  Chapter 292 Huaiguang Prophet (43, 1w1 update!)

  As Master Goser said, the rock shell is about to collapse.

  Ian raised his head, and he saw dense cracks spreading on the crystalline rock crust above his head, like tree branches, making disturbing creaking sounds.

  However, behind the collapsed crystalline rock shell, a part of the giant steel structure and the fragile rock formations around the giant structure are exposed.

  —The crystalline rock crust is an acquired structure that covers it... This place is not a completely natural rock formation!

"I see!"

  The young man came to a sudden, he finally figured out what was going on in this rift valley: "The entire rift valley area is a cooling interface! These densely packed rivers extending in all directions are all cooling pipes from back then!"

  From the very beginning, Ian felt that the terrain of this place was abnormal, not at all like a rift valley eroded out by the day after tomorrow.

  Theoretically speaking, there should be only one channel for viewing and watching the running water here, which is the channel that everyone in Feiyandi walked through before, and the others are cooling channels.

   But in the end, it was artificially widened and a huge insect nest was built.

The part where the insect nest is located was originally supposed to be a small purification device. After purifying a small part of the hot water, it will be sent out as ornamental running water to surround the entire base, while most of the other hot water will flow along the 'ψ The 'shaped pipeline is transferred to the cooling area, which is where the ice abyss of the relic is located, and then the pipeline of the ice abyss of the relic is transmitted to all the energy groups around the base as cooling water, and the cycle is repeated like this.

But as the relic system said, part of the power pack has been damaged, causing the cooling water to be polluted, and now it is absorbed by the mother worm as an energy source... Now that there is no one in the Sequoia Base, this kind of polluted water does not matter at all. Go cool down, AI should be able to make this judgment.

  But the system has been tampered with by the Great Elder, and has never been able to respond to this incident.

  The insect nest removed the purification device and stuck the giant gate at the bottom, and then absorbed the energy and radiation in the cooling water.

  The stuck Sequoia base cooling valve had a bug. It should be in a special situation of 'neither open nor closed'. It cannot be controlled by the remote control system, and the process can only be continued manually.

   But who can complete the process under the attack of the hive? The former giant golden centipede should have been one of the maintainers, but it was still parasitized by brain-eating worms. It has been wandering in the ruins for many years. After the worm nest recovered, it became a tool for the mother worm.

  The heat dissipation system of the entire ruins is therefore abnormal, just like the original intention of the BUG—just a little bug can cause the huge base to fail to operate, and some internal modifications have caused the entire system to shut down.

In essence, the rift is a cooling port that is not fully closed. The entire insect nest itself should be an extremely important "control device", a biological computer that has been "hacking the system" for so many years, affecting the Sequoia base. The judgment of the automatic control system on this place.

  At this moment, Ian looked in the direction where the giant beast was fighting.

The fighting of the crystallized dragon, the giant eel, and the female worm was earth-shattering. Even if these giant beasts collide with each other here, they can have a certain impact on the geological structure, not to mention the area that was originally artificially shaped—the two sides of the rift are already like dominoes The same continued to collapse, and the rock shell above the head also continued to fall.

  The collapse of the rock shell will not cause any damage to the heat dissipation interaction valve and the insect nest, just like spreading a handful of sand can only cover them at most.

   But the problem is, in this way, there is no way to blast the insect nest, so that the interactive interface can continue to operate!

   After all, the mother brain-eating worm was re-bred by various coincidences decades ago. This nest is not big, and it is easy to be destroyed and covered up.

  Ian also understood why the White Mist Church attacked all monsters and forced them to retreat.

  Because what he has to do is to avoid any impact on the bottom layer here, so that the insect nest will not be covered by many sandy rocks and protected.

   "I'm going to destroy the nest now."

   Immediately got up, Ian knew that there was no time to hesitate now, he picked up the explosive bag and carried it on his back, ready to go to the insect nest immediately.

  Anyway, the Bishop of White Mist and the Crystal Dragon are entangled with the female worm, so the situation is considered safe.

"it is good."

   And Isengard did not hesitate, he gave Ian another bottle of his own blood, although his face was pale, but his expression was firm: "Be careful and safe, we will support you with artillery here..."

"Remember to drink the potion." Master Gesai was still debugging the alchemy module of the artillery. At this critical moment, he didn't talk nonsense: "I just thought that when using those explosives, you can use your 'that' inheritance to make With a cone-shaped structure, the destructive power of the explosives can be concentrated, which is more permeable!"

   That inheritance is naturally the Shakai apprentice, and Master Gosser naturally did not tell him Ian's identity. That is not a good thing, but will harm the other party.

   "Yes." Ian nodded seriously, of course he knows how the structure of the armor-piercing projectile can shape explosives.

  He stepped forward, jumped down towards the bottom of the rift valley, urged the fairy wings, and moved towards the insect nest like lightning.

   But this action was also discovered by Patrick.

   "You guys are actually here!"

   Aware of his goal, the blond nobleman was stunned for a moment, but was followed by ecstasy—he thought that he would definitely fail this mission, but he never thought that Ian and the others were actually here.

  He turned his head and noticed Isengard and Master Gosse on the other side. The man's eyes were complicated, but he had already made up his mind.

  Patrick naturally wanted to stop Ian and the others from taking action...no matter what the other party wanted to do, he would stop it.

  Even if you are definitely unable to live, you must at least die together.

  However, just when Patrick was about to attack Ian and the others, Bishop Baiwu kept standing in front of him, and Ian ran even faster after seeing the actions of the blond nobleman.

   Even Master Goser and Isengard began to take out various alchemy potions and began to use the buff state in front of him.

   "Don't stop me, old man!"

   Being blocked by Bishop White Mist one after another, Patrick yelled angrily, but he was emotionally excited, but he showed fighting skills that he had never shown before.

  In other words, he learned from his friend, Viscount Grant's skills in order to stop him.

brush!

Electricity flickered all over his body, and he charged in midair. The mithril rapier in his hand struck towards Bishop Baiwu like a thunderbolt, making the old man have to dodge—but this bishop Huaiguang was extremely skilled in combat, and he was skilled and bold. While dodging sideways, he still reached out and pressed Patrick's side waist.

  In the next moment, the majestic source of life will form an explosion, knocking Patrick back. Although this will not hurt the opponent protected by the An Huazi strain, it is enough to give Ian a chance to continue his actions.

  But what no one expected was that Bishop Baiwu's powerful palm hit directly through the black flesh-and-blood clothing.

  —It is empty inside.

  Until this moment, the old man showed a slightly stunned expression. He took a closer look and found that Patrick was moving so fast just now that he even formed a phantom and flew towards the other side.

   What he hit was indeed the Ether Armor An Huazizhu, but it was only the Ether Armor, and the "wearer" in it had already detached from the side and was flying towards Ian.

   It's like a worm that has shed its shell.

  Wow!

Anhua, who had lost its wearer and entered the form of erosion, entangled the right arm that Bishop Baiwu pierced through it, although before it was about to invade the flesh and blood, the old man quickly isolated it from his body with his own source quality, But he was also, indeed, entangled.

  Even because of compatibility issues, this ether-armed sub-strain seems to be a little more difficult to deal with than when Patrick was wearing it.

  —No way to help? It was so decisive.

Bishop Baiwu didn't expect that someone would give up the ether armament, but he didn't know that Anhuazizhu could not pose a threat to Ian and Isengard, so he had a very high evaluation of Patrick's decisiveness: "If this is the case, there is no way gone."

   "Light of Huaiguang—Apply for the use of psionic power—[Psychic power] and [Spiritual communication]."

  In an instant, two concentric circles of light, one blue and one gold, lit up in his eyes.

  The blue light flickered, and Patrick's figure froze visibly to the naked eye, and the invisible force bound his body.

And at the same time, a faint old man's voice came from Ian's heart: [Ian, I am Bai Wu, the bishop of the Huaiguang Church in Port Harrison, and I know that there is a situation here that will cause the situation in Nanling to deteriorate in the future, and even The 'source of disaster' that caused a huge crisis to the entire world, so it has been looking for a way to enter the ruins. 】

  【After on-the-spot investigation, I am sure that the huge lair in front of you and me is where the 'source of disasters in heaven and earth' is located in the church prophecy book. I realize that you also want to destroy it, but I must remind you that the real source of disaster is not the lair itself, but a will in this lair. 】

  Because it is the communication of consciousness, everything is just a moment.

  —The prophecy written by Bishop Baiwu? The church does have prophetic psykers.

  Ian sensed that someone was talking to him with psychic energy. He was no stranger to this feeling. He had a conversation with Wiggs once back then, so he immediately replied: "Isn't will the worm mother?"

   "What's more, if it is really such a terrible source of disasters in the world, why don't you send more priests to destroy it?"

  【No, the worm mother is just a tool of that will, a derivative of its maliciousness. Although I don't know the reason, the news I received told me so. 】

And Bishop Baiwu calmly replied: [The will must be destroyed in order to completely destroy the insect nest, otherwise, its echo will linger in the control system of the ruins, and it will take a long time to dissipate. This cycle of natural disasters will continue. 】

[However, if we do not even eliminate the worm nest and worm mother, a terrible disaster will befall the Terra continent, which is a disaster for all living beings...Of course, it may not be so terrible, the prophecy gives There are two possibilities, one is harmless and one is enough to destroy the world, but we don't know why, which is rare and we have never encountered such a situation before. 】

  【As for why not send more priests, the answer is actually very simple. 】

  【Because this world is full of various causes of destruction, this place is not the most important one. The apostles of Huaiguang are scattered all over the land, and they have their own missions when they walk and stay. 】

  【The only certainty is that our current strength is sufficient to stop all of this, as long as we handle it properly. 】

  Bishop Bishop's voice was clearly denied, and unexpectedly confident—this kind of inexplicable confidence Ian is very familiar with.

   That is obvious, derived from the self-confidence of the prophet.

   No need to guess, it was the prophecy psychic inheritor in the Huaiguang Church who foreshadowed the disaster in Nanling and told Bishop Baiwu that everyone today can prevent future disasters.

As for why the other party can't predict the reason, it may be because Ian is also a prophet, and he is involved in this matter... It is impossible for a prophet to predict each other. Even if they can, there will be many more vague elements, making the prophet Nor can he see the future through his own abilities.

   Moreover, the prediction of the Huaiguang Church is different from Ian's prophetic vision. It can actually directly reveal the source of the source of the disaster and the level of power required to solve it, but other than that, there is no redundant information.

The method and tendency of each prophet are different. Huaiguang's side is obviously the one with only the result but no process. Presumably the person who has awakened this kind of prediction ability simply wants to know what the world will encounter in the future. What disasters, and put an end to these disasters as soon as possible.

   Therefore, Bishop Baiwu can only use his own method to collect clues and reach the interior of the ruins to investigate, in order to know the reason.

   And the words of the old man also made Ian fall into deep thought: "The female worm is just a tool of that will? Let me think about it, the brain-eating worm was originally a brain-attached slug...a brain-attached..."

"Could it be that?!"

  Ian was taken aback. He looked at the worm nest with blank eyes: "The will of the Great Elder is still alive?"

   "No, it's impossible... His soul is dead!"

   "However, if it's an echo... a creature with an echo of the Great Elder's memory!"

  At this moment, the vision of prescience swept across the entire lair.

  Ian did indeed see a breath of life.

  A dark blue mist quietly located in the center of the lair!
