Elf Dark Insect Master

The deeper you go, the thicker the water vapor around you becomes.

Everyone can feel that the exposed skin on the body becomes more moist, and a slight cold breath lingers on the gentle touch.

For the first few dozen steps, the surroundings were spacious and brightly lit.

After walking about a few hundred steps, the air gradually became less humid and the light became much dimmer.

"The passage leads to the ground at the end. There are several forked roads. Most of them lead to places with elves. If you step forward, you will be attacked. Everyone should follow closely and don't get lost."

Colonel Kaiba led the way at the front and shouted loudly to alert the people behind.

Mainly to remind Sycamore, Emma and Bana, as well as the people on the Doctor's side.

There are some deeply carved marks on the wall, guiding everyone along the way.

Another thing Captain Kaiba didn't say was more cruel.

In order to fully explore this place, three soldiers and seven elves were sacrificed during that time.

Two soldiers were missing, as well as several elves they brought with them.

There are no big surprises in the cave, except for some wild elves living in it, which are really fierce.

The elves living here are also mainly insect-type, that is, the Rock Temple Crab family, there is also a rare type of elves called Drip Spiders, and a type called Yo-Yo Ball with the same water-bug attribute that evolves into a Rainwing Moth. Elf.

Among them, the Rock Temple Dweller Crabs are the most troublesome. The rock properties they emit are often easily enhanced in this cave environment, and can easily cause collapse. This makes everyone follow Colonel Kaiba's reminder and surrender after encountering them. A large amount of food is used as "tolls", or they simply run away without fighting back, not wanting to cause the cave passage to collapse and be buried alive.

The surroundings were getting darker and darker. Several soldiers stood at the front, middle and back of the team. They put on and turned on the strong light on the hats similar to miners' hats, illuminating the surrounding area.

It is the strong light that causes dissatisfaction among the wild elves living here. Some of them are irritable. After gradually adapting to the sudden strong light in the dark cave, they will attack these strange intruders brazenly.

"Hurry up"

Colonel Kaiba hurried forward, constantly urging the others to speed up.

His mission is not to clean up the wild elves here and establish a safe base or route.

As a highly trained soldier, Colonel Kaiba knows how to focus his energy on completing the mission rather than engaging in too many unnecessary battles.

They avoid fights like these if they can. If the other party insists on pursuing them, they smash a bottle of insect repellent spray and use chemical weapons to prevent the upcoming conflict.

In this way, when some researchers who did not do much physical work felt that their legs were exploding, they finally reached their destination.

At this time, the entrance of the cave usually becomes spacious and bright again from being narrow just now.

After walking out of the cave, the world suddenly opened up in front of us.

They looked up and saw that most of the sky was covered by dense canopies of trees, one after another.

Looking around from below, we can see tall and straight logs, each at least ten meters high. Judging from the bark, they seem to have gone through many vicissitudes of life.

Looking at the ground below, there is a light brown land without much dense green grass.

The sun above the head is always taken away by the huge tree crowns, leaving not much left for the protected grass seeds.

Looking at the stones that occasionally come into view, they are all covered with slippery moss.

This very primitive and ancient scene seemed to have a powerful force that made everyone silent, and no one spoke for a while.

Colonel Kaiba unknowingly lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, please be careful and don't run around. This place is very mysterious and weird. We call it a non-existent dense forest. There are many weird and powerful elves hiding in the dark."

Wutong's face remained normal, but he was surprised in his heart.

Before he even stepped foot here, he noticed it when he was approaching the underground cave.

Originally, with his cautious character, he naturally "herded" a large-billed gull flying in the sky.

Wutong lets it fly in the sky, moving in sync with itself underground, monitoring every move on the ground.

But now, he was clearly on the ground, but he couldn't receive the signal from the big-billed gull.

This is never normal

You must know that if the connection of mental power is regarded as a radio wave signal, then he can maintain contact with the big-billed gull at a range of several kilometers and at any point in all directions.

If the energy is anchored to only one person or an elf, it will go even further.

As long as the other party carries the corresponding token, the token he gives may be called a transmitter.

Then, he can even sense a distant anchoring existence half a region away.

Wutong picked up his energy and began to focus.

With this ability to isolate induction, this must be a very special place.

But he wasn't too worried, at least Colonel Kaiba had explored this place before.

They didn't go any other way.

Since I came out just now, there has been a road in front of me, leading straight ahead.

There is not a single tree in front of this road, and the trees on both sides are neatly spaced, showing obvious traces of artificial planting.

"Emma, ​​this place is very weird and dangerous. You have to be careful." Wutong reminded the elites of Team Flare beside him.

"I know." Emma glanced at him, wondering if this person was talking nonsense. The other colonel had just said it earlier. Was this a re-read?

However, she didn't know that Wutong rarely did this.

Once you do that, there's something really unusual and dangerous about this place.

As they were walking, suddenly, someone was startled.

"what"

It was a female assistant from the institute. She screamed, causing everyone to be nervous.

Following her gaze, everyone saw something disappearing in the dense forest on the right.

Colonel Kaiba looked ugly, stared at Morrison, and said in a cold voice, "Doctor, control your men, don't be surprised. We are risking our lives to protect you now, don't make it difficult for us."

Morrison nodded and swallowed, his face full of undisguised regret.

He had previously studied some relics brought back by Captain Kaiba and was very interested in this place.

I asked Colonel Kaiba several times, but he always said that he would only bring outsiders like the doctor back again with permission from his superiors.

Morrison tried several times, including asking people he knew in the company, but he couldn't get through to him.

This time, he can be said to have taken advantage of Team Flare.

However, at this time, Morrison felt a little regretful. The danger in front of him seemed to be beyond his expectation.

Strong scientific curiosity and fear of danger and death have never been in conflict.

As for the four assistants, they were complaining and extremely regretful.

If Dr. Morrison hadn't offered a generous extra reward to attract four people to participate in this ruins exploration, how could they be like now, as if they were entering a very dangerous desperate situation.

Everyone has their own ideas and positions, but no one can turn around and leave and escape from here.

Move forward, move forward.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At the seventh minute, everyone saw the ruins.

A cliff.

high

very high

At least it was so tall that none of the tall old logs were as tall as it.

At the same time, it is so steep that it is almost straight and does not look like it can be climbed.

"Colonel, have you ever been in the air?"

Wutong suddenly asked, inexplicably thinking of that overseas trip that happened a long time ago, but it wasn't actually that long ago.

Colonel Kaiba raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop in front of the cliff. When he heard the young scholar's question, his expression suddenly changed.

He was very serious, serious, and gave a stern warning, "Don't fly into the sky and never fly away from the tree crown."

With that said, Colonel Kaiba asked two more of his men to clear out the entrance to the cliff, which had been covered up by vines and branches.

"I'm sure we are not on the ground of Santina Island now. The last time we explored, two soldiers and their mounts tried to fly out of the canopy. Then all I heard was screams, and then there was no sound. I don't know what kind of monster elf it takes to make two well-trained soldiers and elf screams stop in just a few seconds." Colonel Kaiba told the story in more detail than usual this time. Stories from my last exploration.

The effect was very good, and everyone gave up the idea of ​​flying into the sky.

The side effects were also obvious, and the look of fear on everyone's faces became even more intense.

Colonel Kaiba showed an unfunny smile, as if he was forcing himself to laugh, and said, "Don't be too afraid, as long as you walk along the main road just now, and here is the entrance to the ruins, don't touch anything after entering, it's okay It’s quite safe.”

The soldiers cleared the entrance. Only then did everyone realize that it was a door.

A door embedded in a flat stone cliff is five or six meters high by visual inspection.

"This is ancient writing"

As an elf doctor, Morrison immediately recognized the patterns or words on the broken stone door. He quickly walked over and got closer to the door. He opened his eyes and looked carefully with a hungry expression.

When he discovered that a hole had been blown into the broken stone door, his face froze.

He turned to look at Colonel Kaiba and asked in disbelief, "The stone fragments you brought back last time were the ones who blew up the door."

Colonel Kaiba didn't understand these researchers. He nodded indifferently and said, "This is the only way to get in. The door is sealed. Even an old builder and a powerful man couldn't push it open. It only took several minutes. Only then did two dragon-headed gophers get through an entrance."

An irregular hole about half a person's height was drilled in the middle of the stone door, indicating the next action.

One by one, everyone went in through the hole with their waists bent.

After Wutong entered, his eyes were watching, and at the same time, his mental power was quietly spreading in all directions.

What you can see with the naked eye is the architectural style of the ancient civilization in the Carlos region.

There are tall stone pillars with insect-type elves painted on them, and there are stone sculptures of insect-type elves in each of the four corners of the entrance hall.

They are the Giant Needle Bee, Heracross, Kairos and the Flying Mantis.

None of them are insect-type elves characteristic of Kalos or Unova, which is weird.

Other than that, it's empty and not much worth noting.

"Be careful, don't touch anywhere. If you want to take pictures, you can take pictures. We will stay here for three minutes and then continue exploring."

Captain Kaiba ordered them like this, but they were not too worried.

At least the last time he came here, except for the deadly traps hidden in certain places, there was no sudden attack by a group of elves.

Wutong was looking at the murals on the stone pillars at any time, and his mental power had detected the distance far enough.

Room after room, stone house after stone house.

""

The waves were gradually rising in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm on his face.

Stone sculptures are alive

These stone sculptures have special energy radiation reactions

I had the same reaction as those strange elf-like stone sculptures at Stonehenge.

Just this point made Wutong understand instantly.

Even if there are no clues to super evolution in this place, it is definitely related to the king Az who ruled the earth 3000 years ago in the Kalos region.

In other words, it has something to do with the largest kingdom of that era.

Outside, the stone statues in the Stonehenge on the Kalos continent were all special beings transformed by the ultimate weapon. They were originally living elves, but their life energy was extracted and transformed into A stone statue that emits strange radiation.

This is special, unlike ordinary things that absorb energy and directly shatter into powder or break.

Wutong didn't seem to be too interested in these relics and culture. After a cursory look, Emma found that he was approaching the mixed-race indigenous colonel.

"Colonel, what progress did you make in your exploration before, that is, the last time?" he asked directly.

"We explored to the left, and then explored more than a dozen rooms. We walked for hundreds of meters. We encountered some traps and lost a lot of manpower. We were worried that there would not be enough manpower on the way back, so we could only rush to the last room. I took some things and left here." Colonel Kaiba knew that this person was the core of this mission, so he spoke more.

"Last time, when did it happen? Specific time?" Wutong continued to ask.

"Winter, December." Colonel Kaiba replied simply.

"That's almost four months in the past." Bana agreed as he came over at some unknown time.

The two of them looked at him, the male elite member of Team Flare, and continued, "Then please Colonel Kaiba, please continue to lead the way. If there is nothing wrong, if we continue to explore on the left, we will definitely find the clues we want."

Wutong just nodded and didn't want to continue to show off.

In fact, he probably knows more than anyone here.

Left, middle and right, three directions, corresponding to three places.

Wutong is not yet able to explore dead objects. This is determined by his extraordinary abilities and characteristics.

He is better at detecting living creatures, or high-energy reactions.

Elves with superpower attributes like Yang Xue, who are more inclined to telepathy and mental power, can "touch" objects through telekinesis, and use reflection imaging to understand the scene outside the visual distance by imaging the outline of the object like a radar. .
