Chapter 57: The Tide (Ask for Follow-up!) )
"For the sake of the Origin School, even if I die, I will die in the Lateis Ruins."
"If I can't get in, this expedition will become my lifelong regret!"
Yan Jing stood next to the sail shuttle in the cabin with his notes, his resolute gaze dumbfounded Burns, who wanted to leave him on the Xunguang, and could only give way to let him board the cruiser on the other side.
Compared to the sail shuttle, which can only carry one or two people, the cruiser is larger and has a smoother ride.
"Let's go, target the ruins of Lantis!"
Rosser gave the order, and several hatches opened in the middle of the Followlight's cabin.
With the sound of the engine, Yan Jing only felt that the cruiser's body trembled, and the scene in front of him suddenly opened up.
The cruiser burst out of the cabin and crashed into the sea of sand, with sand waves thrown outward on both sides of the hull.
The cruiser focused on what was in front of him, while another sat beside him, looking up at the whale under the stars to determine its bearing.
As time passed, the height of the giant whale continued to decrease, and the scope of the hovering area continued to shrink, until there was a rough location, and the people of the Tracing Sect collectively leaned forward.
Yan Jing leaned against the side of the ship, grabbed the guardrail with his left hand to stabilize his body, and the distance between the two sides inevitably narrowed, Yan Jing noticed that there seemed to be a large number of blue-purple crystal clusters around the giant whale's torso, in addition to metal and buildings.
It was too far away before, and it was only caused by the swirling light that appeared after the space was broken, but now it is discovered that this is not the case.
More importantly, as the giant whale fell, just as its bottom and the crystal clusters on both sides of its body were about to touch the sea of sand, a strange scene appeared.
The sand waves raised by the wind pressure actually changed shape when they approached the giant whale.
The sand and gravel are turning into water!
Through the background of the event mission, Yan Jing knew that the appearance of the Sand Sea was due to the disaster a hundred years ago that caused countless magical sand and gravel to fall from the spatial cracks to this world, causing most of the water resources to disappear directly.
Previously, on the Xunguang, Yan Jing, who eavesdropped on the crew's chat, realized that the so-called "disappearance" here did not mean that the water sources had dried up, but that they had all turned into gravel, and could only be turned back into water by influencing the source crystals, which were also products of the other world.
Low-purity source crystals need to be processed by mechanical equipment to achieve the effect of converting sand and gravel into water, which is what Yan Jing saw on the Xunguang, while high-purity source crystals can complete this step even if they only spill out energy.
No one knows how it works, and can only think of it as magic or a curse canceling each other out.
This is where the origin of the name of the source crystal lies.
Boom~
The moment the giant whale fell into the sea of sand, the sand waves that should have risen more than ten meters high completely became a wave.
The sea of sand with a radius of nearly a kilometer has become a real ocean and is still spreading, and what is even more peculiar is that the original sea of sand does not conflict with the sudden current.
Neither compatible nor mutually transformative, well water does not interfere with river water.
The giant whale floated on the surface of the sea like a dormant prehistoric beast.
The Origins Sect has obviously considered this situation for a long time, whether it is a sail shuttle or a cruising yacht, it has another mode, even if it sails into the sea area, it can still operate normally, but the state of the people on the ship is a little wrong.
"Sure enough, extremely high-purity source crystals are only possible in this kind of otherworldly ruins, and it won't be wrong, there is a very high probability that there are artificial source core fragments in the Landis ruins...... This is the way the sea of sand should be. ”
Burns propped his hands on the side of the ship, staring at the starry sky in front of him, his face full of excitement.
The night breeze blows, and the sea surface ripples layer by layer.
This was a normal picture in Yan Jing's eyes, but a soldier beside him was holding the side of the boat, almost greedily scooping water up his cheeks, and his mouth was constantly muttering something.
The same is true for others.
The frenzy is spreading.
For those who have been with the sand since birth, the sight in front of them is undoubtedly a miracle that only exists in dreams.
If it weren't for Rosher and Burns standing next to them, Yan Jing had no doubt that they would have stripped off their clothes and jumped straight down, even if they died in it.
The distance between the giant whale and the giant whale is getting closer.
Yan Jing's gaze also turned from the surface of the sea to the giant whale.
The whale itself looks like a large ensemble of buildings, and the part that floats on the surface allows you to see a lot of places to climb up and gaps to get inside.
The people who were able to participate in this expedition were all elites of the Origin Origin School, and the rock wall on the side of the giant whale could not stop them.
However, it is clear that it is not just giant whales that have crossed over from another dimension.
Yan Jing's gaze wandered everywhere, and suddenly froze, locking on a certain place in the waist and abdomen of the giant whale, just now, he saw a figure passing there, and before he could speak, he saw several beams of light shooting out not far away.
"Enemy attack! Be careful! ”
Burns, who was the first to notice, immediately opened his mouth to warn, but he underestimated the speed of the beam and overestimated the state of the soldiers at this time.
Faced with this lake in the middle of the sea of sand, many people get lost in it.
The ensuing cost is particularly severe.
Rumble! Rumble!
The two moving sail shuttles were directly shattered.
The debris fell into the surrounding water with flames, and the person riding on it was nowhere to be seen.
The explosion woke the soldiers in a trance, and the ship sped forward as the counterattack began, a web of guns sweeping over the previous beam.
In the sparks, several monsters that looked a little similar to scorpions, and were covered with crystal clusters, suddenly got up and retreated to the surroundings against the fire, even if they took a lot of bullets, they still moved quickly.
'High defense, with long-range attack means, looking at this hideous size, I'm afraid it's not weak in close combat. ’
Yan Jing, who was located in the rear, had a full view of the performance of these monsters, and this was only the outermost existence.
At the end of the firefight, although it failed to cause much effective damage to the monsters on the giant whale, it was able to suppress their attacks, and everyone was able to get close to the giant whale.
The fastest sail shuttle arrived first, and the soldiers who were the vanguard threw out hook locks, one end connected to the tail of the sail shuttle, and the other end embedded in the crevice of the building outside the giant whale, and quickly climbed up the rope, occupying the terrain and clearing a safe area.
Yan Jing was the last to board the ship.
Standing on the edge of the whale's belly, he could feel the vibrations under his feet from time to time, like the heartbeat of this mechanical beast.
Rosser had apparently done a lot of research on the Landis ruins beforehand.
Seeing that everyone had climbed the ruins, they walked straight to the nearest gap and jumped down without hesitation.
