Chapter 57: The Pyramid of Peril
In ancient times, a fleet of alien civilizations discovered a planet that was still in the age of ignorance. These aliens were taught to human civilization and promoted the development of human civilization, and were regarded as god-like beings by ancient humans. However, these creatures who come to the depths of the universe are not gods, they are hunters.
It is a civilization that seeks to kill and individual strength. They used the planet as their training ground, using the local natives as carriers to provide a hostage for a monster they had captured from the depths of the universe. After the monsters are fully grown, they will fight against these monsters to prove their strength and bravery.
And as long as there is only one of these monsters left, they can continue to expand their population. All they need is a host and a meat mass. As long as there are enough human bodies, this monster is enough to destroy the entire world.
I have to say that the style of these aliens is very perverted. Maybe they can't find a strong enough opponent, so they can only use this way of cultivating monsters by themselves to hone themselves to survive their long lives.
And the humans on this planet are nothing more than a group of inferior creatures in the eyes of these alien creatures, just hosts used to provide nourishment and meat for the monsters they have cultivated. The sensation is somewhat similar to how humans treat mice in the laboratory. But humans never think of themselves as mice.
After listening to the ring's account of the history of this world, the promise was a big one. He now understood why the Ring required him to rid the prison of all the monsters. If one escapes, and it can swim, the planet will be in extreme danger as long as it gets through the incubation period in a dense crowd.
It's not just this planet, but the promise himself can't leave because he can't complete the mission, and he will eventually fall into this world completely. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't resist so many monsters.
"It's a world of confused values." Xu Promise shook his head helplessly.
"It's normal." The ring's voice rang out: "There are infinite possibilities in an infinite world. Don't measure the whole world by the laws of the earth. Because it's as ridiculous as a frog trying to pry the earth with its own weight. ”――
"Hell! What's going on? Keeping his composure, he silently followed behind the expedition force. It was amazing to watch a group of people gather next to a huge, perfectly hand-carved tunnel of ice drilled at a thirty-degree angle.
It was originally a whaling station, but it was abandoned a hundred years ago. At this moment, there is a huge ice cave here. The ice cave is not surprising, but the ice cave did not exist before yesterday!
Look at the dark ice cave that is almost impossible to see. Knowing that there would be great danger down there, he even wanted to call in a mighty fleet to smash the place to smithereens if possible. But he couldn't. It's not that he's going to be punished, it's because he doesn't have the ability.
promised that at this time in this world, he was completely a smuggler with fake personal information, and he was still a black household with no identity. Not to mention the fleet, even the expedition team in front of him will not listen to him, and maybe they will treat him as a psychopath. Firstly, he has no evidence, and secondly, he has no strength.
If he promises to have the strength to turn the tide with a single move, he will definitely be able to 'convince' everyone to believe him. Of course, if you have that strength promise, you don't need to convince others, just go down and clean up all the monsters yourself.
And he promised that he didn't have time to leave here to prepare for the outside world now, once those monsters broke out of the ice and multiplied on a large scale in the world. Given the human population, the only way to eliminate them is to carry out nuclear bomb washing. And there are bound to be fish that slip through the net and don't know where to hide and hibern. How long does it take to get rid of all the monsters?
If you can't get rid of all the monsters, then Promise will stay in this world forever. That's not what he wants right now. Therefore, even if you know that it is very dangerous below, it is very likely that these people in front of you will die because of this. But the promise can only remain silent in the absence of power. It's not time for him to perform.
A cave that is 2,000 feet deep, that is, 610 meters. Ordinary people may feel nothing when they walk flat, but if they are slowly descending in the ice and snow caves on a 30-degree slope in the climate conditions of tens of degrees below zero, the requirements for physical fitness and physical strength are not ordinarily high. But these are not much for the promise that the body has been greatly strengthened.
Once at the bottom, the team quickly set up the vital lighting equipment. Under the bright lights, a huge pyramid-shaped building that made people feel extremely shocked appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the pyramid that appeared beneath the thick ice sheet, everyone was excited. They think they've discovered something amazing, and fame doesn't even mean it's enough to describe how they feel at the moment.
The promise is to look at everything in front of him expressionlessly, and begin to adjust his state wholeheartedly.
He has been to Antarctica, and he has also experienced battles under the ice of Antarctica. Xu Promise, who had once crawled in the world of death, had become more intuition after his physical fitness had been greatly strengthened. At this moment, he could feel a sense of crisis coming from under the magnificent pyramid.
"Thank you." Completely unaware of what terrifying place he had found, Weyland embarked on a journey of greatness in his mind: "Let's make history together. ”――
'Huh~~~' on the ground, inside the whaling station. A panicked, remaining member of the expedition was running fast, but a sharp claw flew out of nothingness. The expedition member didn't even have a chance to scream, clutching his throat and falling into a pool of blood.
A flash of light and shadow flashed, and a burly humanoid creature with a metal visor and a body more than two meters tall emerged from the void. Retracting the metal claws on his wrists, he turned and walked towards the entrance to the ice cave. There, the bodies of several of the expedition members who stayed here were already hanging upside down from the engine that was originally pulling the cable.
One, two, three. Three humanoid creatures dressed in the same costume, but with slightly different shapes of their visor and armor, stood together at the entrance to the ice cave.
Promise knows nothing about the world, although the ring explains some of the information to him. But Promise still has no impression of aliens and monsters. He didn't know what a monster looked like, or how powerful it really was. Before he could really encounter it, he had to follow the short-haired woman with a pistol under her arm.
Xu is very confident in his marksmanship, and he believes that as long as he doesn't encounter the kind of monster that ignores physical attacks, he can deal with it, or at least hit. But only if he has a gun in his hand. Soon, however, the promised plan was faltered.
"What is this?" Upon arriving in a room filled with various bones, the expedition members were amazed at what they saw.
There are so many dry bones here that it looks very uncomfortable. Although it appears that many of the dry bones lying on the altar were sacrificed voluntarily, the promise knew that they had died at the hands of monsters.
These are the people the ring says are being used by the aliens as guinea pigs for experiments. And now the people who came in here have also become guinea pigs. Of course, I don't think so. This is a prison where aliens hold monsters, and humans provide food or meat to monsters. But the promise of being a variable in the world thinks that he will be the one who will end all this.
Soon, the expedition team found the second-floor room below. Many of the expedition members in the sacrificial room are preparing to go to the second floor room to explore. However, Rousseau, the woman with the firearm, was left to take someone to clean the sacrificial chamber, and after thinking about it, he decided to stay for the time being. After all, he was not willing to use a steel drill to fight against unknown monsters.
But soon, the promise was regretted.
I don't know what the explorers who went to the second floor did, but the stone door in the sacrificial chamber suddenly began to droop and was about to close.
Originally, it was impossible for a normal person to react at this time. Neither physical coordination nor mind shifting time is enough for them to react correctly, but promises can. He was keenly aware of the weight and thickness of the slab that he could not break.
Almost instantly, he reacted with a body that was far beyond the quality of ordinary people, and he slid out of the sacrificial chamber with a dodge at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, before the stone slab could completely hit the ground.
"Knock !!" With a loud bang, he looked at the heavy stone slab that completely sealed the gate not far from him, and sighed heavily, the gun has not been obtained yet!
The slate is very thick and looks like it weighs at least several tons. It is made of the strongest stone. He promised to take out the steel drill and prick some gaps in the slate, but was surprised to find that there was still a layer of armor steel in the middle of the slate!
"Bastard!" Promise slammed the steel drill hard. I don't know what's going on inside, but it's certainly not going to be a good thing.
Xu Promise's brow tightened, he thought about it, gave up the idea of returning to the ground, and turned around and walked towards the lower passage, he was going to join Woods and the others.
'Rumble~~~' However, after promising a little bit of effort, the surrounding buildings began to change like building blocks as if they were coming to life. After the series of dazzling changes was over, the promise of holding the steel drill with both hands clenched looked at the unrecognizable building in front of him and smiled softly.
"It's funny." Confident in himself, he made a promise to unravel all the unnecessary things on his body and threw them into the storage space to improve his flexibility. Left behind a chest lamp and a powerful flashlight. Shaking the meter-long steel drill in his hand, he pulled a flower, and then strode out.
"Come on, monster, I'll wait for you!"
