In order to verify the stability of coordinate transmission, Soma deliberately used coordinate points to select transmission points in the first two times.
It turns out that the teleportation opportunities provided by the game are very reliable, and the error can be accurately controlled within one meter every time.
However, this time, there seemed to be some deviations in the transmission.
According to the coordinate points provided by Connie, Sumo found that he did not appear in the safe house Connie mentioned, but in a dark room with only a dozen square meters of space.
No, this cannot be called a "room" at all.
It is more like a forgotten tomb, an isolated dungeon.
The light inside the dungeon was extremely weak, and it was almost impossible to see.
The only light source comes from the top of the head. A slender red light penetrates down from nowhere, like a blood-colored ribbon swaying in the wind, and like a slowly drifting blood mist. This cold dungeon adds a bit of weirdness and ominousness.
With this faint and strange red light, Somo looked around carefully.
The walls of the dungeon appear extremely rough, like unpolished cement walls, covered with scattered lines and bubbles of different sizes.
Under the red light, many flaws look quite hideous and terrifying.
Suma can even rely on some of the traces that look like handprints to imagine out of thin air that humans were once imprisoned here and struggled desperately to death.
"Wait. There is no exit?"
Up and down, left and right, Somo looked around.
The shape of the dungeon is really simple and crude, with no exits or vents reserved.
The four walls were completely sealed, and the walls fit tightly without leaving any gaps.
"Could it be that Connie has betrayed the alien race and used this coordinate point as a bait to lead me into this death place?"
Subconsciously, this thought arose in Sumo's mind.
This place does look like a well-designed trap, sealing off all possible escape routes.
But soon, Sumo rejected his idea.
Although he did not find an exit, he could feel that the air in the room was not fixed, but was flowing slowly due to the interference of some mysterious force.
Feel carefully, this airflow seems to be a thin thread, leading Somo's thoughts to find a new direction.
Following the trajectory of the airflow and searching carefully, Sumo quickly discovered the clues.
It turns out that those seemingly rough bubbles on the cement wall actually hide channels for air exchange.
Fresh air quietly flows in from the left side of the wall, while exhaust gas is slowly discharged from the right side, forming a subtle circulation system.
"Yeah"
Suddenly, Sumo froze in front of the wall of the room, thinking that he was dazzled.
Just now, the wall on the right where the exhaust gas is discharged seemed to be squirming?
What the hell?
Stretching out his hand, Somo gently touched the gray wall.
The next moment, a special smooth touch made his heart skip a beat.
This feeling is really like the feeling of fat seeping out and floating on the surface after the meat has been frozen in the refrigerator for a long time and is taken out to thaw.
A physiological nausea filled Somo's heart, making his stomach churn.
And before he could continue to explore the strangeness of the wall.
I saw that the cement bubbles in the place I just touched were expanding rapidly, forming a hole for passage in about four or five seconds.
The size of the cavity is small, but it is completely large enough to accommodate the dwarves in Soma's current incarnation to pass through smoothly.
"This is indeed not a simple dungeon!"
A hint of enlightenment arose in Sumo's heart, and he immediately became interested after discovering this magical change.
He guessed that the current environmental changes were not caused by Connie. With her ability, she would never be able to build such a weird dungeon room, and the lion tribe would not like to live in such a dark place.
There is a high probability that this place should be the work of a foreign race.
The mountain range where the Lion Man is located has become one of the base camps of the alien race, and the environment has also been transformed.
"It looks like a place for people to live, but it is obviously not for normal aliens to live in."
Suma carefully observed the situation opposite the cave and found that the interior style was similar to his The dungeon we are in now is pretty much the same.
It is also a completely enclosed room, surrounded by fleshy walls on all sides, with no exits or vents reserved.
The difference is that the room he is in is extremely empty, without any furnishings or debris.
The room opposite the hollow is not only much larger in area, almost 200 square meters, but the internal structure is also very different.
About one-third of the ground has been elevated, and several huge stones are placed there.
The other two-thirds are sunken pools with dark green water and several strange black and red lotuses planted inside.
Gulu.
I felt the wall being opened, and several huge frog heads suddenly popped out of the pool.
Turns out to be a frogman!
"What's going on? Can this wall still be opened?"
A frogman stared at the hole in surprise, his eyes glancing back and forth at Somo.
But the other frogmen were not so friendly, and shouted immediately regardless of why the wall was opened.
“Where are you dwarves from? Get away quickly and don’t pollute our territory, otherwise it will kill you!”
"Don't disturb our sleep, you despicable dwarves, greedy things!"
"Cowards, you damn cowards, you still have the nerve to settle inside the city beast and enjoy preferential treatment!"
frog! The person's strength is very average, but his verbal skills are not weak, and he can spit foam and stars flying in all directions.
If this were placed in modern times, Tuoduo would be the strongest king among keyboard warriors.
Fortunately, Luo You had analyzed the frogmen's language before, and Sumo could probably understand what they were saying at this time.
"Dwarves don't seem to be welcome."
Unable to be noticed by the frogman, Somo took a half step back and returned to his room.
The frogmen on the opposite side are not difficult to deal with, and they can be easily killed even with bare hands, but he is worried about causing unnecessary trouble if he does it.
Before you understand the current environment, it is better to be careful.
Huh.
It seemed that Soma had retreated, and visibly, the hole in the wall began to close.
After a few seconds, the wall returned to its previous appearance, blocking out the dwarf's incessant curses.
“It’s really amazing.” Sumo couldn’t help being surprised and touched the wall again.
But this time the wall did not open a hole for passage like before. Instead, the bubbles flowed slowly and finally revealed a universal symbol of the alien race.
Five.
"Does this represent the cooling time?"
Some symbols commonly used by alien races are no secret in the future ruins.
Sumo counted silently in his mind, and when sixty seconds passed, the symbol on the wall turned into 'four'.
Really!
Although he somewhat expected this change, Sumo was still shocked when he saw the bubbles changing combination symbols with his own eyes.
The methods of aliens are truly unheard of and unseen.
Combined with what the frogman said about the city beast before, Sumo couldn't help but have a guess in his heart. Could it be that his current position is not in the body of this 'city beast'?
Five minutes passed quickly, and Somo touched the wall again.
Sure enough, after the cooling time ended, the wall slowly opened up a passable hole as before.
The few frogmen who had just cursed in the pool had already sunk. Only the frogman who was curious about whether the wall could be opened squatted on the stone and looked straight over. "Why are you here again?"
"It's strange, I can't go to your side, but you can come here?"
The frogman flicked his hind legs curiously, and landed accurately in front of the opened hole.
He lowered his head curiously and tilted his body to see through the hole to see the situation in the room where Somo was.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he squatted down, the inconspicuous and weak dwarf suddenly stretched out his hand.
boom.
A huge force came, and before the poor frogman could react, he was rushed towards the hollow by this force.
The hole that could only accommodate dwarves was not large enough for the large frogmen to pass through.
At this moment, under the influence of huge force, the frogman was forcibly pulled through.
Fortunately, the moment we approached, the hole suddenly enlarged, barely enough for a frogman to pass through.
When the frogman's eyes flashed, he found that he had left the previous pool room and came to a small, narrow and dark room.
Behind him, the dungeon wall has closed again, with the symbol five displayed on it.
"Answer my question, or you will die!"
Sumo spoke half-baked frogman language and looked coldly at the frogman who was obviously several times larger than himself.
“You, who are you?”
The frogman was stunned for a moment, subconsciously about to get angry, but when he thought of the great strength that the dwarf had just shown, his voice involuntarily weakened.
Compared with other alien races, the frogmen's will and fighting power are no different.
In only three minutes, Sumo easily pried the information he wanted from the frog's mouth.
“It’s really unbelievable to be inside the body of a foreign race.”
Sumo’s eyes changed slightly, and after confirming that he was indeed inside the so-called ‘city beast’, he felt a sudden shock in his heart. .
The so-called city beasts are similar to human marching camps.
The difference is that the marching camp needs to be built, and it cannot be moved once it is built.
The city beast can carry all the aliens living inside and move slowly in one direction.
"My luck."
After confirming that the city beast had arrived at this location today, Sumo didn't know whether to say he was lucky or bad.
There should be no problem with the coordinates Connie gave, but she didn't calculate that the city beast would come.
As the city beast covers the original coordinates, the game naturally teleports him directly inside.
Fortunately.
No one has checked into the room yet, otherwise it would really cause a lot of trouble.
"What are the instructions to leave here?"
"It's a spell." The frogman answered honestly, and quickly recited an obscure spell.
At the last few syllables, he stopped and waited for three to five seconds before continuing.
"After reciting it in one breath, the city beast will sense you, and then activate its power to wrap you up and leave."
"Very good."
Suma nodded slightly , the hand holding the frogman's neck suddenly tightened.
A crisp twisting sound was heard, and the stunned expression was instantly fixed on the frogman's face.
Opening the storage space, Somo skillfully put the frogman's body in, took out a pen and paper and copied the spell that the frogman had just recited on it.
"Strengthen the spell, direction: leave the city beast without being discovered by the aliens."
Sumo thought silently in his heart, and the system panel automatically popped up, showing that one hundred special survival points were needed.
There is indeed a problem.
If the spell given by the frogman is correct, system enhancement will definitely not cost such a high price.
Suma nodded slightly and pressed the strengthening button with concentration.
The relatively superficial use of this system will actually waste a lot of points, but for him who currently has tens of thousands of special survival points, it is not a big problem.
A green light scattered out and covered the note.
A few seconds later, a new spell appeared on it.
Comparing it with before, Sumo found that the first half of the sentence was the same, but the few syllables that the frogman continued after he paused had changed.
Obviously, the problem lies in this.
“The spell should be correct. You can leave the city beast after you say it, but the position you appear after leaving should be determined by the following syllables.”
No wonder the system will For a fee of 100 special survival points, it is indeed difficult to find a location near a city beast that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of aliens without being discovered by the aliens.
Keeping the spell in his heart, Soma checked the inside of the room again, cleaning out all the places that might have left traces, and then began to recite it syllable by syllable.
"Modo Suo Moshe Aduo"
After the mantra was uttered, the surrounding walls began to roll over and get closer.
The area of the room began to shrink as if it was dehydrated, and in the blink of an eye only half was left.
Feeling that the four walls were approaching, as if they were going to completely seal the person inside, Sumo couldn't help but feel an extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Fortunately, the wall stopped when it was about one meter away from him, and then began to vibrate slightly.
After about two minutes, a hole slowly opened on the left side responsible for the air intake, like a door quietly opening in the night.
Through the hole, Sumo caught the bright moon hanging high in the sky at a glance, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To him, this alien base camp was indeed laxly defended. The death of the frogman had not yet caused any alertness or reaction, allowing him to successfully find the exit.
However, Sumo also knew clearly that if any other human being fell into the previous room, he would probably be left with only despair and death.
Step out of the void.
Somo quickly ran forward for several hundred meters, stopping only after confirming that the surrounding area was safe.
He stopped and looked behind again under the moonlight, finally catching a glimpse of the city beast.
Like an unshakable mountain peak, its body is astonishingly huge, estimated to be nearly a thousand meters high, standing quietly on the ground.
The upper part wrapped in mist cannot be seen clearly, but the lower part can be seen at a glance with dense, regular and thick scales. Each one is shining with a dark luster, which is even more beautiful under the moonlight. A bit of a terrifying atmosphere.
What is even more shocking is that this city beast is indeed moving slowly.
Under its feet are white tentacles that are dozens of meters long, clinging to the ground and squirming forward.
Although the speed is very slow, if we keep moving forward like this, we can advance at least ten kilometers every day.
“Hey, where did this dwarf come from?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side.
Sumo immediately turned his head and saw a few unclear "behemoths" walking out of the shadows, wrapped in black and white cyclones.
Feeling the familiar feeling coming from the cyclone, Sumo felt relieved.
I have to say, these 100 points are really worth the money spent!
