Chapter 20: The Ruins
The scenery controls the Holy Sword prototype and hides in the dense foliage of a large tree. Cautiously observed, frantically searching for his mutant infection below.
Mutant infections are monsters formed by viruses that destroy the cellular structure in the body, causing the flesh to be distorted and diseased, so their strength and speed are abnormally enhanced.
Fortunately, mutant infectants are not reinforced with non-aggressive abilities, such as smell or sight. Otherwise, the scenery will not be able to escape from these monster hunts!
Taking advantage of the mutant infection below, he immediately jumped behind the trunk of a nearby tree as he turned his perspective.
Thanks to these plants! However, although it is normal for such ruins to be occupied by plants, it is ...... Isn't there a bit of a lot of plants here? ’
This ruins can be said to have been completely occupied by plants, except for a few buildings that can be seen in some places where plants are not very dense, it is not at all obvious that this place once belonged to the prosperous Orogene Empire. This kind of scenery is completely different from Tiannuo's description of "even the ruins, you can see the majesty of the glorious period".
Just as Scenery was thinking about these inconsequential things, Miro's voice suddenly came from his armor.
"Hey! Mr. Fengguang, I don't know if you have gained something? Mero asked in her peculiarly cheerful voice.
When the scenery first heard it, he was startled, and hurriedly went to see if the mutant infected people outside were attracted to it. After confirming that the call could only be heard by himself and would not be transmitted outside, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke to Mero in the direction.
"I said, how can it be so fast, you tell me that there is no specific location in this ruin! What's more, I don't even know what the inspiration sculpture looks like. The scenery complained about his displeasure.
"Don't worry, Mr. Scenery, I have good news, I have detected the exact location of this inspired sculpture, it is in a secret room of this ruin, I will send you a mark!" Mero said happily.
"Okay, I hope you're more reliable this time!" Complaining is complaining, and the scenery still needs to find a way to complete this task.
As soon as he hung up the call, Mero's marker was transmitted to the map of the scenery.
Shijing sighed helplessly as he looked at the target location marked on the map thousands of meters away and the mutant infected body walking aimlessly outside.
"It's really stressful!"
……
Rumble! Boom!! Roar~~
The quiet ruins suddenly became chaotic, with explosions, the sound of objects collapsing, and the roars of mutant infected bodies resounded through most of the ruins.
The scenery did not have the energy or the ability to move a few kilometers to reach the secret room where the inspired sculpture was placed. He can only try this most clumsy method - to break through by force!
Along the way, the scenery will run wildly while attacking some containers left over from the Orogene era. Most of these containers have become extremely unstable due to the length of time, and even the slightest collision can detonate them. The scenery uses the power of this explosion to destroy the surrounding buildings, and is used to stop the pursuit of mutant infections.
Close, close! The scenery looked at the ever-shortening distance on the map, but his heart was anxious.
Although he was able to reach the secret room soon, the army of mutant infected people behind him could not get rid of it at all. Treasure hunting with this group of dangerous creatures is obviously unrealistic!
What to do? Take a leap with a jump? No, the stealth time is too short, and I can't escape the pursuit of this group of mutant creatures!
The scenery is constantly shuttling among the various plants, but the effect is not obvious. Just when he was anxious, the army of mutant infections behind him suddenly stopped!
The mutant infectates roared at the scenery for a while, and then scattered as if nothing had happened!
What's going on? The mutant infected body left suddenly, but the scenery felt a little uncomfortable. The group of monsters suddenly dispersed...... It can't be something, right?
Although the power was lifted, the tension in Fengguang's heart was not lifted, and he explored around, but found nothing.
It's weird! Fengguang scratched his head, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter, after all, there was still a task to do. He turned and walked into the secret room marked on the map not far away.
Inside was a very empty room, with nothing but the three doors in front of it.
"But none of these doors can be opened?" The scenery pushed door by door, but each one did not move, as if it were just a fake door painted on the wall.
"Hey? Mero, this secret room can't be entered" There was no way, but the scenery decided to seek Miro's help.
"Ahh Message me much earlier than I thought! Looks like you're going well! "Look behind you, there's a big circular device on the ground, just step on it." ”
The scenery looked behind him, and sure enough, as Mero said, there was a circular device. However, it may be due to disrepair, but this device did not sink into the ground when the scenery passed from above.
This time, the scenery purposefully stepped on it, and the device finally played its due role. With a click, the circular device sank to the ground, and three doors opened.
That's right. Fengguang nodded hard and walked in through the middle door...... Then it didn't take long for the whole person to fly out upside down and hit the wall.
What the hell is this secret room! The scenery stood up with some difficulty and shouted angrily in his heart.
The middle door was a long downward staircase. It's not much here, but as soon as the scenery reaches the bottom of the stairs, a strong gust of wind blows in your face! The wind was so strong that it swept him down the stairs!
I can't believe I can't win against you! Scenery gritted her teeth and walked into the middle door again......
After being blown out four or five times in a row, the scenery still honestly walked through the door on the left.
There is an upward staircase, and when you go up, there is a wide platform. Looking to the right, there is also a platform over there, but there is no road ahead. The door on the right is also wrong.
There is a road on the left, but it has already been destroyed by all kinds of huge plants!
The scenery jumped out of the cliff of the platform to the branches of the huge plant in front of him, and after falling on it, he stepped on it carefully, making sure that there was no shaking and that he could withstand himself before daring to continue moving.
Zila! A burst of electric light opened the figure into the ears of the scenery, frightened the scenery and quickly dodged back, sure enough, a laser instantly penetrated the position where the scenery had just stayed, and the high temperature emitted by the laser burned a dent in the plants supported below.
After an unknown number of years, these traps are still working! The scenery was amazed.
But before he could think, there was another sound of a trap opening, and the scenery instinctively dodged to the side, followed by another laser flash.
Multiply! Zizi! Zila! As the scenery kept dodging, the traps were constantly opened, and the scenery had to keep moving, and as a result, I accidentally slipped and fell!
Of course, this height doesn't do much damage to the Scenery Warframe, but ...... Rumble! The scenery was once again swept away by strong winds......
"This hellish place, when you go back, you must let Merro increase the price!" Shiguang looked at this familiar location and said self-deprecatingly.
…… After several twists and turns, the scenery finally came to the end of the secret room.
"It's really hard!" The scenery looked at the things on the table in front of him and sighed. It was a very strange mechanical art ornament, probably because it had been left for too long and there was no energy source, and the parts on it would not move no matter how the scenery made it.
Forget it, don't worry about it so much, the most important thing is to take it back and complete the task. The scenery suddenly remembered his purpose, patted his head, and casually put away the inspiration sculpture.
……
I finally know why those mutant infections just now didn't come! Scenery thought in his heart - as soon as he picked up the inspiration sculpture, the wall behind the platform suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge mysterious space behind it, and a giant three-headed monster inside!
The monster was also confident by the sound of the wall collapsing, and the three heads turned around and saw the scenery!
"We are endless, become one with us, and you will be reborn!"
