Floating on the surface, Chu Tianjiang took a deep breath and immediately smelled the pungent smell of blood.

What's going on!?

"No—"

Before Chu Tianjiang could react, Iska had already jumped ashore and ran away screaming.

"Iska, wait......"

Chu Tianjiang dared to hesitate, and immediately climbed ashore and chased after him.

It is a cave underground, with a flat ground, traces of axes on the walls, and several dark passages around it.

Under the instructions of the figure, Chu Tianjiang came to a hall.

Seeing the situation in the hall, Chu Tianjiang was startled.

It was all corpses, mutilated corpses to be exact, human limbs, and internal organs, and the ground was covered in blood, and there were many broken heads. With just one glance, Chu Tianjiang knew that these people were not killed by sharp weapons, but were torn to pieces alive.

Whoever kills them is either the Daredend or a mutant like Vantaa.

Judging by the number of broken corpses, there were at least a hundred people.

Following Iska's footprints, Chu Tianjiang came to a smaller room.

It is a bedroom with a bed, cupboard and chairs, and is simply furnished, indicating that the people who lived here lived a life similar to that of an ascetic.

There was an old man lying on the bed, the corpse of an old man to be exact.

The fatal wound was in the chest, which was pierced directly, and the heart was crushed. Not to mention ordinary people, even strong mutants are bound to die.

Iska knelt beside the bed, looking like she was crying, but she didn't cry.

Chu Tianjiang walked over, he wanted to comfort Iska, but he didn't know what to say.

"He's the Great Elder?"

Iskar nodded, then looked back a little numb.

"We'd better get out of here." Chu Tianjiang grabbed Iska's shoulder. "The church must have attacked this place, maybe they'll come back."

Iskar stood up. "We have nowhere to go."

"There are other divisions ......"

"The Church and the Empire have begun to fight back, and the other branches must have been attacked, and we ...... We ......"

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, waiting for Iska to finish speaking.

Iska didn't continue, but handed over something in his hand to Chu Tianjiang.

"What is this?" Chu Tianjiang was even more puzzled, because it was a dagger. It looks exquisite, but it's not very useful.

"Tokens."

"What token?"

"Each of the Great Elders has a token of this kind, which is used to convey some extremely important information that only the people of the Alliance can read. The Great Elder left a message before he died, that the people of the Church had attacked this place, and at the same time the other branches, that the Coalition was finished, and that everyone was dead. ”

"This ......"

"This has happened several times in the past." Iskar let out a sigh of relief and said, "Although I don't know the specific reason for the Dao, according to the Great Elder, every time the size of the alliance expands to a certain extent, the church will launch a similar attack. ”

"Someone must have survived."

"It's just me."

"Iska, you have to believe that there must have been others who survived."

Iskar looked at Chu Tianjiang and looked very sad.

"If you think about it, since this has happened several times, and the alliance has been able to grow and develop again, then there must be quite a few people who have survived."

"I know now that only I am alive, and the others ......"

"What did you do after this happened before?"

Iskar was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Go to the Holy Mountain." ”

"Holy Mountain!?"

Iskar nodded and said, "Where the Queen of Wisdom and the Queen of the Immortal are buried." The Great Elder said that whenever there is an accident, we will go to the Holy Mountain. ”

"Then let's go to the Holy Mountain." Chu Tianjiang controlled his emotions. He had always believed that Clara and Natasha were still alive, but according to Iska, Clara and Natasha were dead.

"But...... But I don't know where the sacred mountain is. ”

"What!?"

"I'm just an ordinary member, and only high-ranking members know the exact location of the Sacred Mountain."

"This ......" Chu Tianjiang had a little headache.

"But first, we have to get out of here." Iskar took a breath and said, "Either way, we have to find the Holy Mountain." ”

"Wait......" Chu Tianjiang pointed to the corpse on the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't you think the Great Elder is hinting at something?"

Iskar also glanced at the corpse and immediately saw that something was wrong.

That is, the Great Elder's right hand was on the edge of the bed, only the index finger was outstretched, and the other four fingers were curled, that is, when he died, he must have pointed somewhere.

Chu Tianjiang walked over, raised the Great Elder's hand, and then looked to the right.

It was just a wall, nothing special.

Where is the Great Elder pointing?

"The floor next to the bed."

After the hint of the figure appeared in his mind, Chu Tianjiang reacted. The Great Elder didn't point to anywhere else, but to the floor next to the bed.

After letting Iskar retreat, Chu Tianjiang summoned a colorful battle armor.

The battle armor that suddenly appeared on Chu Tianjiang's body startled Iska, although he was very surprised, but Iska was even more sure that he was the savior.

Underneath the floor was a steel plate, but it was nothing to the Colorful Warframe.

Opening the steel plate, the two entered a passage, and then went to a basement.

Entering the basement, Chu Tianjiang immediately opened his eyes. Inside was a dazzling array of weapons and equipment, as well as a lot of guns from the Imperial Army.

"It's a knowledge input machine."

Hearing Iska's words, Chu Tianjiang turned his gaze to the device with a reclining chair.

"Still works?"

Iskar nodded, and went over to activate the device.

Chu Tianjiang also understood that Iska's knowledge was not learned, but directly instilled into the brain through this kind of device.

This further confirms Chu Tianjiang's judgment, that is, there are many scientific and technological equipment in this world, but they are not known to the world.

"It still works." Iskar glanced at Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to be brainwashed by the machine.

Probably understanding what Chu Tianjiang meant, Iska didn't ramble anymore, sat down on the recliner, and then started the equipment. An object resembling a helmet rose from under the recliner and landed on Iska's head, then emitted a blinding glow as the device began to work.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Tianjiang inspected those guns.

Although it is also a shooting weapon, it is completely different from the gun that Chu Tianjiang is familiar with. These guns do not have bullets and are supposed to fire laser beams or particle beams. The energy is provided by a battery-like device, and the battery is like a magazine that can be replaced when it runs out.

Obviously, this is a pure energy weapon.

In addition, there are a number of explosive weapons, but instead of explosives, they are loaded with restrained, unstable energy bodies. In other words, as long as the external force restraining the energy body disappears, the energy body will explode and be converted into other energy. Because the energy of the restraint also comes from the energy body, after the shelf life has passed, that is, after the energy body is exhausted, the explosive device is completely scrapped.

It didn't take much effort for Chu Tianjiang to figure out how to use explosive devices, and also found several explosive devices that had not passed their shelf life.

At this time, Iska also sat up.

"How?"

Iskar nodded and said, "Let's go to the Holy Mountain." ”

"Where is the Holy Mountain of Zhilu Dao?"

"The Great Elder unlocked all the secret knowledge before he died, and set up a program that only Alliance personnel could access this knowledge."

"Okay, let's go."

"What are you doing?" Iska saw the explosive devices that Chu Tianjiang was fiddling with.

"Blow up here."

"What?"

"You can't leave it to the enemy." Chu Tianjiang glanced at Iska and said, "Just because the enemy hasn't discovered this place doesn't mean that they won't find it in the future." If the people of the church know the exact location of the sacred mountain, then we have no hope. You go find something you can use, and we'll get out of here later. ”

Iska didn't say anything more, and she knew the importance of secrecy.

After installing the explosive device, Chu Tianjiang brought two guns and found all the "magazines" that could still be used. Although he had colorful armor, Chu Tianjiang was not afraid of the people of the church, but for him, the gun was still a more convenient weapon, at least when dealing with ordinary enemies, the gun was more effective than the knife.

Iskar went to find some food and some items that he would use during his travels.

Ready, Chu Tianjiang and Iska left this underground cave.

The explosion was so violent that even from a distance of several kilometers, a strong tremor from the ground could still be felt. If the explosion had been on the ground, it would have been terrifying. As you can imagine, before the destruction of the Shadow Empire, technological civilization had developed to a very high level. It's a pity that compared to the invaders, whether it is an underground human civilization or a shadow empire, the science and technology mastered are not worth mentioning.

The invaders are very powerful and are capable of destroying entire human civilization with a single move.

This made Chu Tianjiang a little desperate, but he had no way out.

Either way, it should all end, and humanity shouldn't die there.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang will not give up.

The Shadow Empire has held out for 10,000 years, and even after suffering a crushing defeat, it has never given up. Compared to them, what Chu Tianjiang is doing now is nothing at all. To know Lu Dao, from another point of view, Chu Tianjiang may not be able to hold out in the face of a powerful invader for so long.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang couldn't help but think of Clara and Natasha.

A belief alone has held on for thousands of years, and while they wait, they do not forget to prepare for hope that may never come. They were just women, and they were able to hold on for thousands of years, so Chu Tianjiang had no reason to disappoint them, even if they no longer existed.

Chu Tianjiang knew that this was not only for himself, for Nicol, but also for all the people he loved deeply.
