While stepping into the space-time vortex, Qin Lun felt as if his body was squeezed into a ball of dark green paste. There is a slight pressure on the skin all over the body, but the resistance is not great, and it can slide far away with light force.
This feeling didn't last long, and soon Qin Lun felt his eyes light up, and broke free from the vortex of time and space.
As soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. In front of him is a red and white corridor, the corridor is almost three meters high and wide.
The ceiling of the corridor is composed of Mo Ming's flesh and blood, and some of the raised tumors are dripping with dirty blood. The floor of the corridor is full of scattered human skeletons. These skeletons are polluted by the blood dripping from the ceiling, like hell's wet sewers, making people sick to watch.
The walls of this corridor are not ordinary building materials, they are all made of human bones. In the densely packed bone wall, many skulls stand out. Most of these skulls are relatively decayed, with a withered yellow color, but there are also a few skulls that still have a fresh pale color.
A very small number of the skulls still have flesh and hair that have not been removed. Judging from their faces, they seem to be some blond-haired foreigners. Get in touch with the plot of Onimusha mentioned by Lu Kuang, maybe there are some innocent Parisians in it.
Qin Lun looked back, and behind him was an arch of bones, and the pillars of the arch were the thigh bones of two unknown creatures. Above the leg bones, there is a skeleton lantern made of human ribs. The bone lamp emits a bright orange light, and the lamp oil inside is a white paste with a foul smell.
In the middle of the bone arch is a dark green space-time vortex, but it is much smaller than the space-time vortex in Notre Dame de Paris, less than a quarter of the latter.
After the law's body was strengthened, Qin Lun's perception had been greatly improved, and he could vaguely feel that the back of this tunnel of bones was not an entity, but another space.
This place seems to be a huge maze separated by a wall of bones, and judging from the massive number of bones that make up the maze, it is definitely not a temporary base built by Paris Phantom, it should be somewhere that has been built long ago.
"Buzz..." While Qin Lun was looking around, there was a strange sound coming from the corridor.
Qin Lun took a closer look, and saw two huge blood-colored sarcoma on the ceiling far away from the tunnel of bones, a gap opened, as if a bloody mouth had opened. Groups of "black hornets" gushed out of the cracks, pounced towards him like dark clouds.
It was a defensive trap in the tunnel. Qin Lun's face changed slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. In an instant, he simulated several countermeasures, which were overthrown by himself one by one. In the end, the doctor sighed softly, took out three seed-like objects from his bosom, and threw them in front of him.
As soon as the three seeds fell to the ground, they grew furiously in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into three tall vine tree figures. Perhaps it was because the ground of the tunnel of bones was covered with smelly flesh and blood, and the vines who had absorbed the flesh had blood-red lines on their bodies, and the trees were covered with red and green vines.
The three vine tree figures stood side by side in front of Qin Lun, almost blocking the entire corridor. They waved the vines on their bodies and slammed the "black hornets" that came in groups.
Soon, the feet of the vine tree people were full of "hornet" corpses, and only a very small number of "hornets" would give up attacking the vine tree people and deliberately go through the vines to attack Qin Lun.
Qin Lun swung his knife to kill a fish that escaped the net, and leaned over to pick up this "black hornet" for inspection. In fact, this small wasp-like creature is not a real insect, but a very tiny phantom.
The "hornet" phantom is covered with an insect-like armor, with four pairs of arthropods on the sides, two pairs of transparent wings on the back, compound eyes on the head, and the black poisonous needle at the tail as its main attack weapon.
Unsurprisingly, after this "hornet" phantom turned into ashes, no phantom beads were left behind. It seems that their Magic Orbs should only exist in those two huge sarcoid "hives".
The vine tree people can exist independently for an hour, but with the nourishment of human flesh and blood, their stay time seems to be longer. Qin Lun didn't wait for the vine tree people to wipe out all the "hornets". This labyrinth of bones is complicated and confusing, and it is the enemy's territory. It is reasonable to hurry up and solve this trouble.
Qin Lun thought for a while, then took out a small bottle containing low-concentration holy water from the storage space, and poured it directly into his mouth with his head raised. With holy water in his mouth, he strode up to the vine tree people, puffed up his cheeks and squirted towards the hornets swarm.
"Tch!" As soon as the holy water touched the wasp phantom, wisps of blue smoke rose up, and the wasp phantom fell from the air one after another like it was doused with sulfuric acid.
After two or three sprays like this, Qin Lun completely used up the bottle of low-concentration holy water. However, the wasp phantoms in the tunnel were also empty, and the few remaining wasp phantoms could no longer threaten him.
After clearing out these little things, Qin Lun did not stay where he was, and immediately jumped over the three vine tree figures, ran quickly to the front of the corridor, took out the FN-500 and blasted at the two sarcomatous "honeycombs".
Two minutes later, Qin Lun cleaned out two blood-colored magic beads from the "honeycomb". These two Magic Beads are of extremely high quality, and each has 15 points of leftover souls, which shows that they have killed many human beings in the past.
The place where the hive is located is already the end of this corridor. This is a corridor intersection, and there is a bone corridor on the left and right, which is exactly the same as the corridor behind Qin Lun, making him sure that it is indeed a maze of bones.
"Mazes, traps, phantoms, nodes of time and space..." Qin Lun rubbed his temples, lost in thought.
According to the collected information, the clues in Qin Lun's mind gradually became clear. There must be some kind of secret of phantoms in this labyrinth of bones, and it is well-defended. However, the defense of the labyrinth does not rely on combat phantoms, but more of a defensive trap similar to wasp phantoms.
Even though Qin Lun easily dealt with the wasp phantom just now, in fact this kind of defensive trap is very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the vine tree's strong skin and thick flesh, his huge body blocked the entire passage, and he still had half a bottle of holy water on hand... If the other apostles faced this kind of wasp phantom, they would peel off their skin even if they didn't die.
Qin Lun exchanged a bottle of low-concentration holy water worth 3,500 broken crystals, and three vine seeds in exchange for two 15-point ghost magic beads. From a certain point of view, he was still at a loss.
"The space-time node of this corridor is different in size from the space-time node of Notre Dame de Paris. Is there any difference here?"
Qin Lun suddenly turned his head to look at the space-time vortex when he came in, his eyes brightened...
"Apostle No. 70053, you have collected a low-quality core of time and space, and you can request to return through the apostle's soul seal. When you return, you must be in a non-combat state, and our monitoring is in a safe state."
"Reminder: The Nucleus of Time and Space mission has been completed with the minimum requirements. Currently, the total progress of this mission is 7/100, and the contribution of No. 70053 apostle is 1/7. Destroy a time and space node in the maze of bones, and obtain 0.212% of the world exploration degree, which has not yet been cut off The phantom base is connected in time and space with modern Paris. The improvement conditions of the task evaluation have not been met, and there are no other additional rewards."
"As expected!" Qin Lun lowered his head and muttered to himself.
He used the space-time energy collector to collect the space-time core, which took less than two minutes, while the space-time node in Notre Dame de Paris took a full ten minutes.
The energy of time-space transmission at two time-space points should be constant, and the only explanation for this phenomenon is that there are multiple small space-time nodes connecting Notre Dame Cathedral in this maze of bones.
The two-minute wait also allowed Qin Lun to confirm another guess, that is, there were no living phantoms responsible for patrolling in this maze of bones except for the passive trap phantoms. Otherwise, they should have come here long ago, and the maze of bones is most likely just an outlying fortification to cover the phantom base.
In fact, Qin Lun was able to obtain this core of time and space because of both wisdom and luck. Although the labyrinth of bones is the periphery of the phantom base, it is not easy to get in.
The phantoms regard the Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame de Paris as the core of the Paris strategy. If most of the phantoms in Paris are attacking the heart of Paris such as the Concorde Square and the City Hall; if there are no aquatic phantoms to defend the Seine; Draw away the phantom of Notre Dame de Paris...
With Qin Lun alone, he couldn't even enter the gate of Notre Dame de Paris!
Qin Lun looked at the space-time energy collector in his hand, but he couldn't see the true face of the space-time core. Once this thing is collected, it seems to be directly in the dimensional space of the collector, and the apostle himself has no way to take it out of the collector.
The progress of the space-time core task is 7/100, which obviously means that all the apostles in the fantasy world have collected 7 time-space cores. As for what will happen after reaching 100 space-time cores, Qin Lun doesn't care.
In his opinion, this is equivalent to the Arabian Nights. Although this is only the first day of the mission, the difficulty of the subsequent missions will only become more and more difficult. With the occupation of Paris by phantoms, some of their existing loopholes will be slowly filled.
Putting away the core of time and space, a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Lun's mouth. Now that it has been confirmed that there are not a large number of active phantoms in the maze of bones, he is not in a hurry to return. Anyway, the vine tree man exists for an hour, so he can search around for other time and space nodes.
Even if he ran into other phantoms, he could still come back here and join forces with the thick-skinned vines to kill the phantoms.
Qin Lun put away the time-space energy collector, observed it for a while, then stepped on the skull on the bone wall of the corridor, climbed up the bone wall, and cut off a piece of phantom flesh and blood from the ceiling of the corridor with the sinful dagger.
After climbing down, Qin Lun smeared the flesh and blood on his body. He didn't know whether phantoms could distinguish human beings based on their breath, but it was always good to be prepared.
After getting ready, Qin Lun ran towards the corridor on the left of the Sanchakou. After running for a certain distance, he suddenly squatted down, grabbed the corner of the corridor, and looked ahead vigilantly.
Not far in front, two grotesque phantoms fell to the ground dying, as if they were injured, and they didn't die for a while.
"Huh, could it be that..." Looking at this scene, Qin Lun's eyes flashed with a strange light.
