War Lord

Chapter 861: Advance Base

Recalling the time when I passed through the cave passage before, there were not few fish eggs on both sides of the rock wall. According to a rough estimate, there are probably thousands of them. With such a large number, even Zero couldn't help frowning. For him, who has already reached the eleventh level, no matter how many such creatures are, it is cannon fodder. But it's not like that for other people. There are too many of these little mermaids, and they are fierce by nature. Like the hunter before, they were cleaned up as soon as they caught them.

Coupled with the extremely fast speed of the mermaid in the water, the situation is generally unfavorable for them. It's just that there are such dangerous fish eggs on both sides of the passage. Why didn't the black owl remind them before?

The sound of the water intensified, and Zero did not have the effort to continue to study. He used lights in the water to signal the others to retreat. And the break of fate he had set before was enough to arouse Jin's vigilance. Ling blasted a punch toward the depths of the cave, and the front of the box immediately pulled out a cone of water and blasted in towards the school of fish. The continuously rotating water column twisted the fish school into chaos, and took the opportunity to swim far away.

Several punches were shot from time to time, each with the power of a reloaded bullet. Every time a ball of water resembling a cannonball was exploded, the fish could not be bitten and chased. At this time, Jin and the others had already swam out of the exit. Everyone couldn't help taking a breath when they floated to the surface. Jin swept the lampposts with his hands around. There was still a lake here, but the area was far smaller than the lake at the entrance.

At least, as far as the beam of light is, Jin has seen the land. He immediately pointed in which direction: "Go ashore first."

"Damn it, what's behind it." Alice glanced back, and the corpse of a man had already floated up. Looking at these little cat-sized monsters with baby faces, she was full of disgust.

After a rush, the group went ashore one after another. Zero followed them, and immediately pointed to the lake on the shore and said, "Alice, is there any way to freeze this place?"

Alice nodded and squatted down on the shore, pressing her palms on the surface of the lake to release freezing air. At this time, the school of mermaids had chased out of the cave, so countless bubbles appeared on the side of the lake like boiling water. Jin Ji turned the light over, only to see strange faces appearing on the lake. Those Shababa's baby faces, with four sharp teeth and eyes, are indescribably weird.

These little mermaids were attracted by the lights and immediately swam towards the shore. Their speed is surprisingly fast on the water, almost surpassing galloping horses, and they have caused waves of water on the lake. A few merfolk would even jump out of the lake, spread their teeth and dance their claws in the direction of the crowd. Suddenly, the black light flashed several times, and they fell into fragments in the air.

Ye Liu moved his fingers and said, "These things are really disgusting."

It's rare for a natural dull girl to express her likes and dislikes, but it's a pity that everyone is watching the lake now, even the nervous Hai Wei clenched his fists nervously. Alice continued to release freezing air, and a large area of ​​the lake on the shore was already frozen, and then this piece of frost was still spreading to the outside, and the lake was frozen into hard ice. The forward of the school of fish swam too fast, and many hit the ice cube artificially made by Alice, either stunned or bounced on the ice.

But once they left the water, these mermaids kept opening their mouths and panting like ordinary fish, struggling desperately. When I was lucky, I slid into the water again, but the unfortunate one lost his breath on the ice. The mermaid who could slip into the water soon found out that their luck had run out. The frost was still spreading, and quickly frozen them directly into the ice.

After more than ten minutes of continuous release, Alice stood up with a trace of fatigue on her face. However, looking at the entire lake, at least one-third of the area has become hard ice. The ice layer on the lakeshore is the thickest, reaching an exaggerated three meters thick. Even if the mermaid bites with their teeth, it is not easy to get up from such a place.

What's more, they can't go ashore. This is the same as the corpses of the same kind that they saw in front of the seam. In this way, these mermaids are currently only larvae, and they have not yet evolved organs that can survive on land. Blocked by the ice and rocks, the fish are swimming nearby, but they can't find a way to get close. It didn't take long for them to kill each other in the water, which shows how fierce these things are.

Looking at the boiling lake, Ling shook his head and motioned everyone to rest on the shore first. He took out the sketch given by the black owl and put it on the ground. It can be seen from the light that the route pointed out by the black owl can continue to swim forward after entering this area. On the other side of the lake, there is a place called the Devil's Throat, which is a natural cave.

After passing the devil's throat, you will see the wall of the abyss indicated on the map. That is another huge seam, which is more than ten kilometers long, but only about a hundred meters wide. As for the depth, since it can be called the abyss, it will naturally fall down and not climb up. On both sides of the wall of the abyss, the Shadow Clan people placed a cable bridge to travel, passing through the wall of the abyss, they almost touched the side of the Titan Hall.

It's a pity that now the entire lake is full of little mermaids, and the black owl's route has to go on, as long as it's not that easy.

"What to do?" Jin also looked at the topographic map, and compared the current situation. As long as you are not blind, you know that the original route is already difficult to follow.

Ling looked around and said, "Let's rest for a while, and then look for other passages. There are many underground caves in this area, and there may be other passages leading to the abyss wall."

"It had no choice but to do this."

After a short break, the team set off. The shore of the lake where they are located is very wide. Because of the darkness under the ground, the Zero and the others didn't notice it at first. They didn't notice it until they walked forward with the searchlights. They found that the lake shore was continuously extending and the terrain was occasionally undulating, but the area was too large. If it weren't for being underground, I thought it was on which plain.

Staying in the dark for too long, people will have no sense of direction. The team seems to be moving in one direction, but after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not go wrong. At this time, the murlocs on the lake could not hear the sound of tearing and killing, and it was estimated that there should be some distance away. It was dark all around, so it was dangerous to walk around casually, so Jin shot a flare.

The flares swayed into the air, shining brightly above the team. Through the light, Zero saw something from a distance.

"Look over there." Petty went with his finger.

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, and some unusual shadow outlines appeared just over two hundred meters away. It looks like some buildings, because their outlines are very regular, not like things formed naturally. In addition, under the light of the flares, some weird figures appeared, as well as reflections from the pupils of certain creatures.

This shows that the world under the earth is not dead and silent.

The light of the flares was weakening, and after they determined the direction, they rushed to the place where the outline of the building appeared at full speed. Finally, before the flares disappeared completely, they reached their destination. Obviously, this is a complex of artificially constructed buildings. On the periphery of this area, there are stone cones protruding obliquely. Each stone cone is thick at the front and at the back, so densely piled together, it looks like a sea urchin.

Stone cones are also not formed naturally. It can be seen that they are shaped by sand and stone mixed with some shells. On some sharp stone vertebrae, some adult murloc corpses were also seen. Looking at these things, Jin frowned and said, "These are fortifications?"

Nodded, it was obvious that these stone cones were fortifications, used to defend against the attacks of the adult murlocs. But who built the fortifications is a question. Suddenly, Hai Wei called out: "I found the entrance."

The entrance is on the left side of the fortifications, which is a hidden fort from under the fortifications. The outer wall of the bunker has collapsed, the mud and rocks have fallen off, and there are several human-shaped corpses inside. The corpse only has its skeleton, which is no different from a human in terms of appearance and structure. But when the petty fingers flicked the bones, they found that the bones made a hollow sound. A leg bone scattered on the ground was cut off by something. It is not difficult to see from the cross section of the broken bone that the inside of the bone is a structure similar to a honeycomb. This is a kind of lightweight bones. It can be imagined that these corpses were all beings who were good at speed before they were alive.

"These are just shadow people." Ling stood up: "I didn't leave the shadow people in front of the earth."

The team continued to move forward, and there was a tunnel at the end of the dark fort. The tunnel was so narrow that only one person could pass. From time to time in the tunnel, I saw the bones of shadow people and adult murlocs, plus countless knife marks and sword marks on both sides, it can be imagined that a fierce offensive and defensive battle took place here at that time. It should have been the Murloc who broke through this dark fort, trying to penetrate the inner area of ​​the Shadow Clan through the tunnel.

Coming out of the tunnel was a place similar to an armory. When Ling climbed out, he saw many simple harpoons scattered on the ground, as well as many rough stone knives and the like. There are so many bones in it, it can be described as piled up like a mountain. Among the bones, the most are the remains of murlocs. There are a lot of them, but they don't know how they were blocked near the exit by the Shadow Clan people, so there are hill-like bones piled up here.

Zero they almost crawled out of the bones of these murlocs and fell to the ground. Under the light, the ground near here has been attacked by excessive heat, and the entire land has been crystallized, like a piece of black glass. In other words, at that time, the Shadow Clan people used a certain ability or weapon capable of generating high temperatures to cut off the invading murloc army here.

But there are also many murloc corpses appearing far away from Shishan. Similarly, the corpses of Shadow Clan people can already be seen at the exit of the warehouse. Although the attack at that time was effective, I'm afraid that many murlocs also managed to get out of the siege.

Coming out of the warehouse, the lights turned on, and everyone saw some compact, low-rise man-made buildings. The building is very rough and simple. However, the materials are strong, the passages between the buildings are narrow and changeable, and the complexity is no less than that of a human base.

Jin scratched his head and said, "Where is this, the village of the Shadow Clan?"

Ling looked around, almost anywhere in the corner, you would see the corpses of murlocs or shadow clansmen. He shook his head and said, "It's not like a village. Don't you think this is more like a forward base?"

"Advance base?"

"The black owl did not say that there are many alien species that have been mutated under the influence of the **** of darkness. Those murlocs are probably one of them, and they are the kind of huge race. And here is the front line of the shadow clan to fight with them. ."

In the dark, it used its powerful forelimbs to press a fat abnormal mole to the ground. These moles that live underground are as big as puppies, and they are the end of the underground biological chain. But these guys are very cunning, usually hiding in the depths of the hard-to-find crypts. But this is not difficult for it. In decades of evolution, its group has evolved into one of the top hunters in the underground biological chain.

It has a very sensitive sense of smell and can smell the body odor of a mole within one kilometer. When it finds the nest of these things, it will use its strong anti-joint hind limbs to step on the ground continuously, thus making various noises. Moles are timid creatures, they live in crypts with high alertness. When he hears a strange sound, he will stick his head out of the crypt and look around, and this is the time for the hunter to hunt.

That's how the mole came from under its paws. It opened its mouth, which was a mouthpart with two layers of sharp teeth distributed inside and outside. The jaw structure like a crocodile gives it a bite force of nearly a ton. So after a bite, the mole is like a bite of soft bread. After eating the mole in twos or twos, it became a little lazy and wanted to go back to the nest to sleep.

It was the place where it was born, wet and warm. But when it was going back, it seemed to smell something. Sniffing hard, it smells of blood. This kind of taste is very sweet, even a bit more delicious than its favorite mole. It could not refuse the attraction of this taste, and its two powerful hind limbs began to run. Even though the terrain here is complicated, it can overcome any obstacle.

Just as it rushed out of a lane, it suddenly felt a cold sensation in several parts of its body. It was like the cold outside air suddenly entered its hot body, and then all its feelings disappeared. After several black silk threads were connected to its body for a few flashes, its body was instantly dismembered into several segments. When the fragments of the corpse fell to the ground, the blood and internal organs slid out and spilled all over the ground.

Seeing this alien beast dismembered to pieces, he said with zero headache: "Ye Liu, can't you just stun it? Or, let it leave a whole body."

Ye Liu tilted his head and looked towards Zero, as if he couldn't understand that he was killing these guys anyway. What is the difference between leaving a whole body and dismembering?

Ling looked at the pile of fragments on the ground, it was already difficult to put this strange beast together again. When they left the warehouse and placed the base deep, they found that the base was already occupied by another creature. Leah performed a mental scan of this forward base and found a hall with a bio-energy response. Zero led the team to the hall. Since the Shadow Clan people can come to this place that is already close to the underground exit to establish a forward base, it means that there are other passages to the Titan Hall. It stands to reason that since the wisdom has been developed, then the Shadow Clan people should leave a record or something.

This is the instinct of intelligent life to pass on knowledge, zero hope to find relevant records and discover other passages leading to the Hall of Titans. Just as soon as he reached the base, he was attacked by an alien beast. In the past few attacks, these things were dismembered to pieces by Ye Liu before they rushed forward, making it impossible for Zero to understand what these things were.

To know how many strange and dangerous creatures they will encounter on the way to the Titan Hall. It's always good to know more about the structure of underground creatures, but Ye Liu's shot is so fierce that there is basically no possibility of staying alive, which makes Zero a little bit distressed. He decided to come by himself next time, when there was a muffled noise, he followed Hai Wei and said with a smile: "Head, let's see what I find?"

With a wave of her hand, she threw a strange beast that was about the size of the Wolf Gale that had been placed in Haqqara. The head of this strange beast sank deeply, and it seemed that Hai Wei was shot to death with blunt force. But at least, it retains a complete body.

Jin and Alice turned off the lights, and an underground creature like a monitor lizard appeared in everyone's eyes. It's a monitor lizard, but it looks like it. But many major parts of the body have changed, like the hind limbs have evolved into an anti-joint structure, which allows them to run upright like a Velociraptor.

The head is long and big, because it lives underground, the eyes have degenerated and are almost invisible. The whole body of this alien beast is covered by a hard bony carapace. The bony carapace replaces the original scales, which can effectively control the leakage of body temperature, and the defensive power is more heavy. Regardless of the forelegs or hind limbs, its claws are like a sharp saber, capable of tearing many things apart.

This guy's tail is even more terrifying. It wraps the carapace of the tail. There are sharp bone knives distributed on the outer layer, and the tail end is a cone-shaped sharp bone spur. If this thing is pierced into the body, it will leave a big gap in the mouth of the bowl, which will cause a huge amount of bleeding to the prey.

Zero accidentally pressed a tendon in his jaw when examining its head. Suddenly the alien beast opened its mouth~lightnovelpub.net~ and ejected a long tongue from it. The tongue end hit a nearby building wall, leaving a gap like a bullet hole. And from the mouth of the alien beast to the wall of the building, there is a difference of more than one meter, which shows how long this tongue suddenly becomes. There is a cross-shaped opening at the end of the tongue. When the petty rubble on the ground separates it, it is seen that it is covered with fleshy teeth and the tongue is hollow.

If this thing is allowed to hit the organism and cause huge impact damage, the tongue can also stay in the organism and **** the flesh and blood, causing greater damage. All in all, this is a hunter who only stands at the top of the biological chain. It is simply a perfect killing machine.

"It's a bit of a biological weapon." Jin said.

Zero nodded in agreement.

He stood up, looked in the direction of the hall and said, "There is still a nest of things like this waiting for us, everyone, get ready for battle."

"I like the one that cleans up pests the most." Jin laughed. Being underground, people with the ability of the earth element get quite a bonus. Fighting in such an environment, he can even beat Alice, who has always been stronger than him.

"These are some big pests." Ling said as he looked at the dead animal on the ground that was about the size of a calf.
