The sound of footsteps echoed in this deep corridor, and the sound continued to be amplified, forming a hollow echo.
"... The situation was similar to now. We were exploring a building and walking in a similar passage. The passage was very long, so long that I suspected it had no end. Although no one showed it, I knew that they were as anxious as I was."
As they walked, Xiao Niao described the situation vividly: "Just when our captain suggested taking a break, we suddenly heard a cry. It sounded like a man, depressed, low, sad and full of deep despair."
"It would be fine if this happened somewhere on the fortress, but this is the Reverse Realm, and we have confirmed during our exploration that our team is the only one in the vicinity. So, where is the crying coming from?"
"I was terribly scared at the time, but I couldn't show it because it would affect everyone else's mood. The captain also looked very bad, just like he is now."
The bird used the lighting device in his hand to shine from bottom to top, so that the playful face now looked a little gloomy.
The scattered shadows on her face formed a gloomy picture. She lowered her voice and said, "We found a door. The crying sound came from behind the door. Qianhong, if it were you, what would you do?"
Qian Hong, who was walking beside him, had a thoughtful look on her face. After a moment, she said in a positive tone, "If we are sure that there are no humans in the surrounding area, then there must be illegal immigrants behind the door. In that case, I will destroy the door and the things behind it!"
"No, that's not right!"
Xiao Niao looked troubled and said, "Qianhong, have you forgotten what I told you? We are girls, and girls can't always think about destruction and killing. Unless there are no men around, but don't forget, I just said that there are men in our team."
"So at this time, we should let the men take action."
Qian Hong spread her hands and said, "When encountering danger in the wilderness, no matter if it is a male or a female, the first reaction is to eliminate the danger. So what I did was right."
The bird stroked his forehead and said, "Now that you have left the wilderness, young lady, shouldn't you learn some of the ways of the fortress?"
Qian Hong muttered softly: "What a hassle."
"I think Qianhong's judgment is correct."
Tian Yang, who was standing next to him, stood on Qian Hong's side and said, "When you encounter danger, you should take action immediately. This is common sense."
"What Baimao said makes sense." Kunlan interrupted.
Qian Hong raised three fingers: "Three to one, I win."
The little bird sighed: "You guys"
"Can you guys act a little more nervous?"
Han Shu, who was walking in front, said dissatisfiedly: "We are going to that dangerous hall now. Where do you think we are going? Pay attention! Really, you guys are too difficult to lead. I want to apply for a team change!"
After resting in the command building for eight hours, at the strong request of Mu Qing and other church members, the team that came all the way from Skyfort has now entered the Beidou base.
The Beidou base has electricity, and there is a light every twenty meters. Although we are in the adverse world, except for the dim light, we can still see the road clearly.
The person in charge of leading this team to the Crack Hall today is also an old acquaintance.
Adam!
Doctor Luo Shan's brother has been promoted to level 5, and his equipment has also changed. Not only is the armor thicker and heavier, but there is also a straight sword hanging on his waist.
There was also a two-handed sword that shone with cold light.
Speaking of equipment, Han Shu also changed to a new material weapon.
It was a mechanical shield. According to the captain, in addition to being used as a shield, it could also be transformed into a battle axe.
Kunlan still used a pair of crooked swords, but they were no longer the same two swords as before. The blades of these new crooked swords were like jade. It was unknown what material the weapons were made of, but they were said to have a corrosive effect. As for their specific power, it was still unknown.
Tianyang's equipment was not changed, but Jinfeng had forged and melted the long sword into the star sand. Now it was sharp as soon as it was unsheathed, and after injecting the star essence, the sword light formed was like a night star, and both the power and appearance were directly jumped to a higher level.
Hearing Han Shu's complaints, Tian Yang and his companions smiled but said nothing, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. However, when they arrived at an intersection with roadblocks, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Because there was no lighting in the passage behind the roadblock, the space in the distance merged into the darkness, and an inexplicable malice was faintly surging from there.
Adam turned around and said, "Captain Han Shu, I can only take you here. After the roadblock is a closed area, you can only go to the Crack Hall by yourself."
Han Shu nodded: "I understand. Thank you for leading the way, Captain Adam."
Adam smiled faintly, stood aside, and ordered people to remove the roadblocks.
After the roadblock was opened, Han Shu shouted, "Deploy the defensive formation and start entering!"
He was the first to walk past the roadblock and enter the closed area.
Tianyang and others scattered.
Kunlan and Xiaoniao, two war gods, are responsible for the safety of both sides of the team. Qianhong, the hunter, is in the middle of the team, and Tianyang is responsible for covering the rear.
Yanbing brought the Queen and formed a second circle of defense with the soldiers in the team.
The warriors of the church and the Stormtroopers are the third level.
Mu Qing's church members and Xun were at the core of the team and were under the strictest protection.
And so, the team began to enter the passage.
When passing by Adam, this cheerful Westerner patted Tianyang on the shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you to come back and have a drink."
Tianyang smiled back: "Definitely."
Enter the passage.
After the team had completely passed, Adam took another deep look inside and shouted, "Close the passage!"
As the soldiers worked busily, the roadblocks that had been dispersed were reinstalled, blocking the passage once again.
It was dark in the closed area.
As the lights came on, everyone could see the road clearly. However, everyone's lighting seemed to be affected in this area, and the light was extremely dim.
This is not simply a decrease in visibility caused by black fog, but rather interference with the equipment itself.
"In the area where Yan Mo is active, dark particles will be arranged to form something like a field. Within this area, light, whether natural or artificial, will be suppressed."
Mu Qing's voice rang out. The priestess was wearing a special protective suit made by the church. The helmet made it impossible to see her face, but her voice was very clear.
"Pastor Chen, please take them out."
Several priests nodded and took out something like a flashlight from the briefcases they carried with them.
After it was turned on, a very bright light was formed, which not only illuminated a large area of the surrounding space, but also the light easily penetrated the black fog and ignored the influence of dark particles.
Tianyang noticed that the light from the flashlight,
It is a hazy silver light, like starlight.
"What is this?" Han Shu also noticed the extraordinary features of these equipment in the church.
Mu Qing chuckled in her helmet: "This is a device to deal with Yama. It uses ectoplasm crystals to emit light, and uses special mirror materials to expand the area of illumination."
The church is really rich to use ectoplasm crystals for lighting. However, they even brought response equipment. It would be unbelievable if they said they were not prepared in advance.
Tianyang's mouth corners slightly raised.
As he was walking, Tianyang suddenly stopped.
After entering the base, he communicated with the black fog, extending his thoughts with the help of the black fog, and kept a close eye on his surroundings.
At this moment, the boy felt something approaching, right in the middle of the team!
Almost at the same time, a warrior who protected the religion saw a small thing crawling out from a crack in the road ahead.
It was about seven or eight centimeters long, and looked like a mantis, but it had a round head and two big black eyes. The little thing tilted its head, as if it was sizing up the warrior. Then it spread its wings behind it. Its wings were very black and thin, but there were dots on them, as if they were inlaid with countless gold sand.
Flapping its wings, it flew up, floating in front of the warrior like an elf.
"What kind of bug is this? It looks quite cute." The warrior stretched out a finger and gently touched the creature's head.
It actually rubbed against the warrior's fingers affectionately, like a coquettish cat.
Hearing the sound, Mu Qing looked back, and when she saw the little thing, she exclaimed, "Leave it!"
The warrior added: "It's okay, priest, it's very docile..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that cute little thing suddenly split open from its head to its abdomen. Its body spread out, forming a mouthpart. The mouthpart was full of sharp teeth, and it bit his finger fiercely.
The warrior didn't feel anything, but a piece of his finger was already missing.
"Huh?"
After a moment, he screamed.
Mu Qing shouted, "Be careful, that's the Aphid Demon! They are swarming creatures, there must be a nest here!"
While she was giving the warning, the aphid demon had already pounced on the warrior's helmet. Through the visor of the helmet, the warrior could clearly see that the creature's mouthparts were opening and closing at a very high frequency.
Every time it opened and closed, a layer of the sturdy mask made of special materials was eaten away. In the blink of an eye, the mask was covered with cracks.
The warrior quickly grabbed it, threw it to the ground, and then stepped on it.
There was a sound like a bursting water ball under his feet, and when he lifted his feet again, the aphid demon had been crushed to pieces. A large amount of mucus gushed out of its body and stained the soles of the warrior's shoes.
"coming!"
Tianyang felt that there were a lot of creatures moving around under the passage, but before he could raise the alarm, a piece of the floor suddenly flew up, and it was like opening the cover of the well of hell, and a lot of aphid demons rushed up from below like a gusher.
Thousands of little creatures squeaked and rushed towards the warrior. They densely covered the warrior's body. The warrior screamed and waved his hands, but there was no way to drive away these locust-like creatures.
Inside the helmet, the warrior could not see the passage or his companions, but only the mouthparts of the split aphids that opened up. They bit quickly and gnawed the mask apart.
When a fragment of the mask fell off, the warrior saw a scimitar screaming and crawling in. It fluttered in his helmet and then jumped into his mouth...
