Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 308: Flying Flame Remnants (1/3)
In the S-14 underwater channel of Sequoia Base, you can often see the wreckage of some monsters and beasts, as well as various extremely ancient metal man-made wreckages whose shapes and past functions can no longer be discerned.
This place used to be one of the high-speed passages for the underwater transportation of the base, and all kinds of materials were transported smoothly through the movement of water. However, after a thousand years, it has become a place close to a sewer, and the surrounding monsters will eat the remaining bones. Slag or hard bones are thrown here, making it more congested.
At this time, the light is dim.
Even if there is a surge in the spiritual energy field, causing the surrounding water mist to emit a light that is almost like lightning, the light is still very weak, and people can only vaguely distinguish who the surrounding skeletal remains belong to.
At one of the exits in the middle of the underwater passage, the survivors of the Sequoia Special Forces and the two cultivators of the Spiritual Tool Church had just finished a high-intensity march that was close to fleeing. Probably the rib plate of a giant crocodile, slowly trimming it.
"This mission is a complete failure." The captain smiled miserably. He was looking down at the long sword in his hand, which had the emblem of ivy entwined with the sun. It was Absalom A military insignia common to all bloodlines.
The sword itself is of average value, just an ordinary long sword with inscriptions, but the military badge is a symbol of his honor, and it is a proof that he has performed outstandingly in the Battle of Ye Yingmo and has been rewarded by the king.
And this veteran who has always been proud of his identity is thinking about whether to use this sword to end himself, and it will be done once and for all.
But in the end, he still gave up this tempting choice—even if the entire special forces team was almost wiped out, the survivors counted the two members of the Spiritual Weapon Church, and there were only five people in total.
However, he still needs to live on his own terms, and report everything that happened in the South China Sea ruins group back to the headquarters, and inform the king.
"After all, it's not my fault."
Everything is due to luck, this is the true thought of the team leader.
They were obviously the first team to arrive at the South China Sea ruins in full gear with the most formal specifications, and they were also the first team to find the brain-eating worm's lair!
If it hadn't been for the white people appraiser who inexplicably ruined their good deeds, they would have captured the youngest son of the Ellen family and a master alchemist long ago!
And if these three people didn't make trouble, they would have been able to defeat the giant gold centipede of the ruins long ago, and then they might be able to pick up the leak when the crystal dragon and the hive mother were both wounded!
My lord, that is a strange relic alien and a hive mother!
Don't talk about bringing back the live ones, even if they bring back a dragon egg or a living tissue of the female worm, they will be considered a success this time!
You must know that the Desolate Sea King of Absalom was interested in the special heritage of the Nanling Sequoia natives, the "symbiotic worm" and the various primitive plagues they possessed, so they sent their special forces here .
Their tasks originally included helping the local natives improve various epidemics and even infectious diseases, and using biochemical attacks to attack the southern border of the empire.
Plagues, poisonous poisons, parasites, and berserk creatures have triggered groups of monsters to attack towns... As the subordinates of the King of the Wild Sea, they are very familiar with these methods and are extremely proficient.
They will become a disaster for the imperial people. With the least strength and number of people, they will drag the South Ridge Army to the local area, unable to support the western plains.
It's okay to say that the crystal dragon, no matter how magical it is, is just a crystal dragon, and its value is not great.
But the kind of parasites that can devour human brains and quickly turn people into monsters... even parasites with hive psionic networks are definitely worth as much as a pre-civilized ether weapon.
Even Armed with Apocalypse.
But all of this was completely messed up by those imperial people who didn't understand the value of these creatures at all.
They killed the mother worm, destroyed the worm nest, and even...activated an unknown relic function, and rushed the body of the mother worm and the worm nest into the endless fiery torrent.
Including most of their team.
The captain saw with his own eyes that several brothers who had no time to retreat fell into the bottomless dark abyss with the giant golden centipede in a daze, and then were blocked by silver metal pipes and disappeared.
What followed was that the extreme heat burst out from the pipe, burning everything up.
Failed, completely failed—whether it was the special operations team, or the exploration of the ruins; whether it was the task of disrupting Nanling, or cooperating with the Spiritual Weapon Church to find fire...all of them failed completely.
It's not a total failure yet.
"The Nanling Great Relics Group does have modules related to the 'heterogeneous ecological circle' - the insect nest is one of them! Among them, there may not be no relevant information and spare blood reserves!"
Opening his eyes, the team leader has already strengthened his confidence: "With this information, it will be considered fruitful."
"And..."
Raise your left hand.
The captain stared at his palm.
There are blue lines spreading, but they are blocked by the source quality.
——Not all the brain-eating worms were destroyed... Before retreating, he deliberately let himself be infected, using his own flesh and blood to supply this strange parasite, but he would not allow himself to be completely overrun.
Of course, this is very painful... But compared to a complete failure, where all my subordinates and brothers died in battle without any results, this kind of pain is like a spring breeze and a gentle breeze.
Clenching his palms tightly, the captain closed his eyes and sighed slowly.
No matter what, they haven't lost yet.
"It's over."
However, on the other side, the nun of the Spiritual Tool Church, who lost one hand, made a voice that she didn't know whether it was calm or regretful: "We are all going to die."
"You bastard!"
In an instant, the captain was enraged by the nun's words.
—A defeatist strategist, huh? !
He shook the long sword in his hand tightly, then stood up and glared at the other party: "If it weren't for your radical request, we would have retreated to the coast long ago, and then cooperated with the fleet that arrived to suppress the Viscount Harrison Port! "
"We can even temporarily replace the dead Sequoia elder, lead the local Nanling aborigines, and attack Port Harrison—with the firearms troops we trained, Port Harrison will definitely be surprised and require a lot of energy Only then can we resist!"
"In this way, as long as the viscount and the Nanling fleet are suppressed along the coast, we will have the opportunity to slowly explore this new labyrinth of ruins... How can there be so many things now!"
Although it is said that the captain of Feiyan's special forces has a persistent prejudice and hostility towards the Imperials, if there is anyone he hates the most right now, it is without a doubt these lunatics from the Spiritual Weapon Church.
If it wasn't for their single-minded determination to determine the sacred relic at the first time, and insisted on exploring the maze first, they might have already started to bring the most professional team and the protection of the second-level sublimator. Come here to explore this dangerous prehistoric ruins!
However, facing such an angry captain, the nun didn't care at all.
She just turned her head, looked to the other side of the tunnel, and sighed softly: "We are going to die."
"Haven't you sensed it yet?" The breath that caused us to have a great advantage turned into a sudden turn, and directly led to our complete reduction to this situation. "
"The young odd number has arrived."
"What?"
The captain raised his head in horror, and looked at the other end of the corridor.
At this moment, he did hear the sound of gentle, steady footsteps slowly approaching them from the other end of the passage.
Bai Zhimin boy's face passed through the dark shadows, and his calm face appeared in front of everyone.
