Magic Tech’s Lair

Night falls.

In the misty abyss, at the junction of a passage in a cave, a fight is going on.

The cause of the fight is unknown, but it was intense and involved life and death.

There are six people on one side of the battle, taking the absolute initiative, two by two, and besieging the three people on the other side.

The three people who were besieged were all injured, their left branches protruding from the right, and they were in frequent dangers.

At this time, a young man from the besieged side said in grief and indignation: "We can hand over what you want, just spare the lives of the three of us..."

"It's late." One of the opponents besieging the youth said indifferently. When he was speaking, he punched out, and a gap was suddenly opened in the metal armor covering the fist, and a telescopic mechanical arm sprang out from it, as if a third hand had suddenly grown out, piercing the young man's throat in one fell swoop.

The young man died instantly.

It was a mechanic who killed the youth.

Mechanics' combat methods are ever-changing, and there is no fixed rule to follow. They use various mechanical creations to assist themselves, just like the mechanical arm that suddenly sprang out just now, making it hard to guard against.

Not far away, another besieged man saw the tragic death of his companion, and was terrified and wanted to escape.

One of the two besieging him was a mechanic, with his palm spread out, and the metal boxer in his palm flashed complicated symbol patterns, and a ring-shaped brilliance lit up, like the breath of a monster, a mass of elemental energy spewed out of it When it came out, it shattered the back of the fleeing person like a bomb.

Kill one more person.

The mechanic who used the boxer to release the elemental power grumbled to his companion after killing people: "My elemental beast armor, in a symbolic way, engraved the pattern of elemental magic power on the armor, so as to imitate the attack ability of the breath of a monster. Not bad. But the consumption is too high. To release this time, you need a crystal nucleus of a fourth-order or higher monster.

If I fight a few more battles, my family fortune will be wiped out. "

The companion who besieged the opponent with him: "That's why we have to hide the truth from the two major associations, open the way and sneak down to find the star debris. The energy contained in that thing is more than a hundred times larger than the elite beast core of the same volume. If we can find One piece, your battle armor no longer needs to be powered by the crystal nucleus of a monster, and it can be loaded with star fragments, so you don’t need to recharge it once a year.”

At this time, the battle was coming to an end, and the last person on the besieged side was also killed.

Their team killed three people in a row, and quickly searched the bodies of the three killed, looking for trophies.

It's just that they didn't realize that there were several pairs of eyes at the corner of a cave passage a little far away, watching them in the dark.

These pairs of eyes are exactly Cao Yan, Tao Hua, Dai Huanyu, Da Chou and Eggy.

Three people, two monsters, with ten eyes wide open, were observing the just-concluded battle outside.

When they rushed over, they just saw the last person killed and the battle ended.

And when Cao Yan appeared here, a bat flew over from the darkness.

This kind of bat is very common in the caves under the abyss. It is called the deep bat. It is a weak monster, not up to the official level of monsters, but there are so many of them that they can be encountered in almost every passage.

Right now, the Yuan bat flying over landed on Cao Yan's shoulder with a beautiful flight path.

Dai Huanyu sighed in admiration: "Boss, these ants are really powerful. I have never heard of a pet master who can domesticate ant colonies, and they are such spiritual ants that can combine various creations."

Yes, bats evolved from ant colonies.

When the bat came over, there were two small dung beetle-like beetles on the ground, which broke through the soil layer and crawled out, shaking their tentacles at Cao Yan, as if saying hello.

They are also transformed by ants.

After the ant colony entered the abyss, they overturned a few common bats and beetles in the abyss, ate them, and then mastered the method of evolving bats and beetles.

The abyssal bats and beetles they evolved cooperate with each other, and are constantly expanding the scope of the search for the abyss.

Not far away, the team of adventurers who just killed three people are also ants who have evolved into deep bats and beetles, and are responsible for tracking and monitoring.

Master all their movements in detail.

At this time, those murderers searched the body of the murdered person and found a small pocket: "Here."

The person in charge of the search opened his pocket and took a look: "There are four star crumbs in total, each less than ten grams in size, and the harvest is average."

The others said: "It's not in vain. Let's go, and then go to find Stardust."

Several people were talking, walked into an underground passage together, and gradually drifted away.

The bat on Cao Yan's shoulder flapped its wings soundlessly, still following those people.

On the ground, two small beetles also galloped up and followed secretly.

Cao Yan, Dai Huanyu, and Taohua came out of the darkness and came to the three dead bodies.

"The meaning of what they said was that these three people found a few star fragments in the abyss, and the other party knew about them, and they took action to snatch them before the fight broke out."

Cao Yan took out the star fragment obtained from the place where Nightmare evolved: "Do you understand the main value of this thing?"

Dai Huanyu: "I know something. It is said that the stars that fell from the sky and created this abyss contain strange energy. They can be used to charge magic artifacts, and can also be used to promote the evolution of monsters. They can even be integrated into the book of the kingdom of God. , to increase the level of the Book of the Kingdom of God, it has a wide range of effects and is very effective."

He said again: "The Association of Pet Masters and the Association of Mechanics sealed the abyss not only to suppress the abyss, but also to occupy these star fragments."

From this point of view, the fallen stars that caused this abyss are equivalent to high-purity energy, Cao Yan thought.

No matter which plane it is in, energy is an important resource that all forces must control in their own hands even if they do not hesitate to start a war.

Cao Yan spread out the star fragments in his hands: "Since this thing can improve the level of the code, I will use it for you."

Dai Huanyu showed a smile: "This one is for Peach Blossom, she has been busy in this cave for a day. First come, first served, I just came, if I find another one, I will give it to me."

Taohua was also polite, and took the star fragments from Cao Yan, holding them in her hand to check and play with.

"Why don't we go and rob, just rob the group of people just now, they rob and kill casually here, so we should rob them." Dai Huanyu said.

"If you want to go, go, I will not participate."

Cao Yan was about to retreat first, and it was already approaching midnight, and he still had no clue about tracking down the rare beast, so he stayed on, wasting time for nothing, and was of little use.

After Dai Huanyu came over, he cooperated with Taohua, plus eggs and big sticks, there were enough people. There is no need for Cao Yan to spend any more time here, after all, he has to work in the research department tomorrow.

After finishing his words, he teleported through the space and returned directly to the room of the association headquarters.

Taohua and Dai Huanyu discussed it and decided to split into two groups.

Dai Huanyu cooperated with the ant colony to follow the murderous and robbery team.

Taohua continued to complete the task of finding rare monsters together with Dagu and Dandan.

After discussing properly, the two split up.

Early the next morning, Cao Yan woke up and was on his way to the research department. He turned on the attendant assistant to check the messages sent by Taohua and Dai Huanyu in the morning.

"Boss, that team has been looking for star fragments in the cave... I need to return to Lantis City temporarily to deal with some things. The ant colony will continue to track them, and I will come back at night."

This is Dai Huanyu's message.

There is still no harvest on the other side of Peach Blossom, but it is getting farther and farther in the cave of the abyss.

On this day, Cao Yan was still working in the research team. With the knowledge of semiotics, he deciphered the metal plate. The progress of the work was smooth, much faster than expected.

As the evening approached, more than half of the content on the metal plate had been completed.

In the evening, Cao Yan left the research department early, and Taohua had just sent a message. The search for rare monsters had new clues.

After Cao Yan left, Guo Changsheng, the leader of the research team, picked up the symbols that Cao Yan deciphered and completed today, and examined them carefully. A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This child's semiotic talent is indeed extraordinary. This process of deduction and deconstruction involves the application of many advanced semiotics knowledge..."

"Come with me." Group leader Guo said to Pei Luo on the other side of the research room.

The two left the research room one after the other.

Not long after, Team Leader Guo took the symbols deciphered by Cao Yan to a room on the top floor of the association headquarters, knocked on the door and entered.

Sitting in the room were group leader Xu who led Cao Yan to the headquarters, and vice president Ji Qianshan.

"How is it? After two days of observation, what's the result?" Ji Qianshan asked Team Leader Guo who walked in.
