The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 1769: ancient legacy

Views:

A gigantic monster with a width comparable to that of an aircraft carrier exploded at high altitude, emitting endless light and heat, and tens of thousands of wreckage fragments swept towards the ground like a violent storm. Just like a saturation bombing, in just a few seconds, the entire woodland was filled with deafening roars and carpet-like chain explosions. In such a storm, everyone can't see, can't hear, like a boat in a tsunami, helpless.

However, the divine power barrier left by Leah proved the learning achievements of the goddess of creation in the face of such an impact. Although the world collapsed outside, the barrier itself remained unshakable—although the people in it were greatly frightened, but for veterans As far as people are concerned, fright at least cannot kill people.

When everything finally calmed down, the entire scorching land was completely changed. Except for a small area covered by the divine power barrier, the surrounding ground dropped by more than two meters as a whole. The wreckage and fragments of Lord Gorgon were scattered in those huge impact craters. They still carried astonishingly high temperatures, and they were so distorted that they couldn't see their original appearance at all. The astonishing power of the self-destruction was evident.

Perhaps this kind of self-destruction is even one of the offensive methods of the Gorgon Demon itself.

Lily was so frightened by the big explosion that her ears and tail popped out, and she quickly took it back before Charlemagne and his party noticed, and then turned her head to search for Hao Ren's figure: "The landlord's bombing is so lively this time." … What about the landlord? It won’t be blown up along with it, right…”

Vivienne glared at Goumeizi: "Don't make trouble, with the nature of his job and his design, he can die in any way in this life, except being bombed to death."

As if to verify this conclusion, she heard Hao Ren's voice behind her just as she finished speaking, "That's right, it's Vivian who understands me..."

Vivian turned around quickly, and checked Hao Ren who had just come out of the teleportation beam with concern: "Are you okay? Why did it explode suddenly? Was this also your plan from the beginning?"

"What's the plan? If I really want to kill that thing, I still have to go in for a long time by myself? It's easier to just call Nolan out and kill the enemy." Hao Ren coughed and exhaled a puff of black smoke—even though he wasn't involved It exploded, but he sucked in a lot of exhaust gas rolled up with the portal, "It was a total accident, this thing is too gassy, I just touched it, and it exploded... But it's okay, a total of two Gore Lord Gong, Leah will leave a... "

While talking, Hao Ren looked up at the giant insect-shaped Gorgon Lord in the sky on the other side of the forest, but before he finished speaking, he saw a series of bright lightning flashes on the main body of the giant insect leader. Then a crimson flame erupted from the alloy monster's body.

"...The whole body..." Hao Ren popped out the last two words out of habit, and then jumped three feet high, "Why did this explode!!"

Lord Gorgon's self-destruction was like detonating a battleship at close range, and the entire Scorching Land was ravaged again. After the smoke of the explosion finally cleared, Leah was already standing in front of Hao Ren in embarrassment.

"I don't know what's going on," the little Goddess of Creation looked a little embarrassed, "I just patted it a few times, and then it shattered..."

It turned out that she didn't cause the lord Gorgon to explode, but simply because she didn't control her power well

Hao Ren sighed: "Hey... don't say anything, go back and do all the big questions after the third lesson of self-control..."

Liya immediately looked hopeless, but then quickly added as if remembering something: "But I brought out something! Although I don't know what it is for, I think it should be very important!"

Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment: something that Leah intuitively thinks is very important

"What is it? Let me see it!"

"That's it... It's installed in a place like the main control room. I don't know how to disassemble it, so I roughly cut it off with the surrounding shelves," Liya said while opening the different space. A large piece of metal debris that was obviously dismantled violently was placed in front of Hao Ren, "Do you think it can still be used?"

It was a metal structure about half a meter high, with a roughly complete, hemispherical silver-white main body, and a large number of cables and brackets extending along the main body. Although it has been treated roughly, the general structure seems to be still Very good.

At this moment, Charlemagne and Evanna finally calmed down from the state of shock. They stared wide-eyed and small-eyed for a while, and then looked at the large twisted and tangled metal block that Leah threw out in surprise: "This is... something taken from the Gorgon Lord?"

"That's right, their stomachs are also made of metal," Hao Ren said while squatting down next to the wreckage with an excited expression. What Leah brought out was a pleasant surprise, because the data terminal almost It was scanned in an instant and found that the device had a structure similar to a memory and a reader: this was the storage device that Hao Ren had not been able to find from the "manta ray" before, "Let me see... it looks complete from the outside." , maybe it still works! The terminal—"

"Understood, this machine is a busy life..." The data terminal flew to the metal wreckage while muttering, and established a temporary data link with the latter, "It can't be helped, who made this machine perform better... Hey, this thing is a bit interesting, let this machine study it carefully... "

Seeing the data terminal start to analyze the wreckage in the scorched earth, Aiwenna couldn't help but look nervously at the dark forest in the distance: "Should we... just start working on this battlefield? Why don't we find a hidden place first... "

"It's okay, after Lord Gorgon's death, all the fission bodies were paralyzed, and the previous battle expelled all possible monsters nearby, this place is much safer than other places," Kaim's voice came from the side Come on, he looked curiously at the memory wreckage on the ground and the data terminal lying on the wreckage, "This is... what?"

"Are you talking about this brick or this lump of iron under the brick?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "This brick is my personal equipment, but don't call it a brick, it has a big temper; and this lump The iron lump was removed from the body of the Gorgon lord."

"Is it...organs in Lord Gorgon's body?" Kem looked incredulously, "I've never... seen such a thing."

Hao Ren felt incredible: "You have dealt with the Gorgon demon for so many years, have you never obtained a similar wreckage sample?"

"The ones wandering outside are usually the middle and lower level units among Gorgon demons. Lord-level guys will hardly leave their lairs without permission. Every time a Lord-level Gorgon attacks, it will be a tragic battle," Kem frowned. Frowning, "And even if it can be solved, it will be completely shattered in the self-detonation, and the remaining part will be burned to the point where it cannot be analyzed at all, so in the long war, we can capture very few samples of the lord. Two Gorgon lords fell here today, this is simply a fantasy."

"In my opinion, these so-called Gorgon demons are actually out-of-control ancient weapons, and our World Tree Temple is particularly good at dealing with this kind of 'relic'," Hao Ren shook his head, "But these are hard to explain to you... Terminal , did you analyze anything?"

"Damn chicken, just now you said that this machine is a brick - can a brick help you do so many things!" The data terminal flew into the air full of resentment, and suddenly projected a large number of garbled codes and completely indistinguishable words. Image fragments, "Most of the data is damaged, which is expected. The database is scrapped, the controller is dead, and the program is chaotic. That's why these 'Gorgon' actions are so irrational. But after removing most of the garbled characters, This machine found the only piece of useful information."

Hao Ren's eyes lit up: "What information?"

"Judging from the log time, it should be the last external communication record received by these Gorgon before they lost control." The data terminal presented the message while talking:

"... all destroyed, the enemy army is approaching the Interstellar Fortress of Turk, this fortress will explode after XXX... After that, you will be the last soldiers.

"...Glory to Emperor Tiamat, long live my people."

There were only two incomplete sentences that looked like last words, which made Hao Ren frown: "Is that all the information?"

"With this information, it's better than nothing," Vivian said next to her, "At least I know that the so-called Gorgon demon is indeed an out-of-control weapon left by an ancient legion, and I know that they once had a 'reminder' Amat the Great'."

Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head hopelessly and glanced at the Charlemagne brothers and sisters who were listening to the scriptures all the time: "I guess you don't know what Emperor Tiamat means..."

However, to Hao Ren's surprise, Aiwenna actually showed a hesitant expression: "Uh, actually... I have indeed heard of this name..."

Hao Ren didn't expect to hear any valuable information from the other party at all, but at this moment he was taken aback: "...What?! Have you heard of it?"

"In the royal library of Yisu, there is an ancient elf prophecy book passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Yisu, called "Record of Origin", which says that the world has been destroyed twelve times and reborn twelve times, leading The culprit who destroyed the world twelve times was the great tyrant who was the ancient and the source of origin. The tyrant was named Tiamat. He had a body like a mountain, and molten copper and lead flowed in his blood vessels. Filled with rage from the very beginning, he destroyed himself in rage, and in his final rage he unleashed twelve of the most diabolical curses on the world, and each curse caused the world to be destroyed once..."

"Twelve times?!" After listening to Aiwenna's narration, Hao Ren's eyes widened. "It really said that in the book?!"

"Yes... yes," Evanna was taken aback, and her tone involuntarily weakened a little, "That's what it said in the Genesis Record, but although it was stored in the Royal Library of Ysu, it was listed as They belong to the category of 'Strange Tales', which are absurd and uninhibited claims derived from the primitive religious beliefs of the Elf Empire in ancient times, and are not recognized by scholars."

"Is that so..." Of course, Hao Ren would not believe Aiwenna's last few words, but from those few words, he could also judge that even if there are specious prehistoric records like "Genesis" in this world , I am afraid that it has been mixed with myths and legends for a long time, twisted into absurd stories that are completely impossible to sort out, so I have no interest in continuing to ask questions for the time being.
