Song Lan deeply felt the malice of the "mine" world.
He originally thought that those who were forced into the "mine" would eventually die under the fangs and claws of the aberrant structure, but the truly terrifying and dangerous thing about the "mine" is that it is a never-ending cycle.
Even if you are as heroic and skilled as the commander of the First Army, you are likely to lose yourself in cycles and endless fights.
In fact, without Night Heron's telepathy, they might not be able to discover the weirdness of the "mine" space for a while. The environment inside is too similar, and from time to time there are distorted structures and malicious consciousness. Attack makes it difficult for people who go deep here to find that they are in an endless cycle.
By the time they realize this, they are likely to be in a situation where they are out of ammunition and food, and at the end of their rope.
Because for unknown reasons, the distorted structure and consciousness will be "refreshed", Song Lan feels that this seems to involve the power of another dimension, and it may be difficult to achieve this with human power.
According to Song Lan's observation, if you want to know the secret of the "mine", you must have the invincible psychic ability like the queen of the swarm, and be accompanied by a "humanoid radar" that can maintain telepathy with people outside the "mine" ”, when you meet these conditions, it is only the beginning of decryption.
"Yelu, has the Archbishop revealed her abilities to you?"
Faced with this sudden change, people from three different forces sat together and discussed their current situation.
"ability?"
Yelu looked at Song Lan with confused eyes, "What is the ability?"
"Ability is..."
"The followers of the Lunar Eclipse Sect are different from real psychics. They do not have special abilities."
In order to prevent this combat meeting from becoming a small class on the basics of psychic powers, the commander of the First Army interrupted Ye Lu and explained to Song Lan, "You can understand them as some individuals with psychic powers, Hellface She is just the one with the highest psychic strength among them, and she has not shown any ability in the past wars."
The archbishop has always been the focus of their attention, and their understanding of Heliphis is far greater than that of the "Angel of Death".
And this is why they believe that the Lunar Eclipse Cult believers are not true psychics. They are just infected with some kind of "consciousness virus" unknown to humans. One of the characteristics of the virus is that they can gain psychic powers, but this The true purpose of the virus has never been a gift, but to allow them to transform into twisted mutants at a necessary point in time.
The aberrant structures they encountered along the way were the complete transformations of the believers.
With stronger vitality and more ferocious aggression, their former human identities can only be vaguely seen from their outlines. They may be miners, explorers, or they may be those who are deemed to have committed the most evil crimes by the Lunar Eclipse Sect. .
"Even if Helifaith was a true psychic, she had never demonstrated her abilities in any public setting."
The commander of the First Army said in a determined tone.
His tone also made Song Lan fall into deep thought. Ever since Longinus appeared, he felt that there seemed to be more and more people with the same type of ability as him. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the principle of making sincere friends and put them aside. His true abilities are hidden, so that he always has to face some weird abilities that he has never seen before.
Here he was going to criticize the former dean of Wisteria Academy by name, who had not yet had time to ask his name. Not only did he hide his true abilities, but he also used students to spread extremely misleading information to the outside world.
Isn't this the same as what he did to the Foster family?
After Song Lan condemned Longinus, the former principal and the archbishop, he had to refocus his attention on the problems they faced.
They knew so little information, and there were many contradictory details.
Assuming that Heliface's ability is to circulate the space in an area, then what about those distorted structures that are constantly "refreshed"?
"The loop of the road in the 'mine' is about an hour's journey, and then it will return to the original point, which is the area under the platform. At this time, the aberration structures that have been destroyed will be 'resurrected'."
Lu Xiang mused, "Maybe the space inside the 'mine' is repeated."
"No, it's not a repeat!"
What she didn't expect was that Ye Lu, who was wandering outside, suddenly said something. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she pointed to the empty stone platform next to the blood pool and said, "Those lizards from before are gone. ”
This happens to be the place where they "explored geology" before.
Song Lan found the traces he had left on the stalactites above his head, so they speculated that the terrain here was actually repetitive.
It was precisely because she believed Song Lan's judgment that she carefully searched for the lizard she had held in her mouth before.
The lizard is sweet in the mouth, and its texture is much softer than minerals. It is no different from a lollipop.
Lu Xiang scared her before, causing her to accidentally let the lizard slip into the blood pool. When she returned here this time, the lizard never appeared again.
This disappointed Night Heron.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the three people's meeting to quietly put the lizard into her mouth.
"It's indeed missing."
Song Lan was startled.
However, what he was referring to was not the accidental phenomenon described by Ye Lu. After Ye Lu opened his mouth, he subconsciously deployed his spiritual energy, and was surprised to find that not only the lizards had "disappeared", but also the two he had detected before. Nearly half of more than a dozen unknown species have disappeared.
Song Lan speculated that this may be because the news that night herons like to put small animals into their mouths to taste the taste spread among them.
The terrain here has not changed, and the stalactites above their heads still retain the fingerprints left by his last "geological exploration". If they move forward for a while, they will return to the original point below the platform and face Chengdu again. A group of distorted structures...
So the question is, where did those little animals go in this circular and closed space?
"Night Heron, where did that lizard go just now?"
"There!"
Night Heron looked longingly at the blood pool with suspicious bubbles rolling around. After tasting the liquid inside once, she developed a strong resistance to the blood pool, so she had no intention of chasing the lizard after it jumped into the blood pool. .
She felt that no matter how delicious something was, it would become heinous after being soaked in a pool of blood.
"That's it, that's it!"
After staring at the blood pool for half a minute, Song Lan finally showed an expression of realization, "Yelu, you are really a little genius!"
"ah?"
Ye Heron raised his head, his eyes even more blank.
"You eat well, you should eat more small animals in the future!"
If Ye Lu hadn't suddenly mentioned this, Song Lan wouldn't have had the time to use his spiritual energy to observe those small animals, let alone discover the secret that more than half of the species had disappeared from the mine.
"This is the way out of this 'mine'!"
He pointed to the billowing bubbles, which at first glance looked like pools of blood filled with highly toxic substances.
There was a liquid surging in it that could disgust even the night herons who came, and as the strategist of the insect swarm, he once again lived up to expectations and cracked the secret.
"However, to test this theory, I need a volunteer."
This excited voice echoed in the "mine" for a long time, but everyone present looked aside in unison, even the brave commander of the First Army was no exception.
"Yelu, do you have anything to say?"
"I……"
Ye Lu looked at Song Lan, then at the pool of blood rolling with bubbles, "I have a stomachache!"
