If it weren't for the little goblin leading the way, Hao Ren felt that even if he wandered around the crystal pillar layer for a hundred years, he would not be able to find the entrance to a deeper level.
Because this entrance is not physical at all!
Under the guidance of the goblin, the group of people went to the depths of the Crystal Jungle, where there was a lake that had turned into solidified crystals. Before the power of madness reached this place, this place was once the most vibrant place in the Crystal Jungle.
A living place where countless wonderful creatures and active energy gather here, but now, the lake seems to have frozen and turned into a whole block of crystals, while in the open space on the shore of the lake, only those that have turned into incomplete crystals can be seen
Fragments of biological remains.
And on the lake that was frozen like a mirror, a beam of light shone from a crystal pillar in the distance, reflected on the lake, and shot toward the sky at an angle.
That is the way to the center of the earth.
"Just go up this road!" The little goblin gestured on the holographic projection and said with a strong sense of pride on his face. "You have to go up to get to the creation of the earth-centered goblins at the bottom.
Isn’t it particularly powerful?”
Hao Ren and his friends were stunned: This is not a question of creativity at all! Is there such an operation?
Hao Ren didn't know what other people thought. Anyway, he immediately remembered the joke about the drunk man climbing up the flashlight beam. But here, driven by the incredible power of the goblins, the joke became a reality.
The road to the center of the earth is really a beam of light, and you can really climb up along the light...
"Are you sure you won't fall if you climb up this thing?" Lily was recommended as the first person to try. She stood at the place where the light reflected on the lake and looked in front of her with suspicion.
The beam of light tilted upward and submerged into the dome of the earth's crust. "I always felt that it would be stupid to climb up this thing."
"Do you still worry about this?" Vivian glanced at Lily, "Don't worry and climb up, we will cheer you up below. Anyway, with your physical fitness, it won't be a big problem if you fall halfway up."
"Then you can fly! Why aren't you the first one up there?" Lily put her hands on her hips and glared at Vivian, then flattened her lips and said, "Forget it, I agreed anyway, I can't be the first one up there.
No one is allowed to cause trouble, and no one is allowed to block the light!"
In fact, according to the goblin, this beam of light is just a indicator. Even if the light beam is lost, the hidden passage will still not disappear, but it seems that Lily did not listen carefully when she was explaining the science just now...
With a look of righteousness and nervousness, Lily stepped onto the bright beam of light that shot slanting towards the sky.
Then she stood firmly on the surface of the beam.
"It... it actually works!" The nervousness on the Husky girl's face turned into excitement and curiosity almost instantly, "And you can't even feel it when you tilt it like this! This thing is so interesting! Landlady, landlord, let me go up and take a look.
It depends”
Just saying these words, the husky girl who was extremely reluctant a second ago ran upwards along the light beam as if she was running free. In the blink of an eye, she was already a few hundred meters away. Hao Ren behind him saw
He was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Hey, wait... holy shit, I really deserve to give up..."
The group of people followed the excited husky girl onto the "secret path" to the shelter. After walking up the beam for a while, Hao Ren discovered that this path was exactly what the goblin said, it was free of obstacles.
The "miracle road" outside the normal space-time structure.
Because when he looked down, he could no longer see the jungle at all: although in physical space, everyone had only advanced one thousand meters.
Various bizarre scenes began to appear around the light pillar. Light and shadow like auroras and rivers flowed and floated in the void space on both sides, and some of the light even condensed into images of palaces and buildings, and after a short time
Disappear.
As he continued to move forward, these scenes dissipated one by one. Hao Ren felt that the whole journey actually lasted less than ten minutes, and the things around him had changed from illusory and uncertain light and shadow into common sense real matter: thick rock formations.
And huge crystal prisms appeared all around. At first they were just broken pieces floating in the air, but further on they became a solid whole: the team was passing through a spherical shell made of stone and crystal.
"Wow"
Lily, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly let out an exaggerated exclamation. Hao Ren hurriedly followed her, and he saw that the field of vision in front of him suddenly opened up.
The road has reached the end, and the team passed through the divine spherical shell covering the outside of the earth's core. Inside the spherical shell is an extremely open space. Since Amantil is a planet created by the goddess of creation, this "earth"
The "core" is not as hot and high-pressure as the core of a natural planet. On the contrary, there is a large space and a suitable temperature. In the center of the vast spherical space, there is a "little" that even looks a little cute floating quietly.
"Little Planet".
It is a crystal ball with a diameter of only a few kilometers. It is not appropriate to call it a crystal ball, because it has obviously not been carefully processed and polished. Rocks and crystals are still mixed together. It is more like stones and crystals inlaid with each other.
A rough round ball.
This is what the fairies call the "original crystal", a semi-finished product produced by the creation goddess during the process of making resonance crystals (or node crystals).
Although it was a semi-finished product, it obviously had a huge effect. Hao Ren saw countless faintly flickering patterns on the surface of the small planet. They were runes and magic circles all over the ball. These were left by the goddess herself.
The facilities below are in operation, and they project large tracts of geometric figures that are constantly moving, combining, and deforming automatically around the mini planet. It is dazzling at first glance, but it seems to contain the ultimate laws and secrets.
"Those symbols..." Little Elizabeth's eyes gradually became interested in research, "Could it be the knowledge of God..."
"It's Xiaoxiaole." The little goblin in the holographic projection replied crisply.
Hao Ren & Elizabeth: "...Huh?"
"It's Xiaoxiao Le," the little goblin said matter-of-factly, "The goddess of creation was bored when she was building the planet, so when she was carving the earth's core magic circle, she added a Xiaoxiao Le in the magic circle. Do you want to play?
It’s so fun! Are the fairies usually idle..."
"No, it's okay," Hao Ren covered his forehead with one hand and stopped the move with the other, "Let's stop talking here. If we continue talking, it will have a devastating blow to the team's morale."
Little goblin: "?"
"Anyway, let's go down first." Vivian's lips twitched, but she managed to control her expression. "I see many small spots of light gathering over there. Are those compatriots who are here to greet you?"
"Ah, it's goblins, it's goblins!" As expected, the little goblin immediately shouted happily, shouting while urging the data terminal to fly over quickly, "Fly, fly, I want other goblins to see
Look at my new mount."
"You are the mount, and your whole family is the mount!" The data terminal suddenly became furious, "This machine is high-tech, do you understand high-tech?"
As he spoke, everyone had already flown to the surface of the mini planet, and even at such a close distance, Hao Ren could clearly see that the "earth" under his feet showed a large arc, and there were crystals inlaid there.
On the surface of the rune's "earth core", a large group of goblins have gathered together.
"A foreigner! A foreigner!"
"The goblins have brought back a group of outsiders! The goblins are feeling very nervous!"
"These people are the energy reactions detected before?"
"The goblins sent back news that they are not bad people..."
"Did something happen on the surface? Many runes have been heating up since just now..."
"These outsiders look so strange. The one over there looks several meters long."
Hao Ren even felt a sense of intimacy from the chirping: It was indeed a familiar atmosphere... He was painted in this style when he was with the goblins.
Vivian looked around at the large number of little ones gathered around, and gently touched Hao Ren's arm: "Sure enough, all fairies have that characteristic."
She was referring to the bunch of black and red hair on the heads of the goblins: all the goblins gathered here have exactly the same dull hair, and that seems to be the only feature left by the power of the Lord of Madness on these wonderful creatures.
.
At this time, the surrounding goblins also noticed the state of their companions who appeared above the data terminal in the form of holographic projection. They immediately gathered around him curiously and began to ask why the other party looked like this.
"The goblin is temporarily living in this iron lump!" The little goblin (for the convenience of distinction, Hao Ren decided to call her the No. 1 goblin for the time being) proudly hugged her chest, "These people are here to deal with those monsters, and they also
We plan to blow up this corrupted planetary battleship, but the way to pick up all the goblins before blowing it up is to let the goblins temporarily stay in this iron lump!"
The data terminal sighed deeply: "This is the worst time this machine has ever been hacked."
"Are they reliable? Is there a big space inside the iron knot? Can all the goblins really be crammed in? What is it like to live in it? Do you want to play a game of elimination? The world on the surface
What is it like now?"
Little Goblin No. 1 patiently answered the questions raised by his compatriots one by one. It seems that the goblins who can be selected as scouts to perform tasks on the surface are indeed different from ordinary goblins. Although they don’t look very smart, they have more abilities than ordinary goblins.
The goblin is much more patient and observant, and can actually explain his experiences in the upper area clearly and clearly.
But just before she was about to happily play a game of Match Game, Hao Ren couldn't help but said: "We have limited time, so let's discuss how to solve this mission first."
The goblins immediately shouted: "Oh, by the way, you are going to get the Amantere Crystal, right? The Amantere Crystal is connected to the Nightmare Lair! I have already told them this. So you are going to get the Amantere Crystal."
Crystal, you must first deal with the big monster in the nightmare lair! Otherwise you will be discovered in an instant and then be overwhelmed by the monsters pouring out of the ground!"
"I want to know what suggestions you have," Hao Ren looked at the goblins gathered at his feet without much hope, looking up at him curiously with their big eyes open, "We have learned from your
Our companions learned the general information about the Nightmare Lair, that there are many monsters inside, and that a particularly powerful guy is dreaming in it. We want to know if there is any way to take away the Amantir Crystal without disturbing these monsters.
Of?"
"Not alarming? I'm afraid that's not possible," a goblin who looked a little more steady (really a little more steady) came out, "The Amantil crystal has become the energy source of the nightmare lair, and there are many deeper ones.
Connection, it is simply impossible to take it away silently.”
"You seem to know a lot about this matter?" Hao Ren glanced at the little one in surprise, "Are you..."
"This is an expert among fairies!" a little one shouted, jumping up and down, "She knows the most! Especially about the Amantil crystal and the control center, there is nothing she doesn't know!"
"I used to be the auxiliary goblin in the control center. I was responsible for monitoring the status of the Amantil crystal and inputting data into the central computer." The little goblin who looked a little more steady puffed out his chest and said softly, "My crystal is still there.
Still in the control center, and not destroyed by those monsters because my crystal is directly connected to the Amantil crystal, and those monsters don't dare to attack casually. Through resonance, I can feel the nightmare lair and the Amantil crystal.
The connection is very tight, and the birth of every monster in the lair is related to the Amantir crystal. Although I don’t know why the holy objects left by the goddess become the ‘material’ for those monsters to make companions, but a certain person in the nightmare lair
There is no doubt that something is drawing energy from the Amentir crystal."
Hearing these words, Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, while Yzaks next to him touched his chin thoughtfully: "It seems that things still have to end up in that nightmare lair... We can't help but go there.
Already."
Vivian frowned and shook her head: "But the information is too little. We lack understanding of the number and strength of the monsters in the nightmare lair. It would be unwise to rush into that place without information."
Hao Ren also nodded: "If there is another Rock Marton there, the situation will be very difficult."
Rock Marton can be said to be the most difficult enemy that Hao Ren's team has ever fought against. Although in the end the monster was completely destroyed by Hao Ren's series of arrangements, and the final duel even achieved an instant kill record, but that was
It was achieved with the joint efforts of more than a dozen censors and the conditions of the world's home court. At that time, it was Hao Ren's home court and Rock Marton was under siege. However, the situation here was exactly the opposite: this was the lair of crazy power.
If they were not careful, it would be Hao Ren and his friends who would be surrounded and beaten.
"There is no need to worry about enemies with the strength of Rock Marton appearing here, because the combat effectiveness of a Rock Marton is completely comparable to that of a planetary battleship without doomsday weapons. If the corrupted monsters really had such a trump card, they would have been there long ago.
It was taken out to fight the Guardian Legion head-on." The data terminal shook its body after a brief analysis, "That monster is still staying in the nightmare lair and taking charge of the violent troops, which just illustrates its limitations.
That is, its ability is limited to producing soldiers and its frontal combat capability should not be too strong."
Nangong San spread his hands: "No matter how strong you are, you are not a weakling. Summoning style is the most disgusting thing to fight."
"Are you going to look for that big monster in the nightmare lair?" At this time, a very cheerful voice suddenly sounded from the little goblin, "I think... if you are really more powerful than the guardian giant, then maybe you are.
It can be done.”
Hao Ren looked at this new little guy with a little surprise: "Huh? What do you know?"
"I am responsible for monitoring and researching the nightmare lair!" the little goblin said, crackling like popping beans. "Although we cannot directly see the big monster in the nightmare lair, we can still sense some of its activities. In order to continue to
To create new soldiers, the monster must always be in a dream state, and there are no guards in a large area around it. We guess that is because the guards in the awake state will affect the effect of nightmares, so the body of the big monster in the real world is
It's easy to destroy as long as you can touch around it."
Vivian frowned: "Won't it wake up?"
"Yes, but as long as it does not directly stimulate the Amantir crystal, the big monster will wake up very slowly! In order to ensure the efficiency of creating monsters, the dreamer sank very, very deep in the dream. It will not affect the outside world.
The main perception is transmitted through the Amantil crystal and the temple network above. In other words, the monster has no defense at all against attacks from underground."
A little goblin nearby shouted: "Because Salaman's Guardian Army has not attacked the mainland of Amanti for so many years! So those monsters never thought that they would be attacked in their lair! They never thought that Amanti
Is there anything you need to watch out for underground..."
"How much time do we have?" Nangong Sanba asked at the side.
"It took about thirty minutes from the time the Nightmare Nest sensed the attack. What we calculated was that the goblins were unable to launch an attack, so we just calculated..."
Hao Ren touched his chin: "If that monster really doesn't have the ability to fight back in the real world, and we have half an hour to act, then the feasibility is very high, but we must be able to break through the nightmare nest in a short time.
Barrier, we have to reach directly in front of the dream monster, otherwise half an hour may not be enough for us to break through the defense outside."
At this time, a timid voice suddenly sounded from among the goblins: "If...if this is the problem, there should be a solution."
Hao Ren lowered his head following the sound, trying to find the little one talking among the group of goblins, and then a short goblin with short hair came into his sight.
"I...I used to be responsible for monitoring the crystal column layer and monitoring the crustal stabilizer," the little goblin said a little nervously, "I...I have been monitoring the area near the nightmare lair since I hid here.
Geological and spatial changes, I found that the Nightmare Nest has been solidified in the earth's crust, and that it and a large area around it are...supported by three crystal pillars. The geological structure of that part is very complicated due to the large equatorial rift.
Fragile, if..."
Hao Ren felt so blessed at this moment that he directly accepted the little guy's stammering words: "If we blow up those crystal pillars..." 8)
