Chapter 639 Exploring the Other End of the Wormhole
Chapter 639 Exploring the Other End of the Wormhole
Without lingering for battle, the group continued flying towards the Liberty's underground city.
A dozen minutes later, above the Liberty City.
The scene was more chaotic than Lin Mo had anticipated.
Demons constantly climbed onto the surface from the entrances to the underground city, ventilation shafts, collapsed tunnels, and even the cracks in the earth torn apart by the nuclear explosion.
The missile strikes from Daxia prevented them from gathering in large numbers, causing them to disperse considerably.
This distribution is too inefficient for missiles.
A single expensive missile might only kill a few dozen low-level monsters, which is far less cost-effective than letting an unmanned army slowly wipe them out.
The Great Xia tactical system has automatically reduced the priority of these scattered monsters, reserving missiles for high-density clusters and high-level targets.
Otherwise, with missiles being so expensive, it would be a huge waste to only kill a few demons.
The current inventory doesn't allow Da Xia to be so extravagant.
"It's right down there."
Lin Mo looked at the four almost overlapping spatial fluctuation sources on the scan image, his eyes turning slightly cold.
Fifteen seventh-tier powerhouses simultaneously released their domains.
A terrifying pressure covered the ground, and the low-level demons that had just emerged instantly lay prostrate on the ground, filled with fear and unease.
The three-headed, seventh-tier dragon was too large to enter the complex underground area.
Lin Mo left them on the surface to keep watch, while also preventing the escaped seventh-tier demon lord from suddenly causing trouble.
Only twelve seventh-rank individuals actually followed Lin Mo down.
After making the arrangements, Lin Mo began chanting a spatial incantation inside the Pangu cockpit.
Soon after, a dark blue portal opened up before everyone.
On the other side of the door lies the interior of the Liberty City underground.
The underground refuge city that once belonged to the Eagle Nation is now completely in ruins.
The steel bars twisted, the dome collapsed, and large areas of buildings were reduced to charred remains by the previous nuclear attack.
Deeper inside, the streets and tunnels were teeming with demons, a dark mass like swarms of insects writhing in rotting flesh.
A seventh-tier holy human mage was the first to step into the portal.
He glanced at it, and his face revealed undisguised disgust.
"A bunch of filthy, disgusting heretics!"
He raised the staff in his hand.
A dazzling holy light burst forth from the gemstone, transforming into a pure white sun that instantly illuminated the entire underground space.
Demons below the fourth rank didn't even have time to scream before their bodies rapidly decayed and evaporated in the holy light, leaving only a sticky, dark substance on the ground.
These dark substances are composed of various rare mineral elements and cannot be purified.
Demons of the fourth rank and above were also suffering, clutching their bodies and retreating frantically, their flesh sizzling as it was burned.
Several sixth-tier demon leaders roared in anger, attempting to organize the demon horde to counterattack.
But just as they burst out of the ruins, Bahrain's warhammer came crashing down.
"I'll smash you scum to death!"
boom!
A sixth-tier commander was smashed into a bloody pulp, armor and all.
Warwick flashed, his beastly claws tearing open the chest of another sixth-tier demon, forcefully extracting its core.
The elven elders also acted simultaneously, using vines and metal spears to block several passages and pinning the demon leader, who was trying to escape, to the wall.
Without a seventh-tier demon lord in charge, these demons couldn't cause any trouble in front of fifteen seventh-tier demons.
Within a minute, the resistance within the dungeon collapsed.
The remaining demons lost all will to attack and began to scatter and flee along the tunnels.
Elder Ed, sensing through the domain, spoke:
"I sensed four strong spatial fluctuations deep underground, which should all be spatial wormholes."
Lin Mo nodded: "That's right, one at a time."
The group followed the collapsed main road downhill and soon arrived at the first spatial wormhole.
It was a dark purple vortex hundreds of meters in diameter, its edges constantly twisting, like a giant eye embedded in reality.
Inside the wormhole, a large number of demons continued to pour out.
Lin Mo frowned slightly as he watched this scene.
If Kog'Maw really escaped back, Lin Mo and the others would surely learn of the arrival of the Demon Clan through their feedback, and know that the Great Xia and Terran allied forces had arrived at the wormhole.
Logically, the strategy should be adjusted, at least temporarily halting the sending of troops to Earth.
But now, these demons are still rushing out as if they haven't received any orders.
Was Kogas so badly injured that he couldn't give orders at all?
Or perhaps... the demon god is really dead?
The thought only flashed through Lin Mo's mind before he forcibly suppressed it.
You can't gamble.
Even if Kogas is on his last breath, Great Xia's plan cannot be built on luck.
"Proceed as planned."
Warwick, Balin, several orcish rank 7 members, and elven elders immediately stepped forward to hold off the demons surging out of the wormhole.
The seventh-tier Holy Human Mage hovered in front of the wormhole, his body already in an elemental state.
He transformed into a pure white light and shadow, with holy light elements gathering in concentric circles around him, preparing to disintegrate this spatial wormhole.
"Wait a minute."
Lin Mo suddenly spoke.
The seventh-tier holy human mage turned around.
"Holy Son, what's wrong?"
Lin Mo said, "I need to gather information about the other side of the wormhole first."
The other party frowned:
"Holy Son, we cannot go there."
"Nobody knows how many demons are on the other side, or even if there might be a demon god stationed there."
He paused, then added:
"Besides, there's not much to collect; the other side is most likely a demon's lair."
Lin Mo shook his head: "You've misunderstood. No need for anyone to go over."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it.
A tracked electromagnetic self-propelled gun suddenly landed on the ruins, its heavy barrel causing the rubble to jolt violently.
"Pangu, take control of the artillery."
[Connection complete.]
The cannon barrel, several meters long, was slowly raised and aimed at the upper part of the wormhole.
[Target locked: Upper half of the wormhole.]
The upper half of the area was chosen to avoid the constantly surging demons and minimize the probability of the probe missiles being intercepted by flesh and blood.
Seeing this, the Holy Human Mage vaguely guessed what Lin Mo was planning to do.
He raised his hand and conjured a ball of holy light, then threw it into the spatial wormhole.
As the sphere of holy light plunged into the dark purple vortex, a series of shrill screams immediately echoed from inside the wormhole, clearly indicating that the demons in the tunnel had been temporarily emptied.
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed.
"fire!"
A low humming sound came from inside the electromagnetic gun vehicle, as the electromagnetic coils were charging, and the air around the gun barrel vibrated violently.
The next second, a modified reconnaissance missile shot into the space wormhole like lightning.
The tail of the shell is connected to a special optical fiber to facilitate the transmission of all collected data.
The data is first transmitted back to the electromagnetic gun vehicle. Since there is no signal underground, it will be transmitted to the Pangu AI via radio.
After Lin Mo and the others returned to the surface, the information was relayed back to the command center for researchers to conduct detailed research and analysis.
Inside the cockpit, the data stream lit up instantly.
[The reconnaissance vehicle has entered the space portal.]
The signal is experiencing strong interference.
[Attempting to upload video...]
Two seconds later, the alarm of Pangu AI suddenly sounded.
[Warning! Reconnaissance device destroyed by unknown life form!]
