Chapter 937: An Unexpected Discovery
Now that the "extinction" virus is intensifying, there is no end of panic within the Spirit Race. But Chen Taiyuan got news from Wu Xinying, claiming that the spread of the virus had reached the end of the crossbow, and the bugs would immediately develop immunity.
Now, there's no better time to strike. Be sure to capture the Lord God alive and take the boat on the other side.
The people involved in the operation were carefully selected, namely Chen Tae-won, Lee so-yeon, Nobunaga and Yin Hae-cha. On the periphery, Mei, Song, and Huang Wenbing were engaged in fire from a distance, while the Great Elder and Xingsha provided close protection for the three gunmen. Lin Xiling and Jian Wu sat at home, so as not to be taken advantage of. In short, there are more summer-level masters now, and the manpower is indeed easy to deploy.
The reason why the three of them followed Chen Taiyuan was because Li Xiuyan and Nobunaga were not afraid of the impact of telekinesis, and the ghost warriors were much less of a threat to them. Yin Black Tea is a flyer, and may be able to provide help in the air at critical moments.
Chen Taiyuan is still relatively familiar with Xuyang Base City, not only did he carry out the Iron Broom Operation at the beginning, but also because of his proximity to Lei Ze, he has been here a few times. Nowadays, although many parts of the city are in ruins, the general appearance can still be faintly recognized.
According to the original report of the corpse eater, the area where the Spirit Clan was fighting was in the west of Xuyang City. Chen Taiyuan knew that it was already close to the foothills of Xizhao Mountain.
This Xizhao Mountain is similar to Leiyin Mountain in Leize, both of which act as a barrier to the city, and the military outpost stronghold was originally arranged on the top of the mountain, but now it must have been abandoned.
The main peak of Yuzhao Mountain is only a few thousand meters long, but it stretches over a wide area. Moreover, the terrain here is complex, and there are many karst caves inside the mountain, even if the locals did not go into the depths of the mountain much before, they are afraid of getting lost in the caves.
And now, Chen Taiyuan and others have quietly come here.
There were no alert cats and dogs along the way, thanks to two large-scale clean-ups of diffusion and extinction. When the virus spread, basically those cats and dogs died, because cats and dogs were obviously not as powerful as the lowest-level Tang-level warriors as hosts. After the "spread", the spirit clan arranged some more warning animals, but the "extinction" came again. The high-level leaders of the Spirit Clan were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they still have the heart to do these things.
And from entering the city to now, Chen Taiyuan has sensed a lot of strong man's breath. He now has a detection radius of more than three kilometers, which is extremely ferocious.
However, the distribution of the opponent's strong is relatively even, and there is no very special area. Chen Taiyuan then took out the mother worm that had eaten here and asked it to point out the exact place of the battle.
The insect mother showed the way, and it didn't take long for her to find some clues, all pointing to the origin of the other party to the west of the sunset mountain.
"However, there aren't many high-level spirit clans in the direction of Sunset Mountain. Chen Taiyuan shook his head, "We are now more than a kilometer away from the foot of the mountain, and I can't even find the existence of a spirit clan before." ”
"Not one?" Li Xiuyan became curious, "Could it be that it is like the Beigaoguo Mountain Base where I was imprisoned at the beginning, and special means have blocked your perception ability?" It is said that there are many karst caves here, and the other party regards Xuyang Base City as a base camp, and there should be a lot of spirit clans, so I think there should be some spirit clans in the mountain." ”
If you say that there are a small number of spirit clans in the mountain, Li Xiuyan will choose to believe it. But if you say that there is none of them, it makes people suspicious.
Chen Taiyuan shook his head: "But you should also know the industrial production capacity of the current society, can that kind of large-scale shielding equipment still be made? And it can be objectively said that my current detection ability is relatively strong, even ordinary shielding equipment may not be able to shield me." Including the heavy mountain, it only makes my exploration distance a little shorter. ”
Li Xiuyan: "According to what you say, the entire western barrier of Xizhao Mountain has been completely abandoned by the Zerg and is not defended? ”
Yin Hongcha: "Maybe it's 'extinction' that has completely wiped out this place." ”
"Unless that's possible...... But that's not right," Chen Taiyuan shook his head and said, "This insect mother said that it was the two Spirit Insect Emperors who came from the direction of Xizhao Mountain to chase them at that time, and the ghost warriors of the summer level. This 'extermination' toxin basically has no effect on the Insect Emperor, are they all dead?"
Unless it's a shift in position?
But when they were stationed there before, why were there so many summer-level ghost warriors?
With these questions, Chen Taiyuan and the four of them slowly walked over there after all, and they didn't find much in other places. And after arriving at the foot of the mountain, Chen Taiyuan found that something was wrong.
There are a lot of spirit clans nearby, but after reaching 100 meters into the mountain, they completely disappear from the sense. And this induction blind spot is very regular, roughly a circle, from two or three hundred meters in front of it, all the way to three kilometers away.
"It seems that Su-yeon is right. Chen Taiyuan sneered, "A detection blind spot with a diameter of about 3 kilometers, and it is an almost regular circle, it is obvious that some shielding equipment is doing something." I have to admire these guys, can they still produce such sophisticated equipment these years? At present, the industrial capacity of both the enemy and us, like ordinary precision equipment, is basically one less than one destroyer, let alone build a new one, even if the old one fails, and even the maintenance parts cannot be made. ”
Although they were curious about each other's industrial manufacturing capabilities, everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed. Because Xuyang Base City is the other party's nest, and in the hidden mountains in the nest, there is a deliberate exploration and shielding area, doesn't this make it clear that this place is very important?
groping his way up to the mountain, he saw someone standing guard from afar, which was also sensed by Chen Taiyuan in advance. The two guards seemed to be very idle, and they were generally Qin-level cultivators. Of course, the current Qin-level is really not too powerful.
"I can't sense it any further, but there are only these two in this area. Chen Taiyuan said, "Maybe there are too many people and it is easy to attract the attention of others." In this way, the black tea quietly flew over from a high altitude, and Xiuyan and I outflanked it left and right. Take the worm mother to restrain them so that they can't sound the alarm. ”
The result was very simple, the two ghost warriors who were on guard felt that it was too late when someone was approaching, and the Worm Mother, a royal-level natural enemy, appeared with seven or eight top-level corpse-eating insect kings, and scared the two guards into trembling and sweating. Yin Hongcha fell from the top of his head and slapped one to death, Chen Taiyuan killed the other, and even the spirit worms that came out were eaten by corpse eaters.
This time it's a raid, and I don't mind being noticed. With a diameter of three kilometers and a limited amount of space in the mountain, the four of them thought that as long as they forced their way forward, they would always be able to find their target. So the two guards here are dead, and by the time they are discovered, they may have already succeeded.
There was an inconspicuous stone next to the two deceased, and when you turned around, you could see that it was a passage into the mountain. The entrance was narrow, only about the inner door, but after entering it opened up in less than twenty meters, and the passage became as wide as a four-lane road, and the top of the passage was as high as two rooms.
There are dim lights, and there will be a not-so-bright energy-saving bulb about a few dozen meters apart. It's just to ensure basic lighting, after all, generators also need to consume fuel, and now energy is tight.
Further inside, you enter the shielded area. However, what made Chen Taiyuan a little relieved was that because his current strength had become super powerful, even in this shielded area, he maintained a detection distance of thirty or forty meters.
You must know that his usual exploration radius is three thousand meters, but now it has actually been compressed to a pitiful one percent.
And with this thirty or forty meters of exploration range, it also makes everyone feel a little more at ease. Chen Taiyuan is everyone's pathfinder radar, if you don't have this ability, it is really easy to have an accident in this dark area.
Slowly snooping forward, he found another pair of guards around the opposite corner, and of course he was killed again. And the most dangerous thing is that when it went deep into a range of about 150 meters, it was seen by a pangolin in charge of guarding - there was a spirit insect that got into the pangolin's head.
At that time, the pangolin had already turned around and fled, and Chen Taiyuan didn't even catch it in the first place. In the end, Yin Hongcha flew to the opposite side and barely blocked the other party, and released the worm mother to stop this guy. Otherwise, this operation would have been exposed.
In short, it went deep for about a kilometer and a half without danger, killing four groups of guards and two vigilant beasts along the way. Moreover, the third batch of guards was the most powerful, with as many as eight people, and there was also a summer-level spirit clan master in charge. The battle was slight, but not too severe.
At this point, Chen Taiyuan and the others have arrived at the core area of this cave. And as he walked along the way, Chen Taiyuan felt that the current height was two hundred meters higher than the foot of the mountain.
In front of them will be the core area of this mountain space. It is a vast area with a diameter of about three or four hundred meters, and the large and small karst caves in it are interconnected, and the terrain is extremely complex. It seems that directly in front, there are three passages with two large and one small.
Which one to take? Chen Taiyuan and the others didn't have a score.
In such a complex environment, if you go wrong in one way, you are very likely to fall into a deep labyrinth, and you can't afford to waste any time alone.
Just when everyone was undecided, Li Xiuyan's eyes suddenly lit up. No, it was a red-eyed eye that leaned over a small rock at the entrance to the hole on the left. Her night vision is quite good, and of course there is an element of chance in discovering this.
"There are words!" she whispered, leaning over to look at it and was stunned, the three words seemed to be very surprising - "little mercy".
"It seems familiar, where have you seen or heard of this......?"
Chen Taiyuan was overjoyed: "The banner in Daddy Yuan's office, forgot?......! Although it is a little distorted, it is estimated that it was written in a hurry, but it does look like Daddy's handwriting!"
Li Xiuyan was happy: "It seems that your father-in-law knows that we will come to save him sooner or later, so he quietly left us instructions." ”
If you directly write left or right, it will be erased immediately once it is discovered by the spirit race. Either leave your own high surname, of course, it is too eye-catching.
Instead, he left the words in his office banner, which looked unobtrusive. Even if the people of the Spirit Clan saw it, they might think that it was written here during the Base City era or even earlier.
Of course, all this may be useless, and anything written may be erased. But considering that people do not let go of any possibility when they are in danger, it is understandable that the old man did this. Someone was caught by pirates and secretly threw a drifting bottle into the sea for help, damn the five oceans and seven continents, isn't it much more slim than this?
