Chapter 45: Serendipity

Murong Feng's body seemed to be flying like a god, stepping on the snow without a trace, and climbing over the wall and crossing the house all the way was like walking on the ground. Soon they came to a half-collapsed building, where three large rusty pipes ran from the base of the building to the heart of the valley.

Murong Fengfei got on the water pipe, checked the lower pressure valve, and found that the gauge pressure was displayed as zero, obviously the water pipe was empty. Murong Feng turned over and ran along the water pipe towards the hinterland of the valley, and halfway through, he saw several giant beast skeletons lying in front of him, because he didn't know how long he had been dead, the skin and flesh of the giant beast had already been eaten by the beasts passing by, leaving only a huge skeleton that was broken. Murong Feng walked through it, as if he had passed through a high-rise building with a steel beam structure.

It's hard to imagine how huge and terrifying these beasts were! It's no wonder that the well-defended hunters' camp was reduced to ruins, presumably caused by these behemoths, and there must have been a terrible fight at the time. Imagine a mountain of gigantic beasts rushing to the turret-lined valley camp with their powerful flesh and blood bodies! Murong Feng felt shocked just thinking about it.

As he went deeper into the valley, the surrounding buildings became more and more scarce, and Murong Feng clearly felt that the temperature around him was rising, and the readings reported by the external sensors of the spacesuit were also rising, from the original minus sixty or seventy degrees to minus ten degrees, and when he walked to the end of the water pipe, Murong Feng even saw a touch of green around the steam cave.

The three water pipes had been inserted into the cave side by side, and standing on the edge of the steaming cave, Murong Feng could even hear a violent rumbling sound coming from under the cave! This felt like standing on top of a large boiling steam boiler, and Murong Feng immediately realized that he had made a mistake on one very important thing, that is, the geothermal spring vein under his feet might be even more turbulent than he imagined, and the consequences of opening the main gate might not be something he could predict. Don't steal the chicken and fold yourself into it!

Lying at the entrance of the cave and looking down, the steam in the cave was billowing and it was impossible to see the situation below. Murong Feng unleashed his mind and released his spiritual power to sense, and soon a huge underground cave was gradually reflected in his mind.

The whole steam cave is about 30 meters in diameter, about 100 meters deep, up and down until there are traces of artificial excavation, and at the bottom is a huge gate manhole cover with a diameter of more than 20 meters, and the three vent valves on the manhole cover are constantly spraying hot steam. Because of the huge temperature difference between the inside and outside, a large amount of hot steam only rises to the middle of the cave and then condenses rapidly as soon as it comes into contact with the cold air from the outside world, and then turns into a light rain and falls back into the cave, and then flows out from the drainage outlet on the side of the cave, otherwise it will form an artificial deep well hot spring.

Seeing this, Murong Feng suddenly took it to heart, quickly got up and looked left and right, and a discarded engineering mecha that fell not far away immediately came into view. Murong Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and quickly ran over and turned over to the cockpit, dusting off the accumulated soil covering the hatch, only to see that there was still a white bone inside.

Murong Feng quickly flipped to the side of the cockpit and tried to open the cockpit with an external manual device, but found that the locking trigger had already rusted and could not be turned at all, Murong Feng turned over the hatch and looked inside through the transparent hatch, and found that the locking device inside was not rusty, so he released the spiritual power tentacles to penetrate into the hatch and then slowly wrapped the lock and twisted, his mind moved, only to hear a click, the hatch immediately made a burst of gasping sound, and opened a gap, Murong Feng was happy in his heart, turned over and inserted his hands into the gap and pushed upward, Immediately, the hatch lid was slowly opened with a rusty click.

Pulling out the driver's white bones and throwing them out, Murong Feng immediately turned over and went in, sitting in the driver's seat on his back, praying while turning the start key that was still inserted in the keyhole. Turn it around and it doesn't respond! I still don't respond when I turn it again! Murong Feng was suddenly angry and slapped his palm on the driver's platform!

Tick tick! A series of intermittent electronic sounds suddenly sounded, and Murong Feng suddenly became happy again.

The constantly flickering screen on the bridge showed that this engineering mecha only had three bars of red energy left, which could only last less than ten minutes, but it was enough for Murong Feng. Closing the hatch, Murong Feng took a deep breath and tried to recall the essentials of mecha operation, although he had only piloted a mecha in a simulator in his previous life, but the engineering mecha was not a military mecha, and there were no complex weapon systems, radar systems, and other miscellaneous things. There was only a pair of control handles and three foot pedals with different functions, as well as dozens of buttons that Murong Feng didn't know what to do.

In the piercing click, the engineering mecha with a height of nearly five meters trembled and climbed up, but it was like a baby who was learning to walk, and Murong Feng, who was sitting in the cockpit, was flushed with excitement, it was the first time for him to drive this kind of big guy, and it was purely manual, and he started this big guy without any intelligent program assistance, just thinking about it felt a little excited!

Swaying left and right to the edge of the cave, Murong Feng tried to identify the function buttons, and then pressed one of them with some uncertainty

Suddenly, a deafening burst of heavy metal rock music rang out in the cockpit......

"Alright! Not this button! Murong Feng extinguished the deafening music with black lines on his face, and then selected another very smooth button that had been worn

I only heard a few pops from behind the mecha, and a few iron cable hooks popped out, firmly grasping into the ground.

"Very good, it seems that I still have a lot of talent for piloting mechas!" Murong Feng grinned, and with a push of the control handle, he drove this engineering mecha to jump down the cave! The rope wheel behind the mecha turned rapidly, pulling the big creature weighing more than sixty tons and slowly descending to the manhole cover at the bottom of the cave.

As soon as the engineering mecha landed, Murong Feng immediately started the laser welding gun to aim at the pressure relief valve and began to weld, only to see the engineering mecha raise its right arm and shoot a red laser to focus on the pressure relief valve port, but the entire pressure relief valve was completely melted and welded to death in dozens of seconds. Murong Feng glanced at the energy consumption and found that there was only a lot of energy left, so he simply turned off the other functions of the mecha and adjusted all the energy to the laser welding gun, and soon the second pressure relief valve was also welded, and then the third.

At this time, Murong Feng could clearly feel that the manhole cover under his feet was making a clicking sound, and the steam emitted by the third pressure relief valve was obviously more intense, and even produced a piercing sound.

Seeing that the mecha's energy was about to be exhausted, but the third pressure relief valve still hadn't completely melted, Murong Feng suddenly became anxious, and controlled the mecha to kick on the jet port, and immediately kicked the half-softened pressure relief valve, and the pressure relief valve immediately stopped spraying steam. Murong Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and raised the laser welding gun a few more times to completely weld the third pressure relief valve, and suddenly the entire cave fell silent. In addition to the movement under his feet is getting more and more frightening

Murong Feng immediately tightened the sling, and the huge mecha began to rise slowly, and the mist and rain completely washed away the soil on the cockpit cover, and when the mecha rose to half a distance from the cave, it broke away from the fog and rain layer, making Murong Feng's eyes suddenly clear.

Murong Feng sat in the cab and looked up from the bottom, and could already see the bright starry sky outside the cave entrance, as well as a big furry head poking in from the edge of the cave......

All right! In this case, there is an idiom, how to say? There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth?! If you are a normal person, you should be paralyzed by fright at this time! Murong Feng laughed at himself, then kicked open the hatch and got out, grinning at the snow ape beast that was probing his brain, no matter how it reacted, he pulled out his pistol and shot at the beast's brain door three times, and then jumped down from the cave without looking.

In mid-air, he heard an angry roar coming from the entrance of the cave, Murong Feng felt the wind howling around him, and suddenly slowed down his falling speed when he approached the bottom of the cave, and then saw that the heavy manhole cover had been deformed and arched, Murong Feng knew that this cave might become a raging eruption 'crater' in a few minutes, and it would spew out endless hot geothermal spring water!

Murong Feng's body twisted, slid through an arc in mid-air, and drilled into the drainage hole, because it was moistened by the warm rain all year round, so a thick layer of moss vegetation grew in the spacious drainage channel, which looked very slippery. Murong Feng's feet stepped on the cave wall, and his body plunged into the stream formed by the rain, and slid into the deep drainage channel

Not long after Murong Feng drilled the drainage hole, he heard a heavy muffled sound behind him, followed by an angry roar, and he didn't need to look at it to know that the beast that had been provoked by his success also jumped down. But the problem is that this drainage channel is more than enough to accommodate Murong Feng's small body, but for a snow ape beast with a height of nearly ten meters, it is like an elephant touching a mouse hole, and it can't get into it at all! And the worst thing is that this beast with developed limbs and a simple mind has no idea that there is actually a super fountain about to erupt under his feet!

"A beast is a beast, and it doesn't have any brains! I wanted to drown you, but since you are in a hurry to die, I will fulfill you, so that you can enjoy the taste of riding a rocket before you die! Murong Feng's feet kept straining, like sitting on a slide in the drainage channel, the faster she slided, she didn't care where the drainage channel led, because in her opinion, when she encountered the kind of sudden situation just now, she couldn't think about it at all, and almost instinctively thought of this only way to survive!

After more than a dozen breaths, the angry roar of the Snow Ape Beast completely disappeared in the deep drainage channel, but Murong Feng understood that once that kind of one-tendon demonic beast was provoked, it would be an endless end, and it would never leave the cave easily until he caught himself, maybe he was digging the cave mouth now! However, Murong Feng didn't bother to think about the fate of the beast that was destined to die, as the slope of the drainage channel became steeper and steeper, Murong Feng knew that the exit of this waterway was about to arrive, and immediately adjusted his body and stared ahead.

After only a few breaths, Murong Feng suddenly felt that his body was as light as if he was flying, so he immediately cast a levitation technique and turned back to the entrance of the cave, and then firmly attached himself to the cave wall, and then looked at the current situation.

It's huge! It's empty! This is Murong Feng's most intuitive feeling now! Outside the entrance is a natural cave! But it was unimaginably large, and it was estimated that it would not be a problem to plug a dozen starships, and the stream that flowed out of the drainage channel fell into the abyss after rushing out of the hole, but no sound could be heard at all, indicating that the water flow dispersed into a mist in mid-air under the acceleration of gravity. Without a height of more than 1,000 meters, this effect cannot be formed at all.

Murong Feng's spiritual power perception was only within a hundred meters, and he couldn't detect the bottom of the cave at all, and above his head was a thick rock dome, covered with mossy vegetation that emitted a faint light, which looked very beautiful.

If you don't want to take a magical and exciting trip to the center of the earth on an alien planet, Murong Feng will have to find another way out! Because there was already a terrible howling sound of wind from the depths of the passage behind him!!

Murong Feng crawled out of the cave with his hands and feet against the rough rock wall, and quickly crawled towards a bulge a few hundred meters away. If it wasn't necessary, Murong Feng would never use the levitation technique, because it would consume too much true qi. In such a ghost place full of dangers, it is necessary to carefully preserve every bit of spare energy! Because you don't know what's going to happen in the next moment, maybe you can save your life by leaving a little more spare energy now!

At the same time that Murong Feng turned over the bulge on his body, a hot column of water suddenly erupted from the mouth of the whirring drainage channel, and the powerful water pressure even tore the hole with a diameter of only three meters to a huge ten meters at once! Murong Feng was suddenly glad in his heart, fortunately he always maintained a cautious and cautious attitude and subconsciously hid far away, otherwise he would have been wiped by this terrifying water column and would have been shattered.

The boiling water jetted out to form a torrent in the air, and the boiling heat was rising, and the whole scene was very spectacular! And it is estimated that Murong Feng is the only one in the world who can see such a beautiful scene.

After watching it for a long time, Murong Feng stood up and continued to climb up on the rock wall, due to the angle problem, Murong Feng was now in a position where he just found that there was a natural hole on the rock wall not far away that only allowed one person to pass through, although he didn't know where it led, but it was better than being trapped in this ghost place forever.

Just when Murong Feng turned over into the deep hole, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and a colossal pressure rose from the bottom of the abyss, that suffocating feeling made Murong Feng's hands and feet numb, and his whole body was cold, and he couldn't even think of resisting or running away, so he could only lie on the ground trembling and wait for fate to come. Fortunately, that terrifying coercion came and went quickly, and it disappeared completely after just one sweep, and it was estimated that the weak Murong Feng was not even a small insect in his eyes.

Star Beast! Definitely a star beast! Murong Feng was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect to encounter such a legendary divine beast on such a wild planet!!

Murong Feng didn't want to stay on this weird planet for a second longer. As soon as his body regained control, he immediately climbed into the depths of the cave with his hands and feet. The cave had many twists and turns all the way, Murong Feng did not hesitate at all, and completely instinctively chose to go up, and walked all the way.

I don't know how long I walked in the deep cave, and suddenly felt a light in my eyes, Murong Feng stretched out his hand to push away the stone blocking the entrance of the cave and drilled out of the cave, and then hurriedly turned on the air purifier, just now I was running for my life, I almost forgot that there was no oxygen in the deep cave at all, and I almost suffocated myself in it. As soon as the air purifier was turned on, a stream of fresh air mixed with a refreshing fragrance poured straight in!!

Murong Feng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around at the current situation, only to find that he had unknowingly climbed to the top of a mountain, and below the mountain was the valley of the hunter's camp, and at this moment, there was a hundred-meter-high geothermal fountain in the valley that was erupting! And the whole valley has become an ocean. Apparently it was all his own masterpiece from last night.

However, Murong Feng had no intention of appreciating her masterpiece at the moment, because all her minds were completely attracted by the small crystal streamer flower growing in the rock crevice on the top of the mountain in front of her.

It was only at this moment that Murong Feng finally understood why those giant beasts would desperately attack the hunter camp established in the valley below the mountain! Why would the mighty Snow Ape Beast travel thousands of miles into the valley and then not leave?

It's all because of this little flower!

At this moment, the morning sun is rising, and the small flowers in the rock crevices meet the sun, and the crystal petals quietly bloom, releasing wisps of refreshing fragrance.

Murong Feng's eyes were shining, swallowing his saliva, sighing that he was really a great disaster, and there would be great blessings after the disaster! Knowing that this little flower was magical, she took off her helmet directly against the cold, and then reached out and gently took off the flower crown and stuffed it directly into her mouth, leaving only the roots of the flower path gently swaying in the cold wind.

Once the sun rises above the mountaintop, this legendary fairy grass should immediately wither, and the next flowering time is estimated to be decades away. The small flowers melt in the mouth, and the charming fragrance is even more intimidating, making Murong Feng feel like a fairy.

"Roar!! An angry roar suddenly rang out in the valley! A 'gorilla' that looked like it had lost its hair suddenly jumped up from the spring lake in the valley, its huge body was covered with hideous scars, and its eyes the size of a basin were blooming with scarlet light at this moment, staring at Murong Feng on the top of the mountain!

Murong Feng was suddenly choked by this earth-shattering roar, and almost squirted out the treasure in his mouth, but he still held back his choking, choked on his neck, and choked the whole small flower without wasting a little juice, and then regardless of the discomfort of choking on his lungs, he raised a middle finger at the beast with amazing vitality and tenacious vitality with a smile on his face, and then threw his long hair back into the cave.

When the snow ape beast rushed to the top of the mountain in a rage, its claws frantically swung open the hole, but there was still the shadow of a treasure thief. With nowhere to vent its anger, the snow ape beast thumped its chest and stood on the top of the mountain with a roar of rage towards the sky!!
