A month later.

"Chrono communication technology. ”

In the rolling sandstorm of death, Lei Luo walked forward step by step, unconsciously muttering the revelation given by Shadhara in his mouth.

Beside Lei Luo, Bai Lan tilted his head and followed.

Sheltered by the energy shield, the little girl tilted her head and looked at Lei Luo, who was staring blankly and deep in thought at the moment, looking strange and curious and naughty of the elf.

In the sandstorm beside the two, accompanied by the sound of "rustling", the human-faced spider swarm struggled to move forward against the fierce wind and sand.

After a long time, the human-faced Spider Coolana came to Ray Luo's side.

"Master, my people haven't eaten for too long, and many seriously injured people have fallen on the road, I wonder if there is an eye of wind in the vicinity that can be resupplied nearby? ”

In the past month, Lei Luo has been in the process of hurrying, except for a short stay at the Black Literature Academy halfway and picking up Bai Lan.

These swarms of human-faced spiders who had experienced fierce battles with wizards in the underground Banyan Lake gradually began to lose their patience.

Many of the badly injured human-faced spiders fell forever in the yellow sand.

Disturbed, Lei Luo woke up from his contemplative state, frowned, and looked at the human-faced spider Curliana who was full of anticipation on the side.

Seeing Lei Luo's displeased look, Coolana hurriedly said, "Of course, I will trade with energy stones equally, and I only need to supply some food and water to the seriously injured clansmen." ”

Speaking of the power stone, Culliana couldn't help but darken her face.

These so-called power stones, of course, were dug up by her own hands from the bodies of her fallen people.

"No, it's too long to build an alliance! For every minute of delay, the alliance has less time to prepare for the enemy. ”

Lei Luo's voice was unmistakable, making Cooliana's face pale, but she didn't dare to say anything more after all.

This is the price of sheltering in the shelter of others.

For Lei Luo, it was just the death of some inconsequential human-faced spiders, as long as the breeding spider mother was still there, the number of these scavengers would soon recover, and naturally he would not take it to heart.

"Mentor. ”

At this moment, the white and blue eyes on the side flickered, and suddenly grabbed Lei Luo's arm, pouted with a round little face, and said coquettishly in a long voice: "People are also tired of walking, for so many days, there is sand everywhere, and they always eat jerky, they are tired of eating, my dear mentor, let's take a rest, okay." ”

When Lei Luo heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, quite speechless, and couldn't help but think viciously in his heart, could this guy be Shadra's revenge on himself?

"Hmph, okay. ”

Relo stopped.

In the grateful eyes of the human-faced spider-eyed Kuriana looking at the little guy, Lei Luo took out the map, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the map and said slowly: "Then bypass a little and pass by this small academy." ”

After receiving Lei Luo's reply, the human-faced spider mother was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master!"

The predecessor of the Shadow Deciduous Academy of Natural Sciences, it was a mini-academy established by a small small principality during the catastrophe weapons arms race.

Miraculously, this small academy of sciences from unknown backgrounds did not disappear in the long river of history like most miniature science institutes, but grew stronger step by step after the catastrophe.

According to Xiao Kang's trade route map, this academy is rich in etching props for making forbidden enchantments, as well as fertilizers for cultivating crops in greenhouses.

A few days later.

As far as the eye could see, there was still an endless sandstorm, and there was no eye of the Shadow Fallen Leaf Natural Academy marked on the map, Lei Luo couldn't help but stop many times to confirm the map, and in the anxious gaze of the human-faced spider Curliana not far away, Lei Luo's face became gloomy.

"It seems that the Academy of Wind and Eye Sciences here has probably been destroyed and destroyed. ”

In this era, the demise of an eye academy is really a small matter that is not too important.

Almost every once in a while, similar news comes out.

As for the Destroyer, it can come from any inexplicable danger in the depths of the sandstorm, and of course, the most common dangerous enemy is the Superhuman.

"That ......"

Cooliana's face was also not very good-looking.

In the past few days, several more clansmen have fallen in the sandstorm forever, and it was she who personally dug out the energy crystal nuclei bred in the bodies of these clansmen for the final farewell.

"Send your people to look in the surrounding deserts, and maybe they can find some clues and some provisions. ”

"Good. ”

After a while, more than 100 human-faced spiders scattered and disappeared into the sandstorm.

In less than two hourglass hours, in the rolling sandstorm, the human-faced spider found some clues, and Lei Luo hurriedly rushed to the side with the eager Bai Lan, which was buried under the yellow sand, and several human-faced spiders were digging down along the spire.

"Sure enough, it has been destroyed. ”

Lei Luo muttered.

With the words, the yellow sand under him seemed to be subjected to a huge oppressive force, and it continued to fly away in all directions, and he himself squeezed into the ground little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, I don't know how much faster than the speed of these face spiders, and in a blink of an eye, a sand pit of more than ten meters appeared, entering the buried tower.

The rest of the human-faced spiders followed after Lei Luo and broke into the tower.

The main structure inside the tower is still in a near-perfect state and has not been destroyed in any way!

Incredibly, even if it was buried under the yellow sand, there was not a trace of leakage in the space inside the tower, the tower was empty, and everything seemed to have never happened.

As the crowd went deeper, the more their hearts hung up.

There was not a single puddle of blood.

There are no traces of battle.

There is not a single figure!

The silence was a little oppressive, except for the sound of his own heartbeat.

Lei Luo even saw the spiders on the spider webs on the shelves in the library, crawling quietly.

A few pieces of air-dried bread on the dinner plate were swept away by a few human-faced spiders, but there was no trace of the anthropologist's corpse!

It's incredibly weird.

"Master, this ......"

Even the human-faced spider mother Kuliana, who has been living in the dangerous environment of the underground world all year round, can't help but be shrouded in the strange atmosphere here at this moment, and feel a strange ominousness and fear.

She couldn't comprehend what had happened here with her own knowledge.

"Don't you think the situation here is similar to when you were invaded by the Wall Shadow Demon?"

Ray Luo suddenly said something that shocked Curliana.

"How is that possible!"

A black flame ignited in Kuryana's eyes, and she said in disbelief, "Those Wallshadow Demons are terrifying, almost impossible to kill, but their horror is only for the lower creatures, the invaded tribes are often forced to flee their native habitats because of the aggression of livestock and weak tribes, and there is no precedent for an entire tribe to be destroyed in this regard." ”

"That's just in the Underworld. ”

Sun and Moon's eyes flickered slightly, and Lei Luo said in a low voice: "This is the land of the Radiant Wasteland!" It seems that not only our anthropologists have obtained super-body mutations, but these ancient creatures that existed in ancient times have gradually begun to mutate due to the intensification of radiation, if human beings cannot stand out in this potential evolutionary competition, then the result waiting for human beings will be the same as this Academy of Sciences, which will be annihilated in the historical city and reduced to the ruins of later generations. ”

Although Relo's words were heavy, Culliana did not find them alarmist.

Because at this moment, the existential crisis of extermination, which is far more serious than that of anthropologists, is in front of her!

"Are we going to continue exploring?"

Culliana could feel the horror she had when she asked the question, it was so strange to kill all living things silently.

"Of course. ”

Lei Luo glanced at Cooliana: "If you don't even have the courage to know the enemy, what is the point of civilization in existence?"

Bai Lan on the side listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and the original elf's strange face became more serious than ever at this moment, and his eyes widened to prevent possible enemies.

After walking for a long time, everyone came to the bottom of the tower, but still did not find anything unusual.

And then there's the wastewater pipeline.

"Why are there no bodies?"

Kuryana asked the question of everyone in the room, including Relo.

Even those killed by the Shadow Demon should be able to find corpses in walls, underground, or furniture, and the corpses are often embedded in strange postures, which are extremely hideous and miserable.

But there's nothing here!

Finally, after glancing at a certain place, Lei Luo's eyes seemed to sense something, and the eyes of the sun and moon suddenly shrank.

It was a metal pipe.

The water tower's water pipes and sewage pipes are crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, interspersed in each room of the tower, forming a dense water transmission and drainage network, which represents the progress of scholar civilization.

Lei Luo walked quickly to a metal water pipe.

Innocuous hint After the operation, he gently cut a metal pipe short, and saw the squeezed and twisted corpse inside pouring out, and Bai Lan behind him suddenly screamed and took a step back.

The little girl tried to cover her mouth and looked at the twisted corpses so that she did not cry out in fright.

"It seems that these Wall Shadow Demons have indeed begun to mutate due to the power of radiation, becoming more brutal and aggressive, and scholars must immediately uncover the mystery of the survival and evolution of these Wall Shadow Demons!"

With a heavy face, Lei Luo took the white and blue on the side and walked quickly towards the surface.

"Grandmother, should we ......?"

The hungry human-faced spider asked with a hard swallow as he looked at the human corpse that was squeezed and twisted like a sausage in the metal pipe.

"It's only ten minutes, hurry up!"

Although she took the great risk of offending this [Sun Power], she really couldn't bear to let her people fall in the sandstorm, and after gritting her teeth in response, Kuryana hurriedly followed the figure who walked away quickly.
