In the huge passage, three cosmic warriors are moving forward cautiously and vigilantly.

They were dressed in heavy armor and their faces were covered under their visors, with only the emblems on their shoulders indicating that they belonged to three different squads, two of which had a strong mercenary style and the other was the skull banner that the Star Thieves were accustomed to.

It was clear that these were three human warriors from different squads, but here, they were tightly united, constantly marching deeper into the ruins.

"Hunter, can't you still build an information channel?" While carefully guarding the rear, the star thief asked.

They were all unlucky ghosts who were teleported to the depths of the ruins by the spatial rift, and a coincidence brought them together, so this temporary team was formed. The mercenary named Hunter is especially important, as he is the only guy in the team who is equipped with a high-mobility reconnaissance suit. In this highly disturbing environment, it is only possible for reconnaissance armor to make contact with the rear.

Sadly, twenty-seven hours have passed since they marched together, and they still haven't been able to get what they wanted.

In the head of the mercenary Hunter's armored intelligence, there is always a noisy distraction.

"I still need a little bit of time." Hunter replied, sweat drops visible on his forehead under the visor. "I just rebuilt the energy circuit and supplied 60% of the energy of the armor to the communication module, and I have already achieved some results. In a little while, maybe I'll be able to get in touch with them. ”

"Hell, this is the third time you've said something like that. From 20%, 30%, to 40%, 50% later, every time there is no result, why don't you directly supply energy to the limit? It's 60% again, do you think that this energy alone can penetrate the interference layer? The Star Thief's tone was very dissatisfied. And so it is. From the moment they were disrupted teleportation. Every minute is a risk of your life. In the depths of a strange ruin, there is no strong leader. A comet-star like them can only be cannon fodder.

"I can't transfer all the energy to the communication module because I need protection too." Hunter replied with a blank face. There was more cold sweat on his forehead.

In that short twenty-seven hours, they had gone through many battles, killing not only many Purifiers. and some magic-armored warriors with the same fate also handed hands. The danger level was terrifying to him.

Whether it's a star thief or a mercenary, they don't want to stay longer for a minute.

The Star Thief also understood Hunter's difficulty, so he immediately spoke after venting. "Give you another half hour. At the same time, I recommend stopping during this time. Find a place to be on guard. There's no point in continuing to venture out when you can't get in touch. We might as well save ourselves better. I'm sure the old man will find us when he breaks through the ruins' defenses. ”

"Okay." The other mercenary, who had not spoken, replied. He is the strongest fighter in the team and also temporarily holds the position of captain.

"But we need to find a suitable place to stay first. Wait until the next cave. ”

said. The three quickened their pace.

The passage beneath their feet was sloping more and more downward, and the pressure around them was increasing. Before you know it, the temperature around you has reached an extremely dangerous level. The air was full of toxic impurities, and the armored filter module sounded an alarm more than once.

But no one could stop, and so on for half an hour. They passed another corner, and then everyone froze.

"What's going on!?" The Star Thief shouted in disbelief. "For what, for what, for what there will be no road? Could it be that this passage is sealed? Hell, where the hell are we!? What are we going all this way for? ”

"Damn it." The mercenary captain also gritted his teeth, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness.

Yes, there is no road ahead of them. There is only a heavy wall. The captain didn't know what was behind the wall. But he knew the truth, in their current state. It's impossible to make a passage through the wall.

This is the end of their journey.

"Let's go back!" Faced with such a desperate environment, the Star Thieves finally couldn't control their emotions. "We're going to go. You'll definitely find your way home. ”

"I can't go back." The captain closed his eyes in pain. "Actually, you didn't notice that from the moment we entered here, every time we advanced for a short time, the passage behind us would change."

"It's a living relic. Every minute and every second, it's in motion. We're like bacteria in its veins. It can't hurt us, but it can restrain us. ”

Speaking of this, the captain took a deep breath. Said back. "Just be on guard here. Hunter, you enable the armor transformation module and complete the communication with all your might. We're in charge of the defense. Certain...... We must pass on the situation here before we die. If I'm not mistaken, this should be close to the core of the ruins. The dead old man needs our information. ”

"What about us!?" The Star Thief screamed. "What are we going to do?"

"We ......," the captain said in a deep voice, giving him a deep look. Dedication! ”

"You!?" The star thief's eyes were torn apart, and he was about to refute. Suddenly, a large steel hand stretched out from the wall behind him, grabbing his neck with one hand. The heavy armor became extremely fragile under this large hand, and the captain could even see the moment when the armor was deformed.

With a click, the star thief snapped his neck. The body hung limply.

The light in his eyes had dimmed, and life was speeding away from him.

"Bastard!" The captain's reaction was extremely fast, and he launched a counterattack almost the moment the star thieves were attacked. A large axe slashed into the steel palm. But something shocking happened. His energy heavy axe only swung half a meter before it was blocked by an invisible force field. Then, a red flame ignited at his feet.

In the flames, the captain only felt his armor melt like cream, and his body quickly lost consciousness.

In the last moments of his life, he struggled to turn his head and saw an incomparably beautiful back.

It was a woman with a bumpy and fiery body, and every point exuded a fire-like charm. A long fiery red hair fluttered behind her back. At the end of the long hair is an endless flame.

The woman didn't look at him, but just put a white palm on the newly transformed communication machine, and whispered to Hunter, who was stunned among them.

"I'm sorry, I appreciate your courage, but I can't fulfill your wishes."

The next moment, blazing flames spread from her hands, reducing the captain and Hunter to ashes.

The wall next to it squirmed, and a burly figure like a giant stepped out. Get down on one knee at the woman's feet.

"My lord. Are we coming? ”

Lil didn't look back, and nodded lightly after a while. Then he said coldly. "Sarek, you take the others to stay here. Don't take a step forward. I'm going to walk the road down on my own. ”

"But my lord!" Sarek was in a hurry. "You need guards, I ......"

"Smack." A slap interrupted Sarek's words. Then I saw Lil's cold gaze.

"No, but."

"............," Sarek was silent, and after a moment he knelt down again and whispered. As you wish. ”

"Good." Lil nodded. Then he turned and walked deeper into the passage.

There, there is a thick wall. (To be continued.) )
