Chapter 189: Mysterious Liquid
Don't turn around, you don't leave.
Hearing Zhuang Xiaolin's words, all the mercenaries present trembled in their hearts. Before landing, everyone knew that the flight speed could not exceed Mach 7, but the take-off speed of the landing plane was not even Mach 1, but it still triggered the laser rays, and the power was even more terrifying, just one blow could blow the landing plane with a body length of more than 30 meters into pieces!
This means that no one can take off and leave, which means don't turn around.
If you can't take off, then how can you get back to the battleship? Wouldn't you be trapped on this planet forever? Several mercenaries, who were not psychologically strong enough, looked at the wreckage of the landing aircraft, their eyes glazed over, and shouted: "We are finished!" ”
Even Xin Xiao felt a little flustered in his heart, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed himself down.
Zhuang Xiaolin regretted it, this time he was really careless.
When I used drones to test before, I destroyed six in a row, and after learning about the speed limit of Mach 7, I didn't continue, and none of the six drones returned to the battleship, so naturally I couldn't trigger the restriction of "don't turn around".
If he had known in advance that he would not be able to take off once he landed, he would never have dared to send someone to land, and he would not have risked his life.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.
The only way to save yourself is to find out the hidden truth of this planet, and maybe there is a glimmer of life.
Zhuang Xiaolin saw that the mercenaries were all looking like mourners, and was about to shout to restore the formation, but the ground suddenly shook.
Everyone looked around, and the ground within a radius of hundreds of meters changed drastically, many rocks and dirt rolled up, piling up, as if countless invisible hands were shaping at the same time, and a few seconds later, rock giants more than three meters tall rose up.
The appearance of these giants is rough and unbearable, like a naughty boy twisted with stones and mud, and the facial features are distorted and blurred, but there is an inexplicable charm in them, giving people the feeling that the rock seems to carry the consciousness of life.
The rock giants spawned extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the mercenaries were surrounded by hundreds of rock giants.
They immediately attacked, but their tonnage bodies were quite nimble, and they ran with a roar and speed, and they surrounded them like a tide from all sides. The nearest giant spawned just a few meters away, and as soon as it took shape, it raised its stone fist and slammed it down on the mercenary's head.
The members of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Regiment are all experienced in a hundred battles, and this batch of landed mercenaries at least has the cultivation of high-level samurai, although they are at a low emotional point, but they still react extremely quickly, and they do not hesitate to raise their weapons to fight back in the face of outstanding attacks.
Xin Lin was one of the first few people to discover the formation of the giant, he aimed at the rock giant with a laser rifle, and was about to shoot, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hesitated for a few seconds.
The others didn't think much of it, and simply shot cleanly.
Bang bang bang......
Gunfire erupted on the plains, and all kinds of colorful beams of light or energy bullets poured on the giants, they were just ordinary rocks, and the dozen or so giants who rushed to the front were instantly torn apart, turning into a mass of debris scattered on the ground.
When everyone saw this, their hearts were relieved, although there were many of these rock giants, they were not terrible.
However, before this thought fell, dozens of tiny laser rays flashed in the crowd, and a series of explosions sounded, and the guns in the hands of the mercenaries exploded, and some of the guns were vaporized to the point that there was not even a little residue left, and they also caused accidental injuries to the mercenaries.
"Ah......h
"What's going on?" Panic spread through the crowd, and in just one second, seven or eight mercenaries fell, and more than a third of the mercenaries were injured by the explosion of their guns, their hands were dripping with blood, and even their entire arms were vaporized by lasers, which was terrible to see.
Only a few lucky ones who were slow to shoot survived, including Xin Silence, whose guns and arms were intact.
Seeing the situation of Xin Lin and the others, everyone immediately understood.
It's not just that you can't fly faster than Mach 7, on this planet, nothing can move faster than Mach 7, otherwise laser rays will be triggered. Whether it is a firearm with an energy beam or a firearm that uses electromagnetic force to excite a physical bullet, the speed of the bullet is far greater than Mach 7, and once fired, it will be destroyed by the laser ray.
In other words, the ban on firearms and weapons on this planet corresponds to the "don't fire" warning!
However, the crisis has not yet been resolved, and a second wave of rock giants has rushed in front of us.
Zhuang Xiaolin shouted, "Use melee weapons!" ”
He held the large war knife behind his back with his backhand, strode through the meteor, the heavy blade broke through the air, and in an instant, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters and split the rock giant in front of him in half, and the remaining momentum did not stop, a knife several meters wide cut horizontally, five or six rock giants were cut off by the waist, and the attack was suddenly stagnant.
The mercenaries woke up to the fact that anyone who could still move drew their melee weapons and faced the rock giants.
Xin Lin threw away the laser rifle in his hand, and the cicada-wing sword hidden inside the arm armor fell into the palm of his hand, and the blade popped out with a "bang", and the whole figure rushed in front of a rock giant in a flash, and the short body dodged the giant's fist, and four sword lights appeared in his hand, which quickly cut into the rock giant's body at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
When there were a few soft sounds, sparks splashed everywhere, and the sharpness of the cicada's winged sword could be described as sharpening iron like iron, easily cutting through the rock, and the giant turned into gravel with a bang.
Xin Lin turned and rushed towards the other rock giant, and did the same, killing three giants in a row. While he was slaying the Rock Giant, Telepathy kept an eye on the others, and found that most of the mercenaries were a little restrained in front of the Rock Giant.
These giants are large and hideous, their bodies made of rock are not easy to break, they move quickly and flexibly, and they have terrifying strange powers, as long as they are slightly rubbed to the edge, the armor will be deformed, and in less than a minute of battle, some mercenaries will be injured.
With the exception of a few men of great strength, the other mercenaries would have to have at least two or three men to deal with a rock giant.
Of course, for the two generals, Zhuang Xiaolin and Raven Draco, these rock giants are a piece of cake. One of them rushed to kill with a sword, and the other quickly slashed with a sword, and everywhere they passed, the rock giants turned into rubble, and there was not much threat.
A few minutes later, more than a hundred rock giants were slaughtered, and the ground was covered with rubble.
The mercenaries gasped, and several of them were injured, so they hurriedly took out medicine to treat their wounds, and the broken armor also needed urgent repairs. Raven is organizing everyone to save themselves, especially the mercenaries who were hit by the laser rays, four of them have already died, and there are even more seriously injured people, and if they are not dealt with in time, they will soon die.
Xin Silent was unharmed, but his face did not relax in the slightest, and telepathy scanned back and forth around him.
"Huh?"
With a flickered expression, he walked over to a pile of rock giants' rubble, used his cicada wing sword to open the stones to expose the ground, and examined them carefully.
Someone else might not have been able to see anything, but he noticed an anomaly on the ground at a glance.
The surface of this planet is mainly rocky, and there is also a lot of soil cover, because the temperature is more than 100 degrees Celsius, the black-brown soil appears very dry, and there is no liquid at all. However, in the sense of silence, there was a drop of red liquid in the soil in front of him!
The drop of liquid was very small, as thin as a needle's point, scarlet as blood, impregnated in the soil but not absorbed, always a complete drop, slowly penetrating beneath the ground, and moving horizontally, seemingly self-aware.
"What is this?"
Xin Lian's heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately guessed that this red drop was most likely the core of the rock giant.
He focused his telepathy on the red droplets, and suddenly felt an extremely hot breath, and the next moment - boom! A huge stellar illusion appeared in his brain, radiating an immeasurable amount of light and heat, filling the entire brain domain, causing his mind to stagnate and his headache splitting, as if his head was about to explode!
Xin Shi shook his head violently, and subconsciously withdrew his telepathy, only to find that he was shocked into a cold sweat.
"What the hell is this!"
He didn't dare to use telepathy to probe the red droplets, only to see them with the naked eye, but the drops had already seeped into the ground. He thought for a moment, and swung his cicada wing sword into the soil and dug up the whole piece with the droplets.
The blade of the sword brought the soil to the front, and Xin Lin picked up a long strip of stone, and pushed the soil away little by little, revealing the red droplets inside.
As the soil next to it decreased, the drops moved rapidly, like a small insect burrowing around, and when it was finally exposed, it changed violently towards the silence, and there was a ferocious feeling of teeth and claws. Xin Silence's face was solemn, and he didn't perceive the threat, and at this time, the red drops drilled down, directly contacting the blade.
With a soft hissing sound, the heat exploded, and the extremely tough blade was burned out of a small hole two or three millimeters in diameter, and a wisp of light smoke came out, and the whole sword quickly became hot.
Xin Lonely was shocked, the small droplet contained such terrifying energy!
This cicada wing sword was worth a lot of money, and he didn't want to destroy it like this, so the long sword shook and threw out the red drops on the tip of the sword.
The drops fell to the ground, quickly seeped into the soil, and disappeared in an instant.
Of course, even if the drops hide underground, Xin Lin can still find their location. His telepathy searched the carpet beneath his feet, and at once he found hundreds of droplets, hidden deep in the soil, motionless, as if they were dormant, absorbing the heat energy of the surrounding soil all the time.
"One hundred and four drops."
Xin Lin counted it, and the number was exactly the same as the rock giant that appeared just now, and it suddenly became clear in his heart that these drops were obviously the source of the rock giant's energy.
Normally, these red droplets are buried in the ground, absorbing heat energy and gradually growing, and whenever there is a movement on the ground, they will be awakened and release energy to shape into rock giants to attack.
"No wonder the surface temperature of this planet is so low, it turns out that the heat energy is absorbed by these droplets."
Xin Lonely suddenly felt in his heart, and could only marvel at the fact that there were no wonders in the universe.
He didn't know if this drop was a life, maybe it was a mysterious substance left behind by the super civilization that created this star system, but it could be expected that there must be countless drops hidden under the surface of this planet, and the amount was so large that it made his scalp tingle.
And it's just a danger, Xin Lone's telepathy tells him that the planet is in danger and could die at any moment.
"I must be extremely cautious, a great future awaits me, and I can't die inexplicably." Xin Silence expanded the range of telepathy a little, enveloping the surroundings, leaving no dead ends.
He turned his head to see that many of the mercenaries were rummaging through the rock giant's rocks, but the red droplets were so small that they were almost as small as dust, and they found nothing.
Zhuang Xiaolin also squatted next to a pile of rubble, his brows furrowed, and he didn't notice the existence of dripping.
"Forget it, let's wait for him to find out for himself, it's not appropriate to contact him too early." Xin Xiao decided not to tell Zhuang Xiaolin about the existence of the red droplet, so as not to be suspicious, and the high-ranking generals did not find out, how did he, a high-ranking warrior, know?
Raven walked over and asked, "Commander, what now?" ”
Zhuang Xiaolin got up, his eyes swept over the mercenaries, four had died in less than ten minutes after landing, and five were seriously injured, and they were unable to move, and there were more people with injuries on their bodies, nearly twenty people, and the situation was very bad. Even the mercenaries who were not injured were not in good condition, their faces were miserable, and they were very worried about their current situation.
He looked up at the sky, and the field of vision on the screen was enlarged, and he could vaguely see that the battleship was operating in an orbit of more than two thousand kilometers.
"Still can't you get in touch with the battleship?"
Raven shook his head and sighed: "No, the light brain of the power armor is operating normally, but no electromagnetic waves can be emitted, the shielding force field here is too strong, we don't know what technology is used to do it, and it can't be cracked at all." ”
"Eugene, they should have seen the situation in the sky, don't worry about the supply for a while, you can drop it at any time." Zhuang Xiaolin pondered: "The question now is how do we go up, or how do we find the ruins on the planet?" ”
He looked at the stone writing not far away, which stood out on the plain and could be seen clearly from above.
"You deal with the sacrificed brothers, let everyone rest in place, and I'll go over and investigate." After Zhuang Xiaolin finished talking to Raven, he walked towards the stone text.
Everyone thought to themselves that there was something else to investigate about these stones, and the reconnaissance satellites had already scanned them many times.
Xin Xiao looked at Zhuang Xiaolin's back thoughtfully.
In fact, he noticed on the battleship that Zhuang Xiaolin was hiding some secrets from the mercenaries, and it was related to the expedition ship that sent a message for help. These stone texts were left by the expedition ship personnel, and they are definitely not as simple as they seem, but also contain some hidden information.
I saw Zhuang Xiaolin walking back and forth, examining the stones that made up the text one by one, very carefully and carefully, and when he was halfway through the inspection, he suddenly turned around and came back, and said loudly: "If everyone wants to live, come with me." ”
