Chapter 1245: Chapter 556: The Eden at the Heart of the Earth_2
[Screams sounded as a large number of flying creatures were pierced through their wings, losing the ability to fly and plummeting downwards, bursting into clouds of blood mist mid-fall due to standing field embolism...]
Falling directly like this was indeed risky; if Mu You encountered any accident, there wouldn’t even be a chance to backtrack. Mu You only dared to do this because of the high performance of the Mechanical Armor Skin and the error tolerance of the Pocket Watch.
As for the monsters in the clouds along the way, they hardly posed any threat. The Mechanical Armor Skin was virtually invincible here. To deal with these monsters, Mu You didn’t even need to be serious; as long as he disabled their flying ability, they would die under the force field on their own.
[As you continue to fall, the clouds around you are dyed red by the bursting creatures, leaving a striking red trail through the Abyss...]
[Current depth: 2,580 meters, you have arrived at the third layer of the Abyss...]
Next, Mu You saw the indicated depth increase rapidly—from two thousand meters to three thousand meters, then to five and seven thousand meters...
Mu You wasn’t certain how many layers this place had. Only seven layers had been explored so far, and no one knew how much deeper it went beyond that.
However, among the explored seven layers, the higher layers did indeed have higher-level monsters. The first few layers still had creatures around level twenty, but starting from the fourth layer down, they were all level thirty Magical Beasts, without exception.
And to think that Taurus could become a dominant force in such a place teeming with fierce beasts, it was apparent how powerful she was.
[...Current depth: 24,800 meters, you have arrived at the twenty-fourth layer of the Abyss!]
[You notice that the distance between the cliffs around you begins to rapidly narrow, and at the same time, as you look downward, you can vaguely see some solid land within eyesight below...]
"Finally at the bottom?" Mu You raised an eyebrow and hurriedly controlled his character to slow down.
[You have equipped the ’Reverse Thruster Device’.]
[Four jet nozzles appear under your feet. As energy is injected, invisible streams of air burst downward fiercely, and your speed starts to sharply decrease...]
[You descend slowly and gently, like a hot air balloon, until you finally land.]
[You have landed in a thick, sticky wetland.]
[The overabundance of moisture has turned the bottom of the Abyss into a soft, muddy area, and your body begins to slowly sink into the mud...]
[You vaguely feel something hard under your foot, which finally stops you from sinking. You extend your Robotic Arm into the mud, searching...]
[You pull out a human skeleton with a backpack and torn exploring gear attached to it—this must be an explorer’s remains.]
[You walk around and continue to notice a similar sensation underfoot—beneath this mud seems to be filled with the white bones of various creatures...]
Upon reaching the base of the cliff, the first impression was of bones covering the ground. This wasn’t a surprise, considering that in the Abyss you could only go down, not up. The explorers and all the Abyssal creatures would ultimately end up here. With accumulation over thousands of years, it’s likely that enough skeletal remains have been piled up to form a mountain!
Next, Mu You controlled his character to explore the surroundings, but sadly, there was nothing but bones and mud nearby.
What puzzled Mu You was that the bottom of the Abyss seemed to be smaller than he had imagined. It didn’t take long for him to explore its edge. During this process, he didn’t see any signs of living creatures. So where exactly was Taurus?
Thinking it over, Mu You decided to try switching his character back to his flesh body skin.
[You have switched to Vampire skin.]
[A suffocating gravity immediately envelops you, and under the intense pressure, you fall flat on your face, deeply sinking into the mud, making close contact with the multitude of bones beneath...] freeweɓnøvel.com
[At the same time, you feel your internal organs shatter under the immense pressure, blood seeps from your seven orifices, and your HP plummets rapidly...]
"Just as I thought..."
Mu You’s eyelids twitched as he hurriedly switched back to the Mechanical Armor Skin.
The gravity under the Abyss was stronger at each layer; by the seventh layer, it was already the human limit, and now at the twenty-fourth layer, the gravity was so intense that even with his strength, he’d be instantly killed on the spot.
That being said, if even he was affected like this, how did Taurus manage to survive here?
Moreover, according to Taurus’s description, there were other creatures where she resided. How were those creatures surviving?
"Could I have missed it?"
Mu You quickly entertained this possibility. Perhaps Taurus was not at the bottom of the cliff but on one of the twenty-four layers he descended past. If he directly descended to the bottom, he might have missed crossing paths with her.
As he pondered, another prompt popped up in the game.
[You have switched to Mechanical Armor Skin...]
[At this moment, your body still remains in the mound of skeletons deep in the mud. After switching to the Mechanical Skin, you suddenly feel a strange summoning sensation, coming from even deeper below.]
[This is not the thought of any creature, but emanates from something inside you, conveying a joy similar to birds returning to their nest, leaves falling back to their roots...]
"Oh?" Mu You looked puzzled.
After lying on the ground with the Mechanical Armor Skin, such an odd prompt had appeared.
The description ’leaves falling back to their roots’ left Mu You somewhat baffled.
The accessories on his current Mechanical Armor Skin were almost all from the Clockwork City of the Goblins, with only two exceptions: one was the Forest Spirit Core as the power source. But that belonged to the Forest Spirits, and they surely couldn’t live in the Abyss. Otherwise, Vivian would have told him by now.
