Chapter 761 The Remains of the Siren Next to the Island Core Altar?

Lin Lan actually didn't say anything yet because he was not sure yet.

That was the fault line of the Liaozhou civilization that he had suspected before, and it was probably directly related to the abandonment of the central urban areas of these island cores by the Liaozhou people.

But before obtaining conclusive evidence, he planned to enter the island core ancient altar first.

As everyone continued to move forward in the ruins, finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally reached the deepest part of the ruins in the city.

This is a hill with the highest terrain on the entire Inaba Island.

When Lin Lan and others were hiking, they found that the hill was covered with blue wind element flowers.

In addition, there are only collapsed ruins that have been severely weathered on the mountain.

This also forced him to let the Kaohsiung-class sisters use heavy cruiser main guns to continuously open up paths among the ruins.

There is no way, there has been no trace of human arrival here for many years, and there are no roads to walk on.

In Kamirei Sakura's words, there should have been a teleportation barrier at the foot of the mountain that could directly teleport to the ancient altar of the island on the mountain.

Unfortunately, now they can only climb up the mountain on foot.

Lin Lan had never thought of letting everyone summon the butterfly of light to fly directly to the top of the mountain, but was dissuaded by Shen Lianying.

There are likely to be small remaining barriers in the air deep within this ancient ruins, and you could easily be injured if you hit them.

And the fact is the same as what Shen Lianying said.

The reconnaissance carrier-based crews of Flying Eagle and Falcon Eagle soon encountered an invisible strange force in the air and were unable to fly directly above the mountain.

It's not impossible if he insists on letting the girls of the Sakura ship fire anti-aircraft guns to clear out these small fragmented barriers.

But now that they have arrived at the foot of the Island Core Ancient Altar Mountain, Lin Lan feels that instead of wasting time cleaning up these small barriers in the sky, it is better to go directly into the mountain, find the Time Key fragments as soon as possible and then return.

The barriers within these ruins can be left to the adventurers and Tianou Group behind to clean up the mess.

He asked those guys to gather together to do this kind of hard work.

On the way to the mountain, Lin Lan also discovered something strange.

At the foot of the mountain, the ruins monsters and wind element island core guardians that appeared from time to time have all disappeared.

There was no movement on the hill except for their conversations and the explosions of Kaohsiung and the others' firing.

Even when they reached the mountainside, they never encountered another attack from monsters or island core guardians.

"Commander, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I think we need to be prepared to fight X."

Senior Mikasa also realized something was wrong at this time.

This experienced senior Chongying had a very keen sense of the dangers on the battlefield, so he solemnly reminded Lin Lan.

Lin Lan certainly knew this.

They are not on the sea now. They can form a formation and attack the Demon King's army at a distance.

Once they are surrounded and ambushed by the Demon King's army on the next mountaineering journey, it will be really difficult.

He was not worried that the Demon King's army's attack would hurt the Chongsakura Ship Girl, but he was worried that the Chongsakura Ship Girl would come into contact with the X corrosive substance.

Although he has the skill of Touch of Holy Mercy that can repel X erosion, it is only a guaranteed back-up at best.

The most important thing is to avoid situations where the Demon King's army can get close to them.

Therefore, Lin Lan did not hesitate to ask all the Chongying ship girls to unfold their ship equipment and turn on the radar to search for enemies.

At the same time, he also held several spells that he had drawn long ago in his hands, and was ready to activate the power of breath at any time.

At this time, we can no longer be as relaxed as at the island core ancient ruins at the foot of the mountain.

The Kamirei Sakura sisters also took advantage of the time before they reached the top of the mountain to tell everyone about many of the skills mastered by the Demon King's army.

In addition to mental attack skills, the Demon King Army also has many skills that can hide itself.

The power that the Demon King's Army had before being eroded by the X-corrosive substance can all be used after becoming the Demon King's Army.

It's just that these skills will also be tainted with the breath of X, and their lethality will be stronger than before.

In this way, while everyone was moving forward with extreme vigilance, they were finally about to reach the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, Lin Lan's fear of an ambush by the Demon King's army did not occur.

He thought about it carefully.

If the Demon King's army really exists in the deepest part of the ancient ruins of the island core, why wait here for thousands of years?

Without the brave Yuki, the Demon King's army would have completely withdrawn to the Nine Islands of Liaozhou in the past thousand years.

But if the abnormal situation here does not come from the threat of the Demon King's army, what kind of threat does it come from?

Lin Lan frowned and kept thinking about what tricks X unleashed on Liaozhou after Yuki sealed himself and the entire Demon King's army a thousand years ago.

"boom!"

As Atago used the ship's main gun to blast away the last ruins on the road in front of everyone, Lin Lan finally saw what the top of the mountain looked like.

The style of the collapsed ruins buildings around them was completely different from the ruins buildings down the mountain.

Not only are many buildings carved with weathered and blurred patterns, there are even a large number of collapsed buildings inlaid with yellow and green gemstones.

There is no doubt that this is the former urban center of the flower capital of Inaba Island.

If Lin Lan hadn't told Akashi and others not to leave the team without permission at this time, this little profiteer would have already taken out his tools and called on everyone to pry off these gems from the buildings along the way.

"Lord Commander, that is the Ancient Altar of Island Core."

"If the Time Key fragments are still in the ancient ruins of the island core, they will definitely be stored there by Yuki."

After seeing the flat ruins on the top of the mountain, Kamire Sakura's eyes showed a bit of sadness.

The last time she came here, it was still a bustling and prosperous city with countless people from Liaozhou of all races coming and going.

This Yinglong girl even saw many iconic collapsed building walls, and countless past memories came to her mind.

But now, the prosperous city in her memory has only dilapidated ruins left after thousands of years.

Even so, she still took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and pointed out the destination of their trip to Lin Lan.

Lin Lan and the Chongying ship girls looked in the direction pointed by Shenlianying.

It was a huge blue-gray stone building standing in the middle of the flat area on the top of the mountain, the only one that had not been weathered or collapsed.

A lost altar.

To be precise, it was a cyan square altar that was covered by dust and was seven or eight stories high.

On the stone wall of this huge altar, plant patterns that have long been blurred are clearly visible to the naked eye.

"Is this the Island Core Altar? I remember you said before that this altar can collect the power of faith and transform it into blessings for believers?"

After observing the appearance of the altar, Lin Lan asked Shen Lianying for confirmation.

Just by observing it from this distance, he really didn't feel that this ancient altar could have such a magical effect.

And Shen Lianying nodded to him very firmly and said:

"That's because the island's nuclear altar has not been activated yet."

"Once the altar is activated from the inside by someone with the blood of the island owner, all the wind elements and power of faith on the entire Inaba Island will gather in the altar."

Having said that, Shen Lianying did not forget to add in the end:

"Of course, as a brave commander... he also has the ability to open the altar."

Lin Lan nodded. If the time key fragments were stored there, things would be much simpler.

They only need to enter the altar building, find the time key fragments, and then set off for Forging Blade Island.

This altar can't escape here anyway. After they rescue Yuki, Yubari and Akashi can study its principle of absorbing and transforming the power of faith here.

However, just as Lin Lan was about to lead everyone to the altar, Yun Xian frowned slightly while observing the collapsed ruins on the surrounding mountain tops.

"Commander, look...what is that?"

Yun Xian suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Lin Lan and the surrounding Chong Ying ship girls.

They followed Yun Xian's gaze and looked towards the ruins of the collapsed ruins, and they were all stunned.

Even Amagi and Musashi, who had always been calm, showed expressions of disbelief due to shock.

Because underneath the collapsed ruins wall that Yun Xian was looking at, there was actually a large piece of dark red metal that was heavily rusted.

Except for Sister Shenlianying, they all knew what it was.

"How is it possible? Isn't this the suit of the Siren Enforcer?!"

"And it's an explorer model?!"

Lin Lan could hardly believe her eyes and shouted out what the red rusty metal creation was.

Yes, although its main gun and torpedo tubes have long been corroded to the point where the original metal color cannot be seen clearly, and they are seriously damaged and deformed.

But Lin Lan is 100% sure that it is definitely a Siren Enforcer, an explorer outfit of the destroyer class!

Why do the remains of the Siren Executor appear in such a place?
