Chapter 1249 Ancient City

'Ka...boom...gudong...'

Strange sounds echoed throughout the underground cave, which seemed to mean that something... was starting up.

Because, just now, a creature that looked like a 'thornfish' stuffed their research information on void cockroaches into the guide system, and then the cave seemed to be activating some kind of device.

The scholars, like all the creatures here, were looking around with doubts, while the few creatures that looked like stingrays were standing in front of the guidance system with anticipation.

‘Boom! ’

After a while, the entire cave trembled violently, and the scholar discovered that the ground in the center of the cave slowly opened, and something like a platform rose from inside.

"We succeeded! We succeeded! It will lead us to the ancient civilized city!" The puffers cheered immediately, and they quickly ran to the raised platform in the middle.

Have they really studied the neural connections of the Inca swarm?

The scholar looked at this scene, and it quickly activated its own 'stealth system', and immediately the scholar's figure disappeared.

The invisible scholar quickly ran to the platform and stood with the spiny fish. No creature around him noticed his appearance, including the few spiny fish.

After more than ten seconds, the platform started to move, and it slowly descended, taking the extremely excited squid and the doubtful scholar deep underground.

In fact, the scholar wanted to see the information on the void cockroach that these spiny fishes had researched, but it was unlikely that it would destroy the guide device in front of so many creatures and take out the data, so it decided to follow the spiny fish first and then read it. See if you have a chance to see it next.

What it's riding on now...is obviously an elevator.

The platform keeps descending, and because the stingray's body emits light, the scholar can clearly see that the surrounding cave walls are made of metal.

A kind of... metal with a color similar to earth, and there are many complicated symbols on it. It really looks like something left by an ancient civilization.

'Rumble...' The platform slowly stopped. Both the scholar and the pufferfish found that a hole appeared in front of their eyes. The short pufferfish jumped happily and ran out of the hole. When the scholar followed When they came out from behind, what appeared in front of it was... a city.

Is there really an...ancient civilization?

In front of scholars,

There are countless buildings, most of which are made of metal and are less than thirty meters in height. They are almost all golden or brown in color. Even the ground is covered with shining golden metal structures.

The light source of the city comes from some crystalline creatures, which are somewhat like creatures called...bats, flying over the city while flapping their shiny crystal wings.

The scholar originally thought that after the creatures here produced research materials, Shijing would directly take away the materials, and then give some random rewards or ignore them. Unexpectedly, an ancient city was actually placed here.

"This is the legendary city! It can make us stronger than we were in our heyday!"

Several stingrays ran toward the glittering golden city with excitement, and when they stepped on the golden road, those flying... crystal bats in the sky suddenly swooped down from the sky.

"Help ah ah ah -"

Suddenly, a stingray screamed. It was only over one meter tall and was grabbed into the air by a bat with a wingspan of over ten meters. The crystal bat quickly grabbed it and flew to the top of the cave.

The scholar also looked at the roof of the cave, and found that there were many crystals hanging upside down on the roof of the cave above the city, but they were not ordinary crystals, but various... biological sculptures.

The caught stingray also ended up like this. The bat first pressed it against the roof of the cave, and then it was stuck to the roof of the cave. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't fall off. Then the bat spit out a lot of mucus and stung it. On the body of the puffer fish, the pufferfish quickly became motionless, and the mucus on its body slowly solidified into crystals. At this time, the puffer fish also turned into one of the crystals hanging upside down on the ceiling of the cave.

"So that's it. Those upside-down sculptures are creatures frozen on top by bats..."

As the scholar looked at this scene, the remaining puffers were obviously frightened. They were still excited and now fled in terror to a building next to the street.

They don't seem to be carrying any weapons. Didn't they expect there would be danger here?

Although the scholar found it strange, he didn't care so much. It followed the stingrays into the building where they were hiding. This was a building more than twenty meters high and made of golden metal.

The appearance is somewhat like a 'ta snail'.

Although it looks gorgeous on the outside, it is empty inside. When the scholar came in, he did not find any furniture or anything like that. He only saw the group of puffers huddled in the corner of the building... Their courage seemed to be very consistent with their size. , are all very small.

The scholar waited here for a while, and found that these stingrays were too...cowardly. The boldest thing they did was to look outside for a moment, and when they saw bats flying outside, they immediately retracted, and they We also discussed and decided to wait until the bats outside were gone before going out to explore.

Because he didn't want to wait for them, the scholar decided to... go explore outside by himself.

After making the decision, the scholar walked out on his own, but he did not turn off the invisibility because he didn't know if the bat was interested in it. Generally speaking, it should not be.

There should be no metallic creatures here. Scholars have discovered two kinds of creatures so far, one is amorphous and the other is crystalline. In fact, most of the civilized species he has seen before are amorphous. They should all be Cell-like, the air and gravity here are also suitable for them, but their bodies are soft, and perhaps most crystalline creatures tend to prey on them.

While thinking about various problems, the scholar wandered around the city. All the buildings here have no such thing as a 'door', so they can enter and exit at will.

And all the buildings that the scholars entered and exited were empty... Whether they were multi-story buildings or single-story buildings, there was no furniture or anything else inside. The scholars began to suspect that this city was just a 'scene' set up by the Beginning Realm. , and has no real content.

Until...the scholar came to a building.

This building is more than thirty meters high. The golden shell and the shape of a 'pumpkin' make it look like a golden pumpkin, and scholars can also feel...

"This reaction..."

The reaction about the life-distorting device was triggered when the scholar came to this building. At the same time, it also felt a feeling from this building that could...distort its emotions.

However, this emotion is rather strange. It is not like the previous emotions such as hypnosis. When feeling this emotion, the scholar will feel that he is in a void and slowly drifting far away...

"There is actually one here..." Although the scholar was a little surprised, it quickly began to record the location of this thing, and then sent it to the blasters...

"This is……"

Scholars are also detecting the true size of the twisting device. If it is like the previous one, this golden pumpkin is only on the surface and there will be a large structure underground.

Through detection, scholars discovered that the underground structure of this twisting device is indeed very large, but there is another important point... it connects all buildings.

Under this golden pumpkin, there are a large number of pipes and other structures, which spread out like radiation to the surroundings, connecting every building in the entire city.

"Could it be that...this entire city is part of a twisting device?"

The scholar suddenly had such an idea.

However, the detector did not react when touching other buildings. Only when the golden pumpkin was touched did the detector react, and the scholar felt that wonderful feeling.

Anyway, let’s record this first.

‘Boom! ’

Just as the scholar was doing this, he suddenly heard an explosion behind him. He turned around and saw that billowing smoke was rising from the buildings in the distance.

That's...the direction of the city entrance.

After recording, the scholar quickly ran towards the entrance of the city. When it arrived there, it found that the golden streets near the entrance were filled with various creatures.

Those were the civilized species it had seen before, including the Dust Crocodile.

Moreover, they all hold weapons.

"What are you doing! Why are you here!"

The few stingrays were still hiding in the building, but they seemed to be roaring angrily inside.

"This place belongs to us!" "The agreement is over!" "We cannot tolerate you monopolizing powerful technology!"

This group of creatures... all came down from above, and their reason for coming is very simple, which is to seize this empty city.

'boom--! ’ I don’t know which creature shot first, and an explosion exploded again. The creatures here also quickly dispersed. Each group of creatures hid behind a nearby building, using the building as a cover, and they shot at each other.

The sounds of bullets and explosions continued to echo in the streets. Scholars found that the weapons they used were relatively simple, using bullets and explosives with low power. Therefore, they fought for a long time without successfully killing an enemy. , this battle also evolved into a long war of attrition.

Watching them fight, the scholar feels that they seem to be very... primitive. For this reason, the scholar feels that they can study void cockroaches even more... wonderfully.

However, they seem to have a higher level of development in research. The scholar remembered that the dust crocodile research tools he had seen before were quite powerful.

'boom--! ’

This war of attrition was interrupted by a sudden roar, but it was not caused by an explosive thrown by a creature, but...an earthquake. (To be continued.)
