Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Core Area

The blazing white fire fell from the sky and turned the entire city into a sea of fire, most of the power of the dragon's breath was blocked by the root-whisker butterflies and the crazy growth of demonic plants, in front of the blazing dragon's breath, a large area of demonic plants were burned into gray embers, these flames full of special magic power can still remain burning even after burning the surrounding demonic plants, this blazing white fire cluster is like a blooming white flower falling on the ground and burning quietly.

"Hurry up, we need to get out of this place before this place turns into a sea of fire." Wu Ming grabbed Elizabeth, who stretched out his hand to taste the taste of the blazing white flame, the latter was not depressed and angry after the idea of death was stopped, and kept up with Wu Ming's pace, and quickly shifted his attention to other places: "Big brother...... There are also buildings underneath the city, which seems to be the core control area of the city. ”

Zhao Xida withdrew her gaze from the black dragon and turned her head to look at Elizabeth: "Question, why do you know these things?" ”

The silly girl pointed to the demonized plants on the side of the road, and then took out a few leaves with only leaf veins that shimmered like specimens: "After eating those demonized plants before, there would always be some fragmentary pictures and information flowing into my mind, most of them were information about the underground core control area, and I felt that they seemed to attach great importance to it...... Oh yes, I have some good food left here, do you want to eat it? ”

Although the delicacy and magic of the demonized plant Zhao Xida's soulless empty shell may not be able to feel it, for the sake of the roasted pig's trotters and stewed pork ribs she usually makes, Elizabeth is still quite happy to share it with her.

However, Zhao Xida was obviously not very interested in these demonized plants, and shook her head and rejected her kindness: "No need, although I am equipped with a feeding module and have a high-precision sensory system, the possibility of obtaining relevant memories by eating these plants is extremely low, and according to your previous taste analysis, I don't approve of eating these demonized plants like you." ”

Wu Ming took a glowing leaf and tasted it, but the expression on his face became a little strange as he ate it, the indescribable feeling spread in his mouth, and the extremely pungent mixed taste was burning his tongue taste buds, and the air flow generated by the pungent taste rushed out of his nasal cavity, and the double impact of taste and smell made his eyes flutter, and his ears were ringing, Wu Ming couldn't tell whether the taste spreading in his mouth was delicious or unpalatable, because the moment he ate these leaves, I fell into a state of temporary vertigo.

If it weren't for the quick support of Zhao Xida on the side at the critical moment, Wu Ming estimated that he would probably be able to lie on the ground and perform and die on the spot......

"Hey, I said I shouldn't learn from her...... When I ate squid legs before, I found that the gap between the upper and lower limits of this guy's taste is unusually large. ”

Wu Ming's body leaned softly on Zhao Xida's petite shoulder, the double stimulation of taste and smell did not cause him any substantial harm, but the strong impact he felt at that moment just now still made him a little dazed: "I'm sorry...... When I started running away in front of me, I thought I was going back to the office to read the note and resurrected...... It's terrifying to have that illusion of a soul coming out of the body and sublimating to a higher level......"

"Big brother, big brother~ Do you want another piece?"

"Excuse me...... One slice is enough......"

"What's even more terrifying is that this guy thinks the anomaly is ordinary."

……

……

Under Elizabeth's guidance, the group finally reached the entrance to the underground core area that she remembered.

It wasn't an easy journey, because the battle between the Black Dragon and the Demon Forest had turned the entire city into a war zone, with roots and butterflies torn in half, dragon's breath flames containing special magical powers, hot and corrosive dragon blood, and pitch-black dragon scales and broken bone spurs, and it wasn't long before a batch of these strange things fell from the sky.

And then there are those ancient gods who have been resurrected one after another with the awakening of the Sky City, Wu Ming doesn't know if these gods still have reason or sanity, he even suspects that these ancient gods are a group of wild monsters that will take the initiative to attack and have a high AI, because Wu Ming has not been able to successfully establish communication and exchange with them once after beating them all the way, and the first reaction of the other party every time they meet is always waaaaagh indiscriminately like a green skin. Even if Wu Ming once asked Elizabeth and Zhao Xida to suppress a god and try to communicate with them, the response they got was that the other party didn't want to talk to you and decisively chose to blow himself up, blowing up half of Wu Ming's body into the ground, and finally Elizabeth dug it out.

On the contrary, the demonized plant that was previously regarded as a problem in Wu Ming's heart was very honest, and it may be the reason why the main energy was focused on dealing with the black dragon in the sky, and the demonized plant did not take the initiative to jump out to block it at all, but they witnessed countless tentacle-like thick roots breaking out of the ground twice, intertwined, and finally bringing up a large number of clods of soil and demonized plants into a miniature version of the suspended turret and flying towards the black dragon to support the root butterfly.

Elizabeth took Wu Ming and Zhao Xida to a dilapidated building hall that was so destroyed that only the base of the tower remained, and then climbed down to the bottom of the huge hollow in the hall along the thick tree roots, and then in most of the space was occupied by tree roots with a diameter of half to one person high, and the cramped and narrow cave was crooked and walked through for a long time, Wu Ming and the others finally came to the pure white passage of the core control area that Elizabeth saw through the eating demonic plants.

This is a semi-circular wide passage about ten meters high, the dome ceiling is releasing a faint light source, the light in the special material of the snow-white walls and floors under the reflection of the whole passage as bright as day, because it is buried deep underground, the things that have been left here have not been affected by any outside world is still very well preserved, a skeleton with a shriveled and twisted tree roots wrapped in the white skeleton can be seen everywhere in this passage, the hard skulls of these corpses are basically drilled by one or two tree roots, The twisted roots of the tree inside the skull seemed to silently tell the three of them what had happened here.

"It's ...... Human bones? Elizabeth asked, looking at the humanoid skeletons and frowning.

A light curtain shot out of Zhao Xida's eyes and scanned a certain skeleton in the passage up and down, and got a positive result: "There is no doubt that all the corpses here belong to humans, and they have been dead for at least ten years......"

Elizabeth twitched her nose, and she didn't know why she felt that her face had become a little ugly, and the whole corridor was lined with dry bones wrapped in tree roots, and this image continued until the end of the vision: "Even after ten years, the smell of pain released at the end of life is still so strong, what a tragic death......"

"Let's go." Wu Ming looked at the schematic diagram of the area nailed to the wall: "It seems that the front is the main control room, let's go over there and see if we can find some useful clues." ”
