A ferocious fire-bellied monitor lizard was half lying on the ground. Even so, it was as tall as a person. Under its belly was slowly flowing lava. The nearly 1,000-degree high-temperature lava not only did not destroy its limbs, but provided it with energy to survive.
This is a very suitable battlefield for the Fire Belly Monitor.
As far as the eye can see, dark red lava can be seen everywhere. Part of it flows down from the mountain, and the other part simply gushes out from between the severely cracked strata. Although it is not as powerful as an explosive eruption, the scene of the ground cracking everywhere, as if it may collapse at any time, is equally thrilling.
In a similar environment, the fire-bellied monitor lizard has killed countless intruders, and its total size can even fill the crater behind it. Almost all prey cannot resist the fire poison it sprays, nor can it resist the destructive lava it controls.
But at this moment, it had not been able to cause any fatal damage to the metal creation in front of it. Instead, it had its tail and one forelimb cut off, losing most of its mobility.
The lava fire light intersects with the gray skylight, but it is difficult to illuminate the specially processed armor coating. It seems that there is always a vague dark area. This gray-black metal creation is only about twenty meters away from it. It could have pounced on it before, but now it can only desperately accumulate strength, absorb the heat energy of the lava with its special abnormally evolved abdomen, and then open its mouth wide...
"Buzz!"
The heavy alloy short javelin carried the electric light, penetrated through the fire-bellied dragon's mouth, and penetrated half of its back. It exploded like a high-explosive ammunition, slurry bursting out, and scales flying everywhere.
Immediately, blazing electric fire sprayed out from the monitor lizard's mouth, eye sockets, wounds and even the cracks in the scales. The two-ton fire-bellied monitor lizard shrank in a circle in the blink of an eye. Its special body structure evolved from aberrations was also completely destroyed by this round of killing.
The high temperature of the lava was finally revealed at this moment, swallowing up half of the monitor lizard's body in just one breath. However, in the burning flames of the giant lizard, there was still a bloody light.
Electromagnetic Striker No. 1 silently stepped forward, stepping on the flat head of the fire-bellied monitor lizard and the slowly flowing magma, towards the top of the hill.
The body modified based on the Sergeant X-2 model does not have the ability to withstand lava for a long time. However, when the high-temperature lava tried to swallow the metal feet, it was repelled by an invisible force and slowly detoured away.
In this way, No. 1 crossed the fire-bellied monitor's defense line and stepped onto the top of the erupting volcano. Now, the volcanic area presented in the optical imaging system is a real volcanic area.
Within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, there are dozens of large and small craters, at least 70 to 80% of which are emitting thick smoke, and even lava is overflowing. Dark red lines of fire crisscrossed the ground, cutting the area into pieces.
After killing the fire-bellied dragon, Ronan had actually completed the first stage of his goal. Although the "guardians" who retreated under the control of the Vulcan Ants have gathered in the center and rebuilt the defense line, they are limited by their own conditions. Most of them cannot get into the ground and bathe in the water. Lava, entering the more core areas.
No. 1 is fine.
Under Ronan's control, this combat machine, protected by a strong magnetic field shield, stepped directly into the boiling lava pool below - of course, it was just passing by, and soon it locked on a gap somewhere in the inner wall of the volcano, booming. A section of recently solidified rock was opened, revealing a narrow crack illuminated by lava.
“The civil engineering in Moron is pretty good.”
What should be praised even more is that Ronan's meticulous sensor reconnaissance in recent days has allowed him to maximize the use of terrain factors to open up this "subway line" and bypass the congestion on the ground.
No. 1 is not the only passerby in this narrow passage.
Underfoot, the lava looked like a flowing stream, extending further into the fissure. In the hissing flowing lava, densely packed Vulcan ants lined up in columns. Using the power of the lava, they accelerated their swimming at a speed not much slower than a normal person walking.
Vulcan ants do not have complete individual thinking, but they have a strong group consciousness. Ronan could feel the faint evil thoughts coming from the void, but this group of Vulcan Ants, still under a high degree of discipline, ignored the damage caused to the team by the stepping of the combat machine and continued to flow back to the core area.
The ant colony here has not yet finished its formation, and there is another "buzzing" sound in the dusty air, as if locusts are passing by.
A red cloud of blood suddenly poured out of the rock gap on the side. There are hundreds of thousands of winged Vulcan ants. They do not have the ability to fly long distances, but they can still move forward at a faster speed in such a narrow passage.
This speed was almost the same as the advancing speed of No. 1, so of course No. 1 was submerged in the blood cloud.
In the long and narrow rock gap, lava and blood clouds extend all the way forward. In a certain section in the middle, electric fire flashes irregularly. This is a phenomenon caused by the electromagnetic shield repelling and killing the surrounding Vulcan ants.
The surroundings are densely packed with flying ants, and there is lava under their feet. They are remote-controlled combat machines, not me. Otherwise, Ronan really can't guarantee whether he can maintain a stable mentality.
The same Vulcan Ants crawl in lava and fly in rock crevices, but they are quite different in size and body structure.
But in a volcanic area, this is not surprising. According to Ronan's two-day reconnaissance, within a radius of 200 kilometers, there are hundreds or even thousands of Vulcan ant nests, widely distributed. Inside each ant nest, the direction of distortion evolution is somewhat different, and due to the lifespan of Vulcan ants, It is short-lived and the speed of upgrading is extremely fast, so differences can be quickly formed in a short period of time.
This is simply a large laboratory of genetic mutations.
The "branch" of this wilderness laboratory each has its own scope of activities, has a strong sense of territoriality, and sometimes even fights with each other. But they all have the same source, and they all belong to a "den of aberration." There is a direct subordinate relationship between the headquarters and the branches.
Now that the headquarters is in trouble, all branches will come back to help.
Ronan only had a few days of observation, and he still didn't know what these Vulcan ants would do when they got together.
But he didn't want to add any more variables to his plan, so he controlled No. 1 to speed up. In the blood cloud that filled the rock crevices, the frequency of lightning flashes increased significantly, and a continuous crackling sound was heard. The forward speed of No. 1 has been increased three times, and the strength of the electromagnetic shield has also been increased accordingly to prepare for possible attacks at any time. underground "guardians".
"Electromagnetic shield", a high-end technology that has not yet been realized by Earth's technology, is formed by the reintegration of seed imprints implanted in combat machines. As a result, a strong electromagnetic field is formed with Electromagnetic Forward 1 as the fulcrum, permeating the surrounding area, and being able to retract and expand freely.
This is the prototype of the extraordinary realm derived from Jintong. Being able to achieve this effect proves that the potential of seed imprints has entered a new level. Under this stimulation, the corresponding information in the Shenhuan and Virtual Brain systems were also activated one after another, providing Ronan with more detailed and comprehensive application technology.
Of course, the carriers of these application technologies are all incomprehensible hieroglyphics. Ronan also relied on the more wonderful word "I" to decipher part of it.
The Divine Hoop, the only trophy after killing Jin Tong, must have caused a lot of trouble to its former owner.
Under such circumstances, he was able to break into the extraordinary realm. I have to say that Jin Tong is really a genius.
High-level skills require high-level consumption. In the gear underground laboratory two thousand kilometers away, Ronan adjusted his breathing in the simulation chamber to adapt to the increasing pressure.
Currently, in the driving force of Electromagnetic Pioneer 1, the energy and transmission system built into the body have taken a back seat. The main source of power comes from the air-to-air interference of Ronan's soul power. It is only the electromagnetic shield that consumes the sky. In addition, the natural loss of long-range interference is also added.
With Ronan's soul power reserves, it was still quite difficult. Fortunately, in the process of approaching the core area, there are traces of wonderful energy seeping from the depths of the void, and they are getting clearer and stronger.
"Okay, very good!" Ronan sighed. This supplement is nothing compared to the overall consumption, but it is a very positive feedback.
There is no energy in the world that is like water without a source or a tree without roots. It must have a source and process of transformation. Ronan knew the whole process very well, which made him feel more confident and excited.
The speed of No. 1 has increased again. It is not only advancing towards the set goal, but also tracing the source of the energy transformation.
About ten kilometers further forward, No. 1 has replaced two stratigraphic fissure tunnels. One of them was a shortcut just created by the earthquake. It was precisely because of this timely change that it escaped the guards' more crazy killing and interception. Even so, No. 1's left arm was finally burned and deformed by a tyrannical mutant that could turn into lava. A large piece of the armor on the chest was also blown off, exposing the deformed components inside.
As for the narrow passage behind, a layer of burned ashes has been laid out, slowly rolling along with the flowing lava.
At this time, there was at least a 90-meter vertical gap between No. 1 and the surface, and the roars of the aberrations had disappeared. However, the violent stratigraphic turmoil caused by volcanoes and earthquakes still filled the passage with noise, eventually forming a turbid The rumbling sound.
Ronan handed over the analysis of environmental sounds to the auxiliary computing system to avoid terrain changes that could cause devastating damage. As for himself, he focused all his attention into the depths of the surrounding dark void, exploring the abyss area.
There, a faint curse sound was swirling and continuing. That is the sound of music created when the energy turbulence in the abyss passes through the special structural form.
As the output gradually stabilized, the mantra became clearer and louder. Later, it was like a majestic and even fanatical chorus:
"Blood, blood, blood!"
"Fire, fire, fire!"
It was in this beginningless and endless chorus that the void and material levels of the abyss set off violent waves one after another.
