Chapter 1927 Cause of Destruction
Lu Ping'an's exploration team was doing quite well, at least, much better than those unlucky guys who "died and went back".
The reason is simple. The angry and ashamed Sword Master is really an easy-to-use excavator. Ahem, Zhixi and her guards completed most of the combat tasks easily.
Lu Ping'an also tried it, and the result was quite subtle.
"Physical resistance is maxed out, fire resistance is almost immune, ugh, what a troublesome enemy."
Lu Ping'an's strength, cutting speed and spatial ability are not considered strong at the same level. Now this rule-level incarnation can kill people by force, but his efficiency is not as good as that of a female swordsman who is excellent in a single item.
"It can be seen that this civilization was once glorious."
Lu Ping'an's exploration team, which was composed of many rule-level players, was doing quite well, at least in the shallow layer. Especially Xia Qin, who was equipped with the "Shining Stone Long Sword", was able to kill each of the stone monsters with one blow.
Soon, they arrived at the first landmark mentioned in the previous information.
It was an extremely giant furnace. The magma flowing from the depths of the volcano converged here and met in the huge furnace. Even at this time, Lu Ping'an could still hear the slow and firm sound of mechanical gears from it.
It seemed that it was the flowing magma that pushed the still functioning parts inside, emitting the echo that seemed to have a rusty smell.
Next to the furnace, countless conveyor belts had come to a standstill, filled with only some fragments of stone monsters.
A rough estimate shows that there are at least several hundred giant conveyor belts. They may be using the power of the furnace for deep processing. Lu Ping'an can even feel the extraordinary power in it. The strange and sacred surface patterns obviously carry a strange power.
This scene alone makes people subconsciously assess the prosperity of this city at its peak. Many of the giant facilities scattered on the ground look like integrally formed large ships and carts. Judging from the information, this is a super civilization capable of building airships.
They seemed to be building ships on an assembly line.
The research team started the field research directly. Some people began to record these magic patterns, some tried to restore the structure of the giant furnace based on data and drawings, but Lu knew that they were probably doomed to fail.
“This is the heart.”
Lu Ping'an made a judgment, and it was mostly true.
There is no need to verify it. This dungeon should be the incarnation of a giant ancient god. However, what makes Lu Ping'an feel strange is the overly rough reality of this dungeon.
He saw that this place was too "simple" for a civilization.
"The walls are completely undecorated and look completely different from Cloud City. If that can be explained, then these crude and chaotic pipelines are clearly connected without any planning. The seemingly spectacular furnaces and production lines all seem too crude. Without robotic arms and processing facilities, how much manpower is needed to run these production lines?"
As a veteran farmer in some aspects, Lu Ping'an saw the roughness of it. This didn't look like a home where people could live and work in peace and contentment. Instead, it looked like...
"A temporary frontline production base built for a certain war."
This doesn't match the information. According to the gravekeeper's records, this should be one of the most prosperous cities of the giants.
".The journey was safe, we found it."
At this time, another exploration team contacted Lu Ping'an's real body.
"What did you find?"
Everything seems to be going smoothly on Sean's side, and it seems that he has found the so-called cemetery.
Then, you may also find relevant knowledge.
"Wrong, this is not the gravekeeper's cemetery"
"Ah? What is that? Why are so many 'Soul Lanterns' pointing there?"
"That is the cemetery of the surviving people. It is the place where the ancients were massacred. They are not the keepers of knowledge, but the crystallization of knowledge that cannot be dissipated after being killed."
Lu Ping'an was very interested in the specific situation, but now did not seem to be the time to elaborate. Lu Ping'an wanted to know more about the news here, this underground city that was still struggling to resist.
The gravekeepers over there also responded to Lu Ping'an's questions with simple words.
"We have found the truth behind the destruction of the giants."
"It's a disease, a disease that came from nowhere, a 'petrifying disease' that is impossible to resist."
Words carry messages, and the more Lu Ping'an listens, the more he understands this world's hatred of history. If these things were really passed down, I'm afraid that when each ethnic group develops, the first thing they would do is to "destroy the sky."
Giants are very powerful. They have amazing individual strength, are naturally good at using elemental powers, and are good at teamwork. They basically have no shortcomings or weaknesses.
If such an existence had really developed, there would probably be no "new race" of the next generation, but they still perished because of a sudden disease without any warning.
"Although it's called petrification, it's not the body that's fossilized, but the mind. It will cause the giants to gradually lose their emotions, and then lose themselves. Finally, with nothing to cling to, they will perish on their own and turn into stone."
Now, looking at those emotionless stone monsters in front of him, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood.
Perhaps, when life loses emotion and motivation as the source of action, it is possible to use "logic" as the motivation to drive its actions.
So, the original living people were actively transformed into "biological computers"?
Then, this revenge is indeed justified.
Lu Ping'an could only think of divine punishment for the virus that could make this entire ethnic group defenseless, and that the world was going to exterminate this ethnic group.
Individuals in each ethnic group lost their emotions and motivation and eventually turned into stone statues. It's creepy just to think about it.
The powerful giant tribe obviously put up a certain degree of resistance.
If this is really a virus, then I'm afraid we may not be able to resist it.
"The king of their fire giant clan, a great being called 'Samudink' in the data, abandoned his own body and turned into a stone statue while still retaining his self. He then sank his body into the magma and used his own flesh and blood to resist the erosion of the rules of the outside world."
The divine realms can contend with each other. If it is a virus, it may be able to penetrate the abyss, but if it is a change in the rules of the world, and it is a forcible anchoring of the curse that "giants will lose their emotions and motivation", then this area wrapped in flesh and blood may really be able to resist the curse to a certain extent.
Well, as a real doomsday fortress, the chaos here is understandable.
Now, Lu Ping'an, who had not been very interested at first, suddenly became motivated.
"Perhaps there is a tribe's last treasure underneath. No wonder those stone monsters outside are looking for it. This is the legacy of their ancestors."
