Chapter 232 Dilemma 9
The initial opening and roaring were presumably to get used to the sealed mouth, but soon, they ended their unused state of opening their mouths and began to devour the various debris on the ground.
In previous battles, the ground had been covered with the corpses of a large number of their kind, a small number of warriors of other civilizations, and a few metal artifacts.
These monsters are not picky eaters at all, whether they can eat it or not, they all bite down, and then, the mouth that is split in half and then returns to the shape of the previous drill, but it keeps agitating in the middle, as if chewing. In just a few seconds, when the chewing stopped and the mouth was opened again, everything was gone. So I continued to bite into the next bite with a good appetite.
"They should devour each other and then evolve quickly."
Li Ningfeng calmly displayed his profound knowledge, but the truth was not as he thought.
The monster group did show slight changes in their bodies after eating a lot of things, but they didn't bite into their own kind. Even if there is nothing to eat under them other than the dirt that is essentially a super nanomachine, all they do is to look for it elsewhere.
"It's a bit weird." Li Ningfeng didn't show the slightest frustration at the mistake of anticipation, rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly called, "I understand, they are restraining themselves from eating the same kind of food first, and treating the same kind as an extracorporeal digestive system for strange food, and only when they have almost digested it will they take a bite to their companions." ”
Qian Xiaogang wanted to complain contemptuously about Li Ningfeng, but found that Qiu Yu was surprised to Li Ningfeng and kept sighing with unknown meaning.
"Is he really right?" Qian Xiao covered his face in pain.
"It's quite a crisis right now." Qiu Yu looked at Kumerbis seriously as if he was facing an apocalyptic crisis, "So I want you to voluntarily open the communication for me." ”
"You...... Isn't it already available? ”
As Coumerbis spoke, he involuntarily stretched out his fingers. If Li Ningfeng is the hero he worships, then Qiu Yu's display of wisdom has already made him fearful of ghosts. In a weak civilization, there are both the most powerful heroes and the most feared minds. Regardless of how weak it is now, sooner or later this civilization will become an existence to look up to, especially in this fast-growing game. Therefore, this possibility of the future alone has made Coumerbis no longer dare to treat them as a novice civilization, and at the same time has some expectations for their actions.
"Wait a minute, what I don't want to talk to other people this time, just send me the videos that your civilization has taken from various locations. Otherwise, they would be able to find an excuse to explain to several other civilizations the reason for the signal interruption just now, and they would not be able to really pass on any technology to them. ”
Sweat oozed from Kumerbis's forehead, although he had a lot to say to Qiu Yu, but in the end he chose to be silent, and according to Qiu Yu's request, he connected to all the pictures taken by his civilization.
The light screen in front of everyone's chair was covered with countless tiny images that suddenly appeared.
Qiu Yu clicked on a few casually, and most of them were pictures of monsters on the ground eating constantly. There are a few places that were presumably taken by the convoy accompanying the Third and Fourth Civilizations. In the picture, the monster's incessant attacks have stopped, and it is as if it were nothing in the face of the attacks of the giant sword and the blue arc. The fierce battles that have been going on all this time have turned into what is now a one-sided massacre.
Whenever a member of their own species is killed, these monsters neither avenge their own nor avoid possible attacks. Just frantically fight for the same kind that were killed.
This strange sight brought a Fourth Civilization warrior's attack to a halt, but then, at the behest of other warriors, he continued to slaughter the monster group with an arc.
After all, there are not many opportunities to easily eliminate each other, so every minute and every second is precious, and no one would think that the madness of the monster group will last forever, and after the current strange situation, it will inevitably be followed by a stormy counterattack. So in the midst of the uncertainty, the only thing that is certain is that for every monster they kill, the power they can exert will inevitably be reduced by one point.
After the monster's menacing head turned into a mouth, the Eighth Civilization killed them even more efficiently than the other two civilizations. You only need to drive the car down, push it all the way forward, and when you can't push it, then lift it into the air, repeat the previous steps, and you can quickly solve a large number of monsters. It's just that even so, in the face of a huge base of millions, the monsters destroyed are still only a small part of the total.
A group of angels of the Third Civilization gathered together, seemingly trying to take advantage of the monster's loss of control and enter the underground that might be hiding from the leaders of the opposing civilization.
The goal of the advance is also quite clear, a huge cave with a diameter of more than ten meters. I didn't approach the entrance of the cave before, on the one hand, because they didn't dare to really go in, on the other hand, the monster group carried out a dense defense here without counting the losses, and only a few dozen meters before the entrance of the cave, it was attacked by a terrifying attack without gaps, even if it was forced to enter, I am afraid that if it did not come out with a large force to break through, it would not be possible to go far and the whole army would be wiped out.
But at this time, the monster is out of control, and most of the leaders of the Third Civilization have a premonition of the crisis, so it is imperative to send people to test things.
As a result, this group of twelve angels walked steadily on the ground, using their giant swords to kill a bloody path. And because of the competition for the killed kind, a large number of monsters voluntarily moved out of the blocked position, making it easier than expected for them to reach the hole they had never set foot in. After a little rectification, the figure disappeared into the cavern that seemed to lead to hell.
Qiu Yu wanted to know the inside of the cave, but the view in the picture could only reach this position. Stretching out his finger with some regret, about to switch to another video, the entrance of the cave suddenly quickly became larger in the frame, and the back of the angel who disappeared into the shadow of the cave also reappeared.
The only possibility of this situation is that the Eighth Civilization car is following from behind.
After exhaling a long breath with mixed feelings, Qiu Yu devoted all his energy to this picture that showed the inside of the cave.
There is no lighting in the cave, so the video is converted to infrared mode. In the green picture, countless surging monsters gather in the rough cavern, desperately fighting for food on the same kind that have just been killed by the Third Civilization team, and the scene is chaotic and depressing.
Third Civilization squads are supposed to have night vision as well, so they don't have flashlights turned on or anything like that, but they don't move much slower than they do when they're outside the cave.
For the next ten minutes, the scene on the screen seemed to be playing on a loop. At any time, there is no difference from the previous horror cave, the small pair of the Third Civilization keeps repeating the mechanized action of killing, advancing, killing again, and moving forward. Behind them, too, there will always be a horde of disgusting monsters chasing food.
Qiu Yu's patience was not consumed by this boring scene, but as time passed, his expression became more and more solemn.
In ten minutes, just the ordinary walking speed can walk nearly a kilometer, not to mention that although the Third Civilization team has to kill and walk at the same time, the speed is not slower than that of ordinary people walking. According to conservative estimates, at least two thousand meters have been walked. Judging from the location of the cave entrance and the location of the hint point of the leader of the opposing civilization underground, the plane distance is actually less than 100 meters.
If you add to that the downward slope angle, which is barely visible in the cave, then the cave is likely to be a super-large, multi-layered spiral structure.
This shows that if the person walking in it keeps walking along the cave, it will walk tens or even hundreds of times more distance than the distance in a straight line. In the case that the opponent has troops covering the entire cave, the attacking side needs to waste dozens to hundreds of times more strength if it wants to achieve its goal.
If the First and Third Civilizations had identified one place to attack at the beginning, and had not been able to see through this trap at the first time, they might have been wiped out in less than half of it.
But compared to the effect of this trap, what worries Qiu Yu more is the trap itself.
Based on previous experience, the environment constructed by the nanobots in this world is based on the organisms themselves, not the familiar environment of the controllers hiding behind.
This is also easy to understand, if a human controls a dolphin to fight, and the environment that should be the sea becomes a city due to human influence, then the dolphin will not be able to do anything but wait for death. Therefore, for a civilization that controls the battle of creatures, the battlefield chosen by the chess players will definitely not let them be directly tossed to death by the change of environment.
Therefore, according to this point of view, this spiral-shaped cave was not deliberately created by the opposing civilization, but by these monsters known as battle creatures.
Regardless of whether this result is imposed on monsters by the other civilization, or whether these monsters are formed after tomorrow. They all point to one point - they are not as stupid as they seem to make such a cave that does not conform to biological instincts. The fact that you may have to be controlled in order to fight smartly is simply misinformation.
While Qiu Yu Qiu Yu was worried, the team of the Third Civilization finally realized the problem of the current way forward. After a brief pause in discussion, they attacked the cave walls.
Qiu Yu compared the observation direction of the Eighth Civilization vehicle with the possible position of the leader of the other civilization, and was surprised to find that the cave wall that these angels were cutting was not where the leader of the other civilization was in the prompt, but the central direction of the spiral cave.
The spiral structure allows people to go the farthest way, but as long as you find the center, you can go straight up and down.
"These angels are quite smart, and they don't just have well-developed limbs."
Sima Tianzhi, who was observing the same picture as Qiu Yu, was a little relaxed in their current actions. It's always nice to have an ally who is both strong and smart.
Qiu Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, since they have laid this kind of trap, they are naturally quite clear about their weaknesses, and it is impossible for us to simply do what we want." ”
As Qiu Yu said. After the Third Civilization cut out a space three meters wide and seven or eight meters deep with amazing efficiency, it was suddenly impossible to get close again. The giant sword that could easily cut through the mountain and crack the rocks could only leave shallow scratches on the cave wall at the current location.
"Damn, these people are too shameless, right? Actually use the power of super civilization nanobots to conjure such a perverted thing! I don't believe there are such hard rocks on a planet where life can be habited. ”
Qiu Yu also had the same idea as Qian Xiao. Since the other party can create countless monsters with the materials that belong to this world, it is entirely possible to cheat and make some hard defenses. But there is no point in studying the reasons now, the key is how to deal with such a situation.
If you're in that Third Civilization squad. Since you can't dig it, there are only two ways to go. Either exit or continue on the route given by the other party.
But to retreat is to waste this precious opportunity. And moving forward, you don't know how long this road to hell is, and maybe you can't find anything, so you will be attacked by the monster hordes that have returned to normal first......
