Fast Forward To 3077

The place where the evil is sealed is the temple at the other end of the valley.

All the expedition team thinks about how to pass and complete the ultimate mission of this trip.

Unexpectedly, because of a landslide, the power of the relic civilization that had participated in this incident was shown in front of everyone in this rather surprising way.

At this time, no one said to give up and go down.

Even Madeleine, who previously proposed to travel along the rock wall to the destination in an eclectic way, has become a supporter of continuing to explore at this time, and the reason for this phenomenon is not The curiosity of the people present about the civilization of the ruins.

Curiosity wants to say that nothing is false, but the main reason that really makes everyone determined to continue exploring is the need of AIB and Secret Society.

Don’t forget, all the people present are the core figures of these two real power departments. To a large extent, they are volunteers to participate in the tasks. To put it harder, they have already done it. Preparations for sacrifice, so each obtained a part of the secret behind this operation.

Everyone knows in their hearts that just sending the evil spirits back can only delay the outbreak of the crisis and buy more breathing time for Wusu City.

Now I accidentally ran into a secret that was not discovered during the previous expedition. If I can figure it out, maybe it will make things happen in a new turn, and there is no reason to give up anyway.

As the expedition continues to deepen, the battlefield situation is constantly changing.

In the beginning, it was just a fight between giants and giant beasts, and then normal human bones began to appear. The number of various instruments was also increasing, and even some remaining fortifications appeared.

Although most of them have collapsed, some utensils with strange inscriptions have been preserved.

The entire group is scattered, and the surrounding environment is checked by the lighting of fluorescent insects.

"This place should be the Defensive Array on the human side. The number of alienated beasts' bones is decreasing. Obviously, they have not succeeded in breaking through the direction. As expected, if humans lose, the temple It is impossible to build."

Xu Jiu looked at the surrounding environment, centered on his current location, and within the range of several hundred meters in diameter, can be seen everywhere. This kind of facility, even if it has been severely eroded, can still vaguely feel the solid defense line here.

I picked up a wooden stick with crystal stone inlaid on the top. With a little effort, the edge of the stick completely turned into a powder. During the period, there was some fluorescent light spilling out of it, and what was left was A hexagonal crystal stone.

Input some flame energy into the crystal stone, and the rays of light will light up. Obviously, the wooden staff connected by this thing should be the existence of the staff, the refinement formation in the relic civilization , The inscription is specially made for this kind of equipment.

"Strange...Xu Jiu, did you find it? With this as the limit, the battlefield on the right is covered with all kinds of bones. The problem is that there are many skeletons of giants, which really belong to humans. Although skeletons have also been discovered, the number is extremely small, and human casualties are really so low?"

Zheng Yi admits that the relic civilization also has its own ultra-mortal body system, and the number of powerhouses will never be small, but just now Along the way, the skeletons of those giant alienated beasts that were more than ten meters high were obviously not good-looking.

The giants who fought with them all died in large numbers, but can ordinary humans survive easily?

"There are two possibilities. Either this line of defense can play a far greater role than expected, or they are..."

"Sir, here we found the cemetery !"

"Look, this is the second possibility. There is a cemetery where humans have gathered most of the corpses. Let's take a look."

Throwing away the crystal stone in his hand, Xu Jiu motioned to Zheng Yi followed, not far behind the line of defense, and crossed a pile of equipment that had long lost its prototype. The expedition team gathered from everywhere noticed the broken stone tablet and the raised mound on the open space in front of him.

The movement of the crowd caused the fluorescent worm that was originally hovering in the air to move closer to the front.

The shallow blue rays of light dissipate the darkness and illuminate this area. All the people approaching fell silent. In front of them, hundreds of tombstones were scattered at the bottom of the abyss, and this It's just a small area.

In the shadows in the distance, there are more tombstones faintly discernible. They are surrounded by darkness, watching like ghosts at the expedition that disturbs them.

The scale of the war that broke out under this abyss is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Xu Jiu stared at this Chaotic Burial Mound for a while, suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked back at the battlefield he had walked before,

"Less... ..."

"en?"

Zheng Yi beside me didn't hear clearly,

"What's missing?"

"The cemeteries here are all about the same size. They should be prepared for normal people."

"Of course, the cemetery is prepared for people, so it won't give those alienated beasts... you are Say there is no cemetery for giants?"

In the middle of talking, Zheng Yi suddenly reacted.

"Yes, the number of cemeteries here is roughly two to three hundred, and there should be more in the distance. The forces that once stationed here can gather the bodies of so many people, which proves that in the course of the war It’s not that there’s no time to rest, but they just left the skeletons of those giants in the battlefield."

To say that the giant’s corpse is too large to be moved, so it’s not unavailable. This possibility.

The problem is that even if it's not easy to move, it won't make them entangled with alienated beasts after death, right?

"So it seems that the status of those giants is much lower than that of the humans here. They are not so much comrades in arms, but more like consumable servants."

Zheng Yi does not have too much. Concerned about the tombstone, there was a bit of disappointment on his face,

"Since these are all tombstones, it means that the rear of the human army is here. It seems that there is no place such as camps."

The expedition team searched around here. The natural impossible they wanted to find was this kind of meaningless tombstone. If you want to figure out what happened that year, the most important thing is undoubtedly to find the one stationed here. The main human camp.

However, judging from the current situation, the camp may have been cancelled or annihilated for a long time.

Just looking at these tombstones will not yield anything, and the people present will not feel awe of these dead from another era, so after a brief wandering, everyone intends to record A part of the inscription was used for follow-up research, after which he was evacuated here.

During this process, Xu Jiu was still walking around in the Defensive Array, as if looking for something. When everyone gathered again, Zheng Yi heard him whisper to himself,

"Why not..."

I wanted to ask exactly what Xu Jiu was looking for. I was about to speak, but my attention was shifted somewhere in the corner of my eye. Attract the past.

The stone tablet, which had been fuzzy on its surface, was slanted in front of the grave, and the incomplete stone was completely shattered.

The dust was lifted up by the upside-down shock, and the dirt floating on the top of the tomb in the back, but this slight abnormality still awakened a certain existence.

The soil was cracked, and under the fine cracks, a black and purple sharp claw burst out of the soil.

Then the whole tomb began to bulge, like a dirty embryo, gestating a dirty monster.

Sharp claw pats the soil, a head with no hairs and pits squeezes out from it. No obvious organ features can be seen on its face. There are only two places where the eyes should be. A group of yellowish pustules, the nose is more like being cut off, no trace at all, only the mouth full of yellow-brown fangs is wide open, a long and narrow tongue is spit out from it, flicking around, like Searching for the breath in the air

It smells the breath of life!

Perhaps it hasn't smelled this delicious breath for a long time. It trembled with excitement. It crawled out of the grave much faster, and its mouth kept making sounds like a cough.

With both arms frantically pulling the grave soil, it can’t wait to bite the sweet flesh and blood. The body slightly larger than an adult quickly crawled out of the grave for most of it, ugly and dirty. Disgusting.

It tried to move, but the two arms just stretched out and then paused in the air, waving around in confusion.

The breath of life...It seems a little bit beyond imagination.

I don’t know when the members of the expedition team were standing around the tomb. They looked at the monster that crawled out of the tomb and talked about its origin. Xu Jiu was holding a few small pieces in his hand. The stones were thrown from time to time, trying to throw them into the nostrils of this monster.

This is too bad...

For everyone who has encountered all kinds of weirdness along the way, this guy in front of you really can't be considered. , There is no pressure on the strong crowd!

The vine trapped the monster, ignoring its "opinions" and dragging it out of the grave forcibly.

Xu Jiu looked at the place in the scattered graveyard. There was a skeleton lying in it. Obviously, this one was not the owner of the tomb.

"I thought it was a hidden special weird, it should be a strange species spawned by evil energy, a worthless monster."

Looking up and down, Xu Jiu was disgusting. The monster has no interest in research, shook the head and signaled Zheng Yi to dispose of it. The latter snapped his fingers.

The vine that originally bound the monster was immediately transferred to its neck and suddenly tightened. It will break its neck soon.

"There should be nothing of value here. Then I will lean against the rock wall according to Madeleine's plan...What is it doing?"

Xu As soon as Jiu took out the thermos from his backpack, he saw that the monster who had been strangled into zongzi suddenly raised his arm, put his paw directly into his mouth, and then gnawed it down. The foul liquid spurted out immediately, not to mention it. But he began to gobble up his own flesh and blood.

This is too slow to kill, speed up yourself?

"No, look at its chest!"

Madeleine suddenly drew a knife and slashed the vines on the monster's chest, and saw a crystal stone emerge from the gray and dry chest. With a burst of lava energy, the monster in front of him seemed to have been infused with some kind of power, and the range of movements suddenly increased!

It's not that Xu Jiu has never seen a monster who devours flesh and blood to strengthen himself, but it is the first time he encounters a crisis and eats himself.

What's more surprising is that it actually has a strengthening effect.

Eating on your own can also strengthen yourself. Isn't that a "power bank" with you?

This sudden change caused everyone in the expedition who had planned to leave to stop, and focused on the cracked skin on the chest of the monster, revealing a dark red color.

"Can such a low-level monster have this ability?"

Xu Jiu has to admit that he has taken a look away. In his perception, the head in front of him is entangled. Zongzi’s monster is extremely weak, and the ability it exhibits at the moment obviously shouldn’t be what a monster of this level can have.

"Open your chest and take a look."

For the act of dismembering the monster, Zheng Yi did not have any psychological pressure and motioned to Madeleine to do it directly.

Reluctant to pierce the body full of filth with her sabre, Madeleine condenses an energy blade on the tip of the knife, cuts the skin and flesh, and presents the dark red organs in front of everyone.

A heart with mysterious rune imprinted on the outside!

Although the heart has been completely unrecognizable from the appearance, it can only be judged by its position, but the strange inscription of rays of light on its surface still quickly attracted the attention of the expedition team.

With it as the core, the flesh and blood that the monster swallowed falls into the throat, and it is melted directly into the heart by a mysterious power, and immediately dispersed throughout the body. The whole process seems simple, but actually The above conversion process is unimaginable.

"The evil spirit energy may be able to change the state of living beings, and it is absolutely impossible to imprint inscriptions in their bodies."

Xu Jiu has some understanding of the characteristics of evil spirit energy in recent times. Once they enter the organism, what is left is to plunder, swallow, and occupy, such as the delicate life of branding inscriptions, which is basically impossible.

This kind of monster is more impossible. It breaks open its chest by itself, and then uses some kind of equipment to complete the inscription branding.

In this way, only one possibility remains.

Man-made engineering!

"Inscriptions, incantations, this kind of crafts are indeed unique technologies of the relic civilization, but...is it really worthy?"

Colonel Zong Ze Over the years, I have studied the techniques he said, but I can't figure out how this disgusting monster can actually be operated on.

"No, the fact that this guy looks like a ghost now doesn't mean that it was the same in the past. I think it is necessary to try it, let it go, and then threaten it."

"Do you want it to lead us?"

"Yes, since it can survive to the present and maintain its ability to use, I have reason to believe that there are other similar monsters nearby, saying Maybe it can lead us to find some interesting things."

Since it is a man-made monster, there must be places to make them. The camp just now is obviously a wartime camp, and it is unlikely that the laboratory Set up in the kind of place that may be broken at any time.

Because of this, Xu Jiu wants the monster in front of him to be a leader.

Under Zheng Yi's order, the vines loosened and the monster broke free. Even if he wanted to kill everyone in the expedition, he was frightened by the surging horrible imposing manner in the next second, and rushed forward. The momentum stalled, and immediately turned around and ran.

"Knowing that fear means that it is not an irrational monster. Now that it is threatened, it will immediately escape to the safe zone it thinks, follow!"

There are monsters in Leading the way, the expedition team followed, because of the wound made by Madeleine before, the monster left a clear tracking route in the process of escaping.

At first, it was still straight. After running for nearly a hundred meters, he suddenly turned to the right and went straight to the rock wall of the valley. When Xu Jiu entire group followed, he found that the monster was dragging his badly injured body. climb up.

In no rush to chase after him, Xu Jiu stopped the others and followed by alone with a phantom body.

Zheng Yi and the others waited for a while before seeing Xu Jiu come back again,

"Found it, the place of charm and beauty inside the valley rock wall."
