Chapter 232: A Mechanical Beast Covered in Diamonds
In the streets, all kinds of ferocious aquatic plants block the way of the aliens. The attack of aquatic plants is extremely fierce, and even after the stems and leaves are cut off, they will begin to regenerate in just one minute. Every step that the alien race takes has to pay the price of blood. Every alien team is constantly being attritional. However, in the face of the unknown treasures lurking in front of them, danger could not stop their greedy desires.
These naked risks are even more irritating to them, making them even more crazy.
Of the five alien teams, only the Birds led the team towards the very center of the ruins. The rest of the aliens all showed puzzled expressions when they saw the bird's movements. Now is not the time for the bell tower to open, what are they doing here?Although the aliens were suspicious, they didn't pay much attention to it, and went straight into the alleys of the city, looking for houses with open doors.
After the ruins are opened, some of the houses inside the ruins will also open their gates. The aliens had recorded all this information since their last entry into the ruins. These houses made of unknown metal are so sturdy that it is almost impossible to destroy them from the outside.
A giant crab waved its giant pincers and slammed into a closed low house in front of it, this house was not as tall as the giant crab's body, but after the crab's pincers smashed on it, it didn't even leave a trace, its crab claws were directly shocked back, and even the balance of the body was broken, and the whole crab staggered to the ground.
The house shimmered blue, and the dull lines that covered the exterior of the house shimmered a little as the cancer slammed it.
"Damn the house!" cursed the Cancer, giving up its plans to storm and honestly searching for the open houses. According to the accounts of previous explorers and their native civilizations, if the door of the house in the ruins is open, its shell will become very fragile and easily smashed by the cancer.
The smashed house did not flash blue light due to the impact of the outside world, and the lines on the house did not react at all, as if the internal energy had long been cut off.
Various metal objects have been excavated from the tattered ruins. The black-ringed worms had sharp eyes, and they quickly found the gem they liked. These translucent gems are so hard that they are carved into a diamond shape, and even the skin of the black-ringed worm will be cut into a sharp wound. They swallow the translucent gems carefully for fear of hurting their stomachs. Each translucent gemstone can be exchanged for two brilliant rubies.
The leader of the snake people led his men to the door of a boxy house. When they saw the latter's door open, their eyes lit up. It was at this door that they picked up the musket technology in their hands.
It was a translucent blueprint that seemed to have materialized from virtual knowledge. Just like the treasures of civilization that Lin Ye once obtained, they are all the crystallization of a civilization.
And now that the doors of the house are open, there must be more advanced technology waiting to be discovered!, the snake leader greedily stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, while looking around with some wariness. The severed weeds in the surrounding streets were scattered on the ground and had piled up into mountains, and no other alien race was found around except for the snake people. Confirming that no aliens were spying on them, the leader of the snake men waved his hand and commanded his men to rush into the house.
If they do find a blueprint for technology more powerful than muskets, then it is possible for them to rise to civilization and swallow up the other four civilizations!
On the other side, the life of the giant bats is quite miserable, they can't fly, and the air cannon spewed out of their mouths can't smash the attacking aquatic plants, they can only survive under the attack of the aquatic plants, after just an hour has passed, the number of giant bats is reduced by a full thirty, and the surviving giant bats are now only twenty, they finally decided to give up the surrounding adventure, but gathered all the team members, ready to wait for the opening of the bell tower.
There didn't seem to be any danger here other than the aquatic weeds, but no one noticed that the aquatic weeds had absorbed the corpses they had left behind, their color became more blood-red, and the corpses had melted into the entire earth, making the ground tremble slightly. A crack slowly opened in the ground, and a blood-red eye appeared in the crack, with the occasional sound of tentacles churning, and then in a split second without the alien noticing, the crack closed again, as if nothing had happened.
Just when these aliens were looking for treasures, Lin Ye finally came to the gate of the city.
As soon as he stepped into the city gate, Lin Ye felt a great pressure coming towards him, this pressure did not come from the aquatic plants in front of him, but a ubiquitous depressed feeling, making Lin Ye feel that he was being spied on by a powerful creature. Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully observed the ground. He had just determined that the pressure was coming from the ground after careful discernment, and the latter quickly vanished.
Mysterious tentacle creatures......
The figure of a Blood Moon Lake monster immediately appeared in Lin Ye's heart, he took a few deep breaths, then shook his wings and continued to move forward.
Before he could take a step forward, Lin Ye was attracted by something behind the aquatic grass.
"It's a streetlight!"
Lin Ye opened his mouth wide and marveled at the high technology contained in these buildings, and the ruins here were similar to the technology developed by humans, but they were very different.
Lin Ye did not rush to explore the treasure like those aliens before, but set his eyes on the street lamp on the side of the street, the light blue light sprinkled by the street lamp made Lin Ye close his eyes and feel very comfortable, and the mysterious power that had been accumulated in his body for a long time also began to move, as if there were signs of breaking through the restraints of Lin Ye's body.
However, after Lin Ye opened his eyes, the mysterious power also fell silent again.
"The blue light emitted by these street lamps can promote the evolution of organisms, and unlike the mutation promoted by euglena, this evolution is generally a positive evolution to adapt to intelligence. At this time, the system opened its mouth to explain, it no longer studied the Void Core for the time being, but focused on analyzing what Lin Ye saw in front of him.
"Evolution?" Lin Ye tilted his head, and after thinking about it for a while, his eyes suddenly widened.
"It can promote evolution!" Lin Ye shouted excitedly, he knew what the meaning of evolution was. Evolution determines the development of intelligence, and also determines the potential of an intelligent being. You must know that the Phoenix Civilization that Lin Ye worked so hard to establish only slightly increased the evolution probability of its members, and the light emitted by a street lamp actually had such an effect, how could it not shock Lin Ye.
The aliens who passed under the street lamp didn't even know that a precious treasure was in front of them, but they didn't feel it at all.
The system sensed Lin Ye's imminent heart and said, "These street lamps need to use an unknown energy source, and the Phoenix Civilization is currently unable to produce this energy, so even if the host takes away the relic lamppost, there is no way to turn it on." ”
Lin Ye suddenly lowered his wings in disappointment. He remained invisible, wandering haphazardly while blowing away the aquatic plants with a strong wind. Lin Ye had already obtained the layout of the ruins from the map of the giant bat, but now Lin Ye had to avoid the detection of the aliens, and he could not be discovered by the other party.
After just ten minutes, Lin Ye found the trail of the snake man crawling on a small path. The floors clearly show signs of snake man scales. After Lin Ye thought about it, he bent down and decided to follow behind the snake people. He soon followed the serpent man's trail to a house that was several times the size of the others, and the gate was open, from which the sound of muskets was constantly ringing.
Lin Ye immediately became vigilant, he cautiously groped into the courtyard, and found that all the snake people were gathered in the courtyard, they were standing side by side, with muskets in their hands aimed at a mechanical object in front of them. It is a beast-shaped machine, its surface is covered with thick spikes, while the tips of the spikes are set with sharp diamond-shaped translucent gemstones. The beast-like machine's body, though rusty and extremely stiff, was still able to move.
There were a lot of snake people who had been scratched by sharp gems, and their scales were scattered all over the place.
"This is a diamond!" Lin Ye could tell at a glance that this translucent gem was a diamond.
The beastoid machine has a pair of sharp claws, and a thick layer of armor on its chest that blocks bullets from the snake people. At its heart, there is a faint, shiny object that seems to be the core of its energy.
It seems to have just been activated, and every time it lifts its legs and claws, it grinds off a layer of rust from its body.
The leader of the snake people shouted, "Shoot it!
The beast-like machine is always inflexible, its claws cannot catch the nimble snake man, and it can only be beaten unilaterally, but the snake man's musket is completely unable to break through its defenses. The beast's diamond spikes make it look like a porcupine, making it impossible for the snake people to fight it up close.
The snake man opened his mouth, and a pair of fangs were glowing coldly, and dark green venom dripped to the ground. They spew venom at the beast-like machine, but the venom that normally corrodes steel with ease is no use against the rusty machine.
The two sides had been fighting for ten minutes, and neither could help the other.
Lin Ye snuck to a corner of the courtyard, where he watched the battle between the two sides while keeping his body invisible, thinking about what he could do to repel the snake people without revealing himself.
