Chapter 49: The Core of the Dungeon (Happy New Year's Day)
Just as Qin Lun and the others were exploring the core tunnel of the ruins, the combined team of Chaos and Holy Light also entered the depths of the ruins and began to fight with Bahrain and Alex and the others. And the Guardians of Hesmail, led by the Ruxin Holy Maiden, are also at war with the Zerg who stayed behind at Yongdaokou.
In fact, Balin, Huo Biao, and Bowei were unlucky, and they happened to run into the group led by Ganluo, and they were quickly broken up and lost contact with each other, and several of them became prisoners of Chaos.
However, Alex and the other group of Guise pilots were very cunning, not fighting each other at all, using the small explosive~ bombs and passive mines that came with the soldier mecha to set traps everywhere, and the other two groups of people with Chaos went around in circles among the ruins.
Gan Luo couldn't do anything about it, except for his group, most of the other two groups were members of the Holy Light team, and although they didn't violate the agreement, passive sabotage was inevitable.
However, no matter how hard Alex and the others tried, under the siege of the other party, the manpower and range of activities began to shrink sharply. If you don't have enough strength to break through, you will be blocked by the opponent sooner or later.
Despite this, the Guise pilots fought their way, and the remaining two teams were fighting to survive at every turn. In order not to expose the secret that there was no descending apostle in the team, the lone Guise pilot officer often used the most extreme self-explosion method to cover up, and they were using their lives to buy time for Qin Lun and the others.
However, Ganro and Blake and the others were elite apostles with rich experience in adventure after all, once or twice and three times...... After the Guise Pilot exploded several times, they had already faintly sensed that something was wrong with each other.
But the problem was that there were more than 20 Guise flight officers brought by Qin Lun, and until the number was reduced to a certain number, they could not confirm whether the group of soldiers and mechs who were fleeing had apostles.
The Apostle who had already been captured by them wouldn't answer their question, not even the insider, because the others hadn't been talking back to the team channel. And he could confirm that he had not exposed any flaws before, and he had not contacted the Chaos Subgroup before entering the ruins.
Time passed, and Gan Luo's body suddenly shook at a certain moment, and his face finally lost its indifferent expression.
"My lord, all the bugs we left at Yongdaokou have been wiped out, and the other team has already come in." Blake looked at the prompt message in the soul seal, and his face was unusually ugly.
After the Hesmael entered the ruins, the apostles of the four teams received a message at the same time.
This message reminds the Apostle to try to gain exploration in the ruins here, but the stars will not release any other mission routes, and what will happen next cannot be predicted. Even if it were possible to completely destroy all the traps of the Apostle team if there were relics in this place, the starry sky would no longer be able to give any hints about it.
"Damn, I'll be able to surround them with some more time." Gan Luo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "He X Wolf, if it weren't for the Holy Light and those people dragging their feet, how could they use up so much time." β
"My lord, with all due respect, there are less than ten mechs in that batch, and the remaining apostles of the Lost Detachment are probably not among them." Blake said solemnly, "We should concentrate our efforts, defeat the team that just came in, and then pursue it." β
Gan Luo was silent, but the aura on his body became more and more terrifying, pressing down on the people beside him like a mountain, and the fierce light in the eyes of the insects stared at the two captives at the back of the team.
A little bead of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the two captives, of course they sensed Ganluo's killing intent, but the two of them were able to get to this point, but they were not people who were afraid of death, but straightened up and looked at Ganluo with a sarcastic face.
"Your Excellency!" Blake gritted his teeth and stepped forward between the captives and Ganro, cutting off the sight of the "Skinny Bear", "My lord, even if we fail this time, you can't do this, otherwise it will be impossible to poach the orderly front in the future." β
"Cut! These two guys aren't our main targets, and can't we dig some information out of their mouths? Ganro's blazing anger was vented, and he muttered something in his mouth, but he knew that Blake was right, so he suppressed his anger and turned away.
The two captives secretly breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged glances with each other. At this point, they don't know that their group has become the bait and outcast of the team. It's just that they don't know that there are spies on the team and why the team is doing it.
After all, in terms of strength, their group is all second-order, and when the team has several beginners, it seems too wasteful to be an outcast.
β¦β¦
"Miss Junzi, those natives have all gone in, are you persuading Lord Mei, we won't go in again, but there is no soup left!" One of the apostles licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining at the entrance of the ruins.
Although they did not enter the ruins, they also received a hint about the starry sky. After entering Palanto, the Apostle's exploration reward was increased to three times the base one, and for those of them who were not elite, this opportunity was not to be missed.
Junzi glanced at them indifferently, lowered her head and communicated with Qin Mei, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.
"Master Mei said, she has no new plans, you can choose whether to enter or not, how much reward you can get is up to you, this time you don't need to give her a commission. However, she wants you to understand that there are now three teams fighting in the ruins, and she will not care about you if you are in danger. β
"Mime-sama agreed?" The apostle who mentioned yì also looked surprised, to be honest, he just habitually complained twice, and he didn't expect Qin Mei to let go, after all, the demonic ghost has a capricious temperament, and he usually hardly allows others to disagree.
Qin Mei unexpectedly relaxed the restrictions, but instead let them talk about it cautiously.
However, the plain nature of these people, coupled with the fact that the situation in front of them was close to clear, and the rewards and temptations were moving, and finally the seven apostles entered the ruins together, and Qin Mei was left with only Junzi and another bald man who had followed them the longest.
"Big ...... My lord, they won't be in danger, will they? Seeing the seven companions flash into the ruins, Junko hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, Junko, you're still so naΓ―ve and cute, just a companion of one or two worlds, do you need to care so much?" Qin Meiyan smiled and said coquettishly, "Their fate is now in their own hands, and whatever choice they make, they will bear the consequences, maybe they will die in it, or maybe they will get a huge harvest, who knows?" β
β¦β¦
In ancient times, the angels had achieved a high level of self-evolution and technology, but unfortunately they finally took the wrong path and abandoned their bodies, and although they achieved the goal of semi-immortality, they also lost their motivation to survive and finally disappeared into the universe.
If it weren't for their own loss of desire to live, when Jannamer attacked, in fact, with their technology and ability, they could completely abandon the Gis system and start a new life in a new galaxy. Instead of bothering to leave a legacy, seal Jannamer deep in the heart of the galaxy.
Although the small amount of inheritance left by the angel clan 10,000 years ago was enough to develop the three intelligent races of Gith, Hismael and Gigus, the inheritance relic they left behind in Palanto was surprisingly primitive.
Poppy increased the power of the Particle Melting Furnace to a certain extent, and a soft flame of light emanated from the mech's body, and the space beneath the tunnel was illuminated by scattered points of light.
Contrary to what many people had previously imagined, there was no high-tech device underneath the giant tunnel, but rather a large, but unremarkable storage warehouse.
There are rows of stone piers in the "warehouse", which looks like a library lined up with countless neat bookshelves, the most conspicuous of which is a building that resembles a stone pavilion in the center of the "warehouse", in which a huge crystal plane ball floats, under the light of the mecha light flame, this sphere composed of countless small crystal planes is slowly lighting up.
Qin Lun let go of the holy thorns that bound his body and jumped onto a nearby stone pier to take a closer look. Reaching out and touching it, this stone pier does not look like a cold stone, but has a somewhat plastic-like texture, and the surface is spotless, reflecting the luster of metal.
The center of the stone pier is slightly raised upward, and a thin "book" is half-embedded in the surface of the stone pier. Qin Lun picked it with his fingers and found that the bottom of the "book" was not connected to the surface of the stone pier, and it could turn the pages, and it was really a book.
He didn't know what the material of the book was, but he was sure that it wasn't animal skin, or ordinary paper, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to preserve such a long time.
Turning over the cover of the book, there is no text recorded in the pages of the book, at least not the form of text in Qin Lun's impression, and the dense and neat conductor lines on it are very similar to some kind of primitive computer silicon wafers.
Qin Lun inspected several stone piers in a row, and finally confirmed that all the books stored here were like this.
"These are chip books, and you can't decipher the content without a decoder." Robin frowned, and said helplessly, "Qin Lun, we didn't pilot the mecha, I'm afraid we won't be able to take much with Bobby alone!" β
"Two leaders, will the crystal plane ball in here be the mastermind or the control device, maybe we can use it and input the book materials into Bobby's mecha light brain." Robben said alertly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the crystal surface ball floating in the space, and saw that it had now completely "woken up", glowing with a soft light, illuminating the entire underground palace in a faint light, looking like an artificial full moon.
"Bobby, increase the APB force field to maximum power, you all come here, stand behind the mech." Qin Lun thought about it and commanded in a deep voice, and when everyone gathered together, he raised his arms and stretched out countless branches, which condensed together to form two sturdy vines, which slowly extended towards the crystal surface ball.
The dark green Holy Thorn vines carefully wound around the crystal surface ball, but nothing happened.
"Your Excellency, you ...... How does it feel? Everyone watched Qin Lun's movements nervously.
"It's not good, it's like a stone is entwined." Qin Lun frowned and sighed, "It seems that our efforts have failed, if we don't defeat the team outside, I'm afraid we won't be able to take these books with us." β
Just when Qin Lun wanted to let go, the crystal surface ball that was entangled by vines suddenly shone brightly, and the chips on the surface changed strangely, collapsing inward layer by layer, and a counterclockwise vortex appeared. At the same time, a large projection of a woman's face emerged above the crystal sphere.
