Why did you meet two Buggers in the outer ring one after another? This is their home...... If you can't find an exit, you will only be dead. ”

Ah Jin, who is responsible for perceiving and planning the route, cannot accept the reality in front of him.

Due to Shogues's desperate pursuit, they could only flee to the depths of Roshan...... The depth of the current arrival has long exceeded the scope of the expedition.

During the escape, Ah Jin, the leader, also felt a sense of disobedience.

Whenever there is a fork in the road, it is possible that the fork in the road to the outside of Roshan will either be blocked or another Shogues will be lurking inside.

The choice left to everyone is to flee to the depths of Roshan.

After passing through eleven forks in the road, the original grotto passage was transformed into a staircase leading to the lower end.

And the hiss of Shoguers is getting closer.

Forced to descend a full kilometer down the stairs that led to nowhere...... As they exited the staircase, they were greeted by a much larger space, a "spherical space" that resembled the core of a planet, to be exact.

"This is a relic city in Roshan!!"

With a geometric theme, the materials are between metal and mineral, and are regularly distributed in any area of the spherical space, even pasted on the walls on both sides or hung upside down on the top floor.

The surface of each building is inlaid with dull crystals.

Han Dong felt the trace amount of energy remaining in these crystals...... It seems that in ancient times, these crystals embedded in the surface of the building were able to supply all the energy inside the building, and even gave a permanent anti-gravity effect.

Circumstances change with the passage of time.

All that remains are the ruins of ruins, and a few artifacts hidden among the ruins.

While the expedition team seemed panicked, Han Dong was carefully observing the town here.

"Judging from the characteristics of the building, this should belong to the [residential area]...... And the stone bridge in front of us should be able to lead to deeper places, more important places."

The exit of the staircase corresponds to a stone bridge that crosses the center of the "spherical space".

When the aura of strange living creatures appeared here, some of the creatures in the ruins also immediately sensed it, revealing their murderous faces one after another.

You can only continue to run along the stone bridge.

The end of the stone bridge.

A black gate of more than ten meters blocked everyone's way.

Relying on the ability of the mature body-alien demon (compared to the earl he encountered at the beginning), it is still possible to break through the stone gate of more than ten meters.

But.

Gaunt. Deep Rock condensed a five-fold-sized magnet fist on the surface of its right arm through "tentacle isomerization" and smashed it into the stone door in front of him...... Rumble!

A ripple of energy rippled across the surface of the stone door.

"Rebound"

The 100% force impact was applied to Gaunt himself, knocking him more than ten meters away, and almost falling off the stone bridge.

"Seal...... Thousands of years have passed, and any seal will lapse without management.

Moreover, this stone door was obviously made by the ancients, and only they can maintain it.

Isn't that right? And the ancients live here?! ”

When Ah Jin thought of this.

A strong sense of oppression swept through the body, accompanied by a strong and pungent stench.

A full four Shogues were already in pursuit.

The dissolving and reconstructed eyeballs stared at the group of intruders...... However, most of the eyeballs fell on Eukins, who seemed to be waiting for instructions.

"Fight!"

These Antarctic hunters were already doing very dangerous work, and they were prepared for death.

But.

Whether it is the quality of the variety, or the difference in strength, it is here.

Moreover, this group of chasing Shogos also had an "atavistic body" with a body size of more than 100 meters...... The foul smell emanating from it alone can affect the mental state of the expedition team.

"Evil Vanse-Shogues"

A perfect creation that the ancients should be proud of, a mixture of many otherworldly ones...... Their colloidal skin is effective against any type of magic, and their high toughness can absorb the impact of positive force.

For a moment, the picture here turned a tragic grayish-white.

The death of the expedition became incredibly simple.

Even though they are mature organisms, they are already able to make use of various abilities, isomerize tentacles, and regenerate various types of ultra-rapid ...... But these properties only prolong the death time by a few seconds.

When only the last three of the seven team members remained...... Shogoth's attack suddenly stopped, and even the largest atavistic body immediately retracted its movements.

Gaunt, who wields the magnet, Ah Jin, a perceiver with an exposed brain, and a woman with an elongated, centipede-like spine barely survives.

"What's going on?"

Just when the three of them were puzzled, an evil voice came from behind them:

"Congratulations, you've been chosen!"

When Gaunt turned his head, he realized that the group of Deep Sea Emissaries who had been 'escorted' to Roshan to find medical equipment had not been attacked by Shogues at all.

And the person who speaks is the so-called 'seriously injured'.

Then.

Eugens removed his hood and exposed himself to the crowd in a green-haired humanoid pose resembling a homeless man.

At the same time.

Several Shogues, who were not far away, immediately put their tentacles in front of them, showing a strange kneeling posture, and at the same time, there were blasphemous sounds from their bodies to express their excitement when they saw the 'idol'.

At the same time, the three Gaunts also began to cough violently.

cough cough cough ...... Small eyeballs coughed out of their mouths.

"You ...... What exactly is it? ”

"Fifth Primordial - Eukins. Trevello, welcome to Roshan.

The resilient souls that exist within you will be offered to the Creator here as an opening offering. ”

"You ...... Ahem, ahem! ”

At the same time as the answer was given, an extremely violent and uncontrollable cough swept in.

The flesh crumbled and disintegrated in such a cough, turning into an eyeball.

The soul was wrapped in a green energy and sucked into the stone gate in front of it...... Thundered! The stone door leading to the final ruins opens, and the remnants of the ancient people who live inside record the pinnacle technology of ancient times.

……

Han Dong just watched the process silently, and asked in a low voice when the stone gate opened:

"Why? This group of explorers also provides us with a lot of convenience...... If you need an offering, you can find it somewhere else, right? ”

Eukins' pupils shone with green light, and he smiled to answer Han Dong's question:

"Why?

Didn't you notice that we didn't have to do anything along the way?

We just had to stay in the cabin and sit in the transporter to see the scenery, and finally we reached our destination after a few steps in the cave...... It was a pleasant ride to see the scenery of the dying struggle.

Meantime.

If we come here in this way, we can also be counted as passing the "Antarctic Assessment" set by the ancients - [Physically go to the deepest part and offer three sacrifices]

I don't have to bother to explain the relevant questions to you along the way, this group of people has worked hard for generations...... Isn't it good? ”

"These are also mature entities-alien demons, which can be counted as world combat power...... That's not the right way you're dealing with it, is it? ”

"It's just their fate.

When they met us, they were doomed to death...... Moreover, they can be a small stepping stone for you and me, and their lives are worth far more than before.

They should feel lucky, even grateful for the death I granted.

Don't look at all this with your human values, just follow the customs. ”
