Above The Sky

The long tunnel exploration continued for a while.

Because the team of Flying Flames has no prophetic power and no silver chip to record the map, they need to use various detection instruments to detect the different forks of the corridor, and use sound waves, water flow dyeing, etc. to detect and inscribe marks. Not high, and very cumbersome.

The most terrifying thing is that there are many corridors that seem to lead into the distance, and after the twists and turns, they will return to the main corridor - it is a giant 'u'-shaped structure, which is very shocking when it appears. enthusiasm.

After a period of time, even the cultivators of the Spiritual Artifact Church had whispered discussions, and the captain who had the patience to hide in the jungle for several days without moving was also a little anxious.

——This exploration was purely accidental, not planned.

For him, danger and boredom are small things, and the most important thing is that it deviates from the plan.

And...he was instinctively uneasy about this place.

"So far, we have been exploring for more than five hours, but we haven't seen the remains of the civilization of the epoch a little while ago."

"The ruins definitely exist, but did the group of natives really give us the right way?"

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the cultivator team, frowning and asking: "Or is their news also invalid? After all, they left the 'Holy Land' for no one thousand or eight hundred years. Are the records they left really reliable?"

"This is just around the entrance of the pre-epoch civilization. We should be right next to the official entrance, or even deep."

The leading female monk with an artificial voice line calmly explained that they were recording the map route: "The local aborigines did not deceive us. In fact, Captain, you are also very clear that there is such a large cavity in the ground. Karst caves and ecological circles are almost the same as those on the ground, if you hadn’t seen this with your own eyes, would you believe it?”

This is indeed true. Although the captain still felt uneasy in his heart, he could only admit it.

In the final analysis, this is also due to the fact that the special operations team of Flying Flames has suffered repeated setbacks in the recent period.

A few days ago, a group of trained natives went beyond their permission and attacked a white boy from Harrison Harbor under the instructions of the great shaman... They said that the other party was the mortal enemy of the tribe, and the reason for their defeat six years ago.

Whether it's true or not, in the final analysis, it's just a fourteen-year-old child. Where do you need so many people?

As a result, this group of hunters happened to bump into the guards of the Ellen family, and they were all wiped out, not to mention their support!

Harrison Harbor's defense is much tighter to the naked eye, even if they were almost caught, they could only lead a team to the sea disguised as a merchant ship to avoid the limelight.

Who would have thought that this could be unexpected... The South China Sea mutation directly involved all of them.

It can be said that they have long known the existence of their 'Holy Land' from the natives, and recalled the guidance of the great native shaman. The gap, and then most of the complete instruments and equipment can be preserved and entered into the underground ruins group.

Otherwise, if you fall in from the big gap, even people can be safe under the buffer of the current, but the ships and equipment will definitely be destroyed.

The captain is very clear that his mission is not to explore the indigenous holy land.

However, the Spiritual Artifact Church is different.

The purpose of this group of spiritual tool monks from the Royal Technical Institute of Flying Flame Land is to come here for the indigenous holy land.

Or, for the 'pre-epoch civilization relics'!

The Spiritual Tool Church is the most enthusiastic orthodox church in the entire Terra Continent, and is also the most active in the exploration of the ruins of the pre-epoch. In order to pursue the so-called 'ascension', they have collected almost all the records and documents of the pre-epoch civilization on the earth. .

This time, after obtaining the 'indigenous holy land' reported by the team leader and others, the Spiritual Tool Church found out the relevant records of the pre-epoch civilization from the literature-the records showed that there was a person in this place even in the pre-epoch civilization period. The crucial super-giant base, in the words of the current era, is the 'super-giant relic group'.

Because it is only a suspicion rather than a certainty, the Spirit Artifact Religion did not directly dispatch a cultivator group, but even if it was a 'rumour', they also sent a Steel Eye cultivator and two watch knights to assist the team leader to carry out Explore locally.

"Now, the ruins have indeed been proven to exist, but the great shaman is dead."

Looking around at the various caves and roads leading in all directions, the Red People's Captain couldn't help sighing: "Without a guide, this kind of exploration is too inefficient... and too dangerous."

But just when the captain was so contemplative, an extremely shrill scream suddenly broke out.

Everyone in Fei Yandi was startled, and immediately rectified the team and launched a defensive formation. Some of the mobile forces looked in the direction of the screams, and the team's actions should be very orderly.

And just when they turned their attention to the place where the screams occurred, even the captain, who was used to seeing life and death, felt his whole body explode and his scalp tingled.

A scout who was marking the cave on the left was making marks on the wall with a knife. As a result, a slender and sticky tentacle was protruding from the crevice of the cave on the side, and the whole person was forced to move towards that one. Squeezing and pulling in the small gap, the entire arm is about to be pulled down like this, squeezing it into a bloody piece.

But what really surprised the captain was not this, but the tentacle—the tentacle was full of weird potholes and pustular sores, and the thick mucus was full of dense blue fluttering around. The color bugs give people a feeling of extreme disgust and danger.

The faint blue worms wriggled, and even had a protoplasmic reaction. The tentacles slammed into force, and instantly ripped off the scout's arm, bringing with it the blood of the big puffs. At the same time, the faint blue bug did not enter the scout's wound.

"Fire!"

The battalion commander gave a stern order, and the soldiers opened fire immediately—instantly, bullets packed with violent force broke through the air, and shot towards the rock wall where the tentacles were located like hailstones.

Boom boom boom! The sturdy water-plastic rock wall collapsed immediately under the impact of the terrifying bullet, exposing the cavity behind the rock wall-a giant black octopus with a length of more than three meters, not counting the tentacles, was crawling in the cavity. , nibbling away at the scout's arm with his mouthparts.

In the eyes of the octopus as big as light bulbs, the faint blue light is extremely bright, but if you look closely, you can find that all those lights are gathered by small insects, just like faint fireflies.

Numerous bullets blazed towards it, like a violent rainstorm.

Whoosh whoosh!

Many bullets hit the giant chapter of the monster level, causing ripples, but they did not penetrate. All the impact force was taken over by the water-flexible muscles, resolved and released.

Aware of the attack, Ju Zhang jumped up, tore open the rocks that had hidden his figure, and dashed forward.

This rush is like a missile, slamming straight into the crowd, and it will splash countless 'splashes'.

But a knight in full body armor who had been watching the situation with a giant metal shield stepped forward without hesitation - he raised his shield and started to charge as well, his heavy footsteps shook the ground, making him as if he was standing on the ground Chariots marching.

boom!

The giant shield knight and the giant chapter collided head-on, but it was the larger giant chapter that was knocked away. Although it looked huge, most of its body was composed of cavitation and water. Looking at the knight, the earth element inheritance of cultivation made him It can exert far more power than usual in the ground, and its armor and shields add up to more than half a ton, and its center of gravity is extremely solid.

However, Juzhang was not seriously injured. Its whole body is flexible, boneless and slippery. It is completely unbearable. Seeing that the situation is wrong, he plans to fly into the cave to escape for his life, and sprays a large area of ​​dark blue behind him. The dense fog confuses sight.

These means are enough to deal with ordinary people, but for the professional members of the Flying Flames Special Forces, it is still a little bit meaningless.

The captain took a step forward, and he drew his sword and stabbed straight in the air. Immediately, a wind pressure blade that rapidly expanded and contracted and entangled with each other had swept away the ink mist and shrouded it down, and a flaming alchemy bullet also came from the air. The specially made firearms were inspired, and the latter came first, hitting the giant chapter.

Bang! In an instant, Rushui Juzhang, which was not affected by bullets at all, made a strange scratching sound. A small part of it was shattered by the alchemy bullets that turned into flames, and the rest were struggling and squirming to put out the fire, but this Captain Shi's wind pressure sword hit it, and instantly tore it into hundreds of pieces of flesh and blood of different sizes.

"Stop!"

Seeing that the demon beast had been killed, the medical team on the side wanted to rescue the wounded, but the captain said with a very bad expression: "Don't approach! Pay attention to the blue water on the ground, and block it all!"

"Vicha, can you hear me? Answer if you can!"

The captain's order stopped everyone, but everyone looked at the scout with worried eyes.

"Cough... huh... uh..."

When his name was called, the scout who was lying on the ground twitching coughed and got up slowly.

Just when the captain's face relaxed a little, the scout turned his head, again shocking everyone.

During this short exchange of fire, the scout was already covered with blue spots, his eyes were spinning rapidly in an asymmetrical manner, his tongue was stretched out desperately, and his entire face was distorted and not humanoid.

He was coughing up blood and a lot of tissue secretions, and his body was twitching and twisting extremely abnormally.

Vaguely visible, on the inside of the scout's scalp, there are groups of 'things' that are squirming bulgingly, as if earthworms are shuttled through the soil.

"It's an unknown parasite! Burn it with fire!"

Clenching the long sword in his hand, the captain's face turned ashen, and under his instructions, a spirit weapon nun with a spout walked out of the monk team on the side.

She turned on the equipment silently, and a blue-white flame swept across the cave in front of her.

The clean holy fire completely blew out the oxygen, and the troops not far away felt obvious hypoxia.

After more than ten seconds, she closed the spout and returned to the team, and the cave in front of her had been burnt dry. Both the scout's body and the giant chapter were burned into a coke, exuding a strange barbecue smell.

"Excuse me, let me check the situation."

Immediately afterwards, the cultivator leader who followed the brigade leader, the steel nun stepped forward to check.

The face of the female cultivator was shrouded in a specially made gas mask, while her eyes were extremely obvious man-made objects with a gem quality.

But now, the jewel-like eyes were blooming like flowers, revealing the bright observation crystals inside them.

Two beams shot out, illuminating the body that was still wriggling and almost turned into coke.

This gem-like artificial eye is the exclusive feature of the 'Eye of the Sleepless' among the two major factions of the Spiritual Tool Church.

The Spiritual Tool Church is extremely good at, or in other words, it advocates the use of artificial organs to replace its own body tissue, leaving only the most critical brain and brain marrow, or even just the neocortex... But perhaps because of the lack of physical restraints, the Spiritual Tool Church has The number of psionicists is extremely large, second only to the Huaiguang Church, which needs to abide by the oath and creed.

At this moment, the nun of the Sleepless Eye is using her own psionic energy and psychic apparatus for inspection and observation.
