Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds Chapter 445 – 445 Stone Warrior Eight Formation

445 Stone Warrior Eight Formation

No!

“Definitely not!”

The Horus Drill plan was still rejected by his iron son.

“Don't forget that I still have Tacitus' aura on me,” his iron son said. “It'll alarm the swarm.”

Kang De clapped and said, “If you hadn't said it, I would have forgotten.”

Therefore, he carried his iron son's head and did a swarm perception range experiment. The limit distance was about three kilometers. Then, he returned the way he came and arrived at the town with the missing population.

Then, he measured his iron son's head.

He waited on the spot for more than 20 minutes, but he did not see any insects break out of the ground and meander over.

“Very good. If the soil structure can't affect their perception range, this means that they're very far from us now, at least three kilometers away. In other words…” Kang De smiled and said, “You can go now.”

Horus was still resisting stubbornly. “What if the soil can affect their perception?”

Kang De's smile became even more loving. “Then what are you worried about?”

“…”

“…”

In the end, his iron son submitted.

After all, Kang De's attack in the white fog space shocked Horus, who was gradually entering the rebellious period.

Dig.

After taking some parts and parts from the white fog world, Horus reorganized and deformed, turning into a closed digging device. It was about the size of a motorcycle. In front of it was a drill that had been simply welded, cut, and pieced together. It could not be compared to industrial use. It could be used because Kang De had enchanted it.

Behind him was a small cabin that was as narrow as the cockpit of a fighter plane. In fact, it had been modified according to the cockpit model of the F35. Kang De could sit in it and observe the outside world through the windshield.

The engine turned, and the drill made a soft sound before sinking. The solid cement ground shattered like a crispy biscuit, and soon, it was dry and hard soil. Kang De reached out and pressed it against the side wall. His mental strength seeped out and extracted some rocks and soil to assist his iron son in the construction. He dug about 10 to 20 meters, and the surrounding soil gradually became sticky.

His iron son said unhappily, “…It's wet. It's so disgusting.”

Kang De said, “Didn't you change two layers of armor?”

Horus replied, “Father, don't you feel disgusted if your clothes are stained with feces?”

—That made sense.

Since this guy had helped, it was fine to let him say a few words.

Otherwise, the person extracting and digging in the mud would be Kang De.

Earth was not Minecraft, and the soil was not only a thick backlog that was slightly moist. This was because there was water underground. The deeper he dug, the more water there was. Under the soil, there were all kinds of rock layers, terrain, and even ancient crystal holes. There might be a large amount of groundwater stored in the rock walls. There might be gas, natural gas storage, or even oil, salt mounds, lava, high-temperature heat flow, and even radioactive mineral deposits.

Not to mention that space was endless, even the ground under his feet contained countless mysteries and unknowns. If Earth was compared to an egg, humans had only knocked a small powder on the eggshell.

102m was the depth of the Badaling High-Speed Railway Station.

154m was the largest hotel in the world.

200m was the depth of the Pyongyang Metro station in North Korea.

287m was the deepest undersea tunnel in the world.

2375m was the greatest depth of human scientific research, the dark matter detection laboratory on Jinping Mountain in China.

The radius of the Earth's equator is 6,378,137 meters.

The glass on both sides had been enchanted and strengthened. Mud was on it. Kang De stretched out his hand. The Sun God's Proof of Star Authority shone with a gentle light, illuminating the surrounding darkness. This light illuminated the scene outside the cabin. Water, soil, and gravel mixed in surged from all directions.

It surged like seawater.

It was a similar feeling to sinking in the deep sea in a small submersible.

There was darkness and the unknown. With a human body and a short lifespan, he wandered in the traces left behind by countless years. He was the only visitor to this frozen and eternal story.

Horus's voice sounded, “What's Father thinking?”

Kang De shook his head. “How do you feel?”

His iron son said indifferently, “As a hard and thick drill, I'll work hard to go deeper in a dark, wet, and warm mud. What do you think?”

Kang De laughed.

He smiled for a while before continuing to look around the cabin, “So it's like this underground… I really didn't know in the past. What I learned in books is still very different from my actual experience.”

Horus asked, “So?”

“Therefore…” Kang De said faintly, “Groundwater, flowing mud, hard rocks, increasing pressure, and temperature. We keep digging down, but we can't find any traces of the locusts. They might be able to dig in here overnight. The flowing mud and groundwater will cover the traces of movement, but…”

However, if the townspeople had all been kidnapped… how?

In the past, he did not know. Today, after seeing the underground with his own eyes, how could he transport people?

Even if they did not drown, they would suffocate.

This discovery made Kang De feel slightly uneasy. He had always guessed that the townspeople were not dead, but had been transported to some ruins building underground like food. However, from the looks of it…

“This is the mystery we want to resolve,” Horus said. “Hasn't Father always done this? Try your best to save lives. If you can't save them, prevent the spread of the calamity. If you can't prevent it in time, punish the sins and let the dead rest in peace. Moreover, ensure that sorrow won't happen again. Life is precious. If you do your best, you won't regret it. Time can't be wasted on meaningless self-blame and guilt. We'll resolve all kinds of trouble.”

“You're right.” Kang De slowly exhaled and threw out the chaotic thoughts and guesses in his mind, “At this moment, killing Big Bob as soon as possible is the greatest justice.”

Deep underground, the location was difficult to distinguish. The phone signal had already disappeared. Fortunately, Horus's location device and direction instructions were still effective. Kang De confirmed the location and tried his best to dig deeper. He also approached the direction of Banjul. The temperature was continuously rising, and the flowing mud rubbed against the gravel as he dug into the outer wall of the machine.

As for the surrounding scenery, he was long tired of it. Speaking of which, how could there be any scenery?

Just like that, it gradually approached Banjul and dug in at a diagonal angle. In order to ensure the lifespan of the drill, the speed of digging was not fast. About an hour later, the engine suddenly stopped.

Horus whispered, “Eh?”

Kang De had wanted to teleport out half an hour ago to let out some air.

However, looking at the harsh environment around him, with his thick skin, he was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to return to the ground to breathe fresh air and eat a KFC family bucket.

Kang De pulled out the breathing mask of the portable oxygen tank and asked, “Why? Did you dig up bedrock?”

Horus turned off the engine and turned on all the detection devices. He whispered, “Listen…”

The rumbling vibration was not the surging of mud and the flow of water, but another vibration sounded from afar underground… and it was getting closer and closer!

The phoenix flames in Kang De's eyes suddenly burned, but he still did not see any abnormality around him. His mental strength spread out, and the power of the Fire Thief did not sense any abnormality… This meant that it was not close enough!

However, it was close enough!

The father and son had fought side by side for a long time. Horus had been formed by him and followed his father's personality. He had also cultivated an increasingly decisive personality through his experience and battles. At this moment, in front of a great enemy, they might have already been discovered, but they had an extremely tacit understanding. The first thought they thought of was not to quickly escape!

Instead, they advanced quickly!

Kang De said sternly, “Push at full power!”

Horus said in a low voice, “Alright!”

The engine roared, and the drill roared violently. Kang De's mental strength spread out and shattered the obstacle in front of him as if it was annihilated. The father and son suddenly accelerated, and the surrounding roars and vibrations approached!

“Continue! Speed up!”

Since they had already heard the commotion and the enemy had even reacted, it meant that the nest was not far away! In that case, they had to at least see something!

The trembling roar became louder and louder as if an earth dragon was violently invading. Kang De's expression was as calm as water. His Phoenix Vision had already seen a few rolling silver rivers in the distance. He could not tell what they were for the time being. This was not what he was most concerned about. “Faster!”

It was already so close that Horus's sensors could sense it.

His iron son said in a low voice, “Estimated to receive the enemy in 40 seconds!”

“Then we still have 39 seconds!”

“Thirty seconds!”

“Twenty seconds!”

“Ten seconds!”

“Five!”

At this moment, his mental strength expanded to the limit. The obstruction of the soil and rocks in front of him continuously disappeared. The back of the excavator revealed a jet device and rushed forward violently. Under the obstruction of the endless ground, he broke through the layers of obstacles and finally arrived at a location close enough to let the Phoenix Vision see something other than the soil.

In the distance, he could vaguely see a shining red dot.

It was the feedback of the Vision of Life. A large number of humans were gathered there.

Underground.

He had found it.

“It's here!”

The soil on both sides was suddenly rushed over, and a silver storm whistled over. In the next moment, black light surged. Kang De and Horus instantly disappeared and returned to the white fog world.

The outer metal plate covered in mud and gravel fell off, and Horus turned into a large-headed robot. Kang De jumped up and turned to look at it. “There's no mistake! Those people are still alive!”

Horus said slowly, “What are those things?”

“I didn't see it clearly,” Kang De said in a low voice, “but we had time to give them a welcome gift.”

The door opened again and Kang De returned to Earth. In the house in the village, a huge cave had been dug in the living room. In the end, there were traces. Horus stretched out his sensor probe and went deeper.

“Vibration, high-frequency vibration… They're rushing over! They're very fast!”

“Then let's entertain them and test how far we can go!”

Horus asked, “With what?”

Kang De opened the door. “Of course, it's the Stone Warrior Eight Formation!”

The Transformer transformed into a half-body exoskeleton that covered Kang De's shoulders, back, and arms. It shuttled back to the western airport of the white fog world. With the support of the country, the generosity of France, and the help of the Russians, Horus had taken the time to make very interesting local weapons in the past two days.

After all, modern weapons targeted the country and the soldiers and would not blindly pursue lethality to prevent waste and accidental injuries. However, this strange swarm was an enemy outside the specifications. The power of conventional weapons was limited, and weapons of mass destruction could not be obtained for the time being. Kang De could only unleash his traditional spirit and rely on himself.

For example, the Stone Warrior Eight Formation.

He came to the corner of the shirt of the vast airport runway and pulled open a canvas, revealing a pile of objects shining with a metallic luster. The simple lines, the design of the atmosphere, and a few large words were written.

“Laiyang Steel Pipe Factory.”

In the previous battle of Comoros, the construction materials obtained from a military camp included these thick steel pipes. Horus had stuffed a large number of plastic explosives, shell high explosives, and fragments.

Clank.

It had been repeatedly enchanted by Kang De and emitted colorful black. The concentration of elements on its surface and the complicated composition were enough to make any Grand Mage reveal a subtle and terrified expression.

This was the Stone Warrior Eight Formation.

It was modified by the Eight Front Formation of the Three Kingdoms of the Later Han.

After opening the spatial door, eight steel pipes landed on the ground. Horus scanned the surrounding terrain and confirmed the best location, pointing out the coordinates for Kang De. Kang De carried one horizontally and leaped with large strides. He suddenly stopped below and extracted the ground. One pillar sank and sank into the ground, and so on.

There were a total of eight pillars.

It was not only the Stone Warrior Eight Formation but also the Eight Golden Locks.

These eight gates were death, death, death, death, death, death, death, and death.

After doing it, Horus said in a low voice, “They're coming soon!”

Three minutes later, the rumbling of the ground could already be heard clearly. Kang De waited for a moment and began to move. Horus's Tacitus aura attracted the guests underground and continuously moved, changing their location. Kang De looked with the Phoenix Vision. Below was a coiled silver river that rolled like a python.

“It's here!”

The ground under his feet exploded one after another.

Kang De had long teleported. He stepped on the back of the Hima Eagle and looked down. He saw more than ten silver-gray pythons roar out, break through the soil, and raise their heads to the sky. They roared. There was no snake tongue in their mouths, only a ball of surging silver dust. In a flash, Kang De raised his left arm and a huge homemade mortar quickly fell.

It fell into the python's mouth.

Flames exploded.

The silver-gray fragments suddenly exploded. They were torn apart by the shock wave and burned by flames. The python's head exploded on the spot, and half of its body danced violently. The Hima Eagle flapped its wings and flew up. Kang De held it in his left hand.

Detonate.

Strong light surged, and magic power rolled. The light of the gunpowder weapon and the tyranny of the elemental power were united under the power of the Fire Thief. The Stone Warrior Eight Formation swept through everything and suppressed the strange and strange.

In an instant, it was as if ten thousand thunderclaps had streaked past. A blazing shock wave raised the entire town. The ground rolled like waves, and houses rose and fell. This empty town seemed to have encountered an earthquake. It collapsed, shattered, and crumbled. Looking down from the sky, a visible shock wave pushed the sand into the distance.

As for the silver-gray python that continuously rushed out, its body was torn apart by this terrifying light, shattering into countless star fragments that burned, shattered, and floated.

Only sporadic locusts danced with the wind and floated involuntarily.

In the end, it was buried in the flames.

Kang De stood on the giant eagle in the sky and looked down at the sea of fire and destruction below.

Feeling the hot wind blowing, he said indifferently, “These are all locusts.”

The python formed by countless locusts had an astonishing digging ability underground… He witnessed all of this and suddenly, the phone in his pocket buzzed.

Qin Mengjin.

“I couldn't contact you just now!”

“What's wrong?”

“The French have taken action!”
