538 Cole's Ancestor
~.-~ "Fortunately we are bringing a mage, so we don't need to light open flames, otherwise..."
He lifted one foot infinitely, and a sticky substance was pulled under his feet, which seemed to be some kind of dry, almost asphalt black oil. Not only in the large wooden barrel, but also in the floor in the foyer was covered with a thick layer. Since the surface was covered with dust, it was impossible to see if you didn't pay attention.
Wutong squatted down, dipped her fingers into black oil, rubbed them and felt the viscosity, then put them under her nose and sniffed them, and said in surprise: "Is this oil?"
Everyone was stunned. Yes, in the fantasy online game "Endless", the appearance of chemical raw materials such as petroleum does make people feel a little abrupt, but this thing does exist in the world of "Endless", but this thing is not widely used, and a small amount exists in the alchemist's laboratory.
However, in the context of the "steampunk civilization" of ancient higher gnomes, it is reasonable that oil exists in the Earth Spirit Hall. However, in the context of "Endlessness", its name is not oil, but is called "black turtle oil" by higher gnomes, and "demonic blood" by some religious figures, and "burning water" by alchemists and wizards.
If you are careful, players can actually find many things similar to what exists in reality in "Endless". After all, the content of "Endless" comes from reality, but is higher than reality.
The civilization background of "Encounter" almost contains the content of all civilizations in the world from ancient times to the present... As long as the civilization still has descendants and is also playing "Encounter", as long as he joins "Encounter", he will automatically add the cultural background of his civilization and nation to the world of "Encounter" and myths and legends. This can be seen from "Encounter" that almost contains the divine systems, ghosts, and strange beasts of civilizations in the world.
Of course, in "Enlightenment", these real existences are just prototypes, and will change and modify some in the game. After all, in "Enlightenment", it describes another completely different world. If it is exactly the same, this game should be called "Civilization" but not "Enlightenment".
"It seems that there should be a lot of machines in this spiritual hall that use 'black turtle oil', so be careful."
Wutong wiped her fingers and saw that the wanderers had searched the hall, but found nothing. After a casual reminder, the team planned to continue exploring the depths of the temple. They had to seize the time. When the temple was opened, they were delayed a lot of time, and there was not much time ahead of other participating teams.
There were only two passages in and out of the foyer. Just as they were about to leave, Pea, who was responsible for exploring the way in the front, suddenly stopped, carefully observed the ground, and suddenly made several gestures backwards. The other wanderers scattered around all held their weapons tightly. Without warning, everyone could know that Pea should have found the traces of the monster.
"What is it? Goblin?"
Xiao San retreated to the rear, changed from the main team to the substitute team, and gave up the combat position. Wutong also took out the staff and asked casually.
"It's not a goblin, it seems to be some kind of beast."
Xiao San shook his head, shook his delicate nose and said, "There is an unpleasant and strange smell here. My olfactory talent is blocked, and I can't tell what kind of creature it is."
Because of the leakage of a large amount of black turmeric oil in the foyer, although it had been a long time, the passage was still filled with a strange and pungent volatile smell, which made Xiao San lose his talent as a beast-turned human race.
Perhaps the light technique released by Wutong was too bright, which made the creatures hidden in the dark a little afraid. The team walked in the passage for a while. They didn't encounter any attacks, but in the empty underground world, there were always some rustling sounds, which made people feel a little furious.
Some parts of the walls of the passage collapsed, and mud mixed with gravel accumulated under the corners of the walls. The huge cave exposed on the wall was so dark that it was unknown where it led. A passage hundreds of meters long, the walls and the ground were distributed in dozens of places.-
The team moved forward carefully. Something seemed to be peeping at them in the caves on the walls of the passages around them, but they were still dormant. It was obvious that they did not dare to attack this strong team easily, and Wutong and the others did not disturb the guys hiding in the cave. Their main purpose was to explore this spiritual temple, rather than to fight. If they could avoid fighting, they would try to avoid fighting.
After passing this long passage smoothly, the team officially stepped into the first underground hall of the Earth Spirit Hall. When everyone stepped on the ground of the hall, they didn't know what the wanderers in front of them had touched. The lamp holders on the walls and columns in the hall suddenly ignited one by one. In a quiet environment, some kind of hidden behind the wall could even be heard rotating in the bones, injecting the stored fishman oil into the dry lamp holder, and fire came out to ignite the very resistant fishman oil.
There are twelve thick stone pillars in the hall to support the dome. Not only are there no ordinary temple decorations between the pillars, but there are a lot of things that are not known for what to do. They are covered by dust and cannot see their original appearance. At first glance, they look like graves.
"Be careful of your feet, don't step on the places where lime powder is sprinkled."
The peas and infinity, hammer in front are constantly sprinkled with some white ash in their hands. They should be lime powder, leaving clear gray circles on the ground. You don’t need to guess which ones should be traps.
There are some human-shaped sculptures standing around the hall... Just like the ones Wutong and the others have seen in the geological alchemy laboratory, most of which have collapsed in rust, but some are still in good condition, and no one thinks they are just decorations.
These people, which are more than three meters tall, look very thick and solid, and are wrapped in armor, are very consistent with the size of goblins. Including Wutong, they all agreed that they can not disturb them, and it is best not to disturb them. Even if these guards have been eroded for thousands of years, they may still maintain amazing combat power.
Infinite pointed to a "grave" between every two pillars, and frowned and said, "If we want to pass through this hall, we must go directly from the middle. If we walk on both sides, we may alarm these steel statues."
The area where they are active is just a small piece near the entrance of the passage, and the positions on both sides are directly drawn by wanderers with lime powder. Obviously, once they cross the cordon, it is very likely that the sleeping temple guards will be alarmed.
Fortunately, this is not a production area in the Geosynthetic Laboratory. The number of steel statues used to guard the Earth Spirit Hall is limited. Most of the time, their function is only used as decorations. After thousands of years of rust, it is hard to say how many of them can move, but even if only one can move, no one wants to provoke them.
"These are not Aoxiang. These are mechanical puppets!"
Wutong is a person who has studied the construction technology for a period of time. Of course, he can see the destructive power that these seemingly rusty iron lumps should have. From the giant axe installed on their thick arms, the giant hammer can be seen that even the highest barrier warriors who are so fat that they fall into the sky, they cannot withstand the opponent's attack.
However, these large iron blocks are not so-called "Amazing" at all, but are just mechanical puppets derived from another technology!
Unlimitedly: "Isn't these ghosts also in the mechanical hall of the goblin laboratory?"
"Different! The 'Auspicious Image' is an automatic device built from the power of the Auspicious Image. Making the Auspicious Image usually involves profound Auspicious Knowledge and the use of powerful elemental power..."
Wutong is not as uncommon as it was at that time: "I can't explain clearly for a while. You just need to know that the reason why the Aoxiang moves and can understand the command and obey the master's command is because they have souls, and the 'puppets' are the most basic mechanical objects constructed through technical means such as alchemy, enchantment, and runes. Their properties are closer to the robots in reality, and the Aoxiang... can barely be regarded as low-level intelligent robots."
Unlimited speechless: "Is there any difference? It looks the same?"
"There is a zone~~-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wutong explained a few simple words. Thinking of his experience in the terrestrial alchemy laboratory, he looked up at the sky in the hall and suggested: "Will we pass by?" Those gray grave bags don't seem to be a good way. It's no safer to pass through the middle than to pass through both sides.
Hammer looked up and nodded, "Crawl over with adsorbent glue? We can, but they can't do hammer and double-headed, their weight..."
Hammer suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him was a mage who could shrink his skills, and nodded speechlessly: "You can try it."
Wanderers don’t have to worry about Wutong. Flying the eaves and walls is their own business. Who would not have props such as adsorbent glue, spider scrolls, climbing rings, gecko gloves, etc. In order to ensure safety, Wutong released the reduction technique on the big guys, reducing their weight, and asked them to tie everyone together with ropes to prevent anyone from falling.
Trying to climb the wall, everyone slowly moved like a group of spiders strung together (--the fastest updated house), passing through the hall, which was obviously safer than walking through the center of the graves. Although the sycamore tree could completely allow the flying Salas, Bussomisi and others to help bring everyone over, due to the large number of people, it is better to climb slowly to come.
But when they climbed halfway, which was located in the front of the hall, suddenly there were loud shouts, monsters roars and fighting sounds in the passage. Wutong and the others looked up and saw a steady stream of people, mixed with huge creatures, rushing out of the passage in panic!
"I'll kill you! It's a rat!"
Those creatures that were larger than the giant rats seen in Wutong turned out to be some kind of ancient rat species. The big ones were a bit unreasonable, and they were extremely fierce in the crowd!
Now Wutong and the others knew what creatures were hidden in the huge caves in the passage just now. These players were not teams under Wutong's name. Wulin used lime powder traps to mark the way for those teams behind. As early as when Wutong and the others entered the underground temple, they had already notified them to wait a moment before coming in.
These players obviously rushed to the competition team first and found that the Earth Spirit Hall had been opened. They were worried that the good things inside would be plundered, so they rushed in recklessly, which alarmed the terrifying rats hiding in the cave.
It is different from Wutong and the other players. There are also 1st-level members among these players. The same 2nd-level terrifying rats will not be afraid of them. A large group of people rushed into the territories of the terrifying rats in a mess, and drilled into the holes when they saw them. It would be strange if they were not attacked.
Wutong, who was hanging upside down in the sky of the hall, stared at the group of rash ghosts and fighting with a large group of horror rats. The drawn trap marks were directly ignored by them... or they had no time to watch the marks. Horror rats are a second-level creatures that are more vicious than ferocious rats. They are bigger in size, more fierce and cruel in character, and have higher attacks. They just bite a few times. Many players screamed and flew with blood and blood.
There were quite a few players in this wave, but since they were not the same force, they were completely like a mess. In a panic, they could not organize effective battles at all. They were rushed by a large group of terror, and they were directly in chaos.
What's even more exciting is that as a large group of players rushed into the hall without thinking, they actually activated the steel golems around the hall... Maybe these players had never encountered such monsters. They ignored them and ran over from the giant armor that looked just decorative. Then they were stepped on by the suddenly activated steel golem and turned into meat scraps.
The sound of metal friction sounded in the entire hall, although only a few dozen of the hundreds of steel golems in the hall were moving, and nearly half of them just stepped down from the standing base and shattered into a pile of broken copper and iron. For too long, the mechanisms and connecting devices in their bodies could no longer bear the weight of their bodies.
However, the remaining twenty or thirty steel golems still exerted their due power. Their arms, as high as three meters, and even multiple arms are installed with huge weapons at the siege equipment level. They do not need to be deliberately attacked. The power brought by random waving is enough to smash the player they touch into a bunch of flesh and blood.
After all, the teams participating in the qualifying match are all elite teams. Although they are at an extremely unfavorable disadvantage, no one gives up and is still fighting hard, using their flexibility and changeable fighting style to fight against the slow-moving steel golems.
Some people began to surround the terrifying rats. Wutong saw a wanderer flexibly leading a terrifying rat chasing him to a steel golem. After steadily avoiding the slash of an axe on the steel golem's arm, it rolled and jumped up, rushing through the rusty steel golem, and led the terrifying rat to pounce on him as the body of the steel golem. Then, with a huge knife arc, the unlucky rat was cut in half by the steel golem. The splashed flesh and sticky internal organs covered the boss's ground blurredly.
"Damn it! Let's go!"
While the crowd in the sky was not discovered by the players below, the fear rats and the puppets, Wutong called out and quickly climbed to the passage at the end of the hall, because he saw some players who were forced by the fear rats to run towards the center of the hall. Don’t they think that those dusty graves are not safer than puppets?
Before Wutong and others could climb to the destination, a player was thrown down by a huge terror rat and hit a grave heavily. In the dust, a piece of dusty linoleum was pulled down by them, revealing the object shrouded under the linoleum...
It was a strange-shaped machine, which looked like a large iron plate filled with iron pipes. There were also unknown pipes and gear machines connected below. The player who hit this machine was obviously dead and could not die anymore, and half of his body had been torn to pieces by the fear of rats!
But before the fearful rats were feasting, the machine made a "knock" sound of gear hitting. Gears of all sizes bite and rotated, causing the large iron disk on the surface to rotate rapidly. The iron tube of the iron disk fist made a "puff" sound of air splashing. Soon, black turbulent oil was spinning and sprayed out like a high-pressure faucet!
"Run quickly!" Wutong was shocked when she saw it. She roared without notice, took off the adsorbent glue, jumped down from the wall that was more than ten meters away from the ground. She moved a little before landing and rushed into the passage. Others also rolled and crawled behind and rushed into the passage!
With a "boom!", the scorching flames surged into the passage, but were blocked by Wutong, who rushed into the passage first and prepared for the passage, using the secondary deflection force field to replace the people who were barely rushing into the passage!
The shrill screams of players in the flames and the wailing of the terrified rats came from the hall that had turned into a sea of fire. The people who escaped by chance looked at each other. The fun was so great that they were blocked at most the way back. However, the team of players who wanted to enter the Earth Spirit Hall later could only enter the mouse caves of the terrified rats and follow the rat holes that were connected to the maze to find the way to enter the depths of the temple! To be continued...
