Chapter 860: Strange Fish in the Water

Bang bang bang ......

It was the sound of blood dripping to the ground, and a black and gray wolf lay limply on the ground. Although it did not die immediately, it was not far from death, and it could even feel the breath of death. There was a huge wound in its belly, so big that it almost cut it open. The blood and the intestines flowed all over the ground, through the cracks in the dark earth, and then down a small slope to the bottom, and the sound of water dropping.

In the wolf's gradually cloudy eyes, there was a figure of a man. He was holding his master's throat with one hand, lifting his usually sturdy master high. The wolf couldn't understand how a person could have such a powerful force.

The man was Albert, and he looked at the knight and felt the burning gaze in his eyes, which was full of anger, and there was not a trace of fear.

"Alien wretch!" Albert scolded, his thumb and forefinger crushing the Asak's cervical vertebrae before throwing the corpse to the ground. Turning around, there were the corpses of two wolf riders behind him, as well as the corpses of seven or eight other ordinary warriors. It's clearly a search and arrest team, and search teams like this are decreasing.

There was a roar of eagles in the sky, and after a few circles above him, a falcon suddenly swooped down and landed on Albert's shoulder. A small hollow woodpipe is tied to the falcon's leg. The plug of the woodpipe was pulled out, and a strip of paper rolled into strips slid out. It was opened, and there was only one sentence on it: he had entered the palatal door.

Behind it is a simple map with black lines showing Albert's route.

After reading it, Albert rubbed his hands and turned the woodpoles and paper into powder.

The falcon soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant. When it turned into a black dot, Albert smiled and quickly dived to the location indicated on the map, leaving the body far behind him. The falcon and the intelligence all came from the alien race named Silver, and Albert would love to have such a man to serve him. But at the same time, he didn't intend to make this silver too comfortable, so he deliberately left the communication terminal with Asmo in an obvious place.

When Silver appeared that night, Albert used the video recording function of the communication terminal to record the conversation between the two without a trace. When Ba Jin got the communication terminal, he was watching from a distance. If Ba Jin doesn't know how to use this thing, then he can also remotely control the terminal through a small device and turn it on. And afterwards, naturally, it can also be remotely controlled to explode the terminal.

Let some aliens know the Tao, but there is no direct evidence. This can lead to divisions within them, or even civil war. This little trick, Albert still knows how to use it.

He had calculated the time, and when he reached the so-called gate of the palatal teeth, it was almost time for infighting. At that time, he will naturally chase Zero, and as for what kind of things will be caused within the alien race because of his small means, Albert doesn't care.

Meanwhile, Zero and his own team have entered the door of the palatal tooth. The cave behind the door was dimly lit, and the temperature was a few degrees lower than outside, and the temperature difference was more obvious. And the further you go inside, the more humidity becomes. After leaving the gate for a few tens of meters, you can feel the terrain gradually extending downward. The equipment prepared for them by the black owl was still very sufficient, including searchlights and other tools, and with each of them in their hands, seven or eight pillars of light swept through the cave, illuminating the road ahead.

"It's almost seamed. Leah said, and after entering the Gate of the Palate Teeth, she activated the ability of spirit scanning, scanning the environment of the cave and teleporting the image to the minds of a few people through the psychic chain.

There were still dozens of meters away from the crack in the ground that the black owl said, and at this time, a lamppost hit the ground. There was a set of alien skeletons, a humanoid skull could be seen, but with four hollow eye sockets on the head. The next skeleton is a bit bizarre, with the upper body being a human and the lower body having only one vertebrae like a snake. The bony lobes at the end are flattened, resembling caudal fins.

I don't know how many years this fish-man-like skeleton has existed here, and the bones are pitch-black in color, and they feel as hard as iron when struck. And the part that sticks to the ground is connected to the ground by some kind of fungus. The further back you go, the more skeletons there are, and the rock walls on both sides of the ground and the cave show signs of slashing with knives and axes, as if a battle had taken place.

Of course, this battle probably took place a long time ago. Judging from the orientation of the fish-man skeleton, they came from the depths of the earth, that is, the original inhabitants of the Titan Hall in the abyss. Speaking of which, the Shadow Clan is also one of the original lifeforms of the Titan Hall, but they opened their wisdom and left the abyss again, so they became a branch of the alien race on the black earth.

And now, God knows how many original species like this are in the abyss.

In the blink of an eye, I came to the crack in the ground.

The crack in the ground was the end of the cavern, and when it arrived, the earth suddenly cracked a huge opening. Zero took the searchlight and looked down, and couldn't see anything at all. On the side of the nearby rock wall, you can also see the skeletons of several fishmen nailed to the top by long-handled weapons.

"Let's go. Zero said to the crowd.

Jin and the others took off the waterproof backpack behind them and took out a roll of safety rope from it. Fix one end of the safety rope to the ground with a tool, test the tension, and throw the rope into the crack. Those present are all capable people, and there is no need to put a safety harness on their bodies like ordinary human climbers. After confirming that the rope could be forced, Zero grabbed a rope and slid down, and the others followed suit.

Blade hunters are more convenient, they can climb anywhere, even the nearly 90-degree vertical wall of the crevice. These biological weapons have not been seriously damaged along the way, and there are still about a dozen. Like a giant gecko, they nimbly followed Zero and acted as guards, and at the same time quickly swam downward.

After a few moments, Zero shone down the control light pinned to his body, and he could already see a damp ground. The distance was only about ten meters, and he simply let go of the rope and jumped down. The ground is quite damp, and there is even standing water in some potholes. After a few sounds of breaking the air around them, Jin and the others also jumped to the ground. As for the safety ropes, they were left where they were, and they were still important tools when they had to go back.

Jin walked first with the light, and after a few steps, the pillar of light was cast on a piece of water. He was stunned for a moment, and the pillar of light swept back and forth, and found that it was a crypt lake all around, and their foothold was right on the shore of the lake. With Zero's pillar of light also hitting, coupled with Leah's spirit scanning, an underworld realm appeared in their eyes.

The lake is several hundred meters wide, with a crescent-shaped shore and a few ground platforms that rise from the rock pillars at the bottom of the lake. The surface of the lake is calm and unwavering, but from time to time there are ripples in circles, and there are some water marks passing by, and it is clear that there is life underwater. It's just that I don't know if these lives are dangerous aliens, or are they harmless ordinary animals?

"The black owl said that the passage to the Titan Hall is just below the lake. Jin and I will go down to find out the situation first, and you can wait here first. Zero said, then put down the waterproof back, and then took off the outer garment, revealing the close-fitting tactical suit. Kim did the same, and when the two of them came to the lake, they jumped into the water. The water is crystal clear, and the lights are shining, and many small creatures of the lake flash in the pillars of light.

The lake is not deep, no more than five meters at most. Pillars of light can reach the bottom of the lake, and you can see shellfish in the lake. Zero looked around, and the aquatic creatures passing through the pillar of light were obviously different from those in the outside world, and in this closed environment, they seemed to have undergone an independent evolutionary revolution. Both fish and shellfish are small, and the smallest of them is the size of a fingernail.

In this era when everything is developing towards a huge size, the life in the earth lake is the opposite, which seems to be related to their living environment. It is true that a larger body is capable of accommodating a greater amount of force, which is the cornerstone of survival. But at the same time, a huge body also means an equally huge consumption. But in an environment like an underground lake, there is obviously not enough food for them to consume in large quantities.

Therefore, the size of life is developing towards miniaturization, reducing consumption, and sometimes it also means living longer.

Kim gestured to Zero at this time, as if he had noticed something, and his lights frequently hit the left side of the front. Some dark caves could be faintly seen there, and Zero dived over, and the two of them swam for about ten minutes later. At the end of the lake, there are many deep caves in the rock wall, and even on the edge of these caves, there is no obvious change in the flow of water, which means that there is also a lake on the other side of the cave, and the water sources on both sides are connected, so there is no flow of water.

The walls of the cave are covered with a layer of green fungus, which will cover it even if it has the mark that the black owl said. The two of them only split up, tearing off the fungus coat from the rock wall with their hands, revealing the natural rock wall below. It didn't take long for Zero to find the sign that the black owl was talking about. Above one of the caverns, there was a dark pupil.

The moment he saw this pupil, Zero felt like he was being watched, as if there was a creature on the other side of the pupil staring at him. But as soon as this feeling passed, Zero didn't care. He used his lights to signal that he had found the entrance to the cave, and the two returned to the shore.

Landing on the shore, Zero said to everyone, "I found it, but I don't know how long the cave is." However, the black owl did not prepare us with diving tools, so the length of the cave should be limited. Prepare yourself, and then we'll get into the water together. ”

The others took off their coats, and Cayton said with an ugly expression, "I won't go with you." ”

The King of Fenri Wolves was obviously very disgusted with things like water, and Zero was not reluctant, pointing to the safety rope and smiling, "That help us take care of what we go back to." ”

"Don't worry, if anything dares to come close, I'll turn them all into ice sculptures. ”

Zero patted him on the shoulder, glanced at everyone and said, "Then let's go." ”

The others nodded, and one by one they all jumped into the water, and even the blade hunters slipped silently into the water. Watching the pillar of light on the surface of the lake go all the way away, Cayton suddenly felt a little bored.

It didn't take long for Zero to reach the end of the lake. He took a breath and then dived, followed by the crowd and swam to the cave where the pupil of darkness had been signified. The cave is spacious and capable of accommodating two to three people side by side. Zero let Kim scout the way in front, then Alice and the other women in the middle, he himself fell behind, and the Blade Hunter was free to disperse.

In a relatively confined space like a cave passage, the Blade Hunter was able to grasp the rock walls around him, but he swam much faster from zero. I don't know how long no one has passed through this passage, and it is covered with green fungus and moss, and it is very sticky to the touch. The blade hunter didn't care, and other people, especially women, didn't even want to touch it.

After swimming for a while, Zero began to notice that there was something more on the rock walls around him. It was a string of oval-shaped things glued to the rock wall, the surface covered with green fungus, and it was impossible to see what was inside. Something like this, the further you go in, the more you go, it's like an egg for something. These strange things made it impossible for the Blade Hunters to move forward as fast as they had just done, and they had to continue to dive in the water like Zero.

The first hunter stepped on the rock with both feet, and wanted to use his strength to return to the middle of the passage. The claws on his feet clawed some of the rounds, and immediately spat out a series of bubbles from the torn coat, apparently containing air. The hunter didn't care, and continued to move forward. And then something came out of the torn coat.

It's just that Zero has gone all the way, and in the dim light that the light is not up to, there is a rustling sound of gnawing.

The exit is in sight.

Kim had already seen the light in the distance, and he gestured a few times in the water with the searchlight in his hand to tell everyone that they were about to reach the exit. Then he turned around and swam faster, and the group's movements sped up a lot, and the hunter who swam behind the most was like he had found something. It stopped, floated in the water and looked back. There was a feeling of water rushing from the hunter's skin, but it was still now, so it shouldn't feel that way.

But the feeling grew stronger, almost like an army of Shui was approaching behind it. The hunter was unable to make a sound warning in the water, so he had to reach out his claws and catch the nearby rock wall. It's a pity that this place is also full of weird things. I was trying to rub against the rock wall to make a sharp noise to convey the message, but this claw scratched a lot of round, egg-like things.

Bubbles bubbled, and something came out of the cracked moss. The hunter looked, and through the afterglow of the fading light ahead, it saw a face like a human baby. It's just that this face is pitifully small, and it has four eyes on it. All eyes were still closed, and when the thing came out of the moss, it sniffed around, and then opened its mouth, revealing a row of small, sharp teeth, and tore at it.

Suddenly there was a pain in his foot, and the hunter looked down, but it was a monster the size of a kitten biting on its leg. It also has a human-like face, upper body, and hands. But the back of the waist looks like a fish's tail, and there are translucent soft fins on the back. The Blade Hunter slashed at the thing with its sharp claws, slashing it in half.

But half of the body is gone, and the little monster is not dead, but bites more fiercely, and has a tendency to burrow into the thighs of a hunter. The hunter had to nail two claws into its body and lift it up. When it comes to the eyes and looks closely, this thing bites very much. Four eyes showed a fierce light, and a mouth full of sharp teeth was bitten everywhere. The hunter didn't notice, the back half of the thing's body seemed to release too much blood as it sank into the cavern.

The sound of the water surging became louder and louder, and at the end it was as deafening as a waterfall rushing down a mountain stream. From the hunter's eyes, the face of another small monster appeared in the darkness, and then from the cave passage behind it, countless such monsters poured out. Each of them is not very large, only the size of a kitten. But there are so many of them that they wrap up the blade hunters like a school of piranhas.

The hunter counterattacks, but in the water its movements are greatly limited. Coupled with the large number of these little mermaid-like monsters, in a few moments, the hunter had already bitten off a large amount of flesh, and the little mermaid tore a hole in its eyes, mouth, and even directly into its body and drilled into it. They gnaw on the intestines and other organs inside the hunter's body, swallowing everything they can eat.

Apparently one hunter was not enough for them, the little mermaids began to swim towards the spot where the pillar of light was slicing in front of them.

By the time the hunter was attacked, Zero had sensed something was wrong. The sound of the huge flow of water seemed so unusual, followed by the blood floating in the water, and Zero immediately stopped. No matter what came from behind him, he couldn't let these guys through. Otherwise, the people in front will definitely be in a hurry. Even though he thought so, when he saw the figure of a group of little mermaids appearing in the pillar of light, Zero couldn't help frowning.

The little mermaids are fast, they are like evil spirits gushing out of hell. Only two thin arms were stretched out, and the mouth full of sharp teeth was wide open, and the four eyes on his face were full of fierce light, and he swarmed towards Zero. It's a pity that Zero is not a blade hunter, and his fingers are close together like knives, and he suddenly pulls them apart. As the water stirred, a golden ray of light swept out of the sky.

At first, it was just a thin one, but in an instant, it had turned into a golden wave!

Jin Tao flowed and blasted into the fish. The burst of powerful energy caused the fish in front of them to shrink back uncontrollably, and then the golden light burst in the fish, and in the light and flames, the violent energy jets continued to collide and explode, blowing up the forwards of the fish. Because he was afraid of causing other accidents in the cave, Zero only used the eighth-order force level.

It was a slashed version of the fate break, but even so, it devoured hundreds of these merfolk in an instant. The sound of the water subsided slightly, but soon, the sound was loud again, as if another wave of fish was approaching!
