Lily's Doggoblast had pierced through the ruins and the mountain. It had shocked everyone, including herself. Lily had never thought that she could cough out a laser cannon. She could not help but recall the first time she roared out the light cannon. At that time, she also scared herself like this. It was exactly the same as today. Today, she scared herself back into coughing...
She even felt that she would be shocked by her own Doggoblast every time in her life.
Compared to the dog maiden who scared herself, the others reacted faster. Vivian immediately descended from the air and looked at the big hole that the laser cannon had blasted. Even she felt that the husky's attack power was ridiculous. Lily, who was invincible in melee combat, had become a super DPS after acquiring the laser cannon. If not for the high consumption of the laser cannon, which meant that Lily could only fire a dozen or so shots, Vivian would have thought that the husky was invincible.
After she was done, she began to examine the remains of the scene to confirm if the sacred flame 'monster' was really dead. The monster's form of existence was so strange that she could not be sure if it was killed by an energy cannon shot.
Becky stared at Lily, whose mouth was still smoking. She had never thought that Lily's strength had improved by leaps and bounds. She still remembered the time when they were fighting with the monsters in the Beinz diocese. The two could only use their swords and claws to rush into the Two-people Spin. It had only been two years, and the husky had become a wine fairy who could spit light waves out of her mouth. Becky thought that Lily had become a wine fairy because she spat out the light waves after drinking. In fact, Becky did not have to belittle herself. In the eyes of the people of Holletta, her strength was like a monster. After all, she was one of the people who freeloaded treasures at Hao Ren's house.
The pungent burnt smell had not dissipated, but the high temperature caused by the laser cannon had been gradually cooled by the cold air around Vivian. Hao Ren's eyes widened as he looked at the place where the Doggoblast had just swept. Suddenly, his eyes twitched.
On the scorched ground left by the beam, a cluster of silver-white flames suddenly sprang up and rose higher and higher!
"Holy f * cking light! It's not dead yet! " Hao Ren suddenly screamed, wondering what kind of monster the mage-emperors had created in this experimental base. At this moment, the flame had risen to nearly the height of a person, and quickly twisted and trembled into a human-like shape. This suddenly caused a commotion among the knights and apprentices.
But the worst did not happen. The Sacred Flame finally condensed into a human shape, but it shook violently and disintegrated into a pile of scattered flames. After repeating this several times, she finally stabilized. But her breath was so weak that it was even weaker than the apprentices at the scene, and the flame was so dim that it seemed to be going out at any time. Hao Ren knew what was going on at a glance. Several heavy blows had finally consumed the monster's energy reserve, and she had lost the ability to fight at this moment.
Hao Ren, Vivian, Becky, Hymer, and Lily, who had just recovered, slowly approached the Sacred Flame incarnation with a highly alert expression. The latter struggled several times but could not even stand up. The flame continued to fade, and finally, it could no longer maintain the state of burning. Under everyone's astonished gaze, the flame suddenly went out. The scattered sparks swirled and condensed into a mercury-like shape. Then the metallic luster of the 'mercury' faded quickly, and finally, it turned into a petite woman — a woman of flesh and blood!
She had long silver-white hair that could almost completely cover her whole body. The phosphorescence on her long hair flickered as if the embers were still burning. Her face was extremely outstanding, slender and soft, and it was impossible to associate her with the 'monster' just now. A pair of slightly pointed ears poked out from under the long hair on both sides. Master Hymer could not help but murmur, "An elf?"
Hao Ren noticed the clothes she was wearing: it was a white dress that could be described as luxurious. Though there were no jewels on the dress, the solid-colored fabric was still exquisite and gorgeous at a glance. The long dress was bound by an emerald green belt, which made the wearer more slender. The material of the belt seemed to be some kind of green jade, which emitted a dense glow.
It did not look like the decoration of a combatant, nor did it look like a imprisoned test subject — or a newborn demon hunter.
No biochemical laboratory would put such gorgeous clothes on the 'samples' in the culture tank.
Vivian apparently also noticed the suspicious points revealed by the dress. She frowned thoughtfully. "… I've never worn such gorgeous clothes in my life."
Well, she did not see it.
"She's completely unconscious." The MDT flew to scan around the female elf's head and came back to report. "Severe mental damage, physical exhaustion, bleeding or dysfunction of multiple organs in the body, and the divine Doggoblast damaged her soul. Other than that, there's no other major problems."
Hao Ren thought to himself, "This problem is not small …"
"Is she an ancient?" Lily leaned forward, her golden eyes full of curiosity. "Is she an experimental subject created by the mage-emperors 10,000 years ago?"
"Doesn't look like it. An experimental subject would not wear this kind of clothes," Hao Ren shook his head, but he still looked happy. "But anyway, she must be from that era. She has been sealed in the ruins of the time standstill for 10,000 years! We have really picked up a treasure this time. She must know a lot of things from 10,000 years ago! "
"The premise is that she can communicate," Vivian said, pouring cold water on the idea. "Don't forget the movement she made just now. I'm afraid this is a 'sample' who is out of control. Nine out of ten, she is crazy."
Hao Ren nodded. "Anyway, let's lock her up first and study her when she wakes up. Oh right, we have to treat her injuries, at least the mental damage and the damage to her soul. Maybe she can communicate after that. "
As he spoke, he took out all kinds of work equipment from his Dimensional Pocket — the kind that would not explode. First, he used a restraint device to tie the unconscious elf tightly, and then threw her to the portable medical equipment for treatment. Seeing that her condition gradually stabilized, and confirming that she could not break free even if she suddenly woke up, Hao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to the "second door."
The mysterious female elf rushed out from that place. If his guess was right, the second door behind should be the reason why the ancient experimental base was urgently closed.
After leaving a few high-ranking knights to look after the "captive," Hao Ren and the others walked toward the door.
After passing through the door, a space full of devastation appeared in front of them.
"… It seems that this is the reason why this place was urgently abandoned," Vivian said in a low voice as she looked at the scene in front of her.
The space behind the second door was unrecognizable. Not only had it suffered severe physical damage, but it had also been baptized by powerful magical energy. The entire space appeared to be in a strange state of "distortion." There were almost no intact furnishings in the near-circular hall. The hall was surrounded by a circle of semi-melted black material, as if it was the product of some kind of crystal that had been melted at high temperature and then solidified. A series of cracks across the hall covered the ground, and there were many large cracks on the scorched ground. Dark blue light floated in those cracks, and from time to time, flashes of light jumped out of those cracks. Above the hall was a distorted dome. The dome was dark, and there were light purple cracks all over it. At the densest point of the cracks, even the space seemed to be distorted and collapsed. Some strange lights and shadows gathered there, and they could vaguely see the scene outside the Gloom Mountains.
Some scorched bodies, or body parts, were scattered around, but because of the serious damage, it was difficult to find any clues. Hao Ren could only roughly guess that they should be laboratory staff, and the cause of death was probably high temperature or the energy storm that caused the high temperature.
"How miserable …" Master Hymer frowned and walked forward slowly. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and even the free magical energy had not dissipated. It seemed that the disaster behind the door had just happened not long ago. After all, time in the ruins had stood still for 10,000 years.
Hao Ren noticed the center of the room, which should be the origin of the disaster. All the radial cracks on the ground and the most serious distortion of the dome above pointed to the center of the room, where the original structure had been severely melted. A pile of strange black material, emitting residual heat, was piled up there. It was vaguely discernible that it used to be the pedestal of some kind of equipment. Around the pedestal, there were some scorched and wrinkled pipes and wires, which extended in all directions, so it was certain that the pedestal was the core of the various experimental equipment in the hall.
Hao Ren guessed that the out-of-control Sacred Flame Incarnation had broken free from this pedestal.
The damage of the hall was so shocking that Hao Ren immediately thought of a question: why the hall outside was intact?
Driven by this question, he immediately looked at the surrounding walls. Sure enough, there was something hidden on the walls.
After wiping away the blackened parts of the wall, it was still solid and intact. The walls were engraved with dense runes, which shone under the light of the MDT.
They were not Letta runes. In fact, they were not any known runes on this planet. Even a knowledgeable great sorcerer like Hymer could not recognize them.
But Hao Ren could recognize them because he had seen the same thing in another place: on the battlefield at the Gate of Solenne, the inner layer of the treacherous children's vehicle was engraved with these divine runes.
