Chapter 751 Purgatory Planet
Hao Ren knew that no matter what Lily did, it was bound to be unexpected. It was meaningless to use common sense and habits to speculate on her words and deeds: when you thought she was a werewolf, she would bark at you, and when you thought she was a werewolf, she would bark at you. When she is unparalleled in bravery, she will show you cowardice. When you think she can only do two things, she will recite poems and show you answers. When you think she wants to be literary and artistic...she will show you the blind eye. look.
But to be honest, it’s surprising that Lily doesn’t have a data terminal. After all, that guy even died in front of you in Virtual Drom...
Hao Ren pressed Lily's head and walked forward. As he walked, he reminded the people behind him: "Be careful to avoid the source of magma and rock steam. The sunlight in this place has just passed, and there should be quite a lot of water accumulated under the ground." The amount of heat, letting that thing spray out is no different from falling into a steel-making furnace."
He mainly did this to remind Lily and Vivian that as for Mr. Yzaks and Mr. Yizhaks... there is no need to worry about creatures like this that can bathe in magma.
Vivian watched the golden stream of light at the end of the horizon gradually sinking, and patted her cheek: "I don't like sunlight...especially on this planet."
"Bat, you are definitely an unprecedented vampire!" Lily jumped around Vivian, "Normal vampires are usually half dead when exposed to the sun, but you are standing here and following the entire planet into the sun. Come on, can you play for a year when you go back?"
Vivian no longer had the energy to talk to Lily. She waved her hands weakly: "Now I just want to go back before the sun rises the next day."
Hao Ren took out the spare data device. This palm-sized, tablet-like silver-white crystal board suspended a holographic image of a large area centered on the Giant Turtle Rock platform spacecraft. This is the Giant Turtle Rock. The station number is a temporary navigation chart drawn by radar. The content of the image is very disturbing: the radar shows that the ground under everyone's feet has not really solidified at all. It is a layer of scum-like stuff formed from light rocks with high melting points. It is only a few meters thick. Below it, It is a semi-molten crust, with more than a dozen lava rivers flowing under everyone's feet. This structure has no stability at all. It relies on a fragile balance to maintain the status quo, but it is experiencing large and small collapses and eruptions at any time.
"The crack is just ahead," Hao Ren pointed to a black "mountain" hundreds of meters ahead. "The radar showed that there was a regular, shaft-like cavity underneath. It should be able to maintain stability in this situation. Not a natural product.”
"The ground is soft," Lily shook her tail to maintain her balance, "I think there should be a lava lake below..."
Following the guidance of the navigation map, this small expedition team moved forward cautiously on this scorched land of death. The surrounding scene was like hell, even more terrifying and harsh than hell. After the sunlight faded, the back side of the planet did not completely fall into darkness, because the crust that had not yet completely cooled was covered with dark red glowing cracks, and along with these rivers of magma flowing on the dark and cracked earth, the ground New cracks are constantly breaking out, and raging rock steam erupts from those cracks spectacularly and abruptly like a fountain. Some of the gas columns can even shoot straight up to an altitude of tens of kilometers.
These huge steam columns that always appeared suddenly made Lily, who had always been careless, cautious. She followed Hao Ren closely, grabbing the latter's clothes and expressing her loyalty righteously: "Landlord, I will protect you! "
If she hadn't tucked her tail when she said this, Hao Ren might have truly believed it.
"You guys pay attention to the sudden cracks in the ground," Yzaks warned in a rough voice, "I'm walking in front."
Although this planet that is falling into the sun is indeed a bit worse than the average demon world, Yzaks, as a high-level demon, still has more resistance here than others. He strode past Hao Ren and walked to the front of the team, and Elizabeth immediately jumped up to follow her father. As the father and daughter walked, they started discussing: "Dad, do you think the Hongshan area in our hometown is like this?" "No, it's much cooler over there..."
At this time, Elizabeth happened to trot forward a few steps, and the ground under her feet suddenly bulged abnormally. When Hao Ren saw this situation, he quickly reminded: "Be careful!"
But it was still a step too late. The raised ground suddenly erupted, and a powerful rock steam spurted out from the underground air cavity, instantly forming a huge air column that shot straight into the sky. The little girl Elizabeth burst into flames in the blink of an eye. Gone.
Lily couldn't help but exclaimed and raised her eyes to look at the sky, but she couldn't see anything in the dark night sky. She was a little nervous: "Is something going to happen?"
"It's okay, at most it was a shock." Yzaks was calmer than the others. He laughed while looking for the direction in which his daughter flew out, "Although the child's physique is weaker than that of ordinary demons, this little amount of heat is still Don’t be afraid…oh, it seems to have fallen.”
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a little dot with teeth and claws appearing in the air. Elizabeth flapped vigorously in the air and shouted loudly in the communicator: "Catch it! Catch it!"
Everyone quickly stood in a circle and opened their hands, and then the little girl accurately fell outside the circle.
"Hiss..." Elizabeth rubbed her butt and got up from the ground, "What a look..."
Hao Ren looked at the little devil in surprise: "You can't fly? High-level devils can fly, right?"
"I'm not an adult yet, and my wings haven't grown yet," Elizabeth said, holding her butt and jumping back up and down. "By the way, I just saw the entrance in the sky! It's behind the hillside over there!"
With the help of the navigation map and Elizabeth, the group found the suspicious crack.
It is a regular, almost circular hole, with a shaft almost vertical to the ground below. Around the circular hole, you can see neat raised structures like craters, and judging from the remaining protrusions on those structures, there should have been something else here before.
It may have been a device that had been used to seal off the entrance, such as a gate - however it must have been destroyed long ago.
"It has been burned to the point of being invisible, but there is no doubt that it is an artificial trace." Vivian poked her head and glanced down the shaft. "You can vaguely see the ground below, and it doesn't seem to have melted yet. Go down. What?"
"There is no other choice," Hao Ren gritted his teeth, "My shield is the strongest. I will go down first. You listen to my signal."
Vivian pulled Hao Ren and transformed into a little bat: "It might be dangerous, so I'd better use my little bat to explore... um."
As soon as the little bat came out, it quickly wilted before taking off. In the blink of an eye, it was about to turn into a bat, so Vivian had to put it away quickly.
"I don't have a life-sustaining collar for it," Hao Ren smiled and threw a probe with a camera into the shaft. After confirming that the bottom was the ground, he jumped down.
The ground beneath the shaft was solid and, despite the heat, showed no signs of softening. Hao Ren hit the ground with a bang. When he got up, he looked at the surrounding environment and found that it was a place similar to a subway intersection.
There are three wide and dark corridors intersecting here, and I don't know where they lead to.
He turned on the communicator: "It's safe down there - and the structure looks like an underground bunker. We should have found a shelter."
The others soon met in the underground corridor. Lily looked at the dark corridor extending out in front of her in surprise: "...This place didn't melt?"
"After all, they are not natural products. Looking at these walls, the people who made them should have high materials science and technology," Hao Ren pointed at the walls of the corridor. Although the walls had completely turned black and many parts were twisted and deformed, they were still functional. It can be seen that the material is made of precision and strong synthetic materials, "But they can't hold it for long. The planet is disintegrating and is about to reach the critical point. We'd better hurry up."
Vivian frowned and looked at this fork in the road: "Three roads, do you want to explore them separately?"
"It's best not to separate. There may be new forks in the road ahead. It's useless to try to explore separately." Hao Ren shook his head. "The radar shows that there is a larger hole deep underground, which should be the main body of the shelter. Location, as long as these roads are not blocked, they should all lead to the deeper layers, so just go in the navigation direction."
(According to the notice from Qidian, there will be no doubles this month, and the doubles will be transferred to the beginning of next month, so everyone who has a vote should vote =.=)
