interstellar tomb raider

Chapter 198
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the destination of Devil Star are clearly marked on the fire feather, but the entrance to the tomb will not be so easy to find. After coming to Devil Star, he suffered some hardships. Most of Yi Shuihan’s landed places are in the asphalt swamp, which is vicious. The sunlight steamed the entire area like a furnace, and the climate alone was not a threat. The key was that there was a kind of terrifying creature growing in this area.

It was a kind of weird black balloon. It was small in size and moved in groups. It often floated over the asphalt swamp. These things seemed to swim like ghosts with a piece of "tail fin". Their main food was huge mountains. Mound legs octopus.

Yi Shuihan was already cautious about dangers, but he didn't expect to be greeted by black balloons as soon as he entered. These black balloons can be separated from the main body and burst automatically after attacking the target. The balloons are full of methane. Forget it, the attack of millions of bombs almost exploded a mushroom cloud, and the water evaporated within a hundred meters around, like purgatory.

Famous is not as good as meeting, the experience of the past two days and the annoying black balloon are really enough, not to mention that the octopus with two legs on the hill is also a ruthless character, it is really worthy of being called a devil star.

It took a lot of hard work to find a cave that was not quite the same. This mountain is not high, and there is a layer of oily asphalt and black vines hanging on the surface. It is almost impossible to find its existence if you are far away, just like an ocean of asphalt. It's just a rock.The entrance of the cave is dark, extremely difficult to be found, and there is no trace of life. The reason why it attracts attention is that the black balloons dare not approach this place. It is strange to forcefully mark out a large area in the rampant land and not easily invade it.

Yi Shuihan's sensing power is extremely strong, but it can't penetrate into the hole, as if there is a magnetic force blocking all detection, and that's not counting, he vaguely heard a kind of palpitation, similar to a group of dishonest bats, and somewhat like " Cuckoo!" The insects sang, and it was always difficult to judge what was on the road ahead.

"Gulu." Yi Shuihan called softly.In an instant, a shadow covered the sunlight from behind, and that shadow was in the shape of a giant dragon.

Gulu's whole body is surrounded by colorful light, the main body is already 50 meters long, and the phantom is even more unpredictable.

After a while, Gulu's body also condensed into a shape of ten meters, encircling its owner, and it became more solid and mighty. His body was slender and smooth, but it did not distinguish colors, just like a dragon of light.

With this guarantee, Yi Shuihan stepped into the cave, and after walking a few steps, he found that the entrance of the cave behind him was no longer there. Except for the light emitting from Gulu, it was extremely difficult to judge the direction with the naked eye, and the sensing force could only detect a distance of ten meters. But the hole was no longer noticeable, causing him to frown, worried that there was some reason for the illusion.

Gulu didn't seem to like the depression and darkness, so he ignited the light on his body more intensely, crackling and crackling, and a phantom with a faint light expanded the surrounding visual range to 50 meters. Only then did he realize that behind him was a circle of ancient His star gate was unknowingly teleported to a different place, and is no longer in the original cave.

Looking at the star gate, I don’t recognize any of the symbols on it. It is said that Grand Duke Xuanyuan should not have such a perfect long-distance transmission device back then. Even today’s star gate will feel stretched when transmitting, but just a little Didn't notice the transfer location either.

Scanning the font on the star gate with a naturalist bracelet, I realized that this thing was not created by humans, but was created by a galaxy civilization called "Floating Light" 2 years ago. The study of space has extraordinary attainments, but then disappeared into history. All the objects of that civilization were discovered when they were discovered, and this mysterious civilization has been empty and disappeared, because they have little contact with the outside world. It didn't attract relative attention. At that time, human beings were still in the era of cold weapons, and hadn't entered the interstellar stage. I don't know where Grand Duke Xuanyuan got this kind of thing.

The "floating light" star gate is good, but it is useless to have only one. With Gulu phantom, you can roughly see everything within a hundred meters. There is nothing but a large and thick star gate protruding from the ground. I don't know what to look for. direction to explore.

There was still that palpitation in the darkness, and it was coming from all directions but nothing unusual could be seen. Yi Shuihan stood there for a long time, and finally chose the direction to move forward. There was a clanging sound from above, but there was no echo after the sound of footsteps spread out, resulting in an inexplicable emptiness, as if the whole world was completely dark, emptier than the space in the universe, at least there was no starlight to be seen here.

As we walked, the asphalt on the ground began to melt, perhaps due to the influence of the geothermal heat, bubbling, gurgling, and splashing everywhere. The little beasts that fell into the ground, they should be ghost star creatures that strayed into the star gate, accumulated for thousands of years, some rotted, and some were lucky enough to be covered by asphalt droplets splashing everywhere, still maintaining the strange and painful expressions before death .

The natural climate of the devil star is relatively primitive, and there are some false rumors. Judging from the creatures that strayed into the star gate, the species of the star are relatively diverse.The area of ​​asphalt melted by geothermal heat is getting bigger and bigger. Although it can only be seen within [-] meters, after flying for a long time, I realized that this is an underground asphalt lake, which is weird, mysterious and full of challenges.

Hanging above the asphalt lake, I finally found something. When the surrounding creatures became less and less, a group of people appeared, to be precise, a group of dead people. They should be early adventurers, covered with a layer of ancient armor. There is a layer of asphalt, and there is a [-]-square-meter piece of foam metal under the feet of more than [-] people. It should be a high-end adventure product from thousands of years ago.

The death of these people was horrific. Most of them curled up on the ground holding their throats like shrimps, and they seemed to be trying to vomit something. It stands to reason that the armor has precision isolation devices and reinforced glass masks, and the symptoms of these people are obviously infected with extremely serious bacteria. Or encountered a foreign body invading the inside of the body, what caused these people to die collectively and quickly?Asphalt preserves part of the situation at that time and presents it to the eyes of later generations.

Some of the victims had turned into black skeletons, scattered and paralyzed there. It can be seen that these people had removed their anti-virus equipment and masks before they died. Forcibly broke the neck.

In order to obtain more information, Yi Shuihan gently stepped on the metal foam platform. After countless years, the luster of the metal foam has been completely covered by a layer of asphalt. Only the center of the platform seems to have a few square meters of intact ground. , there is still a lonely corpse lying there, the armor on this person is intact, still shining with some luster, clearly showing its difference.

Carefully passed the dead around, and came to the center of the metal foam platform. The armor on the ground wrapped a young girl, who should not be more than 20 years old, with dark red hair and a pale face covered with frost. She held her hands together on her chest Seems to be praying for something.That expression is very strange, there is no fear of death, but a trace of relief and hope. It seems that she has not encountered any accidents, but uses the internal function of the armor to automatically freeze, which is no different from suicide. Within a certain time limit, even if there is a newcomer, she cannot be saved, unless the cells are extracted to clone her again, but that is a very boring thing, meaningless.

Yi Shuihan checked the time the girl was frozen. It is a pity that the girl has been lying here for 500 years, which has greatly exceeded the limit. It is a miracle that the armor can keep frozen. The cells in the girl's body should have been Necrosis, depletion of life energy.

Just as he was about to turn his head and walk away, the fat pier who was pinned to his waist suddenly reacted. Before leaving, Bai Xiaoqing prepared the luggage for Yi Shuihan, and naturally he would not forget to reserve a resting place for the puffy pier. Its unique green crystal pestle shape is quite It is easy to carry, and it can be placed on the waist like a laser sword without attracting attention.

The crack in the center of the crystal pestle opened instantly, and a ray of light shot directly at the girl's hands, revealing a little of the plump figure, and it was hard to tell what kind of shape it was, as if it was a black shadow.

Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that the girl was holding something tightly with both hands, and Pang Dun separated her hands at once with his unrivaled strength, only then did he realize that it was a necklace.

Chubby's joyful mood was like a child who got candy, and he couldn't help but want to pull the necklace in his hand into the crystal pestle.

"Wait." Yi Shuihan scolded, and with a wave of his hand, the fat man didn't eat anything, but was snatched away by the master.

The pendant of the necklace is only three centimeters long, and it is really not that big. It is in the shape of a golden cylinder, and it is carved with dense and fine patterns, which is very delicate, and there is nothing special about it.

While watching, the girl in the armor under her feet completely lost her life. The frost on the epidermis instantly turned into mist, covering the armor mask, and it was faintly discernible that the pale skin was shriveled. No difference.

Yi Shuihan was a little sorry for disturbing the dead man's slumber, and he was very sorry for destroying the girl's appearance. This guy is really lacking in discipline, and he wants to devour something valuable. If it weren't for the fierceness of the sinking blade, maybe this guy would too. Coveted the best material of the sub-artifact.Presumably, the necklace in her hand is the main reason for keeping the girl in good health. Maybe it is the "talisman" that she has not encountered any accidents. Sensing the metal pendant carefully, I can only feel a faint energy contained in it. In terms of energy, it is probably equivalent to ordinary energy spar.

Feeling that this thing is far from a real treasure, after being in contact with too many magical items and some sub-artifacts, Yi Shuihan has formed an intuition about the value of the items, so he took out the naturalist bracelet to scan carefully, and soon got the answer.

The necklace was produced during the Dardani period. At that time, it was more popular among the aristocrats to make ornaments with special cosmic dust collected. The more famous ornaments were unintentionally obtained by a scientific expedition team from a wild star in the polar region. "Energy stone", the energy stone is distributed in a large glacial rift valley. Originally, the scientific expedition team went deep into the rift valley to take ice samples to study whether the wild planet has had major climate changes for hundreds of millions of years. Some large particles of cosmic dust were found in it, and a total of three kilograms of energy crystals were collected. After going back to conduct in-depth research, it was discovered that this substance is very different from known energy crystals. Benefits, can concentrate, regulate metabolism, increase immunity, and improve physical strength.

This thing met the appetites of many nobles, and was sold as a necklace at a sky-high price. Judging from the style and surface texture, the necklace in front of me should be one of them.Unexpectedly, I found that the energy stone was only three kilograms, which was a drop in the bucket. Later, some people rushed to the barren star again, but there was not much to gain. Unexpectedly, after a few years, the nobles who wore the necklace all died of festering as if cursed by a demon. The conclusion was that they were damaged by radiation. After research, it was found that the energy stones are not very stable. Although they have good energy storage, they will periodically burst out strong radiation and cause damage. Since then, these energy stones have never appeared again, including the necklace in Yi Shuihan's hand.

The wild star that produced the energy stone happened to be the current Devil Star, and the team in front of us came to explore the Devil Star for profit when the price of the energy stone was almost sky-high. What was the reason that prompted them to go deep into this place?How did the girl's appearance be preserved by the energy stone?How this mysterious power stone works is unknown.

In fact, this girl is the daughter of a famous aristocratic explorer. It was her father's intention to come to the Devil Star. One of the victims next to her was her father. He left the hope of life to his daughter in times of crisis, because he found The energy stone necklace can avoid attacks from the shadows. It is precisely because the energy of the necklace is amplified that it detects that there is a mutual attraction energy band in this cave. It is full of hardships and dangers, and it is not something that ordinary people can enter casually.

Yi Shuihanjue's necklace was of no use to him, and the girl's appearance was also ruined, so naturally he was the culprit once, and Pang Dun happily swallowed it, and threw it into the jade green crystal pestle.

This guy got the benefits but seemed to be more than satisfied, he still didn't retreat, and "danced" to the left of the asphalt lake like a swaying shadow.

"What? What did you find?" Yi Shuihan asked with interest.

The chubby shadow swayed violently, conveying its own meaning.

Yi Shuihan smiled, although he couldn't feel anything in that direction, but the "sense of smell" of Pangdun was too sensitive, which had surpassed the level that martial monks could achieve. Of course, this was mostly due to its appetite.

Hanging the crystal pestle by his waist again, he said to Pangdun: "Guide me the direction, let's go right away."

It is really a joyful thing to find the direction of exploration between the darkness and the eerie sound from the boiling asphalt. Pang Dun jumped up to become a "guide dog" and led Yi Shuihan tossing wildly for a while before he finally found The land it covets.

Gulu wandered around outside his body, illuminating a wider area, and a small floating island appeared at his feet. There was a stone tablet on the island, on which was written the words left by Grand Duke Xuanyuan: "Heirs of future generations, when you come here, you have proved that You have obtained the items left to you through the tomb in front, it must feel good? Have you ever crossed the world? Maybe the times are changing, but the aggressive nature of human beings will not change. Maybe there are many strong people in your era, you Did not prevail, then the next seven items excavated will be of great help to you. On this star I left some power stones, you must get a hundred kilograms to continue the journey, otherwise the next six items Items will lose their effectiveness. Dear children, by the way, I fed those power stones to a creature on the planet. You have to hunt them and extract trace elements from their bodies to get enough. There is a small stone under the tombstone. It is considered as an early reward, and it is also a sample. Children, please remember that the Morgans gave up part of the galaxy to humans not because they are powerless to fight, but because they are full of conspiracy..."

The Grand Duke is obviously infiltrating some kind of information to the newcomers, but he is not easy to reveal the answer. This dead ghost is really too mysterious. It is thanks to him to figure out the hunting ghost star species.

Searching under the stele, I soon found a hidden compartment. Just about to open it, I was attacked with a sound of Gulu Longyin, and a shadow was too fast. Even Yi Shuihan didn't see clearly what was trying to board the floating island a hundred meters away. .

Don't worry about it, there shouldn't be any problems with Guru, take out a half-fist big stone from the hidden compartment, this thing is not gold or jade, it has some weight to start with, cold, but the touch is extremely delicate .Wei Wei feels that this thing is a shovel stone, the fat man is so coveted, he wished he could pounce on it and pull it into the green crystal pestle, but he didn't know that Yi Shuihan regretted feeding that necklace to it, if he had known that the Grand Duke would collect it by himself The shovel stone is not given to it to eat, one hundred kilograms is one hundred kilograms, and the one in hand weighs at most five kilograms, which is still 95 kilograms short.

Gulu seemed to be irritated, he ignited five bursts of anger, and the sound spread far away, and the guy who came to attack the floating island also showed his prototype. It was as soft as a puddle of black liquid, but it also looked like a multi-sectioned centipede, like a paramecium under a microscope. Thousands of straws around the body were almost transparent, and it was flat in the air to fight several times with Gulu, but it didn't get any benefit.

The dragon-shaped phantom spins up, its sharp claws open slightly, and strikes the attacker fiercely. The air explosion turns into countless groups and surrounds the enemy. Don't let it take advantage of its speed, and then the hundreds of naked eyes in the air explosion are the killer. , the body of the monster would corrode continuously, and within a few breaths the paramecium collapsed to the ground, unable to cope.

Yi Shuihan strode over, Huo Yu swept forward, the monster squeaked and screamed, and the next moment it became flying ash, it seemed that this thing killed the team that came in, Grand Duke Xuanyuan can always Get some long-lived and very domineering beings to guard the tomb. This is only one-seventh of the tomb. There are such monsters. It’s really not a place for ordinary people to set foot in. Even ordinary martial arts monks can’t resist its sudden attack. .This creature was refined and no shovel stone appeared, so it should not be a shovel-eating creature bred by the Grand Duke.

Just at this moment, the ground of the floating island trembled, and a light gate stood up. The light pierced the surrounding darkness, and after a shake, Yi Shuihan was transported to the foot of a mountain outside. This must also be the space technology of the floating light clan. Humans do not possess such a profound means of teleportation.

The air at the foot of the mountain is very dirty, and the smoke in the distance is desolate. There is a circle of buildings at the far end of the mountain. There is a former tourist base there. , They have already made some discoveries, and they should be able to find the real culprit of the tragedy. The media reporters following behind really annoyed the team leader of the investigation team. Anyway, the reward for this errand is very high. Although there are complaints for the sake of money, they can Patience, this group of people has no idea that they are falling into the arms of the shadow of death.
