Chapter 731 Tiankeng

This question is indeed full of weirdness.

After thinking deeply for a moment, everyone present felt a sense of horror.

"We at the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau have a theory. In fact, it was proposed by Meng Chao."

Ye Xiaoxing took over the conversation and said, "It has evolved from a 'monster' to a 'monster civilization', and is well aware of Dragon City's social structure and civilization's weaknesses. It can even penetrate into the depths of the nest city and instigate many humans to rebel."

Look, the monster civilization has most likely captured many humans alive, read their memories and thoughts, and used the fire of human civilization to light up the evolution of the monster civilization.

"However, the very small number of humans living in the wilderness cannot reproduce the huge social system and technological level of the earth era, and will inevitably degenerate into savages who eat hair and drink blood, which will not be of much help to monster civilization.

"A satellite town that can be self-sufficient and operate according to the laws of the earth is what the 'mastermind' behind the monster civilization needs most.

"As long as this mastermind is smart enough, after discovering a satellite town of Earthlings, he may not drive a horde of beasts to destroy it.

"Perhaps, finding a way to 'capture' this town and observe and study the society of the earth's people will help the evolution of the monsters and develop highly targeted tactics that can destroy the entire human civilization in one fell swoop."

The Young Officers pondered for a moment, and all showed expressions of sudden realization.

All their eyes turned to Meng Chao.

Meng Chao coughed dryly and said, "This is inspired by the practices of our Agricultural University.

"Many departments at Agricultural University will not simply and brutally kill monsters when they encounter them, but will find ways to trap and modulate them so that the monster's power can be used for my own benefit.

"If you encounter a large-scale monster nest in the wilderness, unless the situation is particularly critical and poses a great obstacle to the colonization of Longcheng people, you will not destroy it immediately. Instead, you will observe silently, study the monster group system, and invest in

Various interference factors, observe the reaction of monsters, and develop new and more targeted tactics.

"I think that this is how human civilization treats monsters, and it is very likely that monster civilization will treat humans this way.

"If there hadn't been a complete human town for monster civilization to study, they would never have been able to master human language, mentality, customs and even conflicts of interests so proficiently, and accurately attack the weakest link of Dragon City.

"So, it is not surprising at all that a Dragon City satellite town that traveled through more than half a century ago appears near the ultimate lair of monster civilization."

"That's right."

Long Feijun nodded approvingly and said, "After comprehensive research and judgment, the Red Dragon Army and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau both support this conclusion.

"The monster civilization captured and kept an entire human town in captivity, so that it could evolve from the ignorant beasts into a 'civilization' that can compete with us, and be fully aware of the situation of the people on earth.

"On the other hand, if there really is an intact human town in such a weird and unpredictable place, this also proves that it must be the ultimate lair of monster civilization.

"Because, without the protection of monster civilization, it is impossible for human towns to survive for a day in the Kirigakure."

Everyone's minds were spinning, and they immediately understood and agreed with Long Feijun's train of thought.

The Kirigakure Realm is no ordinary wilderness and jungle.

It is the scariest place in the entire Monster Mountain Range.

It is ten times more terrifying than the "Broken Star Lake Area, Tombstone Forest, and Raging Waves Mountains" where Meng Chao once fought fiercely.

After all, the size of a satellite city is too small.

Even the largest satellite city outside the main urban area of ​​Dragon City only has a permanent population of several hundred thousand before crossing.

There are hundreds of thousands of people. After the chaos and disaster in the early stages of time travel, coupled with the lack of supplies and virus attacks, it would be good to have 30,000 to 50,000 people survive.

Thirty to fifty thousand people, relying on their own strength, have survived for more than half a century in a place like the Kirigakure, where the entire "Piranha" team can be annihilated, without being affected by the strange environment at all?

How can it be!

"Now that it is confirmed that the Kirigakure is the ultimate lair of monster civilization, and a human town is imprisoned here, even if two reconnaissance teams are lost in a row, new reconnaissance forces must be invested."

Long Feijun said, "We can neither allow the mastermind behind the monster civilization to lurk deep in the mist behind Dragon City, nor can we watch the compatriots in a town being controlled and ravaged by monsters without doing anything.

"So, the Red Dragon Army, the Investigation Bureau, and the Transcendent Tower shared intelligence and dispatched three more elite reconnaissance teams in one go."

Meng Chao nodded.

Regardless of the "Nine Groups" led by Lu Siya or the senior hunters of the Hunter Association, their combat experience is not inferior to that of the "Piranha" team, and there are even more powerful beings in their realm.

.

"Although the 'Piranha' team was very likely to be wiped out, they performed their duties perfectly, explored a large number of topography and landforms in the Kirigakure, and analyzed samples of underground mineral veins, leaving a large number of radioactive beacons to inform the public.

Crucial data has been released from the outside world."

Long Feijun continued, "Based on the data sent back by the 'Piranha' team, we drew a map of some areas in the Kirigakure, and loaded the train cannon with 'weather interference bombs' to bombard the crystal mineral veins.

On the top of the mountain, the chain reaction caused by the magnetic field oscillation temporarily changed the local microclimate, calmed down the thunder, heavy rain, floods and mudslides, and gained a short window period.

"Three new reconnaissance teams set off immediately, following the footsteps of the 'Piranha' team, and successfully reached the depths of the Kirigakure. They took clearer photos and mapped more detailed data - these data will provide

We will provide great support for our next strategy.”

Long Feijun pointed at the three-dimensional sand table.

Light and shadow change, and new photos and videos appear.

It can be clearly seen that all members of the "Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, Ninth Special Investigation Team", including Lu Siya, are standing in front of a purple bush that grows wildly and curls up in a spiral shape.

They carried ten times more automated war machines powered by crystals and controlled by runes than the "Piranha" team.

The spiritual flames released around the body were also more intense than those of the "Piranha" team.

Many of the survey team members who were exploring ahead had their feet three feet off the ground and floated in the air to prevent them from falling into a swamp or being bitten by snakes, insects, rats, and ants dormant in the grass, showing their powerful ability to break through the heavens.

With the beacon that the "Piranha" team condensed with their lives, they passed the "space fold area" without any danger.

He also avoided the "green giant" that turned into a power transmission tower due to vines, and the most dangerous existence in the Kirigakure Realm.

Just took some photos from a distance.

They also found the scene where the "Piranha" commander blew himself up.

There are no traces of human activity here.

There are colorful vines, branches, shrubs and moss everywhere, like a garden that is too bright to be true.

But investigators such as Lu Siya collected some incredible things here.

Those are cells extracted from the mucus scraped from the vines.

From the observation of the spar microscope that Lu Siya carried with her, it can be clearly seen that these cells have huge vacuoles and a large number of chloroplasts.

These are all typical characteristics of plant cells.

But it does not have the cell wall that plant cells should have.

Instead, it is covered with a layer of elastic, translucent cell membrane made of phospholipids.

There is also a fairly active centrosome.

Although centrosomes may also exist in lower plants.

But this strange vine that swims slowly like a python, and even automatically erects large thorns and spikes after encountering humans, and makes a "hissing" scream, does not belong to the category of "lower" plants.

.

Its cells have the characteristics of both animal and plant cells.

And the entire Kirigakure Territory is filled with such weird creatures.

Perhaps, such cells can explain the reason why these mosses, branches and vines that look like plants are more crazy than monsters.

However, these cells are not the focus of Lu Siya's research for the time being.

After a period of trekking, the nine groups arrived at the last coordinates of the "Piranha" team before losing contact.

That's right in front of the large crater that was suspected to have been struck by a meteorite.

In subsequent conversations on the communication channel, the nine groups of investigators all called the large pit "Sinkhole."

Under the cross-photography of the holographic camera, this big pit is indeed as huge as a "tiankeng", deep, magnificent, mysterious and unpredictable.

It is located at the foot of the misty Wushen Mountain, itself covered by a swirling sea of ​​clouds, so that when nine groups of investigators came to the front of the sinkhole, they thought they had arrived at the shore of a white ocean.

It was only the absolutely precise arc-shaped coast of this "white ocean" and the signposts left by the "Piranha" team that aroused Lu Siya's vigilance and did not set foot in it easily.

The sea of ​​clouds covering the tiankeng is like the breath breathed by a huge primitive beast, expanding and contracting very regularly, becoming stronger and thinner repeatedly.

When it expands and thins to its limit, a drop of several hundred meters can be seen.

The surrounding concave rock walls also present absolutely precise and smooth arcs.

Some rock walls have a silvery metallic sheen, or a colorful glass texture.

It was as if it had been burned by extremely high temperatures, causing all the rock layers and crystals to melt and then solidify again.

More rock walls are covered with moss, vines and branches.

The "plants" here grow more lush and crazily than outside the sinkhole.

Two vines hundreds of meters apart may cross each other in the air and become entangled with each other, as if they have built criss-crossing overpasses in the sinkhole.

These "overpasses" form the skeleton, and a large amount of moss, branches and smaller vines continue to climb up, filling the skeleton into spherical "aerial jungles" that grow wildly in all directions.
