Chapter 123: Refiner 1, welcome to the underground world(1/2)
Entering the underground passage, the atmosphere becomes increasingly weird.
With his extraordinary hearing, Tang Shidao noticed that the 'vibration' under the ground was getting stronger and stronger, and it was a very rhythmic vibration. It felt like some kind of giant machine was slowly running, not a group, but a number
Hundreds or even thousands of groups of machines are running non-stop. It is not difficult to imagine that there must be a mechanism array or secret palace under the feet, and its scope must be extremely huge.
Following the smell of blood, Tang Shidao kept running fast.
Strange.
Although he did not run at full speed, he still did not catch up with the five enemies after running for so long. While running, Tang Shidao did not miss the strange traces around him. The blood was heavier, the fighting was less, and it seemed that the outcome was about to be decided. There were no spells along the way.
The traces also prove that these five people are not anti-mages, and they have no innate magic cards.
Not long after.
Tang Shidao discovered the corpses of a lizard and a tauren.
They were not beast soldiers, but 'heroic' strong men with more elite armor. Comparing the smell of killing lizards before, Tang Shidao was sure that these were two of the five enemies. Looking at the corpses of dozens of armored monster insects next to them,
This encounter is self-evident. There are indeed guardian beasts in the underground passages, and there are quite a few of them.
Keep going down.
Soon, they encountered the corpses of a lion man and a horned troll.
At this point, only one of the five enemies is left.
At this point, the vibrations coming from the ground became more intense, and my ears could already hear the ticking sound of mechanical clockwork. The smell in the air became lighter, replaced by the fragrance of dozens of flowers slowly drifting into the nose. Here
This tunnel is filled with the smell of rust and blood, and the fragrance of flowers is simply incredible.
After walking for about a few kilometers, the bloody battle was coming to an end.
"Help me...these black-helmeted insects will call out to their companions. Hurry up and kill them as soon as possible, otherwise you will have a hard time." During the battle, a wooden-skinned monster shouted.
At this time, it was trying hard to swing its one-handed hammer, trying to repel the besieging Black Helmet Insects.
Tang Shidao ignored it and just watched it quietly.
In his opinion.
The wood-skinned monster's striking movements were too large, wasting too much energy. The aiming position was also wrong, and it failed to target the weak point of the black-helmeted insect. Its breathing, dodging, and rhythm were messed up. It would be defeated in two or three minutes, and then
Killed by the not very agile black helmet insect.
Tang Shidao concealed his aura, and the black-helmeted insect was unable to detect it.
They were arrogantly beating the green-skinned monster, just like a group of rhinos teasing a wild dog.
"Help me...they...please, save me!" The wood-skinned monster was reluctant to ask for help at first, but when he saw that Tang Shidao ignored it, he couldn't help but become anxious.
"You are already dead." Tang Shidao said calmly.
"What?" The wood-skinned monster was stunned. Before it could react, a chill ran down its waist, and a sickle claw flashed past it and it immediately split into two pieces.
at this time.
A strange mantis that was several times larger appeared. It stepped on the wood-skinned monster with only its upper body left, and nailed a black-helmeted insect to death with its scythe. It stood still with its scythe, and stared at Tang Shidao with its eyes.
In the eyes, this 'breathless' creature is even more dangerous.
Saw a strange mantis appear.
A group of black-helmeted insects fled in a hurry, without even the will to fight.
They rushed towards Tang Shidao, not caring about this small creature, thinking that they could knock him away with a single collision. However, the large black-helmeted insect slammed into him, and Tang Shidao only punched forward.
The insect shattered... The residual power of the fragments remained, flying like cannonballs, injuring or knocking over the black-helmeted insects behind them.
This punch is powerful.
The black-helmeted insects were also frightened and wanted to retreat, but unfortunately there was a strange mantis on the other side behind them. For a moment, the black-helmeted insects were trembling like children, not even daring to call for help. In front of the real strong people, they
It's really just a bunch of bugs.
At this moment.
Unexpectedly, the strange mantis stretched out a sickle limb and pointed in a certain direction.
It seems to be a guiding movement.
Tang Shidao was not too surprised. There were obvious artificial traces on the strange mantis. It was not artificially made, but seemed to be spawned by some kind of machine. At its feet, the green-skinned monster groaned and called: "Help me...help me, help me,
I am willing to be your slave. Please, save me."
The strange mantis gave way and signaled that you want to grab this 'food'?
Tang Shidao only said: "You have been poisoned and cannot be saved. The sickle claws of the mantis are poisonous, don't you smell it? Forget it, tell me who you are, and I will give you a good time. Otherwise, you will soon be dead
The whole body is paralyzed, and the toxin will slowly cool down, making you hard, brittle, and crispy. I guess the big mantis will not eat you, but will take it back to its children to eat. When they eat you, you may still feel
It hurts."
The green-skinned monster was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.
Imagine a group of little mantises slowly eating their own flesh, unable to move but feeling pain.
"Apostle... I am the envoy of the Anti-Mage. The place above is presided over by Master Xie Gu and Master Xie Xue. They are brothers and both are very talented weapon refiners. Because they want to retrieve the treasure left by Master Xie Tong,
They have been working here for decades. What else do you want to know? Please, kill me." The green-skinned monster just wants to die now.
"Evil bone and evil blood are the descendants of evil pupil?" Tang Shidao stepped forward, ignoring the strange mantis, and touched the green-skinned monster's forehead with his spear.
The green-skinned monster breathed a sigh of relief.
The other party's promise was effective and he wanted to give himself a break: "No, Master Xie Tong is an ancient person. He died long ago and has no descendants at all. Master Xie Bone and Master Xie Xue have excellent talents in refining.
I deliberately gave him a similar nickname. You have to be careful, even if Master Xie Tong dies, he is still not someone who can be underestimated by the living."
"Thank you." Tang Shidao waved his spear, and the green-skinned monster had no time to say anything and died with a smile.
Seeing Tang Shidao's movements, the strange mantis also posed.
But.
Seeing that Tang Shidao did not grab food, it relaxed again. Although it could not understand the conversation between the two people, the strange mantis was not bad in intelligence, and it did not offend a strong man like Tang Shidao.
Follow the underground passage indicated by the strange mantis.
soon.
Tang Shidao came to a huge cliff.
Under the cliff, countless super-giant steel pipes connect in all directions, and further down in the middle is a 'heart'-shaped metal object, which is comparable to an imaginary alien mothership. There are also a large number of strange beasts in this steel world, including
A multi-armed ape, a bat-winged tiger, a spiny-horned monitor lizard, a beast-footed bison, a scorpion-tailed giant spider, and a strange bird with arms.
The nearby monsters were not too surprised to see Tang Shidao.
Unexpected.
Some of the armed monsters even stretched out their hands and pointed at the entrance of a steel pipe in the distance.
This action seems very natural and habitual.
There is a feeling.
A certain existence has been teaching them: if they see a creature with this appearance or a very powerful creature, they will be directed to this place. Therefore, they found that Tang Shidao was mysterious and dangerous, and immediately made this guidance reflexively.
Tang Shidao did not hesitate.
Step into this underground world full of floral fragrance.
Go into the pipe.
Not long after, Tang Shidao came to a city-like area. There were different monster nests here, and there were also well-ordered highways. Although the monsters were surprised to see Tang Shidao, they did not attack. They seemed to be used to living together peacefully. The same thing
, some smarter monsters also stretched out their hands to guide them in a direction.
Tang Shidao discovered that this area was growing and was about to become a trading point like a 'market'.
The monsters exchanged meat for bones, and bones for horns and teeth.
Although they will be dissatisfied with the transaction and start fighting, they don't fight hard, they just yell or collide a few times, and then run away with their own things. This is very similar to the civilization of primitive society. The difference is that these monsters are very strong.
It also follows certain rules.
Follow the guidance.
Tang Shidao walked step by step to a steel gate.
No hesitation.
Even if the steel gate is extremely thick, Tang Shidao is not worried that it is a trap. If you have strength, you have confidence, so it doesn't matter if the steel palace is just a prison. He strode into the door, and in a blink of an eye, the lights around him lit up, and the gate behind him
Slowly closing, the entire space becomes a secret room.
"Hey, someone is here again?"
Before Tang Shidao could take stock of his surroundings, a gloomy sound came from the left. The lights that had been deliberately turned off came on, and a large group of people quickly appeared.
Tang Shidao didn't care.
Turning around, I found that the two parties were not in the same secret palace.
To be continued...
