Chapter 205: Arriving at the Tombstone Forest
While there was still time, Lin Chuan introduced the other members of the team to Meng Chao in detail.
The first is the expert team led by Zhang Weiyan, a senior prospector of Qingtian Group.
Most of them are auxiliary transcendents, who are good at integrating their own spiritual magnetic field into the planet's magnetic field, to perceive the subtle changes between heaven and earth, so as to outline the direction of the underground spiritual veins and identify the differences of thousands of minerals.
The most powerful prospectors can even transmit their own psionic ripples deep into the rock formations, changing the molecular structure of the rocks and affecting the geological formations within a range of thousands of meters.
It can not only play the role of a "human shield machine", drill a channel with a diameter of more than two or three meters underground, but also create rockfalls or stalagmites, block and support rock cracks that are about to crack, and even create a small-scale earthquake.
Therefore, although their combat effectiveness is weak, no one dares to underestimate them, but they are the key to the team, and they are also the objects that the combat transcendents must protect.
Then, there was a woman named "Dr. Ye".
Meng Chao was deeply impressed by her yesterday.
Because she was wearing a red hairpin, at first glance, it was a blooming red flower, and when she looked closely, she found that it was a blood-patterned flower.
Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that Dr. Ye was also an alumnus of their Agricultural University, but he was from the Department of Biochemistry, and was now an expert in the study of Blood Pattern Flowers, which was also the "secret weapon" of this trip.
Lu Siya firmly believes that the blood-streaked flower evolved and mutated by the radiation of the red glow jade.
Then, follow the trail of the blood pattern flower all the way to find the source of the red jade.
Moreover, Dr. Ye also knows how to deal with the Blood Pattern Flower, and she has developed a special inhibitor that can greatly reduce the activity of the Blood Pattern Flower in the body of carbon-based organisms, causing them to enter a certain ...... A dormant state.
"Blood-streaked flowers aren't the kind of fungi that multiply indefinitely."
Dr. Ye also told everyone, "In fact, they are smarter than bacteria and viruses, and they know that they can't fish for all their resources - if they divide and multiply indefinitely, and all living things are parasitized by the bloodstreaked flower, they will not get enough food, and the host and the bloodstreaked flower will be destroyed."
"Normally, when the host's brain waves are very strong and the vitality is extremely vigorous, the blood pattern flower will not 'dominate', but is in a semi-dormant state, only stimulating the host's metabolism and activating more powerful combat power.
"Many hosts do not hate the parasitism of the blood-streaked flower, but welcome such a 'win-win'.
"Only when the host dies will the bloodline flower fully awaken and occupy the host's body - it can be regarded as a very 'reasonable' fungus.
"My inhibitor can interfere with the Blood Streak Flower and make them think that the host is still alive and does not have to show too drastic traits.
"Therefore, even if you encounter blood-streaked flower parasites deep underground, don't worry, as long as you inject inhibitors in time after killing them, the probability of transforming into undead creatures is greatly reduced."
The explanation reassured everyone a lot.
After the team of support experts, there is the combat department transcendent.
Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that the team's force output this time was mainly responsible for an extraordinary team called "Blade".
The Blades are a veteran team that has been fighting in the wilderness for more than five years, slaying countless monsters, and has also taken on many exploration teams, mining teams, and various types of wilderness laboratories to protect the mission, and is very experienced.
The nicknames of the team members are very distinctive, they are all named after all kinds of cold weapons, the captain "scimitar" is the same as Lin Chuan, he is a four-star transcendent, and has mastered the mystery of "psionic resonance", which can not only use "spiritual vibration" to stimulate the mitochondria deep in the cells, release more powerful energy, but also change the molecular structure of weapons and equipment, turning ordinary weapons into divine weapons that blow hair and break hair, inspiring a blazing and indestructible war flame, of course, it can also use the principle of magnetic levitation to levitate in mid-air, It can be regarded as entering the house and stepping into the ranks of first-class masters.
However, this "scimitar" has a black mouth and a black face, and no one can get close to him.
"Lin Chuan, I heard that this little brother of yours is going deep into the wilderness for the first time?"
The scimitar stared at Meng Chao, but said to Lin Chuan, "I don't understand why Miss Lu wants to temporarily stuff a little guy from the Spirit Pattern Realm in, just taking care of those prospectors and blood pattern flower experts is enough for me to have a headache, so you'd better keep an eye on your little brother at all times - anything can happen in the depths of the wilderness, and if he looks for his own death, I can't risk my life to save him." ”
"Machete, mind your own business."
Lin Chuan stiffened his head and went back, "My people, it's not your turn to play the game of Ma Wei." ”
The scimitar cocked two whiskers like black scimitars, glared at Lin Chuan, and walked away.
"Half a year ago, the Blades received a guard mission to protect a biological research team to set up a makeshift laboratory in the wilderness."
Lin Chuan explained to Meng Chao, "It seems that someone in the biological research team made their own decisions and disobeyed the command of the Blade Clan, provoking extremely ferocious high-level super beasts, causing the Blade Clan to suffer heavy losses and was almost disabled.
"The Blade Clan returned to Dragon City to lick their wounds for several months, and in order to raise funds for reconstruction, they accepted Lu Siya's employment, so the scimitar is inevitably a little nervous, and he is extremely suspicious of all rookies who don't seem to have much experience in wilderness combat.
"Although he doesn't speak very well, this guy's business ability is still very strong, and the reputation of the Blade Clan in the past is also very good, so try to obey his arrangement, secretly observe his movements, think about his methods, and learn more, it won't hurt you."
In addition to the auxiliary transcendents led by Zhang Weiyan, the combat transcendents led by the scimitar, as well as Lin Chuan who acted as a guide and Meng Chao who acted as a reaper, it was Lu Siya herself.
According to Lin Chuan, Lu Siya herself is also a senior prospector and spar expert, taking the auxiliary route, and her combat effectiveness is not strong.
But there is an inseparable female bodyguard by her side, named "Lu Fengying", who was adopted by her father, carefully cultivated, and sent to various training camps to learn professional killing skills, and also stepped into the heavenly realm, reaching the four-star Lingzhen realm.
With three Heaven Realm powerhouses in the combat system, plus at least seven or eight Earth Realm Peaks in the Blade Clan, such a team configuration is indeed qualified to go to the depths of the Tombstone Forest.
As he spoke, the Flying Fortress jolted.
Outside the porthole, the Tombstone Forest is below, and the Angry Waves Mountains are also within easy reach.
This place is close to the place where the spiritual veins gather underground, and the extreme weather caused by the resonance of the spiritual veins becomes more and more intense, and the dark clouds of lightning and thunder are like surging tides, surging from the Angry Waves Mountains to the tombstone forest, impacting the air battle fort to the east and west, like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, suddenly being thrown high to the top of the waves, and suddenly falling in a straight line for dozens of meters, almost falling into the jungle.
In the midst of the storm, the fierce battle in the Tombstone Forest continued.
Humans bombarded the depths of the jungle with incendiary bombs, causing the carnivorous spiritual plants to "squeak" like demons in Hellfire.
Under the light of the fire, columns of black smoke rose into the sky, wriggling and twisting as if they had life.
After Lin Chuan's explanation, Meng Chao knew that it was not smoke, but mutated mosquitoes, flies and other flying insects condensed into a group, choked by the smoke and fled.
If they didn't smoke out these terrible flying insects without incendiary bombs, they would have been able to burrow through the cracks of the reinforced exoskeleton and suck humans alive into dried corpses.
However, although the flying insects have escaped, there are still a large number of hellish beasts still lurking in the depths of the tombstone forest, turning this place into a real hell.
But even a real hell can't lock the hope of mankind.
Looking from afar, I didn't hear the whistling sound of cannonballs, but I could see colorful balls of light exploding in the dense forest, and the shock wave blew down the towering trees like weeds in a devastating manner, and even black mushroom clouds were rising.
The sound of explosions was louder than the roar of thunder and lightning and the roar of torrential rain.
This is the Heavenly Realm powerhouse who is unleashing the roar of a human being, suppressing the hellish beasts in the tombstone forest.
As the journey of human civilization continues to spread, dozens of extremely large open spaces have appeared in the originally dark tombstone forest, where all carnivorous spiritual plants have been cut down and burned to open up a field airfield that can accommodate the take-off and landing of armored airships and air battle forts.
A large number of heavy construction machinery has been transported by armored airships, as well as modular pre-assembled fortress components manufactured in the rear, which can be assembled in just 24 hours, and the battle fortresses will be deeply inserted into the territory of monsters for thousands of years.
The Flying Fortress slowly landed at a field airfield southeast of the Tombstone Forest.
More than a dozen fortresses have been built around the airport, three trenches have been dug, a double power grid has been pulled up, and there are automated machine gun towers and high-voltage arc defense towers, which are very well guarded, and it is one of the advance bases for human raiders to attack the Tombstone Forest.
More than a dozen armored airships have been moored here, as well as two flying fortresses with magnetic levitation technology.
Meng Chao saw that the shells of most airships and air fortresses were painted with the logos of major mining groups, including Qingtian Group.
It seems that this is the assembly and departure point of many prospecting teams.
Further into the depths of the Tombstone Forest, close to the Angry Waves Mountains, the spiritual magnetic force field is even more disordered, and the extreme weather will become extremely violent, and it is really possible to tear the air fortress to pieces directly in mid-air.
Therefore, the prospecting teams of all walks of life could only moor the armored airship and the air battle fort here, break them into pieces, and advance on foot.
They have the same goals and are competitors, and of course the atmosphere is not harmonious.
Meng Chao saw Lu Siya walking proudly towards another air battle fort painted with the logo of the Qingtian Group, pointing fingers at the prospectors who stayed there.
It seems that what Lin Chuan said is that the internal struggle of the Qingtian Group is very fierce, and the struggle between the second and third generations around the throne of power is more complicated than the ancient court struggle, which is not an exaggeration.
After a while, Lu Siya came back, her face was a little gloomy, but her eyes became more and more scorching, and she said to everyone: "There are already five prospecting teams that have set off before us, including my two stupid brothers, but they have all gone in the wrong direction, let's hurry up and set off, we must be ahead of everyone and find the red glow jade vein!" ”
