One thousand and thirty
The passage is not easy to walk, the passage is irregular, and there will be water whirlpools in the passage from time to time, although these whirlpools will not pick up the mecha, but it also brings a lot of inconvenience to their movements. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, the treatment that Qiu Shaofeng did at the entrance of the passage played a role, and the green dragon was not chasing after him, as for whether he chose another way to go or returned the same way, Qiu Shaofeng didn't know.
Fifteen minutes later, Qiu Shaofeng and the others encountered a fork in the road again, this time there were fewer forks, two large and one small, and the smallest passage was closest to the direction of the spring.
According to their previous choice, this time they still chose the passage near the spring.
To their surprise, the inside of this passage was not as narrow as it appeared from the outside, and after entering the passage, the passage suddenly became larger after about ten meters, and the mecha moved freely inside, not to mention, there was still a lot of spare space, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Ding Yi controlled an underwater lamp to illuminate the front of the team, and there were no anomalous creatures in the area where the light passed, but there were a lot of underwater plants, probably algae or something.
Seeing these algae, everyone couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "There are no algae at the bottom of the lake, and it is really abnormal to have algae deeper than the bottom of the lake above." ”
"What's this, this lake has just formed, the underground river and the surface have been turned upside down, anything can happen, and it will be normal after a long time", the other replied.
Probably not seeing any danger, the team members relaxed a little and began to discuss it in the team channel.
Qiu Shaofeng didn't stop them, as long as they didn't delay their journey.
However, just as they let their guard down, something changed.
A mecha walking at the back of the team was suddenly entangled in the nearby algae, and it was so tightly entangled that the mecha tried all kinds of ways to break free.
Then, like a chain reaction, all the algae around suddenly moved, winding towards everyone's mechas.
Qiu Shaofeng discovered the abnormality at the first time, and hurriedly reminded him in the team channel, "Be careful! Swim upward!".
Some people move quickly, but they quickly leave the range of algae on the ground and escape the fate of being entangled, and those who move slowly are not so lucky, they are quickly entangled by algae.
What's even more terrifying is that these algae seem to be very parasitic, and almost as soon as they wrap around their mecha legs, they begin to multiply on the shell of the mecha, and in the blink of an eye, half of the mecha's body is entangled in the algae.
"Holy, what the hell is this?"
"These aren't algae, they're parasites!"
Luckily, the algae didn't seem to have the intention of killing, and even though they had all multiplied to the location of the mech bay, they had no intention of continuing to attack the inside of the mech bay.
Those who escape will also be able to contact the people in the entangled mech.
Qiu Shaofeng asked them about their situation, and after making sure that there was no danger to their lives for the time being, he said in the team: "We have to find a way to get them out, even if only people are out", anyway, he brought a lot of spare mechs this time, which is enough.
One of the team members who escaped with Qiu Shaofeng and them immediately stretched out a long weapon from the mecha and swept it directly towards the location of the nearest mecha cabin that was flooded with algae.
To everyone's surprise, the long weapon did not sweep away the algae on the surface of the mecha cabin, but was entangled by the algae.
Qiu Shaofeng hurriedly shouted: "Give up that weapon!"
The team member was also quick to react, immediately let go of the weapon, and took two steps back with trepidation.
In Qiu Shaofeng's mecha cabin, Ding Yi couldn't help but say when he saw this: "It seems that these algae seem to have a soft spot for metal, try to see if the energy weapon is useful." ”
Qiu Shaofeng also thought of this, and without Ding Yi reminding him, he had already taken out an energy weapon and swept towards the nearest mecha cabin like the team member did just now.
The results are more optimistic, the energy weapon is indeed useful for these algae, but the effect is limited, Qiu Shaofeng only destroyed a dozen algae with a full blow, and new algae will soon be entangled in the vacant place, which is simply annoying.
After a few attempts, Qiu Shaofeng didn't even remove a tenth of the algae on the surface of the mecha cabin, and other team members in the back also joined the cleanup, but the effect was also very small.
Qiu Shaofeng frowned, seeing that time was passing little by little, and he was about to order everyone to use a more powerful energy weapon to directly cut the mecha cabin and rescue the people inside, when the accident happened again.
One of the team members trapped in the algae was the first to notice the abnormality, and immediately reported to Qiu Shaofeng: "The wind is less, my mecha is melting!"
Qiu Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while what he meant, but after a while, he realized that this meant that its mecha was being absorbed and digested by those algae.
Qiu Shaofeng was taken aback slightly, and glanced at Ding Yi, and the two of them remembered a plant almost at the same time, "Devouring Golden Vine!"
Gold-devouring vines also have the same characteristics, except that the gold-devouring vines are not as exaggerated in their reproductive ability as these algae.
Qiu Shaofeng pondered for a moment, and after ordering everyone to directly use high-power energy weapons to save people, he turned his head and said to Ding Yi: "I'll collect some algae and receive them in your space." ”
If this algae really has something to do with the gold-eating vine, they certainly can't miss the opportunity to collect specimens.
Moreover, this algae multiplies so fast that it is believed that only a few of them can grow a large patch.
After the order was given, the team members quickly cooperated, and they rescued the trapped personnel without stinging energy, and sure enough, as they expected, these algae did not attack the human body, they were only interested in mechas.
Giving the spare mecha to the team members who lost the mecha, Qiu Shaofeng collected some algae specimens, threw a small piece of waste metal into the box containing the specimens, sealed the box and handed it to Ding Yi to put into the space.
The team continued on their way, but the rest of the journey began to be difficult, and they had to be careful to avoid the algae in the passage.
And, as time passed, they discovered that there was only one algae in the channel, and there were no other species.
In addition, they collected some mud and rocks in the passage for testing, and came to the conclusion that the metal content of these dirt and stones is very low, and I really don't know how these metal-loving algae survive and reproduce here.
Maybe there's something special about the soil here that they haven't noticed.
