From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 187 Things Below the Sixth Floor
After destroying the laser matrix, everyone stopped to rest for a while.

Previously, he had cleared out two demon laboratories in succession and harvested fifteen ordinary crystal cores, three skill crystal cores, and two source materials.

Su Muyu took out two portions of source essence, handed them to Lin Zeyu, and asked, "I just got two portions of source essence, both of which are professional source essences with properties. Do you want to use them?"

Lin Zeyu took it, held it in his hand and examined it, then asked, "Lu Heng, which one should I use? I'm about to return, and I have to choose one quickly, otherwise I won't be able to complete my first challenge mission."

Among the three challenging tasks, the first one is the source quality competition task.

This challenge mission is not required to be completed, but there will be divine energy rewards for completing it.

If it can be completed, of course it is best to complete it.

"What are their ranks?" Lu Heng was busy looking for the entrance to the sixth floor on the fifth floor.

"One is the Beast Whisperer, and the other is the Demon Hunter." Lin Zeyu replied quickly.

"Demon Hunter is okay. This one is pretty good. Take a look at its class capabilities and use it if you're satisfied." When Lu Heng heard about the Demon Hunter, he gave it a high evaluation.

Lin Zeyu carefully read the introduction of the [Demon Hunter] class essence, nodded and said: "Indeed, this class is very good, so I will absorb it."

He absorbed the [Demon Hunter] class essence, officially starting the fight for essence, and then asked: "I've also absorbed the remaining essence, is that okay?"

Source essence is divided into two types: natureless source essence and class source essence. Natureless source essence can increase the degree of source essence fusion, but cannot open classes.

A psychic who possesses a class essence can also absorb other class essences to increase the degree of source fusion, which is equivalent to using the class essence as a natureless essence.

"Okay, just use it." Lu Heng nodded in agreement.

If you want to keep the class essence, you can take it back and give it to other psychics to use.

However, now they are facing a decisive battle, and the American team led by Alex Austin has already entered the base. At this time, of course, they should increase their combat power as much as possible, and there is no need to save the source essence.

Besides, the class of [Beast Whisperer] is not important enough to require special stay.

This class can be very effective in certain worlds, but it is not a general class.

Therefore, the best option is to let Lin Zeyu absorb it directly and improve the fusion degree of source quality.

……

After passing through the laser matrix, everyone discovered a hemispherical building inside the fifth floor.

This hemispherical object occupies a very large area, with a diameter of over 100 meters, so it is more appropriate to call it a building.

Inside the fifth underground floor, there is actually another building.

Moreover, there were circles of strange patterns on the sphere, and even Lu Heng could not recognize the meaning of those patterns.

Everyone looked around but couldn't find the entrance to the next level.

Judging from the structure of the fifth floor alone, there seems to be no sixth floor.

However, Lu Heng saw six layers of structure underground under shadow vision, so this situation was a bit strange.

Everyone walked around the fifth floor, all very confused: "Didn't they say there was a sixth floor?"

In fact.

The information that the Delimus Base No. 3 has six underground floors was said by Lu Heng from the beginning, and this information has not been confirmed from other channels.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed on the hemispherical building in front of him, frowned and said: "There must be a sixth floor. Since there is no passage downward, there must be something wrong with this hemisphere."

"Then let's break the hemisphere wall and see what's inside." Lin Zeyu's idea was very straightforward.

After thinking carefully, Lu Heng said, "For safety reasons, I will use shadow vision to see what's going on inside."

Before, I only saw that this base had six underground floors, but I didn’t see what was inside the sixth floor.

Now here, there is another strange hemispherical building.

Lu Heng considered using shadow travel to pass through the wall first, take a look at what was inside, and then make his next plan.

Lin Zeyu glanced at the time and said, "There's only half an hour left. Is it still in time?"

Su Muyu was also a little worried: "If we use Shadow Travel, will it be more difficult to fight head-on if we encounter the American team later?"

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

As Lu Heng spoke, he activated the shadow travel, dived into the ground, turned on the shadow vision, and tried to observe the situation inside the sixth floor.

However, when observing with shadow vision, it was found that the outer periphery of the sixth layer was covered with a layer of black medium, which actually blocked the observation with shadow vision.

After walking half a circle around the sixth layer, I found that this layer of black medium was actually spherical in shape.

The entire sixth-floor structure is a sphere, and the upper half of the sphere is the hemispherical building of the fifth floor.

Lu Heng felt that this shape was very strange. He tried to get closer to the black medium and then felt a strong breath of the abyss.

The closer you are to the black medium, the stronger the energy surges around you.

Moreover, the energy in these black media is extremely intense, even exceeding the intensity of the 30th energy level.

When approaching the black medium, Lu Heng even felt that his body was being eroded by the black medium, and the black medium was actually trying to drill into his body.

It goes without saying that there must be something very scary behind these black media.

As time goes by, the duration of Shadow Walk is almost over.

Lu Heng had no choice but to return to the fifth floor, thinking about what was behind the black medium. Everyone gathered around and asked about the situation.

"How is it? What's down there?"

Lu Heng shook his head and said, “There is a layer of black medium that blocks the shadow vision, and I feel that there is an energy level intensity of more than 30 levels in the black medium.

“What we encountered this time is probably the most powerful thing we have encountered in such a long time, and this thing must have come from the abyss.

"We have indeed found the right place, but whether we can remove the source of this deep pollution is hard to say."

The greater fear comes from the unknown.

If Lu Heng could see what was behind the black medium, he could make a judgment as to whether or not to break the hemispherical wall.

But I can’t see it now, I just know that what is behind the black medium must be terrible.

"So what should we do now? Should we take action? Or we wait until the last minute and blow up the wall. If something scary comes out, we return immediately." Lin Zeyu gave a safer method.

This plan can indeed ensure safety, but in fact, if the wall is blown up at the last minute, even if the things inside are seen, there will definitely not be enough time to destroy them.

In other words, this plan can only take a look at the things on the sixth floor, but cannot clear them, so it cannot complete this challenge task.

Of course, it is also valuable to take a look at what is inside and know what it is, at least you can get first-hand information.

While everyone was discussing.

There was a loud bang coming from the direction of the fourth floor, and a big hole was blasted in the wall.

The five members of the American team stepped into the cave and the two sides officially met.

"We meet again, and you can't escape this time. I didn't expect that you would force yourself into a dead end." Alex Austin moved his neck and began to warm up before the battle.

From a logical point of view, what Lu Heng and his group did was indeed to push themselves into a dead end step by step.

Because with every layer down, the entrance of the cave would collapse.

This means that when you want to retreat, there is no exit.

This approach did indeed hold back the America team for a long time.

If there is a hole, the American team can go down along the hole and reach the fifth floor in a few minutes at most.

However, the entrance to the cave was blown up, forcing the American team to find another downward passage.

It delayed them for forty minutes.

Harris laughed and said, "They want to delay until the time of return and go back directly."

Heavy gunner Karim, carrying an RPG on his shoulder, sneered, "They think too much. Under my firepower, if they can hold out for five minutes, I lose. How can they hold out for twenty-five minutes?"

It is already 11:35 pm, and there are only 25 minutes left before returning.

Not only did the American team bring in five people, they also brought in more than thirty mechanical guards. After coming in, they arranged themselves in an array and locked their guns on Lu Heng and his men.

"The opponent's firepower is a bit fierce. What should we do?" Lin Zeyu swallowed and became nervous.

This is the fifth underground floor, and there is not enough space for snipers to take effect.

If we were to compete in firepower, they would not be able to withstand the thirty or so mechanical guards on the opposite side.

Yuan Yaoyao looked at the data on the face screen and reminded: "Brother Lu, the total firepower of the other side is 12 times ours. The pressure is very high."

Lu Heng looked at Alex Austin, a smile appeared on his lips, and he waved his hand and said, "Come to my side, I also want to see if they dare to open fire."

It has been three minutes since the America team came in, and the other side has not opened fire.

Everyone gathered around Lu Heng, and behind Lu Heng was the hemispherical building.

When Alex Austin saw this, his eyes darkened and the situation suddenly came to a standstill.

"Despicable Daxia people!" He cursed with anger on his face.

Lu Heng was not very sure at first, but looking at his expression now, he has confirmed one thing.

The American team accepted the mission from the Adventists to come and support this base, and one of their missions must be to protect the things inside the sixth floor.

That's why they didn't open fire as soon as they came in.

Otherwise, they would start bombarding as soon as they rushed in.

Moreover, Lu Heng discovered something even more suspicious.

"I'm very curious, don't you have the mission to clean up the pollution in the Abyss? As long as you don't have pig brains, you must know that this is the source of the Abyss pollution. But from what you say, you don't intend to destroy it."

The missions assigned to them by Advent could not reward divine energy.

For those with special abilities, the rewards bestowed by Advent are not as good as divine energy.

So, what is the reason that makes them choose to protect the source of abyss pollution on the sixth layer instead of clearing it?
Alex Austin snorted coldly and defended himself, "There is also a requirement in the challenge mission, which is to join a faction and complete the missions assigned by the faction. The mission assigned to us by Advent is to protect this base."

Lu Heng curled his lips and exposed his sophistry: "No, the first mission assigned to you by Advent is to capture Xavier Matrix.

"Moreover, joining a faction is just a means, not an end. The real meaning of the challenge mission is to let you join a faction, and then go undercover in the faction to investigate whether each faction is related to the source of abyssal pollution.

"So, there must be some other reason why you have to protect what's down there. That's interesting."
