Chapter 35 Weapons of Extermination
“Tick, tick.”
The condensed water drops dripped from the stalactites and smashed into the sunken puddle on the ground. The sound of dripping water echoed in the quiet and empty cave, faint, but never dissipated for a long time.
In the darkness, several unknown little beasts fell on the edge of the small puddles. These puddles once provided them with abundant drinking water and were their paradise. However, today, this place has become their burial place. These fragile resistant animals became the first victims. They had no time to react to anything that happened, and unfortunately they were taken away by the light of destruction.
But they are also lucky, at least they did not feel the pain and despair of death. From the corpses, they were playing by the puddle, without struggling or resisting, and just fell quietly by the puddle, allowing the tissue fluid flowing out of the festered corpses to flow into the puddle, contaminating the clean water source.
"Punch, step", the footsteps sounded from far away, and three light columns tore open the darkness that enveloped the cave. Two figures appeared one after another at the end of the light column, slowly walking from a distance.
“It’s about three to seven kilometers away from the target.”
Of course, Shuer walked in front of Suffer not to protect the lady. The physical profession with strong body protects relatively fragile spell casting professions. Shuer walked in front because he needed to draw a map while studying. He took too much attention. Although it is almost certain that this trip will not be attacked by monsters, even if it is only one in ten thousand attacks, there should be no carelessness. Therefore, the female swordsman can take care of both front and back, so that there will be no accidents. This is the tacit understanding of the three of them.
"It's getting farther and farther away." Savre crossed the little beast's corpse. There were too many such scenes along the way and could no longer attract the attention of the two. "This is the cave that eats people. It's winding around. If you walk far away, you can't tell the direction."
"There are always methods." Xiuer looked at every fork, or lie on the stone wall and listened carefully through the mask. Sometimes he had to lie on the ground and carefully observe the traces on the ground, that is, his head was completely closed by the mask, otherwise he might have to stick out his tongue to lick it.
Especially when passing by the corpse, if Moria was here, she would be curiously asked when Shuer was even interested in the corpse. Whenever he passed by the corpse of a medium-sized monster, he would squat down and stare at it for a long time. Sometimes he would play with the corpses full of blood blisters through his protective suit, which made Suff very confused.
"The roads are not always available, they are all driven by people." In the end, Shuer's eyes were fixed on the wall on the side of the cave, and Saf could even think of the satisfied smile on his face from the thick mask.
"In the name of the Dark Moon, add the sacred power to yourself." A faint light gathered on Shuer's arm. Although the muscles raised by the arm were not visible through the protective suit, you could clearly feel the increasingly stronger sacred power on the arm. "I said, there needs to be a way here, so..."
"Boom", the nail hammer was swung out and hit the rock wall heavily. The huge impact sound came from far along the cave passage. A heavy roar was echoing underground for a few kilometers.
But... the wall didn't break open.
"Sasa." Shul kept the hammer swing for a few seconds before retracting the mace. The gloomy sound was filled with depression. In order not to cause the cave to collapse, he not only carefully measured the cave's ability to withstand it, but also carefully controlled the strength. Unfortunately, he was still a little underestimated on the thickness of the rock wall.
"Hehe, I know." There is still a fundamental difference between smashing and stabbing. The sword lightly pierces the rock wall. With the strengthening of the Dou Qi, the sword that can be pierced by the thick steel is of course not blocked by the shattered stone wall. It is easy to open the mouth on the cave wall. Put the lamp over and see clearly. There is indeed another cave tunnel opposite.
"Let's go, let's get through." After Saf expanded the hole, the two curled up and passed. The opposite side looked no different from the caves they had walked through before. All the environment was the same. No wonder almost no one who went deeper here could come back alive.
"There is a detail, I don't know if you noticed it." Shure engraved an unobtrusive mark on the wall. "You still remember the corpses we saw on the ground before."
"Um."
"Most of them are creatures living under the ground, but they all crawled out of the ground before they died. Why?"
"They want to run for their lives?"
"It can also be said that these small creatures do not have strong strength and live on the edge of life and death all year round. They must have extremely sensitive intuition to ensure that they are not eliminated by the world." Shuer lowered his shoulders and moved the light column down, just shining on several corpses on the ground. "Look, these corpses have some differences in their directions when they die, but if you draw a line in the reverse direction along their corpses, you can find that the reverse extension line will cross at the same position."
"They are avoiding the fragment you said?"
"Yes, just like when the earth fire erupts or earthquakes, small animals will instinctively escape, and the light of destruction is the same. Except for the most vulnerable ones, they die in an instant and have no time to react, those with slightly more vigorous vitality will run away in the opposite direction of the light of destruction, hoping to avoid it from afar."
He kicked away the body that had just finished the explanation props. Shuer wiped the pus and blood from his boots and sighed softly.
"So, all the creatures underground drilled out of the ground because danger came from the ground. Unfortunately, they didn't know that even when they reached the ground, they could not escape the shadow of danger. Haha, the light of destruction has nowhere to escape."
"No, Shuer, the direction they escaped was here." Saf pointed at the direction of the cave tunnel, "But, I have observed a few of them just now, and the direction they escaped was not, which was far from the direction they escaped."
"Ha, because they are not so stupid that they only know how to run in one direction. They also understand that it will not only hurt when hitting the wall, but also be killed."
"Hate, scold me again." Savre patted his hood, and realized that he asked a stupid question. These animals were obviously escaping their lives, not simply running around. Of course, they would run away from the fragments along the way, and so on, so say... "No wonder you didn't worry about not finding the target from the beginning, because these corpses gave you the way, even if there were deviations, you could chisel the walls like you did just now."
"That's right. I guessed the reason why they came out on the ground just now, so I was so confident to find the target."
"It's not just the ground." Suff is not stupid at all, "You asked yourself to be so confident when you came in person. I'm afraid you had already expected it at that time. Well, bringing me instead of Moria is also because I have much better ability to break the wall than Moria, right?"
"Haha, I'm leaving, I know the direction of the Emerald Light and their corpses guide it. It's not difficult to find the target." Shuer smiled without objection, "What is really difficult is that I'm worried that the target will not be so easy to destroy."
"Does it really come from the underground? But you just said it was from the void. It was two things, but you said that they were all lights of destruction." Shur dragged forward. Even though Saf knew Shur was changing the subject, he gently did not expose him, but said according to his intention, "What the hell is going on?"
"It's indeed two things." Shur stopped at a fork, walked in and retreated, and finally chose one of them. "There is indeed that phenomenon in the void. My Lord was busy resisting the light of destruction, so he didn't take care of my prayers. The light of destruction does not appear frequently, it only appears once every few thousand years, and the gods can discover it in advance and respond in advance. In fact, with the protection of the gods, the ground will not be affected in any way."
"But this time, there was some surprise. Because this light of destruction awakened the metal fragments. Metal fragments that were picked up by the Lion Heart King? Haha, they are indeed metal fragments, which can emit the imitation of the light of destruction, emit an invisible light, directly killing the metal fragments of all living things within the coverage area."
“Hundreds of square kilometers?”
"Yes, it covers hundreds of square kilometers, and within a few minutes, all creatures will be killed."
"It's so cruel."
"Yes." Shuer asked himself that there were thousands of soldiers and civilians who died because of his decision, but he still felt creepy when he thought of the effect of this weapon. Shuer was not afraid of war, but the fundamental purpose of war was politics rather than killing. However, this was an extinct massacre weapon in a certain area. It was really impossible to understand how anyone could have created such a weapon that simply killed life.
"Wait, do you think this is a man-made weapon?" Savre just realized, "No race can make such a weapon."
"Of course there is no Pavatiga. My Lord also said that these are fragments flying from the sky." Shur pointed to the sky, "the fragments from the void."
"In the void... besides Pavatiga, are there other planets with life?"
"Absolutely, the will of the gods can cover the endless void, not the question of distance, but conceptual coverage. As long as they are willing, they can know the situation in any place in the void at any time. Haha, the so-called omniscience and omnipotence are not just propaganda slogans created for missionary preaching." Shur sighed, "My Lord can be sure that there is no life in the void except our Pavatiga Star, and we are lonely."
"But, where did this fragment come from?" Sav felt that he was not smart enough. "It wouldn't be like you said, breaking through the space barrier and coming from the real world."
