Chapter 521: A Solo Adventure
"Please...crack...please...please..."
A small communication device is lying on a white earth.
A small sound emanated from its body, slowly reverberating in this vast space...
Its voice got smaller and smaller, and then... disappeared.
This communicator, like the wreckage of the thirty chariots around it, was slowly covered by the dust in the sky and forgotten by the world...
"No, it hasn't been forgotten yet, we... haven't been forgotten yet!"
"Our troops were destroyed and were attacked by a group of giant creatures. There were many giant creatures, at least ten of them. They destroyed our chariots, and our army was completely wiped out..."
"Only I... survived."
An Atlan was leaning under a giant umbrella mushroom, looking at the wreckage of the destroyed chariot next to him, while entering a lot of information into his helmet. "Nothing > Wrong" Novel
"I don't know why the dust concentration here is lower, so I don't have a problem even if I'm outside." Atlan continued to enter all the information: "The cause of all this is a creature calling itself 'Maya'. "
"It's a creature that communicates with us from a distant void, and it wants us to go into the depths of the fungal area to see what's going on, and that 'deep' is the initial area of fungal infection, where the fungus originally came from with a huge... landmass. It wants to teleport back to the world it is invading, and it wants us to see what it is like now, and it promises to come and save us."
"However, this kind of thing happened when we were getting close to the goal..."
"In that case. I have to complete this mission no matter what...even if I die. I can save those Atlan who are waiting for us!"
"Entering complete..."
Atlan stood up. It picked up the weapon in its hand, looked at the dim sky, and continued to walk towards the target.
There is also a map in its helmet, and it is about a hundred kilometers away from the target.
This is a difficult journey. As long as the surrounding bacteria dust concentration becomes high, it will die quickly, but... it believes that it can accomplish this task...
'despair……'
Step on the carpet made of mycelium,
Countless dust and dust followed. Atlan is moving at a slow and steady speed. It pays attention to the concentration of bacteria and dust around it at any time. The filter of their helmet has a function of clearing the blockage, but if the concentration is too high, the cleaning speed cannot keep up.
"This is..." However, the situation that surprised it happened.
The Atlans had always thought that the deeper the fungus-covered area was, the higher the concentration would be incredible, but in fact, it found...
"The concentration has actually become... lower?"
It seems to go deeper and deeper. The lower the concentration index displayed on the helmet, it becomes almost the same concentration as the edge of the fungal area.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Although doubtful. But that's a good thing for Atlan, it's more likely to get the job done.
It quickened its pace and walked forward, and suddenly there was a 'pop' under its feet, and it found itself stepping into a pool of water.
It quickly pulled its feet up and took a few steps back. Atlan saw a pool of water appeared in front of him. The pool was about ten meters in diameter, and the reddish liquid inside was slightly oscillating because of its actions just now.
Atlan took a closer look and found that the water was quite clear. Although the color was a little strange, it seemed to be drinkable.
"Can't drink it!" Atlan was surprised to find that a strange idea had just appeared in his head. Why would he want to drink water in this strange place?
After abandoning this idea, it went around the pool and continued to move forward.
Atlan walked carefully step by step, and after the process lasted for hundreds of seconds, it slowly picked up the pace, the environment here looked weird and dangerous, but there was nothing.
Looking around, I can only see a white carpet, the thick handle of those giant umbrella mushrooms, and the dust flying everywhere. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"It's too far. If there is a chariot, it will be there soon..."
After walking for thousands of seconds, Atlan found that the concentration of bacteria and dust inside was indeed getting lower and lower, but another problem troubled it, that is, its speed was too slow...
"Let's take a rest first." It walked under the giant umbrella mushroom and sat on the soft carpet next to the mushroom handle. Of course, the moment it sat down...
'Boom...' There was a heavy roar from the ground in the distance, which made Atlan stand up. It hurriedly looked in the direction of the roar, and it found that there was a... huge creature lying there.
"This one attacked us before...why is it like this?"
Atlan could see from the farsightedness in the helmet, the creature's legs made it quite familiar, but its body surprised Atlan even more.
In fact, during the previous attack, Atlan of the chariot team could only see the legs of the creatures, because the surrounding bacteria and dust were too thick to see anything clearly.
And the dust here is much less, and this creature is lying down, it can see its whole picture, this creature is actually... an Atlan.
However, it is quite huge. It has a height of more than 30 meters, and its epidermis is also covered with a lot of mycelium. There are also cystic balls on the shoulders, legs, head and other positions, as if Also made up of fungi.
Although it looks completely different, it can still be clearly seen that its overall body shape is the same as that of Atlan.
'Gu...' Suddenly, Atlan saw a swollen ball in the creature's head begin to swell rapidly, and then... 'Boom! ’
After an explosion, a large amount of liquid was splashed from it and spilled on the surrounding carpet.
"What kind of monster is this..." This phenomenon was quite 'disgusting' for Atlan, he resisted the tumbling of his stomach and wanted to avoid this place.
"Continue to observe for a while!"
And when Atlan wanted to leave. There was a sudden sound in its helmet.
"What?" Atlan suddenly exclaimed: "Who is it?"
"Could it be..." Suddenly. Atlan reacted again and said: "You are the one who let us go to the depths to observe... that creature called Maya! How did you contact me?"
"Your mission is to observe the creatures here." The voice in the helmet said: "Record their shape, structure, specific characteristics, etc."
"As long as you do it well, I will save you."
"...I see." Although Atlan thought this creature was suspicious, it had nothing else to do right now, and it came here with the emotion of dying.
So, as Maya said, it continued to observe that huge... Atlan.
"Okay, you can move on."
After watching for a while. There was no particular reaction from the huge thing, and the voice told Atlan, "You have to go to the center to observe."
"Finally don't have to look at that monster..."
After hearing that, Atlan left.
It continued onward, to the heartland where it had been before.
After walking for a while, Atlan began to ask: "What kind of creature are you? Why should you care about things here?"
"I noticed it at some point," said the voice. "Among the stars, there are some special creatures, a powerful, terrifying creature on the rise."
"I decided to focus on this creature, I saw you, and you were the first line of defense against this creature. So you will fight for me, and I will watch you like the stars in the sky. Come on, high Shout out the battle song and go forward!"
Atlan said: "...It seems that you don't want to tell me anything."
"Have you noticed the starry sky in the sky?". The voice continued, "This is your salvation, and you will be saved."
"There is no starry sky here." Atlan said: "And..."
"Stop!" The voice suddenly shouted, and Atlan quickly stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
"Pay attention to your front, you almost stepped on the road of destruction!" Under the guidance of the voice, Atlan looked in front of it, only to see a group of shaking figures dozens of meters away.
"That's... what?"
Atlan adjusted the angle of view on the armor, and after zooming in on the distant scenery, fear could not help surging in his mind.
It saw a bunch of... skeletons.
These skeletons were about the same size as Atlan, with a thin layer of mycelium growing all over the body, as well as some fungal lumps, but the body was made of bones, and it was Atlan's bones.
Individual creatures seem to have a certain fear of their own skeletons, and this Atlan is no exception, not to mention that these skeletons are dancing in a circle there as if they are dancing.
"How... how could something like this come out?" Atlan suppressed his fear.
"I don't know," said the voice in the helmet. "But they noticed you, get rid of them."
"What?" Atlan was shocked, and it also noticed that the skeleton over there had stopped 'dancing', and they were staring at it one by one, and their eye bones were flashing with light blue. Fluorescence, as if to imply that they... have sight.
Suddenly, one skeleton rushed towards Atlan first, and the other skeletons followed.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Atlan suddenly pressed the switch of the weapon, and the storm-like warhead suddenly poured on the skeleton.
Although these skeletons are terrifying to Atlan, they are still skeletons. Under the impact of the warhead, they suddenly splattered with bones, and they all turned into crumbs in a few seconds, completely vulnerable...
However, for Atlan, the panic has not dissipated... (To be continued...)
