Due to the limited time and the fact that the main purpose of this trip was not to study the organizational structure of the Corruption Legion, Hao Ren could not spend too much time studying those "summoning platforms", but he still roughly based on what he could observe at the bottom of the Rift Valley After guessing the number of summoning platforms set up in the entire equatorial fault zone-no doubt, he got a pretty amazing number.
Although it can't be compared with the "mechanical natural disaster" of drone groups that spread bases all over the universe, the speed at which these corrupted monsters proliferate soldiers can still be described as amazing, and their corrupted army is absolutely overwhelming in front of any mortal race. Unstoppable frenzy, no wonder Salaman and the Guardian Legion led by him will retreat steadily in the thousands of years of war, and finally they can only rely on Agudal's doomsday weapon and the super shield of the hub itself to barely survive. Fate—in fact, it can be said that if it were not for the doomsday weapon "Final Torrent" that can reverse the battlefield, and the remaining defensive power of the hub itself, the Guardian Legion would have been bulldozed by monsters long ago.
Vivian guessed: "Those brain monsters... They are connected to the summoning platform, so are they the commanders behind the corrupted legion?"
"It looks more like I'm hosting a summoning ceremony," Yi'zaks had a different opinion, "The function of those platforms should only be to gather and amplify energy to provide energy for the summoning ceremony—I'm a demon, for this kind of The aura emitted by the ceremony is more sensitive."
Elizabeth pushed Yzaks' leg with the small horns on her head: "Dad, the worldview here is different from our hometown, your experience may not be very useful."
Y'zaks was dismantled by his daughter, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "I'm just offering an opinion, you can just look at the reference."
"I also think those brain monsters are just presiding over the summoning ceremony," Hao Ren voiced his support to Y'zaks at this time, "Do you still remember the brain monster we saw when we sneaked into the pipeline? If If some brain monsters were in charge of commanding the troops, I think the person in that room was more like a commander."
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren: "Is there any evidence?"
"I noticed that there were some imaging devices in that room, and some of the images still showed the situation of the drone swarm in outer space," Hao Ren explained, "Compared to the summoning platforms in the rift below, the room before It's more like a command room."
"Anyway, no matter how these monsters increase their troops, it has nothing to do with the goal of our operation." The data terminal floated up, and it projected a road map. And the missing part has been partially completed at this moment, and a short red line is connecting the platform where everyone is on and another entrance not far away, "According to the calculation of this machine, we have to go over there, from Once the gates are re-entered into the plumbing system, you can get back on the right track—and then go straight to the Amantir crystal deposit.”
Guided by the data terminal, Hao Ren's line of sight moved slowly on one side of the cliff, and soon found the location of the entrance indicated on the holographic projection: it was just below the platform under everyone's feet, a straight line away About 500 meters, it is a small and inconspicuous platform.
And between the two platforms, there is a completely unobstructed cliff, and there is no place to stay.
The 500-meter cliff is not a problem for anyone here, but the unobstructed nature of this cliff is the biggest trouble: here is no longer a ventilation duct without monitoring and guards, but an open In the outdoor space, new corrupted monsters fly out of the rift valley every second, and there are still aberrations and corrupted giants patrolling over the rift valley, so there is a great risk of being discovered if you want to go directly.
However, there is no other way to choose: the data terminal sensed the surrounding situation through radar, and found no other alternative channels.
"We can only go from here," Hao Ren made up his mind after observing the action patterns of the corrupted monsters, "the new monsters in this area will fly up every three minutes, and the troops patrolling in the sky will also have a wave." The short time difference can be used, coupled with Vivienne's shadowy sky, we should be careful not to be discovered."
Considering that the fluctuation caused by space teleportation is the most easily exposed thing, the teleportation function of the data terminal cannot be used here, and Nangong Sanba's natural teleportation ability as a demon hunter is also prohibited, so the group can only use it individually. Each of them crossed the 500-meter distance in their own way: fortunately, the target platform was obliquely below here, which reduced the difficulty of crossing a lot.
Vivien first refreshed the duration of the shadow sky state for everyone individually, and then disintegrated into a large group of small bats, easily crossing this "completely inconspicuous" journey in her eyes, followed by Lily—her The one that jumped straight over, didn't even use the run-up...
Then there was Rolling Meow, the cat girl ran lightly along the cliff to the opposite side, all the way as if walking on the ground, Nangong Sanba was rolled up by his sister and threw it on the platform below the slope after being rolled up ten times, Nangong Wuyue simply threw herself Liquefied, it flowed to the opposite side along the stone crevice on the cliff...
The methods of a group of guys are really varied, which opened Hao Ren's eyes.
The people in the team crossed the distance one by one without any danger, and Hao Ren arrived at the opposite side at the penultimate: he also jumped over like Lily, except that he took more than a dozen steps to run up.
The last one to come was Y'zaks. Hao Ren nervously followed the movements of the patrolling monsters in the sky, while silently counting the "floating" time of the new monsters below, until Y'zaks made a heavy "boom" After landing on the platform, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The timing seemed just right.
"Catch up." The fluff on Lily's ears also slowly calmed down. She had breathed a sigh of relief just now: Although Vivienne's shadowy canopy is very powerful, it only covers the breath and partially covers the vision. If you really meet those monsters head-on at close range, you can't hide it at all, "Come on, come on, the gate over here is open, no one is inside..."
As she spoke, she looked around vigilantly, and almost at the same time she turned her head to look towards the direction of the rift, a dark red monster with a dozen tentacles fluttering below, which seemed to have an inflated brain, suddenly emerged from the platform. Come up!
A brain monster, it and Lily looked at each other, only three meters away from each other.
The husky girl's tail exploded on the spot, and her voice even changed a little in an emergency: "Landlord! Brain monster!"
Everyone on the platform has also noticed this brain monster that suddenly surfaced. Hao Ren felt his scalp tense, but the conditioned reflex cultivated by facing unexpected situations for a long time made him raise his head immediately. The inspector was equipped with a gun, and before he had time to think about it, he aimed and fired.
The brain monster seemed to be taken aback by the sudden sight in front of him, its fluttering tentacles were even a little sluggish, but the moment Hao Ren raised his weapon, the monster reacted at an unreasonable speed. Dodge the ballistic in a near-teleport before shooting, and pounce on the crowd on the platform!
"Get rid of it!" Yizaks yelled, his fists were filled with fiery light, and he rushed up like a humanoid chariot, and closely behind him was the holy silver shot by Nangong Sanba. Crossbow arrows, followed by Vivienne's lightning ball and Elizabeth's fel fireball—all kinds of attacks instantly blocked all the evasion routes of the brain monster, and the entire platform was enveloped by the sudden burst of various energies heat wave.
"Be careful with its tentacles, its tentacles can cut space!" Hao Ren still remembered the first time he fought against the brain monster in Holletta, and he joined the attack while loudly reminding the inexperienced Roll, "Wei Wei An, keep an eye on the space around the platform to prevent this guy from escaping!"
The brain monster obviously underestimated these sudden intruders before, or it didn't know the details of these guys who had never seen it in the Holy Land, so it fell into a disadvantage soon after the fight because it couldn't cope. , being besieged by a group of creatures that looked like "mortals" to such an extent angered this ancient and powerful monster, it shook the air and let out a roar, and immediately, everyone around it felt a strong dizziness hit their brains .
Along with vertigo, there are various negative emotions and hallucinations.
This is the ability that brain monsters are best at and the most difficult to guard against: mental attack!
But Hao Ren had already guarded against this move. His mental defense specially strengthened by Transcrow 12345 had even resisted the nightmare attack of Lochmarton, so he was only a little dizzy in front of the mind shock from the brain monster. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he refocused and shot again at the moment when the brain monster had just released its skills and was slow to move.
This time, the monster couldn't escape.
A bright blue light beam hit a swollen sarcoma on its surface, and then a large piece of crystallized structure quickly spread along the sarcoma to the monster's whole body. It was unable to maintain its suspended state, so it issued a There was an angry scream, and then fell uncontrollably to the ground.
And at the same time it screamed, Hao Ren saw circles of translucent ripples visible to the naked eye spreading out from the roots of the brain monster's tentacles. !
But just before he took any more actions, those ripples suddenly seemed to have hit some invisible barrier, and they were disturbed into a mess of clutter in mid-air, and disappeared in the next second.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, but before he had time to think, he felt a huge force coming from behind: Lily grabbed his arm and ran towards the gate: "The wind is tight, shit!"
A group of people finally entered the new ventilation duct, and they finally stopped after confirming that they were far enough away from the entrance and exit.
Hidden behind a corner, Lily poked her head and looked at the direction the group of people came in, and took a few breaths before she calmed down: "Huhu—it seems that no one is following..."
"Scared me to death!" Nangong Wuyue lay on the ground like a dehydrated salted fish, "Just now I thought we were all exposed, and I thought we were going to die."
"Did you see the last scene just now?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian, "What signal is that brain monster trying to send..."
"Then it was intercepted," Vivienne nodded, "I saw it too."
Hao Ren frowned: "What the hell is that?"
Y'zaks also saw the scene just now, and obviously cared about the same: "I don't know, but it's obviously some kind of energy field, and...it's not the same thing as the energy fields on those monsters."
Then the three of them looked at each other, and Hao Ren couldn't help muttering, "Is there any power on this planet other than us?"
