Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1492: Deep into the royal city
At this time, the section of the mountain road where the White Frost Castle team is located.
The howling heat wave, accompanied by scorching water vapor, erupted from the abyss underground, and the terrifying air wave shook everyone in the exploration team.
A level 5 hunter was driven by the air wave and suddenly lost his balance, screaming that he was pulled into the void outside the mountain path by the air wave, and was about to be taken into the air.
Suddenly, the general in the team stretched out his big hand, grabbed his collar, and pulled him back.
But half of his body was burned by the heat wave, his skin was red, and blisters appeared, causing him to scream in pain.
The eruption of water vapor lasted for more than ten seconds before subsiding.
The general immediately put the hunter on the ground and shouted: "Quick, take off his armor and clothes, and get the medicine!"
They dealt with it in a timely manner. Even so, the hunter's chest and thighs still had a piece of skin stuck to the clothes. In desperation, the general had to tear it off together with the clothes. The hunter fainted from the pain .
After being dosed with wound medicine and bandaged up, the hunter is still not out of danger.
The general ordered a rank 6 colonel to take the wounded back to the base vehicle.
In the base vehicle, in the conference room, seeing this scene, Lin Jianping became more and more sure that only elite troops could be dispatched from the Exploration Capital.
Ordinary soldiers go to die.
Just because of the eruption of airflow just now, ordinary soldiers didn't fix their bodies in time, and they were taken away in one go.
Even if it is not taken away by the air current, as long as it is accidentally sprayed by the hot air, it will either be seriously injured or die on the spot.
What's more, when looking at the screen now, I only know that the air flow is extremely hot, and God knows if there will be toxins in it.
The other side.
On the mountain road, after treating the wounded, the general led the rest of the people to quicken their pace and search downwards.
During the period, another thermal eruption was encountered.
The interval is about an hour and a half.
Finally, the exploration team reached the vicinity of the capital.
It's very hot here.
It has reached about 50 degrees, and everyone's forehead is sweating.
The high temperature comes from a magma river below, which flows quietly, but exudes astonishingly high heat.
It makes this abyss that stretches for an unknown number of kilometers emit red light, and paints the distant capital with a layer of blood red.
The distance is close enough, and it can be observed with the naked eye. The city wall of the king's capital is extremely tall and magnificent.
Through the measurement of the instrument, it is concluded that the height of the high wall is 27 meters.
The high wall seems to be made of skeletons. Looking around, every section of the city wall is filled with the bones of a large number of creatures.
Among them, the spine and sternum have the largest number, followed by the skull, and then various broken bones.
They were reddened by the light of the river of lava, as if every inch of the wall was poured with blood.
Moreover, the entire section of the Skeleton King's Wall was filled with a gray haze. They floated around, and it seemed that even the king's city had been occupied by them.
On the top of the Skeleton King City, at intervals, there will be a plant that looks like a mushroom.
Those things have thick roots and wide umbrella handles. I don't know what they are for.
The general of White Frost Castle wiped off his sweat, and said in a deep voice, "Rest on the spot, replenish water, and go deep into the royal city in 20 minutes."
The team members nodded silently and found a relatively shady corner for news. They ate quietly and replenished water.
It took 10 minutes to eat.
For the next 10 minutes, they closed their eyes and took a short nap.
When the time came, they opened their eyes one by one, checked their weapons, and prepared to set off.
"Are you ready?" The general glanced at his team.
Every member of the team nodded, and the general said: "Okay, let's go."
They explored forward, and as they moved forward, the mountain path became wider and wider, and in the end, the mountain path was already connected with the platform that supported the king's capital.
Although due to the angle, the exploration team can only see a limited corner of the royal city, but it still gives people a very grand feeling.
Seeing that the city wall was in sight, the general raised his hand: "Stop."
"Curt, first take a sample of the smog and analyze its composition." The general was worried that the smog was poisonous.
In the reverse world, you can never be too careful.
The one named was also a hunter. He quickly took out a gas mask and put it on, and then took out a gun-like instrument.
The hunter named Curt walked to the vicinity of the haze alone, extracted a unit of mist with the gun-shaped instrument in his hand, and then turned back to analyze the mist inside.
Soon, the gas composition list came out.
Kurt took a look and said with numbness, "There is poison in the fog."
"There are many kinds of toxins, and one of them has a large proportion."
"This toxin can disable our blood clotting function, wait... God, there is something in the fog."
"It's a living thing!"
In the base car, everyone in the conference room couldn't help standing up when they heard this sentence.
Soon, a set of pictures appeared on the screen.
This is a magnified view.
In the screen, a bug-like thing can be seen wriggling. The worm's body is slender and translucent, and some tiny spots on its head form the pattern of a human skull.
There are two hooks at the tail, and the body surface is covered with fine fluff.
The voice of the general of White Frost Castle came from the screen: "We found that there are bugs floating in the fog that are difficult to see with the naked eye. If you enter the fog rashly, you may encounter accidents."
"This kind of bug is very small, and only a closed full-body protective suit can prevent them from coming into contact with the human body. At present, we don't know what harm these things are."
"What is known so far is that they should secrete toxins and make them remain in the air."
"I plan to use the floating camera to go deep into the capital. If there is fog inside, then we may have to return first."
Lin Jianping nodded: "Alright, General Dai Lin, be careful, don't force yourself."
"OK."
Outside the royal city, after obtaining the consent of the commander of the expeditionary force, General Dai Lin asked Curt to control the hovering camera and let it enter the fog.
Soon, the floating camera penetrated into the fog and came to the city wall.
It flew upwards, gliding against the wall made of bones of many creatures, and after a while, it came to the top of the city wall.
The camera went over the city wall and entered the interior of the royal city.
Through the images sent back in real time by the camera, General Dai Lin and Tian Yang, who was far away in the base vehicle, could clearly see that the huge towering buildings in the royal city were all made of flesh and bones of.
The entire royal city was unusually quiet, and there were no traces of black people's activities.
Through the camera, people also saw that the thick fog covering the city wall did not pervade the interior of the capital, but they surged silently around the city wall and the edge of the capital, like a line of defense.
Seeing this, Dai Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
If it only covers the city wall and the fringe area, he still has a way. Then, the hunter controlled the camera to return.
The strange insects in the mist seemed not interested in the cold instrument without any living beings, neither attacked nor attached to it.
After recovering the camera, General Dai Lin called a colonel: "Morgan, build us a bridge."
As a rank 6 'Apostle of the Earth', the colonel knew exactly what he could do. He laughed dryly, squatted down, and pressed his hands to the ground.
The star energy is transformed into elemental energy, which is poured into the earth continuously.
The ground began to shake, and suddenly, a large rock formation lifted the White Frost Fort team up. The rock formation continued to rise, obliquely across the fog that shrouded the city wall, and probed into the interior of the capital.
At this time, the gray mist that had been quietly pervading boiled up.
The strange insects floating in the air locked their targets. They squirmed in the air, quickly swam up into the air, and gathered towards the White Frost Fort team.
General Dai Lin roared: "Go away!"
The general's fighting spirit exploded, forming a circle of air waves that spread around.
The air wave was everywhere, the fog dispersed, and the strange insects in the air burned up one after another and fell to the ground.
Daelin erupted three times, all of which prevented the gathering gray fog from approaching. At this time, the stone bridge had crossed the city wall, crossed the fog-filled area, and came to the fog-free area.
"Go down!" Daelin shouted.
The team members jumped down one by one, and the height of more than 30 meters was not a problem for them.
Finally, Dai Lin jumped off the stone bridge and landed on the ground, carrying the Colonel 'Elemental Heart'.
Looking back, although the gray mist was boiling, it had no intention of spreading to the interior of the capital.
After falling to the ground, Dai Lin realized that the ground under his feet was not a rock formation, but a piece of dark red crusty substance.
In addition to the flesh and blood buildings in the capital, Dai Lin frowned: "It's like walking in the corpse of some huge monster."
Fortunately, although the environment looks terrible, there is no smell of decay or corpse in the air.
There is no smell in the air.
Next, if the normal process is followed, the exploration team should first explore an area, find suitable buildings, build a camp, and prepare for the arrival of other exploration teams.
However, looking at the buildings made of flesh and bones everywhere, even Dai Lin is unwilling to enter any of them. He just wants to go deeper and find out as much as possible about the "Flesh King City". situation, return to the base vehicle.
Therefore, after he briefly reported to Lin Jianping, he led the team to move on.
They easily found a wide avenue and followed this avenue deep into the royal city. After a while, they saw a huge high platform.
There is an imposing palace on the high platform.
"Let's go up and have a look."
Daelin took the lead to step on the first step. The main body of this step is gray-white bones, with hardened flesh sticking to it.
From time to time, on the steps, you can still see the complete skeletons of unknown creatures. It seems that when these creatures were still alive, they were directly buried in the steps, allowing them to die and decay.
Affected by the atmosphere of the capital, the exploration team did not have any communication. They buried their heads in the deadly atmosphere and hurried on their way. They just wanted to complete the task quickly and leave this depressing place.
In a blink of an eye, the top of the high platform is in sight.
But at this time, Dai Lin stopped suddenly, because he saw two tall figures embedded in the wall on both sides of the gate of the palace on the top of the platform!
