Chapter 267: Ancient Existence
Rumble! Where they had just landed, a large crater had been smashed into the ground, and cracks had appeared in the entire staircase.
The tactical flashlight took off its hand and slammed into the distance, the light disappeared, and everything around it was once again plunged into darkness.
Xia Lu didn't bother to check the surrounding situation, and hurriedly checked Han Xiao's injury.
If she dies, she won't be able to get out.
"Get out of the way!"
Han Xiao's cold and angry voice came, and he grabbed Xia Lu's hand that was about to be pressed down and threw it aside.
"When is this all the time, you still care about this."
Xia Lu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
At this time, another air current struck, Xia Lu had already prepared, and hurriedly used the space to wrap the two people to death.
Rumble!
The space trembled slightly, and the air cannon that was unbreakable to defend the opponent could not be broken at all.
Xia Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Han Xiao, "How are you hurting?" ”
Han Xiao did not answer.
Xia Lu had no choice but to help her up, feeling that she was already weak, as soft as a rag doll.
"What the hell is wrong with you? To die say it in advance. ”
Xia Lu felt that her situation must be tricky.
Even if she didn't guarantee that she wouldn't be hurt by the blow just now, let alone her.
Burst!
As soon as Han Xiao spoke, he spat out another mouthful of blood and gasped rapidly.
After relieving her breath, she said, "I'm fine, it won't take long to recover, it's already determined our position, move on." ”
Xia Lu frowned.
He didn't like this situation very much, he didn't know who the other party was or what his abilities were.
He even doubted that Han Xiao knew what the other party's strength was, otherwise he should have told him a long time ago.
The two men continued to walk forward.
The other party was still releasing the air cannon, and after several attempts that could not break through Xia Lu's defense, he stopped.
Just after the two of them went down two steps again, Han Xiao seemed to regain his strength and pushed Xia Lu away, without even expressing a little gratitude.
Xia Lu was a little depressed.
As I continued walking, there were bursts of fluorescence all around me.
Xia Lu was shocked to find that they had reached the side edge of a staircase, and the place where the light was shining was at the bottom of the staircase.
More than thirty meters below their position was a waterhole-like place, and bursts of cyan light lit up inside.
The glow was eerie, like a liquid coming from a pool of water.
Above the waterhole is a dense mist, condensed but not dispersed, weird and inexplicable.
"Be careful, this is the Fountain."
Han Xiao's cold voice sounded.
At this moment, the underwater mist suddenly rolled rapidly, the surface of the water bulged, and a huge tentacle-like creature appeared.
The giant tentacles had eye-like holes on them, and in the void was a deep purple swirl of mistros.
This whirlpool is like a staring eye at people, the gaze is close to people's hearts, and it is like a tunnel to another space, deep and terrifying.
The moment he saw the whirlpool, Xia Lu's consciousness was in a trance, and various terrifying pictures kept appearing in his mind.
Not only the pictures, but every nerve in his body seems to be mobilized in an instant, and every detail in these pictures can be clearly felt.
Mutilated bodies, corpses strewn across the field, blood and decay in the air, and bodies stained with foul-smelling slimy blood.
Xia Lu frowned slightly, quickly concentrated his consciousness, and dispelled the picture in his mind.
Soon, however, another picture appeared.
His base is on fire, and countless xenos are devouring the corpses of his companions.
Bai Siyun, Yu Xiaoyu, Mrs. Zhou, Miss Zhou......
Some of them were devoured by xenos, others were in flames, and each of them had a face full of pain, despair and screams.
"Save Our ......"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm.
Xia Lu lowered his head, it was Yu Chengguang who was covered in blood.
"Xia Lu, you said that we can live as long as we do what you say, why ......"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Chengguang's head suddenly exploded, and a terrifying bloody tentacle attacked him.
Xia Lu instinctively raised the spatial blade.
And at this moment, there was a sudden clanging sound in his mind, and the spiritual platform quickly returned to clarity.
Regaining consciousness, Xia Lu suddenly found that he was pressing on Han Xiao's body, and the spatial blade in his hand was only a millimeter away from her neck.
At least with a little force, the woman's head will be cut off by herself.
And one of Han Xiao's hands was pressed on his forehead, and his hand lit up with a bright white light.
"Idiot!"
Seeing Xia Lu come to his senses, Han Xiao scolded, raised his hand and pushed Xia Lu away.
Xia Lu came back to his senses completely, only to feel cold sweat all over his body.
He was actually mentally controlled.
After meditating for many years, he has rarely encountered a person with a strange ability who can control his mind, let alone a different species.
Raising his gaze, Xia Lu suddenly noticed that two huge tentacles appeared on both sides of the steps.
Each tentacle has a swirl like a cyan eye.
The whirlpool seemed to be able to suck away people's souls, constantly rotating, making Xia Lu feel in a trance again.
"It's not a mind control ability, it's what it is!"
Xia Lu hurriedly lowered his head and didn't look at those eyes, and asked Han Xiao with a frown.
He must now know who his opponent is.
"This is a pupil devourer, which can absorb people's spiritual power, and it's okay if you don't look at it."
Han Xiao replied coldly, got up and continued to walk forward.
Devouring mental power?
Xia Lu was shocked.
He must have been devoured by his spiritual power just now, and his spiritual power was weakened before he was taken advantage of by the other party.
What a weird ability......
No, this shouldn't be an xenomorph.
Because Xia Lu faintly felt that the whirlpool like a pair of eyes was not matter, but like some kind of energy.
Like a black hole, it absorbs people's spiritual power.
He had just looked away when several pairs of devouring pupils suddenly appeared as far as his eyes could see.
Spatial mapping!
Sure enough, he guessed correctly, the pupil-devouring pupil was really not composed of matter, it was a pure energy body.
Only pure energy bodies can achieve spatial mapping and transfer energy to different spaces.
Xia Lu hurriedly looked away again.
Soon, all he could see was pupil-devouring.
Countless pupil-devouring pupils had already surrounded him, and he couldn't do it without looking at it.
Xia Lu hurriedly closed his eyes.
Han Xiao in front seemed to sense his embarrassment at this time, and turned around and said, "Looking for something to divert your attention, the pupil needs to be noticed to be effective for people." ”
"Even if you see it, as long as the attention is no longer on it, it will not be able to absorb your mental power."
Attention?
Xia Lu was slightly stunned.
Could it be that this thing still has a quantum effect, and only changes its state when it is noticed?
Xia Lu opened his eyes and wandered around, looking for a place to divert his attention.
Soon, his eyes locked on something.
Han Xiao's clothes had been torn, and the cracked place of the lower skirt faintly revealed the skin that could be torn by blowing.
