Chapter 79
"Is this the south side?"
Wu Jian looked at the place where there was only an oasis and no city, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Tang Keke pulled up the map and compared it again, nodding and saying, "Yes, this is indeed the central area of the south. It shows a large open space, but I didn't expect it to be so big."
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
The oasis is very large, the kind that stretches as far as the eye can see.
The oasis was covered by a kind of vine of unknown species. The original road was blocked by dense vines, leaving no place to step and the only way to walk was to walk over the vines.
When stepped on, the vines will break and reveal a gray liquid with a pungent smell of gasoline.
Tang Keke sniffed the air and wondered, "Why do these vines smell so strange?"
Wu Jian stopped and smelled a familiar scent. In order to prove that he was not mistaken, he picked a leaf. A spark ignited and the leaf automatically burned.
"Sure enough, this vine should be able to absorb gasoline liquid and convert it into its own nutrients, which means that the soil underneath the soil contains substances with gasoline components."
"Don't worry, as long as there is no fire, these leaves won't burn. Let's go."
Wu Jianfei was in mid-air, overlooking the green land below. It was a place where no one had stepped on or destroyed it. It seemed like a world where no one had ever set foot, very similar to a forest of giant trees.
But didn't Phil say he came to the south to look for something? Where is he?
Did you change your mind and not come halfway?
Just as Wu Jian was thinking about something, his eyes were stung by something reflective below. The luminous object was not far from him.
With doubts, he swooped down and came to the side of the glowing object.
The branches were tied with something resembling an aluminum alloy ribbon.
When the wind blows, the flying ribbons will reflect a dazzling white light when they collide with the sunlight.
This ribbon doesn't look like it was blown up, but rather like it was hung up by someone.
Wu Jian looked at the ribbon, took it off, turned around and flew towards He Nuo and the others.
The people who were moving forward stopped after seeing the little dragon turn back.
He Nuo had long seen the little dragon coming and stood there waiting for him to get closer.
"What did you find?"
Wu Jian gave the ribbon to He Nuo.
"I found it in the tree ahead."
"This is a sign from the mecha civilization warning that there is danger ahead." He Nuo explained after taking a few glances.
"Danger?" Tang Keke wiped the sweat from her head and asked doubtfully, "I don't think there's any danger here. I don't see a single hair. There's no tower either. Could this be a prank?"
Wu Jian shook his head: "I don't think so. The other party tied the ribbon in a very conspicuous place. As long as you look up, you can see it."
"So here comes the question? Did anyone get here before us? Oh, little dragon boy, you said Phil was here too?"
"It may not be Phil. The four players from the mecha civilization also came to the south. We were delayed on the road for a while, so they should have gone in long ago."
Curry shook his head: "Those four guys are problematic. They probably didn't do it. Excluding them, only Phil would do such a thing."
"No matter who did it, they reminded me out of kindness, which proves that they are good people. After we go in, we will lend a hand if we can to express our gratitude."
The team continued to move forward. Wu Jian did not continue flying, but followed He Nuo.
Along the way, he forgot one thing.
I haven't told him what Phil has handed over to me yet, but how should I start?
Wu Jian touched his chin, thinking so hard that he forgot to look at the road and almost tripped over the vines. Fortunately, He Nuo supported him and prevented him from falling flat on his face.
"Watch the road."
He Nuo said this not to blame Wu Jian, but more out of helplessness.
Wu Jian scratched his head and said, "Sorry, I will pay more attention next time."
He Nuo asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm a little embarrassed to say it."
When He Nuo heard this, he realized something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother He, do you know Phil?"
"I know the crown prince of the mecha civilization."
Wu Jian clapped his hands and said, "Since you know, I won't hide it anymore. Actually, Phil has admired Brother He for a long time and wants to pay a high price to buy a crystal from you. The price is up to you. I think it's best to raise it a bit, since Phil looks very rich anyway."
He Nuo raised the corner of his eyebrow and looked at Wu Jian with a half-smile. "Why are you helping him pass on a message? Are you two very familiar with each other?"
Wu Jian felt an inexplicable threat when he heard this, and quickly made an excuse to avoid the wording, "We're not that familiar with each other. He begged me a lot before I agreed to help him pass on a message. He also said that if Brother He is willing to help him carve the crystal stone, the price is up to him."
“Not for sale.”
"Huh? Why?"
He Nuo pinched the little dragon's horn and said, "Do I look like I'm short of money?"
Wu Jian was about to nod when he suddenly remembered that He Nuo's disguise as a rich second-generation had fallen off, and he immediately shook his head.
He Nuo said: "Since I am not short of money, I will certainly not sell these crystals. It would be nice to make toys for you."
Make, make toys?
It’s so precious, how can I ever pay it back?
Besides, making toys is a bit of a waste of resources. It’s better to use them for something useful, right?
Wu Jian tactfully persuaded him, "Brother He, I have enough toys. Don't waste the crystals. Just make toys for me. You can even sell him one."
If it really doesn't work, give me the raw stone and I will help you sell it, and we can split it in half.
However, he didn't dare to say so.
If he said this out loud, He Nuo might chase him and beat him up.
He Nuo pinched the soft scales on the little dragon cub's face and said, "Tell me, how much benefit did he give you to make you speak well of him?"
Wu Jian rolled his eyes and said innocently, "No, I just think it's a waste for you to make a toy out of the crystal, Brother He. You've given me enough. You should think about yourself once in a while."
"How much benefit do you get? Tell me the truth."
"Well, it's not much, just a little bit of share. How could I possibly do anything bad to you, Brother He, against my conscience?"
He Nuo sneered, "Little money-grubber, how about I double what he gave you?"
"No, no."
"This matter is non-negotiable. I won't sell the crystal."
Wu Jian felt very regretful.
The share that was about to be obtained was gone just like that.
Wu Jian hung his head, clearly not in high spirits.
He Nuo glanced at the little dragon beside him and said nothing.
At this time, Curry and his team, who were walking in the front, had made a new discovery and were calling everyone to gather.
Wu Jian put aside his previous unhappiness and flew to the front first.
Passing the green vines on the hillside, you can see a huge depression in front. The vegetation is rolled over, and the fragments of the mecha are scattered everywhere. A player of the mecha civilization is lying on the ground without a breath.
"What a fierce battle."
"Hey, isn't that someone? Gerry's teammates. What attacked them?"
"Look at his brain,
It was probably smashed by someone, causing some of the circuits to short-circuit, which was the main cause of his death."
"That's terrible! Most of his armor has been dismantled. Who did this?"
Wu Jian took a few steps forward and heard a click. He seemed to have stepped on something. When he moved his foot away, he saw a gray glass cup.
He had seen this cup before. It was the cup Phil used to drink motor oil. Could it be that he was the one who fought with Gerry?
But why, they are all people from the mecha civilization, why would they kill each other?
"Look, besides the mecha being dismantled, their hearts were also removed. Does that mean Gerry and the others are indeed infested by the iron-eating bugs?"
Wu Jian put the cup on the ground and followed everyone to study the corpse on the ground.
If Gerry and the other three were parasitized by the iron-eating worms, they would no longer be considered living people, so it would be normal for Phil to deal with them.
"Gerry's teammates are here, what about Gerry and the other two?"
Wu Jian observed for a while and felt that there was nothing to see. Just as he stood up, he caught a glimpse of something passing by the tree next to him. He turned his head and his eyes widened.
"In a tree."
He shouted.
Everyone looked up at the same time and saw the corpse swaying on the tree, and couldn't help but gasp.
"One, two, three. There are three on the tree, plus one on the ground. That's exactly four people. All together."
Wu Jian: "Their hearts are gone."
Tang Keke said, "They should all be parasitized. After they were discovered, the iron-eating bugs were taken away."
Now that Gerry and the other three were taken away, their danger was reduced a little. The only thing they didn't know was who did it. After all, there were so many players here, and it wasn't like Phil did it.
If it's a friendly party, it's fine, but I'm afraid that person is not a friendly party, then it's not so good.
After going around the trees, there are sparse buildings and houses in front, as well as a tall tower. However, the tower is very far away, and it will take a long time to reach it by walking.
"Is anyone there?"
When he pushed open the door of a dilapidated little house, Wu Jian greeted politely, but there was no one there except flying dust.
Tang Keke looked at Wu Jian's actions and said, "Little Dragon, there's no need to be like this. It's obvious that no one lives here, so there's no need to greet them."
Wu Jian pushed open another door and said, "I have to ask. What if there's someone there?"
Tang Keke shook her head, thinking that Wu Jian was just playing.
Where they are, look
It looks like a small village, very desolate. Vines go straight through the houses and buildings, absorbing nutrients, and some iron blocks are rusting and rotting.
The others went to push the door, but Wu Jian continued to push it, asking questions as he pushed.
Suddenly, a sense of danger passed by his face, and Wu Jian rolled to the side without thinking.
A huge deep pit exploded on the ground.
Realizing that the little dragon was in danger, He Nuo quickly appeared behind him and took him away from the battlefield.
I saw a robot staring at Wu Jian and He Nuo, as if scanning what species they were, and hesitated for a few seconds.
The robot paused, and its fingers merged into a sharp knife to attack He Nuo.
He Nuo easily dodged and threw Wu Jian upwards.
Wu Jian hovered steadily in the air.
The others were attracted by the sound of fighting here.
"What's going on?" Tang Keke asked in shock. "Why are there robots in a place like this?"
He Nuo took care of the robot in a few moves.
Just as Wu Jian was about to get closer, He Nuo stopped him.
"Don't come over here."
"Brother He?"
"Stand back."
Just as He Nuo finished speaking, many robots rushed out from the house in front.
Even the unopened doors in front had robots appearing continuously.
Wu Jian widened his eyes. These robots were really patient. They only came out after their own kind were gone.
Everyone took out their weapons and fought.
This group of robots were equipped with weapons such as laser guns, and in an instant, the surrounding houses became a pile of ruins.
Wu Jian threw several small silver balls into the house, which knocked out a lot of robots. The flames spread and ignited the surrounding vines. However, the flames stopped burning after reaching a certain area.
He was just curious and was busy dealing with the robots, so he didn't have time to care why the vines went out halfway through burning.
These robots move very smoothly, and with the addition of laser weapons, it will take some time to deal with them.
Fortunately, Wu Jian and his team were relatively strong. In less than half an hour, they eliminated more than half of the robots. The remaining robots retreated quickly as if they had received an order. Soon, only a group of robot corpses were lying on the ground.
Wu Jian dug open the robot's heart like a blind box, but didn't see the iron-eating worm. He asked puzzledly, "Where's the iron-eating worm?"
But in a place that Wu Jian didn't see, a very small insect tried to drill into his scales.
, and was bounced away by He Nuo.
"Don't touch the robots. They're only parasitized by iron-eating larvae, and they don't have energy stones."
Kurili used a dagger to pry open the robot's heart, and indeed found a very small iron-eating insect. When the knife pierced into the insect's body, it was exposed to the sunlight. The insect curled up a few times, turned into gray mist and disappeared.
"Where there are larvae, there must be mothers. Let's go!"
Curry urged everyone to leave.
Everyone hurriedly left the ruins and felt a violent shaking. A mutated iron-eating insect showed its head from the mud and quickly sank back down. A roaring sound came from the ground, causing everyone's faces to change drastically.
“That voice…”
"It should be the queen insect. Don't worry about it. Let's leave quickly."
After everyone ran for a while, the roar of the queen insect could no longer be heard.
"No wonder those robots are so agile, it turns out there's a bigger one behind them."
Tang Keke took a breath and said something, then seeing that Zhao Qing was distracted, she nudged him with her elbow.
"Am I right? What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Zhao Qing frowned and said, "I'm wondering why the Iron-eating Queen would live here with a group of herds of young. This place is full of plants, with no iron-like structures at all. Shouldn't they go to the city to better care for their larvae?"
What Zhao Qing said made some sense, and Tang Keke stopped to think about it.
Kurili nodded and said, "He's right. There's nothing here. Why would the Iron-eating Queen live here with her larvae? And the mecha civilization built so many skyscrapers all over the planet, why would they leave such a large empty space here? Isn't it strange?"
Zhao Qing said, "I thought so too. It doesn't fit the image of a mecha civilization research enthusiast and infrastructure enthusiast at all. Unless there's a base down there that we haven't discovered."
"It's possible!" Tang Keke's eyes lit up. "Then I'll look for a door leading into the base below. Maybe I can find something useful there."
"Search separately. Be careful of the queen. Send a signal later."
"Alright."
The group was divided into several teams, but the four bodyguards had their own professional ethics and were unwilling to stay far away from Curry.
Curry is also a willful person, so she asked the four bodyguards to continue following her.
The others split into teams of two and searched for the entrance separately.
She also gave out signal guns to everyone.
Everyone moved separately with signal guns.
Wu Jian put away the signal gun and followed He Nuo to a place opposite to the others.
Along the way, apart from the green plants, there are only a few sparse trees.
Wu Jian stood on the hillside, looking at the high-rise buildings that were looming in the distance. Occasionally, the wind blew, and the green area was covered with layers of waves.
Of course, now is not the time to enjoy the scenery, so Wu Jian did not fly, but instead conducted a carpet search bit by bit.
What's more, he also picked up a lot of garbage iron blocks and other things under the vines.
Wu Jian wiped the leaves off his face and looked at He Nuo with his back to him, not knowing what he was looking at.
He curiously emerged from the vines and stood beside He Nuo, following He Nuo's gaze. All he could see was green and tall towers in the distance.
Hey, when did they come this way?
Wu Jian kept looking down for the entrance to the base and didn't notice that they were not far from the tower.
"Brother He, are you looking at the tower?"
He Nuo shook his head, "I'm looking at the position of the queen."
"Queen? Where is she? Why can't I see her?"
He Nuo turned around and said, "Don't force it if you can't see it. Let's go."
Wu Jian: "...Brother He, what do you mean!"
Wu Jian caught up with He Nuo.
But he didn't notice that when he turned around, something was slowly crawling among the green vines not far away, revealing a pair of cold eyes with vertical pupils.
Wu Jian followed behind He Nuo, chattering non-stop, "The tower ahead seems very close to us. How about we go over and take a look?"
He Nuo hummed.
The man and his child moved closer to the tower. The closer they got to the tower, the denser the vegetation became.
He Nuo led the way ahead, and Wu Jian walked behind him.
Are you kidding? If Wu Jian walked in front, he would be buried by the vines!
Wu Jian boredly pulled aside a vine leaf and looked at it with surprise.
"Brother He, look, it's a spaceship!"
He Nuo looked down and saw an abandoned spaceship hidden in the vines in front of them. It was very large and should be a passenger ship for transporting passengers.
Wu Jian peeled off a corner of the spaceship, but it broke into pieces with just a slight bend.
"Don't go in, it's too broken."
After hearing what He Nuo said, Wu Jian could only nod in agreement.
"Okay then. I want to see if there is anything
To be picked up and used.”
He Nuo and Wu Jian were walking by when they suddenly heard a beeping sound and they both stopped at the same time.
"Brother He, what's that sound?"
He Nuo frowned and said, "It seems to be the distress signal from the spacecraft system. Every spacecraft is equipped with this distress signal to facilitate the search for people who have crashed."
"The sound came from inside. Could there be someone inside?"
He Nuo turned to look at the huge spaceship and said, "I'll go in and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
"Old rules."
Wu Jian climbed up the pole and said, "I'll go behind you. I'll know even if you don't tell me."
He Nuo nodded.
He took out the lighting object, found a space on the spaceship that he could enter, and walked in.
Because he was afraid of stepping on it and falling, He Nuo took every step very carefully. Fortunately, the bottom of the boat was relatively thick and not easy to step on.
The inside of the spaceship was also entangled with vines. When you stepped on it, it made a creaking sound, as if the spaceship would break apart in the next second.
The cabin was large, and there were many dusty and rotten chairs. After walking around the main cabin where the passengers were, He Nuo and Wu Jian came to the main control room, and the sound stopped abruptly.
Wu Jian frowned and said, "The sound disappeared."
Click.
There was something under Wu Jian's feet. He Nuo shone a light on it and saw a black box. It looked very new except for Wu Jian's footprints.
He Nuo said: "Someone left a distress signal here."
Wu Jian took the long box from He Nuo's hand and took a look at it. It was indeed new. He pressed the switch next to it, and the long box made the same beeping sound as before.
“Manual.”
"This person is still here."
Wu Jian held his breath.
Suddenly, He Nuo beside him moved quickly, and there was a crackling sound and screams in his ears.
Wu Jian thought the voice sounded familiar and ran towards it.
"Don't fight your own people, little dragon cub, it's me, Phil!"
It turned out to be this guy.
Wu Jian quickly said, "Brother He, stop hitting him. He's one of us."
He Nuo withdrew his hand and turned on the lighting object again to illuminate the little dragon cub that was approaching.
When Wu Jian saw the light, he flew over there and saw the person lying next to He Nuo.
"Phil, why are you acting so mysterious? And why are you sending out a distress signal?"
Phil sat up, touched the red and swollen spot at the corner of his eye, and said a little aggrievedly, "God, I swear to God, I was just sending out a distress signal. I had a fight with those idiots before and injured my spine. I have to wait for the person my sister found for me to come and help me. I didn't expect that he hasn't come yet, and he attracted you here."
"Was your spine injured by those people from Gerry?"
Phil asked, "Did you meet them?"
"I met them, but they were their corpses."
Phil's face was solemn. "I only killed one person. The other three were seriously injured. My spine was broken at the time, so I didn't stand a chance. I didn't expect him to die. Whoever helped me kill him, I must thank him!"
Wu Jian took a look at Phil's back. As he said, a mechanical bone was broken in his spine.
"When will the people who are looking for you come?"
Phil shook his head. "I don't know. I've been waiting here for several days, but he didn't show up. He must have died somewhere. Bugs that parasitize machines are the nemesis of our mecha civilization."
"Brother He, can you fix it?"
He Nuo glanced at Phil, and as Phil's body gradually stiffened, he looked away and said to Wu Jian, "It's hard to say, but I can try."
Wu Jian said to Fei Er, "Let Brother He help you fix it. If you keep waiting like this, how long will it take?"
Phil stiffened his body and stammered, "No, it's not necessary, is it?"
Wu Jian said, "I don't know how to repair it anyway. Since Brother He knows how to do it, let him try."
He Nuo handed the lighting object to Wu Jian.
"Bear with it."
When Phil saw He Nuo approaching, he hid back in fear for the first time.
"He...Mr. He, be gentle...ah!"
A scream rang out.
Wu Jian heard a snapping sound and couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his teeth. Phil's originally handsome face was instantly distorted.
After a long time, Phil's spine was finally repaired. It looks a little ugly, but it is completely invisible when he puts on clothes.
"Thank you, Mr. He."
He Nuo had a cold face and shook off the stains on his hands. It was not until Wu Jian handed him a disinfectant tissue that his expression looked a little better.
Wu Jian found a seat and asked Phil, "Do you want some gas?"
Phil took out a silver cup from the space and politely declined Wu Jian's kindness.
"Thank you, I still have some."
"You've been here for so long. Have you found any special places or things?"
"Yes, the Iron-eating Queen and her army of larvae have always lived here. After dark, this place becomes a paradise for the larvae. Have you encountered those larvae?"
"We did, and we encountered the queen. I'm not talking about that, but the other bugs besides the queen, like the base entrance and the like."
Phil suddenly realized.
"Oh, well, that's what I thought you were going to say. The entrance is right under the spaceship."
"Um?"
"It's true. I scanned it and the entrance is right down there. If my spine wasn't damaged, I would have gone down to see what's going on inside."
"You haven't looked inside yet, so let's go down and take a look later. The queen insect has been moving around, probably using the base below as food to breed her larvae."
"That's fine."
Wu Jian found a hole and flew out, firing a shot into the sky. The red signal was extremely conspicuous in the sky.
An hour later, the others arrived at the spaceship one after another.
"Little dragon, did you find the entrance so quickly?" Tang Keke looked up at Wu Jian who was standing on the spaceship and asked.
Wu Jian flew down and stood with the others, nodding, "Yes, where are Miaoli and the others?"
"No, he should be behind."
"Wait for them first, and then we'll go in together." Wu Jian said.
No one had any objection.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Miaoli and Zhenbai came running over panting.
"Sorry, the place we were going was a bit far, and we encountered the queen insect on the way, so we took a detour to avoid it." Miaoli explained.
Curry asked, "Where did you meet the queen?"
"It's not far ahead. It's been circling around the houses. It must be afraid that we will attack its larvae again." Miaoli analyzed.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go in."
Phil was with He Nuo, and without the little dragon cub mediating, he didn't even dare to speak. He Nuo's aura was too strong. Being in the same space with him was like being with his research-obsessed sister. He didn't dare to move, not at all.
It wasn't until he heard the noisy sounds outside and the tender voice of the little dragon cub that he felt like he had seen his savior.
"Brother He, Phil. Now that everyone is here, we can set off."
Phil Rufu
He breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Great, let's go."
"I didn't expect it to be Prince Phil." Curry was very surprised to see Phil in person.
"Kurili, you're with the little dragon cubs too."
"Well, this is probably the first time we've worked together. It's been a pleasure working together."
"pleasure."
Phil's injury prevented him from doing any physical work for the time being, so four strong men took over and pried open the bottom of the shipyard, revealing a round aluminum alloy door in front of everyone.
Phil used a long iron stick and poked it gently. With a click, the round door opened.
A ladder leading vertically downwards appeared in front of everyone.
As usual, He Nuo and Wu Jian stayed behind.
Phil was the first to reach the ground. It was very dry down there and a lot of dust could be seen flying in the air.
Others jumped down one after another.
Wu Jian was the second to last to come down. He took a mouthful of dust in his mouth, which made him spat several times.
"It looks like no one has been here except us."
Phil said, "My eyes can scan that there is something inside."
Everyone silently took out their weapons.
Curry looked at Phil, who was holding his waist with his hands, and said, "I'll go ahead, you guys follow."
In the tunnel, the roots of the vines have already reached here.
Fortunately, the tunnel is not very long and we almost reached the end after walking for an hour.
Two roads appeared in front of everyone. Since they didn't know what was ahead, they didn't plan to go separately and chose the right passage.
The further you go inside, the colder and damper the ground becomes.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of cold, but people with special abilities can withstand the cold.
Wu Jian stopped walking, and He Nuo, who was following behind him, also stopped.
"Brother He, did you hear the sound?"
He Nuo nodded, "I heard it, it's next door to us."
Hearing the conversation between the two, the others stopped and asked, "What's wrong? What did you hear?"
Curry said at this time: "There is indeed a sound."
Miaoli's cat ears twitched, "I heard it too."
Tang Keke scratched her ears and said, "You guys can hear it, but why can't I? Zhao Qing, did you hear it?"
Zhao Qing shook his head.
Phil facing the wall
A burst of gunfire.
"It's normal that you can't hear it. This isn't sound, it's sound waves. Most people can't hear it. Only those who are sensitive to sound can hear it. For example, the ears of the alien beast civilization can detect sounds from a thousand meters away."
Tang Keke touched her chin and asked, "Then why can Mr. He hear it?"
"Uh..." Phil was stuck, struggling to find words to describe it.
Tang Keke automatically found an excuse and sighed, "Is this what a strong person is? Can he adjust his hearing to the most perfect position? Zhao Qing, write this down in your notebook too. Maybe we can learn it later."
Zhao Qing nodded, "Good idea."
"Okay, that thing only emits sound waves, it shouldn't attack us for the time being, let's go first."
As everyone walked deeper, the road suddenly widened and they could see rows of robots stacked on top of each other.
"The robots here shouldn't be parasitized, right?"
Phil scanned them and explained, "No, and these machines are semi-finished and pose no threat to us."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, I have been chased by machines all the time. Now when people see robots, they will subconsciously think whether they are parasitized by iron-eating insects. It is really a bit ridiculous.
Huh? What's that in front?
Wu Jian tilted his head to look forward and almost fell to the ground.
He Nuo supported Wu Jian's head with one hand to prevent him from falling.
Wu Jian felt stupid about his own behavior and smiled at He Nuo embarrassedly.
"What are you looking at?"
Wu Jian said, "I just wanted to see if there was anything else up ahead."
"Then go and take a look."
Wu Jian scratched his head and said, "I see they are all here looking at the robots, so I want to wait for them to go over together."
"What does little dragon want to see?" Phil turned around and asked.
"Phil, can you scan what's in front of you?"
"Front?"
Under Wu Jian's guidance, Phil scanned the things in front of him, and the more he scanned, the tighter his brows furrowed.
Wu Jian asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong." Phil said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong?"
"There are a lot of things ahead, and there are a lot of them." Phil put away the equipment and said, "Be careful when you go in."
Curry walked in front and the others followed.
At this moment, Curry stopped and made a downward
The action of pressing.
She squatted down slowly by herself, and the others followed her lead.
The people in front brought news one by one.
"Kurili said there's a group of flying animals ahead, and they look a bit like water bats."
Water bats are amphibious animals that like to hide in dark places. They are very aggressive and if you are not careful, you will be eaten until only a handful of bones are left.
However, it is unknown how aggressive the water bats living in the Mechanical City are, nor what special abilities they possess.
Especially since there is an unpredictable iron-eating worm, it is even more difficult to guess.
Wu Jian had already prepared for the worst. If things really didn't work out, they would stop exploring and retreat.
Just as he was thinking this, Curry in front of the team had already started walking inside.
There is no need to use Wu Jian’s idea for the time being. Since others have already used it, then just use it.
Water bats perched overhead, densely packed in large groups; in the faint light, one could see the reflections from their wings.
Their weapons of attack are their wings, which can easily cut through a layer of flesh like a blade.
When they got here, everyone turned down the lights in their hands to the minimum and moved them slowly on the ground.
Wu Jian was strong enough and didn't need to squat.
Sometimes being short is an advantage. Of course, I am just a cub and haven’t grown up yet, so it doesn’t matter if I am a little short.
When they were about to bypass the water bats, mud crickets suddenly rushed out from the wall, waking up the sleeping water bats, and the chirping sounds suddenly became harsh.
"run!"
Everyone stood up and walked deeper into the tunnel!
Wu Jian was puzzled: "Why are the mud crickets here so clever?"
As Tang Keke ran for her life, she complained, "Who knew the person who designed the mud cricket was also sick!"
Phil said, "No swearing."
Tang Keke apologized, "Sorry, Prince Phil, I forgot you were still here."
He Nuo fired a shot upwards, and after a mud cricket fell down, he fired again.
Curry, who was walking in front, suddenly tilted his body and a one-meter-long steel knife appeared. Immediately afterwards, many steel knives appeared in the tunnel ahead.
"Fuck! Why is there a mechanism?"
There are mechanisms in front and mud crickets and water bats behind. It seems like they are going to be killed.
"What on earth is that up ahead that's worth using so many things to protect it?"
"It seems we have come to the right place. There must be something ahead!"
"Stop discussing this, the water bats are coming!"
Fortunately, the steel knife was not swung very quickly, and they were able to pass safely thanks to their skills.
