The steamed bun is still the same steamed bun, but the bun is no longer the bun.

.................................................... The dividing line of the steamed bun deception............................

Pass five levels and kill six generals, pass through the sea of fire, roll over icebergs, fight soy sauce, and fight over eggs. After so many hardships, the joint exploration team finally arrived at the fifth floor of the relic space.

It's just that the scene of the fifth-layer space directly fanned the few pieces of joy that everyone had left. Even Yu Qi and the others, who had been here once, did not look good, because there were some changes here compared to the last time they came, and it was not a happy change.

I heard Yu Qi always call the first to fourth floors residential areas, but in fact, along the way, these so-called residential areas do not look very suitable for habitation, which makes people doubt the accuracy of this statement and the real purpose of these four floors.

And now after seeing the interior space of the fifth floor, everyone understands. Compared to the fifth floor, the first four floors, no matter how peculiar, can only be counted as residential areas. There are houses, roads, gardens, and rivers, except for the different attributes and characteristics of each floor, it does look like a unique community. Because after seeing the interior space of the fifth floor, the comrades just wanted to ask: what the hell is going on?!!

The first four floors are mainly buildings in any case, and there are living conditions. And on the fifth floor, as far as the eye can see, huge elliptical rows of objects hang down between the dome and the ground, with countless holes, like a huge hornet's nest. It's not sure if it's really all wasps, but it's a nest for sure, because you can see something crawling around on it from afar.

The silver river flowed in the sky and on the ground, bypassing each worm-nest-like building, forming a three-dimensional silver net that enveloped the entire five-story interior space.

And the nests are not exactly the same, the small ones are tens of meters in diameter, and the large ones are hundreds of meters. In addition, the colors are also different, black, reddish-brown, silver-white, golden, etc. Among them, black and reddish-brown nests account for eighty percent, silver ones account for more than one and a half percent, and only a few golden nests are dotted in between. The only thing they have in common is that they have holes all over their bodies.

"Is there any mistake, isn't this relic buried for N years? How can there still be living creatures? Li Gang, who thought he was immune to the endless weirdness of the ruins, also felt a little unable to keep up.

Well, all sorts of quirky "plants" have been seen before, and their presence is barely acceptable. Because what crystal plants, ice crystal plants, and flame plants, whether these can be considered plants is still two words, and it is understandable that they have existed for a long time. Green plants can also be understood as their seeds are preserved, and they germinate again due to the right conditions, after all, there are thousands of years of ancient lotus seed germination events, and the seeds in the ruins may be preserved for a longer time.

And these animals can't understand it. Could it be that it is also an egg left in the past, and now it has broken out of the shell? It's true that the egg should have been fossilized after such a long time, and even if it was really an ancient relic, it shouldn't have come out so much at once. There must be a huge gap between the earth's environment and that time for so many years, don't you come to some water and soil adaptation or something?

"Don't be surprised, this is the fifth floor of the ruins, but... There are just a few more bugs than there used to be. Yu Qi looked up at the darkened dome and said embarrassedly, "We must find a hotel to spend the night before it gets completely dark, otherwise this is the last day of our ruins journey, and at the same time the last day of our life." ”

The inn that Yu Qi is talking about is actually an obelisk that rises between countless insect nests. These obelisks are quadrangular in shape, as wide as the top and bottom, but are topped by pyramid-like spires. All the obelisks are the same, the whole body is dark as a whole, three hundred meters high, ten meters long and wide, there are only four walls in the tower, and a square stone pillar stretches out from the wall to form a spiral ladder to the top of the tower, and nothing else, it is simply cut out of a mold.

The spiral staircase leads to a room at the top of the tower, which is actually the space inside the spire, and there is nothing but the four walls and the four one-man high lookouts on the wall, and the inverted pyramid-shaped roof.

After entering the top of the tower, Yu Qi asked people to block the four lookouts with things, and then turned on the lights and explained the situation to everyone.

"I believe you have seen it, how to talk about the situation here, compared with the first four floors... Full of life. Yes, it's vibrant. This is not good news though, because the guys who make this place alive are very dangerous. They are not the same in form, but they have a common name, amoeba. ”

"You must not be referring to the amoeba that can only be seen with a microscope." Li Gang said with a smile.

Yu Qi glared at Li Gang, who was talkative, and said angrily: "If it is, it's okay." I'm talking to you about alien insects that range in size from one meter to two meters and are made of metal all over their bodies and can be shaped. They usually huddle into a ball and stick to the outer wall of the hive, and a few will crawl around the oval hive like a four-legged reptile or go to the ground to hunt for plants, let's just call those that eat people plants. It's very dangerous to confront them, these big metal bugs are infinitely powerful, extremely fast, and have sharp teeth and claws... Oh, these are secondary, and the most important thing is that their defense is surprisingly high, and the copper-headed iron arm is no longer enough to describe. And it is said that they will turn into human form in extremely dangerous situations, and after transformation, their attack power and speed will decrease, but their defense will be higher. To put it simply, you can't die! Or rather, it's extremely difficult to kill them. Because if you don't kill it in a short time, it will keep pestering you and gather your nearby kind, and the overwhelming sea of insects can drown people in an instant! ”

Listening to Yu Qi's words, Li Gang subconsciously touched the tofu flower, and secretly said how could he feel that Yu Qi's introduction was a bit similar to this product, wouldn't it be a close relative? In other words, when will this thing wake up, and I brought you here to be a thug, not a master. It's good now, not only do you have to hold it without help, but this soy sauce is thorough enough.

"These bugs perceive and communicate through psychic powers, so psychic ability evolutionaries can interfere with the call signals they emit, and even disrupt their hearing and hearing through psychic powers.

With this, some evolutionaries have designed to catch or kill these bugs. No matter how difficult the bug is to kill, it can't stand the crowd. Their bodies are very good materials, both for weapons and armor, and they can be sold for a pretty good price. It's just that there is a big risk in this, because the mental power fluctuations emitted may also attract more insects, so everyone will try to restrain their mental power during the journey tomorrow, and there is no need not to release spiritual power skills at will, even if it is spiritual detection! ”

Yu Qi walked to the lookout and opened the shield to look out, and the sky was already dark.

"There are a lot of obelisks in the inner space of the fifth floor, their original purpose is unknown, but these towers can be very well isolated from spiritual power, and for unknown reasons, insects generally do not take the initiative to approach, so the obelisk can provide a safe rest environment for explorers. Because of this uniform style, combined with the one-night stay-and-go feature, these towers are also nicknamed inns. It's just that this hotel has nothing but walls, and it's more than a little shabby. Another reminder is that there are patterns on these walls and floors, which is no secret for a long time, and if you are interested, you may wish to study it, and maybe you will find something. So far, no one has figured out what these patterns are for, maybe it's just a decoration, hehe. In any case, it is also the feature of this hotel. ”

If you look closely, you will notice that the walls of the obelisk are densely covered with small strange patterns carved into it, which are not noticeable against the black background. It's just that if you stay in this place for one night, I believe that you don't have to be blind to send them. Nearly every explorer who has been in the obelisk has studied the pattern during the long and boring nights, but none of them have come up with one, two, three, four, five. So most people think of them as decorative patterns when their research is fruitless, after all, this kind of thing is also common in ruins, and most of them are not so dense, which may involve religious beliefs and the like. There are also those who do not give up, believing that the obelisk can isolate spiritual power as the reason for these patterns, but there is no evidence and it is just speculation. Yu Qi told everyone that he just wanted the first-time people to have something to do, so that they wouldn't be too bored before resting. He had done this research the last time he came, and it turned out to be a waste of brain cells and help make people sleepy.

"Bug activity drops at night, but there's something more dangerous outside, so be quiet. Even if they can't get in, if they stay outside, they can trap us to death. ”

After Yu Qi finished speaking, everyone in the joint exploration team took out food to solve the dinner.

While eating, Li Gang groped for the patterns on the wall and found that the style of these patterns was very similar to that on the claws of the metal monster. It's just that the style is similar, but the texture is completely different. From this point of view, the texture on the building does have some kind of function, and only the ghost knows what function.

When it gets dark, the interior becomes quiet, and the crawling sounds of insects that are heard from time to time during the day disappear.

In the air, an inverted triangle of plump objects slowly flew past the obelisk, its metallic body with glowing strips, at first glance it looked like a flying metal zongzi.

Because of his plump size, the explorers named him "The Fat Man", and no one expected him to report himself.

The interior of each level of the ruins will have something similar to a patrol flying in the sky at night, these things are characterized by their attack power, almost indestructible, and only appear at night to attack anyone who stays outside the building.

It is known that the first layer is patrolling, the second layer is flying flame, the third layer is snow clouds, the fourth layer is rolling stones, the fifth layer is fat, the sixth layer is a Rubik's Cube, the seventh layer is an angel, and the eighth layer is a flare. One is harder to deal with. It is they that make the night of the ruins a no-go zone for the living.

As the night reaper of the inner space of the fifth floor of the ruins, of course, there is more than one fat man, and they are wandering alone among the hives like balloons. Occasionally, they will stop in front of the hive, the stripes in front of them open like a bandage, roll up and stick to a bug that has shrunk up on the outer wall of the hive and put it on their body, then the bandage will retract and fly away to continue shaking.

No one knows why these fat people stuff bugs into their bodies, maybe they're just eating dinner. If you're not afraid that it will whip you with a strap, you can go up and ask.

It was a quiet night overall, with little sign of activity in the dimly lit space of the ruins, except for the fat man slowly cruising through the hive, except for a small disc.

It is a disc the size of a teacup lid, and it flies fast against the ground thanks to a circle of rapidly rotating rotors around the edge, and the camouflage color of the disc's surface is close to the ground, making it difficult to detect.

The disc flew quietly for dozens of minutes before slowly landing under an obelisk, and after landing, its surface split into four petals, and an inconspicuous black bead ejected before flying away again.

This obelisk is exactly where Li Gang and the others stayed, and even if someone kept vigil, they didn't notice this small disc that came and left quietly.

In the morning, everyone in the joint exploration team finished breakfast early and prepared to go on the road, only waiting for the day to be completely bright before leaving.

On the hive near the obelisk, the clumped amoeba ended its nighttime dormancy at dawn, stretching out its sharp metal limbs and moving around the hive.

Facing the direction of the obelisk where the joint exploration team was located, an amoeba had just regained its ability to move when it noticed something, it raised its body on the almost vertical wall of the hive and sensed it, and then the insect's legs bent and bounced up, drawing a parabola in the air and falling directly from a height of 100 meters.

"Click!"

The amoeba landed on all fours, its sharp feet piercing four shallow scratches on the hard ground, and when it landed, it scurried towards the obelisk where the joint exploration team was located, like a motorcycle equipped with a high-speed motor. And this was just the beginning, and then more amoebas of different shapes jumped or took off from their respective hives, all targeting the obelisk where the joint exploration team was located.

As soon as they stepped out of the gate of the obelisk, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw the mighty swarm approaching not far away.

Li Gang glanced at Yu Qi and teased: "Ya is a butterfly, what is the situation?" I don't remember the parade for the farewell. ”

“… I... I don't remember either. Seeing the amoeba in his eyes, Yu Qi was still in the mood to talk to Li Gang, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to return to the tower.

As soon as the exploration team returned to the tower, the obelisk was surrounded by insects, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Thankfully, the amoeba seemed to be afraid of the obelisk, and circled it around without rushing through the gate that was not blocked at all.

Yu Qi looked down from the lookout in the room at the top of the tower, suddenly felt a pain in his brain, and asked everyone, "Has anyone used mental power skills?" ”

No one answered.

Well, whatever it is, now there's trouble. The weakest black worms and reddish-brown worms of these amoebas are stronger than ordinary high-level evolutionaries, the silver worms are comparable to the average strength of the executors, and the strength of the golden worms is no longer something that three or five executors can compete with. The only good thing is that amoeba are mainly black and reddish-brown insects, silver insects are rarer, and golden insects are even less. At least not a single golden bug in the swarm below, only a few silver bugs.

What now? Although there were only a few hundred amoebas blocking the gate, only a small part of the several insect nests near the obelisk, and they were mainly black reddish-brown insects of average strength, but it was enough to drown the exploration team of only a few dozen people several times.

The situation is truly unusual......
