A ferocious fire-bellied monitor lizard half-crouched on the ground. Even so, it was as tall as a person. Under its belly was slowly flowing lava. The high-temperature lava of nearly a thousand degrees not only did not destroy its limbs, but provided it with
Battery life energy.
This is a very suitable battlefield for the Fire Belly Monitor.
As far as the eye can see, dark red lava can be seen everywhere. Some of it flows down from the mountains, and the other part simply gushes out from between the severely cracked strata. Although it is not as powerful as an explosive eruption, this kind of land is cracked everywhere.
The scene that seemed like it could completely collapse at any time was equally thrilling.
In a similar environment, the fire-bellied monitor lizard has killed countless intruders, and its total size can even fill the crater behind it. Almost all prey cannot resist the fire poison it sprays, and it is difficult to block it.
Controlled destructive lava.
But at this moment, it had not been able to cause any fatal damage to the metal creation in front of it. Instead, it had its tail and one forelimb cut off, losing most of its mobility.
The lava fire light intersects with the gray skylight, but it is difficult to illuminate the specially processed armor coating. It seems that there is always a vague dark area. This gray-black metal creation is only about 20 meters away from it. In the past, it could have been
It swooped in, but now it can only desperately accumulate strength, use the special abnormally evolved abdomen to absorb the heat energy of the lava, and then open its mouth wide...
"Buzz!"
The heavy alloy short javelin carried the electric light, penetrated through the fire-bellied dragon's mouth, and penetrated half of its back. It exploded like a high-explosive ammunition, slurry bursting out, and scales flying everywhere.
Immediately, blazing electric fire was ejected from the monitor lizard's mouth, eye sockets, wounds and even the cracks in the scales. The two-ton fire-bellied monitor lizard shrank in a circle in the blink of an eye. Its special characteristics evolved from aberrations.
The body structure was also completely destroyed by this round of killing.
The high temperature of the lava was finally revealed at this moment, swallowing up half of the giant lizard's body in just one breath. However, the blood-colored light still shone through the burning flames of the giant lizard.
Electromagnetic Striker No. 1 silently stepped forward, stepping on the flat head of the fire-bellied monitor lizard and the slowly flowing magma, towards the top of the hill.
The body modified based on the Sergeant X-2 model does not have the ability to resist lava for a long time. However, when the high-temperature lava tried to swallow the metal feet, it was repulsed by an invisible force and slowly detoured away.
In this way, No. 1 crossed the fire-bellied monitor's defense line and stepped onto the top of the erupting volcano. Now, the volcanic area shown in the optical imaging system is a real volcanic area.
Within a radius of hundreds of square kilometers, there are dozens of large and small craters, at least 70% of which are emitting thick smoke, and even lava is overflowing. Dark red lines of fire crisscross the earth, cutting this area into pieces.
Fragmented.
After killing the fire-bellied monitor lizard, Ronan had actually completed the first phase of his goal. Although the "guardians" who had retreated under the control of the Vulcan Ants had gathered in the center and rebuilt
The defense lines can be limited by their own conditions. Most of them cannot drill into the ground, bathe in lava, and enter more core areas.
No. 1 is fine.
Under Ronan's control, this combat machine, protected by a strong magnetic field shield, stepped directly into the boiling lava pool below - of course, it was just passing by, and soon it locked on a gap somewhere in the inner wall of the volcano, blasting
A section of rock that had just solidified and accumulated recently was opened, revealing a narrow crack illuminated by lava inside.
"Morun's civil engineering is pretty good."
What should be praised even more is that Ronan's meticulous sensor reconnaissance in recent days has allowed him to maximize the use of terrain factors to open up this "subway line" and bypass the congestion on the ground.
No. 1 is not the only passerby in this narrow passage.
Under your feet, the lava is like a flowing stream, extending further into the fissure. In the hissing flowing lava, densely packed Vulcan ants line up in columns. Using the power of the lava, they speed up their swimming, and their speed is no slower than a normal person walking.
How much.
Vulcan ants do not have complete individual thinking, but they have a strong group consciousness. Ronan can feel the faint evil thoughts coming from the void, but this group of Vulcan ants is still under a high degree of discipline and ignores
The damage caused to the team by one step of the combat machine continues to flow back to the core area.
The ant colony here has not yet finished its formation, and there is another "buzzing" sound in the dusty air, as if locusts are passing by.
A red cloud of blood suddenly emerged from the rock gap on the side. It was hundreds of thousands of winged Vulcan ants. They did not have the ability to fly long distances, but they could still fly in such a narrow passage.
Push forward at a faster pace.
This speed was almost the same as the advancing speed of No. 1, so of course No. 1 was submerged in the blood cloud.
In the long and narrow rock gap, lava and blood clouds extend all the way forward. In a certain section in the middle, electric fire flashes irregularly. This is a phenomenon caused by the electromagnetic shield repelling and killing the surrounding Vulcan ants.
The surroundings were densely packed with flying ants, and there was lava under their feet, which were remote-controlled combat machines, not the person himself. Otherwise, Ronan really couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to maintain a stable state of mind.
The same Vulcan ants crawl in lava and fly in rock crevices, but they are quite different in size and body structure.
But in a volcanic area, this is not surprising. According to Ronan's two-day reconnaissance, there are hundreds of Vulcan ant nests within a radius of 200 kilometers, widely distributed, and inside each ant nest, the direction of aberrant evolution is
They are all somewhat different, and because Vulcan ants have a short lifespan and are replaced very quickly, differences can be quickly formed in a short period of time.
This is simply a large laboratory of genetic mutation.
The "branch" of this wilderness laboratory each has its own scope of activities, has a strong sense of territoriality, and sometimes even fights with each other. But they all have the same source and belong to a "den of distortion". Between the headquarters and the branches
There is a direct subordinate relationship between them.
Now that the headquarters is in trouble, all branches are coming to help.
Ronan only had a few days of observation, and he still didn't know what these Vulcan ants would do when they got together.
But he didn't want to add any more variables to his plan, so he controlled No. 1 to speed up. In the blood cloud that filled the rock gap, the frequency of lightning flashes increased significantly, and there were also continuous crackling sounds. No. 1's forward speed had increased.
Three times, the strength of the electromagnetic shield is also increased accordingly to prevent underground "guardians" who may come out at any time.
"Electromagnetic shield", a high-end technology that has not yet been realized by earth's technology, is formed by the reintegration of the seed imprints of the colonized combat machines. This forms a fulcrum with the electromagnetic striker No. 1, which permeates the surrounding area and can be freely retracted and retracted.
Strong electromagnetic field field.
This is the prototype of the extraordinary realm originating from Jintong. Being able to achieve this effect proves that the potential of seed imprints has entered a new level. Under this stimulation, the corresponding functions in the God-binding hoop and the virtual brain system
Information is also activated one by one, providing Ronan with more detailed and comprehensive application techniques.
Of course, the carriers of these application technologies are all incomprehensible hieroglyphics. Ronan was able to decipher part of them with great difficulty by relying on the even more wonderful word "I".
The Shenhuan, the only trophy after killing Jintong, must have caused a lot of trouble to its former owner.
Under such circumstances, he was able to break into the extraordinary realm. I have to say that that guy Jin Tong is really a genius.
High-level skills require high-level consumption. In the Gear Underground Laboratory two thousand kilometers away, Ronan was breathing evenly in the simulation chamber to adapt to the increasing pressure.
Currently, in the driving force of Electromagnetic Striker 1, the energy and transmission system built into the body have taken a back seat. The main power source comes from the space interference of Ronan's soul power, which is only the electromagnetic shield.
What is consumed is the amount of energy, plus the natural loss of remote interference.
Even with Ronan's soul power reserve, it's still quite difficult. Fortunately, as he approaches the core area, strands of wonderful energy are seeping from the depths of the void, and they are getting clearer and stronger.
"Okay, very good!" Ronan sighed. This supplementary benefit is nothing compared to the overall consumption, but it is a very positive feedback.
There is no energy in the world that is like water without a source or a tree without roots. It must have a source and process of transformation. Ronan is fully aware of the entire process, which makes him feel more confident and excited.
The speed of No. 1 has increased again. It is not only advancing towards the set goal, but also tracing the source of that energy transformation.
About ten kilometers further forward, No. 1 has replaced two stratigraphic fissure tunnels. One of them is a shortcut just created by the earthquake. It is precisely because of this timely change that it has escaped the even more crazy killing and interception of the guards.
, even so, No. 1's left arm was finally burned and deformed by a tyrannical mutant that could turn into lava, and a large piece of the armor on his chest was blown away, exposing the deformed components inside.
As for the narrow passage behind, a layer of burned ashes has been laid out, slowly rolling along with the flowing lava.
At this time, there was at least a 90-meter vertical gap between No. 1 and the surface. The roars of the aberrations had disappeared, but the violent stratigraphic turmoil caused by volcanoes and earthquakes still filled the passage with noise, eventually forming a turbid
The rumbling sound.
Ronan handed over the task of analyzing environmental sounds to the auxiliary computing system to avoid terrain changes that could cause devastating damage. As for himself, he focused all his attention on penetrating the depths of the surrounding dark void and exploring the abyss area.
There, a faint curse sound was swirling and continuing. It was the music that arose when the energy turbulence in the abyss area passed through the special structural form.
As the output gradually stabilized, the mantra became clearer and louder. Later, it was like a majestic and even fanatical chorus:
"Blood, blood, blood!"
"Fire, fire, fire!"
It was in this beginningless and endless chorus that the void and material levels of the abyss set off violent and violent waves.
