On the same night, directly below Sacrificial Altar.
Wow!
The heavy searchlight hanging at the end of the thickened steel cable had just submerged into the boiling water when it was violently slapped by an undercurrent of Berserk, and hit the slippery rock wall with a loud clang!
The incandescent beam of light swayed wildly in the black waves, and the engineers beside the reel quickly retracted the rope in fear. The metal explosion-proof shield that was hung up had been dented and cracked, and corrosive white smoke was rising from the gaps.
"Fuck... where is this spring? Is there a high-pressure water cannon underneath?!"
[Thunder King] Squatting on the edge of the broken beam, scanning for a moment with the help of lightning, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down the iron hand of the craftsman who was about to put the rope back on:
"Turn the light to the left! Stick to the sloping weathered rock crevice and don't throw it into the whirlpool in the middle!"
The searchlights cut through the sky again.
This time, the swaying main light spot slowly moved downwards against the shadow on the left edge of the crack, and finally penetrated the rolling water vapor, illuminating a long and narrow arc-shaped hole above the water line that was filled with sticky black dirt.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] knelt on one knee, lifted the scabbard of [Origin Fang] slightly in his hand, and pushed aside half of the dead cocoon hanging on the stone edge.
Half of the dark and deep ancient cave entrance was suddenly torn open!
The monstrous black slurry is being excreted crazily along a sloping stone trough. It hits the edge of the fracture due to the terrain, setting off a vicious wave that rises into the sky. At a glance, people mistakenly think it is a high-pressure spring emerging from the flat ground.
And the most important thing is--
The roof of the cave is not completely submerged by stagnant water!
There is a protruding ancient weathered stone beam on the inner wall on the left, several meters above the water, winding along the stone wall and sinking into the invisible depths of the night.
And on the surface of the hard and dry stone beam, there are still a few gray and white drag marks that are extremely fresh and even glowing with heat!
"Something big just climbed over here."
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Pulled the focus of Tactical Visor to the limit, and paused slightly on the messy claw marks with her fingertips:
"And... I walked in an extremely hasty manner, and the drag marks haven't been washed away by the water vapor."
Behind him, a Berserker player covered in blood could not wait to start unbuttoning his armor:
"Then why are you wasting your time! Brother Feng, let go of the rope! I stripped naked and only wore a whiteboard and jumped down to explore the path. If I die, I will change to a new hidden map. I will make a lot of money!!"
"Put your pants on tight for me!"
[Thunder King] Without looking back, the end of the staff in his hand was slightly raised, and he pointed angrily at the dry stone beam above the secret passage:
"You don't want to walk on the dry road, but you have to jump into a smelly ditch and take a bath to show off? Your brain was burned out by the acid?!"
Amidst the roar of laughter, a palm-sized advance micro-reconnaissance drone glided down from behind.
The light bionic rotor lowered the body, brushing against the hanging stalactites on the cave roof and swooping in. The search white light broke through the thick death fog like a scalpel.
The sound of water roared, the lens was constantly obscured by splashing black water, and First Regiment black spots appeared on the edge of the holographic screen, but the narrow weathered stone platform always stood steadily on the left side of the water.
However, less than thirty meters deep--
Click!!
Without any warning, a bloody mouth full of barbs popped out from the depths of the groove in the cave ceiling!
The camera rolled violently and was interrupted. The craftsman yanked the safety wire, but what he pulled back was only half of the broken wing, which was smoking and covered with tooth marks.
"Damn it! I just adjusted the gimbal!!"
Before the curses could even reach the ground, a black shadow on the top of the cantilevered beam tore through the sky like an arrow from a string!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Used a short jump to avoid the broken rock. He was like a swimming dragon and landed steadily on the convex rock step just discovered. He raised the knife with his backhand!
Tsk--!!
The dark Void was like a half-moon in the sky, and the Tier Two Parasitic Insect that came from top to bottom was cut in half by the volley on the spot!
Black blood spurted out, and he used the force of his sword to kick away the twitching corpse. He put the long sword into its sheath and shouted in a deep voice:
"The foothold is solid! The forwards slide down the rope, Mecha holds the upper retreat, the main force - follow me!!"
Wow!
Several alloy traction cables whizzed down from the broken beam.
Tower Shield, biochemical heavy spears and high-power tactical flashlights were released one by one. The players stepped firmly on the stone steps, took alternate cover, and quickly pulled out a steel defense line advancing along the underground river.
[Thunder King] First flutter its wings to slow down its fall, then step onto the stone beam and then gather Flight Wings.
And above the suspended stone beam further outside, [Tom Pie] was already flying past the wall like a ghost.
The bandage on his right shoulder that had just been bandaged began to ooze blood again under the strenuous exercise. He took a deep breath of the cold wind with strong dead air to suppress the burning pain of hunger surging deep in his stomach.
His eyes were locked firmly forward.
Those sticky drag marks... are quickly getting thicker and darker!
Half an hour later, the team bypassed the second right-angled blind spot in the dark underground canyon.
The terrain began to open up, and the cave walls suddenly opened to both sides.
Directly ahead, a majestic ancient rib arch spans both sides of the black water of Berserk. On the left is the narrow stone path for player infantry, and the ramp on the right... is wide and flat enough to accommodate several Heavy Assault Mechs running side by side!
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
Heavy steps like mountains were echoing on the main road on the right.
The light swept across, and first an ancient heavy stick several meters thick with mottled flesh and blood came into view.
Immediately afterwards, there was the iconic black broken thorn inserted diagonally into the left shoulder.
Ancient Warlord was also killed!
It followed a huge crack in the collapse of the upper floor and strode down the wide ramp of the old shell. As soon as it stepped onto the arch, the heavy stick in its hand slammed down with the force of thunder!
Boom!!
First Regiment The foul-smelling sarcoma lurking behind the stone gate was smashed to pieces on the spot. The two seven-meter-high Tier Three Ancient Guardian behind them lunged forward with a low roar, violently tearing the remaining Abyss roots from the dead shell outside the rock wall!
[Tom Pie] Passed by Warlord across a deep ditch of black water.
Warlord glanced sideways at him with his cloudy eyes, and a warning-like muffled thunderous roar escaped from the depths of his nose.
[Tom Pie] curled his lips and jumped onto the weathered stone beam higher on the left side with great intelligence:
"I know, I know. You always take the Yangguan Road. I will cross the single-plank bridge and never peek at you while you work."
Before he finished speaking, there were sudden bursts of intense and harsh tugging and crashing sounds from deep in the open cave ahead!
Boom! Boom! Bang!!
Accompanied by the dull sound of metal and bones colliding, a strong and pungent smell hit his face.
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Pressing with one hand, the light of the searchlight behind you is instantly reduced to the lowest level.
Stepping through the ancient arch, the view suddenly opens up.
It was a giant Underground Trough Chamber that sank in a staircase shape!
Several strands of turbid light yellow liquid seeped down from the old rock cracks above the head, poured down the drainage channel, and fell into the neatly arranged giant biochemical bone troughs.
However--
There are no cocoons of flesh all over the mountains and plains as everyone expected.
There are no densely packed Abyss guards.
The two outermost main tanks have long been empty, leaving only two huge black and purple depressions at the bottom of the tank; only the innermost giant tank is still overflowing crazily with extremely thick pure black death slurry!
[Thunder King] narrowed his eyes, raised his staff slightly, and his pupils suddenly shrank:
"Look... look at that water!!"
Looking along the light -
What poured down from the top of the head was clearly a turbid light yellow liquid!
However, the moment the muddy yellow liquid washed over a strange dark stone that was half-immersed in the bottom of the tank -
Zhila!!
Countless strange black threads, ten thousand times deeper than ink, spread crazily and peeled off from the surface of the strange rock as if they were alive!
The filaments rapidly spread, expand, and assimilate in the water flow!
In just half a second, the entire flow of water turned into a monstrous black wave filled with a terrifying death aura, roaring into the slurry outlet, pouring all the way to the Black Pool surrounding the Sacrificial Altar that the people on the surface had just captured!!
On top of the sorghum, [Tom Pie] dug his hands into the cracks in the stone, and his breathing suddenly became heavy!
This is the taste!
This cold and biting atmosphere of death, with strong decay and nothingness...
The piece of "Oblivion Black Spring" that transformed him into a half-human, half-ghost monster, and
Every time he uses [Corrosion Claw], the power of Berserk surges through his body...
It's so similar to the smell emitted by the rotten stone in the trough!!
The thing was only one meter square and a palm thick. Its surface was covered with weathered and blackened stinky old dirt, and the center was raised high. At first glance, it looked like a piece of rotten armor that had been pried off the body of a god.
It has no eyes, ears, mouth or nose, and no signs of movement.
But as long as it is soaked in water... the turbid water flowing through this tank will turn into a poisonous slurry like this Abyss!!
"Don't come so close to touch me!!"
[Tom Pie] gritted his teeth and roared in the channel, with bloodshot eyes gushing. "That black stone... is really poisonous!!"
Before he finished speaking, a dozen Tier-Two Kin on the edge of the inner tank suddenly exerted force, and the cables on the back armor suddenly straightened!
Boom!!
The jet-black boulder exuding the aura of evil and death was forcibly lifted out of the water tank together with the supporting board underneath, and the sticky black slurry crashed onto the water like a rain curtain!
The turbid current that had lost its soaking source washed through the empty bottom of the tank, and after the accumulated silt was washed away, the color of the water flow... actually, in front of everyone, at a speed visible to the naked eye, layer by layer, it degraded from thick black to light yellow!!
There was a bang in everyone's mind!
The source... was pulled out!
Rumble, rumble--!!
And behind the evacuated stone trough, a huge beast lying in the shadow slowly raised its terrifying mountain-like body from the rocks!
The body length exceeds twenty meters!
Six heavy-loaded load-bearing limbs as thick as divine pillars crushed the old shell, and the flat and wide carapace opened outwards. On its back like a land battleship, a heavy-duty bone storage tank more than ten meters long was fixed with thick ropes!
And in that bone trough...
Two dark boulders that also exude a strong death aura have been fixed by the deck!!
The third piece of black stone that had just been lifted suddenly slid into the groove under the pull of the pulley group. With a dull impact, it got stuck in the last empty seat!
[Calamity Kin·Abyss-Eroded Hauler(LV.73, Tier Three)]!
Dozens of small Kinfolk climbed up its back like worker ants, frantically dragging the two heavy covers and applying bone glue to the joints! And behind them, a wide and gentle slope diagonally toward the back of the hole, an escape door had been blown open!
Tier-Two Kins let out anxious and sharp screams, biting off the cables, dragging away the brackets, desperately clearing the way forward, and urging the giant transporting beast to advance towards the slope!
"Grass!!"
[Thunder King] The hair all over his body exploded, and the staff in his hand flashed with lightning:
"The old nest on the surface of the earth has been overturned. These grandsons... are 'packing up and moving' the core pollution source!!"
Sacrificial Altar It's nothing if it's gone!
Just transport these three black stones to the next geomantic treasure land with underground water system, find a pit and throw it in...
I'm afraid it won't be long before another terrifying Black Pool appears!!
[Tom Pie] Veins popped out of the corners of his eyes, and he raised his hand to mark the rear retreat channel he just photographed on the shared map:
"There is a secret passage at the end of the slope! They will clear the way soon!!"
Zheng--!
The long sword is unsheathed, and the dragon's roar shakes the sky!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Standing on the top of the violent current, pointing the long knife at an angle, the only thing in his eyes is the cold murderous intention of burning all things:
"Heavy Bone Gun to clear out the flanking engineers!"
"That big guy carrying the coffin..."
He turned his head and looked at [Thunder King], who was beside him with lightning flashing, and a cruel curve appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Leave it to us!!"
[Thunder King] laughed wildly, and a dazzling pure white Thunderstorm at the tip of the staff suddenly collapsed:
"Okay! Remove its two legs first!!"
Boom----!!!!
Heavenly Punishment Crazy thunder tears apart the dark underground ancient temple!
The giant beast, which had just raised its left front foot and prepared to embark on the road of escape, received a huge blow Thunderstorm, and its huge body tilted violently to the side!
Almost at the same millisecond, a jet-black blade shredded the plasma, and the long blade, like the blade of Heavenly Punishment, crashed into the deep armor seam on the side of its front ankle!
Black blood spurted out, staining the sky red!
[Vanguard Across the Realm] Trampled the rolled carapace with both feet, pressed the knife with both hands, raised his head to face the giant beast's frightened and desperate eyes, and his cold voice was like the death sentence:
"Want to change places to continue causing trouble?"
"Have you asked me about the knife in my hand!!"
Behind him, hundreds of armor-piercing heavy guns roared in unison, sealing the entire sky in a fire net within this square inch!
