Chapter 1315 Underground Passage

"Ah wow wow wow!"

Along with a sound that sounded like a scream, a... strange thing rushed towards the scholar.

Because of the scene in front of him, the scholar couldn't help but take a few steps back before calming down.

If the previous 'sand bones' were like mummies, then this thing is like... a rotten corpse.

It also has six limbs, and its body is more than two meters long, much larger than the sand bone. It looks very much like... a rotten Void citizen.

There was a soft substance like minced meat hanging all over its body, and it was covered with dark red liquid. It ran quickly on the ground with six limbs that looked like arms and legs. It looked quite...disgusting.

Even the scholar's body, who was far away on the star bus, had a nauseating reaction in his stomach with gastric juices tumbling.

Fortunately, this thing didn't smell of rotting corpses. The scholar who calmed down raised his hand and aimed at the target...

'boom! ’

After the sound, the body of the thing exploded, and it fell to the ground, and the scholar also breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a look at the... rotten corpses on the ground, the scholar decided to suppress his nausea and study what these things were.

After a little testing, the results came out.

This thing is made of the same material as a 'sand bone'. It has a six-limb skeleton inside. The difference is that it is more than twice the size of a sand bone, and the 'skin' that covers the whole body is not like a sand bone. Instead of using sand, use a soft substance like rotten meat.

Of course, this is not really rotten meat, it just looks like it, but what role this rotten meat-like substance plays is still... unclear.

If used to scare the common people, the effect is quite good.

In short, scholars decided to call this kind of thing "carrion bone" first. "Carrion bone" should be a series of products like sand bone, because its large size may be responsible for other things, and it has also mutated like sand bone.

The cause of the mutation is unclear, but scholars believe it was most likely caused by Dust Crocodile's enemies. They may have controlled the Sand Bone series of machines, allowing them to threaten the awakened Dust Crocodile.

At present, scholars can only think of this possibility...

then,

The scholar looked to the other side and saw that the situation of the mechanical Dust Crocodile was much 'worse' than it was. The Dust Crocodile was facing two...'carrion bones' alone.

However, the Dust Crocodile obviously had no fear of this kind of thing, and these two were unable to hurt the Dust Crocodile. Soon, one of the two had his spine broken by the Dust Crocodile, and the other was torn apart. Two limbs were broken and he fell to the ground unable to get up.

Although the Dust Crocodile is a machine, it does not have any weapons attached to it, and all fights with bare hands.

The Dust Crocodile was accustomed to carrion and bones. It didn't take a second look at the two people it knocked down. It called the scholar and asked the scholar to follow it deeper.

This place should be an underground passage leading to the 'Freezing and Blooming' device, but to scholars, it looks more like...an underground train station.

The ground was littered with advertising paper, weapons, some empty bottles, things that looked like food cans, and a lot of accessories, clothing, and the like.

Scholars believe there may have been many... people running and hiding here, and these are the things they dropped.

In addition, many things like tables were scattered everywhere... It can be seen that the layout here is very similar to that of Xumin's underground train station.

There are train stations everywhere underground in the Xumin world. Although the scholar has never really seen them, when he was on the Wanderer, he often looked at the information about his own world, so he understood them very well.

However, scholars did not see any means of transportation such as trains here. Maybe this is a resting place, not a parking spot.

Here, like other places, no residents can be seen, whether dead or alive.

There are only... carrion bones, which are everywhere here. They are the same as sand bones. When they approach a certain distance of about three meters, they will scream strangely and then pounce to attack.

Both the scholar and the mechanical dust crocodile deliberately avoided their reaction range and quickly moved towards the depths of the passage.

Moving deeper along the dark passage, there are fewer and fewer things scattered around. Instead, the scholar sees more and more rotten flesh and bones.

It feels like this is their nest...

They were relatively scattered before, but now they are becoming more and more dense, and it seems that it is not easy to get around them...

"Ahhh!" Suddenly there was a cry, and a carrion bone next to the scholar rushed over. The scholar immediately raised his hand, and with a 'bang' sound, the high-speed warhead smashed the carrion bone into pieces as soft as flesh. The outer skin and the inner skeleton were pierced together, and then the rotten flesh and bones fell to the ground.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The moment the carrion bone fell to the ground, the scholar heard another cry. The scholar immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of the strange cry. The moment he turned his head, he discovered that there were several carrion bones around him. Bone pounced on it.

"Are you all awake?" The scholar was startled. It immediately retreated, only to find that the Dust Crocodile was thrown to the ground by a group of carrion bones. The attack method of these carrion bones was to tear every part of the target hard. The Dust Crocodile His body was pulled by them so much that it creaked, as if it was about to fall apart at any moment.

‘Bang bang bang! ’

The scholar quickly aimed at each carrion bone and fired, and the bullet penetrated the spine of each carrion bone. When they fell, those carrion bones that had not been hit by the scholar let go of the dust crocodiles and fled away.

These things... know how to be afraid? The scholar was quite surprised when he saw this scene. He originally thought that the carrion bones and the sand bones were the same. It was just an automatic reaction program that drove them to move, so they would only perform simple actions such as attacking approaching objects.

But now, scholars think their process seems more complex than initially thought, and at least carrion bones may be more complex than sand bones.

The escaped mechanical dust crocodile stood up, and together with the scholar, it saw a group of carrion bones gathering in the distance. They seemed to be preparing to attack, and each of them was aiming here and ready to charge.

They still only reacted to approaching objects before, but now they have all become united and cooperated. Because there are so many of them, both Dust Crocodiles and Scholars feel a little... troublesome.

"Explosion." The scholar pointed to the group of carrion bones in front, and it said a simple word to the Dust Crocodile. The Dust Crocodile quickly understood and said to the scholar: "No."

At the same time, it pointed upward.

The scholar looked up and found that the top of the passage was covered with a large number of cracks. Dust Crocodile's meaning was also obvious, that is, the explosion may cause the place to collapse.

But in this case... Do we need to deal with the rotten flesh and bones one by one?

"Wait." The Dust Crocodile's next words made the scholar remain motionless for nearly a hundred seconds. During this period, the scholar discovered that the carrion bones did not attack.

They slowly spread out, and then fell to the ground one by one, returning to their previous motionless state.

"Action." Then, the mechanical dust crocodile took the scholar into action.

Their collective actions seem to be cyclical, and they will stop moving after a while.

However, they are still very dense. The scholar and the dust crocodile carefully shuttled between the large amounts of carrion bones, moving deeper and deeper into the passage.

Finally, the scholar saw...the enemy army.

It and Dust Crocodile first heard the sound of the explosion, so they quickly hid in a nearby... shop.

There were shops everywhere on both sides of the underground passage, some were restaurants and some sold other things. After they hid, they saw a lot of bright lights outside.

A large group of three-legged pillars appeared in the passage.

Each of these three-legged pillars shines bright light spots everywhere like flashlights. The way they pass by is very... high-profile, without any avoidance.

Therefore, the three-legged pillar allowed many rotten flesh bones to attack them along the way, but these rotten flesh bones would be exploded to pieces in an instant.

This also means that the three-legged pillar does not care about the possibility of collapse of this passage.

The scholar counted their number, and there were twenty three-legged pillars in total. They walked slowly outside the door of the store where the scholar and Dust Crocodile were hiding, and no one seemed to want to come in for inspection.

Why are they here? And seeing how they fight with rotten flesh bones, that means...the abnormalities in things like rotten flesh bones are not caused by them?

After the three-legged pillar was gone, the scholar and Dust Crocodile left the shop and continued walking deeper into the passage.

It was much easier to walk this time, because they were walking on the path that the three-legged pillars had walked. All the carrion bones on the road had been cleared away, and only some wreckage could be seen.

Stepping on the remains of these carrion bones, the scholar and the dust crocodile finally arrived where they wanted to go.

In front of them was a... crossroads. Both sides of the crossroads were open, but the way forward was blocked by a large number of stones.

Dust Crocodile said that this direction blocked by stones leads to the location of the 'Freezing and Blooming' device.

This is the only way to get there. If this way is blocked, there is no way to get through.

Moreover, these stones are said to be gravel, but they are very large. Large construction machinery is required to move them away. It is impossible for the Dust Crocodile to get in with its own strength.

However, the reason why the scholar came here is because there is a way to get in, because there are "mini scholars" a few centimeters in size inside the scholar's body.

At this size, it is possible to drill through the cracks in the rocks.

But scholars don't know if they can drill to the bottom, and it's quite dangerous here. There may be three-legged pillars. If it just leaves its mechanical body here and controls the mini drill to drill in, this mechanical body may be... damaged. Lose.

"How about past?" Mechanical Dust Crocodile said to the scholar: "It's impossible and difficult here."

"Should..." The scholar was about to say something to the mechanical dust crocodile, but it stopped.

Because it saw a... dust crocodile appear behind the mechanical dust crocodile. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
