Chapter 281: Fighting the Swarm (1/3)

Meantime.

-Interactive area on the bottom floor of the ruins-

"Are you sure this is the right path?"

led the team to the forefront, but suddenly stopped, the captain stared at the long road in front of him, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "It's too smooth, it's not quite right." Along the way, we didn't encounter Warcraft, Parasitic Beasts, or Strange Species. ”

The footsteps of the Flameland team echoed through the wide corridor, and as they walked forward, the sound sounded cascading and not noisy, but the only sound in the entire corridor was their footsteps, and the sound would be swallowed up by the darkness ahead.

In the Giant Golden Mushroom Cave, after seeing a large number of demonic beasts and parasitic beasts gathering, the Flying Flame Land special combat team realized that they and others might commit a big taboo, so they decisively paid a certain price and retreated after using their hole cards - the converging demonic beasts and parasitic beasts saw the 'competitors' leaving, and they didn't care too much, but continued their centuries-old habit of fighting.

After all, the human team is far more united than the monsters of different races, and even the parasitic beasts don't want to waste their strength to hunt down these new enemies, which obviously don't have much flesh but are very hard.

Since then, they've been looking for a way to the center of the ruins.

"Don't worry, this is the way."

Facing the captain's question, the nun of the Sleepless Eye was holding a crystal screen the size of her own palm in her hand at the moment, she stretched out her finger and slid it on the screen, and then nodded: "Our Spirit Machinery Church is proficient in relics, and we still have some experience in exploring unknown ruins. ”

"The road we are taking now is indeed the closest to 'straight to the center' of all paths."

"On what basis?"

The captain's brow furrowed, he had been quite uneasy, looking around from time to time.

He is the bloodline inheritor of the Wind Feather Winged Serpent, and his perception is amazing, and it is precisely because of this that he can win the victory in the dense forest battlefield that year.

Along the way, the team slew a lot of monsters that inhabited the caves and the corners of the corridors, and he didn't feel the danger at that time, and he was happy to take the lead in taking out the enemy.

But now, from the silence, he sensed a chilling crisis.

For him, the silence was a kind of calm before the storm.

Seeing that the other party was indeed very suspicious, the nun simply squatted down, turned her metalized fingers into tweezers, and took out a little transparent substance from the ground: "You see, this road is very particular. ”

"Pre-epoch civilizations will use a transparent film that is almost weightless on special roads to ensure that the things they want to preserve are immortal and indestructible - if you look at this place again, the twists and turns make sure that you can't see the end at a glance from the beginning, and there are some runaway barrier doors in the middle, which is enough to prove that the end behind this road is also a place that needs to be kept secret for pre-epoch civilizations."

"It's not necessarily for people to go." The captain was still retorting, but his tone was much weaker.

"That's at least a critical area." The nun said this and continued her exploration.

After a while, the whole team suddenly stopped.

Because the nun's claim was confirmed - there were indeed important facilities of the pre-era civilization ahead, and ...... Heritage.

"This is?!"

The scout who was scouting at the front suddenly let out an exclamation, and even the knights of the Spirit Sect who were scouting together let out a sharp noise: "...... Hiss...... Important findings! ”

They are all people who have been trained strictly, and they can't really help but definitely not make a sound, especially the Spirit Knights, who have got rid of the instincts of most flesh and blood, and it is difficult for anything to shock them.

Everyone looked up and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and the captain and nun were the first to step forward, and then they were shocked.

At the corner of the corridor ahead, the darkness was gradually dispelled by the lights of the special operations team, and in the humid vapor, a steel structure in the shadows was emerging.

The captain opened his red eyes wide, he couldn't describe what he saw with his eyes, but the voice of the spiritual nun on the side was suddenly full of joy and excitement: "It's armor!" ”

"It's the armor of a pre-era civilization!"

As the light grew brighter, a five-meter-tall steel giant emerged from the darkness and appeared in front of everyone.

The design of the tall metal armor is completely different from the armor and aether armament of Terra today, it is thicker, and the armor is not made of armor, but a smooth metal layer shaped out of a single piece, and the silver shell surface has a light white fluorescent flash, which is a special coating that can actually offset some of the effect of offensive psionic energy.

The armor was damaged, lying on the ground with its back against the wall, the gun in its hand rotten, the cockpit and power source completely destroyed, and there were no bones inside.

But just its existence itself is a great gain for the special combat team and the Spiritual Machinery Church.

"Why is there armor here? Or is it in a ruined state?! ”

The captain looked at the armor, and the premonition of danger irritated his nerves even more, but now that it was impossible for him to retreat.

Because this really proves that there is indeed an extremely important 'target' ahead.

Otherwise, no weapons of war would have been destroyed here!

"Probably a civil war...... Or it could be a heterogeneous biosphere ......"

After encountering the target, it was the side of the Spirit Mechanic Church that became cautious, and the nuns and knights flickered their eyes, and they were transmitting data with the infrared rays that flickered in their eyes.

Although the efficiency is not ideal, the daily communication is sufficient.

On the surface, the nun, who had been silent for a while, said in a cautious voice: "There is enough strong enemy in front of us to destroy the armor of the previous era, although we should have died a long time ago, but we must continue to explore. ”

"What, continue the investigation?"

The captain didn't notice this, and he also believed that the more dangerous it was, the more important it was to move forward...... However, as long as they can obtain a complete armor model of the pre-era civilization, for the current Flying Flame Land, they can continue to improve their armor and construct the Knights, which is enough to ensure the suppression of the Sertar Empire.

Of course, this is a bit of a big statement, but even for an individual, it is enough to make him a hereditary nobleman!

Even this group of brothers under his command is enough to go further, and even if they become sublimators, it is not impossible.

"Nope."

However, the Church of Spiritual Machines, which has always been more urgent than the task force, rejected the proposal, and said, "We will create traps and bait here, and then release the movement to lure out what may be behind it. ”

This is clearly the experience of the Church of the Spiritual Machine in the past to explore the ruins, and it is indeed convincing.

It didn't take much effort to create traps, and the special combat team carried a lot of weapons and equipment, and they were confident that even the second-level demonic beasts would definitely not be able to please them in the face of several alchemy cannonball-level charge traps.

After all, not every second-level demonic beast is the totem master of the Sequoia natives.

Next, the Church of Spiritual Machines released two kinds of baits - one was a pure essentia aggregate containing high poison, emitting a strange sweet fragrance that would be attracted to any magical beast that smelled it.

The other is an ornament with abundant psionic energy fluctuations, which can be detonated at any time to create a wide-area spiritual blast with very strong lethality.

After doing that, they waited.

"Buzz ......"

Not long after, there was movement in the corridor in the distance, which lifted the spirits of the people in the Flying Flame Land, who were waiting for battle, and prepared to deal with the strong enemy.

However, the humming sound became louder and louder, and even in the end, thousands of troops and horses galloped, and it was like a tsunami storm blowing, which was terrifying and inexplicable, and I didn't know what it was.

Immediately afterward, a series of piercing chirps were heard, even with the stimulation of offensive psionic energy, which made everyone who had eliminated the Spiritual Sect feel a tingling in their brains.

"Boom!"

Before everyone could react, the rolling black mist rushed from afar, and the black miasma in the depths of the ruins filled the entire corridor in an instant, devouring the light, and the five fingers could not be seen!

"Oops! It's a swarm! All with internal oxygen enabled! ”

The captain showed a frightened expression, he didn't need to use his eyes to observe the situation, so when facing the miasma, he was the first to react: "This is a swarm of psionic insects, there are extremely large numbers, and there are some more powerful breaths behind it!" ”

"Activate the trap, then fire!"
