Chapter 308: The remaining soldiers of Feiyan Land (1/3)
In the S-14 underwater channel of Sequoia Base, you can often see the remains of some Warcraft beasts, as well as various extremely ancient metal man-made remains whose shapes and past functions can no longer be distinguished.
This place used to be one of the high-speed channels for underwater transportation in the base. Various materials were transported smoothly through the movement of water. However, after a thousand years, it has become a place close to a sewer. The surrounding monsters will eat the remaining bones or dregs.
Hard bones were thrown here, making it more congested.
At this time, the light was dim.
Even though there is a surge of psychic energy in the field, causing the surrounding water mist to emit an almost lightning-like light, the light is still very weak, and people can only vaguely distinguish who the surrounding skeletal remains belong to.
And at a middle exit of the underwater passage, the survivors of the Sequoia Special Forces and two spiritual weapon church monks had just finished a high-intensity march that was almost an escape. Now they were paralyzed at the entrance and exit of the road, leaning against what was probably a head.
The rib plates of the giant armored crocodile were slowly being repaired.
"This mission is a complete failure." The captain smiled sadly. He was looking down at the Wind-Shifting Sword in his palm. There was an emblem of ivy wrapped around the sun on it, which was the universal bloodline of Absalom.
military badge.
The sword itself is of average value, just an ordinary long sword with inscriptions, but the military badge is a symbol of his honor. It is proof that he has outstanding performance in the battle of Ye Shadow Demon and has been commended by the king.
And this veteran, who has always been proud of his status, is thinking about whether to simply use this sword to kill himself, and it will be over.
But in the end, he gave up this tempting option - even if the entire special forces team was almost wiped out, there were only five survivors including the two members of the Spiritual Machinery Church.
But he still had to survive and tell everything that happened in the South China Sea ruins back to the headquarters and inform the king.
"In the end, it's not my fault."
Everything is due to luck, this is the true thought in the captain's heart.
They were obviously the first team to arrive at the South China Sea ruins group in full force and with the most formal specifications, and they were also the first team to find the brain-eating insect nest!
If it hadn't been for the White People appraiser who inexplicably ruined their good deeds, they would have captured the youngest son of the Ellen family and a master alchemist!
And if these three people hadn't caused trouble, they might have defeated the giant golden centipede, the giant relic weapon, and maybe they could have picked it up when both the crystal dragon and the nest mother worm were injured!
My king, that is a strange relic mutant and a hive mother worm!
Not to mention bringing back live ones, even if they bring back a dragon egg or a living female insect tissue, they will be successful this time!
You must know that the Wild Sea King of Absalom was interested in the special inheritance of the Nanling Sequoia Aboriginals, the 'Symbiosis Worms', and the various primitive poisons in their hands, so he sent their special team here.
Their mission originally included helping the local indigenous people improve various viruses and even infectious diseases, and use biological chemicals to attack the southern border of the empire.
Plague, poison, parasites, violent creatures, triggering hordes of monsters to attack the town... As subordinates of the King of the Wild Sea, they know these methods very well and are extremely skilled.
They will become a disaster for the imperial people. With the smallest number of people, the South Ridge Army will be tied to the local area and unable to support the western plains.
The crystal dragon is okay, no matter how magical it is, it is just a crystal dragon and its value is not great.
But the kind of parasite that can devour human brains and quickly turn people into monsters... and even parasites with a hive psychic network are absolutely worth as much as a pre-civilized etheric weapon.
Even the Apocalypse Armed Forces.
But all of this was completely disrupted by the Imperial people who did not understand the value of these creatures at all.
They killed the mother worm, destroyed the nest, and even...activated the unknown relic function, rushing the body of the mother worm and the nest into the endless blazing torrent.
Including most of their team.
The captain saw with his own eyes that several brothers who had no time to retreat followed the giant golden centipede into the dark abyss with bewildered faces, and were then sealed and cut off by silver metal pipes before disappearing.
What followed was that extreme heat erupted from the pipes, burning everything away.
Failed, completely failed - whether it was the special operations team, or the exploration of ruins; whether it was the task of disrupting Nanling, or cooperating with the Psychic Church's search for fire... all of it was a complete failure.
But it's not a complete failure.
"The Nanling Relics Group does have modules related to the 'alien ecosystem' - the insect nest is one of them! Among them, there may not be relevant information and spare blood reserves!"
Opening his eyes, the captain had already strengthened his confidence: "With this information, we will achieve results."
"and……"
Raise your left hand.
The captain stared at his palm.
There are blue lines spreading there, but they are blocked by the source of matter.
——Not all the brain-eating insects were destroyed... Before retreating, he deliberately allowed himself to be infected and used his own flesh and blood to supply this strange parasite, but he did not allow himself to be completely invaded.
Of course, this is very painful... but compared with the complete defeat, the death of all his subordinates and brothers without any results, this kind of pain is like the gentle spring breeze blowing on my face.
Clenching his palms, the captain closed his eyes and sighed slowly.
No matter what, they are not defeated yet.
"It's over."
However, on the other side, the Sister of the Psychic Church who lost one hand made a voice that was unclear whether it was calm or regretful: "We are all going to die."
"You guy!"
In an instant, the captain was angered by the nun's words.
——A defeatist strategist, right?!
He held the sword tightly in his hand, then stood up and glared at the other party: "If it weren't for your radical request, we would have retreated to the coast long ago, and then cooperated with the fleet that arrived to suppress the Viscount Harrison Port!"
"We can even temporarily replace the dead Sequoia Elder and lead the local Nanling natives to attack Harrison Port - with the firearms troops we have trained, Harrison Port will definitely be surprised, and it will take a lot of energy to resist!
"
"In this way, as long as the viscount and the Nanling fleet are suppressed along the coast, we will have the opportunity to slowly explore this new ruins labyrinth group... There are so many things going on now!"
Although it is said that the captain of the Flying Flame Land Special Forces has a persistent prejudice and hostility towards the Imperial people, if there is anyone he hates the most right now, it is undoubtedly this group of lunatics from the Psychic Church.
If they hadn't been so focused on identifying the relics and holy objects as soon as possible and insisting on exploring the maze first, they might have started to explore here with the most professional team and the protection of the second-level ascendants.
This extremely dangerous prehistoric relic!
However, facing such an angry captain, the nun didn't care at all.
She just turned her head, looked at the other side of the corridor, and sighed softly: "We are going to die."
"Haven't you sensed it yet?" The aura that caused the situation where we originally had a great advantage to turn for the worse, directly led to us being completely reduced to this situation."
"That young anomaly has arrived."
"What?"
The captain raised his head in horror and looked at the other end of the corridor.
At this moment, he did hear the sound of gentle and steady footsteps slowly approaching them from the other end of the passage.
The face of the young Bai Zhimin passed through the dark shadows, and his calm face appeared in front of everyone.
