Alien Relic Hunter

Ke Lan can still clearly remember the news footage he saw on the hospital TV screen - collapsing glaciers, collapsing mountains, crescent-shaped sinkholes filled with large white dust mist...

This is actually an S-class relic?

The information merchant "ACMS_0420" in the forum had tried to sell information about this ruins to him before, but at that time he had already accepted the Leviathan commission, so he did not pay attention to this news.

At that time, according to laser ranging data, the depth of this sinkhole was more than two thousand meters... From this point of view, the location of this twin ruins should be directly below the original "A-087" ruins. The location Ke Lan and the others explored before starting was much deeper.

"How come this ruins was classified as S-level? What did the advance team find inside?" Ke Lan couldn't help but ask.

"They..." The hound's eyes were fixed on the screen, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty. "They... found traces of suspected prehistoric creatures at a depth of 400 meters in the sinkhole."

"A primitive species? Is there a primitive species down here?" Leighton suddenly jumped up from his chair, and the mechanical structure on his body made a strange "click" sound.

After experiencing the Leviathan incident, everyone was more or less "allergic" to the word "prehistoric species" - although the hounds had planned to name the hunting group "prehistoric hunting group", in fact, in their hearts It is clear that in the face of existences like the Prehistoric Species that can almost subvert the laws of nature, human beings are too weak, and their individual strength can almost be ignored...

If there really was a prehistoric species dormant under this bottomless sinkhole, then they would never choose to take on this mission.

Only those who have truly witnessed the horror of this creature can deeply understand the feeling of despair and powerlessness.

"No... the biological detection device did not find any signs of life under the sinkhole... all they found were traces..." The hound's expression softened slightly, and everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's strange. If it were just the traces left by the prehistoric species, it wouldn't be enough for the rating committee to classify this ruins as S-level, right?" Ke Lan asked with some confusion.

When he sneaked into the underwater city, he had seen similar "traces" in the underground facilities on the desert island. He could confirm that a creature of the wild species had been "imprisoned" in that place... But the problem was , the degree of danger in that place is actually not high. The only threats are probably underground mazes and erosion seeds, but the former often appears in many C-level and B-level ruins, while the latter is caused by stalagmites and flesh-eating seeds. The active cells of worms are completely deficient in these two things.

Although the vast majority of ruin hunters have never come into contact with the Seed of Corrosion, and are not even aware of the existence of this monster, the rating committee must know this information - a monster with restraints like this will not It will be rated as a "major risk factor" and the level of the ruins will be greatly increased.

The advance team must have made other discoveries in the ruins.

"Uh...wait a minute, I'm purchasing detailed paid information."

There are three historical exploration records of the S-018 ruins "Bottomless Sinkhole". Since this newly emerged S-class ruins have attracted the attention of a large number of hunters, the details of these three exploration records have increased to nearly 10,000 credit points. .

However, compared with the average revenue figures of hundreds of millions for each of these three explorations, these nearly 10,000 credits are completely a small amount. Ke Lan noticed that the number of purchases of these contents has reached more than 1,400 times... In other words, at least more than 1,400 hunting groups or lone hunters spent nearly 10,000 yuan on this information.

"It's really...hot." Ivan couldn't help but sigh.

"Look...this is the first time I have obtained trophies from exploration!" Hound pointed at the screen and said. In the photo, he saw nearly a hundred stone tablets of different sizes, all of which were sealed in translucent ice. But from the photo, it’s not clear what’s on the stone tablet at all.

"These stone tablets were all found on the walls of the tiankeng, with depths ranging from 150 meters to 200 meters. They were cut by hunters using lasers from the ice..." The hound said this, quite a bit. He glanced at Ke Lan meaningfully - the content in his sight was clear to several people present: Since Ke Lan has the ability to decipher the Alpha language, as long as he can decipher the contents on these stone tablets, then this relic There will be no secrets for them. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a home ground specially designed for their hunting group.

The second photo shows dozens of relic hunters wearing engineering power armor, using a transport plane hovering above the sinkhole as a fulcrum, using steel cables to suspend themselves into the sinkhole. They are holding explosive bolts in their hands. There are stable brackets and small laser cutters, while the pit wall on the other side is covered with square incisions.

"Old dog, please enlarge the photo - I want to see the details of the pit wall." Ke Lan said.

"Yes." Hound nodded, and lightly dragged two fingers on the screen, and the photo was instantly enlarged several times.

Although the photo suddenly became blurry due to pixel limitations, they could still see that there were more stone tablets sealed deep in the incisions in the pit wall.

The first few batches of hunters who entered the tiankeng were limited by the power of their handheld devices. They could only take out the shallow stone tablets. As for the stone tablets deep in the ice, they probably had to use the "Longinus gun" "Such a large drilling equipment.

"It seems that the number of these stone tablets is amazing... If we are sure to choose this ruins, we have to move faster. The longer we delay, the less valuable these things will be." Layton said.

The hound flipped through a few more pages, but the content of this record document basically only contained photos of the removed stone tablets, actual shots of the cutting operations, and a few related videos. Other information was very little.

"Damn it...didn't these hunters encounter the ruins guards? Even if there are no guards...then there are no mechanisms? Why do they feel that they are two completely different styles from the A-087 ruins? At the beginning, we were so close He was trapped in there by those agencies." Hound said with some annoyance.

"Perhaps it was because of the collapse of the glacier that the mechanisms in the ruins were destroyed?" Ivan guessed.

"No, in my opinion... this information should be incomplete." Ke Lan shook his head, "If there is no danger, just because of the huge number of stone tablet documents, it cannot be rated as S-level... Moreover, the introduction mentions the traces left by the prehistoric creatures, but there is no mention of it in this exploration record. Aren’t you surprised?”
