Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 571: Dungeon Core (Second Update)
bsp;After Ouyang Qing and others heard what Su Peng said, there was nothing wrong with it. Although the other party had more guards, Su Peng had an advantage, that is, Gan Luo was on Su Peng's side.
Commander Gan Luo is the instructor of the Kucha Gancheng Guards. Most of the Kucha Gancheng Guards have learned sword skills from him and have a high prestige. As long as Commander Gan Luo is here, even if the other party leads a guard that is inferior to Su Peng and others If there are more, they will not directly conflict with Su Peng and others.
In fact, the real enemies of Su Peng and others are just some of the opponents' masters.
"Judging from the current situation, these people from the True God Sect and the people in white who know magic do not have any particularly tough ideas."
Su Peng thought to himself that those people seemed to have no particularly powerful masters, otherwise there would be no need to hire foreign masters like Ouyang Qing last time they entered the desert.
In this case, if it is only at this level, even if the opponent has more than ten people, Su Peng is confident that he can capture or destroy the opponent with his current men.
So, Su Peng felt relieved and asked his people to walk along the road that President Yang Xi had walked to see if there were any bargains to be found.
The man in white and the more than 40 guards led by the True God Sect were recruited by Commander Bie Ganluo and accepted by Su Peng.
Su Peng was worried that there were too few people on his side, and it would be difficult to deal with any dangers encountered in the underground city. After joining the group of more than 40 people, Su Peng's worries were alleviated a lot.
The guards knew each other and there was no problem in commanding them. In addition, they all brought enough water and food. Su Peng didn't need to worry about these, just the extra manpower to help.
Su Peng was very happy to have some manpower added again, so he asked these guards to serve as vanguard troops and take Su Peng and others to the places they had walked before.
……
Su Peng and others advanced in this underground oasis for a while, and then saw a **** in front of them. They went up from the slope. It's another tunnel.
The guards who were originally brought by the True God Cult and the men in white said that after passing through the tunnel, there was still a town. The town was similar to the town Su Peng and others had seen, but there were fewer luminous stones. , and it's just a little bleaker.
After listening to this, Su Peng confirmed some information in his mind. That is, neither the shimmering city we just passed by nor the towns brought by the True God Cult to protect us are not the core of this underground city.
These small towns should be peripheral settlements, and the real urban core should continue to focus towards the center.
Su Peng deduced a possible terrain structure here in his mind. After deducing the directions in Su Peng's memory, Su Peng discovered that the structure of this underground city was a bit like the underground research institute of the umbrella organization in the movie he had watched called "Resident Evil". It's an underground fortress called the Hive.
That is, at the top, there is a hexagonal or octagonal shape. There are six to eight town gathering points, as well as this underground oasis in front of me, forming an octagonal or hexagonal figure on the plane, and then focusing towards the center. There should be a larger city in the center, but I don’t know if it will. It will be the same three-dimensional city as in the movie, continuing to extend downward.
As for the oasis he passed just now, Su Peng also had a guess. It should be a place like a plantation. Judging from Su Peng's knowledge of botany, those fungi are most likely edible fungi.
If this is the case, then this underground city can basically be considered self-sufficient. It has ventilation channels and the air is no problem. Then there are plantations. Judging from the people living in underground cities, it seems that they can also eat the meat of a special kind of monster, if nothing unexpected. That special animal may exist deeper underground.
Now, the only thing missing is... water.
If the water source can be found, all the lifeblood of this underground city can be found, and the overall structure is ready to be revealed.
The reason why Su Peng estimated that the city here is three-dimensional is because he should be four to five hundred meters underground now, and the height of the water source must be lower than the city itself, so the water source should be in a deeper place.
With this in mind, Su Peng led the team forward to look for clues, and soon found the town the guards mentioned.
The town was about the same size as the town Su Peng encountered before, but the light was much dimmed, and there were also several tunnels in several directions of the town.
One of them is the tunnel in the direction Su Peng came from, which is where the underground oasis is. The other opposite is the tunnel where Yang Xi and the others came in, and the other two tunnels lead to two other places.
Su Peng calculated the direction and angle of his walking in his mind, and judged that one of the tunnels should be heading towards the core of the underground ancient city.
And this tunnel, according to the guards, is exactly the direction Yang Xi and others entered.
In this case, Su Peng and others did not hesitate and walked along this tunnel.
Su Peng and others walked along the tunnel. After walking for a while, Ouyang Qing suddenly stopped, grabbed Su Peng and said, "Brother Su, did you hear anything in front of me?"
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Su Peng stopped. He did not keep applying his internal energy to his ears just now. Instead, Ouyang Qing kept in this state.
Su Peng Yungong heard it, and sure enough, waves of faint sounds came over.
After listening quietly for a while, Su Peng frowned slightly and said, "It sounds like the sound of some mechanism operating? There are also some footsteps, but it doesn't sound like human footsteps. The amplitude, distance and time of each step are too similar. ”
"Huh? Really?"
Ouyang Qing was slightly stunned after hearing this. His internal strength was his weakness, and his sword skills came from the inheritance of strangers in the world. Fortunately, Ouyang Qing visited famous sects everywhere when he was young, but because of His poor background led him to encounter obstacles everywhere. On the one hand, his personality became extreme and he was hostile to famous families, but on the other hand, his internal strength was not very good.
At this time, the gap in internal strength was revealed. He just kept using his energy on his ears and heard some strange noises, but he didn't hear it as clearly as Su Peng.
"Some mechanism must have been triggered ahead. I heard it sounded like there were hundreds of moving things, but they didn't look like people, animals, or the dark green zombies I encountered before. I don't know what they were. Things, but in addition, there are bigger mechanisms activated."
Su Peng said to Ouyang Qing.
Ouyang Qing nodded and said, "Shall we move on?"
"Keep going. If there is really any danger, President Yang Xi has also opened the way for us. Since we don't see their people fleeing back, it means we can continue to move forward. Let's go and have a look ahead. It’s something.”
Su Peng was determined and said to Ouyang Qing.
Since Su Peng said this, Ouyang Qingadula and others naturally had no objections, but they asked their guards to be more careful and move forward together.
Su Peng and others moved forward at such a fast pace for a while, and within a few minutes, they arrived at the core of the place.
Sure enough, as Su Peng expected, there is still a city at the core of this tunnel.
This city is much larger than the two outer cities we encountered before. In terms of pure area, it is about four or five times that of the two outer cities.
It’s just that there are not many people in this city, and in the very center of the town is an inner city. This inner city is about the size of an ordinary town outside. In the inner city, there are constant It made the same sound as the machinery factory that Su Peng had seen in the real world, and there was also the sound of something walking.
"That's it!"
Su Peng stood on the outskirts of the core city, looked around, and said to the people around him.
Ouyang Qing stood next to Su Peng, looked around, and said: "I have a good sense of direction. There are more than a dozen tunnels around this city. I now judge that they should lead to the surrounding peripheral cities. Regardless of You can actually enter here from the city we first encountered, or from the direction we came from.”
Su Peng nodded and said: "This is a very generous place... Even if the caves are naturally formed, but in total, the core city and the peripheral cities combined are enough to live for two to three hundred thousand people. It seems that the people who built this city wanted all the population on earth to move here."
"Yes...but if you think about it, what is their purpose of moving so many people underground? And where have those people gone now?"
Adura was nearby and listened to the two people talking, and couldn't help but express their questions.
After hearing this, Ouyang Qing and the others had thoughtful expressions on their faces. They had not considered this issue. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive to build such a huge city. I am afraid it would not take fifty or sixty years to complete. Building the city requires an unknown amount of manpower and material resources. If this is really the ancient city of Forest Prison, then the Green Prison clan who built it lived well in the oasis above the ground, so why did they go underground? And thousands of years have passed, where have those people gone?
After being silent for a long time, Su Peng broke the silence and said: "Let's not make random guesses. The city inside should be the core of the city. There should be some records in the classics. We Go explore the inner city and maybe find some clues. There are many strange people in the world. Maybe there are people who understand the writing here and can let them decipher it."
After listening to Su Peng's words, Adura and others stopped thinking and nodded in agreement with Su Peng's statement.
Seeing that everyone had withdrawn their thoughts, Su Peng nodded. He led his team into the core city and headed towards the inner city that kept making strange noises...
