Monarch of Evernight: Deep in the Eighty-One Beast Nest

bsp;After a while, the battle ended. In order to prevent the werewolves from suffering too many casualties, Qianye also raised his sword and joined the battle, using the most clumsy method to kill the strange beasts one by one.

After the werewolves finished cleaning the battlefield, Qianye entered the forest again, igniting the fire of the force in the morning light, and once again led to a wave of strange beasts.

The number of this wave of strange beasts is much smaller, only three to four thousand, and their strength is not very good. This time, there was no need for Qianye to take action at all. Eskar led the werewolves to harvest them all.

Qianye went into the forest twice more, and gave up after seeing that he couldn't find anything else.

This does not mean that the entire area has been cleared. There are obviously strange beasts lurking in the forest, but they also know the fear and are unwilling to come out. Knowing that fear is a good thing, beasts that know how to be afraid will not rush to challenge Qianye's army that is armed to the teeth.

Since the alien beasts are not coming out, Qianye doesn’t want to bother trying new ways to activate them in order to kill them all. In the new world, the most important thing is to master the rules, not to kill without any benefit. He began to walk in the forest and explore its secrets. The area where the three sacred trees are located is naturally the first place to go.

After a few days, most of the many alien eggs that were originally piled under the holy tree have disappeared, leaving only a few particularly thin ones still soaking in the pool water. The liquid level in the sap pond under the tree is much lower, and the rock island in the pond is correspondingly larger. There is only one base left of the stone chair on the island, and there are still a few stalagmites standing here and there.

Qianye opened his true vision and saw that the missing scout team members were still buried in the trunk of the sacred tree.

This time nothing could hinder him. Qianye jumped under a holy tree, and Dongyue slashed open the trunk of the holy tree with a wave of his hand. The holy tree trembled for a while, let out a cry like a baby, squirmed under the cracked fracture, and then spit out a human body, and then the sap became viscous, sealing the fracture like glue.

It was a human warrior, naked, with pale skin, and many small holes on his body, all of which were marks left by the branches of the holy tree. After landing, he seemed confused and struggled to get up. He also wanted to return to the holy tree, but his limbs were weak and he could only struggle and squirm in place.

Qianye squatted down, raised his face, and looked at it carefully. This soldier's eyes were hollow and cloudy. He had lost focus a long time ago and his eyes should have lost their function. There was a strange smile on his face that remained unchanged, with no physical signs of struggle or anxiety at all.

Qianye's heart sank slightly, and he already had the answer.

This warrior's body is still alive, but his will has died, and he is nothing more than a walking corpse. Then the other warriors in the trunk of the holy tree must be the same.

Qianye stood up and was silent for a while because of the bad news, and then tapped Dongyue on the trunk of the holy tree. The holy tree trembled again, and the bark opened a crack on its own, spitting out the bodies of the human race and werewolf warriors inside. Not only this one, but the other two sacred trees were also identical, spitting out the warriors in their trunks.

It can be seen that these three holy trees are all wise and quite advanced.

Qianye moved the corpses of all the soldiers to the clearing outside the forest and waved out a force flame. Under the flames of dawn, these warriors who had become walking corpses were reduced to ashes, ending their fighting lives.

After doing this, Qianye returned to the three holy trees and asked: "Can you understand what I am saying?"

The sacred tree stretched out a branch and pointed to the small island in the middle of the lake.

Qianye jumped onto the island and observed carefully. The submerged part of the island is entirely covered with roots of the sacred tree. It seems that this island is formed from the secretions of the roots of the sacred tree. The lower part is made of stone, but the protruding stalagmites have a metallic luster. It seems that only the stalagmites have both rock and metal properties. This part is what six-armed creatures are accustomed to use as weapons.

It can be seen that the preciousness of stalagmites is beyond imagination, at least the way it is produced determines that the output will be extremely limited. Qianye decided to retrieve all the spears thrown by the six-armed creature that day.

In the center of the island are the remains of a stone chair. As soon as he touched the foundation of the stone chair, Qianye had a strange feeling, as if he had touched three vague souls. They are vague and fragile, and can only convey some basic emotions, such as fear. Other than that, Qianye cannot receive any more information.

These three minds are obviously the will of the Holy Tree, but the stone chair as a communication carrier has been shattered by Qianye's gun, making further communication impossible. However, if Qianye had not shattered the stone chair that day, he would have faced a much more powerful alien beast army later, and most likely he would not have forced the six-armed creature to fight with the help of its host. If it had been hiding in the forest, Qianye would have nothing to do with it.

From the material point of view, the stone chair is just an ordinary rock, nothing special. As for how it became a carrier of communication and what its principle was, Qianye had no idea. That day he blasted the stone chair with a shot. It was just an instinct accumulated over many years of fighting. He just guessed that this thing might be important to the six-armed creature.

Every rock on the rock island in the center of the lake is the secretion of the roots of the sacred tree and should be of special value. Similarly, the sap lake formed by the three sacred trees is enough for Qianye to send another 100,000 people to the new world. As for other minerals and materials, it is not yet possible to explore and analyze them.

Qianye left the central area and continued deeper. Soon after, deep in the forest, he discovered that there were holes everywhere on the ground and the underground had become a honeycomb shape. The tunnels range from large enough for people to bend down to large enough to pass heavy-duty trucks. Within the passage, there are many branches, all of which are honeycomb-like structures. The size of the hives in each area is different, but the hives in the same area are exactly the same.

It turns out that this is the lair of alien beasts!

Compared with the valley outside the door, the beast's nest here is three-dimensional and extremely huge, like an underground maze-like existence. But even at this scale, it would still be extremely crowded to accommodate hundreds of thousands of exotic beasts.

Qianye jumped into the largest passage, preparing to go to the depths of the beast's nest to find out.

The passage slopes downward, with steep slopes in some places and relatively gentle slopes in other places. Qianye walked along the passage for a while, and branch passages began to appear on both sides. Entering the branch passage, he saw a lair room above, below, left and right.

Qianye randomly selected a room and entered it. It was several meters square and the walls were all made of rock. However, after careful inspection, it was different from ordinary rocks.

There were a few roots on the floor of the room, but other than that, there was nothing. There are no bones and dung that are common in animal dens, and there are no scales and feathers. These strange beasts don’t seem to need to eat, drink or poop.

Qianye casually cut off a section of root. The root was hollow, and a ball of water-like sap suddenly spurted out from the cut. The sap turned thick as soon as it saw air, sealing the break.

Qianye then cut a rock from the wall. There were obvious layers in the cut. The rock was only a few centimeters on the surface, and the inside gradually turned into soil. Qianye cut a few more pieces and found that the rocks were also uneven in thickness. He collected a few samples and put them into Anduya's space, then returned to the passage and continued to explore deeper.

It's one thing to use your senses to explore outside, but it's another feeling to actually enter this maze-like underground kingdom.

The space of the nest is designed extremely rationally, with almost no waste, and the distribution of passages is also designed to maximize efficiency, just like the work of a master.

Qianye looked back and could see the faint light of the sky at the corner of the passage. He reviewed the path he had taken along the way in his mind, but he could not find any light-transmitting design. Qianye didn't pay much attention to the construction details of the beast's nest. He just wrote them down and continued to explore deeper.

He still remembers that when the six-armed creature was chasing him, an ancient will was awakening deep in the forest. Whatever it is, no one this vast and ancient is easy to mess with.

Now that the alien beasts are out and the nest is empty, it is the best time to explore. Even if he encounters that ancient existence, Qianye is sure to escape.

The deeper you go, the clearer the judgment in Qianye’s heart becomes.

The design of this lair is so rigorous that it does not look like an ordinary gathering place at all, but a specially optimized and designed military camp. As he continued to go deeper, a special passage suddenly appeared in front of Qianye. The other passages are all made of stone, but this one is made of wood, with entangled roots forming the walls of the passage.

Qianye strode in without hesitation. His morning fire is the nemesis of all trees.

There are rooms inside the passage. The rooms in the front are mostly empty, but the rooms in the back are full of eggs of alien beasts. Each alien egg is embedded in the walls, floors and even ceilings. Each egg is connected to a root, and it seems that nutrients are transported through the roots.

This floor should be the incubation room. Qianye continued to go deeper, but the room on the lower floor made him a little confused. The space in each room is large, with stone platforms neatly arranged inside. There are rows of pits on the stone platforms. They look like places where alien eggs are placed, but the size is obviously larger than the normal ones he has seen before. Alien eggs are smaller.

Every room here is empty, with nothing in it and no use for it. But there is a whole floor of such rooms in the beast's nest, so it cannot be said to be useless.

Qianye put aside his doubts for the time being and entered the next level. When he arrived here, he suddenly became alert and clearly felt that a huge will was awakening.

Qianye Dongyue was in hand, and he moved forward slowly. When he stepped onto the flat ground again, his eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge underground space appeared.

This place is huge and magnificent, and it can be called a giant palace. Below is an underground lake, and the water in the lake is the sap of the sacred tree. In the center of the lake, there is a huge spherical object floating and sinking.

It is gray-white all over, with dark gray lines on its surface, and it is undulating regularly. Standing in front of this huge sphere with a diameter of at least fifty meters, Qianye looked like an ant.

When Qianye came to the edge of the lake, a consciousness touched Qianye's heart and sent a message with an obvious feeling of inquiry.

However, Qianye could not interpret this message. It obviously did not belong to any language that Qianye already knew, and it did not have the ability to communicate directly with Qianye. It's not like a six-armed creature that can overcome language barriers and communicate directly with Qianye using consciousness.

Perhaps seeing Qianye’s lack of response, the giant gray ball issued another interrogation. Qianye still didn't answer and didn't know how to answer. After a while, the giant gray ball issued an interrogation for the third time.

In this way, it will issue an interrogation about every one minute, and the content is exactly the same every time.

Qianye's vigilance gradually relaxed. Various signs indicate that although this giant gray ball is huge and ancient, it has no intelligence, let alone the ability to actively attack. It only has some passive response mechanisms, like a machine that requires manual operation. .
