"The energy flow level is stable, the flow direction is stable, and each energy node is operating normally... The final confirmation has been passed."
"Let's get started. I hope this test can be successful. What is the situation of each tribe now?"
"The new tribal meeting is about to begin. They have no extra time and energy to pay attention to other things. Judging from the current situation, the 'Sacred Mountain' is still the ultimate goal they aspire to."
"Continue to monitor, we have reached this point, there can't be any accidents at the critical moment - huh?"
"The transmission of energy node No. 23 has fluctuated, and the impact level is low. Is it the influence of some high-level energy body?"
"There should be no life energy body at energy node 23. There are undead creatures generated by past experimental devices...intruders?"
"There are magic creations left over from the Adventure Age as protection. Ordinary life energy bodies cannot invade."
"That means the intruder has the qualities of a high-level energy body? Are there any new threats nearby?"
"The data shows that a tribe called the Nasu tribe is migrating near the direction of that node. There is a high probability that the few surviving adventurers who once appeared at the east end of the Endless Bridge are among them."
"They are the adventurers that those who want to resurrect the Magic Empire have met before, right? Huh... what about the Nashi tribe? Aren't they supposed to be responsible for hunting down these exiled losers?"
"The Nashi people are indeed still moving slowly south, but judging from the movement tracks they have left now, they have no intention of further pursuit - do they need to change the surveillance objects?"
"It seems that we need to find more puppets as replacements. Let those who want to follow us go and give them a chance to sacrifice for us... Well."
"Energy transmission tends to be stable, and node 23 enters a slow flow state - the fluctuation just now does not seem to have any impact on this experiment."
"The guidance error rate remains below 1%, which is almost negligible... Since the experiment has not been affected in any way, do we still need to continue to pay attention?"
"Of course we need to keep paying attention. Those adventurers are one of the only unstable factors in the world. Judging from the data we have, these adventurers are very likely to have glimpsed the nature of this world."
"Then let 'them' go. The final energy collection experiment is inevitable. Since we don't have time to leave this supreme land——"
"If 'they' handle it, they should have given enough respect to those beings."
*********************************
"The energy fluctuations have been sorted out."
After falling down into a cave on the edge of the connected area, Duan Qing in gray robe struggled to open his eyes. After trying to get up from the ground, he also set his sights on the man standing on the edge of the strong wind in front of him.
On the back of the tall machine, the other party's electronically synthesized voice was still ringing in my ears: "Detecting the remaining energy fluctuations. The remaining energy fluctuations have calmed down by 35%... The remaining energy fluctuations have calmed down by 23%..."
"How... could it be... at this time..." Then the low voice of Xue Ling Huan Bing sounded in his ears: "My bones... are about to fall apart..."
"No way, who told you two to be caught by that guy?" A lazy voice then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, revealing the figure of Shi Ayun standing deep in the cave with his arms folded.
The gray-robed magician looked into his eyes: "This guy obviously doesn't know how much force to use. He didn't use his big hands to pinch off your fragile little bodies. It's already a pretty good result."
"You, when did you run over here?" Duan Qing's voice became even more surprised when he answered: "You are actually still alive?"
"What are you talking about!" As expected, his surprise caused Shi Ayun to yell angrily: "Are you still expecting me to die? Are you still my companion?"
"Before, you insisted on digging into the underground of this ruins, but we rolled down together to stop you! Don't think that we are really teammates just because we have cooperated several times!"
"Thankfully, I saved both of your lives before, and I helped you block so many enemies just now! Well, since you say so, I won't care about you anymore!"
"Then you should walk. The road is right behind you. You just need to turn around and continue walking deeper into the cave. Even Sayunara, I am too lazy to... What? Is this road a dead end?"
The gradually rising debate gradually unfolded in the air between Duan Qing and Shi Ayun. The conversation that seemed to break the dull atmosphere then fell silent as the strong wind behind Duan Qing calmed down.
Going down, the gray-robed magician who had been paying attention to the direction of the storm then dropped his gaze in front of the motionless back of the tall magical creature. The idea of what he was about to say was blocked by the mechanical body of Kyle II.
The strong wind that passed through the gap instantly blocked it back: "Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough... It was so dangerous, so dangerous, I thought I was going to suffocate just now."
"Before the storm has completely subsided, I suggest you not to be easily exposed in open areas." Then the advice of Kyle II came to his ears: "Please don't be anxious. In thirty seconds, you will be gone."
This energy fluctuation will completely calm down."
"The calming down of the energy fluctuations doesn't mean the calming down of the storm, right? Really... such a powerful storm would appear at this critical moment." Still looking so weak, the voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing followed suit.
rang in Duan Qing's ears: "But is this storm really caused by energy fluctuations?"
"Yes."
Without too much hesitation or too many words, Kyle II answered the humans at his feet with two simple words. His square head, which seemed to be damaged due to the previous fierce battle, also showed signs of damage.
Passing by Duan Qing and others one by one with the light of scanning, the electronically synthesized voice that came from nowhere had no intention of continuing to answer Xue Ling Huan Bing's doubts: "...Uh, so what? This
What exactly is an energy storm?"
"Please check permissions."
"It's permissions again. Do you know what the so-called permissions are?" In the scene where the two players Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing were silent in front of them, it was Shi Ayun's puzzled voice who took the lead from them.
A voice sounded from behind: "Why does it always need to answer questions in this way?"
"Well, if there are no corresponding clues, we may have to stop here." Duan Qing, who ignored Shi Ayun's questioning and sighed, then turned his attention to the body of the white-haired woman beside him.
Around: "How do you feel? Can you still move?"
"There's no problem with my movements. At least the system...at least my body didn't tell me that I had any serious injuries that would affect my activities." Rubbing his waist, Xue Ling Huan Bing struggled to indicate that his hands seemed to be bent.
The huge black barrel was broken: "This thing...isn't this guy broken?"
"It doesn't matter, we can just repair it at most." After waving his hand, Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "The impact and destructive force are enough to cause damage to the gun body made of this material... It is already enough to save one's life.
I’m extremely lucky.”
"We have relied on it to survive until now. We must be grateful." Putting the gun body that was still emitting heat back into Duan Qing's hand again, Xue Ling Huan Bing lowered his head and replied in a low voice:
"I need to recover my shoulder first, otherwise I may really need to lie on a stretcher and be carried away by you."
"Hey, don't I, the inventor, deserve the most gratitude?"
Showing his thumb to the other party, the half-joking Duan Qing then sprinkled a very thin healing energy on the woman's shoulders: "Although we have been despised by other strong men, our physical fitness is at least
It’s still qualified. Things that we originally imagined we couldn’t do and injuries that we couldn’t bear can now be easily endured by us.”
"As the initiator, I have to praise: this experiment was very successful." After patting the other person's lowered head, Duan Qing's eyes fell on the endless wind in front of several people: "Now
… Let’s see what the outcome of the experiment before us will be.”
"Experiment? What experiment?"
"Didn't we have some conjectures before? The functions of the underground laboratory we are in have not been completely shut down." Answering Xue Ling Huan Bing's doubts, Duan Qing still stared intently at the body being used by the tall Kyle II.
The tail of the isolated storm: "Although he didn't say it clearly, Kyle II has already hinted to us in various ways that the next storm is coming. We were so anxious to get parts to repair the bridge.
It’s also to be able to escape before this storm arrives.”
"The storm came as expected, but we didn't finish the journey." The player then sighed again: "If Kyle II hadn't been carried to this place in advance, we would probably be like those skeletons right now.
Let’s just fly in the air.”
"It's not just flying, it might even be torn into pieces." A disdainful voice then sounded behind him, accompanied by Nashi Ayun's suddenly enlightened expression: "Wait a minute, if the ruins
Storms are as regular as the monsoons on the grassland, so why can there be so many undead creatures in this place?"
"Since they are undead creatures, how can they have the concept of fear of death in their consciousness?" Xue Ling Huan Bing raised his head and curled his lips and replied as expected: "They are not afraid of death, naturally.
I don’t have any fear of the storm that is about to pass through this place, so it shouldn’t be strange to stay here.”
"The key to the problem is not whether they have the concept of 'the storm is coming'." Duan Qing pointed to the metal platform that was exposed in the upward strong wind and had been cleaned. Duan Qing's face
A solemn look also appeared: "The problem is that they have not retreated in essence, but now they have all disappeared, which means-"
"There must be some way for these skeletons to reappear in every corner of the underground ruins." He lowered his voice subconsciously: "Either they have a way to go and come back, or there is someone here who can reappear.
These skeletons are 'rearranged' back to their source."
"Underground undead generator?"
Contrary to the continuous whistling from the outside world, the silence lasted for a moment between several people. The slightly hesitant voice belonging to Xueling Huanbing sounded again in a low voice: "Is there a way to create undead here? Are those skeletons refreshed...
Generated?"
"I don't know, there is no evidence to prove this yet." Duan Qing answered her and shook his head slightly: "We have indeed seen these skeletons everywhere.
Similar to magic devices that create undead or transform undead, there are possibilities in every corner."
"If you want to understand this matter, you may need to observe it for a long time." After saying this, his eyes turned to the front involuntarily: "Or - find someone who understands better and ask."
"But the existence of Kyle II shows that it is impossible." Before Duan Qing could finish his words, Xueling Huanbing on the side hurriedly stopped him from asking forward: "The underground laboratory.
If the purpose is to create undead, then what is the reason why Kyle II has been cleaning up these undead threats before? Aren't these undead creatures the products of this experimental area?"
"Don't panic, our current identity and status are guaranteed."
Patting the other party's pale arm, Duan Qing forced a smile at the other party: "We are now 'visitors', a friendly unit, and based on the relationship that we have been helping each other for this period of time, we violated the agreement.
I won’t do anything like that either.”
"I can only make insinuations." He pressed his forehead, and his expression as he moved forward again was filled with a friendly smile: "Kyle II, is this cave not one of the established areas and routes?"
"That's right, visitor." Still using his heavy and thick metal body to block the storm in front of him, the synthesized voice returned by Kyle II also seemed a little blurry in Duan Qing's ears: "This is my temporary dig.
A shelter was used to escape the storm. There is no passage at the back of the cave, and the straight-line distance to the nearest connected area is two miles away."
"Really?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes again: "What is that area called? Is it the target point we are about to reach?"
"No, the magic teleportation area is located opposite the south side of A2, right in front of what we are currently facing." The square head tilted slightly, and Kyle II replied in a calm voice: "The connecting area that we originally needed to pass through
The North and South Bridges in Area A and the Connected Area II should have been shrouded in energy storms now. In addition, the rest area you want to find can only be reached by passing through the North Bridge and Connected Area III."
"Based on our current location, I suggest that you go to the rest area connected to the north of Area III first." The electronic voice flickered on it for a while, and then turned into the calm voice belonging to Kyle II: "
According to my information on a type of life form—"
"You all need to 'eat' and 'sleep' every once in a while, right?"
