Under the guidance of the searchlights of the two-winged Iron Crow, Wang Chong placed the three of them on the hanging platform.

The ground is very slippery and more rugged, with densely distributed gullies and stalagmites on the edges. On the one hand, it is caused by the water erosion of water droplets dripping from stalactite forests for millions of years, and on the other hand, it is caused by the rock formation structure and texture.

According to the analysis of the detection equipment on the surface of the protective clothing with harsh environmental protection, these water droplets from stalactites do not contain acidic substances, but very high-quality mineral water. This also indirectly proves Tang Fang's conjecture that the acidic marine environment of "Akron" is not formed naturally, but originates from a powerful creature. From the analysis of the shape of the flesh sac, it may be a bit different from the "evil eye", but it must be an epic creature.

Whether it is the centipede monster, evil eyes, or giant snake, they have contributed to the unlocking of Zerg technology. Tang Fang really hopes to meet them, which means he will get something, maybe new buildings, gas resources, or hero unlocking values. At the same time, he is afraid of meeting them, because his previous experience told him/no/wrong/there is no free lunch in the world, and these big guys are not easy to deal with.

Of course, he would not retreat, and said, "Akubado", and spent so much time to sneak into the underground of "Akron". What is it? Isn't it the hope of unlocking Zerg technology?

Zhou Ai looked at the environment under his feet and around him and said, "Tang Fang, is there really a creature that is enough to change the 'Akron' marine environment? What if it sincerely hides from us? This place is so big, and will the two of us distract you here?"

Tang Fang did not tell them about the meat sac creatures, so as not to worry about the two of them. Zhou Ai did not know that the insect swarm that opened the road ahead had already had contact with unknown creatures as early as the tunnel.

Tang Fang said with a dark face: "Now that I know that I am worried that it will be a drag, what have I done long ago? And you..." He pointed to Roy and said: "You are a man who will feel sorry for others. If Yingluo asks you to come and see the world, you will be really happy. No wonder Bai Hao scolds you for 'raking ears'."

Although he said this, he still told the two of them to hide on the platform. After waiting for him to go down, don’t panic no matter what he sees. If you find that it is unsafe, you can summon the king insects wandering in the stalactite forest above the platform to hide in its abdominal sac. Or return to the tunnel.

Roy didn't know what "rake ears" meant, and it was not a good word, so he decided to go back and ask Yingluo for some time. She and Bai Hao were both Han people, so he might know what they mean.

Zhou Ai felt a little aggrieved and explained: "I'm not afraid that you will encounter the previous situation again, if..."

Tang Fang knew what the "situation" she said meant. Although she was moved, she still couldn't help but secretly complain. Are those black armored warriors so lingering? Unless they have a thousand-mile-eyed eyes and can find their place at any time.

He suddenly noticed that Zhou Ai didn't say all of her words. He knew that her personality was different from Claya and she never said anything. So he turned his head and looked at it. Zhou Ai was like petrified, with his hands froze in the air, and turned his head to look at the left side of the platform.

It was pitch black when I saw it. The searchlight of the Iron Crow could not cover the complex underground space, and the irregular hole was too large. The place where Zhou Ai looked was far beyond the platform's range, and there was no alarm message from the detector's induction matrix. It was silent, quieter than the abyss of the platform.

Sultry and humidity are the only tones of this underground space. Ordinary people will definitely be upset in this environment and will feel infinite fear of darkness. But she is Zhou Ai, and such behavior can only show one problem. There are some unusual things there, or she feels threatened.

The Iron Crow turned the head of the ship, and the power of the searchlight increased to the limit. The low-light imaging equipment also started to operate, trying to capture what was hidden in the open area that stretched thousands of meters on the left side of the platform.

Detectors and Iron Crow are both cutting-edge flight units that can perform wide-area reconnaissance in space environments. They are naturally difficult to defeat them in a mere ten-kilometer range. Even if the underground space is complicated, there are some interferences that cannot be understood.

About 3 seconds later, the scene at the end of Zhou Ai's sight was mapped through the star track command center to the field of view of the harsh environmental protective clothing mask. The scene in the picture was nothing special, but a rugged cliff.

Tang Fang always felt that "seeing is true" is a word that deceives hundreds of millions of human beings. Just like at this moment, he believed that Zhou Aibi believed that he had more eyes, so he summoned three flying dragons without hesitation and ordered them to attack the cliff.

The terrain of the hole is very complex and is not suitable for units such as Viking fighters and medical transport ships. However, for small flying creatures such as flying dragons and explosion mosquitoes, it can be said to be like fish in water, like butterflies flying through flowers, easily bypassing stone forests, convex rocks and other obstacles approach the cliff walls, shooting out blade worms.

The sound of rock shattering came from a distance, and large pieces of gravel fell from a high place like a landslide and fell into the valley at the bottom of the hole. A continuous sound of falling into the water was heard, which seemed particularly terrifying in the dark.

The source of gravel is not all the strange rocks that were blown by blade worms. They come from high places where light is insufficient, and on both sides. They are as dense as rain and fall down.

It’s not that people shake off the dust, it’s that the entire stone wall shakes off the gravel.

The sound of rocks hitting, the sound of falling into the water, the sound of rock formations breaking, friction, and rumbling echoes, the crypt covered with dark tones is a doomsday scene.

The platform standing by the three Tang Fangs trembled violently, and the cracking sound came from a distance. The stalactites hanging upside down on their heads broke one after another, as if a dagger falling from the sky was pierced on the slippery platform and became a mess.

Not only was the platform in chaos, but the entire underground space was trembling.

Roy was already scared and never expected that such a situation would happen. Fortunately, he knew that he could not sit and wait for death, so he hurriedly threw away his right arm. The surged tissue cells forced the arm armor of the harsh environmental protective clothing, turning into a large black shield to protect the three people's heads. The conical stalactite fell on it and made a muffled sound of iron and stone intersecting.

The iron crow was also trembling with the body of the falling stone cone in the sky, occasionally sparking, and some external equipment was even damaged. Due to its small size and strong flexibility, the detector was not damaged.

The broken stalactite forest is not the only danger that endangers the lives and safety of the three people in the Tang Dynasty. The platform that is standing on the ground is slowly overturning, and the sound of the rock formation collapse is so harsh. The suspended platform with a diameter of nearly kilometer has broken from its roots under the shock that affects the entire crypt.

Roy was anxious and was about to call for help, but a flexible tentacle was swept from behind, rolling up the bodies of three people and pulling them into the air.

"Brother Tang. What happened to you?"

He couldn't understand what was going on. How could the good crypt say it was an earthquake? There was no sign of an omen.

Tang Fang did not reply. His and Zhou Ai's eyes were all focused on the stone wall. In fact, with the current turbulent underground environment, the faint lighting, complex terrain, and the distant distance, it is difficult for human eyes to observe the situation opposite. Even with the assistance of harsh environmental protective clothing.

Zhou Ai doesn't have to rely on his eyes, he just needs to sense the mental fluctuations in the darkness, and Tang Fang doesn't have to rely on his eyes. The detector will be his eyes, his nose, and his ears.

He is the one among the three who knows the most what happened to the stone wall thousands of meters away from the suspended platform.

The stone wall collapsed... to be precise, something came out of the inside of the stone wall.

It was a tree. This description might be a bit general.

A moving tree!

To be more detailed, a tree between animals, plants and minerals!

According to the data report of Emma's synchronization to the digital display system for protective clothing harsh environments, this "tree demon" body is 12 kilometers long, and this value does not include its underground or even the entire rock formation, such as the root system, if it is simply analyzed from the appearance, it is like a tall tree with all leaves and only the main trunk. So when Tang Fang saw it, he thought it was a tree.

However, when the Iron Crow's high-resolution camera took optical photos and transmitted them to the mask to the field of view. Tang Fang found that the "Tree Demon" was wrapped in stone armor similar to rock formations, so he thought it might be similar to a sea turtle and had a hard shell made of ore.

About 3 seconds later, the Iron Crow sent back a dynamic image, which completely overturned his previous thoughts. Because the branches, main trunks, head crowns and other parts of the "tree demon" raised and fissioned, the shells that looked like ore peeled off, and blood-red eyeballs of varying sizes appeared and could be rotated up and down, left and right, just like the copied version of the "evil eye".

This is why Tang Fang didn't know how to define the "tree demon" category. It looks like a plant, but has a skin composed of minerals, and has eye organs that only animals have.

The body length of 12 kilometers is several times that of the giant snake at Megar's relay station and dozens of times that of the evil eye of Namixing. Even so, the height of more than ten kilometers of the crypt is nothing compared to the height of more than ten kilometers. It can shake the entire structure of the hollow and cause earthquakes that affect hundreds of square kilometers. This can only show one thing. Its root system is covered with rock layers at all levels of the large hollow. This can prove from the experience of three people entering the crypt from the bottom of the sea and going down the road that the flesh-sac is probably not an individual, but a tree root of the "tree demon", or perhaps a relatively slender one.

Of course he is in a bad mood now. The giant snake at the 100-meter-level relay station of Megar's relay station is already very difficult to deal with. At that time, he almost lost his life. It was not until he fed it 100 widows that he sent it to the West. Unexpectedly, the "tree demon" underground in "Akron" was even more terrifying. The body length of 12 kilometers was so long that it would take hundreds of them?

The key is whether it will let itself feed it honestly? It must be difficult. Judging from the scene just now, the "tree demon" has a bad temper and can be said to be willful.

With its size, making a fuss in such a complex underground space is nothing. It's like a child lying in a crib and it's okay no matter how hard it is. But for Tang Fang and the other three, it's like the end of the world. It's better to be hit by those rocks falling like raindrops and be killed, but I'm afraid that the whole person can be crushed into a meat pie.

The king insect is nearly 40 meters tall and its body is covered with flexible organic tissue. That's it, its form is still in danger, as if a lonely sail is trembling on the ocean, and it is in danger of sinking at any time.

The platform where the three people stood before finally collapsed. The huge rock layer with a diameter of nearly 1,000 meters fell from a height of thousands of meters. With a bang, it fell into the underground river valley, splashing water hundreds of meters high.

The huge echo echoed in the airtight crypt, deafening. Some loose and cracked stones caused by the squeeze and friction of the rock formation fell from the air, hitting Roy's arm and making a muffled sound.

The severely damaged Iron Crow has been reclaimed by Tang Fang to the system space, leaving only the detector to monitor the scene in real time. The "Tree Demon" still moved to the location of the three people, but the speed is very slow. This is because it cannot evolve the biological organs in the gene bank based on the combat environment like the phagocytonic polymer. It can only rely on the peristalsis of the root system to walk slowly.

This undoubtedly gave the three people enough room for thinking and action. In order to avoid encountering more dangerous situations, the Tang side summoned a god transport aircraft to arrange it above the king insect to resist the huge rocks falling from time to time on their heads.

Zhou Ai, who had not spoken for a long time, withdrew his gaze to look at the "tree demon" and said slowly: "Are you sure to defeat it?"

She had tried her best to adjust her emotions to make her voice softer and more soothing. However, her slightly trembling tone still betrayed her mood at this moment.

Unlike Roy, she could only calculate from her experience that there was a big guy doing destruction. She could feel the danger hidden in the abyss, the power of that unknown living body, and the murderous intent emitted by the "Abyss Knight" like Black 3, which was not even as good as its "hair".

"have no idea."

Tang Fang was not sure, and he was a little disappointed. He thought more than Roy and Zhou Ai, and he didn't mention the way of fighting. The destructive power required to destroy the "tree demon" alone is a big problem. If calculated from the ratio of it to the giant snake, feeding it 500 widow thunder may solve the problem, but... if 500 widow thunder goes down, the entire crypt structure will probably be destroyed by the superimposed nuclear explosion power, causing a more serious landslide. At that time, the end of the three people will be buried alive.

Who can guarantee that the "tree demon" will be as reckless as a giant snake? Besides, it is not that big.

Zhou Ai said, "Why don't we go."

"Let's go?" Tang Fang smiled bitterly: "If you go back along the same path, it's no less than seeking death. If you find another way out, do you think it will give us time?"

Zhou Ai wanted to say that it was slow to move. As long as there were a certain number of combat units delaying time, it would be enough for them to use the underground river to leave here.

This sentence was not said after all, because five red laser beams were shot out from the direction where the "tree demon" was located, accurately hitting the god transport aircraft above the king insect, stirring up circles of gradient color halos to illuminate the surrounding space and also illuminating the faces of the three people.

In the Tang Dynasty's sea of ​​consciousness, the grid representing the strength of the shield quickly faded away, and dark blue ripples appeared on the surface of the plasma shield of the transport aircraft, desperately resisting the high-energy beams shot out from the huge eyeballs of the "tree demon".

Zhou Ai and Roy were confused. They never thought that the eyeballs on the "tree demon" could actually stimulate the laser beam. Is it biological or mechanical?

Only Tang Fang was not surprised. The eyeballs on the "tree demon" were very similar to the "evil eyes" encountered on Nami Star. Isn't it normal for such an epic creature that feeds on zero vegetarian food to convert energy in the body into a laser beam?

He did not dare to let the "tree demon" continue to attack the gods' transport aircraft. Wang Chong needed a shield that blocked gravel, so he summoned five flying dragons and three corrupters in succession to cooperate with the three flying dragons deployed earlier to attack the "tree demon".

The blade insects shot out by the flying dragon cannot effectively kill the carapaces attached to the body surface of the "Tree Demon". They were used by the Tang side as a means to restrain the blood-colored eyeballs, forcing the "Tree Demon" to stop attacking the gods' transport aircraft. The positioning of the corrupters tends to test the virtuality and reality of the target to find the part that is sufficient to effectively kill the "Tree Demon".

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he secretly released another king insect, intending to transfer Zhou Ai and Roy to ensure their safety. But at this moment, the rock wall not far away exploded with a bang, and a shadow of more than ten meters thick shot out, piercing through the body of the king insect.

Under the light sprinkled by the gods transport aircraft, the shadow revealed its true face, and it turned out to be a sharp spike.

At this moment, another shadow drilled out from the rock wall, and instantly penetrated the king insect that entangled the three people's bodies.

Fortunately, when the first king insect was pierced through the spikes, he was ready. The moment the second spike shot out, the three of them were rolled up by the tentacles of the king insect and sent to the gravitational tunnel of the Gods transport aircraft and entered the cabin.

Rocks fell like rain, and rock blocks with a diameter of nearly one meter hit the surface of the plasma shield of the Gods transport aircraft and were bounced away. The two king insects fell rapidly into the valley down as the spikes were drawn out.

Tang Fang looked at the two spikes enlarged on the Kaidalin crystal in the center of the Gods transport aircraft with a dark face. His expression was terrifyingly cold. This "tree demon" was indeed even more difficult than a giant snake. Not only because it is larger, but also because it is a "native native creature" and can make the most of the use of the surrounding environment. The spikes that are enough to dig out tunnels in the hard rock formations are probably its roots.

The battle situation between the Flying Dragon and the Corruptor is also not optimistic. The strong acid that the Corruptor is enough to erode the ship's armor can do nothing to the hard shell of the "Tree Demon". Even the parasitic spores have no effect. However, the Flying Dragon's Blade has a good lethality to the blood-colored eyeballs. What is frustrating is that just like the "evil eyes" encountered on Namixing, these eyeballs that protrude from the external sarcoma have extremely strong self-healing ability, and the organic tissue broken by the Blade Worm will recover as before in a short period of time.

He also ordered corrupters to attack those eyeballs, but unfortunately they are also ineffective. The acid solution will be absorbed by the pores on the surface of the eyeballs, while the parasitic spores will be offset by a special secretion. (To be continued...)
