Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 100 Back
Seeing a cloud of smoke-gray turbid gas escaping from behind the door, Ke Lan quickly turned off the air filter system on the mask of the protective suit and held his breath.

Then, he took out a test paper from his pocket, wet it with clean water, and put it up carefully.

As soon as the smoky gray breath and the wet test paper came into contact, the front end of the test paper turned black, but within a few seconds, the ink-like black faded away, leaving only a faint gray-white stain.

"Poisonous...but the poison is not very strong..."

Ke Lan opened the filter valve again and tried to take a breath of air mixed with this gas.

In addition to the pungent smell of the disinfectant in the filter box, there was a hint of a fishy and sweet smell in the nasal cavity that was a bit like the patina.

Soon, a feeling of nausea and nausea came up, and a sour and numb feeling appeared in the throat.

Fortunately, there is no more intense poisoning reaction, and this level is only slightly uncomfortable.

The 776 special team was equipped with an old-fashioned protective suit without gas cylinders and oxygen generators, and Ke Lan could only bite the bullet and continue to breathe the fishy air.

However, he still injected himself with two broad-spectrum anti-venom serums and one hormone in advance... After all, even if the toxicity in the air is very weak, with the growth of time, the toxins continue to accumulate, and quantitative changes may also lead to qualitative changes.

"No wonder it uses an airtight door... Behind this door, shouldn't it be a gas chamber?"

Ke Lan inserted a crowbar into the crack of the door, used the door frame as the fulcrum of the lever, and pressed it down hard.

"Squeak—" The heavy airtight door was "pushed" open little by little, and Ke Lan didn't stop until the crack was large enough for people to enter sideways.

"What kind of design is this?!" Ke Lan looked at the scene inside the door with a stunned expression, and even took two steps back subconsciously.

The door was open, but Ke Lan couldn't go in, because there was a cliff behind the door. As long as Ke Lan stepped over the door frame, he would immediately fall into the abyss below.

On the other side of the door, it opened on a vertical cliff.

Ke Lan raised the flashlight and shone it into the distance—it was a huge underground space. The light of the flashlight dissipated after shooting for about [-] meters, and it was impossible to reach the opposite side.

At this scale, even the giant stone gate under the glacier is far from comparable.

"Such a large space... Are the Alpha people going to build an underground city in it..."

The flashlight couldn't illuminate the front or the left and right sides, so Ke Lan could only point the beam of light under the cliff, but with such a finger, he almost didn't make him fall down——

It should be the back of some kind of creature, the spine with distinct joints arched high, like the top of the big loop of a roller coaster...

Ke Lan has seen this kind of entertainment facility in the old era in the data. The largest roller coaster ever built by human beings is the Jindaka roller coaster located in the former Six Flags Amusement Park in New Jersey, USA. The highest point is 139 meters. , just like a giant snake made of steel, and for this reason, this roller coaster is also known as the "Snake of the World".

But if the "Snake of the World" was placed in front of this thing, it would be just a... slightly bigger bug.

Ke Lan couldn't see the whole picture of this thing. It was too big. Except for the top of the arched back, the rest of it was hidden in the darkness that light couldn't penetrate.

It's like a mountain, a mountain sinking into the ground.

It has iron-grey skin, and its surface is covered with shocking scars. Around the scars, blood-like things have formed large black scabs.

Numerous stalactite pillars penetrated through its skin and were deeply nailed into the gaps in its spine. Each of these stalactite pillars was more than a meter in diameter, but compared to this spine, these stone pillars were as close as one Like a long slender steel needle, it is densely tied to it.

There is no information about such a creature in any of the strange novels... Ke Lan's lips twitched unconsciously. He wanted to find some words to describe this behemoth, but found that the language This time is so pale.

"...is the new 'prehistoric species'."

The prehistoric species, also known as the "prehistoric epic", is a very special indigenous creature on Alpha. Their close relatives and ancestors could not be found... These prehistoric species seem to have the same age as this planet, and a way of life that is simply incomprehensible to human beings.

Even Alpha Star's only "non-natural satellite" is a prehistoric species called "Kaz". It lives in an orbit 55 kilometers away from Alpha Star, and relies on absorbing energy from the star to maintain its life……

Someone once said that if the myths and stories on the earth are true, "sacred beasts" such as Suzaku Xuanwu are almost the same as these "prehistoric species".

Before opening the door, Ke Lan thought of countless hypotheses about the things behind the door, but he never guessed that in the underground space of this deserted island, there would be a "prehistoric species" imprisoned!
He took out the camera with trembling hands and wanted to capture this scene, but when he looked at the screen, he found that there was nothing under the cliff... nothing.

"?!"

In the next second, Ke Lan had already reacted. This was an image from his memory, just like the city that sank into the sea!
……

"So... at least, such a behemoth has been imprisoned here before..."

Ke Lan looked at the abyss below, the mountain-like back had disappeared, leaving only the boundless darkness.
