Chapter 1617: Pillar Layer


Obviously, you can't be more real with the goblins - because they won't even realize that you're being real with them, and they won't understand what it means to be more real......

Therefore, Hao Ren and the others resolutely gave up asking why such important information could be forgotten, and instead inquired and understood the "nightmare lair" known to the goblins in more detail.Of course, it wasn't wise to stay in the ventilation ducts close to the core for too long, so they were asked about these things as they made their way to the deeper passages under the guidance of the elves.As the goblin said before, she doesn't know much about the Nightmare Lair.The elves that have survived are only a small fraction of the elves that have survived, and even those who have survived have a very limited range of activities - in order to survive, they have to merge with the Earth's core and build a powerful shield to completely isolate the outside world, so that while keeping them safe, they are also locked in a tight cage.Usually, the only way for goblins to perceive the outside world is the crystals buried all over the planet Amantil, these crystals have basically been polluted by the power of the Lord of Madness, or they have been destroyed by corrupted monsters as energy and resources, and less than one percent can still be used, and even if they can still be used, the goblins dare not activate these information channels too blatantly.They usually only use the narrow bandwidth generated by the crystal's spontaneous resonance to gather information on the "upper" area, and three or four of the crystal veins are located near the Amantir Crystal and the Nightmare Lair, which is the only way the elves have information about the terrifying land.In the goblin's messy narrative, Hao Ren learns that there was no underground space under the Amantir Crystal: before the fall of the planet, there was a dense and thick layer of rock under the control center, which went deep into the mantle, and below that was the "crystal pillar" and "grid" area that supported the entire planetary fortress, and that nightmare nest was created out of thin air after the collective "fall" of the guardian giants.It spawned shortly after the Great Equatorial Rift Valley was torn apart.Instead of being located directly below the Amantir Crystal, the Nightmare Lair is slightly offset to the south, allowing it to avoid the ripping zone of the Great Equatorial Rift Valley.The lair itself is an extremely large ellipsoidal area, wrapped in a layer of powerful and strange energy fields, and it is difficult for the elves to perceive the situation inside it, and can only roughly understand that it is a cavity area with a complex structure, and there are many monsters taking root in it.The Nightmare Lair is located right next to the Great Equatorial Rift, and a portion of the "contents" penetrate the energy barrier and extend to the bottom of the Great Rift, where the Corrupt Monsters have built a large number of facilities to take advantage of the structures that extend out, which is the "summoning platform" that Hao Ren and his party see.As for the goblin's repeated emphasis on the "big monster in the middle of the nightmare's lair" in the narrative, Hao Ren didn't figure out what it was until the end, and he could only generalize that it was an unprecedentedly powerful madness derivative, and that it possessed extraordinary spiritual and dream powers—which might even be close to the original Lochmaden.In order to create a steady stream of troops for Amantil, the monster was in a long slumber and weaved a vast nightmare that was projected into the real world through the extensions at the bottom of the Great Rift.There, a large number of brain monsters gather around a device known as the Nightmare Pillar, whose mission is to fall asleep with the "big monsters" in the nightmare lair and "pull" the monsters that are constantly spawning in the nightmare faster.And this whole process is closely related to the Amantir crystal.The goblins couldn't tell what the connection between the two was, but under the monitoring of the elves, it was possible to observe that the energy of the Amantir crystal was connected to the nightmare lair below, and there was a considerable exchange of information.This made Hao Ren feel quite uneasy.He was worried that the Amantir Crystal had been completely infected by the power of the Lord of Madness, and if that was the case, it was hard to say if it would be able to recombine with the other two crystals to form a Dao Mark."

Anyway, there are usually goblins like you who come up to do activities?"

In the passage to the deeper level, Hao Ren curiously asked the goblin who was floating above the data terminal in a holographic projection posture, "The breath we sensed at the beginning was you, right?"

”"We don't usually come out!"

The goblin immediately said, "The world above is full of those monsters, and if you come out, you may not be able to go back, and several goblins who came out to explore the way died like this—we only send an observer in a hundred years on average."

However, this time, one of the surveillance lines we set up in the upper area suddenly sensed a very strange energy fluctuation, and then I found that a group of reckless guys who had never seen before ran into the monsters' base, and I was sent out to check the situation. ”As she spoke, she straightened her chest: "Of course the aura you sensed before is me!"

I followed you for a long, long time, but you were so stupid that you never found out, and you ran recklessly to get the attention of the monster, and if I hadn't done it then, you would have died by this time. ”"Okay, thanks to you for saving our lives," Hao Ren said to the goblin with a grin, then looked up, "Anyway, where is the passage to your shelter?"

”At this time, everyone had been advancing in the underground area for a long time, and it can be seen from the map that they had long since left the underground part of the control center, and even entered an unmarked underground passage.The walls around it had unconsciously changed from metal to solid, strangely shimmering rock, and the rocks were inlaid with large and small glowing crystals, which made the entire passage appear bright enough without lighting, and the hum of the machinery could no longer be heard in the passage, which seemed to indicate that the team had moved away from the base complex full of mechanical equipment and into the more primitive depths of the planet.The little goblin's perception of the outside world now needs to use various sensing modules of the data terminal, although it is many times more sensitive and accurate than her original senses, but it is quite jerky to use because there is still a layer of data structure and proficiency in the middle, so it took a little time for Xiao Budian to complete the positioning in the strata: "Oh, we are already close to the crystal pillar layer, beyond the crystal pillar layer is the big grid, and then down is where the goblins are hiding - but we don't need to drill around in the crystal column layer and the big grid, There's a passage that goes directly to the sanctuary's ~~""What the sylphant layer and the big grid are?"

”Little Elizabeth asked curiously."

This planet was built by the Goddess of Creation, so it's not the same as a naturally formed planet," the goblin chirped as he explained, "The structure of the earth's crust, that is, the crystal pillar layer, there are many self-running energy units and ancient facilities, because they support the operation of the upper layer of the entire planet, so even those monsters dare not touch the things of the crystal pillar layer casually, and the large grid is the barrier between the crystal pillar layer and the earth's core, it is responsible for making the planet more stable, as well as coordinating the energy and information transmitted from each crystal pillar, Part of our monitoring line is connected to the large grid~~~" The demon girl was fascinated by the incredible astral structure in the goblin's mouth, opened her mouth and exclaimed in a long voice: "Wow-" As he spoke, the team suddenly got rid of the long underground cave, and Hao Ren's eyes suddenly opened up, and the underground scenery made him dumbfounded.Magnificent and fantastical colors fill the field of vision, almost dazzling.There was no expected darkness and oppression, the vastness and brightness of the underground world were completely beyond everyone's imagination, Hao Ren only saw a crystal jungle spreading out in his vision, and everything in his vision was made of crystal clear crystals, jungles, canyons, streams, shrubs......

All of them are refracted in a colorful phantom light in the light of unknown origin.It's like a frozen world.And in this boundless crystal world, Hao Ren saw the huge crystal pillars that supported the superstructure of Amantil: they were neatly arranged in the crystal world, like the giant pillars that supported the heavens and the earth in mythology, the diameter of the giant pillars was probably enough to build a city-state on its sections, and the top of it stretched all the way to the dark depths beyond the sight of the eye.In fact, the crowd came down from one of these pillars.The lower half of these huge crystal pillars were surrounded by a faint light, and in that light, Hao Ren saw a lot of strange structures that revolved around the crystal pillars, like hanging rings, which should be the ancient facilities in the mouth of the little goblin.The automatic mechanism in the depths of Amantil's underground has been operating in this underground world since the day the goddess of creation created this starship, even if the world on the surface changes and the power of madness sweeps the world, it seems that it has not been affected in the slightest.No, it's not unaffected - Hao Ren's gaze swept over the crystal world, and he soon discovered that some of the crystal pillars were actually contaminated, they had an abnormal purple red glow, and the ring-shaped facilities that orbited the crystal pillars were constantly bursting out of violent dark arcs, which looked dangerous."

I ......

I've seen something like this in the illusion of the Throne of the End," Vivien muttered as if in a dream, "but there are a lot of critters there, and a crystal stag ......"

"You should see the crystal pillar layer beneath the Nexus," the goblin explained, "The Nexus, like the three planetary fortresses, was made by the Goddess of Creation, and the structure inside is very similar.Originally, the crystal pillar layer of Amantil was also very lively, and there were many crystal animals living here, but then the crystal pillar began to mutate, and the range of animals that could survive became smaller and smaller, and now they have basically disappeared, even the forests you see......

Actually, they are also dead, but crystal plants do not decay after death, so you can see them. ”"Even if those monsters don't come down, the corruption has already spread here," Itzhax said as he looked at the crystal pillars that had clearly mutated in the distance, hugged his arms and shook his head, "so even if you hide in the core, you will be devoured sooner or later." ”"Yes, but we have nowhere else to hide," said the goblin on the holographic projection, spreading her hands, her small size making her pretended mature gesture quite interesting, "The door to the shelter is ahead, and I'll show you the way." ”
