00147 Ancient Behemoth
"Coming to the deployment site, be ready." The hoist sound in the cabin sounds.
Everyone got up and stood still on either side of the cabin.
Lin Sen was Chen Guang on his left, Dongfang Ruo was standing on his right, Ereda Twins were standing behind Lin Sen, Lily looked at Lin Sen with some surprise, and then Lin Sen, who was the back, did not notice her gaze.
"Don't get distracted." Anya reminded her sister that now is not the time for children to be in love.
Vivien determined the altitude, and then shouted to the crowd as the hatch opened, "Jump! ”
After the order was given, the personnel in the two Nightingales began to be deployed.
No one expected that Dongfang Ruo, who did not rely on mechanical equipment at all, was the first to complete the deployment.
After landing on the ground, everyone couldn't help but sigh when they saw this dusty fairy standing quietly under the night sky.
Some are praised, some are surprised, and some are ...... Is it jealous......
After landing, Viklore opened the matrix vision, confirmed the safety of the surrounding environment, and quickly launched a terrain scan to share information with everyone. At present, the location of the team is in the abandoned mining area 120 kilometers southwest of the Dusk City, where the vegetation is sparse, and the black rocks are exposed as far as the eye can see, these natural rocks are rich in a variety of metal elements, the most of which is the ancestral Yi Yuanzi embryo, before the Yi Yuanzi embryo was not widely used, the Yanyan ore has been treated as an inferior ore for extracting other metal elements, but now this kind of thing is gradually becoming a valuable asset comparable to Xingyao Stone and is being mined in large quantities.
The reason why there are still so many Yan Yan exposed here and no one cares about it is that the technology of the Dusk Sun City-State has not yet reached the level of extracting and stably solidifying Yi Yuanzi embryos, and the other is that there is a group of extremely terrifying and powerful ancient beasts here.
This powerful creature is another ancient civilization race on Gaia other than Kui, although their civilization evolution is extremely slow, and in the billions of years of evolution, they have only just reached the level of totemic civilization in the early stage of the birth of human civilization, but their physical evolution has far exceeded human imagination.
With its strong limbs and large body, the ancient behemoth has six pairs of eyes, three of which have extremely high normal vision, while the other three pairs of eyes can see the amplitude of the band invisible to human vision, which is the key to their search for mineral deposits, and their huge parrot-like heads are covered with a layer of thyroid that is as hard as strong mutual titanium steel, and their necks have a ring of wings that can open to produce ultra-high frequency infrasonic waves. The Argu Behemoths, whose front legs are longer than their hind legs, excel at short sprints, and they also have a pitch-black layer of armor on their bodies, which is not as hard as their heads, but is strong enough to withstand ordinary energy weapons.
The ancient giant beasts that live on all kinds of ores are extremely powerful and dangerous existences, their adult females are about eight meters tall on average, about twelve meters long, and weigh dozens of tons, although the male individuals are much smaller in comparison, but they generally have a height of more than three meters and a body length of about five meters, and their weight can reach around ten tons.
In matrilineal societies, a group of a dozen males is usually led by a female, and when the other females in the group reach a certain age, they will lead some males to leave the group and rebuild a new group.
The lifespan of the ancient behemoths can be up to seven hundred years, but their reproductive ability is extremely limited, and they need to reach about a hundred years old to have full reproductive ability, which makes this powerful species have a certain binding balance on the path of evolution.
Fortunately, otherwise, the ancient beasts that mutated due to alienation and infection after the end of the world would become one of the most troublesome enemies for mankind.
Despite the limited number of the Augu Behemoths and the fact that their ability to reproduce has been further reduced after being alienated, their habits have caused them to be trapped in the depths of many rich mineral deposits, which has also caused a lot of trouble for humans.
Today, Lin Sen's team is facing an elderly female ancient giant beast, this alienated ancient giant beast has predicted her own death, so she left the clan early and is waiting for death in the depths of the underground in the target area. Jin Ying'er's team has already determined its location, and now it will be up to Lin Sen to kill the target.
"The target is in a cave fifty-five meters underground, and the route has been marked and shared." Viklor's matrix vision was the final calibration at the mine.
"Alright, let's go!" Jin Kun gave instructions, and everyone immediately began to act.
If Dongfang didn't have these equipment, she silently followed behind Lin Sen.
The marked route was a manually excavated mine, but the excavation was only halfway completed before it was stopped, and the excavated equipment had been discarded for too long and had been completely rusted and destroyed, and everyone had to move forward while cleaning up the abandoned equipment.
On the way, it seems to be affected by K-class xenomorphs, everyone did not encounter other xenomorphs, and the whole journey was smooth, the only strange thing was that the humidity inside the mine was extremely high, and as the distance increased, the micromolecules in the air began to be corrosive.
At first, the corrosiveness was only for metals, but later on, it was analyzed as a toxin that is harmful to the human body.
Vivien suggested that Dongfang Ruo stay, and then Dongfang Ruo just smiled slightly, didn't care about this image at all, and continued to follow the team. Vivien was a little unhappy after being kindly treated coldly, but she didn't worry much about seeing her indifferent appearance.
By the time the team reached 300 meters close to the target, they could clearly hear the behemoth's gasping sound, and there was some fluorescent liquid floating under its feet, which seemed to be very viscous from its slow flow speed.
"What is this?" Viknelas crouched down and tentatively twisted his hands a little.
"Be careful!" Jin Kun was very unsupportive of such a rash move.
"It's fine, just some liquefied rock." The results of Viklor's analysis are in.
"Liquefied rock? Isn't that right, this thing is only 11°C? But the melting point of the rock is 3,700 °C! Anya didn't believe it, she also twisted some of it, and the fluorescent liquid on her fingertips emitted a fishy smell, which made Anya even more strange.
"Tsk, this ...... Doesn't smell like liquid metal, but more like blood? Anya sniffed again.
When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their vigilance.
Dongfang Ruoye, who was originally standing at the back of the line, took a few steps forward after hearing this, and after staring at the darkness in front of her for a while, she said softly: "Our prey is dead, and I can feel her soul withering." ”
It would be embarrassing to say this strange statement from someone else's mouth, but if it comes from the mouth of Dongfang, which is already different, it is very credible.
Viklore also stepped forward, he opened the restraint of the matrix vision, and then confirmed Dongfang Ruo's words, and told everyone the bad news.
"The target is indeed dead."
"Huh? Aren't our efforts in vain? Vivien scoffed, disarming her combat readiness.
However, Viklor also issued a warning to everyone: "However, three other female augu behemoths have been confirmed around the target, and the evolution level is confirmed to be K-level. ”
Now everyone was dumbfounded.
Three K-Ranks?!
Jin Kun was shocked when he heard this, and then immediately stabilized everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, they haven't discovered us for the time being, we can withdraw first." ”
This was the best choice, but when everyone was about to leave, Dongfang Ruo's sword was already out of its sheath, and at the same time she said, "It's late!" Get ready for battle! ”
As the words fell, the sword light slashed through the darkness, and in the mine after the darkness had dispersed, a group of male ancient beastmen who had been dormant for a long time stood up and rushed towards everyone with a roar.
