Chapter 216 Contact
Following the lead of the Heavenly King Mecha, the other mechas flew along the outer path of the super castle, heading straight from Gate No. 1 to Gate No. 7 at the end.
Then, continue to go deeper and come to other junctions between the inner seven districts and other districts.
During the process, Li Yi asked:
"Excuse me, officers. What is the next division under this bloody battle zone?"
Chen Yanzhang said:
"It's the Heavy Rain Area. There is a heavy rainstorm there every day. The impact is so strong that even when I enter, my speed has to be reduced by five points."
"Moreover, if a Vulcan Sequence were to go to this area, their combat power would be weakened by at least 50%."
"These are the only two districts among our fourteen districts that have not been occupied."
"Another unoccupied Central Fourteenth District is also next to Pangtuo District. It is Wangyang District. There is a vast sea of slime there."
"The water is sticky but not thick. The surface is clear, but it is like a swamp. It can easily cause the divine mecha to sink and absorb the divinity."
"We once had an A-level colleague who tried to cross to the other side of the slime sea. Unfortunately, he never came back after he set out. Most likely, his divinity was absorbed and he was lost in the slime sea."
"These two areas, along with the bloody battle area, are listed as the three restricted areas. Unless you are led by an S-class mecha, you are absolutely incapable of entering these areas."
Li Yi listened to the introduction and found that the target trace had turned, so he controlled the Tianwang mecha to stop, pointed to a passage leading to the Central Fourteenth District, and said: "So, this passage will not be the Wangyang District?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard what Li Yi said.
“This is indeed a vast ocean area.”
Tu Kuangyi said in a deep voice:
"You mean, that 'ancient divine civilization' entered here?"
Li Yi said: "Yes, I am sure of that, and after entering, I have never come out of this passage."
Zhang Shengfeng said:
"Li Yi, there are passages leading to other middle areas in this ocean area. First, check if there are any signs of him entering or leaving other passages."
Li Yi said: "Okay, the officers continue to follow me. I will walk around the periphery first to see if there are any suspicious locations."
…
After passing the passage of Wangyang District, it is already quite far away from the super castle in Inner District 7.
Then, everyone spent two or three hours speeding up and circling along the outer area, following Li Yi to look at the passages of the subsequent 11 middle areas.
After walking through all the partitions, the circle has not been completed, which shows how big this entire star partition is.
Among them, Li Yi listened to the introductions of several high-level Tianwei masters, and gradually understood the situation of the remaining divisions.
The bloody battle zone is Division No. 1, directly opposite Gate No. 1 of the super castle in the inner seven districts.
Pangtuo District is Zone No. 2, directly opposite Gate No. 5 of the Super Castle in Inner District 7.
Starting from Section No. 3 in Wangyang District, it is already some distance away from the Super Castle.
After that, in order, is the Tianhai area, a strange area where the sky and the sea meet. Every day, the sea water rises at sunrise and connects to the sky, and falls at sunset. There are countless islands in it, which have been occupied by humans and are used as an area for divine mechas to practice water battles.
Then there are the Gorge Mountain Area, Yuegu Area, Hengxian Area, Miaozhen Area, Rainbow Area, Pinglin Area, Wanshou Area, Xianyi Area, Tallin Area, and Bone Burial Area.
Each has its own style and challenges.
However, since they have been conquered and occupied by humans, except for a few challenge areas, other places are more like training grounds for divine mechas.
For example, air combat, land combat, underwater combat, surface combat, extreme environment combat, abnormal environment combat, etc. are all very suitable for training in different scenarios.
After walking for such a distance, Li Yi had an overhead outline of the entire star-shaped area in his mind.
This is probably like a snail spiral that keeps growing inward, and the center point is the super castle in the inner seven districts.
Extending from the inner seven areas are 14 median divisions numbered from the bloody battle area to the bone burial area, one grid connected to the next until the very end.
Extending outward from the 14 median partitions, they are surrounded by the 28 outer partitions that extend in a spiral.
“Is this really a super snail shell?”
A thought flashed through Li Yi's mind, and relying on his superior spatial thinking, he actually outlined a very symmetrical three-dimensional image of the snail shell.
He didn't think too much about it.
Because just as his thoughts were wandering, the middle fourteenth district had already been completely walked through.
Zhang Shengfeng asked: "Li Yi, how do you think it is?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I've checked, and none of the middle zones are there. Maybe they're still in Wangyang District, or maybe they've left Wangyang District and gone to an outer zone."
Zhang Shengfeng pondered and said:
"It may not be possible to leave the vast ocean. I have tried to cross the vast ocean before. When I saw the passage on the other side, which was still more than ten kilometers away, my divinity had been almost absorbed by the vast ocean. If I continued to move forward, there would be no way I could stay."
“So, I gave up halfway with the last 10 kilometers left and had to fly back with all my might.”
"That ocean area is very strange. Whether you go from the outer passage to the inner passage, or go the other way, there is no pressure to start. The closer you get to the goal, the more divinity you will absorb."
"Then, once you choose to return, there is actually no pressure."
"That may also be a training mechanism used by ancient divine civilizations to increase their total divinity. After returning, we found that the total divinity increased by 3%. Although it's not much, it's indeed good."
Hearing this, Li Yi thought of the Wuliang Spire, a heritage relic.
He also increased the total amount of divinity stored in his body in the Infinite Spire and benefited greatly from it.
Mo Zhenkong said:
"Assuming that the ancient man's physical strength is similar to Lao Zhang's Taia mecha, then we can indeed refer to your data. In other words, if we want to find the ancient man, we just need to wait for him here?"
Li Yi said: "According to my observation, the ancients should have entered the Wangyang area three days ago. Commander Zhang, what was your round-trip data at that time?"
Zhang Shengfeng said:
"It took five days to go there and three days to come back, a total of eight days. I wasn't going at full speed at the time, so assuming that the ancients were faster, the round trip time would probably be around five days."
Mo Zhenkong said:
"Are we going to sit here and wait for the Ancient One to return? Is it possible that he has a way to avoid having his divinity sucked away?"
Everyone felt something was wrong.
Zhang Shengfeng said, "Old Chen, go contact the few people who are still in the outer fourteenth district and ask them to keep an eye on the outer passage corresponding to the Wangyang District to see if there is any abnormal movement."
Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Captain Zhang, where is the footprint of the ancient man? Why didn't I find any trace after walking around just now? If I can find that footprint, maybe I can find out where this ancient man came from."
Zhang Shengfeng said:
"It's 300 kilometers east of the Ten Thousand Races Road. That's where I first discovered the footprints. There are many S-level divine creatures guarding there. If you are sure that you can trace his origin from those footprints, then let's go over there and take a look. Maybe we can find something."
"As for this place, Lao Chen, please pick a safe place to be on guard. Don't start a conflict first. Hide if necessary."
Chen Yanzhang nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
Li Yi didn't hear any objections from others, so he knew that Chen Yanzhang should have mastered sufficiently sophisticated concealment skills, or corresponding characteristics, and was confident that he would not be discovered by the ancient man.
At that moment, except for Chen Yanzhang's Hanqiu Mecha, all the mechas followed the Taia Mecha and flew towards the direction of Wanzu Road.
…
After a while, the mechas appeared from outside Gate No. 1 of the Super Castle, looked around, and then flew towards the Wanzu Road inside.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Then, circling to the east of the Myriad Races Road, the Taia mecha began to speed up. The pointed cone-shaped thrusters mounted on the shoulder armor began to generate strange ripples, and the speed became faster and faster.
A sharp whistle continued to shake the ground, and countless gravels on the ground continued to tremble.
In the cockpit, Li Yi saw an astonishing scene from a panoramic perspective: it was a 330-meter-tall, gorgeous giant tiger standing upright and roaring towards the sky.
The giant tiger has an inverted triangle-shaped body, with slightly smaller legs and extremely thick arms and chest.
The huge body was much taller than the surrounding statues. It was extremely angry and stared at the Taia Mecha from afar.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There are some human-like features in that face, with broad cheeks, arrogant eyes, and a strong sense of authority.
Then, he opened his mouth and spurted out a column of energy as thick as a skyscraper.
At this time, the flying Taia Mecha did not hesitate or hesitate, and also opened its mouth to spit out a noticeably more condensed emerald blue energy column.
Swoosh!!! The Taia mecha's attack was clearly superior, directly shattering the opponent's energy column and shooting at the giant tiger in one breath.
The giant tiger did resist, but the Taia mecha's firing speed was too fast, which was beyond the giant tiger's reaction range, and its head was pierced through in an instant.
Then, his body turned into light particles and disappeared.
Zhang Shengfeng smiled and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this giant tiger looks very majestic. It is actually one of the weakest divine creatures around the Wanzu Road. Although it is refreshed every day, it is really vulnerable."
Mo Zhenkong laughed and said, "Li Yi, don't listen to Zhang Shengfeng's boasting. When he was hanging out with me, it took him several years just to beat this giant tiger."
Zhang Shengfeng did not refute, but just smiled and said:
"Captain Mo is right. When I first entered the high level of the Heavenly Rank and had not yet accumulated a good enough combination of characteristics, I did spend a lot of time here."
Hearing this, Li Yi immediately realized that when Zhang Shengfeng was at a high level of the Heavenly Rank, he was able to kill S-level divine creatures.
Even judging from the tone, even Mo Zhenkong could do it.
Although divine creatures are naturally weaker than divine mechas of the same level, and being defeated is common, it is believed to be rare for a high-level A-level to be able to defeat an S-level.
Thinking of this, Li Yi exclaimed: "The officers have such strength, which is really amazing. They are the goals I want to learn from."
After hearing everyone say this, only Zhao Menghao had a strange look on his face. The giant tiger was actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Its strength was only 60% of that of a real divine creature. Although it was difficult for a high-level A-level to reverse the attack, it was not that outrageous.
After all, you can refresh it repeatedly to practice, and the local high-level A-level players basically use the giant tiger to practice.
These guys are so shameless in boasting so loudly.
…
In a blink of an eye, everyone, led by the Taia Mecha, gradually went deeper, dealt with several virtual divine creatures that blocked the way, and finally arrived at the place where the footprints were produced.
It was three or four meters in front of the hundred-meter statue.
The statue depicts the form of an armored creature, very similar to the armored man Li Yi had seen in the Characteristic Spire, except that this statue is larger, and the proportions of its face and body are slightly different.
Looking down from above, the armored man is wearing heavy armor. The armor pieces are small and needle-shaped, neatly stacked, forming symmetrical and neat vertical and horizontal lines, which is very geometrically beautiful.
He wore a stone helmet that covered the back of his head and eyelids, leaving his nose and mouth exposed.
The body proportions are almost the same as the golden ratio of humans. He holds a sword and shield in his hands, with his right hand raising the sword to the sky. His eyes are glaring and his teeth are gritting, as if he is shouting something.
Such a lifelike statue, even though not as tall as everyone's divine mecha, still gave everyone present a strange visual impact.
There is no other reason. Among the many statues around Wanzu Road, there has never been a face like this one that looks alive.
No matter how lifelike the surrounding statues are, if you look closely, you will find that they are ultimately dead objects.
Only the one in front of me, that look seems to convey another kind of emotion.
When Li Yi saw the statue of the armored man, he heard someone exclaim in the public channel.
Judging from the sound, it should come from Mo Zhenkong.
Zhang Shengfeng said at this time:
"It seems that Captain Mo has some impression of this armored man?"
Mo Zhenkong shook his head and said, "I remembered something that happened to me in my early years. Let's not talk about it now. Li Yi, you take a look first. Business matters are more important."
At this time, Li Yi had actually finished reading it and said:
"This footprint was created out of thin air, and the signs of activity around it also occurred after this footprint."
"The signs of activity around it were quite chaotic. Perhaps this ancient being had just been revived and was still a little confused, or was still recalling the memories before death... After moving around for a few seconds, this ancient being began to fly outwards."
"Perhaps, the ancient man was resurrected out of thin air, or maybe it has something to do with the statue next to him."
"Because the ancients kowtowed to the statue three times before they took off and left here."
"As for the time of appearance, I calculated... If I'm not mistaken, it should be 89 days ago."
Just when he said this, Li Yi was stunned for a moment.
Wasn't this the day when they witnessed the mysterious thought triggering the jump and moving the northern ruins away on Planet 33 of Stardust Corridor?
Are there any connections between the two? Thinking of this, Li Yi asked, "Captain Zhang, may I ask if you have arranged people to track down and capture the northern ruins of the heritage ruins after they broke away?"
Zhang Shengfeng's eyes moved slightly: "I know about this. We have already dispatched many powerful people for this matter."
"Are you saying that the appearance of this ancient man is related to the mysterious thoughts of these northern ruins?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Considering the time when the two appeared, it is hard for me not to be suspicious. I think maybe we can find an expert to use tools to make an accurate calculation, and maybe we can determine a more specific time."
"If there is a real connection between the two, or if there is consistency at certain key points, then it is probably not a bad idea to determine that they are the same event."
Zhang Shengfeng nodded and said:
"Very good, this is indeed a very important matter. In addition, do you see any other situation?"
Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There is one thing that is not certain, but the officers can also consult it. The appearance of this statue is exactly the same as the armored man chessboard trial I experienced when I was exploring the heritage ruins characteristic spire."
"Except for the difference in height, I can confirm that they are the same race."
Hearing this, Mo Zhenkong sighed and said, "It seems that I can also talk about the incident that happened to me in my early years before I became a mecha master."
