The Death List Novel - Chapter 576
Chapter 576 Tracking
“Woo ~ ~ ~” The loud rumbling sound gradually weakened from anxiety to slowness. This kind of sound that resembled the rotation of a large fan was the unique wheel rotation sound of the “Ice-cold Storm”.
Although the Gauss projectile did not have a shell case, the ground was still covered with a layer of sparks caused by the high temperature. The temperature in the corridor had risen a few degrees, making Pilot Keith, who was sitting in the mech, feel a burst of sultry heat.
The big tadpole head mixed with the lower half of the octopus in front of everyone was already lying on its nest. The surface of its silver body was covered in holes and sparks.
Gaussian weapons are not as effective in space as particle beams, but they are different on the ground. With the accuracy and range resolved, the power of Gaussian weapons is not inferior to that of particle beams. Adding on the narrow channel, the physical impact of the projectile is completely endured by the tadpole robot.
Although it was unable to break through the defensive force field on its surface, it was able to control it from approaching the crowd. This tadpole-shaped robot had been guarding the ruins for an unknown number of years. Occasionally, it would need to clean up the wild beasts that had intruded into the ruins. Its energy had long since almost dried up. After being suppressed by the “icy cold storm” for a while, it was finally destroyed.
“It’s not easy to move back with such a large volume!” Merry curled her lips and looked at the tadpole robot with regret.
“Let’s go. This thing should only be used for ground operations. It won’t be of much help to us. On the other hand, the advanced APB force field on its surface is very important. I hope that there will be information recorded inside this ruin.” Alex smiled and comforted.
“Eh, sir, there seems to be some vibration on the ground?” Vera suddenly reminded.
“Yes, I feel it. The security devices we set up outside have been destroyed. Looks like another team has also arrived. We’d better hurry up.” Qin Lun spread out his hands and smiled. As expected, the other guilds also stared at the mountain ruins.
After eliminating the tadpole robots, they didn’t encounter any other trouble in this tunnel. The last part of the corridor became even more spacious, as if it had arrived at the trumpet of an instrument. At the end of the trumpet, there was a huge and thick silver gate, blocking everyone’s path.
“So big!” Sawa couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the giant gate that was at least several hundred meters tall. The tall military aircraft armor was like a row of puppies that hadn’t grown up in front of the gate.
“Qin Lun, Qin Lun, do you hear me?” Robin’s voice came from the guild channel.
“I heard you. Looks like you guys are also close to the center of this ruin.” Qin Lun closed his eyes and sensed it for a while. He discovered that Robin and Bahrain were leading two teams not far from each other.
“We were blocked by a big gate. What should we do now?” Bahrain asked cautiously, “It seems that the interior of this ruin is not complicated. If that’s the case, the other party will probably find us soon!”
“Yes!” Qin Lun frowned slightly. The area of this ruin was not small, but the closer it got to the center, the less room it could turn around. This could be deduced from the three teams reconnecting to the telepathic channel.
“Anyway, open the passageway first. If we can find the so-called’final gospel ‘immediately, we still have time to play hide-and-seek with our enemies!” Qin Lun raised his hand to signal Alex behind him. Several of the Keith pilots immediately switched on their X-ray detectors and a few bright rays of light shone on the silver gate.
“Sir, our equipment is unable to see through the interior of the gate.” A few minutes later, Alex helplessly replied.
“I didn’t find the gate mechanism either!”
The horn of the Seventeenth Fallen Angel’s head trembled slightly, but Qin Lun was still unable to find the opening device near the gate. The giant gate seemed to have completely fused with the stone wall. Apart from the different colors, the junction was almost seamless and the water could not be poured in.
“Sir, we can use the magnetic resonance knife to open a gap.” Alex suggested softly.
“Judging from the length, width, and height of this gate, it should be very thick, very thick. This will take a lot of time, enough time for the enemy to surround us here!” Qin Lun shook his head.
“Then split up a portion of them and the enemy team to fight guerrilla attacks on the outskirts. Stall them while the others take the opportunity to open the floodgates.” Bowie suggested on the guild channel.
‘”No, we are the weak side. It’s not advisable to disperse our strength any further. Even if we get the mission items, we will only be giving them to another team as a dowry!” Qin Lun rejected the proposal again.
“What if we leave the center of the ruins and hide in other forked tunnels, then use the enemy to open the gate and open the way for us?” Robin suddenly put forward a plan with a smile.
“That’s a good suggestion!” Qin Lun pondered for a moment before agreeing to the plan.
After disconnecting his telepathy, Qin Lun’s gaze flickered for a moment before he turned around and smiled, “Alex, let everyone release all the remaining probe balls so that we can avoid the enemy behind us.”
…
At this moment, at the entrance of the passageway of the ruins, there were more than 50 figures of various shapes. Seven or eight of them were humanoid figures, ranging from Elves to humans. Compared to normal Elves and humans, they were dozens of meters tall, almost comparable to military mecha armor. Moreover, their skin was like flowing liquid, appearing translucent, just like some kind of plankton.
As for the remaining gigantic creatures with strange shapes, most of them had shells and claws on their bodies. A few of them even had sparkling wings on their backs. Without a doubt, they were all arachnids. There were giant insects with heavy carapaces that resembled shovels and beetles, flying bugs that resembled wasps, and giant spiders with spikes on their backs.
Apart from these arachnids, there were also ten humanoid insects that had all five facial features and looked like humans. However, their bodies were clearly covered in armor-shaped insect shells. This was naturally the arrival of the arachnids in Apostle, Gan Luo’s Chaos Branch.
“My lord, why don’t we wait a few more days? In another two days, the Blood Pool will be able to hatch a force that can crush the other two guilds.” Even though she had become an arachne, Apostle, who looked even more enchanting because of her smooth and streamlined carapace, approached Gan Luo and asked.
“This independent plane is too big. If our target is to complete the main line first, I’m afraid they will hide. At that time, it will be difficult to do.” Before Gan Luo could reply, Black explained with a smile.
“Did you hear that, Lena!” Gan Luo used his sharp claws to scratch the cracks in the shell and said lazily, “Learn more from Black, don’t always rely on brute force!”
“Tsk! You only know how to talk about me. Your Excellency isn’t the same as me.” Gan Luo, who was called Lena by Apostle, rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice. At the same time, she gritted her teeth at Black, who was laughing apologetically at the side.
Gan Luo was a battle-loving martial artist who liked to use violence to solve problems. The style of the division he led was influenced by him, and he usually liked to break the situation by force.
Black suppressed his laughter and lowered his head to avoid the sight of Apostle. He was incomparably powerful when he was at First Grade, but he was still a newbie when he came to this Second Grade Apostle branch. He didn’t dare to provoke this famous violent woman.
“Sir, the armor and weaver are too big to enter the passageway. Only Napasa can accompany us.” Another Apostle came up to Gan Luo and reported.
“The armor of the carriage and the weaver guard the entrance of the passageway. Napasa is guarding the top of the ruins. We can enter by ourselves.” Gan Luo’s eyes lit up, leaving all the insects except Apostle outside the ruins.
“Your Excellency, if this arrangement is made, will there not be enough manpower?” Black asked worriedly.
“The enemy should already know that we’re here. There are too many passageways in this ruin. If they want to escape, only the armor and weavers will be unable to stop them. Only by cooperating with Napasa can they pester them. There’s nothing they can do about it.”
Gan Luo turned to look at the seven or eight strange Elves and humans not far away and said meaningfully, “Besides, isn’t there a Holy Light Guild to help? Isn’t that right, Lord Wolf?”
“Skinny Bear, don’t be too complacent. You won this time. However, we won’t forget our two companions who died.” Wolf’s handsome face was as dark as water as he said expressionlessly.
Originally, he only had one head left, but before entering the wormhole, Gan Luo had repaired his body with the blood pool of the arachnid race, so it could be said that he had not caused the two guilds to form a death grudge. Adding on the fact that the Chaos Division had captured the remaining Holy Light members, Wolf had no choice but to plead for their safety. Not only did he give up their main line, he had no choice but to assist the Chaos Division.
“Haha!” Gan Luo laughed lightly, ignoring Wolf’s threat. He raised his barbed arm and waved it, signaling Apostle to enter the corridor.
Ten Primal Chaos members and eight Holy Light members were divided into three groups. Gan Luo separated the two groups and paired them up. Although Wolf had signed a contract with him, the Holy Light Branch’s competition mission this time had been in vain. It was hard to say whether they would secretly release water to the target guild. Therefore, each group had to join one of their own members to supervise.
“Sister Hu Fei, why do the people of Primal Chaos insist on staring at this ruin? Isn’t there another ruin in the plane?” Little Lotus, who was at the back of the team, leaned over to Beauty Hu and whispered.
‘”I heard Lord Wolf say that the Primordial Chaos Guild seems to want to dig people from the Order-keeping Front as well. They intentionally waited for the target guild to enter the ruins before they tracked them down!” Hu Fei had a trace of sadness on her face. One of the two Holy Light members who had died had a good relationship with her. “What’s wrong, Little Lotus? Why do you care about this?”
“I… Nothing, it’s just that this place is weird, it makes me feel very bad!” Xiaolian pouted and looked at the pitch-black corridor and said uneasily, “I always feel like something is going to happen next!”
“It should be fine. Even though our mission failed, now that the two teams are working together, their strength is even stronger. There are still two high-level Apostle!” Hu Fei was stunned for a moment and forcefully replied.
