Chapter 45: Alien Cells
"Stop!" shouted Sean as soon as his men finished firing the arrows in two magazines.
The moment the order was given, the well-trained ones stopped attacking, but instead of putting away the weapons in their hands, they were still aimed at the corpses that had fallen to the ground and were covered with arrows, in case they slipped through the net.
Sean reloaded the gun in his hand, reloaded the magazine, scanned his eyes over the corpse on the ground, and then walked over to the nearest corpse with five or six bullet holes on his body, and kicked the lying corpse over, revealing a pale face with an expression of disbelief remaining.
Sean looked at the corpse at his feet and said with disdain: "What a bunch of fools! I think that if you fuse a little alien cells and produce a little ability, you will be invincible, but you are just a group of losers." ”
After speaking, he motioned for the others to throw all the corpses into the ground crack abyss on the side, not taking the battle just now to heart at all.
On the other hand, seeing the combat power of these people burst out, Nelson felt that it would be difficult for Leo and them to save themselves, and at the same time, he was worried that Leo and them would be discovered by his relatives and end up with the surrounding corpses.
So he put his hand behind his back and quietly gestured to Leo and the others in the cave behind him, telling them to leave immediately and leave him alone.
Both Jason and Catherine saw Nelson's gesture, and although they were also apprehensive about the battle just now, neither of them considered giving up on Nelson and leaving.
As for Leo, he didn't pay any attention to Nelson's gesture at all, because his mind was not on Nelson at all right now.
Most of his attention at the moment was on the sarcastic words that Sean had just said to the corpse, although it was just a simple sentence, but listening to his ears provided a lot of intelligence information, for example, in this sentence, Sean mentioned a noun alien cell.
It is not difficult to hear from this sentence that this Sean should know very well how these priests of the Akenaya Church obtained this chameleon-like ability, and that alien cell should be the key to this genetic mutation.
Thinking of the remains of a higher creature that he had obtained from that monster, it was not difficult for Leo to deduce that the alien god cell in Sean's mouth should be the remains of this kind of higher creature.
"It seems that the people of this world really have a set of xenogene fusion technology that is different from science, and the success rate is not low. While speculating on the origin of the alien cells, Leo also had a rather bold guess in his mind.
The reason for this speculation is that Sean ridiculed these priests as some failures, and since Sean can distinguish and classify failures, then Sean must have seen successful products that can be used as one, and there are probably more than one.
"Lord Sean, the Cableway Bridge has been built. Just as Leo analyzed the content-filled mockery, the man in charge of building the cableway bridge near the broken bridge shouted to Sean.
Sean walked to the edge of the broken bridge, watched the two ropeways stretch to the opposite side, the ropes swayed because of the air gushing out of the ground crack abyss, he couldn't help frowning, and confirmed to the person in charge, "Is this ropeway safe?"
"Very safe and absolutely fine. The man who built the bridge was obviously a nerd, and after patting his chest for assurance, he hesitated for a moment, and then collected his security, and said: "Of course, nothing can be 100% safe, Lord Sean, you can send two people over first, use this rope reinforce to completely fix the barbed arrows on the opposite side, and then use the cable roller to slide on the ropeway, which will be faster and safer." After a pause, he added, "Of course, provided there are no accidents." ”
Hearing his subordinates answer his questions in such a tortuous way, although the answers were detailed, Sean did not approve of the idea, but had an urge to slap him.
Sean took a deep breath, resisted the urge in his heart, and after raising the hand he used to slap, he patted the other party's shoulder in a different direction, and said, "In this case, the task of fixing the rope in the past will be handed over to you." ”
Although this person is a nerd, he is not stupid, and he refused without thinking about it: "Sorry, Lord Sean, I am not a member of the operation team, and I am not responsible for such a mission. ”
Sean wanted to put the gun in his hand at this guy's head and force him to walk through the ropeway, but he also knew very well that these people were only following his orders in this mission, and they were not really his subordinates.
Therefore, he could only think about it in his head, as for the reality, he instructed the two people in the action team to use the ropeway to go to the broken bridge on the opposite side and strengthen the rope again, so as to be foolproof.
Although these people are all elite warriors who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they are still terrified and frightened when facing this kind of ground crack abyss with no bottom visible below, and it took nearly half an hour to successfully let a person pass through the ropeway to the opposite side.
As for the other man, his hands and feet suddenly weakened halfway through the climb, and he fell off the rope, and his luck was very bad, the safety lock tied to his waist was not tied strongly, and finally he fell into the abyss like the corpse he had disposed of before
While these Engers were making the final arrangements to go to the other side, Leo used his spiritual net to test the other side, preparing to understand the situation on the other side first.
Originally, the width of the Earth Crack Abyss was only more than fifty meters at most, and with the coverage of Leo's Spirit Network, it could easily expand to the opposite side, but what was surprising was that there seemed to be a force on the other side that was rejecting his Spirit Network, making his Spirit Network unable to carry out any exploration of the situation over there, so the opposite side of the Earth Crack Abyss was projected on his three-dimensional map was a blank.
This is not the first time this has happened, as it was the case when Leo was on the ground during his expedition to the Saccharille. There were three rooms that could not be explored, and the reason for the inability to explore may have something to do with the three high priests of the church of Arconaya, as one of the rooms contained the meditation hall where High Priest Meijie, who had spoken to Catherine.
As for what force was causing this phenomenon on the other side of the Earth Rift Abyss now, he couldn't guess at that time, and the parabrain system couldn't analyze it until enough data was collected.
Just when Leo was entangled in the situation on the other side of the abyss, the man who had passed before had already strengthened the rope again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he hung the load-bearing rollers used for loading goods on the rope, let it go along the opposite side of the slope of the rope, and then lit the oil lamp in his hand, and shook it in the air, indicating that it was ready to pass.
"You, you, you......" Sean nodded ten people at once, and said, "You go with me, and the rest stay where they are, in case someone comes to interfere." After saying that, he shouted at Nelson, "Nelson, we ......"
Sean was about to call Nelson over, when he suddenly stopped as if he had been immobilized, followed his eyes to the exit of the passage, and the calm expression on his face completely collapsed, and his eyes showed panic and panic that could not be concealed.
Sean's anomaly also caught Leo's attention, and now Sean's expression clearly indicated that a dangerous presence was in the passage.
His attention just now was all focused on probing the situation on the other side of the broken bridge, not taking into account the situation on the other side of the passage, but his spiritual network was always open, collecting all kinds of data within the scope of the spiritual network.
However, when he checked the topographic map formed by the spiritual network, he found that the situation in the passage at this time was the same as the situation on the other side of the abyss, the spiritual network was rejected, and the constructed topographic map indicated that the small area was only marked as a blank.
Although the two are similar in function, they are not the same in terms of influence on the surrounding area.
The invisible repulsive force on the other side of the Earth Rift Abyss was strong enough to cover a huge area far beyond two hundred meters on the opposite bank, and the other could only act the repulsive force around his body, so he could still tell from the blank shape in the topographic map of the passage that this was a human being who was at most one meter eight tall.
"Y-Aren't you already asleep?" Sean obviously knew the comer, and was very afraid of the comer, completely devoid of the calm and decisiveness just now, and even his voice could feel trembling.
The others around were also aware of the problem, and raised their weapons one after another, aiming them at the exit of the passage.
"If I hadn't woken up, I'm afraid you'd have killed all my children. In the passage, a hoarse voice was heard, and a man wearing a red Arknaya robe and a hood over his head walked out of the passage.
Leo could feel Catherine's body tremble slightly as the man spoke and walked out, and it was clear that she knew the same person.
Because of Catherine's actions and the anomalies on the spiritual net, Leo can basically determine that this mysterious person wearing a special red robe is probably one of the three priests of the Aconaya Church.
Sean tried his best to explain: "You can't blame me, I was forced to fight back, they wanted to attack me first." ”
"But they didn't attack you after all, did they?" the red-robed man walked to the sculpture in the center of the square, stopped, and said calmly,
"I ......" Sean was about to say something, when suddenly a person behind him, probably too nervous, pulled the trigger and shot an arrow at the red-robed man, but the arrow did not hit the target, but flew behind the target by the target's cheek, and disappeared into the stone wall around the square.
The other Inge people with weapons may have seen someone doing this, so they also pulled the trigger of the mechanical repeater in their hands without receiving Sean's order, and shot the arrows in the ammunition magazine one by one.
In an instant, bows and arrows flew in all directions in this square that no one had approached for many years, covering the entire area, and the red-robed man seemed to have forgotten to dodge and let those arrows pierce into his body.
When all the arrows in the hands of the surrounding Yingge people were shot, the man's robe had been pierced with holes, and his whole person was pierced into a hedgehog.
Seeing the tragic situation of the red-robed man, Sean immediately wanted to cheer loudly, eager to kiss the person who shot the arrow first just now, but in the cave in the wall, Catherine covered her mouth tightly, her face was sad, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, obviously she thought that the red-robed man had been killed.
Only Leo sensed through the spirit network that the red-robed man's body was not only fine, but that there was an extremely strong spiritual energy in his body that was rapidly accumulating, and it would burst out in five seconds at most.
So Leo immediately withdrew the spiritual net, and quickly followed the method of the Federation psionics, overlapping and strengthening the spiritual net, forming a spiritual barrier around his location.
This spiritual barrier not only protects Jason and Catherine in it, but even Nelson below is within the barrier.
At the moment when Leo's spiritual barrier was formed, the spiritual energy in the red-robed human body had already accumulated to his extreme, and it was instantly released by him, forming a tsunami-like spiritual energy wave that rushed towards the surroundings.
This wave of psionic energy does not cause damage to inanimate objects such as rocks, but it has a lethal effect on all living objects.
Although the surrounding fluorescent plants were not the main target of the psionic waves, they were too fragile and died instantly after the aftermath of the psionic waves swept away, and the light emitted by the plants quickly dimmed, and soon the place fell into darkness.
Standing opposite the red-robed man, the Inge people led by Sean suffered most of the psionic waves, and they were so fragile under the impact of the psionic waves that they were no different from those fluorescent plants, as if their internal organs and brains had been put into a blender and crushed them, and their eyeballs were all squeezed out due to intracranial pressure, and finally they fell down like harvested wheat and stopped breathing.
However, Sean, who was the leader of these people, was not harmed by the impact of the psionic wave.
Because when the psionic wave struck, a pendant around his neck suddenly shone with a burst of light, enveloping him and blocking the psionic wave out.
As the psionic waves slid over the surface of the mask, they clashed with the mysterious energy contained in the mask, and the two erupted into a brilliant halo of colorful light almost simultaneously, which was particularly dazzling in this pitch-black environment.
On the other side, the scattered psionic energy ** entered the place where Leo was, and collided with the spiritual barrier arranged by Leo earlier, which made Leo's brain slightly painful, and he felt dizzy, and he quickly recovered, and Leo's spiritual barrier also clashed with the psionic wave like the light mask on Sean's body, and burst out with a faint light.
At this moment, Leo found that the psionic wave that landed on his side was much weaker than expected, and under the impact just now, his spiritual daily value was only a little depleted, far lower than his expectations.
Judging from the conflicting reactions of the psionic wave outside the mental barrier, even if this psionic wave was not blocked by him, it would not cause fatal damage to Nelson and the other two people beside him like the other Inges, at most it would only give them a headache for a while.
"Looks like my whereabouts have been revealed. Leo quickly understood why this was the case.
