Volume 3 Original Chapter 170 Lin Yan's Son
In the car, everyone was still very excited.
For a very long time in the past, they grew up in such a comfortable and peaceful environment. In their eyes, the world was like this at that time, with high skies, vast clouds, and peaceful mountains and seas.
But when they enrolled in military science, were admitted to universities, and even demonstrated their extraordinary talents, they realized that... this once familiar earth was actually only the tip of the iceberg.
Hidden behind is a vast world of infinite mystery.
Cave!
Cave creatures!
Song Shushi, the "World-defining Divine Spear", Chun Yujin, the "Born General", Liu Taihang, the "Thousand Troops Sword", Luo Kedi, the "Thunder Lion", Qi Mo, the "Heavenly Wind Sword"...
These names, which are very unfamiliar to ordinary people, can be regarded as legendary in that more mysterious world.
It is precisely because of this group of people who fearlessly embark on this path and take on risks that ordinary people cannot afford that the outside world becomes so colorful and wonderful.
And the moment they sign their names on the application documents and confidentiality agreements, they will also have to embark on this thorny road.
Hold up the sun in the shadows so that its light can continue to shine on the world.
Maybe...they will die on the battlefield in the next moment.
Or maybe, they too will become legends one day.
Take for example "Chun Yu Jin" who guards the Cave of the Gods. According to rumors, he graduated from the highest institution of learning on Earth, "Galaxy University", entered the planetary level at the age of 15, and broke through the stellar level before he was 40!
This kind of cultivation talent is already terrifying, and his most legendary experience is... he obtained a precious opportunity in the "Cave of the Gods" located in the original European continent. Since then, his strength has soared rapidly. In just 20 years, he has stepped into the cosmic level from the third level of the star level.
Among the top figures on Earth today, he is the youngest cosmic-level powerhouse!
He also possesses extremely strong command abilities and is known as a "natural born general". He is less than a hundred years old, but is already an important figure on Earth. He was invited to join the military and lead his troops to guard the "Cave of the Gods".
At this time, these young people in the bus are all graduates of the martial arts departments of various famous universities in Chang'an City. After signing the application documents, they are trained with special funds from the Ministry of Education and are eligible to join the Chang'an City Warrior Special Training Class for free.
Only after successfully passing the special training class assessment will you be allowed to enter the underground cave battlefield.
The "Second World" trial tower requires at least passing the 16th floor, and the level of physical strength exceeds 15 times. This is the assessment content of the warrior special training class.
This trip to the cave battlefield is to enter the cave world and fight with cave creatures in the designated area. After passing this actual combat assessment, they will be qualified to adventure deeper into the cave world.
These warriors are different from military warriors. They are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. Their organizational structure is relatively loose and they have a high degree of freedom. What they gain in the underground cave world will belong to them, and the state and other organizations will purchase them.
It is not mandatory to sell it.
They understand—
Once you enter the underground cave world, you will find dangers everywhere, but also endless possibilities.
These young people are willing to fight to defend their country, willing to fight for humanity, and shoulder the mission entrusted to them by this era.
…
"Teacher Zhang, what is the name of the cave we are going to now?" asked a male student who looked very sunny.
The two people accompanying them were Yuan Xin, the vice president of Chang'an University of Technology, and Zhang Qide, a teacher at the Chang'an Warrior Special Training Class.
Zhang Qide calmed down, tilted his head to look at the front of the bus, and said slowly: "We are now heading to the sixth cave discovered on Earth 13 years ago, named 'Tiannan Cave'."
"The Tiannan Cavern is close to Jiangnan City. Preliminary assessment of its danger level... ranks fifth among the seven major caverns discovered so far. We will conduct a combat assessment on you with the assistance of the military."
"Classmates, you have all successfully passed the 16th level of the Trial Tower and are the elite warriors of our Chang'an University. I believe that as long as you can exert your due strength, you will definitely be able to pass the actual combat assessment!"
Zhang Qide said.
However, it can be seen that there is still a hint of worry in his eyes.
Successfully passing the 16th floor of the Trial Tower and increasing their strength level by more than 15 times showed that these students possessed very strong abilities and had extremely rich combat experience in the virtual world. However... this just proved the difficulty of the actual combat assessment.
This is because... unless it is a large-scale battle like the army, ordinary warriors simply cannot survive in the cave world.
These cave creatures are much scarier than monsters!
If you start a fight, you must not drag your feet. Once you attract other cave creatures to encircle you, or even the cave leader (blood mantis) appears, it will definitely be a nightmare.
Of course, as long as they can exert 80% of their strength in actual combat, I believe it will be enough to pass the assessment.
There are two types of assessment content: one is to kill a specified number of cave creatures, and the other is to successfully survive in a specified area for two months.
Just satisfy one of them.
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhang." a student said loudly.
Other students also echoed.
"We are ready."
"We will definitely come back with good news."
"Okay!" Zhang Qide looked at the serious expressions of these young people, felt slightly relieved, and then nodded heavily.
…
The vehicle drove for more than ten minutes before it stopped. Vice President Yuan Xin said in a low voice, "Get off now and count your belongings."
Everyone got off the bus.
What comes into view is a military restricted area covered by metal wire mesh, and even the metal material is D-grade metal "Xuan Jin".
There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see all kinds of defensive fortifications being built, laser cannons being set up, and some special detection and monitoring equipment being set up, and fighter jets are on standby at the airport.
Soldiers and warriors, some armed with laser guns, some carrying cold weapons, under the command of the command center, maintain order and security in this important location.
Just the military forces that can be seen from the outside are extremely powerful, and also prove the great power exerted when the state machine is in operation.
Tiannan Cave!
What is guarded here is the entrance to the "Tiannan Cave". Once the creatures in the cave show abnormalities, this will also be the first checkpoint on Earth.
Many students looked at this heavily defended forbidden area and felt threatened and pressured. The laser turrets began to rotate and aim at them.
There were two colonel-level officers at the door followed by fully armed soldiers. The strength of both officers was above the stellar level, and they had a fierce aura.
"Chang'an City Warrior Special Training Class?" one of the officers asked. After getting a positive answer, his expression softened a lot.
"Documents, entry permit!"
Yuan Xin took out his ID, the school's application documents, and the admission documents approved by the military, and the other party checked them one by one.
After the inspection was finished, the officers and other soldiers with resolute expressions saluted the group of students!
"We are going to fight to defend our country and for the fate of mankind. Return victorious!"
"Triumph!"
The sonorous and powerful roar aroused everyone's emotions again.
The soldiers watched them go deep into the base without lowering their arms.
Even in the Great Nirvana Age, when the national order faced the most serious challenges, the army was still the main force, establishing war bases and guarding the peace of mankind.
Not to mention now, when social order has not been greatly affected.
Perhaps, apart from the military, whether other warriors with extraordinary powers enter the underground cave battlefield is entirely voluntary.
However, based on the important value system of "social contribution" and the simple emotions of being a human being, there are unwritten standards in the hearts of many people.
Fighting into the cave is what it means to be a hero.
…
As the group walked along, although they had not yet entered the cave, they already felt the weight of their responsibility and were all silent for a while.
They followed the team and continued to move forward.
Along the way, we can see that the base is heavily guarded, with sentries everywhere, and from time to time we can see small groups of troops evacuating from deep inside the base.
Their combat gear was stained with green blood and emitted a foul odor.
Many people were injured and even had physical disabilities, but... with current medical technology, as long as they didn't die on the spot, there was a chance of recovery.
Walking and walking.
Led by the base personnel, they came into a metal hall.
The hall was empty, with the only eye-catching thing being a tightly fitted alloy door made of E-grade alloy.
The gate's guards are two military warriors who exude a frightening aura. Through the intelligent optical computer, it can be determined that their strength has reached the ninth level of the star grade.
"Behind this is the gate to the underground world." Yuan Xin explained in a low voice.
The students' eyelids twitched. Although there was nothing unusual, they could feel a strong sense of crisis the moment they saw the door.
"Old Yuan, is this the newcomer from your Chang'an City?"
"Well, it does look quite realistic." One of the guards who looked older took a quick look and said with a smile.
This was not the first time Yuan Xin had done this, and he was quite familiar with them, so he chatted with them briefly.
Because these students are visiting Tiannan Grottoes for the first time, according to the rules, their relevant documents need to be checked again.
As the guard checked, he said, "I know you young people are energetic, but once you enter the cave, you must be careful and keep your life, so that you can kill the enemy!"
Although he was chattering a lot, everyone could hear his concern.
"Okay, go in. Lao Yuan will lead you to the designated area for the practical assessment." The guard put his hand on the metal door and was about to open it.
Everyone felt a little nervous and excited.
Just at this time——
"Woo, woo..." A shrill alarm suddenly sounded inside the entire war base. High spotlights lit up, and the expressions of the two military warriors guarding the entrance to the cave changed instantly.
"Is this... a level one alert?"
“Could it be…”
"Oh My God!"
They did not continue talking, but hurriedly looked at Yuan Xin and others, and said urgently: "Now, quickly leave the Tiannan Cave Base. Some unexpected situations have occurred in the cave, and strong people will come to deal with the situation. Your assessment plan is temporarily suspended!"
"I understand!" Yuan Xin also understood the urgency of the situation. Without having time to explain to his classmates, he led them to leave quickly along the safe passage.
After leaving the war base and getting on the bus again, the bus started immediately and the students started asking, "Teacher, what happened?"
This matter is really strange!
Even Zhang Qide was a little confused.
"Level 1 alert..." Yuan Xin looked at the military base and said in a low voice, "The last Level 1 alert was in the Kirishima Caverns 37 years ago. That was also the first time that Earth encountered a cosmic-level cave creature in a cave world."
"It is said that the military discovered important treasures during their exploration of the Kirishima Caverns. However, the enemies they attracted were also amazing. There were 26 cosmic-level cave creatures, and they set off a widespread cave creature riot."
"It was during that time that Liu Taihang, the Thousand Army Sword, was trapped by the enemy for fourteen days and nearly lost his life."
Everyone was shocked.
No wonder people say that the caves are extremely dangerous. In today’s Earth, the cosmic level is the most powerful being. 26 cosmic level cave creatures...what does that mean?
This is really terrible!
They looked at the war base getting farther and farther away, their eyes full of worry.
After 37 years, what happened in the Tiannan Grottoes this time?
…
At this moment, in the Tiannan Cave.
“Buzz!” “Buzz!” “Buzz!”
The sound of flapping wings and chirping was chaotic and noisy, making people tremble. The overwhelming green mantises came from all directions.
At this time——
“Rip!”
A thick purple electric light suddenly lit up.
“Rip!”
Densely packed, purple electric flashes instantly illuminated the dark sky and earth, twisting and radiating like electric snakes, one after another across the sky.
"Damn it!" an angry roar was heard.
Boom!
In the center of the area covered by the green mantis, a purple airflow suddenly spread out, with electric snakes flowing in it, which was clearly a field of thunder and lightning.
The pervasive area of thunder and lightning continued to expand, and bolts of lightning were struck one after another, and for a moment it sounded like the roar of a dragon or a tiger.
In just a moment, the sky and the earth were filled with electric snakes, and a large number of low-level green mantises were directly turned into powder under the electric light.
"Boom!" A tall and burly figure suddenly jumped out from the insect swarm, his eyes were cold and his brows were tightly furrowed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The overwhelming number of green mantises, either coming from the ground or flying, began to surround him in an orderly manner and strangle him.
Faintly, one can see that there are red crustaceans contained in it.
"Am I so unlucky?" His face changed drastically. "This time when I came out to explore, I actually encountered a group of blood mantises, and even one of them was a cosmic-level blood mantis!"
"The blood mantis's fighting power is stronger than the green mantis, but that's not a big deal. The most important thing is its leadership ability."
This man's name is Luo Ke Di, nicknamed "Thunder Lion". He was born in the Luo family of Yangzhou City and is the ninth-generation grandson of Luo Feng. He has the strength of the second-level cosmic grade. He possessed a domain when he was at the stellar level and is now at the third level of his domain.
In today's Earth, he can definitely be considered a master.
The official names of Green Mantis and Blood Mantis on Earth are "Cave Creatures" and "Cave Leaders" , but for the sake of convenience, many warriors simply named them according to their appearance and guessed their real names directly.
With Rock Di's strength of the second-level universe grade, he has nothing to fear from the stellar and planetary-level green mantis swarm.
However, the cosmic-level blood mantis hidden among them was like a thorn in his side, which made him dare not be careless at all.
"Hurry up and ask for help!" Luo Kedi licked his lips, his expression slightly changed. "The appearance of a cosmic-level blood mantis is not a good sign. The last time a group of cosmic-level green mantises appeared in the Kirishima Cave, there was no blood mantis. If another group pops up now, under the leadership of the blood mantis, my life will be over."
This cave world is vast and endless, and the deeper you explore, the more powerful the cave creatures roaming inside become, and the more precious the treasures they contain become.
This time, Luo Ke Di explored the cave world as usual, but encountered a cosmic-level blood mantis. He was so scared that he activated the first-level alarm, ordered the warriors and troops in the cave world to evacuate quickly, and asked for help from other cosmic-level powerhouses on Earth.
This is no joke.
"kill!"
He held a purple-black sword in his hand, the blade of which was wrapped in electric snakes. Facing the surging swarm of insects, he began a terrible killing spree, penetrating the entire swarm again and again, killing one green mantis after another.
But……
"Crackling, crackling!" A green mantis with half of its body cut off by a purple-black sword was actually biting some of the mutilated green mantis corpses nearby. As it devoured them, these green mantises recovered quickly, and even their aura became stronger.
"Not good." Luo Kedi suddenly remembered something, "These cave creatures can devour the corpses of their own kind to evolve!"
If it were under normal circumstances, there would be no need to worry. The number of corpses that need to be devoured to evolve from stellar level to cosmic level is extremely large. But now with the appearance of a cosmic-level blood mantis, all the surrounding green mantises flocked over.
In this constant fighting, it is very likely that an astonishing number of cosmic-level green mantises will be cultivated.
"Damn it, damn it!" Luo Kedi's eyes turned red. He didn't dare to wait here for help from other powerful people on Earth. He just wanted to break through.
But for a second-level cosmic-level being facing such a scenario, it is already difficult for him to protect himself, let alone break through.
20 minutes later!
"We're in big trouble." Luo Kedi's face turned pale, with wounds all over it and his pupils trembling.
Buzz buzz buzz...
The swarm of insects suddenly dispersed, and a blood mantis with a red shell vibrated its translucent wings behind it. Its aura was extremely powerful. It was obviously the cosmic-level blood mantis encountered before, and it was no longer hiding.
Behind it.
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
“Buzz!”
After such a long battle, 7 cosmic-level green mantises have evolved, and they are as united as one under the leadership of the blood mantis.
According to his experience, seven green mantises led by a blood mantis are more terrifying than seventy of them. With the blood mantis acting as the spearhead, Luo Ke Di suddenly felt that he was in big trouble .
"Kill!" Luo Kedi gritted his teeth and had to fight!
…
Just five minutes later, Rock's right arm was broken, his face was pale, and even his Force was greatly consumed. In this battle, he only killed one green mantis.
This is still relying on the advantages of his weapons and secret techniques.
"I should have known I shouldn't have listened to my dad and practiced martial arts. Really, my childhood wish was to marry 100 wives..."
Facing the overwhelming swarm of cave creatures that were madly surrounding and attacking him from all directions, Rockdi seemed to see himself being devoured into ashes.
At this moment, he felt relieved.
"Even if I die, I'll kill more!"
Luo Kedi's eyes turned red.
He simply held the knife in his left hand and fought against the swarm of green mantis insects. Dense electric lights were flowing between heaven and earth.
"It's over." He slowly closed his eyes, and he could see with his peripheral vision... the cosmic-level blood mantis's forelimbs as sharp as a sword slashing towards his head.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...
He opened his eyes suddenly, it was not over yet.
"boom!"
A grand and warm sword light lingered in the dark sky for a long time, stretching for thousands of meters.
Within this range, all the creatures in the cave were wiped out, even those cosmic-level green mantises and blood mantises were all killed by this sword!
"How is this possible?"
Luo Kedi looked at the sword light and suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes full of shock: "The law of the origin of light, could this be the law of the origin of light... There are people on Earth who have already stepped into the threshold of the law?"
According to the knowledge of cultivation he knew, one had to reach the eighth or ninth level of the realm before one could begin to sense the vague fluctuations of the laws and begin to comprehend the laws.
Even so, it is still extremely difficult to cross the threshold of the law.
And now someone has actually taken this step?
This was something that Luo Kedi, one of the most powerful people on Earth, had never thought of. Could it be that... the ancestors had returned from the universe?
When Luo Kedi looked up, he saw a figure standing in mid-air.
He was wearing silver armor with ancient patterns painted on it and a helmet on his head. Only a pair of light golden eyes could be seen, as warm as the sun.
In his right hand he held a simple black heavy sword, which looked intimidating.
"...Stellar level nine!" Luo Ke Di was stunned.
This guy who killed seven cosmic-level cave creatures with one sword and seemed to have stepped into the threshold of the law of light is actually only at the ninth level of the star level?
How is that possible?
Just as he was about to speak, the mysterious man in silver armor turned his head, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared from his sight in an instant.
Who, who is this person?
…
After the mysterious man left, he soon appeared two thousand kilometers away.
He took off his silver battle armor, revealing his young face, as if he was still just a teenager. A set of military combat equipment appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he began to put it on. The rank symbol on his body proved that he was a colonel.
After the boy changed his equipment and weapons, it was obvious that he was carrying a space storage device.
suddenly--
A figure walked out from behind him.
The man was dressed in black, with bright eyes. He looked at the young man and opened his mouth, but seemed to feel unbelievable and hesitated to speak.
"Huh?" The young man was very alert and quickly noticed the man's presence.
Instantly, he looked a little surprised and said hesitantly: "You are...Uncle Luo?"
Luo Feng burst into laughter, looked at the young man, and said, "I'm Luo Feng, can you tell me your name?"
The boy looked at the uncle whom he had seen in the video recording, and felt a little curious.
He said slowly: "My name is Lin Xiao."
"Lin Yan's 'Lin'!"
