A group of six people slowly walked towards the inside of the mountain.
The entrance of the cave is like a long, narrow and smiling mouth, swallowing everyone up bit by bit.
Standing on the huge hollow ground and observing carefully, a few people easily discovered many valuable clues.
First of all, there are no traces of moss or shade-loving plants growing on the top, sides and bottom of the cave, indicating that this place was originally a natural space inside the mountain without enough moisture, light and other conditions for the growth of shade-loving plants.
Secondly, there are no traces of cave creatures on the ground, such as bat feces, indicating that this huge cave was originally isolated from the outside world.
Finally, several people could tell that there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air, which showed that the bottom of the cave was quite deep, and there were even traces of volcanic and magma activity.
When Wei Ling, Li Lingyou, Shou Gong and Xiao Duhuo went to the bottom of the Abyss of Sighs, there was magma activity that had never solidified. The aura of the abyss was very memorable.
Of course, due to the large number of rebels and pursuing sergeants and mages who had trampled on them, there were a large number of complex footprints and a small number of corpses among the sharp and messy stones on the ground.
A few people remained unmoved and moved forward cautiously.
The light became dimmer and gradually became darker.
The gecko still lit a small lamp on his forehead to give the other people some basic lighting.
As a few people went deeper, the space inside the cave became more and more empty, and the occasional sound of stones being stepped on under their feet would bring long-lasting reverberation.
The cave went all the way down, dry and quiet, except for the slight breathing and footsteps of a few people, there was no sound.
As he walked, Wei Ling noticed that Yuan Bao had subconsciously grabbed the corner of Wei Ling's clothes.
He still had the same childish nature as before, Wei Ling secretly laughed in his heart.
It's really interesting to say that although Yuan Bao is a powerful mid-level warlock who can transform into ferocious beasts, he is not calm in his heart. He is like a half-grown boy, still a little timid.
As they traveled quickly, it felt like the distance had left the mountain and entered the underground. The air pressure and temperature were rising, and the sulfur content in the air also increased significantly.
However, the strange thing is that the underground hollow space has become larger, and the ground under your feet has become no longer rocky, but filled with various rock fragments, just like the Gobi Desert outside.
The lights on the weapons and supply platforms of many sergeants who died in the pursuit and counterattack are still shining, shooting strong or weak beams in all directions, cutting the darkness in this huge underground space into dim slits. contour.
It was not until the six people walked for two hours that they had reached nearly 20,000 meters underground. What they saw made them a little unbelievable.
The underground space can no longer be said to be grand, it is simply another world.
The dome made of rock formations has no supporting columns, but there are no signs of collapse.
The ground has turned into flat gravel, which is soft and hot when stepped on.
The temperature of the air is quite high, and natural humans cannot live in such a world for a long time.
The strangest thing is that there is a faint scarlet light in the distance slightly downward.
Welling looked carefully and found that these shimmers were naturally emitted by some ores at high temperatures.
Wang Mantuo was already a little dumbfounded and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"It turns out that it is said that there are huge holes underground in some areas of the mother planet. It turns out to be true."
"Brother Wang, it's better to switch to an energy body, otherwise it will be too hard."
Yuan Bao gave Wang Mantuo advice.
"No way, Yuanbao, I am a fire spirit warlock. I am not afraid of this high temperature."
"Look at that huge rock!"
Welling discovered a stone dozens of meters high in front of him. It was outlined by the faint light in the distance and peeled out of the darkness.
Several people quickly ran under the boulder, and the scene in front of them was stunned.
This is not a boulder tens of meters high, but a huge human figure with a crude and minimalist shape. It only has a head and its body cannot be seen.
I don’t know whether it’s because the stone statue only has a head, or because the body is buried under the gravel.
At this moment, the gecko used over-the-horizon images to show everyone more images ahead.
The underground space has turned into a plain with no visible edges, still extending downwards, and there is no end in sight.
Similarly, there are many huge head stone statues in the distance, scattered irregularly in the distance.
In the distance, there is scarlet mist lingering.
Judging from the composition of the fog, in addition to conventional atmospheric components, there are also methane, ammonia, sulfur gas, and some unknown gases and dust.
On this vast plain, there are various crashed small vehicles scattered everywhere, and some vehicles are still emitting black smoke.
The Sergeant Helbang who entered this place, the federal mage group who assisted in the battle, and the armed personnel who defected were almost all turned into corpses, lying dead in various directions in various unimaginable ways.
The most bizarre thing is that none of these corpses are facing the direction they came from, they are all facing into the distance.
Facing this nightmare-like scene, Welling's expression became serious:
"You all can't move on!"
"But, my seventh brother is still inside..."
Wang Mantuo's face became ugly, and he had an ominous premonition.
"Let's look at the two corpses and analyze the cause of their death."
Li Lingyou also turned his body into energy and floated into the distance.
Several people followed and carefully examined several Helbang police members who were standing next to each other.
These dead sergeants seemed to have died very quickly, and there were no signs of struggle on the ground around them.
They all have federal-style weapons on their bodies, which can supposedly effectively protect their fragile bodies, but several holes in their bodies attracted the attention of Welling and others.
On the weapon penetrated by an unknown force, the hole was very smooth, leaving no traces of cracking inside, and no signs of metal melting. It was as if the original material in the round hole disappeared in an instant.
The sergeant's body corresponding to the hole in the vehicle, the entire small cylindrical body disappeared in the same strange way, and then blood overflowed from the hole, covering the body and the inside of the weapon.
This method of massacre is a bit like penetrating injuries caused by high-energy laser weapons.
However, unlike the damage caused by laser weapons, no high-temperature burn marks were found on the edges of the holes in the body.
Welling instantly deduced the scene before their death based on the height, location, hole location, and fall location of their vehicles:
More than a thousand police officers moved forward in an extremely dispersed formation, but at a certain moment, dense unknown attacks were suddenly launched from a distance.
This attack had almost no divergence. It was like a rain of fire, shooting in parallel. All the bodies, weapons, and vehicles could not stop the rain of fire for a moment. So, in just an instant, more than a thousand people came together. die.
All the vehicles crashed down, all the sergeants fell down, and every mage had no time to convert into an energy body. More than a thousand people fell to death silently.
After receiving Wei Ling's derivation information, several people's hearts were heavy.
Shou Gong nodded:
"As the young master guessed, the very bizarre attack method is most likely caused by energy weapons."
Liu Xihe analysis:
"I have a question, what kind of energy weapon can launch such a dense attack?
As far as I know, all fortress energy cannons, energy phalanxes, and directed energy phalanxes on large vehicles will not have such a wide coverage unless they attack in batches.
But this will bring about another problem. After the first round of attacks, some frightened sergeants will turn around, and then the direction in which they fall will not be so unified.
Therefore, Brother Welling's opinion should be correct. There are various indications that these people all died at the same time.
Moreover, we are not sure whether such attacks will happen again.
Therefore, our situation is not optimistic. "
Welling ordered:
"Yuanbao, go to the nearest stone statue and see if there are any holes that were affected by the attack."
Yuan Bao nodded and instantly appeared next to a tall stone statue nearby. He hovered in front of the stone statue and carefully observed whether there were any similar attack gaps on the stone statue.
Looking at Yuan Bao who kept shaking his head, Wei Ling felt even more mysterious:
"Actually, the stone statues I saw before didn't have any holes. Therefore, can it be said that those magical attacks can actually leave these stone statues unharmed?
Or are those attacks only effective against organic matter and metals? "
Shou Gong’s view is:
"I think the second possibility analyzed by Young Master is more likely. There is no reason why energy attacks should be humane and let the stone statue go."
Wang Mantuo made a guess based on the existing situation:
"Therefore, can we conclude that all attacks are from another military system that we have never come into contact with, and they are all targeting our armed forces and humans on the surface?"
Even if the light is so dim, you can still see that Wang Mantuo's eyes are a little red.
Wei Ling nodded and patted Wang Mantuo on the shoulder:
"You are here, I will go to the front to take a look.
I feel that under normal circumstances, Wang Guangbai and the others would have boarded a small vehicle together with the commander. If you focus on checking those vehicles, you may find them...
However, I am not optimistic about the results. I estimate that they will hardly be spared! "
The few people no longer persisted and showed off, and dispersed on the spot to check the small fallen vehicles. As for the ships in the distance, they were left to Welling.
Wei Ling's figure swayed, and he flew across a few kilometers in one fell swoop, moving left and right, and quickly inspected several small vehicles.
Inside one of the vehicles, which was the second largest in size, Welling discovered Wang Guangbai.
The familiar tough face, the scar on the forehead is still the same, the expression does not have a look of terror, but a kind of surprise.
Next to Wang Guangbai was a corpse wearing the robes of an imperial warlock. It should be Cui Yinchen from the Cui family in Qinghe. His young face was filled with an incredible look.
There were at least four fatal holes in Wang Guangbai's body, leaving him unable to evade any protection.
There were only two holes in Cui Yinchen's body, but the most helpless thing was that there was a hole that penetrated his head diagonally.
There were also several Xixuan commanders on the vehicle, and the cause of death was similar to that of Wang Guangbai and Cui Yinchen.
Although he had an unpleasant past with Wang Guangbai, Wei Ling was still a little sad for their sacrifice.
Inside the tilted vehicle, he found the body bag that comes standard with armed vehicles, packed the two of them up, clamped them under his sides, and flew back to the place where they had discussed previously.
As soon as he saw Wei Ling returning and the two body bags he was carrying, Wang Mantuo shed tears and choked up.
After putting down the two bodies, Wei Ling looked at Li Lingyou and Liu Xihe:
"You guys go back outside immediately and send them back to the vehicle to freeze them. I'll take a closer look and report some useful information. It just doesn't make sense to go back like this."
"Master, then I will go with you."
"Okay, come with me and pay attention to body transformation at all times."
Wang Mantuo picked up a corpse and turned around in tears.
Liu Xihe also picked up the other body and walked in the direction he came from.
Li Lingyou and Shou Gong looked at Wei Ling, nodded, and then returned.
