Alien Queen

Chapter 3 Exploration

The heavy ceiling above his head sank slowly but firmly, and the stone walls on both sides closed toward the middle with a rumbling sound, while the passage under his feet was still moving upwards. For a moment, the maze was within the reach of Li Junshan's sight or mental power. Everything is changing.

Peeping all this from outside the maze and being in it are completely different things. Li Junshan was a little confused for a moment. The alien queen beside him stretched out her forelimbs and slapped him on the top of his head. Immediately, her body turned into a whirlwind and moved forward. He quickly ran down.

Indescribable power, the mask of white light derived from the power of faith that instantly enveloped Li Junshan's body was a power that Li Junshan had never come into contact with that was completely different from magical elements including fighting spirit. It was both domineering and overbearing. It was as soft and powerful as water, but there was still a little bit of emotion in his soul.

Of course, Li Junshan, who was chasing the shadow of the alien queen, was not moved by the queen's hand on him. This was entirely the impact of the possession of the power of faith on him. Although his soul was integrated, he never really felt the power of faith. Li Junshan estimates that this touching feeling is closely related to the prayer and belief of hundreds of millions or even more believers of pagan religions.

There must be some places that never change...

Li Junshan felt that after the power of faith attached to his body without the protection of magic power, his own speed and strength had been greatly improved. With confidence, he followed the queen closely, but he also communicated with her spiritually. : Otherwise, those sarcophagi would have been crushed to pieces a long time ago, and how could they still be stored well until now.

The Alien Queen did not say a word. In the thick darkness, its body completely turned into a milky white light. In addition, the space above and below and on the left and right sides were compressed sharply, so that in Li Junshan's eyes, only a misty white shadow remained in the distorted space.

In just ten seconds or a few seconds, Li Junshan followed the Alien Queen, turning left and right and passing through at least a dozen passages and forks, but everywhere was shrinking sharply, and he saw that if he continued running, his head would touch the ceiling. The stone slabs touched and rubbed together, and the Alien Queen's shrinking body suddenly stretched and finally stopped as it swept into a large misty space.

call……

After exhaling a long breath, Li Junshan finally followed the Alien Queen and came to an extremely spacious and unchanged space. The rapidly shrinking small space was like a soft heart being squeezed from all sides by huge forces, which made him feel extra special. Uncomfortable, as soon as he entered this spacious space, he felt that his mind and thoughts had broadened a bit.

so much……

Seeing that the space behind him that was originally a passage completely closed up and turned into a thick stone wall without any space the moment after he swept out, Li Junshan used his mental power in an instant and subconsciously searched the space he was in. Whether it was through What I could see with the light of the power of faith outside my body, or the large number of abnormalities in my spiritual senses, I didn't know how many sarcophagi were cracked or pushed open around me.

At this time, the strange machine sounds and rumblings that resounded in all directions disappeared. The Alien Queen remained calm, but walked to the nearest sarcophagus, reached over with the tip of her tail, and placed it diagonally on the coffin. He opened the stone slab and immediately put his head in to look at something carefully.

Curious in his heart, Li Junshan sensed that there was no danger around him. The numerous metal monsters seemed to have completely disappeared without any trace of them. When he walked to the Alien Queen, he discovered that its terrifying mouthparts had touched the rock in the sarcophagus. On the rippling green liquid, the lips hissed and trembled, as if they were sniffing and trying to take a sip.

Li Junshan was extremely curious about this kind of green liquid soaked with metal monsters. The tip of his alienated tail gently reached out and dipped a little in the green liquid and brought it to his face for a closer look. He saw that the green liquid was extremely turbid. Among them There are strands of sticky threads all the time.

Nutritional solution? Or something else?

Li Junshan, who had watched many science fiction movies and games in his previous life, had this weird idea in his mind. But when he was still thinking about whether these weird green liquids would be of some help to the aliens, the Alien Queen completely inserted her lips into it. In the green liquid, there was a gurgling sound as he swallowed several large gulps.

Wow

It was only a few mouthfuls. When he saw the Alien Queen raising her head, there was still a large strand of sticky silky stuff stuck to the corner of her mouth. Li Junshan felt a little chill in his heart and asked directly: Is it useful for them?

It's no use.

The Alien Queen obviously knew what Li Junshan was talking about. She shook her head and shook off the disgusting things stuck to her lips. She responded mentally: Although I don't know what these things are, there is obviously no energy in them.

Well……

After working hard for most of the night, he didn't get anything. Instead, he picked up half a bottle of the Holy Water of the Fountain of Life and two crystal cores, including the anxious underworld demon and a large number of powerful metal monsters. Li Junshan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Whoosh

Just as he was about to say something else, Li Junshan suddenly felt something unusual and before he could turn around, the Alien Queen's body suddenly shot out like a sharp arrow from a string, and sank directly into the corner of the dark stone chamber.

Clang Clang... A few vigorous sparks burst out from the violent sound of metal touching. With this light, Li Junshan saw a metal monster with gray hair waving its claws and fighting with the alien queen. At the same time, it also made a buzzing sound like thousands of bees flapping their wings. This sound that shook the air extended all the way, obviously it was warning its companions.

Clang...Pfft

Along with a huge metal clanging sound, the trembling hum in the air disappeared immediately in the sound of flesh and blood breaking. Li Junshan, who rushed over to help, saw the alien queen's sharp claws cruelly opening from the metal monster. He poked it through its mouth and saw that the situation had almost penetrated its brain. The blood demon sword of the Alien Queen's white light had also pierced into the chest of the metal monster. See the heart in the chest of the ferocious trauma monster. Including the unique crystal has obviously been smashed.

That crystal...

Li Junshan swallowed it back as soon as he said it. He could imagine that the crystals in the chest that maintained the operation of these metal monsters definitely contained powerful energy. He wanted to persuade the Alien Queen to stop and try not to destroy these crystals, but suddenly he felt In the thick darkness around him, countless metal monsters rushed towards him after hearing the warning sound, and he immediately shut his mouth.

Whether it was mental perception or judgment, the Alien Queen was obviously much sharper than Li Junshan. Without thinking at all, it jumped straight to the corner of the stone room. The white light had dimmed and disappeared. It and Li Junshan were like ghosts in the night. He disappeared outside the stone door opened in the corner of the stone chamber where a large number of sarcophagi were stored.

The two at the back are mine, and the one in the front is yours.

As soon as it emerged from the stone chamber into the passage, the Alien Queen's voice rang in Li Junshan's mind. Before she even finished speaking, it had already inevitably moved towards the metal monster that clearly sensed its and Li Junshan's presence.

Qiang

Li Junshan had never fought against an enemy under such circumstances. He had not borrowed the ability of any alien, and could not use elemental power. When he bit the bullet, he raised the Vulcan's Sigh in his hand like a machete and slashed at him diagonally. It moved towards the metal monster's neck and grabbed the back of the alien queen's head as it passed by. The latter simply ignored his attack and only heard a huge metal explosion. The metal monster's body shook while its neck was just A ball of dazzling fire exploded, and Li Junshan's sharp claws went numb and he almost threw the long sword in his hand.

Roar

The metal monster suddenly turned around and looked at Li Junshan, its hairy face full of anger. It let out a low roar like a beast's roar in its throat, and the cold-light claws cut through the space and headed towards Li Junshan. He hugged her down, and the scream of the sharp claws cutting through the space was particularly harsh.

No delay...

Whether it was his mental strength or keen perception, Li Junshan clearly felt that a large number of metal guards were rushing towards him from the complicated passages behind him. He had obviously seen that the Alien Queen had knocked over a metal guard. Guarding him, he gritted his teeth, raised his alien-shaped pointed claws and picked at the knife claws that were hugged by the roaring sound. At the same time, he raised the sword blade and inserted it directly into its mouth.

Peng

The shimmering claws of the knife pierced the air and struck in front of Li Junshan. However, Li Junshan's sharp claws clenched into a fist in an instant and struck the metal monster's wrist with a sharp thrust. The metal monster's claws were shaken away by the huge force. While drops of green blood oozed from Li Junshan's claws due to the violent resistance, the blade in his hand had accurately penetrated into the metal monster's mouth.

hiss……

The signature scream of alienation came from his throat. Li Junshan stirred hard with his right hand, and the metal monster's huge kiss suddenly burst into a cloud of blood mist and sparks caused by the friction between teeth and metal. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove it. The metal monster's head was stabbed into the air. Li Junshan simply used all his strength to stir it up. It wasn't until he heard a strange cracking sound coming from the mouth of the metal monster that his body was shaking so hard that it couldn't swing its claws that he suddenly pulled back. Long sword.

Walk

The movement of a large number of metal monsters in the passage behind him was only about a hundred meters away. Seeing that the metal monster in front of him stiffened but did not fall, Li Junshan rushed past it and rushed towards the alien queen who had successfully eliminated the two metal guards. Said: There are too many things behind, so stay away for now...

Before he finished speaking, Li Junshan, who suddenly sensed danger, dodged sideways without looking back. Even though his reaction was quick and sharp, he only felt a burning pain in his lower back.

Li Junshan knew very well that the five heart-piercing wounds on his lower back were caused by the metal monster he thought he had killed.

Misty white light rose up, and the blood charm sword in the Alien Queen's hand was once again filled with the power of faith. The sword flashed directly into the chest of the metal monster that once again raised its sharp claws to grab it, but it was that The location of the energy crystal.

thump

The metal monster's movements completely stiffened, and at the same time it fell, the Alien Queen picked up Li Junshan and disappeared there.

Don't attack their heads. It won't have much effect unless you can cut them off.

The Alien Queen did not bother to conceal her figure and withdrew the power of faith. She pulled Li Junshan to the left and right, changing back and forth and changing dozens of different maze passages. Then the white light dissipated outside her body and turned into The ghost in the dark night said to Li Junshan during spiritual communication: Only attacking the crystal in their chest will be effective.

Won't.

Li Junshan, who was still in shock, shook his head. He was a little ashamed of his carelessness just now, but he was still unhappy because he couldn't rely on those aliens to fight in this environment and he was somewhat ineffective. During the spiritual communication, he responded to the queen. : Their back skulls are also the gate of life, but my previous attack did not completely destroy the crystalline thing in their back skulls.

With a helpless smile on his face, Li Junshan added: I also know that attacking their chests is the most direct and effective way, but my long sword cannot break the metal outside their bodies at all, and I can only attack their mouths. It has some effect.”

We have to find a way to find a magic circle or something that creates a gravity space here, otherwise these metal monsters might get anxious and fire directly in this passage...

Li Junshan walked silently behind the Alien Queen. He came in and ran for a long time without seeing the passage where the vines of the meat grinder were broken, but he didn't know whether he and the Alien Queen were lost in the maze now. Worried, he said: After all, if they can't do anything to us or the underworld demon, sooner or later they will risk it and use the wrist cannon on their right arm. After all, it is their duty to protect this place.

Dispersing his mental power and carefully guarding the dark space, Li Junshan added: If there is no gravity space, no matter how many metal monsters there are, I will not be afraid. I just saw that the alien blood is also corrosive to them. The metal monster just caught it The knife claws on my lower back are already emitting green smoke and are corroded. As long as there is no gravity space, other aliens can deal with them if we don't take action.

This is just a wonderful idea. In fact, there is no gravity space. Li Junshan believes that the burrowing messenger is enough to solve the dilemma before him.

Let's wait until we get to the deepest point.

To Li Junshan's suggestion, the Alien Queen simply responded: This maze is much bigger than we imagined. Now it seems that just relying on your meat grinder to break through it probably won't be able to reach it in a few months. Deep in the maze. And judging from the current situation, we are not searching and exploring the maze, but we are trapped here.

Li Junshan had almost confirmed this reality in his heart, but when he heard that the Alien Queen confirmed this, he was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the dark space around him, he felt extremely depressed.

………………

The three metal guards all had a big hole in their chests. When the black-haired metal monster came over with twenty or thirty companions, Li Junshan and the Alien Queen had already disappeared into the darkness, looking at Blood flowed across the dead companion. An angry look appeared on the face of the black-haired monster, and a pair of mechanical eyes that looked more like crystals than smart eyes were suddenly as scarlet as blood.

Kill...kill them all...

The black-haired metal monster suddenly made a strange voice unknown to outsiders: Don't worry about anything anymore. Even if this place is destroyed and buried forever, don't let anyone know the secrets here. Use all means... …Kill them.”

The two dozen metal guards did not say a word, but stood blankly like soulless puppets, and there were strange mechanical sounds on their right arms, followed by the wrist that made Li Junshan horrified before. Cannon stretched out, and when the black-haired metal monster waved his hand violently, more than twenty metal guards quickly passed by it and disappeared into the darkness.

After walking a few steps over the corpse of his companion, the black-haired monster raised his head and roared the same command to his companions scattered in the maze. The weird metallic synthesized sound was filled with the ultimate human anger. and murderous intent.

It seems that the underworld demons are confronting them.

It felt like he and the Alien Queen were running around in a complicated maze like headless flies. When the black-haired monster's roar of orders suddenly sounded, Li Junshan thought that the underworld demon and the metal monster had got into hands, even if At this time, his predicament was exactly the same as that of the underworld demon, but this still made Li Junshan feel a vicious secret joy in his heart.

The gravity in space is getting stronger and stronger...

The Alien Queen suddenly sent a spiritual communication to Li Junshan: But this at least shows that we are getting closer and closer to the depths of the maze.

Because he was wearing armor, Li Junshan couldn't feel the influence of gravity space at all, but he didn't know what the Alien Queen was basing his judgment on. However, this did not affect his trust in the Queen. He felt slightly happy and suddenly thought of something, He hurriedly asked the queen: The secrets or treasures in this maze are obviously very important. Those metal monsters seem to be just defending on the periphery now. Do you think that if we are lucky enough to run around and crash deep into the depths of the maze, what will happen? Will you encounter weirder or more powerful guardians?

I don't know. Before the Alien Queen finished speaking, she suddenly accelerated and ran forward. Li Junshan didn't notice anything unusual in his mental induction. However, when he rushed to catch up, he saw several strange groups through the faint white light that appeared on the Queen's blade. things.

It was like an iron object being completely squeezed into a ball by the terrifying gravity. Li Junshan looked at it carefully for a long time and then roughly figured out that the iron ball that appeared in the corner of the passage looked like an armor. The decorative patterns on the surface also made him sure that he was judgment.

The other twisted iron ball was a broadsword, and the blade and the handle could still be roughly seen. Looking at the thick layer of powder beneath the two iron balls, Li Junshan suddenly understood what these were.

How many strong people have died in this maze? This person was able to get here without the gravity-resistant space armor, but in the end he turned into a pile of bone powder...

With some emotion in his heart, Li Junshan did not dare to imagine that he and the queen would become the same in the eyes of future generations as the strong man in front of him, whose skeleton had already been weathered.
