The cannon continued to fire out a blazing storm of bullets. Occasionally, two miniature missiles and bullets would be shot out from under the arachnid chassis. A small ion cannon even rose from the hunter's shoulder. From time to time, an ion beam would shoot out, creating a violent explosion in the corridor. The hunter could be said to have gone all out, pouring all of his strength into the invading aliens without holding back.
Allen couldn't help but rejoice that he hadn't run into the mechanical guard in the power room at that time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to take it down unscathed. However, with such a powerful mechanical guard, the imperial guard responsible for protecting the Empress was able to fight against five enemies at once. One could imagine how powerful it was.
The power of the mechanical guard was extraordinary, but there was only one in the end. Even if he used all his firepower, he wouldn't be able to stop so many aliens. Edward shouted, "Allen, lend me your fire."
Allen immediately activated his Origin Energy and Floating Life Engraving. Qianjun pointed and spat out a fire dragon at Edward. Edward clasped his hands together, and the air between his palms swirled, forming a whirlwind in an instant. The whirlwind was suppressed by his palms, and it did not overflow out of his palms. As soon as Allen's fire dragon arrived, the wind and fire merged, forming a blazing ball of fiery wind. Edward's eyes turned cold as he pushed his palms forward.
The unrestrained Brahma Wind continued to grow, eventually enveloping the entire passageway. The wind helped the fire, and Huo Changfeng helped the wind. With the combination of their abilities, wherever the fiery wind passed, the alien larvae were ignited one after another, turning into fireballs in the passageway.
Many of the faceless people born from the union of the Empress and the imperial guards were burned to the point that their shells were red and cracked. Most of them hugged together and turned around in the fiery wind like a disc. They whistled through the hunter's firepower blockade, bounced into the air, stretched their hands and feet, and pounced towards Allen and the others.
While they were still in midair, a few crisscrossed black lines suddenly flashed past, but they were Belmore's chain blades. The chain blades wrapped around a faceless person, and Belmore pulled them to both sides. When the faceless person was torn apart in the air, it turned into a rain of blood that fell.
The other faceless ones were bounced away by a sword light that crossed the sky. His body was in midair, but a thin crack appeared on his waist. In the blink of an eye, the cracks widened, and eventually, these Faceless Ones were cut in two. At the end of the sword light was Regis, who was holding a longsword and chopping iron.
With the momentum of wind and thunder, most of the Alien larvae were killed, as well as the Faceless One who acted as the vanguard. However, under the bombardment of the hunters, there were many shadows in the depths of the corridor. Allen slashed out with a Flame Breath Flash to seal off the path and shouted for everyone to retreat. Although Lucy was unwilling to give up the opportunity to use the communication system to contact Earth, there was nothing she could do. If they didn't leave and allowed the aberrations to enter the control center, everything would be over.
Right now, she could only pray that these aberrations wouldn't destroy the control center. That way, she would still have a chance in the future. Fortunately, the aberrations weren't interested in the ice-cold machines. Except for the hunters who were eventually torn apart by the aberrations behind them, they didn't even look at the control center. They passed through the door and continued to chase after Allen and the others.
The team ran desperately in the base. This time, there was no hunter to guide them, but Lucy had already memorized the plan of the base, so she didn't have to run around like a headless fly. Lucy pointed the way, and the team headed for the weapons warehouse. That was a sealed space. Whether it was to take out weapons to increase firepower or to isolate the pursuit of the aberrations, it was of great use.
However, these aberrations seemed to have a huge will controlling their actions, causing them to not only act in unison, but also know how to divide and intercept. Gradually, Allen and the others were forced to leave their original route and advance toward the depths of the base.
After rushing around a corner, there were aberrations chasing after them. Faceless not only ran on the ground, they can also move freely on the wall, like a flexible gecko. Allen, who was in charge of the rear, turned around and slashed with a flame breath, cutting off the two Faceless Ones that were chasing after him. However, this only stirred up a few insignificant waves in the black tide. The aberrations seemed to have come out in full force. The number was so large that it could make people crazy.
As the team continued to move forward, a lot of aberrations suddenly rushed out from the corner in front of them, suddenly forming a pincer attack. Lucy shouted, "Run forward, there is a safe passage in front of us!"
There was nothing more unlucky than being intercepted by the aberrations. Fortunately, they haven't reached the end of the road. Fortunately, Lucy was able to memorize the terrain of the base in a short time, otherwise, their fate could be imagined. Knocking open the door of the safe passage, Lucy first looked up. The stairs leading to the upper base were blocked by falling rocks, and only the passage down was blowing cold wind.
Therefore, they had no choice but to run down the stairs. At this time, Allen looked back and saw that the aberrations had come to the edge of the passage door, but the door was like an invisible boundary. The aberrations didn't dare to cross the boundary and just stayed and watched. However, the door was crowded with the figures of the Faceless, which dispelled Allen's idea of forcibly breaking through.
That was no different from suicide.
This chase made everyone gasp for breath. Fortunately, the aberrations didn't catch up, giving them time to rest. The team rested in the passage. Allen sneaked up to take a look, but the aberrations didn't leave, so he had no choice but to come back.
"It's like driving us to hell," Allen said.
He said it casually, but Lucy nodded. "I'm afraid it's true."
"Could it be …"
He and the girl blurted out at the same time, "Empress!"
Allen smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid it's true. Not only is the Empress not dead, but she's also quite active."
The others were confused. Only Edward could understand what they meant. The Maritan youth closed his eyes and said, "You should have sensed it just now. The actions of the Alien Weapons are too consistent. It's like an army. Since there is an army, there is a commander. Who is more suitable than the Empress to play this role? Moreover, in the chase just now, the Alien Weapons had at least three to five opportunities to intercept us. "
"But they didn't make a move. They just drove us here."
"In the end, they stayed up there and came down. Why? Because it's probably the Empress' territory down there, right? "
Everyone's hearts sank when they heard this. Lucy frowned and said, "Why did the Empress force us over? If it's just to kill us, it can order the Alien Weapons to do it. "
"I'm afraid you can only ask that big reptile this question." Allen shook Qianjun and said, "Let's go. Since the Empress wants to see us. Let's just kill our way over. "
"Move without a plan." Edward shook his head.
Allen made a "please" gesture, "Then do you have any way to leave from above?"
Edward opened his eyes and said indifferently, "If those adventurers were here, perhaps I would have a way. But now, I can only accompany you for a while. "
"Sometimes, it's not impossible to break through the situation with force. I just don't know if our strength is enough … "
"Even if it's not enough, you have to fight once, unless you want to die here." Allen patted Edward's shoulder and walked forward with his saber.
Everyone looked at each other. Naturally, no one planned to stay, so they followed behind Allen and left. The lower stairs of the passageway had already broken halfway through, and below them was a slope made of rubble. Allen waved Qianjun, and the heavy saber was wrapped in flames as a torch. Looking down, wherever the firelight reached, there were only undulating mounds of earth. Mud, metal, and parts were piled together, forming a rugged ground.
Allen jumped down first, and the others followed closely behind. They walked down the slope and finally reached the ground. In front of them was an empty, deep, and pitch-black space. If it weren't for the fact that they could see piles of rocks under the light of the fire, they would have suspected that they had arrived in an empty space.
He didn't know how big this underground space was, and Allen didn't know where to go for a moment. At this time, the sound of stones rolling suddenly sounded in the darkness. Then, at the edge of the fire, two figures flashed out from behind a low slope. Allen and the others thought that they had bumped into the Faceless again, but a familiar voice came from the opposite side, "Is it Mr. Allen?"
"Mr. Garner?"
A moment later, Garner walked over with Red Leaf. The two of them were in a sorry state, especially Red Leaf. Her aura was weak and her face was like golden paper. It looked like he was relying on his will alone, but his body was about to collapse.
"Why are you here?" Garner asked.
Allen said helplessly, "We were chased down. It's really hard to say."
Hearing this, Garner described the appearance of the Faceless and the other Aliens. Allen nodded. Garner smiled bitterly and said, "Looks like our encounters are much the same."
Only then did Allen realize that there were only two people left in Garner. He frowned and said, "Your companions …"
"They've already been eaten." Garner said hatefully.
From Garner's description, not only had they bumped into the Faceless, they had also bumped into the guards. From the looks of it, their luck was indeed bad. Garner sighed, "After we left that hall, we thought we would be safe. Just as he was about to find another way out, he unexpectedly encountered those woman-like monsters. I could only take Red Leaf and run for my life. I ran here. "
"Mr. Allen, I don't know if you have a feeling. Those monsters don't seem to intend to kill us, but just force us here. "
Allen nodded. At this point, he didn't want to hide it from him. "We suspect that the Empress told them to do so," he said.
"Empress?"
"That's the source of these monsters' bloodline, their creator. I thought the monster was still asleep, but judging from the current signs, the Empress should have woken up. "
Garner said in a deep voice, "Did you know what was going to happen here from the beginning?"
"I only know a little more than you do. Everything else was discovered after entering this place." Allen shook his head and said, "You should have accepted my suggestion at that time."
"Unfortunately, there's no way to go back on your word now." Garner smiled bitterly and said, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know about this ruin?"
"About this, now …"
At this moment, a few muffled roars suddenly sounded from the dark underground. Then, the ground trembled slightly, and something approached them!
