The passage is deep, with concave and convex stone walls on both sides.
Very irregular.
That is to say, the ground of the passage should be smoothed to facilitate the passage of vehicles.
It confirmed what No. 8 said, it was indeed excavated by manpower.
"The passage doesn't seem to have been blown up?"
Tang Yu secretly paid.
He walked in without hesitation, but secretly activated a few small props for defense.
…
Ta-ta-ta,
Bald No. 8 walked at the front, followed by Tang Yu with a flashlight. Yi Lian and Kong Yi walked on either side of him, always on guard.
"How long did you dig the tunnel?" After walking for several minutes, Tang Yu finally couldn't help but ask.
No. 8 thought about it for a while, "... in short, it's very long. We didn't measure the specific data, and Zheng Bo... Old Devil Zheng asked us to dig as long as possible, so we just dug forward regardless, until we felt that it was almost the same." , and then dug up diagonally and looked for a place that could be used as an entrance."
Tang Yu: "..."
There was no landslide in the passage. He didn't know whether to admire the good luck of people like No. 8 or the good luck.
After listening to their excavation process, Tang Yu felt chilly while walking here, fearing that the entire passage would collapse at some point.
Only the scroll in his hand could bring him a sense of security. "Fortunately, even if it does collapse, at least there is no problem with safety."
suddenly,
Tang Yu smelled some strange smell coming from the front, and his expression changed slightly.
"There's a situation!"
The flashlight light shone toward the front of the deep passage, and several ferocious-looking demonized beasts came into view.
Sensing the human scent, the demonized beast rushed over quickly.
No. 8's eyes widened and he cursed, "￥&#&%... How could there be a demonized beast in this place! Could it be that it ran out of the material storage room?!"
He looked at Tang Yu and the others and quickly explained, "It's really not my fault. I have traveled so many times before and I have never seen any demonized beasts."
The demonized beast that flew over was quickly killed by Kong.
However, these demonized beasts were surprisingly strong, and one of them even escaped a fatal blow, leaving Sora unable to add another blow.
rarely seen.
Tang Yu did not dare to underestimate him, and had a bold guess in his mind.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace, "Be careful, and try not to make too much noise."
After thinking about it, Tang Yu took out another bottle of spray, which contained the juice of the Devil's Vine. He learned about the functions of this unorthodox plant from the Ancestral Dragon Warrior last time, so he specially collected some.
Aiming the spray nozzle at himself, Tang Yu sprayed all over his body. The silver-white armor turned oily purple, with a slightly choking smell.
He didn't spare his hair either, spraying it black with purple, and he always felt like something was wrong.
Shaking his head, Tang Yu said he could tolerate such a small problem, and it was not impossible to wash it off anyway.
Elaine and Sora were not pampered people, so they took the devil's vine juice spray and sprayed it on themselves to cover up their own smell.
This is what it looks like after spray painting. It looks a bit happy.
After getting ready, several people continued to move along the passage.
As expected, they encountered many demonized beasts one after another, all of which were not weak. In order to avoid making too much noise, several people took action at the same time and quickly dealt with the incoming demonized beasts.
One batch, two batches, three batches...
The passage was not short, and there were demonized beasts blocking it. We walked continuously for nearly thirty minutes. According to what the bald man leading the way said, we were almost there.
really,
A little light finally appeared in front of us.
Tang Yu was in high spirits.
Bald No. 8 finally breathed a sigh of relief... He was really afraid of being sacrificed on the spot when he could no longer see the research institute.
…
Tang Yu used two or three swords to deal with the demonized beast that rushed towards him. He rushed forward in a few steps, but he stood there blankly.
Not far in front of you is the exit of the passage.
The faint light came from the exit.
However, after exiting, it was not as he imagined. It was heavily guarded, like a secret research institute in a science fiction movie.
… The research institute is no longer visible at all!
Bald No. 8's eyes widened as he kept mumbling, "This is impossible, this is unscientific."
Tang Yu walked to the edge of the exit, squatted down, and stroked the smooth cut on the edge.
-This is not the original exit of the passage, but everything in the passage ahead has been 'swallowed' by some kind of powerful force.
What he saw in front of the exit at this time was a huge hollow, similar to a sinkhole, and the exit of the passage was located on the rock wall of the sinkhole.
Tang Yu looked up and saw a faint red mist filling the hollow.
His face became a little ugly, and the speculation in his heart finally became a reality.
"Where did you lure the demonized beasts from before? Is it not far from the research institute?" Tang Yu asked.
No. 8 came back to his senses and thought carefully, "We originally planned to enter the mountain, but we encountered many demonized beasts maybe a few kilometers or ten kilometers away from the entrance. Later we changed our mind. Pay attention, attack those demonized beasts... Later, for some reason, the number of demonized beasts gathered more and more, and even terrifying giants appeared... "
He paused, opened his mouth wide, turned his head stiffly, and stammered, "That means...that means that the entire research institute was swallowed by the crack in the abyss?"
Tang Yu couldn't believe it either.
Not long ago, the adjutant told him that the abyss crack might be born in a large shelter. Once it happened, it could only rely on the city wall to resist the demonic tide. For a shelter that focused on external defense, the disaster would be devastating.
However, Dr. Zheng's entire sanctuary is now swallowed by the abyss crack!
Can you believe this probability
Tang Yu didn't believe it at first, but the facts were in front of him. He had to believe it even if he didn't believe it... On the cliff opposite the abyss crack, a passage could be vaguely seen. In order to confirm, Tang Yu climbed up to the ground through a hook lock, and then detoured to the other side. , however, when the passageway reaches the end, it goes straight to the ground.
…
…
After struggling for nearly an hour, Tang Yu stood on the edge of the abyss crack, his feet on the dark red ground.
The red mist filled the top of the head, and demonized beasts were constantly climbing up along the cracked cliff below.
Tang Yu observed for a while and found that no matter what type of demonized beast, they seemed to be born with the ability to climb rocks. Even if they were in humanoid form, their combat effectiveness in the climbing state was no less than in the standing state.
"The length of this abyss crack is more than two hundred and fifty meters by visual inspection. If it weren't for some mistake, most of the demonized beasts, including the three extraordinary demonized beasts, would have been lured to the territory by the bald men. This At one time, it was impossible to easily approach the core area of the crack."
Even if there are a steady stream of demonized beasts pouring out, compared to the hundreds of thousands before, they are still not at the same level. With the strength of the three of them at this time, they are enough to deal with them.
Not to mention the three giants, if they hadn't stepped into the territory, it would be difficult to kill them.
Tang Yu deeply felt his own lack of strength.
"But since there is a ready-made abyss crack where demonized beasts don't gather, we can't let it go."
Not only is it relatively close to the territory, it is easy to induce demonic tides... The abyss crack itself is also equivalent to a large resource point.
As long as the crack mouth can be guarded, the demonized beasts that emerge will be killed.
Soul power, source crystals, and some precious parts and materials on the demonized beasts are inexhaustible.
Just because Lindong officials have mastered an abyssal crack, they have a lot of fluid oil in their hands. That is only an abyssal crack of 150 meters level, but this one is at least 250 meters level, or even It may have reached the 300-meter level.
There are more demonized beasts produced, and of course they are more difficult to defend.
Tang Yu stood on the edge, glanced at the bottomless crack, shook his head, and retreated into the distance.
He circled the crack a few times, observing the surrounding terrain.
Soon, a sub-territorial fortress was built at a suitable location.
Not long after, a first-level city wall was built that surrounded the entire abyss crack, with various defensive buildings surrounding it.
"There are not enough materials, so this is all we can do for the time being. Ordinary demonic tides do not pose a threat, but if another extraordinary demonic beast gets up..."
Tang Yu shook his head. The new large-scale spell was almost ready. There might be ways to improve the power of the defensive buildings. If not, you could learn from Lindong officials and deploy large-scale shaped cannons on the defense line... Anyway, shaped cannons are not high-end. technology.
