Chapter 1142 The Light of Destruction
Gordon was originally worried that it would be difficult and even risky to drive an airship into a seaside cave.
But when he actually saw this cave, he knew that he was overthinking
He had never seen a cave of such an amazing scale, with the ceiling at the entrance being more than two hundred meters high. , even wider.
Such a cave entrance, not to mention the cargo airship they boarded, even a giant ship in the sky like the Dragon Sense Ship can be driven in with eyes closed.
Perhaps Mr. Mecca's guess is correct.
This is the real goal of the Molten Mountain Dragon. Only a cave of this size can accommodate its body that looks like a moving mountain and become its "grave passage" to its final death.
After entering the cave, the airship did not go too deep. It found a relatively flat rocky beach and landed on it.
The hunters got off the airship and gathered in groups according to their respective teams.
In order to save the load and space of the airship, and for the safety of the members, almost no editors participated in this mission.
The only people who boarded the airship were Alva, Aibo, and Liang, the two editors of the recommendation team.
Moreover, they will not go with the hunters, but will stay on the airship with several scholars from the research base.
Only after the hunters send a signal to confirm safety or after the battle is over, they will enter the leyline to obtain first-hand research information.
Soon, a total of five full teams composed of ten high-ranking hunters and ten elite hunters completed the final preparation and inspection.
Feng Ying's fang hound companion Amber was requisitioned. Together with Li Feng, it carried heavy ammunition boxes and traveled with the heavy crossbow team.
Without them to help carry ammunition, the strong fire support of the diffusion heavy crossbow team can only be used for one round or at most two rounds, which would lose its practical significance.
It is a little regrettable that there is no hunter's flute in this operation. In large-scale operations, the role of the hunter's flute is particularly huge.
Fortunately, many members are accompanied by hunting cats. There are many hunting cats like Xianglan who have mastered motivational instruments and support dances, which can make up for the lack of this aspect.
"Hahaha! Our investigation team is really strong now. Can we actually build such a team?" The head of the team crossed his arms and laughed boldly.
When the first group of them first arrived in the New World, the hunter barely managed to put together a small team.
Mecca, a hunter from the dragon tribe, also felt the same emotion.
Many of these people were recruited by him personally from across the ocean to the Old Continent, and now they have become the backbone of the investigation team.
After confirming that each team was fully prepared, Gordon looked at the two seniors and said, "Mr. Mecca, please lead the way."
"Of course." Jia chuckled and nodded, "Although we can hardly be called combat effectiveness nowadays, we are naturally capable of leading the way."
"This time, we will be the ones for you young people." Editor, hahaha!" The leader laughed again.
"Compared to these, I'm more looking forward to seeing you once again don your sword and lead the chef to beat monsters together." Gordon said with a smile.
“That’s not possible, we have retired a long time ago!” The leader shook his wild, lion-like hair vigorously, “Now is the time for you young people!”
Faced with this old guy who was obviously in good condition, but wanted to retire and "travel" all over the country, Gordon was a little helpless.
Giving the grand leader and Mr. Mecca a look of "I wish you both were happy," Gordon turned to the hunters and waved, "I've said what needs to be said, no more nonsense, let's go!" ”
The hunters looked at each other and walked together into the entrance to the earth that seemed to lead to hell.
"Rumble--!"
The sound of explosive bombs detonating continuously, the roar of crystals and rocks collapsing, and the sound of fragments flying in all directions echoed in everyone's ears.
The gently flowing underground streams are followed by violent ripples.
“It exploded?” Gordon asked Pork Chop.
Zhupa nodded confidently, "It sounds like it was a success, meow. The road should be clear, meow."
"Let's go!"
The crystalline pillars that originally blocked the passage have been blown down into small mountains of fragments and fragments, which are piled up in a mess in the passage. If you want to get over, you have to use both hands and feet, but Finally passed.
Looking at the pile of broken pieces, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, his nerves became tense.
If something was really sleeping deep in the earth's veins, it would be time to wake up now.
"Everyone, stay vigilant!" he shouted as a reminder.
The swordsmen pulled down their lower armors one after another, and the archers loaded their crossbows.
The teams covered each other and quickly passed through this narrow area.
Since then, the corridor passage has become much wider, and the shallow stream that was originally no more than knee high has expanded into an underground river that can be used by boats.
In order not to get their armor wet, the hunters had no choice but to move forward slowly along the narrow path covered with crystals and stalactites on both sides of the underground river.
"It would be great if we could row a boat." Feng Ying whispered, "It would be so convenient to row along the underground river."
Gordon stared at her through the visor's grille.
Feng Ying hugged her head reflexively. Seeing that the former had no intention of beating her, she shrank her neck and made a "shut up" gesture, and continued on her way obediently.
Gordon temporarily withdrew his gaze.
The reason why he stared at Fengying was not because the latter deserted.
As early as when Zhupa detonated the bomb and blew up the crystal pillar blocking the road, he had focused most of his attention on Feng Ying.
If the "Light of Life" is awakened, Feng Ying, as the resonator, should react at such a close distance, or at least have some sense.
In fact, nothing happened.
Of course Mecca told him about taking the initiative to resonate before, but Gordon didn't intend to let Feng Ying try it.
The distance between them is too close, something unexpected might happen.
Gordon's heart was always hanging on his chest along the way.
In fact, Gordon was not the only one who couldn't let go. Hayata, Ancier, Gale, Mecca, and even Ted all looked at Feng Ying from time to time.
Feng Ying's whole body was numb.
Of course she can guess what everyone is worried about, but she feels that she is in good condition, full of energy, clear thinking, strong limbs, and there is nothing wrong with her.
She even wanted to suddenly jump around and say "rua!" to liven up the atmosphere.
But considering the consequences of doing so, I had no choice but to give up.
After walking like this for a long time, Gordon at the front suddenly raised his fist and made a gesture.
Everyone stopped.
Ahead, the earth corridor suddenly widened, forming huge caves that were not inferior to the previous seaside caves.
On the ground, on the cave walls, and on the roof of the cave, countless crystalline pillars emitting silvery white light pierced out of the rock formations like sharp swords, pointing straight at the dazzling white light in the center of the cave.
No one can tell what it is.
An egg? A cocoon? Or a ball of pure light?
Facing it, even the dullest ordinary people can feel that energy, that amazing energy that is enough to burn the entire continent.
"This is the place where the earth's veins converge." Mecca looked at the light and said to himself in a daze.
Feng Ying is also watching.
Her eyes sparkled with a unique silver-blue light.
Is it the reflection of that light? Is it the brilliance from the inside out? Or is it a bit of both?
"Absorb everything, burn and transform the world"
Feng Ying suddenly trembled and forcibly broke out of the resonance state.
In those few seconds, she felt many things, including the instinctive, simple yet terrifying thoughts of "that creature" in front of her.
At this moment, unprecedented panic and murderous intent filled her mind.
She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Kill it!! Never let it leave here, it will destroy the world!!!" (End of this chapter)
