High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

After setting up the encirclement and ensuring that not even a fly could get out, the Northwest Military Command officially began ultrasonic surveying.

Chen Mo and the others didn't have much to do these past few days; the only one who was a little busy was He Miao.

She's been following the cooks around every day for the past few days, absorbing a lot of cooking skills.

He Miao's culinary skills have evolved once again, mastering how to skillfully prepare three dishes and a soup while running.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the exploration team had found a relatively easy entry point for excavation.

After 24 hours of continuous excavation, a tunnel 170 meters deep appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Assault battalion, prepare for battle!"

Without saying a word, Kong Dexian picked up a giant hammer and stood in front of the entrance.

The entrance wasn't very big, so no one could figure out where the cultists who attacked Chen Mo that day had come from.

"Adjust the queue; there's a very high probability of being attacked after going down."

"yes!"

As soldiers of the assault battalion, all 235 of them were top-tier martial artists, each a veteran of countless battles.

Although their attributes are unremarkable, the combat experience gained from countless battles can still make up for it to some extent.

The premise is that you don't encounter a numerical monster like Chen Mo.

"I'll be the vanguard! Let's take action!"

In order to open the passage quickly enough, the Northwest Military Command chose to dig a vertical shaft directly above the cave.

At this moment, Kong Dexian stepped into the vertical shaft and began freefall, ignoring the height of more than 100 meters.

The soldiers of the assault battalion behind him also jumped into the shaft, and thick streams of blood and qi gushed out from it.

A few minutes later, the area within a kilometer radius began to tremble violently, with an intensity comparable to a major earthquake!

"It seems the situation below is not optimistic..."

Chen Mo frowned as he sensed a familiar energy fluctuation within the shaft.

That's right, it's the kind of energy fluctuation unique to the abyssal rifts.

The shaking lasted for a full three hours before it stopped.

After the tremors subsided, more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers were brought out of the shaft.

The military's mental health specialists were very experienced in this kind of thing and immediately went to provide treatment.

"How is the situation?"

Chen Mo walked up to a soldier whose injuries weren't too serious and asked him a question.

"A temporary camp has been set up, and the situation below is unlike anything we've ever seen before..."

The soldier winced in pain, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"The feeling below is neither like Earth nor like the environment in the abyss rift."

"It's strange, you can only understand what I mean by seeing it with your own eyes."

"Thanks a lot."

Chen Mo nodded, then turned and waved to Gu Feng and the others.

"He Miao, I'll take a drone down with me. I suspect the conditions down there are similar to the Abyss Rift, and ordinary technological products won't be able to work."

"Ma Wanglin and Gu Feng, you two should be ready to ask those two grandmasters for help at any time."

"Needless to say, even if I encounter someone above the Grandmaster level, I can at least last for twenty seconds before being instantly killed."

"Do you understand?"

Gu Feng and the other two nodded, showing their absolute obedience to Chen Mo's decision.

After all, Chen Mo had almost never made a mistake, and his strength was the strongest among them.

"No, you can't."

A master from the Northwest Military Department walked over and pinned Chen Mo to the spot.

"Your identity is too special; there are some things we can't let you take risks for."

"Leave it to us, we'll go explore down there first."

"The campsite below is already set up, and it's not too dangerous. Let's go down together."

Chen Mo shook his head; he could sense subtle energy fluctuations below.

It's not a fluctuation of Qi and blood, but the abyssal energy within the abyssal rift.

"Okay, let's do it together."

Another master from the Northwest Military Region also came over, and the two of them led Chen Mo to stand in front of the shaft.

"Tell the commander that something is wrong here and that he should come to provide support immediately."

"Let's go down and investigate first. Chen Mo will come out and report if anything happens."

One of the masters gave a brief instruction to the communications team, then turned and led Chen Mo into the shaft.

"I hope everything's alright..."

Gu Feng was actually a little worried, and he was ready to call Geng Lianhu.

......

As the group descended, the abyssal energy within the shaft grew increasingly concentrated, to the point that even Chen Mo experienced some energy poisoning.

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Liancheng, the grandmaster who initially forbade Chen Mo from acting alone, asked.

"I'm fine, I'll get used to it after a while."

Chen Mo took two deep breaths of abyssal energy, and his internal organs and meridians quickly adapted to the environment.

"That's unbelievable, you're only a level seven martial artist."

Another grandmaster, Zhao Lianqi, looked at Chen Mo with some surprise.

"I used to think Song Bin was just bragging to me, saying he had found a successor to carry on his legacy."

"With his methods, he'll ruin any promising young talent."

"Say no more, Governor Song hasn't said these things to him yet."

Zhao Liancheng frowned; his cousin still had such a loose tongue.

"Chen, you don't need to worry about these things for now. Governor Song will explain things to you when the time is right."

Zhao Liancheng gave Chen Mo a special warning: if Chen Mo let something slip, his cousin would probably get a beating.

"None of that matters for now. Why does the environment down here feel similar to the abyssal rift?"

"But I don't see an entrance..."

With a muffled thud, Chen Mo and the two grandmasters landed together.

"You're here?"

Kong Dexian was not surprised by Chen Mo's arrival and nodded to the two grandmasters.

"What exactly is going on here? Why aren't you all surprised?"

Chen Mo glanced at the group of people; they didn't seem surprised by the current situation.
