Chapter 425: Sure enough, there is a problem
"There's one more thing I want to tell you, maybe it might be useful. Seeing that they did not intend to leave, Rufino breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "Malapone has not been peaceful recently, in addition to the opposition forces trying to mess up the situation, but also because of the recent disappearance of a large number of residents. ”
"Why did you disappear?" Chen Feng asked.
"At night, these people come out of their homes as if they were sleepwalking, and then they go out into the streets in droves, and then into the middle of Lake Malapo......" Rufino said with a look of horror on his face.
"Isn't this a group suicide? how can it be called a disappearance, don't you care?" Jin Jian scolded.
"We tried to do it, but we couldn't stop it. Rufino said helplessly: "Because there are so many people, thousands of people came out of the cities around Lake Marapo and rushed to Lake Malawo like crazy, and we sent the police and the army to stop them, but the police and the army also went with them as if they were hypnotized." ”
Rufino said with a bitter face: "From the beginning of this strange incident to the present, according to our incomplete statistics, at least more than 80,000 people have entered Lake Malapo, but now there are no dead or dead people, since we can't be sure that they are dead, we can only say that they are missing." ”
"Actually, we really hope that they are only temporarily missing, so that at least there is hope of coming back alive, otherwise ......" Speaking of this, Rufino shook his head, not wanting to say any more.
After hearing this, Chen Feng finally understood why there was such a strong ferocious aura in this Malapo Lake.
This is at least 80,000 people who died here in just a few days, even if they were confused in their minds, but the resentment after death will only be stronger, and how can they be weak when they are gathered.
From this, Chen Feng also understood where the tired bones of the two white bone giants who had just gathered came from, but he was afraid that it was also related to these dead people.
"Lao Chen, do you think our compatriots still have a chance to live?" asked the golden arrow in a low voice as Rufino started the yacht again and headed towards the nearest derrick.
"Maybe, hopefully. Chen Feng said.
"yes, I hope it's all alive. Golden Arrow sighed and stopped talking.
I have to say that although the yacht Rufino found is not big, it is extremely strong, and it is still running normally after being smashed by the white bone giant before.
Because Chen Feng had killed a lot of water corpses before, he really deterred these murderous creatures in the water, so even if they wanted to overturn the yacht one by one and tear Chen Feng and the others apart, no water corpse dared to approach easily.
It's just that they are surrounded five or six hundred meters away, and their thick hair, like aquatic plants that have grown wildly in summer, spreads out in the water, and it looks quite terrifying. And the shrill screams they make people feel uncomfortable for a while.
At this time, lightning and thunder thundered over the Malabo, and the storm was continuous, and it became more and more violent, and the darkness around it became thicker and thicker, as if even the light of thunder and lightning was about to be swallowed by it.
But the view in front of the yacht was quite clear, at least the tall derricks could be seen clearly, and Rufino drove the yacht past without getting lost or encountering any obstacles.
It seemed that after Chen Feng killed many water corpses and two white bone giants, the culprit behind the scenes hiding in Lake Marabo was afraid, so he no longer tried to obstruct anything.
"Maybe it's just a deliberate show of weakness, trying to put us deep into the depths and kill us in one fell swoop. Chen Feng said to Jin Jian: "So it's better to be cautious and not careless." ”
"Understood. Golden Arrow nodded, looked at the derrick that was getting closer and closer, and said in a deep voice: "I hope there are still people alive, otherwise, even if I fight for this life, I will kill all those immortals." ”
Lake Malapo is a very special location, it is said to be a lake, but it is connected to the sea, because the terrain is relatively low, the sea water is not deep, and the surrounding swamps are rich in oil, and even due to the large reserves, the crude oil will continue to overflow from the cracks on the lakeside.
This also makes the vast lake oil production stations, derricks, kowtowers abound, and there are more than 7,000 oil wells in the lake area.
At this time, the derrick that Chen Feng and Jin Jian came to belonged to a domestic oil company, and it was a lake oil exploration project in cooperation with Venezuela. The oil workers used are all from China.
"I'll go. Chen Feng glanced at the derrick standing in the wind and rain and the familiar Chinese characters on it, and his heart throbbed for no reason.
"Be careful, then. "The Golden Arrow didn't compete with Chen Feng, after all, the latter was stronger, and he could fly with a sword, so he was more swift and flexible whether he was attacking or escaping, and it was the best person to enter it to investigate.
"Hmm. Chen Feng nodded, pinned the badge of "Huaxia" to his clothes, and motioned for Jin Jian and the others to drive the yacht farther away, and then the sword took off and flew towards the derrick shrouded in darkness.
The derrick was quite tall, and it would have been a roar of machinery and a lot of noise, but now it was silent, only the crackling sound of rain falling on the steel. 118
Chen Feng wanted to land on the derrick, but when the sword light fell down the moment, he inadvertently glanced down, and his heart immediately jumped, and he immediately urged the heavenly fencing under his feet to fly again.
"What is Lao Chen doing, why did he suddenly fly up again?" Jin Jian stood at the bow of the yacht, looking at Chen Feng from a distance, very puzzled in his heart.
But he also sensed that something was not right, his left hand held his bow tightly, and his right hand stroked the bowstring, his whole body was full of true yuan, ready to burst out with all his strength at any time to support Chen Feng.
The reason why Chen Feng flew up again was because he saw that the derrick, which should have been clean after being washed by the rainstorm, was covered with dark marks.
It stands to reason that since the derrick is a place where oil is extracted, it is not surprising that it is contaminated with some oil. However, Chen Feng could discern that these pitch-black marks were not oil, but more like strange runes.
They are like living beings, not only clinging to the surface of the derrick, but also spreading, as if they were moss growing on a wet rainy day.
A faint trace of just a small piece of runes was naturally not enough to discourage Chen Feng, a dignified A-level cultivator, and what really surprised Chen Feng was that he found that there were similar runes on the entire derrick.
Especially near the surface of the lake, these pitch-black runes have become dense, and even the color of the original paint on the derrick has been obscured.
Although Chen Feng had seen extraordinary, he had not seen all the runes, especially these runes, which were very different from the runes commonly used by cultivators, and he was more and more unable to understand them.
But seeing this derrick that was crawling with runes, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the altar in the secret territory of the Himalayas.
"Could it be that this is also an altar, or is it some kind of weird magic array?" Chen Feng's thoughts flashed in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of the people who had jumped into this lake in droves to commit suicide as if they were sleepwalking in the middle of the night.
"If this is really an altar, then those who die should be sacrifices, but what is the culprit behind the scenes trying to do? It can't be that it is also to summon some evil god they worship, right?" Chen Feng flew around the derrick for a week, becoming more and more sure that the derrick was indeed passive, but he couldn't see what its use was.
After thinking about it, Chen Feng didn't rush over again, but flicked his fingers and dropped a ray of sun true fire on this derrick.
The blazing sun fire did not melt the steel on the derrick, but was blocked by a sudden gray-black light.
It's just that the latter obviously couldn't withstand the fierce scorching of the sun's true fire, and soon became dim, and it was about to completely collapse and dissipate.
But at this moment, more gray-black light shone out on the derrick covered by more and more runes, forming a huge pillar of light that popped out towards Chen Feng, only to test the impact of a ray of sun true fire.
"Sure enough, there was a problem. Chen Feng thought to himself, his fingers pinched the magic trick, and the blazing and dazzling sun true fire exploded with the pillar of light as the magic trick fell.
In the earth-shattering sound of "bang ......", the gray-black light scattered in all directions, but it was quickly engulfed by the same soaring sun true fire, and there was nothing left in an instant.
"I'm going, and I'm able to block the head-on impact of my sun's true fire, this thing is definitely not simple. Chen Feng thought to himself, in a flash of sword light, he had already flown hundreds of meters away and returned to the yacht.
As for the Sun True Flame that had just confronted the pillar of light without falling into the wind, it also rose into the air again, and withdrew with Chen Feng.
"Old Chen, what's the situation?" Jin Jian asked.
"Not so good. Chen Feng shook his head, and without concealing the result of his temptation, he said, "In my opinion, this derrick has been transformed into a part of some evil altar or magic array or something. ”
"Lao Chen, are you sure? This is no joke. Golden Arrow glanced at the dense derricks erected on Lake Malabo, and his face became extremely ugly.
You must know that there are at least more than 7,000 derricks on Lake Malabo, and if they are really transformed into an altar or part of the magic array, as Chen Feng said, then you can imagine how huge this altar or magic array will be.
It's almost the equivalent of covering the entire Lake Malapo. According to official information, the area of Lake Malawo is 14,300 square kilometers.
If something like the last time there was a gate to open in the secret territory of the Himalayas, how many enemies would come through such a large entrance in a short period of time?
At that time, relying on the domestic army of Venezuela, I am afraid that it is unlikely to be able to stop it, which means that unless a nuclear-weapon strike is used, it is completely impossible to destroy all the enemies from the other world.
Worse still, if they take over Lake Marabo and use it as a bridgehead to invade the Earth, then not only Venezuela will be unlucky, but the whole of South America and even the whole world will face a steady stream of otherworldly enemies.
