Chapter 1565 The Truth

The Giant Turtle Rock Platform reduced its speed and slowly approached the broken area deep underground. The three drones were the first to break away from the queue and began to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection of this area.

This cavity is already located in the deepest part of the earth's mantle, next to it is the molten core. The extremely high temperature makes this place like purgatory. If it were inside a normal planet, nothing would be possible in this high temperature and high pressure place. Solid and empty, everything here will be swallowed by magma, and any holes and faults will collapse - however, the existence of the eldest son makes this star structure that does not conform to the laws of nature become a reality.

Around the core of the earth, there are such cavity areas as Hao Ren saw everywhere. The tentacles of the Firstborn have hollowed out and strengthened these places to accommodate its huge tissues and organs or for other purposes. In these cavities, you can All you can see is the most spectacular and terrifying scenery: above is a hot and solid dome thousands of kilometers thick, below is surging magma and extremely rare floating islands solidified by the tentacles of the eldest son. The connection between them is the thick tentacles and the deep red quartz pillars. Due to the weak gravity, the droplets produced by the magma hitting these tentacles and quartz pillars during the surge fall slowly like slow motion, beautiful And fatal.

Underneath the magma is the molten core of the earth, but usually the eldest son will not be directly immersed in the core: it will grow around the core and bury its brain core in a cave deep in the mantle. Hao Ren believes that those who have Behind the rock wall with a large number of main tentacles is this kind of cave.

"Based on the shape and orientation of the big crack when we came here, this should be the 'deep structure' exposed when the eldest son opened the earth's crust. Did you see the remains of the broken tentacles in front? That is the deepest part," Hao Ren pointed at the picture on the holographic projection, tilted his head slightly and said to Vivian, "The description mentioned by N-4 should refer to that place. It is what human observers saw in space three thousand years ago."

Vivian frowned and looked at the fractured rock layers and the crystals scattered between the rock layers: "I didn't expect that it hasn't healed after so many years and is still in such a fragmented state. I thought the temperature near the center of the earth was It will bring everything together.”

"Those black fragments are no longer stones. They are the product of the fragments shed by the eldest son's tentacles mixed with rocks. Ordinary magma cannot do anything to this material." Hao Ren shook his head. "Only the temperature of the sun can burn these things. .”

Lily blinked her eyes and stared at the crystal fragments scattered among the broken rocks: "What a beautiful stone - landlord, can we pick up two pieces and take them back later?"

Vivian stared at her: "When you are so serious, can't you curb your hobbies first?"

Hao Ren didn't care about the Husky girl's unserious speech, but said thoughtfully: "If I guessed correctly, those crystal-like things should be from the meteorite rain three thousand years ago mentioned by N-4. It’s a product. Nolan, let the drone swarm collect some samples and put them in the laboratory first. By the way, if you confirm that there is no harm, cut them into a small piece and give it to Lily to play with."

The husky girl immediately burst into laughter when she heard this - she didn't realize that Hao Ren had an expression on his face when he said this: "My dog ​​is tired of playing with old toys and I have to buy her a new ball"...

The drone collected the required crystal samples and at the same time found a crack in the fractured rock layer that led to deeper depths.

There are powerful energy fluctuations coming from the depths of that crack.

"The spaceship can't get in. The crack is too small." Hao Ren glanced at the data sent back by the drone and shook his head slightly. "And this place is too close to the eldest son's brain nucleus. The nerve lines are intricately intertwined and complicated. If you let the drone dig it, I'm afraid something will happen and we have to go there by ourselves. Who will follow me?"

"I'll go, I'll go!" Lily had just gotten the new toy promised by Hao Ren (although she hasn't received it yet). At this time, her loyalty was soaring. She probably had to go over and "help" Hao Ren no matter what he did. "I'm still strong. I’m good at digging holes, so if it’s blocked inside, I can help dig a hole out!”

"You, a Siberian sled puller, are going to go to a place like this where dogs can be killed by the heat?" Nangong Wuyue glanced at Lily suspiciously, "I feel like I'm starting to evaporate just by looking at you!"

Lily flicked her tail: "It's okay. Anyway, I have a life-sustaining collar and a shield. It's 26 degrees wherever I go."

Viviante looked at this husky with disdain, and nodded slightly to Hao Ren: "I'll go with you too."

"I'll go with you too," Yzaks stepped forward and said with a smile, with a nostalgic look on his face, "This place reminds me of the bathing pool in my hometown. I really miss it."

Hao Ren: "..."

The Giant Turtle Rock Platform slowly lowered its altitude and hovered over a relatively flat area on the edge of the broken rock formation. Hao Ren and his party left the spacecraft and personally stepped into this underground world as hot as purgatory.

Despite the protection of the life-sustaining collar and shield system, Hao Ren still felt as if a heat wave hit his face the moment he stepped onto the rock formation - of course this was not a real feeling, but involuntarily after seeing the surging magma in front of him. The illusion produced. He couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead: "This ghost place is really terrible. Why does the eldest son like the center of the earth so much?"

Lily thought for a while: "Lie down in the center of the earth and sleep, and occasionally wake up to take a sip of lava. From the eldest son's world view, this is probably the most beautiful life."

Hao Ren shrugged noncommittally, and behind him, Yzaks moved his muscles on the spot, then raised his breath and twisted his waist, and released the transformation spell he had cast on himself with a "ha" sound, accompanied by a burst of flames. There was an explosion sound, and the five-meter-tall Demon King stepped out of the billowing smoke and flames.

He was at home here. Standing in such a place with a temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius, he didn't even need a life-support collar. Instead, he took a breath of comfort after transforming: "Hey - tsk, it really feels like home... …”

Hao Ren blocked the sparks sprayed out by Yzaks with his hand while muttering to Vivian next to him: "Old Wang looks quite happy."

"After all, our family can't provide him with 24-hour magma - would you rather rent a house and have to take cold showers for four years?"

"...I feel so guilty when you say that."

Yzaks didn't hear what Hao Ren and Vivian were murmuring. He just took a few breaths of the "air with the smell of hometown" (actually it was rock steam), and then bent down and took it out of the magma. He picked up a piece of semi-molten rock core and gnawed it like a sweet potato while walking forward: "I saw the crack. Let's go in and take a look."

The old devil's true lifestyle is indeed bold.

The crack in the rock formation is less than 200 meters in front of where the four people landed. There is a rock wall extending steeply upward. There are large and small cracks and crystal fragments scattered everywhere on the rock wall. In the larger cracks, You can see red light overflowing, which obviously leads to the deepest place.

For the Giant Turtle Yantai, which is hundreds of meters long, even the largest of these cracks are not big enough for the spacecraft to pass through, but for Hao Ren and his party - even for Yzaks, who is five meters tall, These cracks are also wide enough to lie across.

Thick nerve lines snake out from between the rock cracks, some are immersed in the magma, and more extend upward and eventually disappear above the high rock dome. Hao Ren chose the widest passage and led his team into it while carefully avoiding those nervous tissues.

"This place was indeed opened, and later the eldest son used external force to close it again," Vivian pointed to the jagged structures above the passage, "but he should have lost control of his limbs at that time, so this The 'rock cavity' used to house the brain core was not completely closed, leaving this passage."

"Be careful where you step, there are some cracks where you can fall directly into the lava river," Hao Ren reminded, "Lily! I'm talking about you - don't knock rocks, I'll dig a pile for you later and let you knock on them as you like. .”

Not long after advancing, the scene in front of the group suddenly became clear.

A dark red underground grotto appeared in front of Hao Ren.

The grotto is extremely vast, but its shape is irregular. Just like the eldest son's nest found on other planets, the center of this grotto is slightly sunken and filled with a dark red viscous liquid that looks like blood. A large number of dark tentacles come from all directions of the grotto. Come together, they all converge on a certain organ soaked in the dark red liquid.

The indescribable huge organ was dormant quietly in the center of the blood lake. There was still a slight stream of light on its surface. However, Hao Ren could tell at a glance that this flesh-and-blood organ used to accommodate the brain core had suffered heavy damage, and No signs of recovery.

Its upper half was almost completely torn, and a horrific wound penetrated almost two-thirds of the entire organ. In the torn wound, the dark red blood slowly and feebly squirmed, and A brain core that has been severely shrunk and its surface has begun to turn black is soaked in the source blood that is about to lose its vitality. The culprit that caused this fatal injury is inserted next to the brain core - it is a long and narrow blue-white crystal.

They are exactly the same as the crystals scattered on the broken rock formations outside.

"Sure enough, it was caused by these things." Hao Ren muttered and cautiously approached the blood lake ahead. Vivian quickly followed and reminded: "Be careful, I think this brain core is not completely dead yet."

"The nerve activity is on the verge of disappearing. Even if it suddenly comes back to life, it will only shiver a few times." Hao Ren waved his hand, "I just feel... Why do these crystals look familiar?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the memory of not long ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

"These seem to be the crystals I saw in the last vision!" Hao Ren exclaimed, turning to look at Vivian, "There are such crystal clusters at the bottom of your Red Moon Sea!"
