Zerg: Desolate Star and Moon - Chapter 49
The next day, Xi Lan was woken up by Yin Ze, and there were conversations from several other people outside the tent. Xi Lan sat up with her body propped up, looking a little sleepy.
After walking out of the tent, Yin Ze finally saw Xi Lan’s appearance. He frowned and said, “Why did you look worse than yesterday after you rested? Can’t you sleep?”
Xi Lan shook his head and didn’t say a word. In fact, after everyone fell asleep last night, he used his mental power to investigate the situation in front of them as before. However, this exploration was far less fortunate than before. He was able to know that from here along the cave After about half a day’s journey, you can go out, but the end of the mountain road is completely covered by a barrier. It seems to be surrounded by a powerful energy, and the mental force can’t detect the situation. It is definitely not by virtue of The barrier that can be set up by manpower must be hidden by some mechanism or energy device. Xi Lan was not at ease and spent a long time trying to crack the barrier. Fortunately, although it took a lot of effort, he finally succeeded in cracking it. .
But no matter what, he is still a little worried. His mental power has not fully recovered, and it is not enough here. They have encountered such a powerful mental barrier before they really entered the urban area of Silver Feather City. If they go inside, He didn’t know what kind of situation he had to face, this underground city was much more dangerous than he imagined.
Yin Ze didn’t know what Xi Lan was hiding, but seeing that his face was a little worse but his actions were normal, he was relieved. All right.
A few people determined that nothing had fallen, and then walked forward.
The next thing is as expected, just like what Xi Lan explored with his mental power last night, they walked along the cave dug by the former explorers, and they did not encounter any danger, and arrived smoothly after five hours. hole.
From the entrance of the cave, there was unexpectedly a little light all around. The light came from the stone walls on both sides. Everyone looked at the light source and found that the glowing things turned out to be some moss-like plants growing on the stone walls. .
“What are these?” Xi Lan was a little surprised, she was about to walk over with the lamp in hand, but Yin Ze, who was beside her, grabbed her wrist.
Yin Ze shook his head and said, “Don’t rush over if you don’t know what it is.”
“It’s alright, it’s not anything dangerous.” It was Qi Yi who followed them all the way. This Asian female has recovered her calm appearance since the morning, and seemed to be trembling in the tent last night to Yin Zeliang. The person who asked for help had nothing to do with him. He walked slowly to the wall, lowered his head and peeled off a piece of moss, and spread it out in his palm for everyone to see: “This is fluorescent moss, I’ve heard people say this before. In addition to the underground city, there are also forest caves in the extreme south, they fluoresce in the dark, but if they are peeled off the stone, their light disappears.”
Everyone looked at the moss in his palm, and there was no light left.
Xi Lan was amazed by this, Qi Yi smiled and said: “Fortunately, there are a lot of moss growing around here, so it seems that we don’t need to light the lights.”
Everyone put away the lamps in their hands, and with the light of a lot of fluorescent moss, they can clearly see the appearance of the surrounding.
There are several broken low walls where they are, and there is a huge gully ahead, but fortunately there is a stone in the middle of the gully enough to pass through, and it is not clear whether it was formed naturally or the people who later explored it themselves.
Because they didn’t know whether the bridge made by the stone was strong or not, a group of people decided to go over separately. TEDA took the initiative to want to go there first, but was stopped by Jia Yan next to him. Jia Yan helped her glasses and showed a smile. : “I’ll come first, I don’t like waiting here.”
Without waiting for other people to make a sound, he walked over first, the stone was firmly embedded in the middle, without making any sound, it seemed safe enough.
Leiji shrugged helplessly, and followed Jiayan, followed by Leiji and Qiyi. When they all passed, Yin Ze said to Xi Lan, “Go first, I’ll watch you.”
Xi Lan had already found out that there was no danger here, and he did not refuse. He walked over first, turned around and waited for a while, and Yin Ze also came over smoothly.
However, at the same time that Yin Ze stepped on the ground, the ground suddenly shook for a moment, and the finely broken stones behind him made a sound because of the shaking, and fell towards the gully and abyss behind.
Xi Lan was pulled into a solid arm almost before she could regain her senses.
Qiyi next to him screamed, his voice was full of panic, and everyone else responded immediately, but in a flash, the accident was calm. In his arms, he almost thought that what he had done before was an illusion.
Xi Lan calmed down, stood up straight and left Yin Ze’s embrace.
Yin Zeluo retracted his hand unnaturally: “Are you all right?”
“It’s okay.” Xi Lan shook her head, but her eyes looked in another direction.
Although it was only a moment ago, he could feel the mental power fluctuations coming from there. It was the space behind the previous barrier, and the space his mental power didn’t have time to reach last night.
If he didn’t feel wrong, there seemed to be something odd out there.
What exactly is it? Could there be any living things in this ancient city thousands of years ago?
Because there were other people around, Xi Lan couldn’t release his mental power to investigate with all his strength, but his unease became stronger and stronger.
The other people looked different after the sudden earthquake. Qiyi seemed to have finally been shaken off that disguise. His face suddenly turned pale, and he huddled in the corner for a while without moving. But they didn’t notice any more movement. Jiayan and TEDA looked at each other. After confirming that the situation just now didn’t cause any problems, TEDA turned around and asked Yin Ze and the others, “Let’s move on?”
Yin Ze nodded silently, but did not notice the worry in Xi Lan’s eyes.
It’s hard to find the right direction in the dark. All of them are leading the way. After making sure that everything is fine, Reggie went over and pulled up Qiyi who was huddled in the corner, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Are you alright?”
Qi Yi’s eyes were full of daze, mixed with fear, and after a while, he seemed to regain his sanity, and said in a trembling voice, “Don’t go any more, can you?”
Leiji spread his hands, and seemed a little helpless about this topic. He glanced at Jiayan and Taida. The last one who spoke was Taida. He took a few steps to Qiyi’s side, because compared with Yashe, his body was He was too tall, so when he spoke, he had to lean over. He patted Qiyi’s face: “Wake up, don’t ask these questions again when you’re here, and then lead the way.”
Qi Yi’s eyes were full of despair, but after these words, he miraculously stood up again, took out the instrument in his arms, looked at the pointer and pointed in one direction: “There , we should go there next…”
“Okay, hard work.” TEDA said in a pleasant voice, then effortlessly carried Qiyi to Jiayan next to him with one hand, turned to Leiji and Yin Zexilan and said, “I’ll keep you waiting, we’ll continue. Let’s go.”
Jia Yan easily took Qi Yi and supported him, smiled and said nothing.
Xi Lan looked at what happened just now and nodded lightly as a response, but she remembered what Qi Yi said in the tent last night.
What happened so far seems to be completely in line with what Qiyi said. Qiyi was indeed forced to come, and these three female insects who called themselves the sails of the eternal night came here with Qiyi who could recognize the way. What are you looking for?
Judging from their performance along the way, Xi Lan can already see that TEDA is the leader among these people. Jiayan is extremely respectful to TEDA, and although Reggie is silent, he only listens to TEDA’s words, so If he guessed correctly, TEDA should be the person Dan Yao hopes Yin Ze can protect.
But what is the identity of the female worm called TEDA?
Thinking of this, Xi Lan couldn’t help but look over to Yin Ze. He believed that he could see this. Yin Ze should have seen it long ago. What was Yin Ze’s plan?
His eyes fell on Yin Ze, Yin Ze was keenly aware of his sight, but after looking back, he seemed a little hesitant to say anything.
Xi Lan: “?”
Yin Ze hesitated for a while, and finally stopped looking away and said in a low voice: “In serious situations, don’t always look at me like this, wait until you go back…”
Before he finished speaking, the others had already followed TEDA to the front. Yin Ze frowned and muttered something. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Xi Lan was still standing there, and finally walked over and said “I really can’t help you.” He raised his hand and followed him.
Xi Lan didn’t understand what the other party was saying until the back of her hand was wrapped in Yin Ze’s warm palm, and she was led by him to keep up with everyone’s footsteps.
However, it seemed that Yin Ze already had an idea in his heart. Thinking of this, Xi Lan felt more at ease.
Not long after the group moved forward, they had to stop.
There was very little fluorescent moss growing in this place, and something blocked in front of them, and they stood in front of them in pitch black. They had to take out their torches and lamps to shine in front of them again.
The light illuminated the front, and in front of them was a wall.
Everyone looked up, and where the lights were shining, the wall in front of them stretched upwards, and they couldn’t see the end at a glance.
They then looked to the left and right, and the same was true as far as they could see. They didn’t know how high or far the wall was, and it completely blocked the way in front of them.
Qi Yi stared blankly at the scene, standing under the wall.
The expressions of TEDA and the others changed. Jiayan stared at the high wall in amazement and couldn’t help but murmured and asked, “How tall is this thing? Can we go around it?”
“This is the city gate.” Qi Yi answered Jia Yan’s words in a low voice, not so much a response as he was muttering to himself, he covered his face and lowered his head in pain and said, “I can’t get around, this city wall surrounds the entire city. Silver Feather City, they should have closed the city at the beginning, so the surrounding city gates are closed, and all around the city wall are equipped with organs and protection procedures, rashly approaching us will only…”
When he said this, his face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: “By the way, where is the mechanism? I once heard the explorer who came back by luck say that the mechanism in this ancient city is very terrifying, and the technology at that time should not be strong enough. However, no one can crack the mechanism of Silver Feather City. They must have integrated some technology that we don’t know. All those who try to break into the city will die under the mechanism. There were countless strong female insects and experts. They’ve been here before, and they can’t even get close to the city wall… Where is the mechanism, the mechanism?”
He said that in the end, he seemed to have fallen into another level of madness, and listening to his question, TEDA and the others also became alert. Jiayan protected TEDA behind him and frowned: “Everyone, be careful.”
Yin Ze glanced at him and said lightly: “If it’s really like what he said, if we get close to here, the agency should have been triggered long ago.”
Jia Yan hesitated: “You mean, there is no mechanism?”
Yin Ze: “Who knows, after so many years, it may have been cracked by someone long ago.”
Xi Lan standing beside Yin Ze: “…”
It was not until now that he knew that what he had spent all night cracking was the mechanism of the Silver Feather City Wall.
