Chapter 222: Collapse
"Be careful!"
The three Heavenly Realm powerhouses soared into the air at the same time, and the sword light and sword shadows and the souls of the immortal birds and beasts intertwined into a layer of psionic defense shields above everyone's heads, smashing the rocks with a diameter of more than one meter.
But there were so many falling rocks that even if they turned into fist-sized stones, they still continued to bombard like a storm.
Caught off guard, many people were hit by falling rocks.
Rao was a transcendent person's strong physique, and he was also smashed to the point that his head was bleeding.
A large amount of exploration equipment has also been smashed and buried in rubble.
"Look—"
Someone pointed to the white shadow that flashed above the rock wall, "There's something there!" ”
"The whole rock wall is going to collapse, run forward!"
Lin Chuan shouted, "Lu Fengying, protect the eldest lady, scimitar, pay attention to the surroundings, I'll go up and take a look!" ”
He possessed the soul of an immortal bird and beast, and he was the strongest flying ability among the three Heavenly Realm powerhouses, and it was the most reasonable choice for him to step forward and check.
Behind Lin Chuan, the beast soul turned into blood-colored wings, bouncing away the falling rocks.
He was like lightning, and he swept over the rock wall.
It's a pity that at this time, the whole rock wall collapsed, kicking up a large cloud of smoke and dust, and he and the white shadow disappeared, only the sound of fierce fighting could be heard, and there were spiritual energy ripples, like stormy waves, stirring layer by layer.
Rumble! Crash!
The entire rock wall collapsed, blocking their path.
Fortunately, Lin Chuan reminded them in time, and they rushed forward desperately, so they narrowly escaped again.
Only one prospector's thigh was crushed to a bloody blur and was a comminuted fracture.
The dust settled, but everyone was in shock.
Lin Chuan flew back from above the rock wall, holding a piece of broken stone in his hand, and handed the remaining runes on the stone to Lu Siya and Zhang Weiyan to see.
"I didn't see the other party's true face clearly, it seems to be Nie Crazy of the Crazy Knife Clan, I was just trying to see it clearly, when I felt an extremely sharp gaze firmly locked my heart, it should be the sharpshooter Li Xin, I didn't dare to be careless, so I could only grab this stone back." He explained.
"On this stone, one of the most commonly used runes by our prospectors."
Zhang Weiyan's face changed at first glance, "It can turn hard granite into gravel, which is specially used to open tunnels or destroy mine walls and create working faces." ”
"So, it's not an accident."
Lin Chuan analyzed with a gloomy expression, "The other party engraved these runes in the most vulnerable place of the structure above the rock wall, and carefully concocted the rune ink, calculated the time we had passed, activated the spiritual energy, and caused the collapse, in a vain attempt to bury us all in it." ”
"Shen Yulong, you mad dog!"
Lu Siya was furious, "From this moment on, we will not stand on each other, and we will not die!" ”
Meng Chao took a step forward, his eyes flashed from Lin Chuan's face, and he hesitated: "Sister Ya, you mean that we are going to take the initiative to attack the prospecting team of Huanyu Group?" ”
"Now it's the Huanyu Group that takes the initiative to attack us, if it weren't for Lin Chuan's reminder, more people would die here!"
Lu Siya's anger did not subside, and she waved her hand, "You don't understand, since Shen Yulong has chosen to kill the killer, he will never allow any of us to leave here alive, otherwise, once his criminal deeds are exposed, he will face the thunderous fury from the Qingtian Group and the Transcendent Tower, and even the entire Huanyu Group will be dragged into the water by him."
So, he was determined to kill them all.
"If we don't fight back, we will only become the deepest part of the dark region, and the corpse will never be found!"
Lu Siya wanted to push Meng Chao away.
Meng Chao stood still and continued: "Now that we have the evidence of Shen Yulong's crime, can we blast away the falling rocks, go back the same way, and go to the Transcendent Tower to accuse him?" I think, since he used such despicable means to viciously compete, even if he really found the main vein of Honghui Jade first, he shouldn't have obtained the right of first refusal, otherwise, wouldn't it be lawless? ”
"Of course it's true, but how can you prove that he did it?"
Lu Siya sneered, "Whether it is commercial espionage or the collapse of the rock wall, we have not found real evidence, yes, now there is a piece of gravel engraved with runes, but this kind of common rune, almost every prospector can engrave it, he refused to admit it, saying that we directed and acted by ourselves, what should we do?" ”
As she spoke, she bypassed Meng Chao, drew out a short sword, and slashed into a rock.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we must not give up the red jade vein, which is not only related to our interests, life and death, but also to our reputation!"
She said viciously, "Everyone has more or less experienced this kind of thing, the so-called success and defeat, in similar incidents, the party who often gets out alive can take the initiative and have the final interpretation of the situation, while the dead can't speak, so they can only let the other party splash dirty water."
"Even if we can escape, but if Shen Yulong discovers the red glow jade vein first, he can be transformed into a great hero and a great hero who calms down the extreme weather and wins the offensive on the northern front! When the time comes, he is a hero, but we are the rats who have fled from the wilderness, who will others believe?
"So, we had no choice but to move on.
"From this moment on, as long as you see the prospecting team members of the Huanyu Group, no matter who they are, they will all be killed.
"The other party has already moved to kill, no matter how merciful we are, we are seeking our own death, and we would rather face the court or even the 'adjudicator' of the Transcendent Tower in the future, and the Qingtian Group will naturally hire the best lawyers in Dragon City to defend us, it is better than lying in the freezer in the morgue and going to tell the forensic doctor about our grievances.
"Oh, I almost forgot, dying in this kind of ghost place, I don't even have the qualifications to see a forensic doctor!"
The words made the breath of the prospectors and hunters heavy.
Greed for red pyrite veins.
Outrage at the vile tricks of competitors.
Fear of death.
Numb from tiredness, crumbling from pain, a mixture of emotions, and constant psychic interference, their faces are as hideous as those of demons, and their teeth and bones make a "clicking" sound.
"I declare that if you can successfully complete the mission, I will increase your honorarium by another 30% on the basis of a series of rewards!"
Lu Siya lost no time in saying, "If you really meet Shen Yulong's gang of dog mongrels, whoever can kill one of the other party will add another 10% honorarium, and kill two, that is, 20%, there is no cap, whoever can kill Shen Yulong, the remuneration will be doubled, and Qingtian Group will definitely support you to the end!" ”
As soon as these words came out, several hunters of the Blade Clan struggled to swallow their saliva, and the light in their eyes became no different from that of a monster that had seen fresh flesh and blood.
"Let's go, before Shen Yulong, find the main vein of Honghui Jade, and build a defensive position there, so that you can be invincible."
Lu Siya drew her short sword from the crevice in the rock, inserted it back into her high boots, and stepped out of her long legs as she walked into the darkness.
Maybe it's not Jitailai.
Perhaps it was anger that strengthened her abilities.
After the rock wall collapsed, it only took them two hours to find a brand new cave with abundant spiritual energy.
This underground space is at least the size of three or five football fields.
The surrounding rock walls were hidden in a dark mist.
Even with the searchlight turned to its maximum power, the light could not penetrate the fog and see the boundaries of the cavern.
The height of the ground is very different, like a huge staircase, and the steps gradually descend one by one, as if reaching the center of the earth in the other world.
The air was extremely humid, and there were colorful mosses growing around, as well as all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and they were not afraid of human sounds and light, and they were locked by searchlights, and they still stood there.
The underground ecosystem here is quite developed, and prospectors estimate that it should be an ancient channel of an underground dark river, after hundreds of millions of years of erosion, it has formed a sloping downward, cliff-like "staircase".
Because the rock formation is broken, the dark river is diverted, and the river water leaks through the cracks in the ground, revealing the damp riverbed.
"Look, the ground is flowing pulp!"
Ground slurry is not a plant or fungus, but a phenomenon unique to the Atlas.
The spores of the spiritualized plant and the luminous microorganisms are mixed together, and under the stimulation of the aura, they condense into a shiny dense fog, which is condensed in the ground and does not disperse for a long time, which is the ground flow slurry.
Depending on the type of spores and luminescent microorganisms, the slurry may be mildly toxic, corrosive, or hallucinogenic to the spit.
Even if it doesn't have toxic side effects, it can seriously interfere with human vision, making it more annoying than fog.
However, after testing that the ground flow slurry here was not too toxic and corrosive, Lu Siya did not hesitate and asked everyone to jump down the "steps" immediately and go deep into the ground flow slurry.
"I can feel that the red glow jade vein is somewhere in the 'steps' a few sections below this 'staircase', and there is a faint very strong spiritual energy fluctuation there."
Lu Siya explained, "Moreover, since Shen Yulong can calculate the time accurately and cause the rock wall to collapse, it means that he has a way to firmly lock on us, and the enemy is dark and I am clear, maybe he is still spying on us now."
"Don't forget, Li Xin, the lone gunman next to him, is a four-star transcendent and has the ability to shoot headshots with one shot.
"Of our three Heavenly Realm powerhouses, none of them can afford to lose, and whoever is sniped by Li Xin will put us in an extremely unfavorable situation.
"It's better to go deep into the slurry, use the mist of spores and luminescent microorganisms to hide our whereabouts, nullify Shen Yulong's two major advantages, and then engage him in close combat.
"It's better than being a live target here, and at some point, you'll be shot in the head by a sharpshooter!"
As soon as she said this, everyone felt that their eyebrows were cold, as if in the dark corner, there was really a sharpshooter dormant with a hundred shots, and the bullet would kiss their brains at any time.
They scrambled to jump from a cliff more than ten meters high to the next level of "steps".
Meng Chao stared at Lin Chuan's back and jumped down.
jumped off three layers of cliffs in a row, and the lower he went, the richer the ground slurry became, and soon he reached the point where he couldn't see his fingers.
"Ahh
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, and was dragged back by his companion.
It turned out that the difference between the height of the "steps" below and the place where they stood reached 100 meters, and it was an out-and-out underground cliff.
