As Master Gosai said, the crust is about to collapse.

Ian looked up, and he saw the dense cracks spreading over the crystalline crust overhead, like tree branches, making an unsettling creak.

However, behind the collapsed crystalline crust, a part of the steel megastructure and the fragile rock formations surrounding the megastructure were revealed.

- Crystalline crust is a structure that is covered by the day after tomorrow...... This place is not a complete natural rock formation!

"I see!"

The boy suddenly figured out what was going on in this rift: "The entire rift area is a cooling intersection!" These dense rivers extending in all directions were the cooling pipes of the year! ”

From the very beginning, Ian felt that the terrain of this place was abnormal, not at all like a rift valley that had been eroded out of the day after tomorrow.

Theoretically, there should only be one purified channel for the Living Water River, which is the passage that everyone in the Flame Land walked before, and the others are all cooling pipes.

However, it was subsequently artificially widened, and a huge hive was built.

The part where the hive is located was originally supposed to be a small purification device, purifying a small part of the hot water and transmitting it as ornamental living water to surround the entire base, while most of the other hot water will be transferred to the cooling area along the 'ψ'-shaped pipe, that is, where the ruins ice abyss is located, and then transmitted by the pipes of the ruins ice abyss to all the energy groups around the base as cooling water, and so on.

However, as stated in the relics system, some of the power packs have been damaged, causing the cooling water to be contaminated, and are now being absorbed by the mother worm as an energy source...... Now that there is no one in the Sequoia base, there is no such contaminated water at all, and it should be cooled if it should be cooled, and the AI should be able to make this judgment.

But the system has been tampered with by the Great Elder, and it has never been able to react to this incident.

The hive dismantles the purification device and jams the massive gate on the ground floor, then draws energy and radiation from the cooling water.

The Sequoia base cooling valve that was stuck had a bug, it should be in a special situation of 'neither opening nor closing', and could not be controlled by the remote control system, and could only continue the process manually.

But who can complete the process under the attack of the hive? The previous giant golden centipede was supposed to be a certain repairer, but it was still parasitized by the brain-eating worm, and it has been wandering in the ruins for many years, and after the hive was restored, it became a tool of the mother worm.

The heat dissipation system of the entire ruins is abnormal, just like the original intention of the BUG - just a small bug caused the huge base to be inoperable, and someone inside modified it, so the entire system was shut down.

The rift is essentially a cooling vent that is not completely closed, and the entire hive itself should also be an extremely important 'control device', a biological computer, which has continued to 'hack into the system' for so many years, affecting the judgment of the Sequoia Base automatic control system on this place.

At this moment, Ian looked in the direction of the behemoth's battle.

The battle between the crystallized dragon, the giant eel and the mother worm is earth-shattering, and even if these giant beasts collide with each other, they can have a certain impact on the geological structure, not to mention the area that was originally artificially created - the sides of the rift have been collapsing like dominoes one after another, and the rock crust above the head has also continued to fall.

The collapse of the crust will not cause any damage to the heat dissipation valves and the nest, just like a handful of sand can only cover them at most.

But the problem is that there is no way to blast the hive and keep the interface working!

After all, the mother worm of the brain-eating worm was re-conceived decades ago due to various coincidences, and this hive is not large, it is easy to be destroyed, and it is easy to be covered.

Ian also understood why the White Mist Church attacked all the monsters and forced them to retreat.

All he had to do was to avoid any impact on the bottom of the place, lest the nest be covered with a lot of mud and rocks, and it would be protected.

"I'm going to destroy the hive right now."

Immediately getting up, Ian knew that there was no time to hesitate, he picked up the explosive bag and carried it, and prepared to go to the hive immediately.

Anyway, now that the White Mist Bishop and the Crystallized Dragon are entangled in the mother worm, the situation is quite safe.

"Okay."

And Isengard didn't hesitate, he gave Ian another vial of his own blood, although his face was pale, but his expression was firm: "Be careful and safe, we will support you with artillery here......"

"Remember to drink potions." Master Gosai was still debugging the alchemy module of the artillery, and at this critical moment, he didn't talk nonsense: "I just thought that when using those explosives, you can use your 'that' inheritance to make a conical structure, and the destructive power of the explosives can be concentrated, which is more coherent!" ”

That inheritance is naturally an apprentice of sand armor, and Master Gosai naturally didn't tell him Ian's identity, which is not a good thing, but will harm the other party.

"Hmm." Ian nodded earnestly, he certainly knew how the structure of the armor-piercing projectile was capable of concentrating explosives.

He stepped off and leaped down the rim of the rift, urging the elven wings towards the hive like lightning.

But this action was also discovered by Patrick.

"You're here!"

Sensing his target, the blonde nobleman was stunned for a moment, but what followed was ecstasy - he thought that his mission would definitely fail, but he never thought that Ian and the others were actually here.

He turned his head, and he also noticed Isengard and Master Gosai on the other side, the man's gaze was complicated, but he had already made up his mind.

Patrick naturally wanted to come and stop Ian and the others...... Whatever the other person wants to do, he will block it.

Even if you can't live, you must at least die together.

However, just as Patrick was about to come and attack Ian and the others, Bishop White Mist always stood in front of him, and Ian accelerated after seeing the blonde nobleman's actions.

Even Master Gosai and Isengard began to take out various alchemical potions, and began to farm buffs in front of him.

"Don't stop me, old thing!"

Stopped by the White Mist Bishop one after another, Patrick yelled in exasperation, but he was agitated and excited, but he showed a fighting skill that he had never shown before.

Or rather, it was learned from his good friend, Viscount Grant, who showed skill in trying to stop him.

Brush!

He flickered and charged in midair, the Mithril Rapier in his hand thundering at the White Mist Bishop, forcing the old man to dodge - but the Waiguang Bishop was extremely skilled in combat, and he was so bold that he reached out and pressed against Patrick's flank as he dodged sideways.

In the next moment, the majestic lifeline essence will form a burst that will knock Patrick back, which will not hurt the other party who is protected by the Gloomy Flower Strain, but it will be enough to give Ian a chance to continue his actions.

But what no one expected was that the White Mist Bishop's palm struck out with a strong force, and it actually directly pierced the black flesh and blood suit.

- It's empty inside.

It was only then that the old man showed a slightly stunned expression, and when he looked at it, he found that Patrick had just moved so fast that he even formed a phantom and flew towards the other side.

It was indeed the Aether Armament that he had hit, but it was only the Aether Armament, and the 'wearer' in it had broken away from the side and galloped towards Ian.

It's like a shelled worm.

Wow!

Losing its wearer and entering its eroded form, the Ethereal Bloom wrapped around the White Mist Bishop piercing its right arm, and although the old man quickly used his essentia to isolate it from his body before it was ready to invade the flesh, he was indeed entangled.

Even because of the phase, this aetheric armed sub-strain feels a little more difficult than when Patrick was wearing it.

- Can't help anymore? It's so decisive.

Bishop White Mist didn't expect that someone would give up the Aether armament, but he didn't know that the Dark Flower Strain could not pose a threat to Ian and Esengard, so he spoke highly of Patrick's decisiveness: "Since that's the case, there's no way to do it." ”

"The Light of Glory - Apply for the use of psionic energy - [Mind Power] and [Psychic Communication]."

In an instant, his eyes lit up with two concentric circles, one blue and one gold.

The blue light flickered, and Patrick's figure froze visibly to the naked eye, and invisible telekinesis bound his body.

And at the same time, a faint old man's voice came from Ian's heart: [Ian, I am the bishop of Port Harrison Huaiguang Church, Bai Mist, and I know that there is a 'source of disaster' here that will lead to the erosion of the situation in Nanling in the future, and even cause a huge crisis to the whole world, so I have been looking for a way to enter this ruin. 】

[After conducting field investigations, I have determined that the huge nest in front of you and me is the location of the 'source of calamity in heaven and earth' in the prophecy of the church. I sense that you want to destroy it, but I must remind you that the real source of the calamity is not the nest itself, but a will within the nest. 】

Because it's an exchange of consciousness, everything is just a moment.

- The Book of Prophecy that Bishop White Mist said? Sure enough, the church has prophetic psionics.

Ian sensed that someone was talking to his psionic powers, and he was no stranger to this feeling, he had had a conversation with Viggers back then, so he immediately replied, "Isn't the will the mother worm?" ”

"What's more, if it is really such a terrible source of heaven and earth calamity, then why not send more priests to exterminate it?"

[No, the worm mother is just a tool of that will, a derivative of its malice, although I don't know why, but the message I received tells me so. 】

The White Mist Bishop calmly replied, "That will must be destroyed in order to completely destroy the hive, otherwise, its reverberation will linger in the control system of the ruins, and it will take a long time to dissipate, and this ancient ruins will continue this cycle of creating natural disasters. 】

[However, if we don't even destroy the hive and the mother worm, a terrible catastrophe will befall the Terra continent, and it will be a catastrophe for all living beings...... Of course, it may not be so scary, the prophecy gives two possibilities, one harmless and one enough to destroy the world, but we don't know why, it's rare, we've never encountered this before. 】

As for why more clergy were not sent, the answer was simple. 】

Because this world is full of all kinds of causes of destruction, this place is not the most important place, and the apostles of the Light are scattered all over this land, walking and staying, all with their own missions. 】

[The only thing that is certain is that we have enough power now to stop this, as long as we deal with it properly.] 】

Bishop White Mist's voice was unequivocally denied and surprisingly confident—an inexplicable confidence that Ian knew all too well.

That is obvious, and it comes from the confidence of the prophet.

There is no need to guess, it is the prophecy psionic inheritor in the Huaiguang Church who foreshadowed the disaster in Nanling and informed Bishop Baiwu that the people of today can prevent future disasters.

As for why the other party is unpredictable, it may be because Ian is also a prophet and is involved in this matter...... Prophets and prophets cannot prophesy from each other, and even if they could, there would be many more vague elements that would prevent the prophets from seeing the future through their own abilities.

Moreover, unlike Ian's foresight, the Church of Wisdom can directly reveal the source of the source of the disaster and the level of power needed to solve it, but other than that, there is no superfluous information.

The methods and tendencies of each prophet are different, Huaiguang's side is obviously the kind that only has results and no process, presumably the person who awakens this prophetic ability simply wants to know what kind of disasters this world will encounter in the future, and end these disasters as soon as possible.

Therefore, the White Mist Bishop can only use his own methods to collect clues and arrive at the inside of the ruins to investigate before he can know the reason.

And the old man's words also made Ian ponder: "The mother worm is just a tool of that will? Let me think about it, the brain-eating worm was originally an epicerebral slug...... Possession of the brain ......"

"Do you mean?!"

Ian was startled, he looked at the hive, his eyes were stunned: "The will of the Great Elder is still alive?" ”

"No, it can't be...... His soul is dead! ”

"But if it's an echo...... The words of a creature with echoes of the memory of the Great Elder! ”

At this moment, the vision of foresight swept over the entire lair.

Ian did see a breath of life.

A dark blue mist, quietly located in the middle of the lair!
