Chapter 151 Guardian Land
Gatling bullets swept through, and under the thick pile of ancient coins on the ground, several silvery-white metal surfaces appeared.
The ancient coins paved the ground, and it was not endless.
In the fourth "cave base", we can see that the area paved with ancient coins is roughly the same as the area directly below the oval passage, slightly more than that.
On the edges of the ancient coins, which extend to the larger underground space on all sides, there are a large number of bones of various sizes and strange shapes, large patches of dried blood, scattered fragments of pottery figurines, and a mess of broken stone men and stone statues.
There are obvious collapsed areas on the west and north sides of the underground space, but the mountain walls block the view and the searchlight cannot reach certain areas, so it is not possible to see it very clearly.
……
After the black and brown giant snake escaped into the underground space, Meng Xingchen and Cattelan quickly completed the construction of the fourth cave base.
Then Cattelan flew upwards and gradually transferred some of the equipment down.
After completing this, Cartlan came to Meng Xingchen and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Meng, those monsters are not coming out. Should we go down and attack actively?"
"No hurry." Meng Xingchen shook his head. "Sooner or later, other monsters will come out to drag away and eat the monster corpses below. Let's take turns to rest and recover. You should practice the guiding technique first, and then restore your mental strength to its peak state."
"Okay." Cattelan nodded.
Meng Xingchen and Cattelan took turns to rest, while Li Kan, Wang Tong and Ling Xiaozhe on the cliff slowly redistributed the equipment to the three cave bases below.
Unnecessary searchlights above should also be turned off less frequently.
Cattelan rested for more than an hour and came over to replace Meng Xingchen.
Meng Xingchen did not go deep into the cave. He sat cross-legged at the edge of the cave and practiced the Tai Chi Xisui Jing.
Just over a minute later, he suddenly opened his eyes again, looked toward the north, and asked Cartlan in a low voice: "Cartlan, when you were practicing the Guiding Technique just now, did you feel that the cosmic energy in the north was a little more concentrated?"
"No." Cattelan stared over there and said with some confusion.
"...Go and bring Xiaozhe down and let her take Xiaohua with her." Meng Xingchen thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Cattelan agreed and immediately flew upwards again.
A moment later, Ling Xiaozhe brought the little flower snake to the fourth cave base at the bottom and met up with Meng Xingchen.
"Brother Meng." After Ling Xiaozhe came down, he immediately handed over the little flower snake in his hand.
At this distance, the little flower snake obviously smelled the breath of the beast general-level monster lurking a few hundred meters below. After leaving Ling Xiaozhe's palm, it immediately shrank into a ball in fear.
This did not happen in Ling Xiaozhe's hands.
Obviously, after Ling Xiaozhe's true spiritual power awakens, his ability to tame animals will definitely be greatly improved.
Meng Xingchen released his spiritual power to calm the frightened little flower snake, and then took it to the edge of the cave again.
About ten minutes later, the small flower snake that was originally coiled up suddenly raised its upper body and moved its tongue toward the north.
"Brother Meng, there are mutant plants over there!" Ling Xiaozhe on the side responded immediately, pointing to the faintly collapsed area in the north and said, "It must be at a high level, Xiaohua can sense it!"
Meng Xingchen did not say anything, but immediately sat down cross-legged and practiced the Tai Chi Xisui Jing again.
Sure enough, the feeling just now appeared again.
However, after about tens of seconds, this sensation disappeared again.
This time, Meng Xingchen practiced the guiding technique completely before opening his eyes and standing up.
"The breath is intermittent..." Meng Xingchen murmured, "What's going on?"
"Uncle Meng, let's go down a little bit and kill them first, then we can directly wipe them out when we land and go look for treasure over there!"
Cattelan said excitedly. "Don't go!" Before Meng Xingchen could speak, Ling Xiaozhe immediately stopped him and said, "Brother Meng, Xiaohua just told me that there are five super-class mutant creatures below! One of them is stronger than the other four, and it is hiding there now!"
After saying this, Ling Xiaozhe pointed his finger at the faintly collapsed area in the north.
"..." Meng Xingchen didn't say anything and looked towards the collapsed area in the north again.
After a brief thought, he said to Cartlan and Ling Xiaozhe, "Let's proceed according to the previous plan. We will consume the beasts first. As long as there are monsters coming out to seize and eat the corpses of the monsters below, we will open fire immediately."
"Okay." Cattelan and Ling Xiaozhe nodded together.
The exact number of beasts below was unknown before, so Meng Xingchen’s plan was to gradually consume them.
Now that we know there are five beast generals, we must be even more cautious.
Based on the monster hunting during this period and the observation of the habits of the small flower snake and the small electric eel, the fastest way for mutant creatures to grow is to devour various mutant plants. The second is to devour the corpses of other mutant creatures.
At this moment, there are about three or four hundred mutant snake and bat corpses scattered below. This is definitely a huge temptation for other living mutant creatures.
Sure enough, just less than an hour later, there was movement in the underground space beyond the southern sight. A red giant scorpion more than one meter long rushed out at a rapid speed and pounced on the mutant bat corpse scattered just below the oval cave passage.
With this mutant giant scorpion leading the way, dozens more rushed out immediately with a loud rumbling sound from behind.
Not only that, as the monsters rushed out from the south, dozens of mutant lizards also rushed out from the east and pounced on some corpses in the south.
"Fire!"
After the group of monsters rushed out of the buffer zone and entered the area with scattered corpses, Meng Xingchen immediately opened fire.
"Suddenly..."
This time, three Gatling Vulcan cannons sprayed flames, pouring a torrent of bullets downwards.
In an instant, more than a hundred mutated giant scorpions and mutated lizards below suffered heavy casualties.
However, these monsters are fearless in order to get food. Even if other companions are dead or injured, the survivors will still drag a mutant creature each, then turn around quickly and flee to the place where they rushed out before.
When the remaining monsters fled back to the underground space, more than a hundred corpses appeared under the oval passage.
"Rumble..."
After dozens of monsters fled back to the underground space, there was another burst of dense and loud noises from the place out of sight.
Obviously, there were still some beasts that had not rushed out yet, picking up the ready-made food. When the surviving monsters returned, they immediately rushed forward to bite and snatch the food.
"Cartlan, go and bring Sister Hong over as well." After stopping the shooting, Meng Xingchen quickly instructed Cartlan, "Let Wang Tong guard the top of the cliff, and Li Kan go to the cave entrance to replace Sister Hong."
"Okay." Cattelan agreed immediately, put down his weapon and flew into the sky.
After Cattelan left, Meng Xingchen turned around and looked at the collapsed area in the north.
Just when those beast soldier-level monsters rushed out to snatch food, he vaguely saw the previous beast general-level giant bat, the black-brown giant snake, and another three or four-meter-long giant scorpion, all flashed vaguely near the collapsed area in the north.
It seemed that they wanted to rush into the collapsed cave, but no one was willing to take the lead.
The situation is clearer now.
In the collapsed area in the north, the strongest mutant creature is hidden. It is also the place that other beast general-level monsters value the most.
Then, besides being part of the crashed "space civilization spaceship", there must be other extraordinary treasures underneath!
