the result is what you just saw, the flesh and blood of the creature will explode directly!"

"In addition, the abyss is an independent space. You cannot arrange a teleportation array or open a backpack. If you die here, you can only resurrect in place. This means that once you die during the fall, you will continue to explode in place and die. , until the life span is exhausted..."

"So you can fly in the abyss, but you can only fly horizontally, or rise or fall slowly. In addition, there are many flying monsters hidden in the mist, and there are dangers everywhere. Flying is not as stable as climbing." The herb collector. explained.

"Force field..."

Mu You nodded, then remembered something, and controlled the character to throw a stone in the game.

[You throw a stone into the endless abyss below. 】

[The stone fell freely and quickly fell into the clouds below and disappeared...]

"So this force field will only be effective on flesh and blood creatures?" Mu You asked.

"So far, yes."

"Doesn't that mean..."

"This is why I asked you to come here in person..."

"I see..." Mu You breathed out and finally understood.

If it only works on flesh and blood, that means his mecha skin can act normally here.

The existence of the mecha skin gives him a huge advantage in the abyss that is unparalleled by others. It is indeed much more efficient for him to explore the abyss than a herb gatherer.

[You slide down the rope ladder and quickly land below 500 meters. 】

[You feel a sudden increase in gravity all over your body, as if there is an invisible hand trying to pull you into the abyss...]

Mu You was stunned: "Is there a problem with gravity?"

"Yes, because of the influence of the force field, the gravity here is divided according to distance, with every 500 meters being a level. The further down you go, the higher the gravity multiplier you need to withstand."

The herb picker explained: "This is also the reason why no one has been able to detect the bottom of the abyss so far - when everyone descends to the ultimate gravity level that they can bear, they must return, otherwise they will be swallowed by the abyss, and will never be there again. A chance to climb up.”

"This way..." Mu You frowned.

Indeed, the gravity becomes stronger the further you go down, which means that once you reach the limit distance, if you continue to go down, you will be bound by gravity and can no longer break free.

And this 'limiting distance' is different for everyone. The more powerful the creature, the stronger the gravity it can resist, and the deeper it can explore.

But no matter how powerful a creature is, it must have a endurance limit. Once it exceeds this limit, it can only go down, not up, until it is trapped and dead at the bottom of the abyss.

However, this is only for flesh and blood creatures...

Muyou immediately tried switching the mecha skin.

[You switch to mecha skin, and the gravity hanging around you suddenly disappears. 】

really!

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Even the influence of gravity can be ignored. This mecha skin is simply made for exploring the abyss!

[You and the herb collector landed on a platform 500 meters deep. 】

[You look up and the area in front of you suddenly opens up and becomes a space of its own...]

"The entrance to the abyss is only two thousand meters in diameter, but the inside is not that small. On the contrary, the bottom area of ​​the abyss has expanded more than ten times. Each layer is a space of its own, with mountains, rivers, lakes, and birds, animals, fish and insects in it... …In short, every 500 to 1,000 meters, there will be a layer of underground world, and the lower the layer, the stronger the living creatures are, and the higher the gravity they need to withstand.”

"It is said that the highest level that has been proven so far is the seventh level, which is about seven thousand meters underground. The levels below it seem to have exceeded the limits of human beings. No one who has gone down has come back... Hmm!"

Halfway through the conversation, the herb collector suddenly frowned.

On the other side, Mu You has also noticed something strange.

[You have just landed on the first floor platform and are about to explore deeper when you suddenly hear a familiar mechanical voice from the cliff behind you: "Target found!\
