Chapter 114: The Secret in the Rock Paintings, Heavy Firepower Takes the Lead [Seeking Pursuit II.]
When he said this, the two women breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Chen Xuan sat up, he didn't feel any weakness or discomfort.
It's just that the stomach is hungry and needs to be replenished with food and water quickly.
Without delay, he took out the protein bar and compressed biscuits from the storage compartment.
On the vitamin energy drink, I munched on at least ten servings of food.
Whenever his stomach bulged slightly, it would quickly subside.
It's like the stomach has become a furnace that can digest all the food!
Until the craving for food emitted by the body is gone, and the ground is already piled with oiled paper packages.
Chen Xuan gathered them together and directly burned them to ashes with a [Burst Fireball].
"You guys take a break, too."
"I'll leave when I'm done checking the petroglyphs and slates."
As he spoke, he took out another gas mask and handed it to Rebecca for backup.
He got up and walked to the petroglyphs.
There are four petroglyphs in the ancient sacrificial ground, and the painting technique is quite abstract.
It's like a schoolboy scribbling with chalk.
The first petroglyphs depict a number of stick figures kneeling on the ground, the sky blackened by charcoal.
There is a white space in the east that looks like the sun.
Chen Xuan stared and activated [Insight] to obtain additional supplementary information.
[At the beginning of the day, everything is as usual, and the intelligent beings worship the sun that gives light and heat]
……
The notes are simple, but there's not a lot of information to be learned.
Chen Xuan took the shooting as usual for the record.
He has bought a new phone for his daily use and communication.
This mobile phone usually doesn't connect to the Internet, and even the WIFI at home is turned off.
As a popular mobile phone that sold millions of units in the same year.
Chen Xuan placed a random order to buy it in a certain east.
He doesn't think that only his mobile phone is equipped with black technology that can automatically crack and connect to the Internet.
If there is, then there is.
Anyway, he will always put it in the storage compartment in the blue star.
If there is really black technology, it can break through the space blockade of the gold finger storage compartment and send a message.
Then don't want this golden finger.
With this probability, he can even buy a lottery ticket and bet on who is the child of destiny between the director and him.
Chen Xuan didn't think about buying a special camera, but in fact, it is not as convenient as a mobile phone.
It integrates a variety of handy features.
Shaking his head, he dismissed these cranky thoughts, and then looked at the second petroglyph.
The background of the petroglyph remained largely unchanged, except for a small white spot near the sun.
The stick figure figures below are of different shapes, looking a little flustered and frightened.
[The dark sun is coming, the magic power meets the world, the rhythm of the celestial sphere changes, the creatures are frightened and uneasy, and it is suspected to be destroyed]
……
"The dark sun..."
"In that case, the great sun is the current dawn."
Chen Xuan muttered to himself and photographed the petroglyphs again.
He could already tell that the petroglyphs depicted the world of Naloa.
But why are they in the ancient sacrificial grounds of monsters?
And as far as he knew, Naroa was now just a continent, surrounded by impenetrable barriers.
In other words, that's not all there is to the world right now!
So do the petroglyphs depict the world outside?
Or the so-called primordial age?
Chen Xuan pondered in his heart, even if he had a guess, the mystery still came one after another.
The more you know, the more you know, the more you can be confused.
Suppressing his thirst for knowledge, he looked at the third petroglyph.
It's still the same background as the previous two, except that there are two more moons to the north.
The stick figure figure on the ground is fighting monsters like crazy.
Since the lines drawn were relatively simple, Chen Xuan couldn't tell what kind of monsters those were all.
Anyway, it's basically all unrelated to the human form.
After a little fixation, [Insight] activates and the golden subtitles appear.
[The Grey Moon and the Green Moon descend, bringing calamity, chaotic magic, and manic demonic descendants]
……
Chen Xuan was silent, the Gray Moon and the Green Moon happened to be the two of the three moons in the Naroa sky.
Their presence brings calamity, disordered magic, and demonborn.
Are the so-called Demon Descendants the monsters that are pouring out of these caves today?
Or is it something more terrifying?
While thinking, he took a number of photos of the petroglyphs.
Before I knew it, I walked to the last petroglyph.
The composition of this petroglyph is depressing.
The land was heavily blackened, and only about one-seventh or eighth of the area remained.
A new moon hangs in the southwest, and the projected light envelops the areas that have not yet been blackened.
The huge key was stuck in the ground, and it was split in two, part of which was left in the area shrouded in the crescent.
There is also a triangular door in the corner of the composition, which is not very eye-catching but has another sense of oppression.
Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan conducted [Insight] again.
[The silver moon appears, it echoes with the magic power, and constructs the only pure place, the key is divided into two, and the servants of the door are noisy and roaring]
……
"The key is split in two..."
He muttered, reaching out and touching his forehead
If the key in the petroglyph is the Key of the Rose.
Wouldn't that just so happen he had a share, and the monsters also had a share of the passage?
In fact, among the Naroa natives, Chen Xuan did not find any record of the Rose Key.
On the contrary, there is a lot of information about the monsters.
If the petroglyphs are all true, then the current continent of Naroa is likely to be the "pure land" enclosed by the silver moon.
Cultures, on the other hand, are forgotten and evolve over hundreds of years, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.
Even if there is a great devastation, as long as the time is long enough, a new civilization will sprout.
The old past will be buried.
This situation can be called a fault line in civilization.
A realization arose in his heart.
After preserving the images of the four petroglyphs, he walked over to the two stone slabs next to the altar and looked at them.
Each slab is not large, about a square with a side length of more than 20 centimeters.
One of them was inscribed with only an unknown message, and the font was large, like some kind of title.
The other has four paragraphs of information depicted in unknown text, in a smaller font, which should be the main text.
Chen Xuan swept over the two stone slabs separately, with a sudden expression on his face.
【To the door to offer the last purity】
……
[The conviction of the heirs of the magic power, the gate of all sources will eventually be opened, and a new era is coming]
……
Clearly, the invasion of the monsters involved a piece of the original secret of the world of Naroa.
The door plays an unknown role in it,
If the dark sun brings magic, the gray moon and the green moon bring the demons.
Then the silver moon, the gate of all sources, and the key to the rose that followed must have been the key to the current situation.
Subconsciously touched his forehead again, and Chen Xuan's eyes became deep.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he suddenly found that the current Naroa continent was actually an "isolated island", and this sense of contrast still made him a little unable to let go.
In this way, those natural disaster areas are themselves a kind of forced isolation.
And the real world of Naloa is probably a supergiant planet.
This is easy to understand, even in the universe that Blue Star has observed, there are many supergiant planets.
Some planets are even comparable to the sun of the blue star.
And this sun in the solar system is 1.3 million times the size of the blue star.
The size of the stars is even more.
Rubbing his slightly swollen temples, Chen Xuan sighed leisurely.
It's a different world with a story!
"Let's go!"
He put back on his gas mask.
This is just a replica of the Cavern, which will be destroyed with the fall of the Cave.
Whether it is a slate or a petroglyph, it has no value other than the information attached to it.
You don't need to go out of your way to remove the traces.
If those slate slabs are taken out and placed in the market, they may be able to deceive some wrongdoers.
Anyway, the Naroa natives can't read the unknown script.
At least no one in Magdam could read it, and there was no doubt that some scholars on the mainland had deciphered it.
His current social hierarchy on the continent of Naroa is not enough to reach out to those deeper messages.
Therefore, I did not dare to guarantee that absolutely no one would be able to decipher these words.
The three of them left down the cave and returned to the three-way hall.
This time, Chen Xuan firmly walked into the cave passage leading to the core area.
……
Inside the hall of the core area of the cavern.
The secret door passage made of four magic pillars is shining.
It resembles an oval-shaped vortex, slowly rotating in a counterclockwise direction.
At this moment, the floor of this hall was full of blood-colored veins.
It's like a tree of flesh and blood has taken root here.
Directly in front of the secret doorway, there is a huge eyeball that uses itself as a carrier, extending countless flesh and blood veins.
They wrapped around the pillar and spread along the pillar to the ground.
Another seven or eight tentacles with eyeballs embedded in the ends were waving unconsciously.
These tentacles are peculiar and can be separated from the Eye Demon's body at any time.
In addition to this, there are seven or eight arm-thick vines on the four walls.
Each vine was covered with a myriad of fangs and sharp mouths that opened and closed.
Gray-white, like a puddle of mud, wandering around, the total number of monsters reached more than twenty.
There were also two blood-colored mutant minotaurs holding bone clubs aloof, staring indifferently at the entrance of the passage.
These are all the remaining monsters in the core area of the cavern.
As the magic pillars were destroyed and dismantled, the chaotic magic that had originally gathered in the core area, as if it was viscous and about to liquefy, quickly thinned.
The cave has a self-protection mechanism when an alien creature breaks in.
Monsters stationed on the periphery will attack uncontrollably.
The Eye Demon knew that the intruders had taken advantage of this, destroying hundreds of monsters on the outskirts of the cave.
But it doesn't matter, it's the core that's the real good!
And as long as the opponent tries to destroy the magic pillar in the core area, then the new mechanism will be touched.
More powerful monsters will respond to the call.
The Evil Eye Demon Shuma Goras stared ahead with his bloodshot pupils.
The previous plan to capture the demon seed failed, and Sophie, a heart-peeling succubus, was killed in battle.
In order not to affect the generation of the secret door passage, it did not hesitate to link itself to the magic pillar to deliver nutrients to it.
He also used all the sacrifices he collected these days to sacrifice in exchange for new power.
Just to condense a new demon seed.
The rhythm of multiple demon seeds at all times, absorbing free magic power to supply the normal operation of the cave.
This is the orthodox "recyclable" model.
But there is no way, the plan can never catch up with the change.
The Eye Demon Shuma Goras can only do his best to maintain it at the cost of flesh and blood!
Its people were waiting for news of victory.
On the western front, the area around Magdam City will be one of the many breakthroughs in the future.
This is a joint decision issued by the demon lords not long ago.
Against the last pure land of the Naroa Continent, the most powerful attack of the Great Demon Descendants is about to begin.
The descendants of the magic will surely ingest enough sacrifices to piece together the outline of a new era for the Gate of Ten Thousand Sources.
And they will be blessed with boundless bounty!
The door will grant them everything.
At that time, the world will be painless, disaster-free, and all the demons will be able to suck the magic to their heart's content.
In no more than a year of Naroa at the latest, the real secret doors will bloom everywhere!
"Marlon Kirkaga, Darth Kirkaga!"
Shuma Goras's voice echoed through the core.
The two sturdy blood-colored bull heads spewed out two heavy breaths in response.
"Be sure to keep the secret passage at all costs!"
"Be prepared to dedicate your life when necessary."
"I will use my tentacles to look for opportunities to parasitize evil intentions!"
The Eye Demon commanded word by word in the Demon Descendant.
The two minotaurs patted their chests.
"Moo!"
Later, the Eye Demon Shuma Golas gave orders to the Dreadvines and Wanderers.
They are ready to defend the core area.
This is where the cave is truly the essence.
The magic pillars in other regions were derived later.
As long as the core area is not destroyed, the cave will not be destroyed, and it will be restored quickly in the future as long as there are sacrifices.
There are more Naroa adventurers than locusts, and it's endless!
So they have to stay here, there is no way back, only death!
……
"It's a long passage, but it's much wider than the previous one!"
Chen Xuan carried the CG4 recoilless cannon and said critically.
This passage extends into the belly of the mountain.
He had just prepared two CG4 recoilless guns that could be fired at any time.
Loaded with one HEDP 502 high-explosive dual-purpose shell and one HEAT 551 armor-piercing round.
The former is mainly used for soft killing, and the armor-piercing depth of homogeneous steel plate is 150 mm.
The latter is mainly aimed at armored units, and the depth of armor-piercing can reach about 500 mm.
He had previously test-fired the HEDP 502 high-explosive dual-purpose bomb in Ratster Alley, and with just one shot, he bombed the cat-eared thugs into the sky along with the hut.
Far more powerful than grenades and broadsword mines, it is the strongest firearm in his hands so far.
He was ready to fire a HEDP 502 high-explosive dual-purpose bomb into the core of the cavern.
Anyway, the fragments of the Demon Seed and the Key of the Rose couldn't be broken, and he didn't care about anything else.
The strength of the Cavern is still very reliable until the pillars are destroyed.
Belial drank a second-order [Swiftness Elixir] and [Magic Essence Replenishment Elixir].
This caused her feet to ripple with air as she walked, and at the same time, the depleted magic essence in her body was slowly recovering.
Rebecca also drank the same potion, and she also held a second-order [Fire Rain Spell Scroll] in her hand.
Ready to be activated after the owner fires a high-explosive projectile.
In the next cave battle, you don't need to leave your hands at all, just go inside to greet all the hard work!
The cave was about 200 meters long, and it was estimated that it would take them underground in the belly of the mountain.
Moreover, the monster caves are not natural terrain, they can build and grow on their own like tumors of the earth, so all kinds of bells and whistles terrain are born!
After walking for several minutes, the master and servant saw the end of the passage.
There was a dark red halo there, as if a blood-red lantern had been lit.
But Chen Xuan knew that monsters definitely didn't have such a thing as a lantern.
Alien light is a sign of danger.
The three of them cautiously came to the right place.
In the hall in the core area, those monsters are also waiting for them.
Compared to the nimble Chen someone, these guys have no choice but to stick here.
Chen Xuan took the little cat lady and Belial to further approach the entrance of the passage.
He tried to activate Insight, but he didn't expect to have additional information available here.
[In the core area of the cave here, there are many monsters of the third order and above waiting for your visit]
……
They made such a fuss that it was impossible to say that the cave monsters didn't notice it.
Chen Xuan saw this line of subtitle prompts, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
At the same time, he also tried to activate his spatial sensing ability, but to no avail.
The core area in front of you is like a black box.
I'm afraid that only after destroying it will his [Same-Domain Flash] and subordinate abilities take effect there.
After a brief observation, Chen Xuan stopped.
The current stop is less than 20 meters from the entrance of the passage.
It's almost time for an early attack.
"Don't rush in later."
"There's a lot of monsters in there."
"Beware of possible eye demons."
"It's on page 397 of the Naroa Monster Weakness Guide."
The kitten nodded seriously, but Beria looked confused.
Chen Xuan patted his head, he almost forgot that Beria was from Zerikan, and he didn't have the habit of reading the "Naroa Monster Weakness Guide".
He added.
"It's probably a big eyeball."
"But it seems that the variety of the Eye Demon here is different from what is recorded in the illustrated book."
Beria understood this time and nodded.
Isn't it just a big-eyed ball?
Chen Xuan remembered the record in the illustrated book, it was only an eye demon, not an evil eye demon.
And the Eye Demon in the Pokédex doesn't have the ability to parasitize!
He estimated that the Eye Demon here was definitely a mutant variety.
After the admonition, he stopped inking.
It's time for these monsters to feel a "friendly" greeting from another world.
He was carrying a CG recoilless gun, which was similar in shape to a bazooka.
It's just that the structure is more complex, with a more advanced gas guide structure at the end,
The tail flame of a projectile can be converted into a reaction force that counteracts most of the recoil when fired.
After Chen Xuan finished preparing, he knelt on one knee and locked the passage in front of him with his sight.
Turn on the cutout switch and press the firing trigger.
The projectile emits a stream of flames, and when it is disemboweled, the tail is extended and shot into the tunnel.
At this moment, those monsters are still waiting for the enemy to enter the urn.
The two Scarlet Minotaurs stood in front of the Eye Demon, ready for a bloody battle.
This is the so-called cognitive bias, and there is no long-range high-explosive weapon in the concept of monsters.
And the magic that can achieve a similar effect all have obvious elemental magic fluctuations.
But this is at the heart of the Cavern's chaotic magic, and Naroa's spellcasters will be severely disrupted.
Therefore, it is the best choice to wait for the rabbit.
The Scarlet Minotaur's physique can only be described as terrifying.
They can resist the silver-level giant crossbows of the three Naroa natives, and they can be said to be the strongest avant-garde in the [medium] type cave!
At this moment, the two blood-colored minotaurs were blocking the front like two iron gates.
A large number of Wanderers swam around at their feet.
The vines of dread crawled like snakes, and they all gathered on both sides of the rock walls of the passage.
The monsters have woven an invisible web!
At this moment, an orange light flashed in the passage.
Then a cone-shaped object spewed orange flames, and in an instant, it shot into the cavern.
It hit one of the Scarlet Minotaurs impartially.
The steely body burst into chaos in an instant.
"Moo!"
It let out a howl of pain.
A violent explosion ensued!
The high-explosive charge released a powerful amount of energy, and heat and light swept out first.
This was followed by lethal metal fragments and jets!
The blood-colored minotaur that stood in front of the HEDP 502 high-explosive dual-purpose bomb flew upside down.
It slammed directly into the body of Shuma Golas, the evil eye demon in the rear.
The heavy magic of chaos quickly annihilated.
The power of high-explosive shells is not comparable to the simple 5.56 bullets of dozens or hundreds.
Bearing the brunt of the blow, the minotaur was quickly broken.
The jets of metal slammed into its hard body, tearing a large hole in its chest.
It's as if a concrete barrier is missing a chunk.
The heart shattered instantly, and its corpse slipped feebly with the Eye Demon.
The coverage of the explosion was not small, and all kinds of shrapnel and shock waves swept out in all directions.
The creatures were all swept away, but their bodies were special.
If the Headless Stone Demon is a rock body, then the Wandering Monster is a mud body.
Different bodies have different physical damage tolerances.
But the vine of fear was not so lucky.
They are clustered on both sides of the passage, very close to the burst.
Flying shrapnel quickly drained their chaotic magic.
Two of the Dreadweed Vines suffered an overdose of shrapnel and broke their defenses on the spot.
Pale green pulp bursts everywhere.
The smoke cleared, and the roar of the explosion continued to spread farther along the rock wall of the mountain.
The Evil Eye Demon Shuma Goras was stunned.
The other blood-colored minotaur's originally vicious expression also became a little confused.
The shock of this high-intensity attack beyond cognition is huge.
Before they could react.
Another orange light flashed through the passage.
The surviving Scarlet Minotaur spread his hooves and ran to the side.
Exposed the Eye Demon and the Pillar Passage in the center!
The Eye Demon couldn't move, and in panic, his big eyes flashed red.
……
Typo message. At the small plot node of Magdan City, the colchicum merchant group is partially over, and it is time to return to reality and establish an overseas base.
