Even a ventilation duct in the facility built by the Guardian Titan is quite spacious for an average-sized human being.
Perhaps it was Hao Ren's unreliable boss who took a rare look at his employees, or perhaps the goddess of creation had a spirit in the sky to bless his own daughter. The group of people managed to get under the corrupter's nose with almost no trouble.
The bottom crossed the perimeter cordon and got into the ventilation duct leading to the control center.
The power of the Lord of Madness has infected almost everything on Amantir, and the temple and its ancillary facilities are certainly no exception, but this infection has not affected the normal operation of these facilities, such as energy and lighting systems. Ventilation
The gates of the ducts can still be opened, and the internal circulation system and lighting are also functioning as usual. In addition, the silence in the ventilation ducts, if it weren't for the oppressive cold breath that permeates the surroundings, and the seemingly...
With Ruowu's weird smell, Hao Ren almost forgot that he was in the base camp of crazy minions.
"This passage will be very long," Hao Ren walked ahead to clear the way while looking at the map projected by the data terminal. The map was provided by Salaman. It recorded the detailed structural corruption of Amantil before its fall.
There is no need to destroy the fortress that you have already obtained, so most of the areas on this structural diagram are still valid, but its safety factor is difficult to say. "The underground structure of the planetary fortress is intricate, or the underground facilities of this thing are only
It is the main body of the starship. We will pass through several underground factories and mechanical rooms. Although most of the route is inside the pipeline, there will still be a few sections in the middle that lack cover. When the time comes, everyone will adapt to the situation, and concealment is the first priority.
of."
Vivian whispered: "This place is very close to the Great Rift Valley. The underground environment may have changed a lot. We can't completely trust the map."
"Of course," Hao Ren nodded, "but as of now we have nothing else to use except this map."
At this time, the data terminal suddenly reminded: "Attention, there are corruptors reacting above."
Everyone immediately shut their mouths, and Vivian waved her hand to summon a gray-black shadow. The power of the shadow covered everyone and suppressed everyone's breath reaction to a minimum.
After a while, the data terminal cleared the alarm: "We have passed by. Other weak reactions are far away from us."
Hao Ren looked up and saw that the dark vault above the ventilation duct blocked his sight, but he knew that he was passing under a small temple. The corruptors that the data terminal sensed before should be patrolling in the small temple.
Soldier: This is still a shallow area. If you are not careful, you may still be sensed by the enemy.
"The Shadow Canopy cannot be used too frequently." Vivian put away her shadow power after the alarm was cleared. "Although this energy is difficult to detect, it is still possible to be sensed if it is used frequently."
Hao Ren nodded: "Pass this section as soon as possible."
The team continued to move forward in the underground facility. In the huge ventilation duct, apart from the footsteps of a group of people, there was only the ubiquitous low hum and the sound of air flowing through certain gaps. Of course, there would be nothing in a duct.
The scenery worth admiring, coupled with the low and depressing environment here, made Lily feel very uncomfortable: "It always feels creepy...I can't see anyone but I feel like there are people everywhere..."
"Don't say that at this time, okay!" Nangong Wuyue immediately got goosebumps all over her body. She was crawling forward in the form of a sea snake at the moment. After hearing Lily's words, the tip of her tail straightened subconsciously, "Originally, I
I feel like my heart is going crazy..."
Nangong Sanba suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute... maybe it's not an illusion, there is indeed something here!"
Although Brother Sanba is the last in strength among all the people, the "Hunter Skill" in the talent of the demon hunter bloodline gives him good perception ability. Coupled with the fine control skills forced by his own limited strength, he can't see any extreme things around him.
When it comes to weak and difficult-to-detect visions, his reaction is actually the fastest.
So when he opened his mouth, everyone immediately became nervous. Hao Ren immediately looked at the data terminal: "Scan."
The data terminal immediately turned on all its sensors, and a light blue light spread forward along the inner wall of the ventilation duct, while the scanned result image was projected above the terminal.
There is nothing in the tubular holographic image except for some sporadic bright spots, and those bright spots that seem to be interference are actually just waste that permeates the entire space and escapes from the depths of Amantir.
It's just energy.
"This machine has found nothing," the data terminal turned off the enhanced scanning module, "Sanba, are you hallucinating things like hearing and vision?"
"Please call me Nangong," Nangong Sanba corrected with a serious face, then frowned and shook his head, "No... I can indeed feel something around me. It is... a very subtle spiritual reaction.
With weak thoughts, it’s a bit like a ghost, but the thoughts are more chaotic and weak than the ghost’s.”
"I felt it too," Vivian spoke beside her and testified for Nangong Sanba, "but my perception is also very unclear. I can't tell what it is."
Hao Ren looked around cautiously while lowering his voice: "We haven't been discovered yet, so 'that thing' is probably not a sentinel set up by the corruptors, but maybe it is the special energy emitted by the uncorrupted part of Amantir.
Field. Keep moving forward, maybe you will find something ahead."
This little episode aroused everyone's nervousness even more. Even the dizzy Gun opened his eyes wide and concentrated. The cat girl followed Hao Ren briskly on tiptoes. The cat girl's talent allowed her to walk.
Quieter than everyone else.
But while walking like this, she suddenly stopped, and her pointed cat ears turned around on her head alertly: "Big cat, I heard a sound!"
"It's coming from nearby..." Cat Girl squatted down, turned her ears around and whispered, "It seems to be mumbling with something in her mouth... Silly cat, did you hear it?"
Lily didn't care about what the cat girl called her. Instead, she squatted next to Gun with the same serious face and turned her furry ears around to listen attentively. The two beast-eared girls started talking like human sonar.
Search for any unusual sounds in the underground pipes.
The low hum of the mechanical device and the ubiquitous airflow disrupted the clues of the sound. Even if Hao Ren and others had sharp six senses, they could not hear anything wrong at this time, but the super hearing of the cat and dog combination came into play at this time.
After a minute of careful identification, Lily and Gun raised their hands almost at the same time and pointed to a fork in the road ahead: "It's coming from over there! And it's getting closer!"
Vivian immediately summoned the shadow canopy again to cover everyone's breath, and at the same time, it also covered up the weak footsteps of everyone. Under this cover, Hao Ren led the team to carefully touch the bifurcation of the ventilation duct.
mouth, and on both sides of the bifurcated mouth are two empty pipes that look exactly the same.
Elizabeth muttered: "It seems like nothing."
"It's from below, it's from below." Lily reminded. After her reminder, Hao Ren noticed that there was a part of the ground that was made of a different material from other areas. It was a rectangular metal plate with overlapping shapes.
The lines and raised structure seem to indicate that it is a trap door that can be opened.
Nangong Wuyue immediately pressed her hand on the metal plate, and the water flow separated from her body and penetrated into the gaps of the metal plate. Under the power of the water element, the deformable metal plate opened silently
A crack opened, and light shone out from the crack.
There is indeed something down here!
Hao Ren moved up and observed the situation below the pipe through the gap.
According to the map provided by Salaman, this place should be near the great temple where the control center is located. There are relatively dense underground facilities here, so it is not surprising that the pipeline passes through an underground cabin. There are "people" in the underground cabin.
It's even more normal.
What Hao Ren is really curious about is that the gurgling "voice" that Gun heard. Corrupted monsters cannot speak. They have no need or ability to talk.
In Amantir, a place that has fallen into madness, who can communicate with language? Could it be the superior commanders of the Corrupt Legion?
Through the narrow gap on the floor, Hao Ren saw a rather huge room below. The room was brightly lit and equipped with some humongous equipment. However, this bright environment did not make the room itself distorted and depressing.
Atmosphere: All equipment and floors are covered with a layer of dark red lines, which is proof of corruption.
In the center of the room, Hao Ren saw a strange creature.
The image of that creature made his eyes change instantly.
It was a swollen, roughly ellipsoid-shaped huge mass of flesh, like an inflated brain. It was fixed on a circular metal platform, with more than a dozen strips of dark red flesh extending from the bottom of the "brain"
The tentacles, the ends of those tentacles penetrated into a circle of round holes around the metal platform, and underneath the round holes there were a large number of pipelines spreading out, connecting various equipment in the room.
It can be seen at a glance that this "brain" is controlling the things in the room.
The gurgling sounds that Gun heard were coming from this brain, which was talking to itself.
"Landlady," Lily lowered her voice and came closer, "What did you see - let me see it too?"
"I didn't expect..." Hao Ren raised his head with a confused expression, "I almost forgot about this thing... but I didn't expect to see another one here!"
Vivian's curiosity was aroused: "What on earth did you see?"
"It's a brain monster!" Lily had already poked her head to take a look. Before Hao Ren could say anything, she suddenly raised her head and exclaimed in a low voice, "There's a brain monster down there! It was the brain monster we had in Horleta and
The kind of brain monster you saw in Siren City!!" 7432.
