But in the rock lake locked by the light, the mutation is steep.

At first there was a sharp whistling - as if a huge cavity had suddenly created in the magma, and then the cavity contracted rapidly under the pressure, and swam away rapidly under the resulting thrust. The magma restlessly agitated, and the naked eye could see a trail looming on the surface of the lake—the temperature of some areas had dropped, forming dark patches on the surface. Like a swimming fish, the spot trailed a long trail that stretched deeper into the magma lake.

The searchlight moved, but it didn't seem to be able to keep up with the speed of the thing. It seems to sense obvious hostility and tries to hide itself.

That's a good thing. At least it shows that the power of this thing is not strong.

Ueno Kanliu immediately gave an order: "Activate the cryogenic weapon." ”

There was a dull roar all around, and the ash beneath his feet began to shake slightly. The air along the shores of the lava lake became cold and dry in an instant, and the chill pushed into the interior of the lake under the action of machinery. If you look down from above, you will see that the red spot on the ground is rapidly shrinking. As if the shadows were slowly eating away at the power of the light in an unstoppable force, the Great Red Spot grew darker and darker, and finally there was a tooth-aching squeezing sound near the shore of the lake—the hot fluid pouring out of the wounds of the earth's crust was gradually solidified and rapidly cooled by human technology. Although they still maintain temperatures of more than 100 degrees Celsius, this is only for humans.

In fact, the magma has solidified. Solidified into hard, thick volcanic rock.

The three of them strode forward as the chill advanced, standing on the shore of the rocky lake, which had been nearly hundreds of degrees Celsius high before.

Far from it, the species hadn't settled down yet—its movements had become more flustered. The central area of the lava lake is not as bright as it once was. The rising smoke thinned out, forming a semicircular fog over the dome, like a huge mushroom cloud after a nuclear explosion.

In fact, the range of its activities has become smaller and smaller, and the spots of high-powered searchlights converge in the center of the magma lake, like a spotlight on a stage. It's just that it's not the dancers who are exposed to everyone's eyes, but the prey.

Li Zhen withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked at Ueno Guanliu.

He pursed his lips and frowned slightly. But Li Zhen could see that the other party was not worried, but a little complacent.

Because things are developing perfectly according to the plan.

Beichuan glanced at Li Zhen and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Zhen shook his head slightly: "No." You guys are doing a great job. ”

Yet he always felt ...... Something is wrong. What is that thing running away from? Just like it is now. Panicked and flustered. It's not so much a species as a child.

Adam is also a "child", but he is far more powerful and ferocious than any known human. Even if this thing is an "egg"......

That's also the eggs of the species.

The condensed magma has covered almost the entire lake area. The range of activity of the species is compressed into an area of more than ten square meters. The dull humming around them gradually became quieter - they went into standby while they began to store power in preparation for the next launch.

Ueno Kanyanagi listened carefully to the report coming from the other side. Turning his head and whispering, "It's diving." At a depth of about 40 meters - that should be its limit. ”

"Where's the Force Field Generator?" Kitagawa asked.

"It's all on. But it consumes a lot of power. We'll have to do it quickly—it won't be long before someone in Command finds out about the anomaly here. Ueno Kanyanagi said.

"So. Let's go. ”

But Li Zhen raised his hand and stopped in front of Beichuan Qingming: "Something is wrong." Wait. ”

Kitagawa snorted suspiciously. Ueno Kanyanagi frowned: "We have limited time. What's wrong? ”

"It's just...... Foreboding. Li Zhen said helplessly.

A hunch indeed. When he was in Shennongjia, he had some kind of peculiar premonition - most people use "a tight heart" or "a flash of inspiration" to describe this feeling. There is no basis for it, but I just instinctively feel it......

It shouldn't be that simple.

The secret service has already made such a mistake once. Lee Jin doesn't want a repeat here.

Ueno Kanliu chuckled, "We can't waste time just because we have a hunch of this kind of thing. Or are you scared? ”

Li Zhen looked at him coldly - the other party's eyes were filled with an aggressive chill, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a sneer bloomed.

He had to put down his hand and shook his head slightly: "Let's go." ”

The cold wind immediately wrapped the three of them. Coolness flows through the limbs, keeping out the heat contained in the rocks on the soles of your feet. The surface of the newly solidified volcanic rock is uneven, and many areas are insidiously hidden cavitations – if you step on it, you will sink into a hole one or two meters deep.

But with the protection of the Ice King, the three of them have no danger along the way. Li Zhen frowned slightly from beginning to end, staring at the small lava lake in front of him that was more than ten meters square. Bubbles rose wildly there, splashing dark red rock water onto the ground that had solidified.

As he approached step by step, the little doubt that had been lingering in Li Zhen's mind finally became clear—he knew where he felt that something was not quite right.

Resonance. I don't feel the empathy with the species.

Since Shennongjia, he has been able to use his strength to trigger a strange connection between the two, but now he can feel the presence of that species in the magma, but he can't resonate with it - what's going on?

They stopped next to the lava pool.

The magma splashed in all directions, hitting a dozen centimeters in front of him, and was blocked by an invisible cold air shield, turning into dark red fragments. Rumbling and steaming heat tumbled up from the deep well-like opening, like heavy breath from the depths of the earth. The glow of the lava was hard to look at, and dark fragments mingled with orange fluid, churning like blood from the earth.

Ueno Kanyanagi placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his face filled with excitement and eagerness. He smiled as if twitching and said to Kitagawa, "Quick...... Cool it down. I'm going to cut them open...... Chop them open...... We didn't have much time ......"

Li Zhen glanced at him. Ueno Kanliu twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's good for you to look at it...... Just look at it, haha! ”

He's ......

But Kitagawa turned around suddenly, looked directly into Ueno Kanyanagi's eyes, and said in a cold voice: "There is not much time? What time is not much? ”

The two of them were slightly stunned. Then I heard Beichuan continue: "I am who I am - what time is not much? As long as I ...... As long as I don't want to wake up - what's not much time?! ”

The sound of the wind was agitated, as if there were countless air blades dancing in the air. The surface of the magma darkened, and the gushing mist turned into sparse wisps. With just such a sentence, the surface is almost condensed.

Li Zhen took a step back, his eyebrows furrowed.

These two people......

Affected?

Affected like Watanabe in the data? So he shouted in a deep voice: "What are you fighting for?!" Didn't you say that you would be discovered in a while! ”

This sound was like an initiation, and Kitagawa Harumi and Ueno Kanliu were both slightly stunned, and then relieved.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. At the time of Chiyou's tomb, the executives were also affected by Adam's coercion, and it was his abstinence that played a role. It seemed to work just as well for now—though he hadn't figured out what he was doing, but he was the one who was immune.

Kitagawa didn't speak, just glanced at him and stretched out his hand to the already cooled magma.

The air below twisted a little. Then there was a "rattle" sound in the ears. The extremely low temperature caused by psionic energy descended the fluid channel, causing the remaining magma to solidify in an instant.

Ueno Kanyanagi pressed his hand behind his ear to listen to the report over there, raised his head and said, "Go on." Just now it dived forty meters, on the edge of the volcanic rock. You should at least ......"

Kitagawa snorted. Then a large cloud of fog and ice suddenly erupted around him. Strong air currents surrounded her body, and both Li Zhen and Ueno Kanyanagi had to take a few steps back in quick succession to ensure that they were not frostbitten. This time it's not just the magma that solidifies – even the surrounding ground is covered in a thick layer of ice. There was a little chill in the air, and the two of them felt that the gas they inhaled was dry and cold, as if there was no trace of water.

Beichuan withdrew his hand: "It's okay." ”

Ueno Kanyanagi smiled. He stepped forward and slowly drew the long knife from his waist. Then he grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands and lowered the blade as if he were about to plunge the blade into the ground.

Li Zhen frowned slightly. As far as he knew, this one's rating was a B grade - or a leap of the grade. Now he plans to use a knife to dig out the forty-five-meter-deep species? And it's not silt and sand - it's volcanic rock!

But Ueno Kanyanagi made a move. He held the knife in both hands and plunged it lightly into the ground. The rock was like tender tofu in front of this long knife, and there was not even a spark or a sound. Then he dragged his knife and walked slowly, drawing a circle. This is a circle with a radius of almost one meter, which is quite standard. The thin blade left a small mark on the ground, barely visible in the dim light.

Then Kanyanagi Ueno pulled out the long knife, examined it with pity, and inserted it back into its scabbard.

Is that the end of it? Li Zhen opened his mouth and was about to speak-

However, I saw that the knife marks on the ground, which were almost invisible, suddenly expanded, turning from a thin circle into a dark circle. Then the ground trembled slightly, and the rocks in the circle shook slightly, slowly sinking.

This means......

An entire strip of volcanic rock in the circle was cut through. It's sinking into the lower layers of magma.

This guy is really just a B-grade? Li Zhen cast a surprised gaze on him - was it because of this man, or because of this knife? (To be continued.) )
