Because Han Dong, the big boss, directly used the [Coral] as a condition for the transaction.
The expedition team also decided to help the boss find the medical equipment he wanted first, and then carry out their own "hunting operation." After all, the value of the [Coral] itself was actually higher than the corresponding reward for their own mission.
They had to ensure that the boss returned safely before they could exchange for the [Coral] in the deep sea.
Three transport vehicles were parked in a hidden area on the side of the cave.
The seven expedition team members and Han Dong were already standing in front of the cave with the broken stone door.
Cough, cough, cough …
A burst of coughing sounded in the team.
Almost all the expedition team members had such symptoms, but the frequency was very low.
Under the examination of the team's doctor, there was no problem with everyone's body.
Although some people suspected that it was the "injured" Eugene.
But from the moment they boarded the ship to the moment they got off the transport vehicle, the only team member who had contact with Eugene was Gunter Deep Cliff.
The doctor in the expedition team thought that it might be the changes in the magnetic field of the mountain of flesh that stimulated everyone's brain nerves and caused the cough. It might also be related to their recent frequent trips to the South Pole.
The cumbersome equipment on the expedition team was all removed.
Including helmets that could catch "possessed monsters" and thick coats that were used to keep out the cold and resist possession.
According to them, the main body of the mountain of flesh could effectively isolate "possessed monsters." At most, only possessed Mantis Demons wandered inside. The next activities in the mountain required the most [Agility].
Many times, reaction and escape were needed to ensure survival.
This lost kingdom hid unimaginable dangers.
"The Ancients were the highest level of scientific research in ancient times. In order to ensure the confidentiality of the research results, they set up all kinds of unexpected [Traps] inside the mountain of flesh.
Although most of the traps have failed due to the invasion of the cataclysm and the decline of the Ancients, there are still some traps that rely on the mountain of flesh that can operate normally.
However, the most dangerous thing is not the traps.
It is the "creations" left behind by the Ancients.
The designers of the [Black Mountain of Flesh] were this group of Ancients, but the workers responsible for the construction were not them.
Their bodies were not strong, and it was difficult for them to even lift large stones.
All the work related to physical strength was left to the creations created by the Ancients.
Even now, there are still quite a number of Ancient Mantis Demons created by the Ancient Ones wandering around the Mountain of Flesh. The most dangerous one is the Evil Losers, the Shugas Clan. "
At this point, Han Dong immediately held back and almost turned his head to look at Eugenice beside him.
Gunter Sandcrag continued speaking.
"I have to make one thing clear.
Once we meet Shugas, we only have one goal — escape.
The Shugas were the strongest individuals created by the Ancients, and some of them could even break free from the Ancients' shackles on the level of consciousness.
Since they were the embodiment of evil, there was no room for negotiation.
However, because of the strength of Shugas himself, the inheritance of a portion of the ancient knowledge system, and a sense of slavery rooted in the depths of his soul.
These evil losers were also slowly accepted by the Hybrid Demon Circle. Some of them successfully left the South Pole and moved around the world, serving different old kings.
Generally speaking, we couldn't deal with Shugas.
If we encounter other types of creations, we can consider killing them … I hope that the emissary can cooperate with us in suppressing them. We must suppress and eliminate the creations as quietly as possible. "
"No problem."
Han Dong's emotions were still somewhat complicated.
After all, when Gunter mentioned Shugas, there was a clear flash of fear in his eyes. It was as if they had once had a terrifying encounter with Shugas.
However …
The most terrifying monster, which could even be considered a member of the Shugas Clan, was among them.
…
Ta!
The moment he stepped into the cave, the cold wind howling in his ears abruptly stopped, and in exchange, there was only the crisp sound of his feet stepping on the stone floor … A single step separated him from the rest of the world in an absolute sense, giving him the feeling that he had stepped into a different world.
The white snowy scenery was instantly replaced by a black cave.
"Light source prohibited."
Explorers who entered the Mountain of Flesh had to have night vision.
Once they used light sources, not only would they activate a portion of the traps, but they would also be sensed by some Ancient Mantis Demons who were absolutely afraid of light due to the photon radiation.
Even though thousands of years had passed, the stone slabs in the cave were in a brand new state. They were even glowing.
The walls on both sides also looked very strange.
In addition to the geometric protruding rocks, there were also various kinds of Mantis Demon skulls embedded in the walls.
Han Dong used his little magic eye to see through the rocks and found that the rocks were slightly moving. To be more precise, the molecules that made up the rocks were being mobilized by some kind of seal and were operating in an orderly manner.
"Is this mountain of meat being automatically managed internally?"
"You have good eyesight. The [Adaptive Transformation] that the Mountain of Flesh has is one of the techniques of the Ancient Ones.
The Mountain of Flesh will regularly clean up the debris in the tunnel and devour all the living creatures that died here. Then through a complicated processing process, it will display the characteristics of the goods in the tunnel to serve as a warning.
It is this kind of adaptive technology that allows the Mountain of Flesh to exist forever. "
"Interesting …"
Under the guidance of the experienced explorers, they did not trigger any traps along the way.
They smoothly went nearly a kilometer deep. It was even 'smoother' than when they came here before.
A fork in the road appeared in front of them.
The leader of the Mantis Demon was called Jin. He was a Perception Mantis Demon whose brain floated above a skull. His head was full of tentacles, and he was also the guide of the team.
"When encountering a fork in the road, choose the right one. We have made sure that we are moving in the outer circle … Cough, cough!"
Jin couldn't help coughing for a moment.
Although his voice was suppressed to the lowest level.
Han Dong's magic eye found that a wisp of nano-sized green particles was coughed out at the same time and quickly floated to the depths of the right tunnel.
In less than ten seconds.
As a Perception Mantis Demon, Jin's pupils contracted extremely, and the tentacles on the surface of his brain were completely tense.
"Shugus! Shugus is coming from the right tunnel … Let's withdraw from the Mountain of Flesh first! "
Just as everyone was about to withdraw from the original path, Jin felt something again … There was the same Shugus feeling in the original path.
This kind of feeling scared Jin so much that a lot of brain secretion flowed out. "How is it possible! How can we encounter two Shugus at once? Shouldn't these guys be moving in the inner circle? "
The right tunnel that was supposed to go forward was blocked, and the way back was also blocked.
Only the left tunnel that led to the depths of the Mountain of Flesh was left.
The explorers who had encountered Shugus before were absolutely unwilling to confront this kind of monster head-on … Not to mention that there were two of them now.
They had no choice but to run toward the left tunnel with all their might.
However, Shugus, who was chasing behind them, had no intention of giving up at all. Their huge bodies filled the tunnel. The Mountain of Flesh was their home, and they moved the fastest here.
Han Dong, who was carrying the 'injured Eugene' on his back and escaping with the explorers, glanced behind him curiously.
The spacious tunnel was filled with a kind of dark green gelatinous monster. The eyeballs on its body were constantly dissolving and reconstructing themselves. The ends of its tentacles also grew sharp mouths with green saliva flowing out.
Shugus seemed to be chasing its prey, but also seemed to be frantically searching for their 'idol.'
