Fast Forward To 3077

Gu~hu~

Weird roars echoed in the cave.

Weirdos jumped and rushed in the forest. Their unusually strong hind limbs greatly strengthened their jumping ability. With the help of nearby stone trees and stone pillars, they kept rising while moving forward. The yellow abscessed eyes stared at the rays of light on the front platform.

Not far from the front, giant beasts have also appeared. Unlike the weird roundabouts, these monsters, which are more than ten meters high, do not make any detours. bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl, constantly opening and closing, thick and long tongue threw away salivation.

Enduring darkness and loneliness for an unknown period of time makes these monsters extremely sensitive to even the slightest light and the breath of creatures. They madly want to rush over, tear up the fresh creatures, and put them inside. Hot blood poured on his cold body.

It seems that only in this way can they feel their existence.

The inevitable outbreak of battle!

The upward elevator started again. The passengers at this time were replaced by AIB colonels and secret society secretaries. All the Cicada Moult Level apostles were left to defend against the monsters' siege.

In order to attract the attention of monsters and prevent them from directly attacking the elevator passage, Xu Jiu specially throws a Fireball to the sky.

The rest of the people stood still and cooperated with each other.

Zheng Yi sprinkled more than a dozen seeds, and the moss on the edge of the platform quickly grew out of a fire-red plant that looked like a dragon's head, and continuously spewed out Fireball to accurately kill the strange weirs that approached.

Compared with Xu Jiu’s Flame Fist, the flames emitted by these plants are undoubtedly weaker by several grades. Many of the weird ones that have been knocked down rolled around on the ground and started to climb again with the flames. Climbing the platform.

However, before they could go up, several chains of energy rushed down and shot down all these monsters, forming a line of defense.

Occasionally, someone who jumped over against the stony trees was solved by Madeleine, who was standing on the side of the platform with a knife, and the storm formed by the sword blade kept shattering them into the sky. The stump of the broken arm spilled out.

With the cooperation of the three Cicada Moult Level apostles, it is not difficult to deal with these weirdness. Their characteristics are nothing more than solid skin and rapid recovery. The strength is at most a sudden intermediate level. The only trouble is There is too much!

Often more than a dozen fell, and then dozens of them would be rushed out in the dark, limited by the environment in the cave, Zheng Yi and the others could not fight with all their strength, in case it caused The movement is too big, attracting the giant worms before, that is the real trouble.

On the other side, the battle situation is undoubtedly much fiercer. In order to prevent the giant beasts from approaching, Xu Jiu rushed directly into the pile of dozens of giant beasts and swung towards all directions. The sharp claw of the dodge, wave the knife again and again, cut them off.

The giant beast, who was "heavyly wounded", did not retreat in the face of this attack, shaking the remaining half of his arm, recasting his flesh and blood in a very short period of time, and then culled to Xu again. Jiu.

'Obviously, it has been soaked by evil energy, but crystal stone energy is used to recover the wound. '

Xu Jiu did not continue to use long-range bombardment but chose to observe closely. There is a natural reason. He wants to know how these giant beasts can recover and whether they can provide instant energy replenishment.

Therefore, in addition to the giant beasts and elevator channels when attacking, Xu Jiu has more choices to cut off their arms or thighs, and then observe the follow-up reactions of these giant beasts.

Facts have proved that they cannot actively absorb the crystal stone energy and evil energy in the surrounding environment. They can only accept it passively, and they may no longer accept the crystal stone energy.

This means that as long as the crystal stone energy in the body is used up, the recovery ability of these monsters will immediately decrease to a normal state, and because of their particularity, they cannot be blessed by evil energy and die. It also died, and there is no probability of resurrection.

Of course, like monsters, they have the ability to strengthen themselves by devouring flesh and blood, and the formidable power is not small. After eating monsters and similar corpses, the skins of these giant beasts are without exception. With the emergence of red light, both speed and power have been improved.

It’s just that in the face of Xu Jiu, these giant beasts are obviously not enough to look at. This makes the former a little confused for a while. It stands to reason that the ruins civilization built these monsters to guard the sealed temple. What is the strength? All should have the level of Invader Grade.

After several battles, they obviously didn't reach this level, and the curse marks imprinted in their bodies didn't seem to have played their due role.

This is a bit strange.

Could it be said that the conflict between crystal stone energy and evil energy consumes their power?

This seems to be the only explanation at the moment.

No matter what, under the cooperative defense of everyone, the monsters' siege momentum was blocked outside, and the elevator channel was also preserved, but the elevator that just went up has not come down.

This made Xu Jiu and the others clouded their hearts when they were dealing with the monsters.

In case, the other end of this ascending channel is not directly through the surface as expected, but another cave full of monsters. With the strength of the first group of expedition members in the past, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to survive successfully. Big.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. After waiting for about five minutes, the familiar sound of machine operation reverberated in the passage.

"Report sir, there is a material storage room above, and there seems to be an exit to the surface!"

Okov stood inside the elevator and saw the horror outside , The busy report.

"You go first, I will take it here... Don't worry, this elevator will only go once, and I will fly!"

The most important thing now is It is to leave this crypt. When Zheng Yi and the others leave, Xu Jiu can't retreat too much.

The expedition can come here, naturally there are no stupid people, and no one mentions the shit thinking of "going together". Zheng Yi took the lead and walked into the passage and quickly left the cave.

Xu Jiu, who stayed alone in the center of the platform, looked at the weird and giant beasts surrounding on both sides, and retracted the Ascendant Light into the scabbard.

The observations just now made him roughly verify what he thought in his mind, then there was nothing to delay, his body sank suddenly, and his hands clenched his fists and smashed them to the sides.

bang!

The space crack opened on its own side, and the invisible shock wave violently spread, shaking the monster around the platform and the stony forest as much as possible.

Xu Jiu jumped onto the lifting channel and walked slowly towards a higher place. Two dim-blue flames entangled on both sides of the channel, and all the spirit slowly recovers wanted to continue to besieged monsters. Flogged back, and Xu Jiu's gaze was subconsciously directed at the building he had discovered before Zheng Yi and the others came here.

A distance of a hundred meters, with the light of fire, Xu Jiu stared at the diamond-shaped metal column that was incompatible with the surrounding stone environment, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.

Do you think the diamond-shaped metal pillar is familiar?

Yes, some time ago Xu Jiu had seen exactly the same thing in Lingxing world, but the diamond-shaped metal pillars at that time were hidden in another space, and here was directly standing on the stone. In the qualitative forest.

The experience in the spiritual awakening world made Xu Jiu immediately think of the special array of sealed evil spirits when he saw it.

Think about it, that many diamond-shaped metal pillars in Lingxue world are relics of civilization built to seal evil spirits. They have been effective after so many years. Obviously, this is already a mature technology system. There is no reason for them. Here we must give up this way of suppressing evil.

In other words, since the former civilization has completed the construction of the array here and suppressed evil for so long, it means that the crystal stone fragments are likely to be in the vicinity!

Xu Jiu has just observed the diamond-shaped metal column. Its appearance is different from the metal column with crystal stone shards he has seen in Lingxing world. Obviously it should only be the whole array. It serves as an auxiliary existence instead of a real core metal pillar.

Because of this, Xu Jiu chose to return immediately when he sensed that Zheng Yi and the others were about to arrive. Before finding the crystal stone fragments, the existence of the diamond-shaped metal pillars could not be exposed.

Attention returns to the passage under your feet. As the elevator enters the other side of the rock wall, Xu Jiu's defense mission comes to an end.

Invite flames to melt the channel shell connecting the rock wall.

Xu Jiu drilled into it and activated the ability to give spirits to activate the rock and completely seal the hole, in order to prevent the strange monsters from chasing and killing along the passage.

No fresh blood food was left, and only giant beasts and weirdness remained in the cave.

Lost the goal, the madness that has nowhere to vent makes them cast their bloodthirsty gazes at each other in unison. There is no accident, only ten seconds later, the two groups of monsters who were still working together before. Start the chaotic fight again.

However, before the flames of war spread, the stone pillars standing all over the cave cracked with a large number of cracks. The silver white material showed some corners, and the special aura overflowed.

The battle between monsters was once again pressed the pause button.

It's just that this time is not because I found a common goal, but because I started to flee without looking back.

Even these monsters, which have been eroded thoroughly by evil energy, still have fear engraved in their instincts...

Successfully get rid of the monster in the crypt, Xu With Shock Step, Jiu easily shuttles through the lift channel.

Compared with the journey underneath, this lift channel that goes straight to the surface is significantly longer and has a steeper slope.

No wonder the first batch of people took a lot of time.

Across the empty elevator, they saw Zheng Yi and the others who were taking a rest. They saw Xu Jiu appear intact and relaxed.

Different from the previous caves, although the space where the expedition team is currently located is still a cave, the interior has obviously undergone more detailed renovations. A large number of collapsed wooden boxes and some pickaxes are stacked on the wall. Tools used in engineering construction, such as shovel.

After a cursory glance, Xu Jiu quickly realized that these tools were most likely to serve the construction of the temple, which meant that they were not far from the sealed land where the temple was located.

The two groups of monsters suddenly encountered in the cave caused a lot of trouble for the expedition.

However, the elevator channel accidentally discovered in the process undoubtedly shortened the expedition’s journey back to the surface.

After a short search, Madeleine found a staircase leading to a higher place on the side of the room. After telling the rest of the expedition team, she dived up to check the situation by herself, and returned after a few minutes.

"One good news, one bad news."

Madeline took the special energy drink from Zong Ze and took a sip in her mouth, her face flushed slightly. , Took a sigh of relief. The somewhat tired face had improved a lot because of the previous battle. Then he continued,

"The good news is that the end of this passage should be the seal, and there is a An iron door, I confirmed this through a gap. The bad news is that the outside environment is not very good, it has thick fog, and the sky is very gloomy."

The voice fell, and everyone turned their eyes to Zheng Yi. , Xu Jiu is no exception.

No way, only Zheng Yi was present at the seal.

Others have no idea about the situation in the sealed land, and he has to arrange the specific actions.

"It’s five o’clock in the afternoon. It seems we’ve wasted a lot of time at the bottom of the valley, but it’s still in the plan, at least not late at night... Madeleine, you are here Did you see the traces of the last group of expedition members while observing?"

Zheng Yi took off his backpack and took out a map from it, paused, or forbearance. Can't help but ask.

In addition to the mission of reseal evil, rescue the members of the previous expedition is also one of the goals.

Even everyone present knows that they may be bode ill rather than well, but they still hold the idea of ​​"what if", hoping to get something back.

"Sorry, the visual range is too small, I can't see the deeper situation."

Because it was alone who went out to investigate, for safety reasons, Madeleine did not step out of the iron The door, the area that can be observed is limited, and with the cover of dense fog, her extraordinary ability is not on the eyes.

Zheng Yi nodded, did not say much, but spread the map on the open space.

This map was drawn after he woke up in the hospital based on the memory in his mind. From the outside, the entire seal area should be a basin between mountains, surrounded by towering mountain ranges on both sides , The temple that seals the evil spirits is right in the center.

Because he was in a coma for almost half a month, Zheng Yi couldn't recall the specific details. He could only record the things that left him a deep impression. Among them, Xu Jiu looked very familiar.

"What do these diamond-shaped squares represent?"

Raise your finger to the diamond-shaped squares that are obviously arranged in a specific pattern around the temple, and immediately Xu Jiu sees them. Guessed these all are diamond-shaped metal pillars, but pretended not to know, and wanted to test out more information.

"It should be an energy supply device...I mean that the temple’s seal of evil is not just to build some special buildings or to carve a few arrays, but to adopt a very special The method, based on the investigation and follow-up discussion when we first came here, we believe that the relic civilization has arranged a huge array around it, linking the terrain, space, and environment around here to achieve the effect of sealing evil."

Zheng Yi's finger slid between the diamond-shaped squares, and the content mentioned in the conversation made Xu Jiu next to him feel awe-inspiring.

Facts have proved that there is no shortage of smart people in this world. There are obviously people in AIB and Secret Society who have a good understanding of the heritage civilization. Even if they have not really experienced the scene, they can use some details to infer the personal experience of Xu Jiu Secret information that only people know.

"The appearance of the dense fog is by no means an accident. The evil energy outside the valley is so strong that there is no reason that the temple surroundings will not be affected, so I am more inclined to artificially exist around the temple. It’s weird, what we have to do is to rush into the temple as fast as possible."

The fingertip of the index finger wiped the ground, stained with some dirt, and Zheng Yi was in some places around the temple. There is a mark on the sign,

"The places I have marked are traps set up by the relic civilization in the seal area, among which is included an energy array for automatic counterattack, mechanical puppets and other countermeasures. The intruder’s stuff, because we are not sure where we are now, we can only remind everyone in advance. If you encounter unusual things along the way, avoid them as much as possible. If you can’t avoid them, you should remind others immediately."

When the ruins civilization built this temple, it was naturally not regarded as a place where anyone could come. The war in the abyss proved that they had considered the possible threats for a long time, so they were in the seal land. It is normal to install various defense facilities inside.

Fortunately, many things have been tempted during the last expedition, and they have lost their concealment. Everyone can take precautions in advance.

After arranging the next actions, the expedition team began its final rest.

Xu Jiu leaned against the wall beside the passage, drank the last remaining broth in the thermos, and thought about his actions later, more of the diamond-shaped crystal stone pillars in his mind.

If the entire sealed land is shrouded in an array of seals, then the temple is undoubtedly the absolute core.

In this case, will crystal stone fragments appear in it?

The not-so-eager atmosphere became a little urgent after Xu Jiu fell silent.

Everyone knows that the most dangerous stage of this journey is coming, and the next is the key to the success or failure of the action.

Re-tied the white long hair that had been scattered in the previous battle, Madeleine glanced at Xu Jiu, her lips squirmed a few times, but she still didn’t open her mouth, and instead took out a crystal stone, a light gray stone. Sharpen the longblade.

Each time it is sharpened, a lot of stone dust will fall on the stone, and a layer of sharp blades gradually appears on the blade.

Boo~

When the cap of the medicine bottle is opened, there is a light sound. Albert looks at the liquid medicine in a weird color. A translucent energy chain surrounds the body faintly discernible.

The enhancement of spirit strength makes the earth and rocks around him float up and down.

The three colonels each hold the source stone in their hands, and constantly install them on the equipment of the arms and legs, adjusting the output mode.

The occultists sat together, chanting some kind of obscure incantion in a low voice, and finally each drank the potions that Secret Society had prepared for them in advance. In an instant, everyone’s foreheads appeared. Light blue fluorescence, round pupils outlined by energy lines emerge on it.

Zheng Yi sat alone in the shadow of the room. He did not make any preparations. He just stared down at a pocket watch-like object in his hand with a photo embedded in it and a dignified woman on it. people.

He took a long breath and got up abruptly.

Following Zheng Yi's actions, everyone on the expedition team was excited and gathered together.

"Everyone...go!"

I wanted to say a few words to cheer everyone up, but I could see the determination of the team members, Zheng Yizhong nodded, said solemnly.
