It's been a long time since Hao Ren has seen this kind of monster with a story in the dream plane - the last time he saw it was when Nasatone was solving the Siren problem, when a brain monster occupied the city of the deep sea and had a spiritual exchange with the Siren Queen, Hao Ren and his party took a lot of effort to capture the monster alive, but in the end, the monster escaped the strict monitoring on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform by uploading its consciousness, which made Hao Ren regret it for a long time.Since then, he has never seen such terrifying creatures mutated from the brains of guardian giants, whether they are on the deserted planets of the dream plane or in the vast expanse of space, these monsters seem to have disappeared out of thin air.He didn't expect to see them again—or one of them—here, on the planet Amantil, ruled by the mad minions.Vivien's shadow canopy was a smart move, and under the cover of powerful magic, the brain monster in the room was not aware of the strange aura above it for the time being, it just crawled on the circular metal pedestal like a mollusk, connecting its tentacles (actually nerve cords) to the holes around the pedestal, and muttering muttering mutters like squirming like ooze as it gave commands to the various devices in the room.If it weren't for knowing the origin of these monsters in advance, I'm afraid no one would associate this terrifying mass of flesh with the race of guardian giants."
It didn't notice us," Nangong Sanba quickly retreated after glancing at it, "The sound this thing makes is disgusting......
Don't tell me it's a popular new song in the Corrupt Legion. ”"Brain monsters are one of the most intelligent creatures of madness," Vivien frowned, "Could it be that these are the ones behind those monsters?"
”"You're saying this planet is actually the lair of the Brain Monster?"
Lily blinked, "Not necessarily, we only saw one, maybe it's just that there is such a brain monster in the corrupted monster here......"
"No, it shouldn't be the only one," Hao Ren noticed the details in the room and retorted loudly, "Notice those devices?"
And the pedestal - those devices have biochemical interfaces that can be directly connected to the neural cords of the brain monsters, and there are no other control panels in sight except for those interfaces, which means that these devices are specially prepared for the brain monsters, and there are no other controllers.If the Brain Monster was just an inconspicuous individual in the Corrupted Legion, there should be no need to prepare such a large number of special equipment for it, and there should be no way for others to use it. ”He also said, "What if it's the head of the place?"
”Hao Ren thought about it and had to admit that this was also possible: "This may also be possible......
It's up to us to see if we can find more brain monsters in the future. ”Lily bared her teeth in the direction of the floor, "What about the one down there?"
Do you want to kill it?
”Hao Ren pondered it carefully and shook his head: "Don't make any extraneous branches-don't forget the various special abilities of the brain monster in the spiritual realm, it may be able to directly warn the outside world through thought waves, in case we don't kill it in the first place, it will be a big trouble, this thing can't be captured or forced to confess, it's not worth it." ”The others agreed, and Lily could only sigh in disappointment, obediently following Hao Ren and continuing with the team deeper into the underground facility.Thirty minutes later, they successfully passed through the outer area of the Grand Temple, and officially entered the underground area of the Temple area.This point is within the confines of the building where the control center is located, but the entire control center of the planetary fortress is a rather large facility - it includes a huge above-ground temple like the Tower of Babel and an underground structure that is considered an underground city, and its underground part is even larger than the above-ground part.When Hao Ren and his entourage were in Nakdal, they were led by goblins, and they went straight to the computer room in a straight line through the upper and lower passages, which was naturally convenient and fast, but here, they had to go around the entire facility along the intricate pipeline system in the underground facilities, and their speed of action was greatly reduced."
There is news from Salamatan, the sporadic firefights in space have also ended, and now the Guardian Legion and the Drone Legion have retreated to their predetermined positions and confronted the Amantil defense circle," Hao Ren whispered, "In the next time, some of the defenders of Amantil will retreat into the planet's atmosphere, and the defense forces outside will be strengthened as a result, so we must be more careful in our actions." ”Nangong Sanba looked at the dimly lit passage in front of him, the unchanging monotonous and depressing environment here made people very uncomfortable, and greatly consumed everyone's patience, even he was a little impatient: "Where are we now?"
”The data terminal projected a holographic map showing the route provided by Salaman, and in the center of the map was a light blue pillar of light representing the Amantir Crystal, and everyone was now above the side of the light blue pillar, surrounded by intricate obstacles: "The straight-line distance from the Amantir Crystal is two kilometers - but considering the endless pipes and corridors, the distance we really have to walk is more than ten times this distance." ”Of course, you can't go in a straight line to sneak in from the pipe, in fact, the route of Hao Ren and his party almost goes around the entire underground area half a circle - they enter from the south of the Great Temple, and then follow a roughly spiral downward arc to turn half a circle underground, and there is even a section of the route in the middle that is close to the Great Equatorial Rift Valley, and finally enter the computer room where the crystals are stored from the northern entrance of the temple's underground, this route is theoretically the safest way.Nangong Sanba sighed: "Alas......
I can only keep walking......"
After continuing to walk along the road map for some distance, Lily stopped a little puzzled: "Do you feel it......
Seems a little hot here?
”Not only did she feel it, but in fact Hao Ren also noticed it: the temperature around her seemed to rise."
We are on the edge of the Great Rift Valley," Hao Ren glanced at the road map, and a striking red crack on the road map "cut" nearly a third of the originally intact underground facilities, "It should be the heat of the Great Rift Valley that has been transferred in." ”The facts soon proved Hao Ren's inference.Not long after the walk, the restless heat flow in the surrounding air had turned into a noticeable heat wave, and there were obvious signs of post-repair on the pipes along the way, and even unexpected forks and gates in some parts of the road map that were not marked on the road map: these things were the result of reconstruction.Apparently, after the equatorial region of Amantyr was torn apart, the planet's Corruptor defenders completely repaired and remodeled the area, after which the road map provided by Salamatan could no longer be used."
The underground facilities are obviously not completely closed, otherwise the heat wave would not have come in," Itzhax sniffled, a look of disgust on his face, "compared to the air quality in my hometown, the smell of sulfur is not pure at all." ”Hao Ren glanced at him with disdain: "Don't mention the air quality, the air quality in your hometown started with three lung cancers on ordinary people." ”As they spoke, they arrived at a fork in the road, which was completely unmarked on the road map, and it was up to their personal judgment to move on.Lily cocked her tail and dangled it in mid-air, looking in the direction of the fluff fluttering on the tip of her tail: "That's where the air is blowing - shall we go and see?"
”The husky girl was referring to the general direction of the original route, so Hao Ren nodded in agreement.Following the direction of the scorching airflow, they found themselves gradually disengaged from the ventilation duct system.The road ahead was widening, and there were several sluice gates that appeared to be abandoned, and the lights on both sides were turned off, all signs of an ancient passage that had been in use, but was now abandoned.Hao Ren's vision widened.“…… This place ......"
Nangong May hugged her arms and poked her tail uneasily on the ground, "I feel like I'm starting to evaporate!"
”After coming out of the last gate, the open space outside was directly connected to the Great Equatorial Rift Valley!
A blinding red light filled the field of vision, and it was only after the eyes adjusted to the light that the scene outside gradually became clearer.Hao Ren found that the outside of the gate was connected to a wide metal platform, and the metal platform itself was built directly on the fractured rock formation, which was constantly tumbling under the impetus of the great chaotic force of the platform, and on both sides of the platform, the burned red rock wall was full of exposed mechanical structures and pipes, platforms, beams, and gates, and these facilities extended almost along the cliff to "Pay attention to concealment!"
”Nangong Sanba suddenly shouted in a low voice, and almost at the same time, Vivien's shadow canopy once again shrouded everyone.With the help of the shadow canopy, everyone hid in a depression at the edge of the platform, and a group of hideous and twisted flesh monsters flew over the platform in the next second.The flesh monsters didn't seem to be a patrol party, but soldiers who had just been "created" out of the Rift, screaming in chaos and shoving into the sky, completely unaware of the few tiny intruders hiding under their noses.Hao Ren's gaze cast into the distance, and in this vast rift, more monsters were being created from the lava-surging rift: although it was much less than the overwhelming tide of monsters pouring out of the rift during the previous battle, it was still a palpitating phenomenon.Lily couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "Not really......
Could it be that they 'made' the soldiers directly out of magma?
”With a wave of her hand, a small bat flew out of the shadows nearby and turned into a blood mist back into her, and she shook her head, "No......
The monster didn't come out of the magma, I probed it with a small bat, and Hao Ren frowned: "Summoning field?"
”Vivien didn't explain, but drew a few runes directly on the ground, so the scene that the little bat had seen before appeared above the runes: although it was far less clear than the holographic projection, it was still enough to distinguish.Everyone saw that at the bottom of the rift, near the source of the magma gushing, countless huge black platforms were neatly distributed along the cliffs, and the black platforms were painted with intricate symbols and patterns with dark red stripes, and the chaos presented by those lines even made Hao Ren feel dizzy.Every once in a while, the pattern on the black platform would light up, and then a distorted monster would slowly take shape in the air and fly into the sky ............
Damn ......"
Seeing this scene, Hao Ren couldn't help but burst into a rough outburst, "Is there any reason for such a violent soldier?"
”Lily glanced at him: "The guy who has produced 80 billion drones in four years is embarrassed to say that other people's riots are unreasonable?"
”Hao Ren: "......"
"These are not the most important things, the most important thing is next," Vivian interrupted the conversation between Hao Ren and Lily, signaling that there was a follow-up to this video, "You see, these platforms are actually connected ......"
Sure enough, as the little bat's perspective rose, everyone saw that the black platforms were not isolated from each other, they all extended a black, like a pipe, and those pipes all converged in the center of the magma river at the bottom of the rift, where there was a huge black metal tower, On the surface of the metal tower, there are several circles of protruding hemispherical structures, each of which has a monster lying on its stomach at this moment.That's a brain monster, more brain monsters.Amantil is indeed the lair of the brain monster!
