The attack came suddenly, and it went suddenly.

The clamor hasn't dissipated yet, the giant beast embedded in the ground broke free and crawled away. The four golden eyes looked at Keller angrily through the dust, but turned and left. When it left, naturally it stepped on a avenue to the sky in the forest. Keller didn't order the hunt, but the general frowned and looked worried.

In this sudden attack, the front line of the battlefield almost dashed across the behemoth. Had it not been for General Keller, the consequences would be disastrous. After the war, there were more than 30 dead, with more than 100 minor and serious injuries. The most tragic among them were the soldiers who were sprayed by the poisonous water of the giant beasts. The nameplates on their bodies even melted into iron, making it impossible to distinguish their identity. Keller had to order the corpses to be buried together. When these things are done, it is already dusk.

&n/; In the wooden shed, Kuru looked at the work area at the bottom of the lake blankly. In the reddish light of dusk, the silt in the lake was like a dark red magma. Kuru sighed, and the excavation of the ruins was blocked one after another, as if there was something in the world that didn't want him to uncover the mystery of the ruins.

With the sound of footsteps, Kuru saw a pair of mud-stained iron boots stepping into the wooden shed. Looking up again, I saw Kyler with a wry smile on his face. Keller sat down beside Kuru and said straightforwardly: "I have something to discuss with you, Mr. Kuru."

"Please speak."

"I have an instinct. From the snake infestation a few days ago to today's behemoth, all this is not accidental." Keller squinted his eyes and said: "I always feel that behind these things, there is something invisible. His hands are pushing them to happen. If we do not solve them from the source, I am sure that things like today will continue to happen."

Kuru said "Oh" and nodded: "General Keller thought about going with me. I was thinking that there are lords in all parts of the empire, so do places like the wild highlands also have lords? "

"Lord? You mean some kind of beast?"

"From the current situation, it may be a beast with some kind of intelligence."

Keller took a sigh of relief: "Is there such a thing? It's not Irinal, the virgin forest where the garden called the Nemesis is located, will have such a murderous thing..."

"Who knows, the world is constantly changing. The wild highlands are sparsely populated. It is not surprising that even if there will be such a level of murderous creatures, and the highlands are regarded as their own lair." Kuru He took a sip of ale, shook his head and smiled: "This is the most reasonable explanation. We are like a group of invaders to the Highland Lord who has never met. I think General Keller is not unfamiliar with the invaders, right?"

"If you say so, then I have a suggestion." Keller said solemnly: "Tomorrow I want to take four hundred elite soldiers away, and follow the traces left by the giant beasts to find the so-called Highland Lord, if there is one. . Damn it, I assume there is such a thing, then we have to annihilate it. Otherwise, next time it sends such a beast or a murderous thing, it will be troublesome. Don’t forget, according to the current situation, The ruins seem to be in the belly of the mountain. Like the giant beast that attacked us today, it is not difficult for it to crash into the mountain..."

"Please imagine, if we are investigating in the ruins, a giant beast suddenly strikes and hits the mountain. As a result, I don't think Mr. Kuru is willing to run into it?"

Kuru shivered, and smiled bitterly: "Who wants to bury it alive. Okay, General Keller, please solve this danger from the source. Until you come back, we will not enter the ruins."

Keller nodded, still worried, and said: "If you encounter a beast attack again, Mr. Kuru, I will let someone send you out of the high ground when necessary."

"I know."

Kuru slept very restlessly that night. He frequently wakes up in his sleep, fearing that the behemoths of the day will attack the camp again. Fortunately, during the day, the camp was calm. Keller organized a four-hundred-man army, and after mixing several arms, he led the team and left the camp. Kuru, as he promised yesterday, did not rush into the ruins investigation.

Regardless of whether it was Keller or Kuru, they didn't know that although the ground was calm at the moment, the underground was very lively. Some tall subway tooth ants are advancing under the ground. These ants are densely packed with thousands of them. If you pry the ground open, you will find dense ants under the ground. This sea of ​​ants is divided into more than a dozen rivers, rolling along the natural cracks in the ground to the mountain where the ruins are located.

In a short time, the ant colony entered the inner space of the emperor snake base. This is when the ant colony begins to separate, as if there is an invisible will commanding them, the iron-toothed ants diverted out like an army, with clear goals to go to the base. They entered the weapon warehouse, got into the main control room, power room, and other rooms that were fairly well preserved. Followed by destruction, the ant colony bites off energy pipes, brains, cables, everything that is still working. During this process, ants are constantly blasted by electric currents, so extremely corrosive acid will be splashed from their small bodies. These acid liquids increase the damage and turn the base into a real ruin.

In the whole process, the division of labor in the ant colony is clear and efficient. If anyone had witnessed all of this, it would have been chilly. This work lasted for a day, and when the ant colony retreated, nothing of value was left in the base. At this time, even if Kuru could enter the base, he couldn't get any information or knowledge.

At this moment, Kuru didn't know that earth-shattering changes had taken place in the ruins. He was still in the wooden shed fantasizing about unimaginable ancient knowledge after opening the ruins. He didn't know that everything he wished had already vanished under the destruction of the ant colony.

Keller was advancing in the jungle, the traces of the giant beast were very obvious. The ancient trees and huge trees that were trampled all the way, the shattered rocks, and even the dung left by the giant beasts were discovered by the team on the way. All of these are guiding Keller and his army to the northwest of the highland. In the evening, Keller and the others camped on a high slope. Not far in front of the high slope, there is a natural valley, where the traces of the giant beast disappeared.

If there is no accident, the behemoth should have entered the valley. Keller doesn't know how deep this valley is, it can hold a giant beast, and it will not be too small. Looking at the direction of the valley in the camp, Keller always felt being watched, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him in the depths of the valley.

A pair of eyes full of wisdom.
