"The energy flow level is stable, the flow direction is stable, and the energy nodes are functioning normally...... Final confirmation has passed. ”

"Let's get started, hopefully this test will be a success. What is the situation of the tribes now? ”

"The new tribal assembly is about to begin, and they don't have the time and energy to pay attention to other things, and judging from the current situation, the 'sacred mountain' is still the ultimate goal they aspire to."

"Keep watching, we've come to this point, and we can't have any surprises at a critical moment—huh?"

"There have been fluctuations in the transmission of the 23rd energy node, and the level of influence is low. Is there some kind of influence of high-level energy bodies? ”

"There should be no life energy bodies at the 23rd Energy Node, and there are all undead creatures created by past experimental devices...... Intruders? ”

"There are magical creations left over from the Adventure Era as protection, and ordinary life energy bodies cannot invade."

"That means that the intruder has the qualities of a high-level energy body? What are the recent emerging threats in the vicinity? ”

"The data shows that the tribe named Nasu is migrating near the direction of that node, and there is a great probability that the surviving adventurers who once appeared at the eastern end of the Endless Bridge are mixed in."

"It's those adventurers who want to resurrect the Magic Empire that they met before, right? Hum...... What about the Shi tribe? Aren't they supposed to be responsible for hunting down these exiled losers? ”

"It's true that the Nashi people are still slowly moving south, but judging by the movement tracks they have left behind, they don't have any intention of pursuing them further - do you need to change the surveillance object?"

"It seems that more puppets need to be found as replacements. Let those who want to follow us go, and give them a chance to sacrifice and sacrifice for us...... Not. ”

"The energy transmission tends to stabilize, and node 23 enters a slow-flow state - the fluctuation just now does not seem to have any effect on this experiment."

"The guidance error rate is maintained below 1%, which is almost negligible...... Since the experiment has not been affected in any way, do we need to keep an eye on it? ”

"Of course, we need to keep an eye on them, those adventurers are one of the only remaining destabilizing factors in this world, and judging from the information we have, it is very likely that these adventurers have already spied into the essence of this world."

"Then let 'them' go, the final energy-harvesting experiment is inevitable, and since we don't have time to leave this supreme place—"

"Leaving it up to 'them' to deal with it should have given those beings enough respect."

********************************

"The energy fluctuations are sorted out."

Falling into a cave at the edge of the connecting area, the gray-robed Duan Qing opened his eyes with difficulty, and after trying to get up from the ground, he also landed his gaze on the tall mechanical back standing on the edge of the wind in front of him, and the electronic synthesis voice of the other party that was still ringing was also heard in his ears: "The remaining energy fluctuations are being detected." Residual energy fluctuations subside by 35%...... Remnants subsided 23%......"

"How...... Will be ...... At this time......" His ears then sounded the whisper of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "My bones...... It's going to fall apart......"

"No way, who let you two get caught by that guy?" The lazy voice then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, revealing the figure belonging to Shi Ayun standing in the depths of the cave with his arms crossed into the eyes of the gray-robed magician: "This guy obviously doesn't know how hard to use, and it is already a very good result if he didn't use his big hands to clip off your fragile little body." ”

"You, when did you come here?" So Duan Qing's voice replied even more surprised: "You are actually still alive?" ”

"What's that called?" His surprise unexpectedly caused Shi Ayun to cry out angrily: "Do you still expect me to die?" Are you still not my companions? ”

"You had to burrow into the underground of this ruin, but we rolled down together to stop you! Don't think we've worked together a few times before, we're really teammates! ”

"It's a shame that I saved the lives of both of you before, and I helped you block so many enemies just now! Well, since you say so, then I won't care about you in the future! ”

"Then you should go, the road is behind you, you just need to turn around and continue walking towards the depths of the cave, even Sayonara and I don't bother...... What the? Is this road a dead end? ”

The argument that gradually rose gradually unfolded in the air between Duan Qing and Shi Ayun, and the conversation that seemed to want to break through the dull atmosphere was also silenced as the wind behind Duan Qing was calming down, and the gray-robed magician who had been paying attention to the direction of the storm then also fell his gaze in front of the motionless back of the tall magical creation, but the thought of what he was about to say was instantly blocked by the wind that passed through the gap between the mechanical body of Kyle II: "Cough, cough... … It's so dangerous, I thought I was going to suffocate just now. ”

"Until the storm has completely subsided, I advise you not to be exposed to open areas." The advice of Kyle II then rose in his ears: "Please don't worry, in another thirty seconds, this energy fluctuation will completely subside." ”

"The subsidence of energy fluctuations does not mean the subsidence of storms, right? Really...... It is impossible that such a powerful storm could occur at this critical moment. Still with that extremely weak appearance, the voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "But is this storm really caused by energy fluctuations?" ”

"Yes."

Without too much hesitation or too many words, Kyle II replied to the humans at his feet with two simple words, and it seemed that the square head that had been damaged by the previous fierce battle also passed by Duan Qing and the others one by one with the brilliance of scanning, and the electronic synthesis voice that came out of nowhere did not have the slightest intention to continue to answer Xue Ling's doubts: "...... Uh, so what? What exactly is this energy storm? ”

"Please check the permissions."

"It's permission again, do you know what it is?" In the scene in front of them, Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice, the incomprehensible voice of Shi Ayun was the first to sound from behind them: "Why does it always need to answer questions in this way?" ”

"Well, if we don't have a clue, we might have to stop there." Ignoring Shi Ayun's question, Duan Qing, who let out a sigh, then turned his gaze to the white-haired woman's body beside him: "How do you feel?" Can you still act? ”

"There is no problem with the action, at least the system ...... At least my body didn't tell me anything serious enough to affect my activities. Rubbing his waist, Xue Lingphantom Ice struggled and gestured to the huge black barrel in his hand that seemed to be bent: "It's this thing...... This guy isn't broken, is he? ”

"It's okay, it's a big deal to fix it again." Waving his hand, Duan Qing replied indifferently, "The impact and destructive force that is enough to cause damage to the body of the spear of this material...... I was lucky to be able to save my life. ”

"We've survived until now thanks to it, and we have to be grateful." Stuffing the body of the spear that was still emitting heat back into Duan Qing's hand again, Xue Lingphantom Ice lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "I need to recover my shoulders first, otherwise I may really need to lie on the stretcher and be carried away by you later." ”

"Hey, isn't it me the inventor to be most thankful?"

Comparing his thumb to the other party, Duan Qing, who was half-joking, then sprinkled a very thin healing energy on the woman's shoulder: "Although we have been despised by other powerhouses, our physical fitness is at least qualified. What we couldn't do and what we couldn't bear can now be easily endured. ”

"As the initiator, I have to commend this experiment for being very successful." patting the other party's lowered head, Duan Qing's gaze also fell on the endless wind in front of several people: "Now...... Let's see what the results of this experiment will be. ”

"Experiments? What experiments? ”

"Didn't we have a conjecture before? The underground lab where we are located has not completely ceased its function. Answering Xue Ling's doubts, Duan Qing still stared intently at the Tail of the Storm that was isolated by the tall Kyle II with his body: "Although it is not explicitly stated, Kyle II has already hinted to us in various ways that the next storm is coming, and we were in such a hurry to get parts to repair the bridge, but also to be able to complete the escape before this storm arrives." ”

"The storm came as scheduled, but we didn't finish the journey." The player then sighed again, "If it hadn't been carried to this place by Kyle II in advance, we would probably be flying in the air like those skeletons right now." ”

"It's not just flying, maybe it's going to be torn to shreds." A voice of disdain then sounded behind him, accompanied by Nashi Ayun's suddenly realized expression: "Wait a minute, if the storm of the ruins is as regular as the monsoon on the grassland, then why can there be so many undead creatures left in this place?" ”

"Since they are undead, how can they have the concept of fear of death in their consciousness?" Raising his head, the pouting Snow Spirit Phantom Ice replied as a matter of course: "They are not afraid of death, and naturally they have no fear of the storm that is about to pass through this place, so it should not be strange to stay here." ”

"The question is not whether they have the concept of a 'storm is coming.'" Pointing to the metal platform in front of him, which was torn by the upward wind and had been cleaned up at this time, Duan Qing's face also showed a solemn look: "The problem is that they haven't actually retreated, but now they've all disappeared, that is to say—"

"There must be some way for these skeletons to reappear in all corners of the underground ruins." He subconsciously lowered his voice, "Either they have a way to go and come back, or there is a source here that can re-'rearrange' these skeletons back." ”

"Underground undead spawners?"

The silence, contrary to the continuous whistling of the outside world, lasted for a moment between several people, and the slightly hesitant voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice sounded in a low voice again: "Is there a way to create the undead here?" Those skeletons are spawned...... Generated? ”

"I don't know, there is no evidence to prove it yet." Duan Qing, who answered her, shook his head slightly: "Along the way, we can indeed see these skeletons everywhere, and if there are magic devices similar to creating undead or transforming undead, there is also the possibility of existence in every corner. ”

"If you want to understand this, you may need to observe for a long time." Speaking of this, he involuntarily turned his gaze to the front: "Or—find someone who understands better." ”

"But the presence of Kyle II shows that it is not possible." Before Duan Qing could finish his words, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side hurriedly stopped the action he wanted to ask forward: "If the purpose of the underground laboratory is to create undead, then what is the reason why Kyle II has been cleaning up these undead threats before?" Aren't these undead products of this experimental area? ”

"Don't panic, our identity and status are guaranteed now."

Patting the other party's pale arm, Duan Qing reluctantly squeezed out a smile at the other party: "We are now 'visitors', we are friendly units, and in line with the relationship that we have been helping each other for a long time, I will not do anything that violates the agreement." ”

"I'm only going to knock on the side." He pressed his forehead, and his expression was full of friendly smiles when he stepped forward again: "Kyle II, this cave is not one of the established areas and routes, is it?" ”

"That's right, visitor." Still shielding the storm in front of him with a heavy and thick metal body, the synthesized voice that belonged to Kyle II was also a little blurry in Duan Qing's ears: "This is a shelter I have temporarily dug out to avoid the existence of this storm, there is no passage behind the cave, and it is two miles away from the nearest accessible area in a straight line." ”

"Really?" So Duan Qing blinked his eyes again: "What is that area called?" Is it the point where we are about to reach it? ”

"No, the magic teleportation area is on the opposite side of the south side of A2, directly in front of what we're currently facing." The square head tilted slightly, and Kyle II replied in a calm voice: "The connecting area A and the north and south bridge and the connecting area II should have been shrouded in the energy storm now, and the recuperation area you want to find also needs to pass through the north bridge and connect to the third area to reach." ”

"With where we are at the moment, I suggest you go to the rest area on the north side of Sector III." The voice of the electro flickered on its body for a while, then turned into a calm voice belonging to Kyle II: "According to my information on a class of lifeforms—"

"You need to 'eat' and 'sleep' every once in a while, don't you?"
