Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 14: Star Shepherd King Court

When you opened your eyes, you could see an unusually wide, unusually bright silver-white metal hall.

In this huge space with a length of more than 400 meters in length and a height of more than 100 meters, there is nothing, nothing to see, everything except the streamlined rune light on the ceiling and walls. It was blank, and there was no even air in the entire hall, it was an extremely thin vacuum.

The scale of the hall is really huge. This is a proportion and structure that ordinary humans simply cannot accept. The sense of incompatibility and illusion produced by instinct can make everyone in the hall feel as uncomfortable as entering the kingdom of giants.

And the bright light emitted by the runes around is a special kind of torture. The light waves containing special energy fluctuations stimulate all the irradiated biological nerves, making them absolutely unable to sleep and falling into crazy exhaustion-more Needless to say, there is no vacuum. The inability to breathe is the death torture that most creatures cannot bear.

And just in the center of the vacuum hall, which seems to be wide and bright, but actually a kind of special prison, there are five translucent crystal pillars towering, and on the five crystal pillars, five human-shaped metal cans are covered by some kind of The sealing circle was hung in the air, unable to move.

"...Where is this place?"

Knight Clark opened his eyes blankly. He just woke up from the shock after the failed teleportation. But when he opened his eyes, what the knight saw was not the desolate land in another world (most of the time), but an obvious one. It is the hall of civilization creation.

Soon, the knight discovered that he was now being bound by the magic circle, tied to a crystal pillar that was obviously sealed.

"You woke up, sure enough, your mental quality is the worst among the five of us."

From the communicator on the inside of the helmet, the priest's voice with a little electronic sound suddenly came out: "Don't do anything, keep the original posture, and pretend that you are still in a coma."

Although the Cavaliers are said to be the worst in quality, but compared to his teammates as spellcasters, he also quickly realized that the situation was wrong, and then just as the priest said, keep his body still and pretend to return. In a coma.

At this time, all five of them are wearing the special "exploring alien armor" made by Moldavia collar, which is a fully sealed and fully covered special full-body armor, and the outer armor is forged from an'active metal alloy' , Has a certain degree of self-repair and strong world adaptability, will not melt due to overheating, nor will it become brittle due to overcooling. The inner armor is made of special'self-healing materials' obtained by analyzing the body of the legendary demon lord. It also has unparalleled suitability. It can even temporarily assimilate with the wearer's skin, provide nerve induction, and become the wearer. Part of the body.

For some reason, none of the mana armors of the five of them were removed. It is precisely because of this that they can live in a vacuum for such a long time. The self-circulation system that comes with the armor allows the team members to survive for a while in the void. Time, a mere vacuum is really nothing.

"what happened?"

The Cavaliers felt bad for a while. He knew that he and others must have been involved in something bad again, so he quickly asked his teammates: "Captain, this is..."

"You better take a break first, I'll ask first."

However, the mage decisively interrupted a certain crow’s mouth, he directly interrupted, and said to the mana armor who was also motionless and pretending to be in a coma: "Captain, what you mean is that we are now being caught by a group of higher aliens. The intelligent beings are arrested, and now they are planning to torture us through all kinds of torture, asking some questions that we don't actually know the answer to?"

"Yes."

The mage's tone was full of resentment, but the question was clear, so Priest, who had been thinking calmly all the time, immediately replied: "That's how it is."

"At the last moment of our teleportation, an inexplicable attraction attracted us to a weird steel altar. At that time, you were basically all in a coma. Although I was awake, I was also dizzy...and just then, I saw A very strange alien life...come in front of us."

When he said that it was weird, Priest's tone was a little weird. He sent the images of alien creatures to the other four people through the communication function of the mana armor.

This is a crustacean with a strange shape and a spider-like appearance-but it is definitely not a real crustacean.

They have a gray-black carapace, sharp eight-legs, and a disc-like body with obvious'visual organs' mouthparts and crab-like forelimbs...On this, no matter how you look at it, it is nothing more than Some kind of strange big crab, but the most important thing is not this body, but a mushroom-like object'broken out of the shell' from the center of the disc body.

Is that a creature? Or is it a plant? In other words, is it really some kind of fungus? No one can confirm this without touching it with his own hands. Unlike the huge body, the fungus body is relatively thin. If you have to compare it, it is probably like a finger and the entire palm. Its elliptical umbrella cover is flowing with obvious magic light, and the light shines regularly, which proves that this is indeed a kind of intelligent life.

"...It looks a bit like a parasitic fungus."

The well-informed alchemist expressed his opinions. He has dealt with all kinds of strange plant creatures and fungi all the year round, so he can see the special features of this life form at a glance: "I don’t know if you have seen it, there is one This kind of fungus can parasitize the insects, control the insects' actions, and finally eat them completely... This thing looks similar. The crab below is probably just a parasitic body."

"Indeed, when they interrogated me, they did use something like the fungus column above as their main body."

Priest took the conversation, and he continued: "This kind of alien life has extremely powerful spiritual power. It tries to peep into our spiritual world when we are in a coma-but because the species gap is too large, the logic of thinking It was also completely different. It couldn't do this, and then when it used spiritual communication to forcibly torture me'how to find them', I deliberately cut off the oxygen supply to my brain and passed out into a coma."

When talking about this, Priest seemed to think of something funny. He smiled in the communicator and said: "These alien beings seem to think that the'magic armor' is also part of our body, plus the active metal alloy. It is indeed a bit biological, so they have been torturing the armor, whipping and cutting, and cut off a few of my'fingers', but they did not expect to strip the armor off-they seem to think we are Such a species with a strong body and strong self-regeneration ability."

In this regard, even in such a serious environment, everyone couldn't help but laugh—sometimes, the gap between species and civilization is so large that it is indeed enough to cause such misunderstandings.

But soon, the topic returned to seriousness.

"These alien beings seem to call themselves ‘fleet’. They should be sailing in the void, which just happened to lead to our failed teleportation."

Priest summed it up like this: "Based on the known information, I can roughly deduce that they should be carrying out a secret operation, so that's why we are very nervous about the sudden appearance of us, and have been interrogating how we found them."

"What shall we do next?"

The priesthood speaks concisely and concisely.

"Wait for the time, collect information, and after roughly understand the situation, use the'return beacon' to leave directly."

Priest didn’t talk nonsense either, he said solemnly: “These alien creatures think that the armor is our body, and it is impossible to analyze in a short time what is in the inner layer of our armor, whether it is a necessary life-saving organ— —As long as we don’t pay attention to these things, we can return via the beacon at any time.”

"Although it's a pity that I have to leave without completing anything, but knowing that such a special kind of alien life exists is not without gain."

The mission of the Foreign Exploration Department, in the final analysis, is to find a different world that can be colonized and a world of valuable resources. At the same time, searching for alien civilizations is also an important task, whether it is a primitive civilization with great potential but still very weak like the dragon people in the world of Koronos, or a huge and advanced alien civilization like the Xinghai world. .

Although Captain Kitta has repeatedly reiterated that the value of the return beacon may be greater than that of their five exploration team members-but this is just a kind of good joke, should be used or should be used, and Priest can't help thinking of this. Fortunately, they happened to have brought this thing this time, otherwise they would have been trapped in this weird place.

However, just when Priest asked the players to remain silent.

Hum.

A dull buzzing sound rang from one side of the hall.

A round ‘door’ was opened.

A large amount of air was injected rapidly, and the turbid gas was mixed with gray-yellow spores, releasing extremely obvious magical fluctuations. In just ten seconds, the originally empty and pale huge hall was filled with air that obviously came from another world.

And a group of eight-legged fungi just walked out of the round gate and came to the five people who were bound by the magic circle on the crystal pillar.

This team of eight-legged fungi has arc-like magical shields rotating around their bodies. They are not here for interrogation, but for other purposes-everyone in the exploration team closed their voices and held their breath, paying attention to these alien beings nervously. When planning to do something, accompanied by a wave of magic, five crystal pillars just rose from the ground and floated in the air.

The head of an eight-legged fungus flashed with magical light on the canopy of its head. This seemed to be a kind of'gesture' for casting spells. Then, five translucent energy wires were connected to the crystal pillar, and it was just like this, pulling and floating. The crystal column, and the five people on it began to walk around.

Da Da Da, Da Da Da.

The conversation between the eight-legged fungi relies on some kind of weird and sharp neighing sound, or even some kind of ultrasonic vibration. What the human ear can hear is only a one-sided part, but at this time, whether it is Priest or The others did not hear the slightest neighing, and all the eight-legged fungi moved forward in silence and left the hall.

‘Aren’t they going to deal with us? ! ’

Through the communicator that comes with the magic armor, the knight sent a text message, and by looking at the punctuation, he can tell that he is very nervous at this time: "Take us eight pieces and throw it into the trash, even the heart of the magic engine... I heard that Lord Lord threw a lot of monsters into it at the beginning, but the death was terrible, terrible, and terrible! ’

'shut up! ''To shut up! ''Shut up! ’’Naughty animal! "Everyone including Priest is about to be stunned: "You crow's mouth, if you speak, I won't let you go even if I die!" ’

The eight-legged fungus does not know the communication within the expedition team, but they do not need to know either.

After leaving the vacuum-enclosed hall that seemed to be used as a ‘isolation and imprisonment’, the five people who had been proven to be virus-free and non-dangerous were brought into a truly alien civilization by this group of gray-black eight-legged fungi.

Suddenly, all members of the exploration team forgot to communicate, shocked and immersed in the scenes they saw.

The huge imprisonment hall is a rectangular metal cabin suspended in mid-air. Priest originally thought it was big enough, and it was already a huge building that humans would be difficult to adapt to, but what he did not expect was that it was outside this hall. , A building like this is not worth mentioning at all.

——What a vast world is this?

Above the hall, there is a rumbling, constantly reorganized "metal sky". Under the hall, there is a vast and endless layer of "bioland" that is endless.

This is a man-made environment in a round sky. The half-metal, half-life "sky" is constantly squirming. The fungus column-like material forms the main structure of the semi-circular dome. At the top of the dome, a huge The magic sun lamp released a bright orange light, shining on the flat ground.

The earth itself is also alive, a squirming fungal column. On the ground, there are all kinds of towering living buildings, like honeycomb-like structures everywhere, tens of thousands of eight-legged fungi enter and leave the honeycomb, carry materials, and perform work.

The imprisonment hall is a high-altitude extension facility located in the center of the world, a super-giant central honeycomb. This group of eight-legged fungi took the crystal column of the Seal Exploration Team to sit on a cable car that looked like a pitcher plant, and then Just continue to lead them forward.

There was no time to think, react or sigh. Everyone present subconsciously turned on the photography function of the magic armor and began to record the surrounding video data frantically.

Priest felt that his eyes were not enough at all-at this time, a group of people had been taken into the giant central hive. The eight-legged fungi seemed to have no sense of secrecy. They were allowed to observe the surrounding environment at will. They were sitting. The cable car, vertically enters an entrance of the hive, to its most center.

In such a short period of time, Priest observed countless extremely valuable intelligence information during the movement of the cable car.

It should be the funnel-shaped white organ of the ‘energy engine’ by loading various organic substances and outputting a lot of magic power.

With magic power for cutting, filling, and separating, there are dozens of processing chambers where eight-legged fungi work.

Planting a certain kind of plant, or a production base for half-plant, half-biological weird things.

A translucent enclosed chamber immersed in a light golden liquid, you can vaguely see that there are several eight-legged embryo shadows floating in the chamber.

Priest even subconsciously forgot that he should hide his actions. He turned his head slightly, looked around, and looked around the moving cable car. That is a unique scene of alien biological civilization~www.novelmtl.com~ As the cable car deepened, he saw that the internal structure of the honeycomb became stronger and stronger, similar to metal. He saw countless prisms made of crystal-transparent materials inserted in the fungus pillars, seeming to be controlling its growth and actions through the flow of magical power. Priest found that the deeper the inside of the honeycomb, the brighter the light, and the self-luminous phenomenon brought about by the high concentration of magic makes it possible to clearly see everything around it without any light source.

Not only Priest, but the five people in the exploration team saw that around the cable car, white fungal bubbles floating in mid-air began to appear-the surface and inside of these fungal bubbles were covered with obviously incomparable speciality. Runes, bacteria bubbles collide with each other and merge with each other, and from time to time an extremely huge bacteria bubble is formed, and then this large bacteria bubble splits rapidly again, turning into thousands of small bacteria bubbles again. They seem to be performing some kind of calculation and information exchange. Every time the vesicles merge and split, it is equivalent to a spark of thought and inspiration, and a magical whistle will sound in the air.

It's too big.

If the giant honeycomb is the size of a person, then the imprisonment hall hundreds of meters long and 100 meters high is just the size of a human fingernail. Going deep into the center of the central hive, Priest felt like he was entering an extremely huge biological center.

In the body of this creature, countless eight-legged fungi are moving back and forth, just like bees and ants, walking between huge fungal structures one after another, working hard and tirelessly.

And at the center of the hive that was bright enough to be shining like noon, the destination of Octopod Fungus and Priest's group had appeared. A huge hexagonal prism ‘palace’ at the bottom of the central honeycomb.
