Chapter XXXV
"Tick, tick. ”
Condensed droplets of water dripped from the stalactites and smashed into the hollow puddles of the ground, and the sound of dripping water echoed in the silent and empty cavern, faintly, but for a long time.
In the darkness, several unknown little beasts fell on the edge of the small puddles that once provided them with abundant drinking water and were their paradise, but today, this is also a place for their bones, and these resistant and vulnerable critters became the first victims, and they were unfortunately killed by the light of destruction before they could not even react to what happened.
But they were also lucky, at least they did not feel the pain and despair of death, and it could be seen from the corpses that they were frolicking by the puddle, without struggle, without resistance, they just fell quietly by the puddle, allowing the tissue fluid from the festering corpse to flow into the puddle, polluting the clean water source.
"Step, step", the footsteps came from far and near, three pillars of light tore through the darkness that shrouded the cave, and two figures appeared at the end of the pillar of light one after the other, slowly walking from a distance.
"There are still about 3.7 kilometers to the target. ”
Shur walked ahead of Saf, of course, not to protect the lady, and it was a normal choice for a physically strong physical class to protect a relatively fragile spellcasting class. Shuer walked in front because he needed to study while drawing a map, and he took too much attention, although it was almost certain that this trip would not be attacked by Warcraft, but even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance of being attacked, there could not be the slightest carelessness, so the female swordsman could take care of it before and after, so that no accidents would occur, this was already a tacit understanding between the three of them.
"It's getting farther and farther away. Saph stepped over the corpse of the little beast, seeing too many scenes like this along the way, and it was no longer able to attract the attention of the two of them, "The man-eating cave is like this, it twists and turns, and you can't tell the direction when you go far." ”
"There's always a way. Shure looked at every fork in the road, or leaned on the stone wall and listened carefully through the mask, and sometimes he had to lie on the ground to carefully observe the traces of the ground, that is, the head was completely closed by the mask, otherwise he might really stick out his tongue and lick it.
Especially when passing by corpses, if Moriah was here, he would definitely ask Shul strangely when he was even interested in corpses, whenever he passed by the corpses of medium-sized monsters, he would squat down and stare at them for a long time, and sometimes he would fiddle with those corpses full of blood blisters through his protective suit, which made Saf look very entangled.
"Roads are not always there, they are made by men. Eventually, Shure's gaze was fixed on the wall on one side of the cave, and Saf could even make up a satisfied smile on his face from the thick mask.
"In the name of the Dark Moon, add divine power to your body. A faint glimmer of light gathered on Shuer's arm, and although he couldn't see the bulging muscles of his arm through the protective suit, he could clearly feel the growing divine power on his arm, "I said, there needs to be a road here, so I ......"
"Boom", the hammer swung out, slamming heavily on the rock wall, and a huge crashing sound came far along the passage of the cave, and for several kilometers, the underground was echoing with a heavy roar.
But...... The wall didn't break open.
"Sasa. Shul froze for a few seconds before retracting the mace, his gloomy voice filled with depression. In order not to cause the cave to collapse, he not only carefully measured the bearing capacity of the cave, but also carefully controlled the strength, but unfortunately, the thickness of the rock wall was still a little underestimated.
"Hee-hee, got it. "There is still an essential difference between smashing and stabbing, the big sword pierces the rock wall lightly, and the big sword that can pierce through the thick steel under the strengthening of the fighting spirit, of course, it is not that the stone wall that has been shaken can be blocked, it is easy to open the mouth on the cave wall, and you can see it clearly by leaning the lamp over, and there is really another cave tunnel on the opposite side.
"Let's go, let's get over there. When Saf widened the entrance to the cave, the two of them curled up and passed, and the opposite side looked no different from the caves they had walked through before, and all the environments were the same, so it was no wonder that few people who had gone deep into this place made it back alive.
"There's a detail, I don't know if you've noticed. Shul carved an inconspicuous mark on the wall, "You remember the corpses we saw on the ground before." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Most of them are creatures that live under the ground, but they all burrowed out of the ground before they died, why?"
"They want to run for their lives?"
"It can also be said that these small creatures do not have strong strength, they live on the edge of life and death all year round, and they must have extremely sensitive intuition to ensure that they are not eliminated by the world. Shul lowered his shoulders and the pillar of light moved downward, just hitting the corpses on the ground, "Look, these corpses are facing a little differently when they die, but if you draw a line along their corpses in reverse, you can see that the reverse extension line will cross in the same place." ”
"They're hiding from that fragment you said?"
"Yes, just as the critters instinctively run away when a fire erupts or an earthquake, so does the Light of Destruction. Except for the most vulnerable, who died in an instant and had no time to react, those with a slightly more vigorous vitality would flee in the opposite direction of the light of destruction, hoping to stay away. ”
Kicking away the corpse that had just finished the explanation props, Shul wiped the pus and blood from his boots and sighed softly.
"Therefore, the creatures in the underground have drilled out of the ground, because the danger comes from the ground, but unfortunately they don't know, even if they are on the ground, they can't escape the shadow of danger, hehe, the light of destruction, there is nowhere to escape. ”
"No, Shure, they're running away from this way. Saph stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the cave tunnel, "However, I also observed a few of them just now, and they are not fleeing in the same direction, which is far from the direction of the escape of the few in front of me." ”
"Well, because they're not stupid enough to run in one direction, and they know that if you hit a wall, it won't only hurt, but you'll be killed. ”
"Nasty ghost, scolding me again. Saph patted his hood and reacted to himself asking a stupid question, these animals were obviously fleeing for their lives, not simply scurrying, of course they would follow the road, in the direction of running away from the debris, etc., so to speak...... "No wonder you didn't worry about not finding your target in the first place, because with these corpses to show you the way, even if there is a deviation, you can chisel the wall like you did just now." ”
"That's right, just now on the ground, I guessed the reason why they came out, that's why I was so confident that I could find the target. ”
"It's not just the ground. "Saf wasn't stupid at all, "You asked to be so confident when you came in person, I'm afraid you expected it at that time, well, take me instead of Moria, also because my ability to break walls is much stronger than Moria, right?"
"Hehe, let's go, knowing the direction of the emerald light, and with their corpses to guide the way, it's not difficult to find the target. Shuer smiled noncommittally, "The real difficulty is that I am worried that the target will not be so easy to destroy. ”
"Is it really from the underground? But you said it was from the Void. Say they're two things, but you say they're both the light of destruction. Dragged forward by Shuer, even if Saf knew that Shuer was changing the subject, he gently did not poke him, but said according to his intentions, "What the hell is going on?"
"Two things, indeed. Shur stopped at a fork in the road, went in and around each tunnel, and then retreated, and finally chose one of them, "There is indeed such a phenomenon in the void, and my lord was too busy resisting the light of destruction to answer my prayers. The appearance of the Light of Destruction is infrequent, probably only once in thousands of years, and the gods can detect and respond in advance. In fact, with the protection of the gods, the ground will not be affected in any way. ”
"But this time there was some surprise, because this time the light of destruction awakened the metal fragment that was picked up by the Lionheart King in the first place. Metal fragments?hehe, it is indeed a metal fragment, which can emit a simulated light of destruction, shooting out an invisible light that directly kills the metal fragments of all living things in the area. ”
"How many hundred square kilometers?"
"Yes, covering hundreds of square kilometers, in a matter of minutes, all living things will be wiped out. ”
"It's so vicious. ”
"yes. Shure asked himself about the thousands of soldiers and civilians who had died because of his decision, but the thought of the effect of this weapon still made him feel creepy. Shure is not afraid of war, but the fundamental purpose of war is politics rather than killing. However, it is incomprehensible that this is a weapon of extermination in a certain region, and it is impossible to understand how anyone could have made such a weapon for the sole purpose of killing lives.
"Wait, you're saying it's a man-made weapon?" Saph just reacted, "no race can make such a weapon, right?" ”
"Of course Pavatiga didn't, and my lord said that these were fragments flying out of the sky. Shure pointed to the sky, "Fragments from the Void." ”
"In the Void...... Are there any other planets with life besides Pavatiga?"
"Absolutely not, the will of the gods can cover the endless void, not a matter of distance, but conceptually, as long as they want, they can know the situation anywhere in the void at any time, hehe, the so-called omniscient omnipotence is not just a propaganda slogan created for mission. Shur sighed, "My Lord can be sure that there is no life in the void except for our Parvatiga, and we are alone. ”
"But where did this fragment come from?" Saph felt that his brain was not enough, "it can't really be like you said, it broke through the spatial barrier and came from the actual world." ”
"Oh, it's a pity, it's this 'never', there's a 99% chance that this fragment came from another world. ”
