Chapter 136 The City of Shapers
Vermill's blood technique accurately hit the black shadow. The thing burst out with a harsh scream and quickly twisted its body to the ground. Gehn finally saw the thing clearly. Its body was twisted, like a long snake, but it had a head at both ends and some prominent barbs on its body.
The center of the mind beast's body was penetrated by Vermeer. As soon as it landed, Vermeer added two blood arrows and hit the front and back of its heads. Its core was hidden on one of its heads. After the core was destroyed, the flying snake Minjue quickly dissipated on the spot, and thick black smoke emerged. Gehn avoided the black smoke with disgust. As the smoke spread around, the Minjue signal in Minjue's body was also released. The sounds of the surrounding trees were whirling like a strong wind, making rustling sounds.
"There are many more. It seems that we have reached the end." Vermill's gaze swept around, his blood-red eyes keenly locked the positions of all enemies. A ball of blood floated in his hands, and the blood ball stretched out countless sharp arrows in all directions.
"Killing them will attract more thought beasts... The number of thought beasts in the disaster area is huge, and we can't solve it..." Kassandra said worriedly.
"Just solve it all at once, clean up the fog... lie down!" Vermill suddenly shouted, lifting the blood ball in his hand over his head. Gehn and Kassandra quickly lowered their bodies, and a dense layer of diffuse blood arrows sped past the heads of their heads.
The blood arrows as thin as the tip of the pen were extremely fast, as accurate and rapid as if they were tracking themselves, flew into the dense bushes and hit the needles of the flying snakes. The crackling sound of the core shattering sounds turned into a circle, and dozens of flying snakes that were besieged were wiped out together.
"Blood Technique·Divine Inspiration!"
The moment he killed the group of strange snakes, a layer of blood-colored mist emanated from Vermeer's body. The blood mist quickly spread to the surrounding environment, covering the black mist released by the strange snake after it died. Finally, the blood-colored mask quickly shrank and gathered all the black mist, turning it into a small black ball in Vermeer's hand, burning it all bit by bit.
"Wow, it turns out that this is how I can learn something new." Cassandra was happy and surprised, and took out a pen to write something on her hand.
"The same kind of mindful beasts are rare in nature. There are so many of them at once. They must be made by some large mindful beasts. Go forward carefully and don't get involved in useless battles." Vermill took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean, and took the two students into the dense forest.
The remains of human cities can also be seen at the foot of Mingyue Mountain. This was once a prosperous place with tall buildings and well-connected roads. Now they are covered with plants that grow wildly. The rhizomes of trees and vines are pierced into steel and concrete. Most of the houses have collapsed, covering them with layers of vegetation, and deer and rodents are running in it. Gehn and the other three are the only foreigners who have entered here for a century. The animals are not afraid of them. They all hide in the distance and watch curiously. The human footprints have disappeared for many years. These animals no longer feel afraid of humans.
Advancing along the road that had been severely eroded by vegetation, Cassandra walked the front and used her black cats to clear the road. The kittens that looked harmless could easily break the thick shrubs. It was convenient for the front and there to be no roads. Vermill released the bleeding bat to detect the surrounding environment. It took a lot of time until the sun was at noon. The three of them finally arrived at the east peak of the mountain.
The city of Transformers mentioned by the senior sister cannot even see the shadow. There is only a barren mountain rock here. Because the terrain is steep and the wind is facing the wind, the howling mountain wind shaved the ground like a blade, and the surrounding vegetation is very thin, and large areas of exposed rocks. After thousands of years of weathering, the yellow minerals inside the rocks have been exposed. This place... is not suitable for survival, let alone settle here.
"What are these golden... gold mines?" Gehn leaned over and scraped off a little bit of debris with his fingers.
"It's sulfur. There may be an extinct volcano under this mountain range. The entire mountain is a product of volcanic activities. There may be natural hot springs nearby." The learned Kassandra gave the answer immediately.
"We are not here to take a hot spring bath. Where are you talking about the City of Transformers?" Vermill said unhappily.
"Well, it's just what the book says, maybe there are some mechanisms underground."
Kassandra stomped her feet with her tongue, and the golden rock suddenly vibrated violently, and a large number of sulfur ore fragments rolled and fell into the abyss.
"I... didn't use such great force."
"It's still chased by it." Vermill turned around and looked at a clearing area next to him, and Gehn and Kassandra also entered the state of preparation.
A big hole suddenly cracked on the surface of the ground, and a giant strange snake that was much larger than what I had seen before was drilled out from the ground. This time it was not a two-headed snake. The giant strange snake was covered with snake heads like tentacles. Every time it shook its body, a group of two-headed flying snakes would fall down. Sure enough, Vermill's judgment was correct. The thought beasts I encountered before were not generated naturally, but were created by this giant snake.
"It is estimated that there is a tiger level. You can control it and don't let it run back to the ground. I'll solve it." Vermill made a simple strategy and rushed towards the giant snake. Two balls of blood lights were generated in his hands, turning into two blood-coagulated swords.
"Binding the Earth and Shadow Prison!"
"Binding Earth and Star Lock!"
Gehn and Kassandra used the ground-bound technique at the same time, and two different black chains flew out from the ground. Gehn's chains were pure black, with a structure like white bones, while Kassandra's was like her black cat, with star-like light spots in the black.
The tiger-level mind beast is strong, but it is still unable to get rid of it when it is bound by the two of them. He has to twist his body desperately to release more small snakes. The sword blade in Vermill dances wildly, piercing all the flying snakes near him! He jumps onto the head of the giant snake. The thin sword in his hand instantly increases, turning into a sharp giant pillar, piercing the giant snake from head to tail!
"It's successful!" Guen shouted with his fist clenched.
"Don't let go of your guard." Vermill jumped off the giant snake's collapsed body and used blood techniques to clear away the snakes that were escaping around.
Sure enough, one of the small snakes suddenly expanded, and in a blink of an eye it expanded into the previous giant snake again, with a large number of scale-like bulges protruding on its body, and then the bulges turned into snake heads that drilled out of the body one by one.
Although the mind beast can be simply classified with its strength, it is absolutely not to be careless when encountering the mind beast in the disaster area, because each mind beast has its own unique habits and abilities, and even powerful mind beasts have weaknesses. Similarly, weak mind beasts also have their own dangers. Just like animals in nature... Although a bug is weak, it may also contain fatal toxins. It is as dangerous to be bitten by it as being thrown by a lion.
"This goes on forever! As long as one is left, it will be resurrected." Gehn also waved his hand and threw out a large number of crows to clear out the escaped little snakes, but it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the group of snakes falling like a rainstorm.
"Let me try, spell, ghost world." Kassandra quickly constructed the magic technique and released a spell that Gehn had never seen before. A starry black cat floated up high, expanding into a huge balloon above and then continued to spread, closing all the surrounding areas. The little snakes who were desperately escaping to the edge of the closed area were pushed back by invisible force.
Vermill also cooperated well with her, using a heavy rain of blood needles to clear out the scattered snakes, and then smashed the giant snake's head with a blow.
This time, the mind beast was finally completely cleaned up, but everyone still did not get any clues, just wasted a lot of time. The fluctuations they used to spread from light minds would soon attract more mind beasts. The mind beasts in the disaster area were endless... Just when Gehn was worried, the senior sister suddenly made a new discovery.
"Look! What did I say? There is something underground." Cassandra happily pointed to the big hole that the giant snake drilled out. There was a larger underground space inside. The outer wall was chiseled very smoothly, as if it was manually polished.
"Maybe it's a big guy's nest," Vermeer said.
"It's okay to go down and take a look. There is no direction now. Junior, does your iron card respond? " Cassandra asked.
"No, I even doubt if that crazy woman gave me a fake."
The three of them explored down the cave. They were all lightly on the trip. The space of the "moth" was narrow and they could not put too much equipment. They had no lighting equipment, so they could only move forward with the glimmer of light coming in from outside.
There is indeed a unique cave inside this cave, like a huge funnel entrance, the more you go, the larger the space you get. There are many strange symbols on the wall next to it, which is a good omen. At least it proves that there are really smart creatures here that have moved, which is much better than bumping around like headless flies.
Kassandra said that he had seen these patterns in ancient books. These are runes used by Yueren. They are a combination of the Indo-Irish font system and the ancient Assyrian language, and some Yueren's own improvements were added.
I saw Kassandra recite some strange words, then slapped her palms, and all the patterns lit up, illuminating the dim cave. Kassandra was also a little surprised. She just wanted to try it, but she didn't expect that the secret realm of Yueyi would still have energy supply after so many years.
"Be careful that those guys are not good people either." Vermire reminded vigilantly that as a bloodborne, he had no good feelings for the moon-born transformer. If it weren't for Gehn's trouble, he wouldn't like dealing with those guys in his life.
