mysterious forerunner

Chapter 407 Cablivos

The young Fostervan rolled his eyes and comforted Akolazvan, saying, "Don't worry, sir. That villain Geminradeye dare not kill you. You are our only lawgiver.

Besides, the Savior will come back sooner or later, and Geminda's conspiracy will fail sooner or later!"

Akolazvan felt ashamed and regretful. After thinking about it, he did not hit the young man in front of him.

If even you can think of it, how could the wily Geminrader not think of it?

If he dares to do this, he must have a way to deal with it.

Akolazwan sighed secretly. We never expected that all our hopes would ultimately rest on an alien.

Akorazvan couldn't help but think of the ancient myths and legends of the Ognyan people, those saints who had received divine revelation.

At this moment, Your Excellency the Savior really is like a saint sent from the unknown to save us.

Akolaz was well-read, so he knew these ancient legends.

In fact, before the destruction of the Ognea world, ordinary people didn't even know that we had legends.

This group respected science too much, and myths and legends had no audience. They gradually became the subject of study for scholars, and ordinary people did not read myths at all.

In the settlement, Geminda did not move into Akolazwan's residence, even though that residence represented the highest authority in the entire settlement.

The reason announced by Geminrada for this coup was: Mr. Akolazvan and Captain Gulzasuri were deceived by foreigners, destroyed our system, and embarked on a wrong path.

We just want to help the Ognyans get back on the right track.

I, Geminrad, also have no intention of replacing His Excellency Akolazvan.

We are trying to persuade His Excellency Akolazwan to turn back from his wrong path.

This argument did appease a large part of Akorazwan's supporters, and they were no longer anxious when facing the coup.

In Geminredaye's room, he was celebrating with several of his confidants: "What's so good about Akolazwan's doghouse?"

Akolazwan is a self-disciplined leader, and his house is only slightly more spacious than others.

And Gminda's house looks ordinary from the outside, no different from those of ordinary Ognians in the settlement.

But if you walk further in and pass through a secret door, you will find a completely different world.

The expanded area is 300 square meters and is luxuriously decorated, with all kinds of enjoyment facilities before the destruction of civilization.

The settlement was originally an underground base. The entire base was a whole with special armor and exterior walls.

There is special paint on the exterior walls to avoid the sniffing of monsters.

The entire base is designed to be very compact, and the space is utilized to the maximum extent.

These places opened up by Ge Ming Radar were naturally dug outside the base.

He secretly used his power to rearrange the armor and outer walls of the space he had expanded.

This is an expensive expense for the current settlement.

The coup was successful, and some of Akolazwan’s diehards in the settlement were killed, while others were thrown into prison.

After a night of partying with his confidants, Ge Mingleida, who had enjoyed the sweet taste of various rights, threw himself into his new work with full enthusiasm early the next morning.

Four of his trusted men sat beside him: "First topic for today."

"Is the bait ready?"

"It has been prepared for a long time."

"Has the candidate been decided?"

"Our first choice was Fosterwan, but this guy was too ignorant of the current situation. No matter how we tortured him, he just refused to agree."

Geminradar was also dissatisfied and said: "Idiots! What did I teach you? To deal with such a tough guy, you have to use a soft knife, use his family, his friends, and even Akolazwan's life and death to coerce him - forget it, is there any other candidate?"

"Yes, we found Yevgeni. He was a member of the combat team that Zhang Qingxiang initially rescued. He was once loyal to Gulzasuri, and Zhang Qingxiang should know him.

We promised him the new captaincy and he accepted it."

"Okay," Geminda nodded. "Then the first topic has been approved. Now we move on to the second topic, which is finding a new law-giver."

Another confidant stood up and said, “This matter is going smoothly. We have maintained good relations with the law-abiding practitioners from several other settlements before. Some of them are very dissatisfied with the rulers of the settlements.

We managed to contact them last night, and two of them are very interested in joining our colony.”

"Keep following up." Geminda also said, "It's better to pull both magicians over."

"I understand. I will try my best."

There is only one law-abiding person, and that law-abiding person is the emperor emeritus of Geminradaya. If there are two of them, Geminradaya is still the emperor of the settlement.

"Okay, all the topics for today are over." Geminda also ended today's meeting. On the way out, he called the subordinate in charge of the first topic over and gave him some instructions. Finally, he sighed and said, "This plan is still not sophisticated enough. The savior is a ruthless guy. Such people are often cautious and careful. Tell Yevgeni to act more realistically and don't be nervous."

"I understand, please don't worry."

Ge Mingleida also sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that we haven't established a firm foothold yet and the consequences of forcibly relocating the settlement would be disastrous... I would definitely move everyone to the backup settlement, lure that thing here directly, and hide it in this settlement, and it would be absolutely safe."

His subordinates consoled him: "Nothing can be perfect. Our plan is very thorough. As long as Yevgeny does a good job, we will be flawless."

……

[Steam Engine Core] is very fast, rushing across the sky.

A group of "Insect Species Heteromorph Moths" were hunting a giant fish monster on the ground. Suddenly, the [Steam Engine Core] flew over from overhead. The Insect Species Heteromorph Moths were frightened and poison powder flew all over their bodies. They rushed madly into any gaps around them to hide.

[Steam Engine Core] flew over with great arrogance. Just now, it was promoted to the second level of [Command Realm].

At this time, it flew so fast that it didn't recognize any relatives.

The speed increased, and in another half an hour, they appeared near the settlement of Gulzasuri.

“Let’s go to the sentry post,” Gulzasuri suggested. “The only way to enter the settlement is through the secret passage behind the sentry post.”

Zhang Qingxiang had no objection and took the [Steam Engine Core] - but he secretly discussed with his owner: With your current status, you can't do everything yourself.

This Ognean is so weak, he is just a piece of trash.

You have no followers in this world, so let me pretend to be your follower.

If some small fry dare to offend you, I can turn them into minced meat in no time.

Zhang Qingxiang knew that this guy had become more and more servile recently, but its attentiveness this time was obviously because it had played too much outside recently and didn't want to go back.

Moreover, that core has not been completely digested yet. The more battles there are, the faster the [steam engine core] will be digested.

Zhang Qingxiang gave the [Steam Engine Core] an indication of approval in his mind, and the [Steam Engine Core] turned into a steam robot with a hissing sound.

The same size as a normal Ognean.

Gulzasuri didn't dare say anything.

The Ognean civilization had many service robots back then. Of course, these "service robots" could be transformed into "combat robots" at any time when needed.

When Mystique first invaded, the Ognians sent out a legion of robots to fight Mystique.

The result was that after a few big wins, they encountered some strange radio waves, and then the entire legion rebelled...

Later, the Ognians stopped all robot production lines.

Nowadays, robots are almost nowhere to be seen in the settlements.

Gulzasuri came to a position in front of the sentry post - this was the position agreed upon by the insiders. Standing here would allow the guards in the sentry post to see him clearly and avoid accidental injuries.

Gulzasuri waved his arm in Gao Shang's direction, indicating that it was me, and asked him to open the door.

But there was no response from the outpost, and Gulzasuli became nervous.

On the way, the Savior said that Geminradar would definitely launch a coup!

Fortunately, after waiting for a while, the secret door of the outpost opened.

Gulzasuri walked to the secret door first.

Zhang Qingxiang and [Steam Engine Core] followed leisurely behind.

When he walked to the secret door and looked inside, Gulzasuli felt something was wrong again.

No one came to greet him, and the secret passage was dark and gloomy.

Gulzasuli is the combat captain of the settlement, and the soldiers on duty in the outpost are all his subordinates.

Under normal circumstances, at least one of the two sentinels will take the initiative to come forward to greet him.

Gulzasuli gave Zhang Qingxiang an anxious look, which implied a request for help.

Zhang Qingxiang nodded slightly, and Gulzasuli secretly steadied his breathing. In fact, his whole body was ready for battle.

Then he walked into the secret passage.

After walking fifty meters, you will arrive at the sentry post.

There were still two sentries, but Gulzasuli frowned and asked, "Why you? According to the schedule, it should be Yevgeni and Neulanga today."

These two are from Geminradeye.

"Mr. Akorazwan has modified the schedule. So, do you still want to question Mr. Akorazwan's decision?" The other party answered bluntly.

Gulzasuli frowned, ignored the two sentinels, and walked towards the settlement through the secret passage at the back.

One of the two sentinels hurriedly followed: "I'll take you back."

"No need." Gulzasuri ordered: "You stay here and continue to be on guard."

The sentry took a few steps ahead and ran in front of them. "After you left, His Excellency Akora Zwan changed the security system. There are several identity verification checkpoints in the secret passage. You don't know where they are, so you may get hurt by mistake."

Gulzasuri was in the shadows, frowning.

He was almost certain that a coup had taken place in the settlement just as the Savior had expected!

Gulzasuri was in a state of confusion. Although his beloved Akolazwan was probably still alive, there were still several of his relatives and...the girl he loved in the settlement. He didn't know if they...

Gulzasuri didn't dare to think about it. He could only follow the sentry calmly and said, "Then you lead the way."

The secret passage behind the outpost leading to the settlement is five kilometers long. After walking more than 500 meters, they encountered the first inspection checkpoint. The sentry introduced himself and the guard at the checkpoint stuck his head out to look at Gulzasuli and Zhang Qingxiang behind him.

Gulzasuli cursed inwardly, it was another of Geminradeye’s lackey!

After passing this checkpoint, we walked another kilometer or so, and the sentry said, "After passing the fork in the road ahead, there is the second checkpoint a few hundred meters away."

There are secret passages extending in all directions around the settlement.

The Ogneans moved around the settlement mostly through secret passages.

As the sentry was speaking, he walked past the fork in the road. Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the darkness of the fork in the road. The weapon in his hand pierced into the back of the sentry's head with incredible speed, and then he swiftly covered the sentry's mouth and nose, making it impossible for him to make any sound before he died.

Gulzasuli recognized the figure the moment it appeared, so he took a step forward tacitly, crossed the fork in the road, and was alert to the checkpoint a hundred meters ahead.

The sentry was finally dead, and Gulzasuri confirmed that there was no movement at the checkpoint. He then turned back and asked, "Evgeni, what happened?!"

Yevgeni had some injuries on his face. He gently dragged the sentry's body into the darkness of the fork, then made a "follow me" gesture to Gulzasuli and turned to walk towards the fork.

Gulzasuri hurriedly followed.

Zhang Qingxiang naturally followed behind with the [Steam Engine Core].

Speaking of which, the [Steam Engine Core] is really a clever little guy. When this guy is outside, every movement will release a cloud of steam with a "hiss".

The bigger the movement and the faster the speed, the louder the steam will move.

But when we got to the secret passage, as the surroundings became quiet, this guy unexpectedly became silent as well!

Not only was there no steam coming out, but even the footsteps were so gentle that they made no sound at all.

Those rusty joints seemed to suddenly secrete lubricating oil automatically, and the creaking friction sound disappeared.

The way it creeps around makes people want to plug two smart little antennas into its head.

Yevgeny led everyone through twists and turns in the secret passage. Gulzasuli was very familiar with the secret passage and knew that they were moving away from the settlement.

After walking three or four kilometers to ensure that the conversation would not be heard by the checkpoints, Yevgeni stopped and turned around with red eyes: "Captain, you are finally back!"

Gulzasuri's heart skipped a beat: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Geminderad also rebelled! He captured Lord Akorazvan and many other people, and killed many people! I, I..."

Gulzasuri stared at him: "You also surrendered to them?"

"I didn't!" Yevgeny shouted in his defense. "They used the law to punish me."

He pointed at the wound on his face and said, "I pretended to agree with them. I can't die too, Captain. If I die, no one will tell you what happened! Because I saw it. I saw them escorting Lord Akora Zwan to the backup settlement!"

Gulzasuri felt guilty: "Brother, I wronged you."

Just now, Yevgeny killed one of Gminledaye's men with his own hands.

He is reliable.

"There is a prison in the settlement. Why would Geminradar send you to the backup settlement?"

Yevgeni shook his head. "I don't know either. I heard that there are too many people here who support you. Geminda was worried that someone would secretly help you escape, so he was sent over there."

Gulzasuri nodded, turned to Zhang Qingxiang and said, "Sir Savior, I want to rescue Akora Zwan first."

Zhang Qingxiang nodded: "That should be the case."

"Evgeni, will you come with me?"

"Of course!" Yevgeny puffed out his chest: "I will always be a soldier under your command. I will never be loyal to a villain like Geminledaye in my life!"

"Okay!" Gulzasuri said, "Let's set off immediately."

"Yes!" Yevgeny was fully committed, and because the plan was about to succeed, he overlooked a very inconspicuous detail, which was:
Gulzasuli asked Zhang Qingxiang whether to rescue Akolazwan, and after getting permission, he immediately ordered to set off. Gulzasuli did not even ask about the guards of the backup settlement and their strength.

……

Inside the settlement, Gemin Radar also received a report: "Sir, everything went well. They are heading to the backup settlement."

Geminda's tense nerves finally relaxed a little: "Very good, report to me at any time if there is any situation."

"As you command, Your Excellency!"

What Geminradar was afraid of was not Gulzasuri, but the "savior".

The last time they met, the sense of oppression that the savior gave him was too strong.

For a moment, Geminradar also clearly felt that the savior wanted to kill him.

And for some reason, Geminradar felt that this guy could kill him - he could kill him easily under the protection of all the powerful warriors in the settlement.

So after Geminda locked up Akolazvan, he immediately began to formulate a plan to hunt down this "savior"!

"Your so-called savior is my destroyer."

Geminradar could also think of that the only existence that could be compared with this savior was the most powerful monster within thousands of kilometers.

Because it was so terrifying, the people of Ognea even gave it a special name, called "Cabrivos".

This monster was the nightmare of the Ognians before the whole world was destroyed, and there are many terrible legends about it.

Although attracting "Cablivas" here may cause endless troubles, this is the only way to kill the savior!
The favorite food of "Kablivos" is actually not the Ogneans, but another kind of soul insect monster.

As for the Ogneans, they were mostly eliminated "incidentally".

Because Cablivos is too powerful, this kind of soul worm monster is very rare in the world now.

It just so happened that Geminradar had discovered a nest a long time ago.

He sent people to capture this nest of soul worm monsters, and then placed them in a spare settlement, and then asked Yevgeny to lead the saviors there.

"This plan should be successful. Cablivos will definitely help me get rid of this troublesome enemy."

But even though he felt relieved, Ge Mingleida still felt a little uneasy.

Why do you feel this way?

Geminradar also thought about it: Yes, I am worried about how to send Cablivos away.

The backup settlement is still somewhat close to us after all.

……

The backup settlement is an underground military fortress.

The scale is much larger than the current settlements.

This place was once a testimony to the powerful technological capabilities of the Ognyan people. The core of the base is a giant deep well building with a diameter of three kilometers and a depth of twenty kilometers.

There are a total of 3,800 such deep wells in the entire Ognea world.

They were the sites of the Ognians' first generation of "land-to-air cannons".

The giant pulse cannon, which is only one size smaller than the deep well, can blast directly into the sea of ​​stars.

However, this "first generation" was soon eliminated. The Ognians formed a star track defense circle, and then they pushed the defense line into deep space.

This underground military base was later rebuilt several times until it became a backup settlement after the civilization was destroyed.

Akora Zwan didn't choose this place originally precisely because it was too big.

The entire base covers an area of ​​30 kilometers.

Now they don't have so many people.

The space inside is too empty, and there is not enough manpower to complete the defense and control of the entire area.

Yevgeni led Gulzasuri to the outskirts of the base, and the two began to advance cautiously, each taking out their weapons, covering each other and moving forward alternately - with great tacit understanding, just like they had done countless times before.

Along the way, they did find some signs of recent activity.

Following these traces, they came to the huge central shaft.

During the whole process, Zhang Qingxiang followed quietly from behind and did not express any opinions unless Gulzasuli asked.

In fact, Yevgeny had been secretly paying attention to the every move of this "savior".

He thought he covered it up well.

That's why the "savior" didn't notice the suspicious points and kept following me and stepped into this fatal trap.

When they reached the central shaft, Yevgeny secretly exclaimed, "Done!"
Everyone should have entered the field of vision of "Cablives", and the "Savior" can't escape.

There is a characteristic of hunting in Cablivos, that is, if there is a strange soul worm, it will be eaten first regardless of anything else; if there is no soul worm that one likes the most, then the most powerful one present will be eaten first.

Then the next strongest one, and so on.

But Kabliwas doesn’t waste a single bite of food.

Yevgeni had seen the strength of the "Savior" and believed that he would be able to hold on for five minutes in front of Cablivos.

This time is enough for me to escape.

Yevgeni pointed to the fresh marks on the ground and said to Gulzasuri, "Captain, look, Mr. Akorazvan should be imprisoned in the central shaft."

Gulzasuli nodded and walked past Yevgeni towards the passage ahead.

The entrance of the passage is ten meters high and is connected to a huge central vertical shaft.

Dim light poured in from the central shaft, and from the central shaft, many such passages dispersed into their own passages.

When Gulzasuri was about to reach the entrance of the passage, he found that the Savior had come from behind and was at the same level with him at some point in time.

Gulzasuli sensed the Savior's intention, so he lowered his head slightly, took a half step behind, and gave the leading position to the Savior.

Yevgeny quietly fell behind to make it easier for himself to escape.

Zhang Qingxiang came to the entrance and stopped. Gulzasuli was standing by and noticed that there was a hint of admiration in His Excellency's eyes.

Gulzasuli couldn't help but be curious, so he quietly walked forward and looked outside, and he was stunned.

The huge central shaft has now become a vibrant space.

The various plants that existed before the destruction of the Ognea world - the dozens of trees that were often seen in Gulzasuli decades ago, as well as the flat lawns and flowers scattered during the period - these plants that should have been completely destroyed were now thriving in the dim light.

The blades sway gently with the spiraling airflow in the shaft.

The petals seemed to have a faint fragrance.

And among these plants, there are many animals that should also be extinct - beasts roaming among them, birds flying among the treetops, and fish swimming in the streams.

There are also some Ogneans living among them.

They work, cook, and chat...

This world is divided into ten layers, each layer is two kilometers long, and each layer is connected by a natural ramp.

It's all so lifelike, as if it were a real ecological environment!
Gulzasuri was filled with boundless fear from the bottom of his heart! He felt his throat dry and every muscle in his body stiffened.

"Go!" he said to the Savior, then spread his wings behind him, took a step forward, and prepared to pounce on the terrible monster.

He didn't know whether Yevgeny had also been deceived, or whether his good brother had betrayed him and led him and his savior into this trap.

But Gulzasuri is ready to sacrifice himself in an attempt to buy a chance for His Excellency the Savior.

With your strength, as long as you can delay Cablivos for half a minute, you should be able to escape.

But his wings were grabbed, and Zhang Qingxiang pulled and Gulzasuli was behind him.

Zhang Qingxiang walked forward and entered the central shaft.

Gulzasuri desperately shouted: "Sir! You must not go over there, that is Kablivos, the most powerful monster in the entire Ognea world."

"I know." Zhang Qingxiang said without turning his head.

Of course Zhang Qingxiang felt that this was a strange creature, and it was indeed a very rare dominant level creature in the world of Ognea.

The entire central shaft space, including the surrounding base, was dominated by it.

A small figure at Yevgeny's level simply could not understand that when Zhang Qingxiang stepped into the realm of another master, they would immediately sense each other.

Zhang Qingxiang did not deliberately restrain his breath, so as soon as the two got close, Cablivos also sensed Zhang Qingxiang.

So Cabliwos opened up this "world" specifically.

It was to show his "work" to Zhang Qingxiang, and of course it was also a demonstration.

Zhang Qingxiang felt a little embarrassed because he couldn't show his "work".

Those things imprisoned in the [Divine Chamber] are weird, ugly and still under testing, so they cannot be shown to the public.

Zhang Qingxiang was angry!

It's like... two vivarium enthusiasts, their skill level should be about the same, but one of them has a perfectly maintained planted tank, and the other... has nothing to show for it.

Zhang Qingxiang decided: Since your work is so outstanding, I will smash your work!

In an instant, in the "ecological environment" of the central shaft, a floating translucent silk thread appeared behind every living creature, whether it was a plant, animal, or Ognean.

That was the nerve of Kabliwas.

It is the one that has been controlling all this behind the scenes.

At the deepest part of the central shaft, at the bottom of the tenth world, a huge eye suddenly opened, and Cablivos moved!

One of its eyes is as big as the central shaft, and its body is even larger than the entire base!

Yevgeni retreated quietly, hid himself in the shadows of the passage, and tried to slip away along the wall.

But his head was grabbed by a big hand with an iron clamp.

[Steam Engine Core] When it was beside its master, it was about the same height as the Ognean, but now, it has expanded to twelve meters tall and has to keep its head down when in the passage.

It looked down from above and grabbed Yevgeny's head, and Yevgeny was immediately unable to move.

[Steam Turbine Core] The mechanical face actually smiled at Yevgeni!
Yevgeny's ghost is coming out, "You bastard, let me go!"

I won't be able to escape, and I will be eaten by Cabliwos!
He wanted to struggle, but as the big iron hand clamped his head, several spiritual energy threads secretly emerged from the fingertips, penetrated into his body, and completely controlled his nervous system!

He lost control of himself.

I can only wait for death.

Gulzasuri rushed towards the central shaft regardless of everything: "Sir, please leave quickly..."

Then a hand grabbed his wings and pulled him back.

[Steam Engine Core] was about ten meters away from him, and he stretched out his arm, mechanically extending it and grabbing Gulzasuri.

"Go and help quickly, that monster is extremely powerful!" Gulzasuli yelled at the [Steam Engine Core].

The [steam engine core] did not move.

Everything in the tenth world overlapped, and the entire base began to tremble.

Zhang Qingxiang lowered his head and saw Cablivos below showing its enormous size.

Zhang Qingxiang raised his hand, a big sword appeared in his hand, and then he stabbed it downwards.

laugh--

The greatsword pierced through the giant eye.

From the perspective of space, this picture is extremely strange.

The eye was too huge, and although the sword was very long, it was like a speck of dust in front of the eye.

But it just gives people a feeling that the greatsword nailed Cablivos to the ground.

Cablivos was in great pain. The part of his body that was nailed could not move, but the other parts of his body struggled hard. The huge underground base suddenly collapsed!

Zhang Qingxiang did not kill Cablivos immediately.

Although this monster has also reached the [Domination Realm], it is only the first level of the Domination Realm.

If it is above level two, the "master" of this world will not let it wander around in this world.

Zhang Qingxiang thought of the [True Mystical Treasure] he had just obtained.

It hasn't been integrated yet, but that doesn't stop me from experimenting with its abilities in advance.

Zhang Qingxiang quietly held the [True Mystical Treasure] in his hand, and in an instant he saw countless "worlds".

Zhang Qingxiang searched in these worlds for about ten minutes and finally found what he needed.

Zhang Qingxiang stretched out his hand and a tube of special medicine appeared in his hand.

There was half a tube of liquid in the syringe that looked like pus and blood.

Zhang Qingxiang injected the medicine into Cablivos' body.

In the ten overlapping worlds, the thin lines behind those creatures kept withering, breaking, and shattering.

Then the withering began to spread throughout Cabliwos's body.

While struggling, Kablivos destroyed the entire underground base. The [Steam Engine Core] grabbed Yevgeni and flew into the central shaft with Gulzasuri.

The two Ognians watched in amazement. Just a small tube of potion could cause the huge Cablivos below to wither and shatter layer by layer!
No matter how much this beast, the nightmare of the Ognea world, roared and struggled, it could not stop the process. Soon, the destruction spread to its eyes...
