Chapter 12: The Doomsday Fortress
Evil is not entirely irrational.
This is a valuable experience that Yan Jing has gained after traveling to several different worlds.
The evil who occupies the spiritual realm in the world of Xudu and participated in the collapse of Shinto is the best proof of this.
In order to continue to erode the world, it can even lurk for tens or even hundreds of years, cultivating power in the human world and raising servants.
As it stands.
I'm afraid the evil man entrenched in the airport is not a good guy to get along with.
Yan Jing had no doubt that the strange people had already sent back the news of the expeditionary fleet's assembly, and the other party would inevitably target them accordingly.
This can also be confirmed by the increase in the concentration of evil energy in the area around the floating island.
The final preparations for the expeditionary fleet, which had been planned to take a week, now seemed to have to be accelerated.
Until then, however, reconnaissance missions against the airport need to continue.
By destroying the stones enshrined by the Strange Clan, Yan Jing uses secret techniques to briefly reach the location where the evil cult is hiding.
Knowing a rough outline is obviously not enough to support subsequent actions.
Yan Jing had to find a way to get close to the airport and determine an approximate location.
The Recon Ship chose to dive, descended to an area far from the outer floating fortress, and then detoured directly below the air harbor and ascended again.
This can avoid the evil perception on the floating island, and maximize the advantages of the small size and fast speed of the reconnaissance airship, if it is changed to an expeditionary fleet, let alone avoid perception, the fleet will be discovered by low-altitude elemental monsters at the first time when it dives.
You must know that at present, the entire Shenzhou world is affected by the evil energy of the other space, and the ocean, the wind tornado, and the islands may produce alien demons with natural elements as the core at any time.
This time, the reconnaissance mission was still carried out by Yan Jing alone.
It's just that the way of action has changed, Yan Jing no longer sneaks in, but chooses to keep a medium-range distance and observe with the help of props.
The reason is very simple, Yan Jing's actions in the main fortress of the northern defense line just now don't need to think about it and know that it will cause a chain reaction, coupled with the information sent back by the weird tribe, it is pointless to go to reconnoiter the distribution of monsters in the airport at this time.
He just needs to be sure of one thing now.
The exact location of the evil hiding in the airport!
The reconnaissance airship hovered low in the air, and Yan Jing cast a hidden mist charm on it before riding the tiger firefly into the air again.
Sitting on the back of the tiger firefly and looking up at the sky, you can clearly see the bottom of the giant island where the airport is located.
Although he had seen the relevant images and written materials before he came, Yan Jing was still extremely shocked when he really saw this island, which was once considered the final line of defense by the Shenzhou World.
The floating islands used to build the airport are not naturally generated, but are themselves made up of several giant floating islands.
Not only that, but these floating islands have also been transformed by the various powers before the fall of the Shenzhou world, which have done their best to transform them, and they seem to be islands, but in fact they have already become the last brainchild of the Shenzhou world industry.
Even at the bottom of the airport, Yan Jing still saw a large number of over-specification mechanical structures, like a precision instrument that had been magnified thousands of times, gears with a diameter of more than five meters could be seen everywhere, and the transmission shaft was laid as densely packed as tree roots.
As the distance closer, Yan Jing also saw the appearance of the bottom of the airport after being eroded by evil energy.
Between these objects that symbolize the pinnacle of science and technology in the world of China, worms covered with tentacles shuttle endlessly, and monsters formed by earth elements lie on their stomachs in the gaps of the gears, spitting filthy mud and some strange-shaped plants, dismantling the ground floor buildings that should support the operation of the entire airport.
The industrial crystallization of this Shenzhou world has become a magic cave.
After watching for a while, Yan Jing knew very well that now was not the time to pity, so he patted Hu Ying's back and motioned for it to continue to rise and fly to a position overlooking the airport.
Unlike the floating islands of the outer defense line, the sky islands are the base camp of evil cults, and the surrounding environment is extremely harsh.
The reconnaissance airship did not collide because it was approaching from below, and after Yan Jing rode the tiger firefly into the air, he found that the area around the airport had been completely controlled by evil energy, and a large area of gray-black thunderstorm clouds full of evil energy had gathered.
It's a good thing that the reconnaissance airship didn't break in just now, otherwise this thunderstorm cloud alone would have made the former scrapped.
The body of the tiger firefly that flew into the air fell into a temporary stagnation, the bats on both sides continued to tremble in the process of swinging, and it didn't take long for new insect wings to grow on both sides of its limbs and back, and several thorns stretched out on the top of its head, stirring the evil energy externally, forming a barrier around it.
The tiger firefly that had completed its evolution no longer waited and plunged headlong into the thunderstorm clouds.
As he progressed, Yan Jing quietly sensed the surrounding situation, and soon found that the thunderstorm clouds surrounding the airport were far more dangerous than they seemed on the surface.
Not only the erosion of evil energy and the image of thunder, but also the unknown number of monsters of their size, size, and special abilities hidden among the clouds, wandering in the thunderstorm clouds, waiting for an opportunity to hunt down any living creature that dares to come close.
In just a few minutes, even the tiger fireflies that had already released their own breath in advance were attacked by three waves.
The monsters living here have long been completely corrupted by the evil energy, and they don't care whether the intruder's aura is strong or not.
Fortunately, Hu Firefly was strong and repelled these monsters one after another.
In the end, he succeeded in bringing Yan Jing out of the thunderstorm cloud ring.
The airport is already in sight.
Magnificent, spectacular, solid
All kinds of adjectives were wandering in Yan Jing's mind at this moment, and it was still difficult to describe the appearance of the apocalyptic city in front of him.
It is the last hope of the world in China.
Say it's a port.
In fact, it is a rare large city or an unprecedented fortress of war.
Yan Jing has a hard time describing it in words.
The gray rain curtain and the gloomy sky, as if paint had been applied to this city that had fallen for decades, it was like a great place lost in mythology, sinking into the abyss of evil, waiting for the light to return one day.
After a brief moment of scarcity, Yan Jing quickly returned to normal, and he knew very well what the goal of this trip was.
Press the switch on the side of the frame to drop all the detection balls to record the current situation at the airport.
At the same time, Yan Jing began to try to find areas where evil might be hiding.
Previous contact had given Yan Jing some clues.
The place where the evil was hiding was supposed to be in a huge stone castle or palace, and if he remembered correctly, the main building materials of the entire airport were steel and various special metal materials.
Stones, especially those that need to be cut flat, large stones.
From the beginning, it was not included in the construction materials, let alone the palace built from it.
The last days need a fortress of refuge, not a spectacle to be seen.
This also means that the megalithic palace is most likely created by the evil spirit, or the alien space created by it with its own ability.
If it was the latter, Yan Jing's desire to accomplish all the goals on this trip would have become a luxury.
After all, the other dimension is by no means an existence that can be found by detecting the ball, and if the evil really makes up its mind to hide, no one will have a problem.
As a person who also has a different space, Yan Jing knows this very well.
It's just that the different space is not a bad street.
As one of the participants in the Shinto War, the evil in the world of Xudu was able to master the spiritual realm.
The evil rank in the airport is not as good as the one faced by the Xudu World.
This conclusion did not come from Yan Jing's imagination, but a hidden hint given by the torch.
When Fu Shudao and others proposed the Great Expedition Plan, Yan Jing had thought about its feasibility.
However, it is an established fact that the world of Shenzhou has been invaded on a large scale by evil spirits.
The degree of erosion can be said to be far greater than any world Yan Jing has been to before.
Yan Jing asked himself if he was not strong enough to fight the whole world on his own.
Therefore, as soon as he learned of this plan, Yan Jing asked if the torch had any possibility of success.
At that time, the torch did not give any response.
It wasn't until Yan Jing returned from Xudu that he mentioned the matter again.
Although the torch still didn't give Yan Jing any relevant hints, it gave the answer in another way, that is, through a short channeling ritual, it contacted Fu Shudao and the others in the Shenzhou world.
Just because you can't reveal information to the Ember Apostles doesn't mean you can't reveal some clues to the natives of the Shenzhou World.
There is not much content, but it is particularly important, that is, the world of Shenzhou has not been completely defeated yet, although the space barrier has been broken, the origin of the world is still there, and it has not been completely eroded by evil.
It's not that the Shenzhou world is strong, but the torch or the original Nanke forcibly preserved the origin of the Shenzhou world.
This makes it difficult for the most terrifying evil spirits in the other space to truly descend on this world, at least like the evil spirits in the Xudu world that need to be subdued by the three Yama kings together, it is difficult to get a chance to come.
Now that he had arrived here, Yan Jing hoped that there would be no room for evil in the airport.
If this is the premise to find its traces, then the original building of the airport can be ruled out, and what Yan Jing needs to pay attention to is the extra area on the floating island where the airport is located.
Comparing the current airport with the images in his mind, Yan Jing soon found that there were a large number of mountains in the airport that did not exist in the past.
For example, the location of the harbor on both sides for the dragon boats to moor has become two steep peaks of thousands of meters, and the buildings in the central area are even more strangely shaped dark basalt pillars.
Yan Jing had seen a similar existence at the end of the last dark plague, the illusion when evil came.
It's just that those pillars at that time were highly condensed by evil energy, and these were actually evil things in front of him, which made Yan Jing have to suspect that their role was most likely to be for some kind of ritual.
What's more, in the central area of these giant black basalt columns, there are large piles of boulders, half of which are above the ground and the other half appear to be underground.
In this way, Yan Jing also had a speculation in his heart about the location where the evil cult might be hiding.
The line of sight roams around the airport, and the footage of the spotting ball keeps coming back.
Yan Jing's mood did not feel relaxed in the slightest because he had found his goal.
The current airport has completely become an evil lair in terms of terrain, the distribution of monsters, and the situation of various buildings.
You want to win an expedition.
It's more difficult than you think.
