Chapter Forty-Six: Secretly Crossing Chen Cang
The enemy had been informed during the last temptation, so wasn't that the case with Hogu?
In order to be able to resist the tearing force of the tornado, or the giant net of intertwined rhizomes is added to the epidermal interlayer of the cube, and a small net made of carbon nanofibers is added to the small square grid in the gap of the giant net, and a large number of connexins are produced by the transcription gene chain to increase the adhesion between the epidermis and the scale and the bone.
As a result, there is a scene like this - in the face of a violent cyclone, the octahedron is like a breeze, as stable as Mount Tai.
The attack of the tornado column continued for some time, and after realizing that this attack was just a futile effort, the wind speed gradually weakened and disappeared into the air as if it had never appeared.
"Gave up?"
“…… Or do you want to bring me something new like last time? ”
As if in response to Hogu's taunt, the earth trembled violently, and seismic waves continued to spread from the ground to the surface.
Because of this crustal movement, the underground cavities collapsed one after another, the sea water flowed downward, countless whirlpools appeared on the sea surface, and the lava from the ground came into contact with the boiling liquid water.
The octahedron standing on the surface of the earth is naturally affected, and the huge body shakes in the tremor, but due to its huge mass, this shaking is not violent, and the biggest impact on the octahedron is probably a few centimeters away from the slight sagging.
However, this tremor was only a prelude, as a large amount of lava seeped out of the cracks in the ground, enveloping the lower half of the cube.
"What, it scared me, it turned out to be just magma...... It was so much that I thought something else was going to run out of the ground. ”
When the octahedron was still in the strata, it had close contact with lava more than once, and these 'fire dragons', which had been invincible since the beginning of the Plutozoic period, finally became the meal of the octahedron.
However, there is one thing that Huogu still needs to pay attention to, and that is that the rhizome connection that transports organic materials has been cut off by a large amount of lava gushing out.
In order to prevent damage from lightning and tornado columns, and to prevent the octahedron from toppling over, Hogu buried half of the octahedron in the ground, and then transported material from the ground to the octahedron, allowing it to continue to expand rapidly.
However, now that this connection has been severed by the lava from the bottom up, and a large amount of organic material has been lost as a base, the expansion rate of the octahedron has slowed down.
The larger the size of the life body, the greater the energy of life activities that need to be maintained, such as the octahedron of a giant life form, the use of chemical energy, the mass of matter consumed at any moment, that is an astronomical amount, if it is not for Huo Gu to accumulate nearly the entire giant underground cavity of organic materials as a backing, simply relying on the octahedron to grow completely independent and independent, at most to grow to a body that will enter ten kilometers, the growth amount will be the same as its own consumption, and it is impossible to continue to expand the body.
"We need to restore the supply of materials as soon as possible......"
Hogu muttered and stared at the octahedron, and as soon as his mind moved, a new instruction from the rhizome system was issued - to restore the supply of the octahedron as soon as possible.
Backed by a large amount of organic material, the rhizome recovers very quickly, and it doesn't take long for it to re-establish its docking with the octahedron.
However, not long after that, the lava in the ground gushed out, so that the newly established material connection was burned again.
Hogu tried a few more times, and the lava always gushed out not long after the rhizome system and the octahedron were connected, blocking the connection.
Is it accidental?
In the blink of an eye, Huo Gu immediately overturned this idea and stared coldly at the sky.
"No, it's a given, no one that chance the repeatability reaches such a high level."
In order to confirm his idea, some of the rhizomes hidden in the strata emerged from the bottom of the sea, trying to establish a connection with the upper part of the octahedron.
This time, the rhizome had only reached the vicinity of the octahedron, and before it even made contact, it was crushed by a small and powerful whirlwind that suddenly appeared.
"Sure enough, it was discovered......
"It looks like we're almost at the end of the day, and we can proceed to the second step of the plan."
Hogu gave an order, and a large number of rhizomes of the rhizome system marched towards the octahedron, and there was a great deal to restore the connection with the octahedron at all costs.
Not to be outdone, the enemy splattered lava from the cracks in the ground, blocking the lower half of the octahedron, while the wind thunder blocked the upper half, and Hogu noticed the fact that the octahedron was slowly sinking.
Huo Gu guessed that the other party should be planning to forcibly pull the octahedron into the upper mantle, and use the lava sea to continuously burn and completely destroy the octahedron.
Finding this, Huo Gu's mood became happy and solemn, it was obvious that the enemy's control of the planetary strata was beyond its expectations, fortunately because it could be guarded, so as not to be unprepared and fall on important things, solemn because it realized that the enemy probably still had a large degree of strength to use, far from being as simple as it saw now.
Vaguely, Hogu seemed to feel that he had missed something, but now that it was a race against time, it didn't have that much time to think about what it had missed.
The launch must be completed before the enemy can draw attention from the octahedron 'opponent', and the opportunity is fleeting!
At a distance of almost 10,000 kilometers from the octahedron, it exists in the strata, and the rhizome, which has been in suspended animation, is activated.
The rhizome breaks through the earth's crust with minimal movement and grows to the surface of the sea, quickly and quietly building a pipe from the ground to the sea.
"Launch!"
Boom!
There was a muffled sound in the formation within hundreds of miles, and there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the shells that had been prepared for a long time entered a state of high-speed travel under the violent explosion, and rotated at high speed along the lines on the inner wall of the titanium alloy of the pipeline, with a speed of an astonishing 8km/s.
Boom!
It was the sound of a secondary detonation, the object becoming faster, a shrill humming sound coming from the pipe, and a large amount of gas, which was the air that had been squeezed out by the shells at high speed.
Boom!
The third detonation, this time the speed reached the extreme, a line of fire cut through the sky, from a distance, like a meteor slowly rising from the bottom up, the sound of rubbing against the air, even if it was a few kilometers away, it could be heard clearly.
"Victory or defeat is here."
Huo Gu watched the line of fire that gradually disappeared, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
