Chapter 1027: Dungeon of Death (Part 1)
1026. Dungeon of Death (Part 1)
There are a total of 8 protoss warriors who followed Zelakas along the way, and they are guarded by the temple. Led by Talim, they all wore golden armor with some Kyber crystals inlaid on them to enhance their psychic abilities.
According to Zelakas, the Kyber Crystal can indeed replace the Kaidarin Crystal in the "StarCraft" world to a certain extent. Although there are some differences between the two, they are both for psychic/primordial energy. An existence with extremely strong affinity.
It is precisely because of this that the protoss is quite receptive to this world.
Due to problems with technology and production capacity, the armors worn by these protoss warriors are naturally far less majestic than those seen in the game by Darth Malthael, but even so, the cost of such a set of armor is painful. .
Each protoss warrior has different habits of using psychic energy. The number and position of the Kyber crystals embedded in their armor are also different. Generally, they range from 4 to 8 pieces. In addition, they Kyber crystals installed on the wrist armor to activate the lightsaber. Such a protoss warrior wears almost 10 of them!
Not to mention other things, this one alone costs almost as much as 10 lightsabers. It simply doesn’t take money seriously.
If the Fourth Civilization hadn't occupied the planet Christofsis and had a sufficient supply of various crystals, Darth Malthael really wouldn't be able to support this small group of protoss.
However, seeing these protoss warriors walking directly into an environment full of black dust without affecting their actions at all, Darth Malthael still felt that it was worth it.
He was very convinced that such a protoss warrior could easily tear the Inchori into pieces. The title of the most powerful warrior in the galaxy had already been quietly displaced from the moment he awakened the protoss.
The main continent of the Taris planet is a restricted area for life. On this supercontinent, which is equivalent to the area of two Eurasian continents, life has long ceased to exist.
Even Darth Malthael has seen the tragic scenes of many cities being destroyed and lifeless on the spaceship, but when he sets foot here on the ground, he can still feel a deeper level of fear.
There were many charred corpses around. Darth Malthael kicked one of them and found that the corpse was very hard. It should have been killed by an orbital bombardment by an unknown weapon and experienced thousands of years of Time has become like this.
The dried corpse still maintained the painful posture before death, with its empty eye sockets and mouth wide open, as if roaring loudly.
The closer you get to the entrance of the mine, the more corpses there are, and many other corpses begin to appear in it...
Monsters!
A humanoid monster with only three toes on its hands and feet, but it is thick, sharp, and very deadly. The mouth is large, full of fangs, and has a double-layered one-eye in the middle of the face.
There is no doubt that judging from the half-melted weapons and armored vehicles around them, these people were fighting these monsters during their lifetime.
And these monsters came out of the mines!
"Rakghoulplague [Note 1]." Zelakas squatted down and took a brief look at the corpse of one of the monsters. He completely ignored the possible infection and stretched out his fingers to touch the corpse. I took a little black dust and rubbed it carefully on my fingertips for a while. "It has lost its activity and there is no danger."
"The danger is underground." Darth Malthael said lightly. "Lark Ghoul, this is what is mentioned repeatedly in the records of the Jedi Covenant...that is, the undead army created by Moore's amulet." Zelakas said, "Yes, the so-called undead army. The Summoner is actually the spreader of the virus. "
"The 'only' in your mouth means the death of tens of billions of people on several planets." Lucian Dray. The voice suddenly came out.
It seems that he is still paying attention to the outside and is not sleeping as usual.
"This is a virus that is highly contagious, but completely powerless against psychic energy and the Force. It can indeed be described as 'just'." Zelakas said with the pride of the Protoss.
Then, Temple Guardian Talim walked at the front and went directly underground.
Inside the mine, there are charred corpses everywhere, and it is pitch black everywhere. It is absolutely impossible to expect that there is still energy here.
The Protoss warriors turned on the switches on their wrists one after another, and lightsabers shot out from their wrist armors. The light emitted brought some soft light to the surroundings.
However, the light of the lightsaber cannot shine too far. It is not a concentrated light after all, but they are not ordinary people. They can see everything around them with a little light.
The corpses kept spreading on the ground toward the depths of the mine. They walked along for who knows how long. The mine was complicated and collapsed in many places, like a maze.
But Zelakas seemed to know the route and kept moving forward firmly in one direction.
Darth Malthael had roughly understood what he wanted to do, so he followed these protoss warriors all the way forward.
Zelakas still explained to him: "The Jedi Covenant has been tracking the whereabouts of Moore's amulet, and Lucian Dre sent Celeste Morn to the planet Talis to find it. And The most important basis is that there was a large-scale Rak Ghoul virus infection here."
Dass Malthael nodded slightly.
"The planet Talis has a huge underground city. I don't want to know the history of this planet, but this huge underground city should have been built by the residents to avoid war. The Rak Ghoul virus came from the underground city. The infection began." Zelakas said, "Because the underground city is relatively closed, it was quickly completely overwhelmed by the highly contagious Rak Ghoul virus."
Das-Ma. Sayer nodded and said, "For at least a long process of decades to hundreds of years, the planet Taris continued to fight against the Rak ghouls rushing out of the underground city, until the planet was destroyed by the war. As the old At the end of the Sith War, this destroyed planet was almost forgotten until the Mandalorian War broke out 4,000 years ago. According to records, at least 1 million Mandalorian Crusaders rashly entered the planet of Taris and were destroyed. Endless Lark ghouls were drowning."
A faint golden light began to flash in his eyes, "And they are still there now!"

[Note 1]: I think the translation of Rakhoul virus is more accurate than the original 'Rakhoul virus', because ghoul means ghoul, which is a compound self-created word that is very common in English games. , which can accurately express the characteristics of this virus.
