Chapter 848: The Cave Under the Lake

Times are changing.

[Space of Destiny] is indeed the only pillar for human beings to survive in such a doomsday, and even to fight against the alien demons.

But we must not rely on fate for everything.

All the resources that can be used to fight against the alien demons, even the deformed living creatures and chaotic materials outside the city, can be used by humans.

At the same time, through the platform of destiny, the development of science and technology is promoted to the greatest extent.

Although the entropy value is different in different destiny worlds, the technology tree is different, and there is a "technical isolation" in itself.

However, the knights can exchange points for a large amount of scientific research materials, and obtain a technological blueprint in the background of a high-tech era. Taking the steam technology developed by the Holy City itself as the foundation, and the high-tech technology of the Destiny World as the branch, they will create a unique human race in the Holy City. Tech tree.

Develop military weapons that can threaten aliens.

The "power armor" prepared by Steam City for all members of the expedition force is the joint crystallization of human wisdom and destiny platform.

same.

More than two hundred years of dissection, analysis and research on the body of alien demons.

In addition to the strong repulsion of "copper" metal atoms, the alien demon cells show strong repulsion.

It also shows rejection, restriction, suppression of regeneration, and even cell annihilation for Holy Light, Mithril, and patterns recorded on ancient slates.

Twenty years ago.

The Steam Knights-Deputy Commander [Congreve Newton] submitted a military research project to the parliament in the name of the Mechanic God, trying to integrate all the 'things' that can restrain the demons into metal machinery. .

Years passed.

A batch of "copper bullets" with the church's seal printed on the surface of the bullet casings were distributed free of charge to the knights who used firearms.

Excellent feedback in a short period of time.

Bullets show excellent lethality to alien demons below the "mature body".

Bullets that successfully hit the target can effectively inhibit regeneration and cause damage at the cellular level.

Especially when fighting in groups,

This way of combat can save physical energy, and firearms alone can kill a large number of low-level evil and low-level demons.

[Knights of the Wind] even established a secret connection with Mr. Newton in private.

Willing to pay a hefty fee, and even provide some shooting knights, rushing to Steam City for a real combat exercise...trying to order a large batch of ammunition.

If possible, they also hope that the Mechanicus can make some more efficient and powerful bullets, which can be used to deal with high-level alien demons in special circumstances.

that's it.

"Sacred Bronze Bullets" began to be mass-produced, and a military workshop was added in Steam City.

These bullets were slowly put into various investigative missions and small-scale expeditions.

In order to meet the arrival of the Great Crusade.

Congreve Newton took the initiative to apply for a batch of funds from the [gold master], and produced a large number of copper bullets, which were provided to the expeditionary force for free.

Many knights who benefited from it held a different kind of respect for Mr. Newton.

...

The lake wars are over.

Rely on [Shadow Assassin] to launch a surprise attack to attract the enemy's attention to the greatest extent.

He then found the weakness of this disguised toad through the "Assassin's Heart" and passed it back to the knights on the shore of the lake.

Using the dust from the explosion as cover, the gun-savvy knight pinpointed all the toads' weak spots with precision aiming instruments.

Tongues of fire erupted.

Within ten seconds, all the strange toads in the lake were shot and killed.

"This bullet...is the product of the Mechanic God?

The copper skin, the engraving of the secret script, and the high-concentration holy water in the core of the bullet, Mr. Newton really bothered.

This kind of thing is estimated to be able to deal with low-level evil and wild monsters with one shot, and even newborn monsters will be injured.

But... this lake should be just a test for the toads.

Through hundreds of [wild monsters] that are not even considered alien demons, relying on the lake as a cover to test the strength of the Knights.

Next, the real thing should come out. "

Just as Han Dong thought.

With hundreds of toads killed.

A vortex slowly appeared in the center of the lake, and the lake water was continuously flowing to the depths.

As the lake water receded, the entire lake evolved into a spiral staircase extending into the depths of the ruins... It seems to be the old nest of [Toad].

Since the mission of the Knights was to win the battle, there was no reason to retreat.

Under the singing and playing of the bard Meredith, and in line with the victory of the lake war, all members maintained a high-pitched mental state and went deeper along the spiral staircase.

The deeper you go, the stronger your body responds.

In addition to some herpes growing on the surface of the knight's body, some also have toad skin structures, and even a few people have a few black hairs growing between their skins...

Han Dong also kept the [Magic Eye] closed throughout the whole process, secretly calculating the plan.

unique

The steps at the bottom of the lake led the knight company to the depths of the ground, corresponding to a dark and damp giant cave.

The torches couldn't be lit here at all, and once they were taken out, they were soaked through.

Fortunately, the power armor rooms are equipped with lighting devices, and some knights who are proficient in holy light and flame also light up themselves, illuminating the caves at the bottom of the lake to the greatest extent.

Similar to a natural cave, except that there are a large number of circular raised structures between the rock layers, similar to the skin of a toad.

"What kind of building is this...?"

A strange and huge stone building is located about a hundred meters in front of the Knights.

From the current view of the Knights, only the main gate of the building can be seen... The gate alone is several tens of meters high, and the entire building is completely integrated with the cave.

There is a "Stone Toad" on each side of the gate

"moon?"

Han Dong deciphered the high-level text imprinted on the base of the stone toad.

"Our location should be the front yard of the Toad Palace.

The cave is essentially the Toad Palace, that is, the territory of the "medium lease" pairing... The scale of the interior of the palace should be terrifyingly large, and the battle may be different from the large-scale battle in the imagination, and it will evolve into a kind of multiple small battles inside the palace. Scale conflict.

It is also unknown how many toads are hiding in it. "

thought here.

The black sand of death slowly overflowed from Han Dong's left palm, and the sand wrapped the "Mobile Title Deed - Scarlet Manor".

According to the way Scarlet Earl said, verify whether the title deeds can devour each other.

Om... The title deed felt a slight tremor.

"Huh? Earl, didn't you say that only the same type of deed can be swallowed?

This toad's medium-sized title deed, built in a cave at the bottom of the lake, has extremely high humidity and exists in the form of a palace, which is completely different from the Scarlet Manor.

Why are there still sensations? "

The Earl in the body is also confused.

"Strange... Shouldn't it be? How could this earl's manor be related to this damp, messy, toad territory without artistic style and beauty?

Could it be that the interior of the palace is different? "

"Let's not talk about this, I will ask if you can swallow it?"

"To be able to produce such a resonance sensation means that there is homology between the title deeds... It can definitely be swallowed. It's just..."

"That's fine."

"Hey! Don't mess around, kid, didn't you see Chan Zu observing all of this in secret? The mouse in Perugia City doesn't matter, you caught its weakness and happened to win.

Toad ancestors are not atavistic, and even the mythical body is not worth mentioning in front of it.

This Earl doesn't want to be turned into the incubator of his larvae. "

"I'm scared too... Don't worry, if I don't have a firm certainty, I won't start a war."

"Even if you are sure, you can't! This count will definitely not participate."
