832, Zerg base! (2-in-1)
"Huh? Do you feel the fluctuations of the Spectral Crystal? ”
Fengluo felt the message coming from 24K's spiritual link, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
"Squeak, squeak!"
24K screamed with some excitement in his mouth.
The golden body suspended in the air, flapping its wings, flew towards the sand dunes not far away, where the devil scorpion had been hidden.
Fengluo started the energy motorcycle and followed.
"Squeak, squeak......"
A minute later, both men and worms were on the side of the dune.
"Is there a Spectral Energy Crystal down here?"
Fengluo asked.
"Squeak, squeak!"
24K replied.
"You mean, down there is a bit of a deep distance down this dune."
Fengluo took a look at the sand dunes in front of him.
Because the devil scorpion hidden in the sand dunes had already rushed out, and then all of them were killed.
So the tip of the dune has completely collapsed.
And because of this, it was discovered before the wind fell.
Originally, he thought that the black thing in the middle was a dead stump, but this judgment was actually wrong.
It looks more like a black pillar with a tip, and the bottom of the pillar is still hidden in the lower half of the dune, and it is impossible to see how deep it is.
"Could it be? Ghost energy crystal, has something to do with this pillar? ”
Fengluo was puzzled.
"Well, that's not right!"
"This thing seems to be a bit like a kind of nail horn or limb tip or something like a creature of some kind of creature."
After taking a closer look at the black pillar.
Fengluo's eyes froze.
This thing is not supposed to be a pillar, but some kind of biological structure.
Fengluo was really surprised, but he wasn't very worried.
Because, the reconnaissance beetles that came in advance had detected that there were no life fluctuations within a depth of more than ten meters between this pillar and below.
It is very likely that even if this pillar is really the structure of a creature, then that creature should have died, and this is a corpse that has been preserved by the special environment of the desert.
That's why, he didn't stop 24K from approaching when he found out something was wrong before.
"Squeak, squeak......"
At this time 24K, after levitating on the top of the sand dune, he called out to a few gathering beetles that came with him.
"Squeak......
A few gathering beetles were ordered to burrow directly into the middle of the pit in the dune, and then drill down to the bottom.
"Smack......
However, a larger, elite gathering beetle, seemed a little curious, after crawling to the center.
He opened his mouthpiece and bit down on the black pillar!
"Smack!"
The elite gathering beetle can bite down the hard mouthparts of the stone like tofu, but after biting on this "pillar", it has no effect.
"Squeak, squeak......"
24K in the air, six small paws waving.
It seems to be very dissatisfied with such a stupid little brother, and let it hurry up and follow a few of the same, but take the ghost energy crystal below.
"Squeak......
The elite gathered beetles, shook the knocked-out mouthparts, and burrowed down.
"Is this corpse so hard?"
However, Fengluo was a little interested.
With some curiosity, he walked up to the dunes and took Devil May Cry from his tactical vest.
Then, with about eighty percent of the force, he reached out and slashed at the middle of the "black pillars".
"Smack!"
As a legendary saber, Devil May Cry is undeniably sharp!
However, when Devil May Cry's blade collided with the pillar, there was only a burst of sparks, and then it was directly shaken away.
And you can see that there is not the slightest trace of the position that was struck by the blade!
"It's so hard!"
There was some surprise in Fengluo's eyes.
Although he didn't use all his strength, he didn't activate Devil May Cry's additional skills or use flashpoints, but only tentatively used Devil May Cry Strike.
However, Devil May Cry's sharpness is B-grade.
The sharpness of the B class can't even leave a mark on it, and the defense coefficient of this corpse thing that seems to be some kind of creature is too high, right?
However, what makes Fengluo even more surprised is still to come.
Next, after attaching the Spectral Destroyer to his saber.
It was found that even the destructive ghost energy that could penetrate the ultra-thick high-grade alloy was not as indestructible as before when facing this black "pillar".
The knife attached to the destruction of the ghost energy only scratched a knife mark on it that was only a few millimeters or so deep!
This is still when the flashpoint has been opened, and the knife is slashed with all his might.
"This defense factor, is it level A? Or is it even higher? ”
Fengluo was really a little shocked.
Because, in the future, he tried more tests.
As a result, neither the corrosive ability of the jet beetle nor the laser burning of the steel beetle had much effect on this.
Even the killer feature of Fengluo, the B-level armor-piercing bullet with the destruction of the ghostly energy, and even the B-class armor-piercing bullet with the destruction of the ghostly energy, only made a pit of about one centimeter or so when it hit it.
The diameter of this pillar is more than a meter just from the exposed part of the surface.
That meant he didn't even want to break the column!
"What the hell is this, so strong in defense...... Could it be ...... Is it the corpse of a certain kind of zerg? ”
Getting this result, Fengluo was amazed, and his heart suddenly moved.
How exactly the ghost energy crystal was produced, he still hasn't found a conclusion.
Although, the "honest good merchant" said that his friend stole it from a ruin, from the boss's lair.
But Fengluo doesn't really believe what a businessman with "honest" in his name says.
On the contrary, it was said by a group of short-haired girls, which should be more reliable.
They got it unintentionally in the desert.
It is still a little strange to find a stone in the desert with no visible attributes, and it is not strange for someone to pick it up.
And based on some, Fengluo has a guess.
It is very likely that the ghost energy crystal is not a product of this planet, but should be a foreign product like the Zerg, and it is brought to the planet by the Zerg to replenish energy or do something else......
Well, if this speculation is true, put it.
There are fluctuations in the Ghost Energy Crystal underneath, which may mean that this "pillar" is the corpse structure of some kind of Zerg unit.
After all, the Zerg was the place where they landed in the first place, the Death Desert area of the Death Jungle.
And in that battle where the weapon of destruction was used, I don't know how many Zerg corpses were buried under this desert jungle!
"However, it was a bit of a miscalculation, and I should have called a scout to come along."
However, Fengluo looked at the "pillar" in front of him whose defensive power was simply incredible, and slightly regretted that he had come here alone.
Although, with his strength, with 24K and the Recon Beetle, there is almost no danger to walk alone in this mid-level map area.
However, there is no way to know, what kind of Zerg corpse is this?
And if there is a scout here at this time, a scout can definitely get some information after a scout.
That's where the Scout player comes in.
The city that never sleeps now has more than 20,000 people.
As the president, it was completely easy for him to find a scout to help with the mission, and no one could say that he was using his power for personal gain!
"It's just, I'm still used to being alone!"
Fengluo shook his head.
Since there are no scouts, you can only rely on scouting beetles and gathering beetles to explore.
"Squeak ......"
In addition to these gathering beetles, the eager 24K even sent the rest of the collection beetles that had cleaned up the trophies of the desert devil scorpion.
A full twenty of them, collecting beetles, are actually very fast in moving underground.
However, since 24K had given them the order to find the Spectral Crystals, they all slowed down, "sneaking" and searching down the black pillar.
One thing I have to mention here is that after 24K breaks through level 50, or because of the increase in ghost energy.
There are also some other benefits that can be obtained from ordinary battle beetles to a certain extent.
Although these gathering beetles are not scout beetles, 24K can roughly sense what they are encountering along the way.
And in the process, Fengluo was more and more surprised.
Because, a few beetles have gone deeper than fifty meters below at this time.
As a result, the root of this column has not been found.
Fifty meters doesn't seem like a long time, but if you imagine that it's close to twenty stories high, you can see how deep the pillar is deep into the ground.
If a creature is so long with just a "horn-like" structure on its body, how big will it be?
No, not fifty meters, to be exact.
Because, the collection beetle continues to drill down.
It wasn't until five minutes later that the beetles finally reached the bottom of the "pillar", which was almost a hundred meters away from the ground.
Hundreds of meters of columns?
Is this really, a body structure like a Zerg unit ramming horns?
Fengluo even wondered if he had misjudged, after all, how could there be such a large Zerg unit.
However, the facts proved that he was right.
At the bottom, which had grown to a diameter of about ten meters, the beetles came across a shell that they could not bite on and felt about the same mass as the pillar.
However, this is not the end of the ......
Half an hour later.
At this time, Fengluo's mood was already slightly numb.
Because, at this time, the farthest distance to collect beetles has climbed to a position that is a full three kilometers away from them!
The carapace of the suspected Zerg unit still exists beneath the desert.
Three kilometers, what is this concept?
This is already about the same level as the space battleship found in the dungeon.
The corpse of this suspected Zerg unit, hidden hundreds of meters underground, was even bigger than Fengluo had expected.
What kind of Zerg unit is this?
Even if Fengluo tried his best to think about the units in the interstellar game, there were some things he couldn't figure out.
Thunderbeast?
It doesn't seem like it.
In addition, there is another news that makes 24K depressed and anxious.
It was within this three-kilometer radius that the beetles did not find any spectral crystals.
To be precise, the energy hedron sensed by 24K should be under that carapace, or within the pillar.
However, for so long, the beetle swarm has not found a single passage that can go down under the carapace to retrieve the Spectral Crystal.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
Until another five minutes passed.
The somewhat listless 24K suddenly raised his head from the shoulders of the wind and screamed.
"There's a gathering beetle, found an entrance?"
Fengluo's heart moved.
……
Two minutes later, he put down the energy bike and stood in a position about two kilometers away from the pillar.
This is the base of the center of a circular dune, and the "hole" found by collecting beetles is located in the center of the center of this circular desert.
Moreover, because of the low terrain, this cave is very shallow from the ground, only a dozen meters deep.
Of course, if it is an ordinary player, even at this distance, it is estimated that there is no way to go down, after all, the ground is all soft sand.
Of course, Fengluo will not go down, but if he doesn't go down, it doesn't mean that he can't explore the situation inside.
"Wow!"
A gathering beetle emerges from the sand and burrows back again.
A hole was left behind it, and a scout beetle followed it and crawled into it.
Then, Fengluo took out a sunscreen tent from his backpack and found a place to tie it up.
Then the whole person got into it, and his eyes became hollow.
……
"Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow......"
There was darkness in the field of vision, except for the sound of two beetles moving.
Although this position was very close to the carapace, due to the large amount of sand entering the hole, it was only after two minutes that the two beetles got out of the sand pile that the vision changed.
At the moment of drilling out of the sand, the corpse of a somewhat familiar Zerg was directly exposed to the Scout Beetle's field of vision.
No, not one, to be exact, but a large one.
Fengluo looked at it and found that there were thousands of "scorpion" things in his field of vision.
It was a familiar thing, as he had seen it in the materials at Experiment Base 2.
This is the most basic but important unit of the Zerg.
In the game, it is called "worker bee", which is similar to the existence of collecting beetles, and specializes in collecting various resources for the zerg!
But why are there so many worker bees underneath this carapace?
And not one, but thousands?
"Squeak, squeak......"
Fengluo hasn't figured it out yet.
24K beside him suddenly screamed, and there was a high level of excitement in his voice.
This excitement was even more obvious than the discovery of the Ghost Energy Crystal before.
"What?"
"You're saying that this huge thing is the base of the Zerg?"
And the message that 24K sent out of the spiritual link with an excited emotion suddenly made Fengluo just as excited.
