The facilities built by the guardian giants, even a ventilation duct is quite spacious for a normal-sized human.
Maybe it was Hao Ren's unreliable boss who took good care of his employees, or maybe it was the Goddess of Creation who blessed his own daughter in the sky, and the group managed to escape without any trouble. Bottom crossed the outer cordon and got into the ventilation duct leading to the control center.
The power of the Lord of Madness has infected almost everything on Amantir, and the temple and its ancillary facilities are no exception, but this infection has not affected the normal operation of these facilities, such as energy and lighting systems. The gate of the ventilation duct can still be opened, and the internal circulation system and lighting are also functioning as usual, coupled with the silence in the ventilation duct, if it is not for the depressing cold atmosphere everywhere, and the Hao Ren almost forgot that he was in the base camp of the raging minions due to the strange smell that seemed to be absent.
"This passage will be very long," Hao Ren said while walking ahead to open the way, while looking at the map projected by the data terminal. The map was provided by Salaman, and it recorded the detailed structure of Amantir before it fell— Corruptors don't need to destroy the fortress they have already obtained, so most of the areas on this structure map are still valid, but its safety factor is hard to say, "The underground structure of the planetary fortress is intricate, or the underground facilities of this thing It is the main body of the starship—we will pass through several underground factories and mechanical cabins. Although most of the routes are in the pipeline, there will still be a few sections in the middle that lack cover. One."
Vivienne said in a low voice: "This place is very close to the Great Rift Valley. The underground environment may have changed a lot. I can't fully trust the map."
"Of course," Hao Ren nodded, "It's just that we don't have anything else to use except this map."
At this time, the data terminal suddenly sounded a reminder: "Attention, there is a reaction from the Corruptor above."
Everyone shut their mouths immediately, and Vivienne waved her hand to summon a gray-black shadow. The power of the shadow covered everyone and suppressed everyone's aura reaction to a minimum.
After a while, the data terminal disarmed the alarm: "It has already passed, and other weak reactions are far away from us."
Hao Ren looked up. The dark vault above the ventilation duct blocked his view, but he knew that he was passing under a small temple. The Corruptor's response detected by the data terminal should be patrolling the small temple. Soldier: This is still a shallow area, if you don't act carefully, you may still be sensed by the enemy.
"The shadow canopy can't be used too often," Vivienne put away her shadow power after the alarm was lifted. "Although this kind of energy is difficult to detect, it is still possible to be perceived when it is used frequently."
Hao Ren nodded: "Pass through this paragraph as soon as possible."
The team continued to move forward in the underground facility. Apart from the footsteps of a group of people in the huge ventilation duct, there was only the ubiquitous low humming and the sound of air passing through certain gaps. Of course, there is no scenery worth admiring in a pipeline, and coupled with the gloomy and depressing environment here, Lily feels very uncomfortable: "I always feel creepy... I can't see people, but I feel that there are people everywhere..."
"Don't say that right now!" Nangong Wuyue immediately had goosebumps all over her body. She was crawling forward in the form of a sea snake at the moment, and the tip of her tail subconsciously straightened after hearing Lily's words, "Originally, I I feel hairy... "
Nangong Sanba frowned suddenly: "Wait a minute... Maybe it's not an illusion, there is indeed something here!"
Although Brother Sanba is the worst among the crowd, the "hunter skill" in the bloodline talent of the demon hunter gives him a good perception ability. Coupled with the fine control technology forced by his own limited strength, what is extremely difficult around him? When it comes to faint and imperceptible visions, his reaction is the fastest one.
So when he spoke, everyone immediately became nervous, and Hao Ren immediately looked at the data terminal: "Scan."
The data terminal immediately turned on all its sensors, and a light blue light spread forward along the inner wall of the ventilation pipe, while the image of the scanned results was projected above the terminal.
In the tube-shaped holographic image, there is nothing but some sporadic bright spots, and those bright spots that seem to be disturbing are actually nothing but abandoned objects that permeate the entire space and escape from the depths of Amantir. Just energy.
"This machine didn't find anything," the data terminal turned off the enhanced scanning module, "Sanba, don't you have auditory and visual hallucinations?"
"Please call me Nangong," Nangong Sanba corrected with a serious face, then frowned and shook his head, "No... I can really feel something around me, it's... a very subtle spiritual reaction, with Faint thoughts, kind of like ghosts, but more confused and feeble than ghosts."
"I feel it too," Vivienne spoke to Nangong Sanba to testify, "But my perception is also very unclear, so I can't tell what it is."
Hao Ren looked around cautiously while lowering his voice: "We haven't been found yet, so the 'thing' should not be a sentry set by the Corruptor, maybe it's the special energy emanating from the uncorrupted part of Amantil Field. Go ahead, maybe there will be something to discover."
This little episode aroused everyone's nervousness even more, even the dizzy roll stared wide-eyed and concentrated. The cat girl followed Hao Ren briskly on tiptoe. The cat girl's talent made her walk more quietly than everyone else.
But just walking like this, she stopped suddenly, and her pointed cat ears turned around vigilantly on her head: "Big cat, I heard a sound!"
"What sound?" Hao Ren stopped again, "Why didn't I hear it?"
"It came from nearby..." the cat girl knelt down and whispered while turning her ears back and forth, "it seems that something is muttering in her mouth... Did you hear that, silly cat?"
Lily didn't care what the cat girl called her, but squatted beside Roll with the same serious face, and turned her furry ears around to listen attentively. Search for any unusual noises in this underground pipe.
The low humming sound of the mechanical device and the ubiquitous airflow disrupted the clues of the sound. Hao Ren and the others could not hear anything wrong even though their six senses were sharp at this time, but the super hearing of the cat and dog combination came into play at this time. As a result, after carefully distinguishing for a minute, Lily and Gun raised their hands almost at the same time, pointing to a fork in front of them: "It's coming from there! And it's getting closer!"
Vivian immediately summoned the shadowy sky again to cover everyone's aura, and at the same time, even the faint footsteps of the people were covered up. Under such cover, Hao Ren led the team to carefully touch the branch of the ventilation pipe. mouth, and on both sides of the bifurcation are two empty pipes that look exactly the same.
Elizabeth mumbled, "It seems like there's nothing."
"It's from below." Lily reminded. After her reminder, Hao Ren noticed that there was a part of the ground here that was made of a different material from other areas. It was a rectangular metal plate with overlapping parts. The lines and raised structures seem to indicate that it is a trap that can be opened.
Nangong Wuyue immediately pressed her hand on the metal plate, and the juanjuan water flow separated from her body and penetrated into the gaps of the metal plate. Under the power of the water element, this deformable metal plate opened silently A crack was opened, and the light shone from the crack.
Sure enough, there's something down here!
Hao Ren leaned over and observed the situation below the pipe through the gap.
According to the map provided by Salaman, this place should have reached the vicinity of the Great Temple where the control center is located. There are relatively dense underground facilities here, so it is not surprising that the pipeline just passes through an underground cabin itself. There are "people" in the underground cabin. It is more normal.
What Hao Ren was really curious about was the "talking sound" that Roll heard - corrupted monsters can't talk, they don't need to talk at all, and they don't have the ability to talk.
In Amantir, a place that has fallen into madness, who can communicate with language? Could it be the higher commanders of the Corrupted Legion
Through the narrow gap on the floor, Hao Ren saw a rather huge room below. The room was brightly lit, and there were some huge humming equipment, but this bright environment could not reduce the distortion and depression of the room itself. Atmosphere: All the equipment and the ground are covered with a layer of dark red lines, which is the proof of corruption.
In the middle of the room, Hao Ren saw a strange creature.
The image of the creature made his eyes change instantly.
It was a swollen, roughly ellipsoidal, huge mass of flesh, like an inflated brain. It was fixed on a circular metal platform, and a dozen dark red flesh and blood protruded from the bottom of the "brain" Tentacles, the ends of those tentacles protrude into a circle of holes around the metal platform, and a large number of pipelines spread out below the holes, connecting various equipment in the room.
It can be seen at a glance that this "brain" is manipulating the things in the room.
And the gurgling voice that Roll heard was from this brain, and it was talking to itself.
"Landlord, landlord," Lily lowered her voice and approached, "what did you see-let me see it too?"
"I didn't expect..." Hao Ren raised his head with a dazed expression, "I almost forgot about this thing... but I didn't expect to see another one here!"
Vivian's curiosity was aroused: "What did you see?"
"It's a brain monster!" Lily poked her head up to take a look at this moment, and before Hao Ren could say anything, she suddenly raised her head and exclaimed in a low voice, "There's a brain monster down there! The kind of brain monster I saw in Siren City!!"
