Chapter 45 Ancient Disaster
Not good, Yang Che shouted in his heart. He fired and retreated, his mind racing.
It was obvious that the black shadow that suddenly jumped down just now was the target of this operation, but now his teammates fell one by one, and he was the only one who could barely fight. The situation was very unfavorable.
Fortunately, there were not many flesh monsters in front of him. Even if the other party had a small base underground, it would not be able to maintain a large scale. They had killed hundreds of them today, and they were almost done.
As the number of flesh monsters that came to attack decreased, Yang Che was finally able to pay a little attention to observe the situation on the other side. He thought that the fierce black-haired man just now could delay or defeat the target, but he didn't expect that the situation at this time was not like this at all.
Qiao Long slowly knelt down, making a hissing roar like an animal, and the muscles on his body became more and more blood red, blood vessels bulged, some dark red dragon scales appeared faintly, and his body shape slowly changed.
Facing the disturbing flute sound, Yang Che quickly scanned his teammates, then quickly pounced on one of them, pulled down the tactical backpack on his back, and then took out several small blue and white ammunition.
He opened the pull ring, aimed at the direction of the rock pillar and threw it fiercely. After a bang, it exploded in the air.
There was no fire or shock wave, only the sharp sound waves instantly echoed underground. This was the spare stun grenade of their team, and they didn't expect it to come in handy.
It was like 10 million whistles blowing at the same time in the ears, and the sharp overlapping sound waves exploded in an instant. The violent sound wave impact made people's vision shake, and the brain even lost the ability to think temporarily. The flute sound of the black shadow was also interrupted instantly.
Yang Che had been wearing tactical headphones. This equipment that isolates noise and prevents sound wave damage also just weakened the effect of the stun grenade at this moment.
He remained awake, and then quickly moved to the other side of the rock pillar, and shot when the vague outline appeared in his sight.
A series of blue tracks flashed in the air, and a little blood light appeared on the black shadow. Unfortunately, because of the special gray-black tights, the bullet did not completely penetrate the protection, but only caused some damage on the surface.
After being attacked, the black shadow endured the dizziness and discomfort in his mind, began to roll, avoided the attack, and then used Qiao Long as a shield and hid behind him.
After temporarily alleviating the crisis, he took out the medicine capsule inside his clothes and threw it into his mouth, allowing himself to quickly recover from this unfavorable state.
Seeing that the shooting angle was not good, Yang Che rushed over quickly, not wanting to give the other party time to breathe, but it was still a step too late. The other party had swallowed the capsule and stood up again.
The special taste from the tip of the tongue instantly made his mind clear a lot. The black shadow dodged Yang Che's shooting and picked up the flute in his hand and blew it again, trying to make Qiao Long, who was confused and unconscious, attack the other party, but the effect was not good.
Although Qiao Long was also affected by the sonic boom just now, it also made his consciousness clearer and began to suppress the boiling blood and power in his body.
This sudden burst of power is not a good thing, but it is caused at the cost of stimulating life potential. If it is not suppressed, he may be several decades older after tonight, or even his strength will decline permanently.
Turning the angle again, Yang Che kept shooting at the escaping black shadow, hitting it several times, but did not let it fall.
With his injured body, the other party fled into the depths of the cave again. At this time, Yang Che threw away the electromagnetic rifle that was not powerful enough to hinder his movement, quickly pulled out the handle of the lightsaber at his waist, and chased after him again.
The dark underground cave was full of stagnant water, and there was also a rugged stone surface in the stagnant water, which made the black shadow stumble while fleeing and almost slipped several times, and the resistance of the water also slowed down his forward speed.
Yang Che caught up at this time, and a bright yellow light column bloomed in the darkness. The faint sword body was filled with electric currents, entangled in it, and the light emitted also illuminated the dark underground.
After discovering the opponent's figure, Yang Che did not chase him directly, but decisively inserted his rushing lightsaber into the water on the ground. Sparks flew, and the black shadow trembled rapidly, and his body was numb.
Although such an electric current could not directly kill this extraordinary person, it also made him embarrassed and almost lost his resistance.
Taking off the spare anesthetic dart in the tactical vest, Yang Che threw it again. The steel needle suddenly pierced into the opponent's back wound, and a burst of cold liquid was poured into his body.
Feeling that he was hit, as a professional in the development of medicines, how could he not know the horror of being suddenly shot into the potion? Almost at the same time, he reached out to pull out the dart on his back and inserted it into the stone wall beside him. With the help of the diversion effect of the metal needle, the threat of the electric current was reduced.
However, as soon as he took a step, his legs were weak and he fell into the water. After all, the anesthetic had begun to take effect.
"Fuck" he couldn't help but curse, and then touched his wrist, where there was a device like a watch.
After pressing it hard, a pre-prepared liquid was also pressed into his body, causing his body to twitch.
The anesthetic cannot be removed quickly, and he would not have expected to encounter such an attack in advance. The medicine in the watch is a semi-finished special medicine he developed himself, which can stimulate people's potential, enhance consciousness and soul, and enable them to gain advantages when they are promoted.
Once this medicine flows into the body, the originally paralyzed body regains some perception, and the consciousness in the mind is unprecedentedly boiling. There is a strong urge to do something to vent this power that has nowhere to burst out.
With his back against the rock wall, he panted violently, and a trace of heat came out of his body, and his pupils turned dark red.
Yang Che gave up using electric shock at this time, and rushed over directly with the lightsaber in hand.
Whoosh-
with a sharp whistling sound, the lightsaber suddenly slashed down, cutting through the cave pillar where the shadow was hiding, and then leaving a huge torn wound on his back, which was charred.
If it weren't for this high-quality one-piece stealth protective suit, the opponent might have been cut in half on the spot.
The shadow, who was forced into a desperate situation, held the flute in his hand, rolled in the accumulated water, and then suddenly blew it. Unfortunately, it had little effect on Yang Che, who was wearing a soundproof tactical headset.
He took a few steps forward again, and swung his sword again, directly cutting off the opponent's flute and arm that were blocking. There was no blood splashing, and the high-temperature and hot sword light instantly made the surface of the wound burn and evaporate.
"You forced me to do this!" The shadow cried and fled, then pulled out the special cylinder attached to his waist, spun it violently, and threw it at Yang Che.
The lightsaber slashed down, and the container of the cylinder shattered directly, and it seemed that there was gray mist coming out of it, and then an extremely uncomfortable touch came towards him.
As soon as this chaotic, disorderly, all-infecting and all-distorting mist appeared, it began to disturb the Aigeka particles in the surrounding air. Magic power became difficult to control, consciousness gradually sank, rocks, stagnant water, everything was distorted to varying degrees, as if a picture was cut into countless pieces, becoming a messy and irregular mosaic, no longer in order or regularity.
What is this...?
Yang Che was shaking, as if the world was spinning, and the lightsaber in his hand also lost its magic power supply and dimmed.
Suddenly, his body shook, and he became a little more awake, then he quickly retreated a few steps, and then he felt a little better, but the gray fog in the cave had begun to spread everywhere, and some of the dead flesh monsters on the ground even began to twitch, undergoing strange deformations, and disordered organs and eyeballs appeared on their bodies.
Everything in front of him made Yang Che think of an important chapter in the history education of every resident of the Federation and even all human descendants.
This is the disaster that destroyed human civilization at the end of the Twilight Age - Chaos Phantom! ! !
But wasn't this disaster completely eliminated and eliminated by the human ancestors of the past era in the Fourth Era? How could it still exist?
Unable to imagine the terrible impact of the reappearance of this terrifying disaster, Yang Che didn't care about chasing the fleeing black shadow at this time, and just wanted to report to the superiors as soon as possible. This mission could not be resolved peacefully.
In the darkness, the culprit who caused the chaos was still fleeing. He ran awkwardly through the puddles and kept cursing.
"If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have exposed the things found in these ancient ruins. Although they are the disaster that destroyed the ancient civilization, they are also the handle to pry open the door to the extraordinary. With this special existence, it becomes easy to advance. I really don't understand why the previous civilization didn't make good use of them."
"No! The humans at that time must have made use of them, otherwise how could there be so many Sequence 9s in the Fourth Era, and now Sequence 8s are so rare!"
"The technology and secret arts have not been lost, otherwise there is no way to explain the fact that civilization is still regressing." He cursed, scolding the short-sightedness of the ancients, who destroyed this "treasure" that could enhance the extraordinary strength for the sake of so-called peace.
"There is nothing noble about life. It can be created at any time like a mouse. Even if this disaster causes a large number of deaths, it is a small matter. How can it be as great as constantly advancing to the next level and approaching the gods?"
As he fled, he searched for the location of the underground river. As long as he used the underground river, he could leave the control range of Arpeggio City, hide there, and find a place to continue his research in a few years.
However, as he continued to wade through the accumulated water, the remaining crystal mist on his clothes slowly began to glow blue, and began to sway, like the blue flowers and plants blooming underground.
Suddenly, these blue light spots swam in the air, slowly changing to purple, gathering to form a crack, and then the crack tore open, and a black-haired and slender figure slowly descended.
She was wearing an exquisite black dress, her slender legs were wrapped in black stockings, which also had golden silk patterns, flowing with magical brilliance, and her upper body was covered with a black silk off-shoulder shawl, revealing her flawless white collarbone, and her collar was pinned with purple simulated flowers, blooming beautifully, and the center of the flower bud was a purple gem, with magical light spots constantly coming in and out and converging.
Holding a black-bottomed purple-edged umbrella, this dreamy girl slowly descended.
Adapting to this magical dress, Tilan quietly floated in the air, overlooking the shadows below. Although she did return to her home, it did not mean that she did not have the ability to return to the underground. After inheriting her sister's spatial talent, she was already able to travel short distances in space, and the crystal she gave Qiao Long before was the coordinate.
In fact, she did not think about returning at first, but just wanted to use the crystal to perceive and know the subsequent development of things. However, the development of this matter was far beyond her expectations, and it was time to intervene.
When human civilization first entered its glorious peak, it encountered the magical tidal changes of the Sea of Ekaka, which instantly damaged the three crowns that supported human civilization at that time, and also caused the collective death of the transcendents in the Sea of Ekaka. These trillions of dead human soul residues later gave birth to a virus that infects the distorted world, which is the Chaos Phantom.
In order to avoid this disaster that swept the galaxy, the survivors at that time had to flee and hide, until tens of thousands of years later, they rose again and re-entered this starry world.
According to the eternal covenant between the human ancestors and Lorenxia, this disaster should have been eliminated from the conceptual level of the universe rules. How could it appear again?
Tilan couldn't figure it out, but it would be better to stop the culprit. After all, the other party's behavior has threatened the world she lives in.
"Who are you!?"
The shadow below looked up and stared at the girl who suddenly descended. The other party looked only about 16 years old and was not mature, but this special ability and the luxurious magic dress made him have to deal with it cautiously.
Tilan didn't speak. She didn't want to waste too much words, which would make it easy for the other party to find flaws.
Simply raising her hand, a piece of blue crystal emitting cold air appeared behind her, and then swung it down, and these crystals shot out suddenly like a sharp sword.
The shadow smashed a blue crystal with his remaining arm, but soon the other few shot into his body and the surrounding water. The penetrating power of these crystals was not strong, but the coldness they brought was so piercing.
The accumulated water at his feet condensed instantly, making it impossible for him to pull it out. Then his lower body lost perception, and his chest was gradually surrounded by cold. The cold current rushed to his beating heart from all directions, and a severe pulling pain came from his chest.
Using the last bit of strength, he twisted a cylinder again, and the smoke-like chaotic phantom overflowed again. This spread everywhere that distorted everything, making all the creatures close to it confused and their memories shattered.
Is this the chaotic phantom? Before, it was just perception, but now it was a close contact. Tilan looked at the twisting smoke in front of her. Although textbooks and history books have described the horror of this disaster in great detail, she didn't feel any danger at all, as if the air was just a little colder.
Strange, why do I feel that this thing is not threatening at all? Is it because it makes me hallucinate?
Tilan waved her umbrella, and her figure flashed hundreds of meters away. She observed again from a distance, but as before, there was nothing unusual.
It was really strange. The girl closed her eyes and carefully sensed her body and soul consciousness. She checked carefully several times and found no twisted or obscured corners before she opened her eyes again.
It seemed that there was really no threat. She tilted her head and approached again. She raised her palm lightly, and the diffuse chaotic phantom began to shrink, and then condensed into a smoky gray crystal, falling into the bright palm.
It's nothing, the girl thought.
After thinking for a few seconds, she felt that it would be better not to carry such things with her. The girl put the smoky gray crystal back into the previous cylinder and sealed it.
At this time, the black shadow in the accumulated water had stopped beating and turned into a stiff statue.
Throwing the cylinder back onto the statue, Tilan looked around and sensed the surroundings again. Seeing that no one had caught up yet, she began to make arrangements.
Soon the arrangement was completed, and her figure disappeared again in the purple gap.
About 30 minutes later, a hurried sound of footsteps echoed underground, and teams of fully armed soldiers entered the waterlogged cave. The flying autonomous hovercrafts illuminated everything around, as bright as day, and the light waves of various scanners also turned from time to time, spreading out, and constantly reporting the surrounding information.
[A-141 reported that there were no other life forms around]
[C-U25 scanned, and the underground topographic map emerged]
[There are faint distortions in the environment, similar to the records in the historical database] [
There are traces of magic power remaining in the air, analyzing... It is tidal sequence magic power, consistent with the target]
[The target has died, the cause is being scanned and analyzed... It is determined to be suffocated after falling into the water after losing consciousness]
[Soul fragments are being retrieved... Traces of soul residues are found, but they have been distorted and contaminated, and cannot be further extracted]
[Key items are being searched...]
A few minutes later, two special cylinders were taken out from the dead and placed in a special sealed box next to them.
"Report! The search is complete. The key targets and items have been captured and recovered. The scene will be sealed off soon."
The underground cave was completely sealed off afterwards, and the chaos finally came to an end.
