Chapter 2442 (1/2)
”What's the matter?”
”I seem to smell something else.”
”Other flavors?”
White wave some uncertain said: ”a very strange smell, feel like some kind of biological secretion, but it is mixed with a lot of chlorophyll flavor, it is really strange.”
”Maybe it's a half plant, half animal, intermediate state.” ”This type of creature is quite common in the underground world,” polcerfone said
”But there is a smell of dead bodies in it.” White wave said.
”The smell of dead bodies?” I asked in some doubt.
Bai Lang took another two steps forward, sniffed again, and said, ”it's really the smell of dead bodies, and it's half rotten. It's a bit like the smell of sewing up monsters, but it's not exactly the same.”
”Now our goal is in this direction, no matter what it is, we can only move forward, so there seems to be no need to entangle that?” Asked Christina.
When I heard Christina's words, I also responded and said, ”Kristina is right. Now our goal is ahead of us. Even if there is an army corps waiting in front of us, we have to go there. So we should not worry too much. Let's go there first. The three of us should not be so vulnerable to attack, right
Polcerfone also nodded: ”that is to say, we should have a little confidence in our own strength.”
Now that everyone has said that, white wave no longer bothers about the smell, but starts to take us forward. Because the odor of the target has been successfully identified, the tracking speed of white wave is very fast. At the beginning, it was still searching for the smell, and soon it became full-fledged. Christina and I and Persephone would have followed, but as the Whitewater speeded up, we couldn't keep up. In the end, I summoned the night shadow and rode on it, while Persephone and Christina each had their own mounts, and neither was slow.
After a long journey through the complex underground pipelines, we suddenly entered a rather large underground cave. The structure of the cave is very strange. It looks like the interior of a beehive. Except that there was only one entrance on the wall we entered, the rest of the walls we could see, the floor, and the top of the hole were all filled with holes, large and small, that looked like enlarged sponge tissue.
”What terrain is this?” Looking at the strange hole, Christina asked.
I just looked at it casually and said, ”it should be a lava tube.”
”Aren't all lava pipes smooth? What about this sponge like structure? ”
”Sudden cooling.” I picked out a piece of dark green stone the size of an olive from the rocks on the ground. Half of the stone is transparent, and the other half is black. Handing the stone to Christina, I explained, ”there's so much malachite. This is a lava River, needless to say. But there should be some reason for the lava to suddenly condense and then it's what it is now. A small amount of gas will be mixed in the hot lava. When it is cooled, the rock will condense rapidly, and then those gases will expand into bubbles one by one. Finally, the gas will be lost, and all that remains is a cavity. Then this environment will be formed. However, such a large area is instantly cooled, which should not be a purely natural phenomenon
”There won't be any high-level ice monsters here?” Asked Christina.
”Probably not.” ”There are very few ice monsters that live underground, and they should look for cool places to live in,” I explained. ”It's impossible to freeze the lava and live in such a place.”
”Yes.” Christina sighed and then asked whitewave, ”whitewave, have you confirmed the position of the target?”
”The target should be near here. I smell a strong smell here, but the location of the other party is uncertain for the time being, so I need to look for it carefully.”
”Hurry up, then.” I said, then released the dart, and then said: ”check all the nearby caves to see if there is any danger hidden in the dark.”
The dart nodded to me and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After that, we could see that there was a flash of light passing through the holes around. In fact, it was the dart searching for each channel, but because of his speed, only one side of the white streamer was flashing there.
Because the speed of the darts is too fast, it seems to us that the surrounding holes are all shining in turn, and then all the way can pass. Finally, when the light flashes far away, it gradually disappears. While searching for darts and whitewaves, we were gradually moving forward, but before we got out of 50 meters, we suddenly saw a flash of white light in front of us, and then the dart came to my shoulder, jumped and pointed to the front and yelled: ”there is a disgusting monster ahead!”
”Ah? Monster? ” I grabbed the dart and asked, ”what kind of monster are you running into? What's the size? ””It's a strange monster. It feels like a big pile of rotten vegetable leaves. There are many people's hands and feet on it. It's so smelly and smelly. Moreover, there is a strange light spot revolving around the monster. I just looked at it and ran back, but it hasn't found me yet. But if we push forward, we'll soon meet it. ”
”How far is that thing from us now?”
”About ten kilometers.”
”So far away?” Asked Persephone in surprise.
Christina wanted to know more about me than Persephone, so she explained, ”the long favorite is an aurora arc, which can move at the speed of light. For him, more than ten kilometers is the distance in a blink of an eye, so you may think it's quite far, but it's not very far for him.”
Polcervogne nodded to understand, but he was still surprised. The disadvantage of the Olympus Protoss is that they are slow. In the past, there were few people who could fly, so when our guild attacked the Olympus Protoss, we almost all played guerrilla warfare, and all of them were defeated. In contrast, the Olympus Protoss was only hit at the passive defense, the reason was that the speed was too slow to keep up with our rhythm.
After I got the information about the DART's discovery, I sent the dart out to let him go beyond the monster's location and continue to explore, and we moved towards that direction. Darts are very good at crossing enemy lines, because no one can keep up with him, so even if they find him, they can't intercept them at all. After the dart passes through the monster's location, the monster begins to move in the direction of the dart. It is estimated that it has found the dart, but at the speed of the object, it is basically delusion to catch up with the dart.
”I think the next part of the road is better for you to go by yourself.” After searching for some distance, the white wave suddenly said.
I asked him with some doubts: ”why do you say that?”
Bai Lang said helplessly: ”the thing I found before the dart may be the target I first smelled. The smell of this thing is so smelly. Now I feel that it has completely covered my sense of smell. Now I can't smell anything except that smell. Now that we're so far away from that thing, once we get close to the monster, I suspect I'll faint
Christina nodded. ”I don't want to talk about you. I can smell the obvious smell now.”
Polcerfone also followed: ”the taste is quite strong, I noticed before, but now it has become more serious.”
I thought about it a little, but I still agreed that whitewave would disappear for a while, and let him come back after we solved the monster. White wave got permission and immediately went back to the training space. The air outside was a torment to a creature with a keen sense of smell.
After the white wave left, we continued to move forward. Not too far away, we began to find that the odor in the surrounding air was rising rapidly. Now I have to put down the mask and let the armor filtration system filter the air for me. Otherwise, the smell will definitely smoke me to death. Polcerfone and Christina do not have such things as face armour, but Persephone can use a kind of magic called air boundary, which can play the general effect of gas mask. Although it has no defense, it is definitely a class one in terms of odor isolation.
After using the protective measures, we went a short distance and just came across a small turn. After turning the corner, we saw the monster almost immediately.
As the dart describes, the monster in front of him is like a garbage heap made up of a pile of rotten vegetable leaves. And then there's a huge yellow layer of green on top of the leaves. Between those huge leaves, I could see the remains of many creatures exposed. The owners of these stumps are very messy. There are humanoid creatures and non humanoid ones. They feel like creatures that can be found in the underground world. Of course, none of these creatures are alive.
”What kind of monster is this?” When Christina saw it, she couldn't help asking. I've met so many monsters before, but anyway, those monsters can always find some shadows of them in reality. Both animals and plants have some morphological basis. But this thing in front of us is totally irrelevant to living things, at least in Christina's attempt, there is no such creature in reality.
In fact, it is not true that there is no such thing in reality, but Christina doesn't know about it. At least I know that there is a kind of Anemone that looks like this thing. However, although the tentacles on the sea anemone are the same as the shape of vegetable leaves, the leaves of others are pink. This thing is really like the rotten color of vegetable leaves, with yellow in green, and a little burnt.
We looked at the monster for a long time. Except for the rotten vegetable leaves and the biological stumps exposed between the leaves, we didn't seem to find any structure like eyes and legs on this thing. Although this thing has been moving since we appeared, it seems to me that this thing may be completely dependent on peristalsis. However, it has to be said that this thing wriggles very fast, which is almost the speed of normal people's trot. Of course, considering the diameter of more than ten meters and the height of seven or eight meters, this speed is not fast. After all, if the average Warcraft grows to this size, the speed must be much faster than this guy.”What are we going to do now? Just go ahead and get rid of that thing? ” Asked Persephone.
I thought for a moment and said to Christina, ”you can get an Elemental creature to try it out.”
Christina nodded and snapped her finger. Then she saw the wall around her wriggle. Then a stone man rose from the ground. This Stoneman is not the same as most of the stonemen summoned by mages. In fact, the real stone man, which is called by ordinary mages, can only be said to have the general structure of a human being. You can see the limbs, trunk and head, but the proportion of that figure is chaotic, and the limbs and head do not have accurate human shape. Therefore, the stone man only has the human form, but has no human appearance.
But the stone man Christina summoned seems to be an exception. The stone man who just got up from the ground is more than five meters tall. Moreover, this guy has a complete set of armor on his body. Even his face and fingers, which are almost impossible to find in normal stone people, have all of them, and can be counted as lifelike. If the stone man stands there and does not move, others will definitely think that he is a man Body sculpture.
After standing up from the ground, the stone man turned around and hit the side wall of the cave with one blow. As a result, half of his arms were smashed into the wall with one fist. Then he pulled out a wolf toothed stick made of stone from the wall. Although there is nothing special about this mace, it is like a softball stick, but you can imagine from this volume that if it is waved and knocked on people, its power is absolutely terrible.
