The exploration team led by Hao Ren trekked on the scorched earth of the Nibelungen. Along the way, they discovered many bottomless abysses. It even went straight through the mainland: Vivienne threw a little bat into one of the cracks, and she vomited after ten minutes. The little bat flew directly over the Nibelungen land floating in a different space, with one Intruded into a "back of the earth" environment with disturbed gravity and horrifying landscapes, Vivian, who shared her senses, fainted on the spot and almost vomited out the New Year's Eve dinner.
In other space wrecks, Hao Ren has also seen distorted fissures all over the earth, but to be honest, these fissures in Nibelungen are different from other places.
The team stopped next to a rather huge crack and began to detect the crack. The widest part of this fissure is about a few kilometers, and the overall length reaches 30 kilometers. It is crooked and engraved on the ground like an ugly scar. In the depths of the crack, one can vaguely see some huge, beam-like columns criss-crossing among the cliffs. Those entangled things are shrouded in a poisonous mist. From above, only A hazy piece. Although he couldn't see the details clearly, Hao Ren knew that it was the vine of his eldest son, Ugudora Hill.
Galazore threw two probes under the crack, and after a while the probes sent back data, and the Dragon Queen pointed at her own data terminal: "The geological data here is clearer, just as we speculated."
Anthony came over to take a look, and nodded slightly: "The earth was not torn apart by the explosion, but by these vines. The vines below have shown signs of serious decay, and there is a lot of friction between them and the surrounding stone walls. Marks and gaps, evidence of vines writhing violently, tearing at layers of rock. I guess it must have been caused by very severe pain."
Hao Ren frowned: "There is clear and unmistakable evidence of corruption, but to be honest, there is a doubt in it."
The two examiner colleagues immediately cast doubtful glances.
"The vines found in other kingdoms are very calm, or there are no signs of violent struggle around those vines," Hao Ren spread his hands, "but all these vines belong to the same creature, they are a whole, happening in one place With such a serious lesion, why are the vines in other areas motionless as if they were unconscious?"
Lily touched her chin and thought about it carefully: "It sounds like hemiplegia... Does the eldest son have a cerebral thrombosis?"
Before Hao Ren could say anything, the data terminal jumped out of nowhere: "This machine can have cerebral thrombosis, why can't the eldest son?"
Hao Ren hurriedly pulled down the troublesome PDA, while Galazore looked at him with special concern: "To be honest-you really don't plan to send it back for repair? It's still under warranty anyway."
"Send it back to the factory and you have to go through the formalities from our God. Now it's broken, but at least it can still work. If this thing gets more crazy after returning to the factory, I will cry to someone," Hao Ren With a bitter face, "Forget it, let's stop talking about this, let's continue walking, if it's correct, the crater in front is the place where Ned Hogg fell, sort out all the information, let's go over there and take a look What the hell is there?"
Elizabeth bouncingly followed behind Vivian, and the little girl was very curious: "What does Ned Hogg look like?"
Vivian turned her head and glanced at Galazore: "Did you see Aunt Long's transformation?"
The little girl nodded her head vigorously. Before that, she and her father had made a fuss on the upper platform. The spectacular sight of Galajuel crossing the sky after his transformation was still fresh in the memory of the little girl. I also remembered the situation where my head hung itself on someone else's cooling tower.
Vivienne spread her hands: "Galazoll fell into the sauce jar after transforming, just like Ned Hogg..."
Galazore: "…"
No matter how irrelevant the topics along the way were, the group still did not delay their important work. They collected the energy readings of all the fissures along the way and conducted biological sampling analysis on more than a dozen vines spreading from the fissures. Coupled with the information from the flying bats and probes, Hao Ren finally He was able to roughly outline a map of the polluted and corrupted area of Ugudora Hill. Based on this area map, he could roughly calculate the dividing line between those diseased vines and normal vines and their distribution rules. The data terminal uploaded the data to the analysis host of the giant turtle rock platform, and used the spacecraft antenna as a springboard to send a copy of the data to the crystal nucleus research station located in the dream plane.
Containers 1 and 2 at the research station immediately started a temporary thread and began examining the two eldest sub-samples in the container for possible internal causes of this corruption.
At the same time, a group of people also arrived in front of the towering crater.
Standing on the top of the crater, Hao Ren looked down, and what he saw was a terrifying sight.
The entire crater is like a festering and perforated gangrene. The rocks and land in the crater have basically been corroded by highly toxic substances and the eldest son's body fluids, forming a bottomless festering pit. Countless huge, black and red Glossy, half-vegetal, half-biological vine structures entangled and grew in this abyss, forming an intricate situation. At the center of the bottom of the crater, a group of thinner vines entangled and raised to form a small hill. Wrapped with a hideous and distorted huge skeleton.
Nidhogg the black dragon - retreated from the battlefields of Ragnarok, fell in smoke at the end of the earth, and finally died in the lair of the Nibelungen, the vines of the firstborn drained the once powerful dragon creature , turning its bones into a hideous collection wrapped in vines.
"The activity of biological tissues here is higher than in other areas, which is abnormally high..." Anthony held the data terminal to illuminate the bottom of the crater, frowning slightly, "It's strange... Didn't that person named Mimir calm down? Ugudora Hill, why does the vine tissue here seem to be completely active?"
"There are also these signs of infection and corruption," Hao Ren squatted down to observe the weird vines below. The vines found in other kingdoms have a healthy luster and runes are shining on the surface, but the vines in the crater The shape is completely different from it. It is not so much a rotten lesion, but more like a different kind of biological tissue. "The vines of the Nibelungen seem to be completely isolated from the vines in other places, and this place seems to be a world of its own. of."
"Is there a risk of 'waking up'?" Vivian looked at Anthony.
"There are definitely risks, but as long as you are careful, you should be fine," Anthony nodded, "The activity level is still below the warning value."
"Everyone, be vigilant." Hao Ren adjusted his clothes and was the first to go down. "If you see any vines that are moving, you must report them immediately. Don't provoke them rashly."
The terrain inside the crater is rugged and difficult to walk. It is almost impossible to find a flat and open place to stay. The inspectors also sensed that the "Eldest Son" was an extremely terrifying and dangerous creature. They raised their vigilance and walked beside Hao Ren. Anthony was surrounded by magic runes of the protection and warning system, and Galazore's eyes turned into vertical pupils. , ready to transform at any time.
At the back of the team, Nangong Wuyue opened a water mist barrier to protect everyone: Although everyone has shields and various self-defense spells to protect them, the siren's water mist barrier is still the best to use in this situation second line of insurance.
They came to Nidhogg's skeleton.
"There are serious signs of corrosion," Y'zaks poked his hand between the vines, and easily broke off a piece of black bone, "Such a big dragon... in my hometown, it can basically dominate the entire sac." Take some space."
Hao Ren smacked his lips: "It's useless to meet a creature like the 'Eldest Son', who can pierce the Nine Kingdoms with a single tentacle."
Lily looked up at the giant dragon skeleton that was so huge that it almost covered the sky, and she almost burst into tears: "What a waste... If this thing is not poisonous, I can eat it until the next century."
Everyone: "..."
Hao Ren took a closer look around and found a very wide crack under Nid Hogg's skull. There was a faint red light coming from under the crack, so he took out a probe and threw it down.
After a while, the probe sent back a picture, just as Hao Ren expected: the bottom is not an ordinary fissure, but a biological chamber.
Judging from the biological tissue around the chamber, it resembles the cavity of the firstborn's brain nucleus.
Corruption begins with brain tissue. (to be continued~^~)
