Chapter 45 The Eye of Light and Flame
If the scene he saw before was the battlefield of doomsday, then the scene in front of him was the hell of death.
Flames and lava were roaring, rolling, boiling. Large bubbles of air gushed out of the magma pool water, rupturing like the eye of the death god, splashing out a red mist-like liquid. The air was filled with a strong breath of sulfur, and it twisted and evaporated at extremely high temperatures, causing the entire area to tremble and shake, as if the gate of hell was about to open.
The lava pool is expanding, and the low hill where he is standing has been melted into a cliff. From time to time, gravel sand and soil fall from the bottom and fall into the pool, turning into boiling rock water in an instant. But these scenes are not enough to make Watanabe a dumbfounded chicken.
Something else shocked him.
Just in the middle of the magma pool, huge diamond-shaped spots were suspended in mid-air.
The thing was one person tall, and seemed to be composed purely of light. The bright yellow light formed its outer edge, and the thick fire formed its core. It stood in the air, and there was a bright red squirming slightly at the center, as if it had its own life.
Just under this thing, the fire in the magma was attracted by it and vine-like tentacles were poked out, transporting heat continuously. The tentacles of the flames were twisting rapidly at a crazy rhythm. At first, Watanabe Shin-bian thought it was an irregular physical movement, but after staring at it for a few seconds, he realized...
That thing seems to have life.
That twisted rhythm seems to be its "heartbeat".
The thing looked like an eye, a huge eye composed of light and flame.
This scene shocked him inexplicably, and he thought he was still in a dream several times.
He was wearing a protective suit that embodies cutting-edge human technology, but the scene in front of him looked like a magical stage. The sharp and strong contrast made him subconsciously raise his hand and knock on his helmet. The dull sound reminded Watanabe's clothing that everything was real.
It's as real as a nightmare.
There is no need to release the detector again - that thing is undoubtedly the third type!
At this moment, the core of the "eye" changed.
The bright red became even more intense, so thick that it became slightly darker. It seemed that all the heat was absorbed by a little bit, and the absorbed heat source did not have time to replenish the loss. The real "black" appeared - the center point suddenly lost its luster.
The next moment, a gap was cracked in the dark "pupils", and an eyeball rolled strangely, looking straight at Watanabe's side above the low mountain.
Yes, this is an eyeball - a real eyeball that seems to be made of flesh and blood.
The moment the two sides looked at each other, the chill jumped straight from their tail spine to their heads. The temperature regulation system in the three-defense suit seemed to lose its effect at this moment. Watanabe's body was cold all over the edge of the suit, his hands and feet were numb, and he made a giggle sound from his throat, but he didn't have the courage to move even half a step!
The eyes looked at him without any emotion. A powerful consciousness was transmitted from the turbulent magma lake.
Watanabe Fubi felt that there seemed to be a thousand holy spirits in his mind chanting loudly, and a thousand devils whispering timidly. Noisy sounds bombarded his consciousness, and good and evil emotions occupied his mind. He subconsciously opened his mouth in the midst of this turbulent wave and storm and uttered a word.
But at the same time, the magma roared, and a new round of hot torrents gushed into the sky, wrapping the eye in it, and bringing it into the deepest part of the lake when it fell.
The huge roar covered his shouts, and all the other companions could hear was a vague scale.
Then they saw...
On the far side of Watanabe's hood on the low mountain in the distance, slowly put down the suitcase in his hand.
But instead of leaning over to open the box, he put his hands on his helmet and swirled slightly.
Everyone understood what this action meant, and so an urgent and noisy shout rang out in the communication channel: "Yiwei, what are you doing?!"
But the other party was silent and did not even breathe faster.
The next moment, the helmet was taken off.
The rushing heat wave suddenly surged. After only three breaths, dense bubbles popped up on Watanabe's face. The blisters burst in the continuous high temperature, and the red and yellow slumbers flowed throughout his face, and dripped on the gray-white three-defense clothes with the oil.
Three people couldn't help but take a step, yelling at him, "Put on the helmet! What are you doing! Are you going crazy?!"
But Watanabe's suit began to take off his three-defense suit again - starting with the gloves.
Like his face, the skin of his hands immediately twisted and deformed, and then one oily bubble after another burst of blisters. However, he seemed not to feel the pain, or the pain could not affect his thinking. He bent over slowly, freeing himself from his bulky shell.
Then two loud bangs were heard.
That was his eyes—they burst into cotton candy-like flocs in the high temperature, and a large stream of blood flowed from the corners of their eyes all over their faces.
The three people who were rushing towards him were hoarse and stumbled away the dead forest, not even caring about the danger that the protective suit might be scratched. However, they were one step late after all. When they ran to the foot of the mountain, less than ten meters away from Watanabe's suit, the people on the top of the mountain turned around.
A little spark fell on his uniform, and the whole dry dress suddenly rose.
So the three of them stopped.
Because they saw Watanabe Fun's face.
Amid the rising flames, the man's face was filled with a satisfying and peaceful smile. The smile looked hideous and terrifying on a bloody face, just like a smiling face from the ever-extinguished demonic flame from the abyss of hell.
But he left a sentence at last. He took a deep breath, opened his arms to the sky, and sighed with his last strength: "What a joy!"
Then Watanabe's body leaned back and fell heavily into the magma, missing.
Everyone saw this scene.
For the next five seconds, the communication channel was silent.
Among the three people at the foot of the mountain were also the deputy captain who could take over Watanabe's position as a matte. He swallowed in his helmet and said in a dry voice: "Be careful."
This was the only command he could think of at this time.
The two around him performed in a stiff movement. Then he looked up at the top of the mountain where Watanabe had just stood, hesitated for several seconds, but hesitated again and didn't have the courage to step on and see what was going on.
After a while of silence, he said, "Can the range of the detector be...?"
"Yes." A quick answer came from the other end.
"Then it's here."
The three of them opened the remaining detector and did not turn their eyes to the box left behind on the top of the mountain - as if they were deliberately avoiding something.
The spider-type robot was activated. It stretched out eight thin feet, stepped on uneven rocks and branches, and climbed up. Their eyes moved with the small robot, with fear and panic inside. But responsibility and mission forced them to stay where they were waiting for the results, waiting for the unknown risks that might be facing.
The robot disappeared after the top of the mountain. The exquisite suction cup on the thin claws can make it work in more complex terrain. As a disposable consumable for this task, it has a high-temperature resistant coating on the surface. After crossing the top of the mountain, it grabs the raised stones on the cliff, slows down, and continues carefully downwards.
However, under the impact of waves of air, the stones had already begun to loosen. After a few meters down, a whole piece of rock fell from the mountain with a spider-shaped robot.
However, on the screen in front of the three people behind the mountain, there were never any red dots representing the possible existence of supernatural creatures.
The small detector was placed in the robot's nest, and the situation of falling into magma had long been considered.
The robot continued to move forward for one meter in the magma and was completely damaged. The power module in the nest was activated immediately, and a faint spark burst out before completely losing control, throwing the detector wrapped in high-temperature-resistant materials far into the sky.
The off-white detection device passed through the smoke and Mars, and finally fell into magma again.
However, at the last moment when the communication was completely obscured by high temperatures and viscous fluids, it faithfully sent a set of unique signals.
So a glaring red light flashed on the screen in front of the three people behind the mountain.
It's there.
The deputy captain immediately shouted in a low voice: "Confirm the target, retreat!"
The others executed the orders silently and quickly. Because even though they were in this withered forest area with heat and the survival system in the three-defense suit was still faithfully playing a role, everyone felt that the surroundings were cold and full of vicious hostility.
Watanabe Fubaby's smile before his death will be engraved in their minds for a long time to come and will never be removed.
The Secret Service received news from the Inspection Office two days later - there were indeed a variety of species in Chiyan Crater Lake. Following the news, there were also detailed information about Watanabe Fubaya's death. The strange way of death was unheard of, and no matter how bold speculation was, it was impossible to guess what he had encountered before his death.
But when Li Zhen heard the news, he breathed a little relieved - no matter what means he used, only one person was killed. If it were Chiyou or Adam... others would never have the possibility of survival.
Then this means that that thing is powerless.
So a little doubt arose in his heart, and the previous worries came to his mind again - the vague memory in his mind told him that this third type should be in a semi-awakened state. This means that it should be stronger than Adam or Chiyou.
But now...what is going on?
What happened to the magma in the pond?
Adam and Chiyou can influence ordinary people. However, can this person even control the ability? (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
