"Firefly, you're finally back." There was a hint of wildness in the woman's appearance, and she could vaguely see the shadow of the fireflies, and said in a calm tone, "Is this the object of your marriage hunt?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Firefly's eyes, she looked at Shen Feng, and hurriedly explained to her mother:

"No, Shen Feng is just my friend, I'...... I didn't go on a wedding hunt. ”

"Friends?" The woman's voice was cold, "It can be a sacrifice to a male god." ”

As he spoke, he walked to Shen Feng's side, stretched out his slender fingers, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face:

"It's ...... Flawless provenance!? ”

Her hands are like a nimble fish.

The surrounding night maidens also gathered around.

No mutations were found!

The man in front of him is definitely a precious flawless source!

"Mother! Shen Feng is my friend, I don't allow you to do this! Firefly shouted, struggling to break free from the rope, but the rope grew tighter and tighter.

The main ingredient of this rope is the web of an underground spider, which is extremely tough and difficult to break free.

"It's okay." Shen Feng motioned to Firefly to her eyes, telling her not to be nervous, and at the same time relaxing her body and not resisting.

He wasn't in a hurry to go to war with the Night Maidens, what really attracted him was this huge underground space!

This place is supposed to be close to the bottom of Iron Country, and it looks more like a giant underground warehouse than the platforms and the like above.

The size of a football field, the space is supported by stout concrete pillars that support the space along with the bricks of the dome above.

There is no need for any lights at all, not even much fluorescent moss.

Thousands of night maidens gather here, and they emit a soft fluorescence, like a walking night light.

Their elongated forms glided through the darkness, like legendary succubi or elves.

There are no men here, and it seems to be a distinctly matriarchal clan commune state.

As for the remaining baby boys, it is estimated that they were all banished outside the Night Girl tribe, and other tribes were gradually formed.

They held all sorts of metal tools in their hands, wrenches, pliers, tapers, etc., as if they had been armed somewhere in this lost country.

Because there are various underground metal facilities and railroad tracks, there is no shortage of metal in the Land of Iron, but this standard of metal tools still surprised Shen Feng a little.

The night maidens tied Shen Feng tightly with ropes between two huge stone pillars, and pulled their arms up like a victim.

These ropes were made of iron wire, spider silk, and tough plant rhizomes, which were so strong that it was difficult for Shen Feng to even move in his non-combat form.

"Redstone, let him go! Shen Feng has a mission on his shoulders to save the world! Firefly said loudly.

Firefly's mother, Redstone, looked at her daughter expressionlessly and said:

"Why, you value a lowly and useless man so much? Even if it is a flawless seed source, it is just a bag of seeds...... As for what saves the world...... Absurd! The male god is here, and the world will naturally be saved. ”

Firefly hurriedly said:

"It's not the world of the Iron Country, it's the Iron Country plus the outside world, the whole world! There will be no more birthdays, no new cursed places, and everyone will be able to live peacefully on the ground! ”

Hearing Firefly's words, the surrounding night girls looked at each other, and then burst into laughter, the laughter like crystals colliding with each other, and it was heard far away in the underground space.

"No new Cursed Lands? Can the outside world live in peace? ”

"Joke! The poor creatures who live on the filthy ground don't know how much they want to live in the Iron Nation and escape the curse that pervades it. ”

"There is no real Taoyuan Township at all, the land of iron is Taoyuan Township!"

"The birthday is given by the gods, can this man still shake the gods?"

At this moment, the shield machine, which had been silently parked aside, suddenly started and rumbled forward, coming to a smooth and flat platform.

The platform is made entirely of metal, with a huge metal shelf on top of which the EPB stops as if a tired person was resting on a bed.

The surrounding night girls showed a look of sincere fear at this time.

Redstone shouted:

"The god is resting, and when it's time to sacrifice, he needs our service! Fast! ”

The night maidens immediately swarmed away and came to the side of the shield machine.

Shen Feng was then shocked to find that these night girls had actually started to beat and repair the shield machine with the tools in their hands!

The tools in their hands hammer out a primitive piece of music on the TBM with different rhythms.

They were very skillful and quickly removed some of the broken parts from the TBM and replaced them with new ones.

Surrounded by more Night Maidens, prostrate in the dark, swaying their waists and glowing softly, illuminating the TBMs while dancing wildly.

Pieces of metal gears are pushed out of the shadows, replacing the various components of the shield machine.

Even the head of the knife on the knife head was removed, and it was carried by several night maidens with reverent faces, and dragged aside.

At this time, the night maidens seem to have become a group of mechanics, but they are also like a group of priests from ancient times.

Judging from their mechanical techniques, their various fixed beatings, and even meaningless dance worship, this is more like a religious ritual than a repair of machinery.

This scene made Shen Feng watch it with relish.

Apparently, these Night Maidens had been passed down from the Shield Machine Mechanics, or they might have been descendants of the same group of mechanics they once had.

It's just that after hundreds of years and more than ten generations, they have long forgotten the true meaning of mechanical repair, but have completely evolved into a fixed behavior pattern.

Even some of the noises that collide during the repair process, as well as some actions that may be inadvertent, are considered to be part of the behavior pattern, or part of the effective program.

It's like a secret dye recipe in ancient times, which includes prayer rituals, burning incense and worshipping Buddha, stirring dye 300 times, and even all kinds of witchcraft.

The ancients did not know which step of the process of this unique dye was obtained, so they kept everything until modern times, and it was not until modern times that it was discovered that the iron filings that fell from the iron tank when the dye was stirred were oxidized.

Another example is that the most criticized thing in Chinese medicine is that it is impossible to determine the active ingredients in it.

Over the years, the EPB has been maintained in this way, allowing it to travel through the Iron Nation and break new ground.

Soon, the damaged parts were sent to a metal platform next to it.

A group of night maidens danced, and the metal platform immediately lit up, collecting the damaged metal parts into an entrance.

Immediately after, several robotic arms were raised, and shiny wires were pulled out and began to quickly wrap and solidify to form a new component.

Shen Feng's eyes couldn't help but widen, this is a metal 3D printer!

This is also part of the EPB maintenance system!

The replacement of the parts of the shield machine was complete, and the night maidens stroked and touched the cylindrical body of the shield machine, causing it to start again and roar.

Redstone then reverently holds up something resembling a scepter in both hands, which appears to be a sensor of the TBM.

She held the scepter in front of her, and the shield machine followed the sensor at this time, roaring towards Shen Feng.

The last step of the sacrifice of the male god is the sacrifice of the living.

Human martyrdom.
