Chapter 388: Ancient Ruins

The arrival of the Red Monster did not make the remaining intact defensive cannon react.

These cannons are either manually operated, or remotely - maneuvered in a hemispherical room, and perhaps automatically seek out enemies.

Because of the destruction, as well as the damage of the invasion detection device, the latter two have become ineffective, and can only go to the city wall to operate the defense cannon by hand.

But the red monsters have already entered the camp, and I don't know if the defense cannon can turn 360 degrees and aim at the camp.

For the average Dream Apostle, this is an extremely dangerous situation right now, and the best thing to do is to hurry back to the mines, pilot the miner, and try to kill the Red Monsters.

Mining machines are not weapons, but they are not small in destructive power.

For Xia Yanzhen, it was just a test.

Test the strength of this red monster.

Red Monsters are humanoids with heads up to three meters tall and human-like limbs, torso, and heads.

Tall, but not big, with long hands and feet, and overall slender.

The whole body is red, this red is the red of muscles, flesh and blood, and you can even see the changes in the muscles on the surface of the body between walking.

The facial features on the head only have a pair of eyes and a mouth.

The eyes are exactly the same as those of a human.

The difference is that the inside is filled with blood, there are no whites of eyes, black pupils, only a patch of red.

This crimson is more vivid than the color of the red monster, like a burning flame.

The mouth is the only different color on the Red Monster's body - a black circular hollow.

Without making a sound, the red monster walked towards Xia Yanzhen, deftly looking like some kind of feline.

It quietly came to Xia Yanzhen, raised its right hand into a fist, and fell.

The moment it fell, Xia Yanzhen saw the red monster's right fist swell up and turn into a huge "hammer".

It was only then that a whistling sound of breaking the air was heard.

Raising his hand, Xia Yanzhen took his fist and didn't move at all, not even retracting his arms and stretching his fingers.

It was as if he had received not a huge fist, but a fluttering feather.

"Well, it's not strong." Xia Yanzhen said secretly.

This punch is not strong, far inferior to steam armor.

"It's not enough to break into the camp, and I'm afraid there is something else to destroy the camp." Xia Yanzhen quickly made a judgment.

With the power of this red monster, at most, it can smash a hole in an ordinary house, and if you want to smash a hole, you need to do a few more times.

Survive and destroy the "dormitory" inside the camp, not even the center of the hemisphere, let alone the iron wall outside.

The blow had no effect, and the Red Monster picked up his left fist and was about to smash it down.

Xia Yanzhen took a step forward and slammed his fist into the red monster's lower abdomen without any fancy punches.

The power of terror bursts out.

A large hole was made in the red monster's chest and abdomen, and there was no blood, only red flesh and bone fragments splattered.

The red monster fell, and Xia Yanzhen's punch almost broke it in two, and only a little muscle was broken.

The fallen red monster became a broken corpse, with no special tenacious vitality, no resurrection, and died neatly.

To be honest, Xia Yanzhen, who had just experienced two missions and was an enemy of the "undead", was a little skeptical for a while if this thing was pretending to be dead.

Despite its human-like appearance, the Red Monster does not have any human organs inside.

The whole body is made up of only muscles, bones, oh, and eyes.

There wasn't even blood.

"There is no blood, these red marks, is it human blood? Or are there other red monsters that bleed? Xia Yan really thought about it, and then looked at the outermost copper wall.

I'm afraid there will be red monsters sent up, so let's take a look at it then.

Back in the intact lounge, Xia Yanzhen saw a prompt on the terminal that some damage could be repaired.

screen.

The indication of energy shortages is still there, and it can be supplied for another 9 hours.

The black ore reserves of the miners have been reduced from 18 to 10%.

In other words, the main energy source of the entire camp is black ore, so there is no need to worry about it in terms of energy.

As long as you run out of energy, you can collect more black ore.

And black ore can be found almost everywhere.

Red ore and gold ore can be used to repair those damages.

Including detection systems, as well as ground and air defense guns.

However, the detection system needs to consume a lot of red ore and gold ore, and the two ores collected last time are not enough.

Only one ground defense cannon can now be barely repaired.

Anti-aircraft defense guns were also undersupplied and could not be repaired.

Obviously, there is no need to repair the ground gun, because there is still a defensive gun against the enemy.

If the automatic detection of the enemy is not repaired, then a ground defense cannon is repaired, which is just a decoration.

It is impossible for one person to operate two guns at the same time.

As for the outermost steel wall, it can also be repaired, but it will require silver mines.

Xia Yanzhen walked out of the room and returned to the mine.

Keep looking for ancient relics.

This time, Xia Yanzhen dug for nine hours and returned to the cave hall.

The black ore was replenished to 25%, and the other three ores each had some income.

Mainly because there are only nine hours left to supply energy.

In order to avoid other accidents in the camp due to the exhaustion of energy, Xia Yanzhen came back first to "refuel" the camp.

When the miner sinks, it floats up, leaving 10% of the black ore.

On the camp side, the remaining time increased to 25 hours.

After thinking about it, Xia Yanzhen decided to fill the black ore at once to provide enough energy for the camp to extend the time of a single mining.

Time passed little by little.

In the past few dozen hours, Xia Yanzhen has increased the time that the energy can keep the camp running to 100 hours.

In the past dozens of hours, he can be said to have been sleepless.

But his mental state is still very good, and he is not affected in the slightest.

For ordinary people or dream apostles who have been sealed with power, the limit has long been reached.

Even if the "work intensity" of operating a mining machine is lower than that of driving, it is difficult to do nothing and not sleep for dozens of them.

And Xia Yanzhen didn't even eat.

He didn't even eat those nourishing pastes, and he was still in very good shape.

You can devote all your time to searching.

After a hundred hours, Xia Yanzhen drove the mining machine and began to really go deep into the underground mining area.

When he piloted the mining rig and went deep underground.

Outside the camp, several more red monsters appeared.

Three of them, like the red monsters killed by Xia Yanzhen, quietly approached the camp.

There are also two that fly in the sky.

He is also three meters tall, and his hands are longer, like bat wings, which are spread and fanned very frequently, but the flight speed is not very fast.

The Red Monsters enter the camp.

Normal red monsters began to wander, and flying red monsters landed next to the defense cannon and began to destroy the defense cannon.

Attracted by the actions of the flying red monsters, the normal red monsters also join in the destruction.

In the camp's room, the terminal is constantly sounding sirens.

It's a pity that Xia Yan, who is mining, can't hear it.

In order for the miner to connect remotely to the camp, it is necessary to repair the invasive organism detection device, which is more than just a detection device.

It is equivalent to a "base station".

This thing has been fixed to detect nearby invading mob red monsters, and remotely control the miner if there is no damage on the miner's side.

Before Xia Yanzhen could collect enough ore for restoration, he had already devoted himself to the great cause of finding ancient relics.

He didn't need any of this, finding the ancient relics early was the way to go.

In the camp, the smarter flying red monsters have already taken the normal red monsters with them, and all the defense cannons have been destroyed.

Each one is so fragmented that there is no way to see any repair.

After that, they searched the camp for a while, seemingly looking for a living person.

In the end, there was no harvest and then left.

For some unknown reason, the Red Monster did not enter the mine.

On the other side, Xia Yanzhen had continued to go deeper into the ground, and time kept passing.

Ten hours, twenty hours, thirty hours, forty hours.

Suddenly, the rock wall shattered, and the miner fell down with the debris as it was pushing downward.

"Boom!"

A sound echoed, and the miner landed in an underground space.

"What is this place?"

Xia Yanzhen opened the hatch and walked out.

Next to it is an underground dark river, and the rock wall above the head is dotted with a large number of stars, emitting a faint light.

It looks a bit like a starry night.

The air around is much cleaner than outside, and ordinary people can breathe even without a helmet.

"Will the ancient relics be here?"

Xia Yanzhen looked in the direction of the underground dark river.

Back in the mining machine, Xia Yanzhen tried, and the mining machine could continue to move, but the speed became very slow.

I don't know what the impact just now smashed it was.

He simply threw down the miner, took his helmet, and walked in the direction of the river.

After walking for a while, Xia Yanzhen found that the underground space around him became more and more expansive.

Plants appear on both sides of the river, and it is not known how they grow in such a lightless environment.

Probably plants that don't need photosynthesis.

"Bang la la la!"

The sound of running water gradually came from ahead.

Xia Yanzhen walked forward quickly and stood still.

The river turns into a waterfall here, cascading downward.

And on both sides, it turned out to be steps.

It's just that it's not for people—at least not for people of Xia Yanzhen's size.

The height of the steps is about 1.3 meters.

If it is a normal person's habit and standard, the height of the steps will generally be about 10 cm to 15 cm.

According to such a scale, the person who walks this step is a giant with a height of at least ten meters.

The river next to it is not a river, it should be considered a canal?

Those plants, even mosses?

With doubts, Xia Yanzhen went down one step after another.

After descending nearly a hundred steps and dropping in height by another hundred meters, Xia Yanzhen came to a "flat land".

The ground beneath your feet is made of large, flat slabs or blocks.

Apparently not a natural formation, but an "artificial product".

The flowing water forms a circular pool here.

Looking ahead, the stone pillars "stand up to the sky" and form an entrance.

Thousands of meters deep underground, the remains of ancient civilizations are hidden.
