Doomsday Totem

Chapter 311 Reception

Chapter 311 Reception
In the deep and quiet darkness, occasionally a gust of cold wind passed by, rustling the clusters of ferns on the cliff.

This is a cold and desolate world, with no other light sources except those scattered stones scattered on the cliffs on both sides, emitting a faint green shimmer.These stones are called "Light Stones", which are unique substances of the Abyss.According to the research of scientists, they can slowly absorb the psionic star dust floating in the air, thus emitting a dim light.

After the cold wind passed, the area fell into deathly silence again.After an unknown amount of time, there was a soft sound of "Pa-ta...Pa-ta..." from above.

If you look up at this moment, you can see two eyeballs that flicker on and off, exuding a dark red light.This is a juvenile abyss monitor lizard. It is a huge monster with a length of about 15 meters and a weight of about [-] tons.At this point, it is looking for food.Abyssal monitor lizards are omnivorous animals, eating both plants growing on cliffs and meat.

However, it has not tasted the taste of flesh and blood for many days. If it only eats ferns, it will not be able to evolve into adolescence.So, it stepped into this area recklessly, hunting for food, or becoming food.

A few hours later, the abyssal monitor lizard that had been crawling downward bypassed a raised boulder, stopped suddenly, and raised its huge triangular head vigilantly.In an instant, a white spot of light appeared in its red retina.That was the target location of its foraging this time, a human stronghold built on a vertical cliff and spanning the abyss - Dawn Fortress.

Of course, all creatures in the abyss have a certain IQ, and this abyssal monitor lizard is no exception. Its goal is not the fortress, where it will only be an ingredient for cooking, not a predator.

Its real target is the intertwined and complicated passages near the fortress, and it will lurk in a dark corner waiting for an opportunity.With any luck, it can swallow a few scouts and go quickly.

And at the same time as the abyssal monitor lizard crawled downward, on the approach bridge across the cliffs on both sides of the Dawn Fortress, a simple, suspended plane gate was emitting a blue gleam.If you look closely, you can see liquid-like fluorescence flowing through the olive-shaped door, with rippling blue waves and ripples.

At this moment, not far from the gate of the plane, two young nobles from the Silver City wearing second-generation psychic power armor were standing together, talking in a low voice.

"It's just to pick up someone on the ground. Is it necessary to come so early? Is it necessary to be so serious?" One of them complained to the other.

"Don't talk nonsense, this ground person has been favored by the three major faiths at the same time, we can't offend him." The little nobleman said.His name was Billy, and he was a fourth-level psyker, and the companion who complained to him just now was named Judith, who was also a psyker, and was at the same level as him.

"He's not an aristocrat, so why should we make a noble salute when we meet?" Judith continued to complain.

"Have you forgotten? Her Royal Highness has already conferred the title of Guardian Knight on him at the award ceremony. According to our tradition, the Golden Grand Duke receives the title of Duke, and his first successor will receive the title of Marquis, while the heir's Guardian Knight will receive the title of Marquis." Earl, he is already a nobleman of Silver City, we should call him Lord Earl." Billy said.

"It's just a title of honorary nobility, and it's not officially recognized by the World Congress." Judith said disdainfully.

"Even if it's an honorary earl, we can't neglect it. Didn't General Brian repeatedly emphasize it before we came?" Billy said.

"Ah..." Judith sighed, and said, "It seems that our boss was frightened by the princess, I really don't understand, Reinhardt is also a great nobleman, there is no need to make such a move concession."

"We don't know what deals are between the big shots, so don't think too much, just do your part." Billy persuaded.

"Cut..." Judith said very uncomfortably, "What purpose do they have? Isn't this so-called wilderness knight launched to set an example so that those commoner students can actively participate in the exploration of the plane? That person is just luck It’s all right, it’s not about how noble your character is, and I heard…” Judith deliberately lowered his voice, and said, “Both Captain Alan Rudolph and Captain Mike Luo were killed by him in the end. The purpose is to occupy their legion, but during the war, evidence cannot be collected, if..."

"Stop talking, they're here." At this moment, Billy suddenly interrupted the former and reminded.

All of a sudden, the real fluorescent lights in the gate of the plane surged, as if a stone had suddenly fallen into a calm lake, causing waves of water to spread outward.

The next moment, dozens of supply trucks and armored personnel carriers filed out of the rippling void and drove towards the bottom of the bridge. The roar of engines suddenly sounded on the originally quiet approach bridge.

After the convoy appeared, the two little nobles put away the casualness on their faces and became serious.They stared at the gate intently, and a few minutes later, a jeep followed the convoy and drove out of the gate.

The two little nobles looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to wave their hands vigorously.The jeep pulled up, and there were two people in the car, a very fair-skinned male driver and a young man in a tarp military uniform.

"Master Wilderness Knight, good evening." The two little nobles greeted at the same time.Tie Slag nodded, as a response to the other party's greeting.

"I'm Billy, and he's Judith. We're here to meet you under the orders of Major General Brian Reinhardt." Billy said respectfully.

"Well, you've worked hard." Tie Slag said, and then waved his hand, motioning for the two to get into the car.Before coming here, Yu Ge told him that she and Reinhardt's family had reconciled, and the current Brian is an ally, so please feel free to accept the other party's hospitality.Although Tie Slag didn't understand why they were enemies one moment and friends the next, but he believed in You Ge and knew that she would definitely not harm him.

Facing his signal, the two young nobles did not get in the car immediately, but suggested that he get off the car first and stand on the bridge to watch the panoramic view of the entire Dawn Fortress.

At their suggestion, Tie Slag and Bai Xiaoyun got out of the car.Standing by the side of the bridge and looking around, you can see the bright lights on the cliffs on both sides, and the buildings made of steel and glass are embedded on the vertical stone walls. From a distance, they look like several iron patches nailed to the stone walls. , fragmented and solid.

Billy then introduced that the fortresses of the bottomless abyss are generally built on relatively narrow positions on the cliffs on both sides, which is convenient for building bridges and expanding the control area.However, Dawn Fortress is a little different, because the exit of the space-time rift is here, even though the cliffs on both sides are a little far away, they are still built here.This is the human stronghold established by Yincheng World through hundreds of years of hard work and the blood and sweat of several generations.

Dawn Fortress, also known as "Light of the Abyss", is the first and largest stronghold of human beings in the Abyss.Its size is huge, comparable to a small city.The pioneers dug into the depths of hundreds of meters on the cliffs on both sides, and did not stop until they reached the hard rock layer.

The stone wall of the bottomless abyss is roughly divided into four areas according to the hardness, namely the hard rock area, the hard rock area, the soft rock area, and the earth rock area.The hard rock area, also known as the "boundary stone area", is so hard that it cannot be excavated with the current technology of human beings.The hard rock area can be blasted with explosives. Although it is very difficult to excavate, it can be used as a permanent stronghold. The soft rock area is easier to excavate and is generally used as a passage or a temporary base. As for the earth and rock area, it is also called "collapse area". ", being in it, there will be certain dangers, and it is generally only used as a temporary passage.

Having said that, Billy looked at the gate of the plane and continued to introduce.Dawn Fortress is bounded by this bridge, divided into east and west sides, and the two sides are divided into upper, middle and lower areas, namely the upper east area, the middle east area, the lower east area, the upper west area, and the middle west area. There are six areas in the lower west area.

Since the Abyss is an endless space above and below, there may be stones falling from the top of the fortress, or objects overflowing from other lower planes.Most of these falling objects will burn to ashes during the high-speed fall, and a small part of them may hit the top of the bridge or fortress. Therefore, the bridge and the raised platform in the upper area are the most dangerous.The impact force formed by these falling objects at high speed is extremely terrifying.Although there are several layers of buffer nets on the top of the fortress, the probability of falling objects penetrating the net surface is extremely low, but absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.Otherwise try not to stay too long on the bridge and the raised platforms in the upper area if you don't have to, Billy advises.

After a brief introduction, the four of them returned to the jeep, and under the guidance of Billy, they went all the way down the approach bridge.After a while, the jeep drove into the road connecting the approach bridge and headed towards the east middle area of ​​the fortress.

This is a spiral tunnel road, most of which are built in the cliff, and the small half is exposed outside the cliff.The lights along the road are brightly lit, and the traffic is constantly flowing, making it very prosperous.

A few minutes later, the jeep drove out of the spiral road, passed a leading road, and entered a very wide tunnel.Looking around, the two sides of this tunnel are full of shops of various colors, and people are coming and going on the sidewalk, a lively and extraordinary scene.

"This is Shangrati Avenue, the most prosperous area in Dawn Fortress..." Billy introduced enthusiastically, "It is said that this street is named after a female writer named Shangrati. According to legend, Shangrati Possesses a head of white, light-blond long hair soaked in milk and a pair of ruby-like eyes; for some unknown and mysterious reasons, Shangrati is here somewhere, using her small handkerchief and A small wooden stick ended his young and short life; later, in memory of this peerless female writer, the street was named after her."

"I admit that this is a sad story, but why don't I feel sad, but rather inexplicably happy." After hearing Billy finish speaking, Bai Xiaoyun couldn't help asking.

"Maybe it's because her way of committing suicide is too weird..." Billy said while gesticulating, "Using a small handkerchief and a small wooden stick is really unimaginable..."
