Fast Forward To 3077

Led by Xu Jiu, the expedition team used vines to climb the protruding platform high above the rock wall.

As soon as he stood firm, a cave appeared in front of everyone.

In addition to the slime left by the monster crawling on the ground, there are a lot of claw marks, and there is still a railroad track extending into the cave. Not far from it, there is an overturned one that looks similar to a minecart has several points of Track vehicle.

The glow worm flew over the heads of everyone, and the rays of light projected out to all sides at the same time it also revealed that there are many holes of different sizes on the rock wall not far from the upper left.

Because they are separated by a certain distance, one part can only be judged by the outline of artificial excavation, the edge is flat, and the other part is dug through with brute force, and the scale is also have nothing common with each other.

There are openings that are only large enough for one person to pass through, and there are also more than ten meters high, which makes people suspect that they may be used for the passage of giants.

"Look there!"

Suddenly Colonel Zong Ze raised his finger to the hole on the right. Everyone looked over, only a gray-brown tail was gradually disappearing in it. .

"Monster's lair?"

Glancing at the hole in front of him, the occultist swallowed and asked in a muffled voice.

Even if you are mentally prepared, as long as you are a normal person, you will be afraid of the appearance of such a giant monster, especially in the current dark environment.

"Guessed part of it, but it’s not the monster’s lair you thought. What was dragged into the hole just now was the python corpse that we ran into above. There was still a half of it when I came up just now. The bar was hung outside, and it was dragged in in just two minutes."

For seeing the body of python here, Xu Jiu himself was unavoidable to be a little surprised. You must know that python was on top of their heads at the time. As far as the position of the fall is concerned, even if it deviates, it should not be too far.

The expedition has a kilometer from the crash point to here.

In other words, to be able to drag the python weighing a ton here in such a short time, the other party will either have great strength or be a group action.

This is also part of the reason why Xu Jiu said that the secret ceremony was correct.

"There may be a lot of monsters hidden in the cave...Do you want to go in?"

Zheng Yi was a little uncertain for a while, and instinctively told him that there is probably inside the cave. There is no small danger hidden, subconsciously looked towards Xu Jiu.

"This is very likely to be the real residence of the relic civilization forces stationed here. The monster we saw just now is most likely to be completed internally. In this case, the inside of this cave Maybe there are secrets about the temple."

Xu Jiu actually wants to go in and find out, but he is not the Captain of the expedition, and strictly speaking is just a consultant, so he is not going to force others Follow your own steps and just give your own opinions.

"If we are lucky enough to find a place related to the temple, we may be able to find a direct link to the other end of the valley, which is The passage of the seal where the temple is located."

"Then go in!"

After a brief silence, Zheng Yi was still persuaded by Xu Jiu to signal the team to move forward.

I entered along the ground track and walked out a dozen steps. A slight white light appeared in front of him. Xu Jiu signaled the team to put away the fluorescent insects. The light blue fluorescence they projected in this environment It is very eye-catching.

Before there was no way, now there is a natural light source to replace it, naturally there is no need to continue to maintain it.

Go forward one more section of the road, the source of white light appears, and ash-gray crystal clusters appear on the rock wall inside the cave.

Unlike any ore I have seen before, the inside of these crystal stones is like being injected with a flowing liquid, even if the whole is embedded in the rock wall, the energy inside the crystal stone is still constant Of churning.

Xu Jiu, who was walking at the forefront, saw them immediately and stretched out a hand to break a small piece on his palm, rubbing it quietly for a few seconds, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was about to insert it. Return to the stone and break back into a larger piece to serve as an illuminating object.

The people behind them all learn from each other, and they each get a natural "flashlight".

With the deepening of the entire group, the cave passage gradually became wider like a trumpet, until Xu Jiu became aware of the environment in front, suddenly raised the crystal stone in his hand, and his vision suddenly became clear.

They arrived at a small grotto.

Everyone's eyes are on the half-open door at the other end of the cave at the first Time Lock.

Stepping quickly, Xu Jiu noticed a large amount of dust accumulated on the door panels on both sides, and traces of injured monsters could be seen on the ground in the middle.

"Look, the inside of the cave is only the passage through which we came. The other openings I just saw outside lead to other places?"

Holding the crystal stone column After walking around the grotto, Madeleine asked.

The gate that appears in this cave proves that Xu Jiu’s previous speculation is undoubtedly correct. This is the real camp, but there is only this passage that leads directly to this place and people have to care about other places. What is the situation.

"Go in and take a look and you will know."

Why don't you just turn around in this grotto will not understand, Xu Jiu crossed the heavy door panel while speaking.

Almost at the same time Xu Jiu stepped into the space behind the door, the dripping sound from the darkness made him quickly vigilant, handed the crystal stone in his hand forward, and the perception spread out immediately. .

With excellent eyesight, even with a weak light source, Xu Jiu still saw the structure inside the cave.

In the space that was supposed to be filled with all kinds of old appliances, there are actually a lot of pools!

Yes, except for the entrance area where Xu Jiu is standing, the surrounding can be seen everywhere is about two meters in diameter. The pool is tamped with unknown materials and is close to half a meter in height. Two steps, the inside has already dried up.

Where did the dripping sound come from?

I didn’t care about the members of the expedition behind him, Xu Jiu took a step forward and leaned in the direction of the sound. He quickly found a pool in the middle of the grotto that hadn’t dried up. He also saw the squat. The monster by the pool.

At this time, it is dying, half of its arms are soaked in the water. What makes Xu Jiu quite concerned is that the wound that madeleine opened before now shows a somewhat healed state, and the surrounding area is contaminated. There are a lot of water stains.

"Is it trying to save itself with the water in this pool?"

Zheng Yi, who followed behind, saw the scene in front of Xu Jiu, and realized the monster's intentions. He was surprised. Asked.

"I’m afraid so, why do they build so many pools here, so that they can’t take a bath... Zheng Yi, can you perceive whether the water in this pool contains Evil energy."

Xu Jiu doesn’t think that the people of the relic civilization would love to be clean enough to build an underground bathhouse at this location close to a kilometer from the surface. Besides, this monster has to be indifferent to the point. Would you think of using groundwater to recover from injuries?

"The water is full of evil energy!"

He picked up a handful of water, and still slipped from his fingers, Zheng Yi tightened his brows, said solemnly.

"That's right, it knows that there is a pond full of evil energy, and the water in it can repair wounds..."

Between words, Xu Jiu moved his gaze upwards, looking towards a stalactite hanging from the top of the pool, with drops of water dripping from the tip.

Activate the Shock Step ability, raise your hand to evoke a whirl, and cut off the soil on the surface of the stalactite.

Sure enough, it began to reveal the same crystal pillars as the crystal stone clusters between the rock walls on the road before.

"This may be a place to fetch water. When we came along, we basically determined that there was no river nearby. The distance from the ground was destined to be impossible for direct transportation. The way to fetch water from the ground was cut off. The only thing left is the underground river."

Albert observed the surrounding environment and came to his own conclusion, paused, and then said,

"The water may come from the mountains. The underground river at this Gu, the evil energy spilled from the seal land erodes the river water, and the water flowing out here will naturally be affected accordingly."

Xu Jiu next to him did not respond, just looking at the stalactites Fell silent.

Xu Jiu has to admit that the water extraction function mentioned by Albert may indeed be one of the reasons why the people of the relic civilization established here, but intuitively tells him that this is by no means the main reason!

The pool in front of you, the stalactites on the top and the way of storing water...

If you say it’s just to fetch water, why bother to build so many pools, let alone This way of storing water drop by drop, isn't it making it difficult for yourself to be fed up?

One more thing.

As the crystal pillar of the stalactite body, Xu Jiu knows the energy contained in it better than anyone else. The first piece that was broken in the passage just now, even if it is extremely weak, is still in it. Perceived the energy similar to the crystal of sage.

Even if the sage crystal in the chest cannot absorb the energy in it, Xu Jiu still realizes that before being corroded by evil energy, this water is not ordinary groundwater!

Across the monster’s corpse, Xu Jiu’s eyes patted around in the cave. He didn’t think there were only these pools here, and there were probably other equipment stored here, at least on the heart of the monster’s body. Inscription related equipment.

Facts prove that Xu Jiu's guess is accurate.

When the expedition team leaned toward the depths of the grotto, Xu Jiu, who was walking at the forefront, saw a special platform in the area opposite to the main entrance when he came. The equipment and the operating table in the center...

Here is a laboratory left by relic civilization!
