Chapter 5, Distress in the Cave

This scream came out of nowhere, piercing people's lungs and shaking people's hearts. A sense of fear arose in everyone's hearts. Hurriedly gathered together, stood in a circle with their backs to back, and raised the assault rifle in their hands to guard in all directions. They have participated in countless operations together, and they have formed the most perfect tacit understanding over the years.

"All on alert, Chen Xiaoyun will find out the situation!" Luo Yi ordered, and everyone reactivated the mecha masks that could protect the face door.

So Chen Xiaoyun was quickly operating on the computer display screen on the arm of the interstellar combat mecha, only to see that the radar quickly scanned the entire cave and spread to the depths, and the terrain layout of the cave instantly drew a virtual map image, which was synchronized to the mecha masks of all team members.

At present, they are in an intricate cavern in the belly of the mountain, and according to the map, they are at the end of a passage, and there is only one passage leading to the depths of the cave.

"Captain, no threat has been detected for the time being." Chen Xiaoyun reported back.

"Everyone be careful, battle formation, look for the exit."

Under Luo Yi's instructions, the explorer team formed a cone-shaped battle formation, with the big man Wang Hai taking the lead, the Shuangwu brothers following closely on both sides, then Luo Yi and Lin Shuqin, Chen Xiaoyun and Liu Ruonan behind the two of them, and finally the rat Zhang Haotian was responsible for checking the situation in the rear.

I saw them raise their guns and bow their backs, patrolling back and forth in the dark with rifle tactical spotlights, slowly probing into the depths of the cave, and when they passed the hole hit by the explorer spaceship, Luo Yi looked up and looked up, and the gap in the roof of the cave that was shot out of the shot appeared a collapse again, and the passage was already tightly blocked, so he waved his hand without thinking about it and signaled everyone to continue forward.

As they passed by the edge of the cavernous pool, they found that there were obvious signs of crawling on the ground, and by the sight of this trace, the creature or the creatures were not too small, for all of them were standing in one of the crawling marks, and the pool of water might be the drinking place of the creeping creatures, and they all wondered uneasily.

Leaving the pool and continuing to walk, they soon came to the end of the current cave, and a long passage appeared in front of them, which looked very open, able to accommodate twenty people side by side, about 8 meters high, deep and bottomless. Everyone hesitated slightly, but chose to move on.

As they moved forward, the advance team looked around from time to time and saw that there were scratches on the walls of the aisle where the creature's body had rubbed against them, but it was not difficult to see that there were faint traces of artificial excavation, could it be that the cave passage in front of them was not naturally formed? If so, it means that there are intelligent beings, and this discovery makes them worried, they can no longer believe in any extraterrestrial civilization, everyone makes eye contact with each other, everyone knows whether it is a blessing or a curse, so they continue to move forward slowly.

As they went deeper, more and more traces of artificial excavation appeared on the floor and walls of the passage, and there were some markings that resembled runes carved around the passage, they could not distinguish the meaning of these marks, and the scanning and translation also found nothing, but at least they could be sure that there were intelligent beings in this world. So they began to guess what the purpose of this cave was, and when Wang Hai, who was walking in the front, accidentally stepped on a certain ground trap and shot several sharp arrows in front of him, a preconceived idea filled everyone's mind - the grave! Because according to the ancient burial data of the earth, most large tombs will be equipped with anti-theft mechanisms. Fortunately, Wang Hai's mecha mask locked on the target coming from the front, and fired intensively, resolving the crisis that might be pierced by sharp arrows.

"Big man! Be careful, Chen Xiaoyun, find out what might be a dangerous mechanism. Luo Yi patted the Shuangwu brothers on the back and reminded everyone to stop moving forward for the time being.

However, terrain scanning is difficult to effectively detect these intricately buried traps, so they propose to follow the trajectory of the giant creatures, at least this should not trigger any traps, but also risk being bumped into and attacked by the giant beasts, but at the moment they chose to avoid the former, because they are more worried about cold arrows shot out of nowhere than biological beasts, and maybe there will be more unpredictable deadly traps.

Fortunately, there was no danger in navigating through the winding passages, and they didn't have to worry about which way to go, just follow the trails and avoid all the passages where there was no sign of activity.

But it didn't last long, and two forked passages that had to make a choice again appeared before them, for at the end of one of the passages ahead, a stone door appeared, and the other led deeper into the cavern. For the sake of normal comparison and choice, they are more inclined to choose the side of the stone gate, after all, where there is a door, the probability of an exit is much greater.

So the advance team carefully walked through the last section of the passage to the stone gate, step by step, and the map also ended in front of this stone gate, and they had no idea what terrain was behind the gate. On the top of the gate hangs a plaque with three large characters written on it, and nothing else. Everyone looked up at this plaque and marveled in their hearts. Being able to see the words in a foreign land with their own eyes proved that the civilization here had developed considerably, and to their surprise, these three words seemed to be somewhat familiar.

At this time, Luo Yi looked at Chen Xiaoyun and asked, "Can you translate?" ”

After asking, I think it's ridiculous, this place may not know how many light years away from the Earth, and the computer can still translate the words of the alien planet.

Of course, Chen Xiaoyun couldn't hear the words in his heart, so he still raised his hand to scan it, and then muttered: "Zhenling Palace!" ”

Her answer startled everyone, and they all looked at her in disbelief and thought to themselves, "What the hell!?" It's really translatable, it's too advanced, isn't it? ”

Chen Xiaoyun saw everyone's incredible expressions and immediately explained: "Scanning and analysis shows that these three words are very similar to Zhong Dingwen in ancient China, and the computer has data storage, so they can be recognized." ”

After listening to Chen Xiaoyun's words, everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew what was going on in each other's hearts. It was ridiculous to say it, so everyone chose to be silent.

"Captain, do you want to go in?" At this time, Lin Shuqin asked for instructions.

Luo Yi looked at Chen Xiaoyun again, she immediately analyzed the terrain again with a "oh" and then said: "Captain, the terrain analysis shows that the other passage is also a dead end, and at the end is the existence of a giant cave, which may be the only exit." ”

Luo Yi thought silently for a while and then ordered: "Be careful, Wu Yan and Wu Yu tried to push the door and prepare to enter." ”

The Wu brothers acted the most cautiously and resolutely, and immediately took the order to walk to the door, lined up left and right, raised their guns with one hand, and slowly stuck to the door with the other hand and gently pushed it in. Hearing only a "crunch", the door slowly opened to both sides, Wu Yan and Wu Yu quickly separated to the left and right after entering the door and raised their guns to scan left and right, and the rest of the team followed closely behind.

After observing for a while, seeing that there was no danger, everyone put down the assault rifles in their hands and looked around, Chen Xiaoyun kept operating the computer on the mecha arm to do data scanning and analysis.

I saw that they entered a very empty huge dark cave at this moment, the ground rock wall under the spotlight projection did not look flat, the center of the cave in the distance exuded a faint light, the light was too dim, it was not clear what the existence was, and it seemed that there was still the sound of flowing water faintly, and there would be an exit if there was flowing water, this was basic common sense, and everyone was immediately happy in their hearts.

Luo Yi looked at Chen Xiaoyun again, and she immediately reported the results of the scanning and detection: "Captain, there is nothing around the cave, there is a pool in the center, there seems to be something in the pool, the radar cannot show the analysis, it seems to be interfered with by something." ”

After listening to Chen Xiaoyun's report, Luo Yi gathered everyone together and was about to assign tasks and actions, but at this time, a change protruded!

Suddenly, without warning, the entire cavern began to shake violently, and the whole mountain seemed to tremble, and debris kept falling from the dome. Luo Yi faintly felt in his heart that a huge threat was approaching them!

At this moment, I saw Chen Xiaoyun shouting loudly: "Everyone be careful! We're below! ”

Before the words fell, everyone suddenly felt a huge force rushing up under their feet.

"Everybody, spread out!" Luo Yi hurriedly shouted.

After speaking, I saw his feet bend slightly, and with the help of the amplification of the legs of the combat mecha, he ejected out, and everyone followed the same movement and jumped in all directions. And just as they made a move, the ground where they had been standing suddenly rose high, followed by a behemoth soaring into the sky! It's too late to take a closer look! Although they reacted in time in advance, they were still affected by the huge force rushed out by the comer, and they saw everyone stumble in the air and fall to the ground one after another. Just as Luo Yi rolled up and was about to raise his gun to shoot at the comer, he saw it open its bloody mouth full of fangs and let out an earth-shattering roar, which was the scream just now!

At this time, it became clear that they were attacked by a very strange and huge creature, with a huge head like a bat's head, with erect ears, round eyes, and a mouth full of fangs, which was very terrifying. But the body kept wriggling like a worm. The whole body is black and purple, and the skin is rough and thick.

When they saw the creature that attacked them, they were even more shocked by its terrifying appearance, and everyone forgot to shoot back for a while.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that it emitted a faint purple light all over its body, and made an inhalation movement towards everyone. Everyone only felt that there was a strong suction force on their bodies, and their bodies involuntarily began to fall forward, so they hurriedly took a step forward and forced their feet, and several iron claws instantly popped out at the bottom of the mecha's feet, firmly grasping the ground, and everyone immediately stood firm.

The huge eyeballs of the "bat-headed giant worm" flickered, and when it saw that these people did not show what they should be, they were slightly stunned, as if the situation in front of them surprised it very much.

"Attention, everyone, this monster is full of weaknesses, especially the head!" Chen Xiaoyun's eager shout sounded in everyone's headphones.

"Fire!!"

Luo Yi heard Chen Xiaoyun's analysis report, and looked at the "bat-headed giant worm" with a swaying look, and couldn't help but raise his gun and shout.

In the next second, everyone began to shoot frantically at the giant insect from all directions, and the sound of laser pulses resounded throughout the cave, and the bright light from the assault rifle reflected in the darkness of this side, like a dazzling realm.

The surface of the body of this bat giant insect seems to be rough and thick, but it can't withstand the impact of laser pulses at all, all the beams hit it and immediately penetrated its heavy body, only to see that the monster kept twisting and struggling and roaring under the dense beam attack, and in an instant, the whole body was hit by the beam out of countless small holes, splashing out of the sky with turquoise body fluids, and the smell in the cave was extremely fishy for a while.

But the vitality of this giant insect monster is also strong, twisted for a while, and began to spit out clumps of green slime from the mouth of the blood basin to the scattered advance team, everyone knows that these mucus must not be touched, so they use the thrust on the combat mecha to flexibly avoid the bombardment of green slime, and their hands are not idle, and the laser pulse has always effectively hit the giant insect monster.

"Be careful, this slime is highly corrosive, don't get it." Chen Xiaoyun has always analyzed the battle data for the team members, but fortunately, this giant insect monster is not good at this kind of attack, but it is just a dying struggle, and there is not much pressure on those green slimes to dodge.

The whole battle didn't last long, and after about ten minutes, seeing that the giant insect monster couldn't bear the pain, with a wail, he fell heavily towards Luo Yi's position in front of him. Of course, Luo Yi was not idle, seeing the giant insect fall towards him, he immediately went to the side, taking advantage of the propulsion on the mecha, and took a leap, avoiding the tilt of its huge body.

At this time, the laser pulse assault rifle in Luo Yi's hand was overheated, and he just let go of the rifle in the air, took out the short soldier with the gun on his leg with his low hand, rolled on the spot after landing, and then got up and knelt down on one knee and raised the semi-automatic live ammunition pistol in his hand to continue shooting at the head of the giant insect, picking out the weak positions such as the eyes and nose of the monster and shooting at the hole, and the impact of the gun kept echoing in the cave.

The monster giant insect lying on the ground struggled desperately, roaring from time to time, and its huge body that kept rolling brought a lot of trouble to the team. As they dodged the thrust of its massive body, everyone followed the captain's lead and began to shoot at its head in a dense manner. At first, the giant insect monster was still able to flicker and struggle, but after a long period of continuous blows, it gradually stopped moving.

At this time, seeing that the giant insect monster was not moving, Luo Yi raised his hand and clenched his fist to signal to stop shooting, waved his hand again to signal everyone to approach him, and then got up and walked slowly towards the giant worm, in order to confirm that it was dead, he also fired a few shots while walking. Seeing that it didn't react in the slightest, he put his mind at ease. At this time, everyone had gathered around him, and everyone looked at the corpse of the giant insect monster together. I saw that the giant insect was beaten all over its body, especially its head, and it was no longer possible to recognize its appearance at this moment. Green blood splattered all over the body, giving off a pungent fishy smell.

"Good, good, good ......."

Just as they were gathered to discuss what it was, they heard the wild laughter of an old man suddenly sound from inside the cave.

Everyone quickly raised their guns again with a reflex, and it was obvious that everyone was a little nervous. I just destroyed a huge monster, but what happened?

Then I heard the voice come again: "Don't be nervous, come to me, I have no malice, I will not harm you." The voice was loud and powerful, as if it was ringing in my ears.

"Is someone talking?! How is this possible?! Everyone looked incredulous, talking a lot, looking around and looking at each other, not knowing how to respond, and finally looked at Luo Yi together.

Luo Yi thought for a while, since there was a Zhongding text at the door, it was not surprising that someone spoke. Seeing that there was nothing else around, only a glowing presence in the center of the cave, he thought that the sound should come from the dark light in the center of the cave, so he waved his hand forward, signaling everyone to be on guard, and everyone was ordered, so he raised his gun and walked slowly towards the center of the cave in the form of a wild goose......
