While repairing the vehicle, Han Xiao was also reflecting on the problems he had exposed in the battle.
His current combat mode was mainly sniping, and the best strategy was to kite. However, his movement speed was not fast, so he should create some gadgets to increase his speed.
The power leg was a good choice, but Han Xiao felt that it was too cumbersome. Coincidentally, with his current level and knowledge, he could create a new and more agile gadget.
He felt that he could further improve his combat mode. For example, he could form a robot team to provide firepower support to make up for the weakness of his sniping attack speed.
After all, the Mechanic class was a wholesale manufacturer of equipment, so he could provide whatever he lacked.
After quickly repairing the vehicle, Han Xiao drove Thorns back to the entrance of Felonia following the coordinates marked on the radar. He immediately saw a series of footprints that extended to the edge of the cave and disappeared. After thinking for a while, he knew that the group of wanderers had gone down first.
If it were a normal person, they might be worried that the good stuff inside would be taken away by others. However, Han Xiao felt that it was better this way. There were people helping him to detect the mines.
Standing at the edge of the cave, Han Xiao looked down. The rock walls were clearly layered. At the intersection of the sun and the darkness, he could vaguely see rusty metal extending downwards.
There are traces of man-made excavation on the rock walls. There is a fishy smell in the wind … the smell of rust. I have never seen this place before. Let's go down and take a look.
Han Xiao had brought all his equipment. With the flashlight in his mouth, he climbed down the rock walls and shone the flashlight down from time to time.
As he got further and further away from the ground, the sun gradually disappeared. He realized that the rock walls were curved.
Soon, the sun disappeared, and the surroundings were dark. The only source of light was the flashlight. This gloomy atmosphere made Han Xiao alert. He felt a chill in his heart. He wished that he could slow down his heartbeat so that he could relax.
After climbing for about three minutes, the flashlight finally shone on the ground. It was a hollow metal floor. It was covered in dust, and there were thick spider webs in the gaps. No one had stepped on this floor for a long time.
Han Xiao landed on the ground with a thud. The sound echoed far away. In this pitch-black environment, it was very quiet and creepy.
The surroundings were dark and empty. The flashlight was like an isolated island in a dark sea. Rustling sounds came from the darkness, as if the sound of landing had attracted the attention of some unknown existence.
He scanned his surroundings with the flashlight and found himself in a metal corridor. It seemed to be built in the style of a base. There were reinforced concrete everywhere, and the walls were covered with yellow-green rust oxide. There were strange soft-bodied insects crawling in the rust.
The hollow metal plate on the ground was covered in dust, and a series of new footprints extended forward, presumably from the group of pilgrims who had gone first.
There should still be space below the metal floor.
Han Xiao turned the flashlight to his feet and saw the scene below.
Through the hollow metal plate under his feet, countless densely packed red compound eyes stared at him silently in the darkness!
"F * ck!"
Han Xiao's scalp went numb. He hurriedly retracted the light and listed the lower floor as a forbidden area.
He carefully followed the footprints of the pilgrims. The surroundings were silent, and he could vaguely hear the rustling sounds of creatures crawling. When he listened carefully, they disappeared without a trace. It was very strange, and he could not help but feel nervous.
After walking for a short distance, a fork appeared in front of him. The pilgrims' footprints disappeared at the fork on the right.
Just as he was hesitating, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the fork on the right. It seemed that many people were running in panic and were rapidly approaching.
Han Xiao quickly hid at the fork on the other side. He turned off the flashlight and put on the night vision goggles from Fabian.
"Run, run!"
"Monster!"
The pilgrims ran out of the fork in panic, as if they were running away from some unknown existence. Their clothes were stained with blood, and the number of people had decreased.
"What are they running away from?" Han Xiao was puzzled.
Suddenly, a beast-like roar came from the other side of the fork next door. It was hoarse and heavy, like the sigh of a giant. The echo buzzed. Just hearing this sound made his Qi and blood surge. Disgust rose in his chest and he was secretly frightened.
"This is the pressure of a high-level shapeshifter. It is definitely above level 40!"
The group of pilgrims were terrified. They did not know what terrifying existence they had seen. They used their hands and feet to crawl back in panic.
However, the monster did not seem to have come out. The pilgrims sat down weakly, as if they had just survived a disaster.
The monster did not make any sound of footsteps. Han Xiao remembered this in his heart.
"Joel was eaten by the monster. Boohoo …"
"This place is too scary."
The old pilgrim trembled, and his expression was dejected. It was as if his spirit had been sucked away. He said, "This is not Felonia. There is nothing here that we want. Let's leave this place quickly and find the real relic."
A legendary magic relic should be filled with mystery and ancient aura, engraved with countless mysterious lines that he could not understand, and the main body of the relic should be stone. However, this was just a man-made steel base. He saw the emblem of the country that had passed away on the wall. This was a secret military base of the old country.
The pilgrims were silent. A young man opened his mouth and said, "Maybe this is the real Felonia. The old country found the relic and built a base here in order to research the Treasure of the Desert."
The Treasure of the Desert, the legendary treasure of Felonia, could control the Somar Desert.
The old pilgrim shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Impossible. If the old country had the Treasure of the Desert, it would not have been destroyed."
"This is not the place we are looking for. The real relic of Felonia is still hidden in a corner of the desert!"
The old pilgrim said firmly.
The pilgrims supported each other and left.
After listening to their discussion, Han Xiao finally solved some of his doubts. As far as he knew, there was no magic in the Blue Star. The so-called Treasure of the Desert could only be the result of some technological weapons.
But people always have an inexplicable confidence and unrealistic fantasy about mysterious things that they do not understand. This reminded him of a story. When the flood came, a man prayed to the gods on the roof of his house. God sent a boat to save him, but he only hoped for a miracle.
He did not know why the pilgrims believed that Felonia was related to magic, but it did not seem to have anything to do with him. Or was this a hint for another hidden mission?
After calming himself down, Han Xiao waited until the pilgrims were far away before he showed himself. He was hesitant when facing the fork.
The pilgrims had pointed out that there was a monster on the right, which was very dangerous. However, the left was unknown and could be even more dangerous. How should he choose?
According to my experience, the pilgrims were acting as the guides of the dungeon. They had pointed out that there was a monster on the right. This was an obvious signal, but it could have two meanings. The first was to warn me not to go to the right because there was a monster. The second was to mislead me into going to the left …
Han Xiao gritted his teeth and decided to go to the right. The unknown was scarier than the monster. He still remembered that there were many red eyes on the lower level. If he encountered those things, even if he did not die, he would lose a layer of skin.
He put on the thermal cutting gloves and did not use the flashlight. Instead, he used the night vision goggles and entered the fork on the right. His vision was dark green, and he could barely see the road ahead.
There were huge footprints on the ground that were different from those of a human. They were probably left by the monster. It also had two legs and five toes. According to the height ratio of a human, this monster was about three meters tall.
After walking for a while, a room with an open door appeared in front of him. The monster's footprints extended to the door and stopped abruptly.
Han Xiao quietly approached the door and smelled a stench. It smelled like rotting meat and a hint of fresh blood.
He stuck his head in and looked inside.
A pair of bell-sized eyes were staring at him from a height less than half a meter away!
