Chapter seven hundred and twentieth IX exotic horror
Fortunately, this reconnaissance force has strong logistics and communications support.
The engineering troops of the Red Dragon Army built a large number of communication relay base stations behind them.
They also dispatched a communication airship and risked their lives to break into the thunder and magnetic storm area with lightning staggered above the Kirigakure.
Before these relay stations were destroyed by mudslides and the communication airship was shot down by thunder, the "Piranha" team still maintained intermittent contact with the rear.
The images and data they sent back can give people a glimpse of the true nature of the monster's lair.
"Next, I will play a few scenes sent back by the 'Piranha' team from the Kirigakure Absolute Territory."
Long Feijun said, clicking on several videos above the three-dimensional sand table.
With the interplay of light and shadow from dozens of stereoscopic projectors around the conference room, the Mist God Mountain in the southwest corner of the sand table suddenly magnified infinitely, making people feel as if they were in the depths of the Kirigakure.
There are even waves of thick fog surging out, giving people an immersive and creepy feeling.
However, because the spiritual magnetic environment was too chaotic, the image signals sent back by the "Piranha" team were seriously interfered with. The images were blurred and distorted, and there was a long period of darkness between the readable fragments.
Some pictures turned into black and white, while other pictures were extremely gorgeous, as bright as a dream.
Meng Chao saw that at the beginning of the video, a heavily armed "piranha" team was dropped to the edge of the Kirigakure by means of an armored airship rappelling.
The fog is like a white demon with its teeth and claws snarling, the dark clouds are like a collapsed city in the sky, the thick and dazzling lightning is like tearing the heaven and earth into white wounds, and the heavy rain is not a "downpour", but like a dyke bursting.
Like a flood, it surged out from the void, fueling the mudslides in the valley and making a deafening, continuous roar.
Just by browsing the video, Meng Chao could feel a primitive, brutal, and vast power rushing towards him.
This is a power more terrifying than the doomsday beast.
Even after half a year of training with the "God of War", he was overcome with goosebumps by this power.
The members of the "Piranha" team turned a blind eye.
There were several veterans with faces full of gun smoke and scars. They were also in a joking mood and told each other a few vulgar jokes.
They kept talking and their hands were not idle. They put on the nano battle suits and power armors with ease, took stock of all the combat supplies, and adjusted the combat parameters of the Thinking Chariot and the six-legged rune machine.
More than 20 "Piranha" elite special forces members and more than 50 thinking tanks loaded with guns, ammunition and communication equipment plunged into the fog.
The screen goes black and switches to the second video.
This place is not too far from the edge of Kirigakure, and the spiritual magnetic interference is not too strong. Relying on mobile signal amplifiers and portable relay stations, the pictures they send back are relatively stable and clear.
But the environment deep in the fog is completely different from the outside world.
You know, although the other world and the earth are separated by stars and seas, their ecosystems are not very different.
In addition to being more wild and dangerous, at a glance, it is difficult to tell the difference between the alien jungle and the Amazon rainforest on Earth.
Many scientists suspect that the two planets in another world or on Earth must have been artificially designed by ancient civilizations, otherwise they would never be so similar.
But this is not the case in the Kirigakure Realm.
In addition to the relatively "normal" wilderness jungle, Meng Chao also saw countless strange-shaped plants, or "things" that were not sure whether they were plants through the footage shot from the main perspective of the "Piranha" team.
Some "plants" have no branches or leaves, and are like black telegraph poles piercing the sky.
They grow together in clusters, and each cluster contains about dozens of "telephone poles." If it weren't for the unique texture and material of towering trees, it would be difficult to imagine that this is also a kind of living thing.
There are also some "plants" on the branches that are constantly bifurcating, covered with absolutely precise round fruits, red, deep purple, blue, and green. They are the purest colors that are difficult to extract from various natural environments.
, and the surface is also covered with rune-like lines, and even shows the characteristics of partial crystallization.
It is as if these "plants" can extract the spiritual energy from the underground spiritual veins and directly condense it into something similar to crystal stones in their own bodies.
These are “living” crystal stones!
There are also some "plants" that look like monsters crouching in the jungle, ready to pounce and prey at any time.
When I first saw it, the "Piranha" team was shocked. All the elite special operations team members were prepared to shoot the monster full of holes.
When I looked closer, I realized that it was not a monster at all, but shrubs, vines, mushrooms and moss that naturally grew into monster shapes.
It's really strange that various types of plants are blended together to simulate the characteristics of monsters, even the "eyes" and "minions" are complete and lifelike.
Meng Chao knew that many monsters possess "mimicry" and can imitate the characteristics of plants.
But apart from the memory fragments of his past life, this was the first time he saw a plant that could simulate a monster with his own eyes.
Next, the "Piranha" team also saw many strange and incredible "plants".
This mysterious and foreign land is like an alien planet with a completely different ecological environment from the earth.
Of course, it is.
Perhaps, this is the true face of the alien world.
What the people of Longcheng saw in the past were just "habitable environments" transformed by ancient civilization.
The "Piranha" team was also touched by the strange surrounding environment.
Although there was no enemy attack, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
The screen gradually began to shake, and the team members' heavy breathing and swallowing of saliva could be heard.
Even the most rude and generous veteran just now kept his mouth shut tightly.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the sky, and heavy rain fell on their heads without warning.
Immediately afterwards, everyone fell into darkness.
When the screen was relit, the signal transmission became intermittent due to the greatly enhanced spiritual magnetic interference. The main perspective screen of the "Piranha" team also shook, distorted, and blurred as if falling into a nightmare.
Looking far into the distance, the fog in the valley and the dark clouds on the mountaintop seemed to merge together, turning into a mass of gray chaos.
The strange "plants" that look like alien creatures seem to be awakening from hibernation under the nourishment of heavy rain.
The "Piranha" team struggled forward in heavy rain and jungle.
Even with the struggles of powered armor and thinking chariots, it was still difficult to carve a path through the wild and twisted jungle.
From time to time, the thinking chariot was hit by a large rock that fell off the cliff, and fell deep into the valley, into a large stream that had just been formed due to heavy rains, and the water flow was turbid and fast.
"Hold!"
A clear curse word suddenly appeared in the voiceover, "Look, we've been here before!"
A scout pointed to the trunk of a towering tree ahead.
There were marks on it that they had just chopped with their sabers half an hour ago.
Although the moss quickly covered the mark at a speed that was most visible.
However, the slight dents and the special paint mixed with monster bone powder smeared on the mark were still recognized by the specially trained scouts at a glance.
"It's a space fold area."
The commander said solemnly, "This area is full of tiny gaps in space, like an invisible maze, or the legendary 'ghost hitting the wall'. Coupled with the disturbance of fog and heavy rain, it is easy to get into the space in a disoriented manner.
Gap, back to the old road.
"Don't be surprised if you are surprised, you will be defeated by the strange things. Make a mark, use your spiritual power to increase your five senses to the limit, sense the spatial disturbances around you, and always be able to map out the entire terrain. Then summon train guns and armored airships to blow up this place.
Everything is turned upside down!”
The "Piranha" team is indeed one of the most elite reconnaissance units of the Red Dragon Army.
In the next video, they indeed broke out of the "space fold area" and came to a wilderness between hills.
The thunder and heavy rain seemed to have subsided.
But the mysterious and depressing atmosphere continues unabated.
"Look, what is that!"
One team member exclaimed.
The camera rotates and focuses on the center of the wilderness.
There stood dozens of lonely green giants hundreds of meters tall, with tentacles all over their bodies.
The tentacles of more than a dozen of the giants are still entangled with each other, as if they are performing some weird ritual.
The camera shook violently, and it seemed that even the experienced "Piranha" team was deeply shocked by this visually impactful picture.
When they held their breath and approached cautiously, they discovered the true face of the giant.
They are all UHV transmission towers for people on earth.
As an industrial and military center in the Earth Age, Dragon City is surrounded by a large-scale energy network.
When Dragon City crossed over, a large number of power stations and transmission towers also crossed over.
And because of space collisions and overlaps, the folds spread outward like waves, "throwing" many of Dragon City's satellite towns and ancillary facilities farther away.
These UHV transmission towers have been standing here since more than half a century ago, like huge metal skeletons.
A large number of moss, vines and ivy-like grape plants make these towers and cables the best habitat.
Over the long half century, it has continued to grow, climb, divide, proliferate, and entangle, gradually filling the "skeleton" with "viscera."
Iron towers turned into giants, cables turned into tentacles, and human creations were eroded by other worlds and transformed into new life forms.
Another false alarm.
The members of the "Piranha" team breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, a shocking change occurred.
As if sensing the aura of the intruder, all the green giants became "active".
Filling the iron tower, the visceral vines made a squirming sound of "chick, cheep, cheep, cheep", like the cry of a hungry stomach.
The cables originally scattered around the iron tower, under the control of the ivy, really danced wildly like octopus tentacles, and swam towards the "piranha" team like a python.
