Chapter Ninety-Nine: Entering the City
The human mind is like this dense forest, dark and deep, and no light can shine directly into it, and it wants to know what is there, unless something in the dark corner jumps out of itself.
If not, who can know the waves under the heart lake.
Walking on the bluestone-paved path, Gao Zhulong pointed to a few shadowy places and pointed out the puppet guards lurking in them.
This made the few people who couldn't see the puppet guards panic, anyone who knew that next to their body, there were things that they couldn't see silently watching them, they would be a little panicked, not to mention, those things were still aggressive.
It's better to make those things visible, even if they are to surround him and beat him together, it is better than being scared like this.
Fang Ru thought so, fortunately he had a sword in his hand, otherwise he wouldn't even have the last bit of confidence.
This dense forest is just the outer greenery of the city, not very big, plus there is a high dragon to lead the way, and it didn't take long to come out.
After exiting the dense forest, the bluestone path did not end, but continued to pave forward.
Looking along this road, there is a large castle that is not inferior to the ice city in terms of momentum.
Between them and the city, there was an artificial lake, and the bluestone path ended in front of the artificial lake, connected to a small stone bridge.
"This city is about one-third the size of an ice city. Gao Baolong took the lead and walked up the small stone bridge, slowly moving forward.
He continued: "From here, further on, you will meet the true defenders of this city, the real soldiers who can distinguish friend from foe. ”
"Real soldiers, weren't they those who were in the woods before? Didn't they say that you two were beaten badly?"
Fang Ru deserved to be a fool, and he opened his mouth to reveal the scars of the Gao brothers.
Gao Baohu rolled his eyes, and said that he couldn't accept Fang Ru's words, but this person asked seriously, and he still replied patiently: "At the beginning, we were also new to the division realm, and we didn't have the current strength, and later we also analyzed their strength, compared with the regular soldiers in the city, the gap is very big!"
Later, we got some information about the city, and according to the description, the puppet guards in the forest were actually forest rangers and gardeners who pruned the foliage...... This is also known as the ...... of handymen"
What?ranger?gardener?handyman?
This was the first time I had heard the Gao brothers mention the specifics of that encounter.
"That is to say, it is equivalent to the miscellaneous servants of this city, and it sounds so good. Fang Ru spoke again, "Even the miscellaneous servants are so powerful, so how strong should this regular soldier be." ”
"How strong?" Gao Baohu squinted at Fang Ru, "It's probably about the same as you, single strength." ”
"Single strength, that is, it can fight in a team, but it's normal, after all, it's a guard trained by the peak boss of the Venerable Realm. The Heavenly Spirit chimed in.
Probably knowing that Fang Ru was a straightforward person, because this anger was indeed a little cautious, Gao Baohu's tone was calmer: "They are generally in groups of three, each soldier wears two spear weapons, one long and one short, carrying more than two daggers, wearing armor all over his body, and a set of three-person formations. ”
"Those two spear weapons can be used as spears, and they can also shoot energy beams, but not all soldiers can, I have observed, there are some spear weapons with crystals embedded in the middle, then they can shoot energy beams, and vice versa. ”
"Their hand-to-hand combat ability is very strong, probably equivalent to the peak of the division realm, maybe because they are puppets, their thinking mode is relatively rigid, if they can break up their three-person formation, it is easy to deal with. ”
As he walked, he told everyone about the soldiers in the city.
After getting off the stone bridge, there is a huge square with several broken sculptures in the middle of the square.
After bypassing the ruined sculptures, we came to the gate of the city.
For some unknown reason, the gates of the city were wide open, revealing a long passageway.
"Everyone, pause. Gao Baolong raised his hand in front of the city gate and stopped everyone's steps.
He took off the tiger-headed spear from his back, held it in his hand, and said solemnly: "There is a very important thing to tell you. ”
"The end of this passage is not what you think, directly into the interior of the city, but will be wrapped in irresistible strange energy, and then it will be teleported to different areas of the city, these areas are different levels of danger, and the place where we were teleported was relatively safe.
This is why we are today, if we were rumored to be heavily guarded, then there would be no now, and there can't be only one kind of soldier in this city, just say that the superiors of these soldiers have not seen it. ”
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly don't want to go......" Fang Ru broke into a cold sweat, he suddenly realized that if he followed these people, with his strength, he would be able to protect himself, but if he was really separated and teleported to the thief's den......
"Don't listen to what my eldest brother said, how can it be so exaggerated, those puppet soldiers all need energy support, when we came in, there were many soldiers who couldn't move because of lack of energy.
Gao Baohu persuaded him: "Those spear-like weapons are the same reason, they can only be used as iron rods without energy, and besides, after a few years, there may not be many people in the city who can move." ”
"If it's powered by the energy used, then why do you feel the same breath as the heavenly spirit?" Jiu Luo caught the point from their conversation.
"I can't say this for sure, but that's how the guard we met when our brothers first entered here. ”
Gao Baohu frowned, and began to recall the original encounter in his mind, but strangely, the more he wanted to remember, the more difficult it was to remember.
Moreover, when he recalled the critical moment, his head felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and the pain was unbearable, which made him unbearable, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Gao Baolong saw his brother's abnormality and asked, "Baohu, what's wrong with you?"
"Headache, I suddenly can't remember the guard we met back then!"
Gao Baohu told the truth.
When Gao Baolong heard this, he immediately went to recall, and after a while, he also held his forehead with his hand, and like his younger brother, he couldn't recall!
"What's going on? I can remember the details before I entered here, I remember...... Sizzle...... I can't think about it at all!"
Gao Raider's subconscious thoughts will bring severe pain!
"Stop remembering the events, you have been manipulated in your mind, the means are simple, but they are also very effective. Jiu Luo saw the situation of the Gao brothers and prevented them from continuing to reminisce.
"It seems that the guard you met at the beginning was not an ordinary handyman, but far beyond the level of the soldiers in this city, because if you want to feel the breath of the heavenly spirit, a puppet of that level is hard to find. ”
Jiu Luo exchanged views with Tian Ling without a trace, there must be someone in this who did something, but I don't know which side it is, is it Ao Jiuying?
"You can only get an answer if you go into the city, and you can never get an answer by wandering in front of the door, so let's go in. The fox said.
"Good. ”
A few people felt that this was reasonable, anyway, they were all bold guys, and none of the people present were good at stubble, and none of them were covered with blood.
The difference is that most of them kill enemies on the battlefield, and there is no extreme behavior of indiscriminate killing and killing to vent anger.
The Gao brothers took the lead and entered the passage of the city gate, and the people behind saw that the backs of the two were blurred, and when they looked again, the people were gone.
"I'll do it next. Xingyang walked out.
Naturally, the crowd will not object.
He, like the Gao brothers, disappeared after entering the passage in the city, and his back blurred.
"It's peculiar, even if there is no gain, it is worth the trip. ”
"Then let's go together. ”
Hundreds of miles of smoke and clouds and foxes did not give up, and walked in with the pace.
Fang Ru was no longer entangled at this time, he had come to the Northern Regions to train himself, this was a rare opportunity.
"Big brother, I'm going to ......"
"Go ahead, there's nothing to worry about. Jiuluo's calm expression and tone made Fang Ru feel at ease a little.
When Fang Ru's back disappeared, only Tianling and Jiuluo remained.
"Master, what do you think?"
"I'm 100% sure that this city is from outside the sky, if it weren't for the magic energy technology inside, I would think that it was brought by Ao Jiuying, and the so-called peak boss of the Zun Realm was another vest of the nine-headed dragon. ”
"The asymmetry of information is the key to the master's disadvantage. Tian Ling calmly analyzed the current situation, "Through the current encounter, there are at least three clones that Ao Jiuying can determine, each of which has a lot of power, and our helper has always been at a disadvantage, otherwise he wouldn't need to ask for our help."
This city should be a means of dealing with the helpers left, Ao Jiuying noticed this, and has already laid a trap, master, this scene cannot be missed no matter what. ”
Jiu Luo deeply understood Tianling's words, he understood how passive the information asymmetry was, just like the puppet guards in the dense forest, understanding and not understanding were completely different feelings.
Fang Ru actually had the most say in this point, he had been worried about the invisible guard for a long time.
"All dangers come from the unknown, which is also the reason why Ao Jiuying has never dared to appear in front of me in front of him, if it weren't for his fear that I would retrieve the origin power, I don't know how long he would continue to hide. ”
"Speaking of which, the influence of the Heavenly Dance on the Heavenly Spirit's personality has been eliminated, right?" Jiu Luo's mind suddenly jumped.
"Master, don't worry about this......" Tianling slapped his head with his hand, and said helplessly.
"Hahaha, let's go. ”
After laughing for a while, the two also walked into the passage of the city gate.
Just before the two of them disappeared, Jiu Luo suddenly sensed something and glanced back at the stone bridge.
On the stone bridge, which was originally empty, a black figure stood.
Before he had time to take a closer look, a burst of strange energy enveloped him, and then the whole person was like being thrown into a spiral slide, and his body and consciousness began to rotate and slide continuously, with his strength, he couldn't resist!
......
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, and Jiu Luo suddenly woke up, and his soul sense instantly swept over himself and his surroundings.
A small room, I was lying on the bed, my body was normal, and my clothes showed no signs of passing.
The house has no windows, only a wooden door, and at this time, there is a knock on the wooden door.
After Jiu Luo understood his situation, he slowly got up from the bed, he sat up unhurriedly, then stood up and walked towards the wooden door.
During this time, he passed a round wooden table with tea and a note on it.
Picking up the note, he found it reading: Don't open the door......!
The back of the word will be smeared with a black stain and cannot be seen.
"What is this?Sudden supernatural event?" Jiu Luo picked up the note and crumpled it into a ball.
Could it be that after the door is opened, there will be a door to kill? He thought so, and walked to the door, holding the handle of the wooden door.
Then he realized, how can there be all-wooden houses in a city with a sense of technology? Shouldn't they all be magical creatures?
Thinking of this, he put down the hand that shook the doorknob.
Knock knock.
Knock knock knock......
The knock on the door was reluctant, and I don't know if I knew that there was someone standing behind the door, and the knocker outside the door worked harder.
The knock on the door has been three times, a light knock.
The strength has not changed, but the intervals are getting shorter and shorter.
"It's boring. ”
The gray mist spread silently, and the world in Jiuluo's eyes began to change.
The wooden house began to fade away, replaced by a gloomy room surrounded by broken glass curtain walls and some pipes for energy transmission.
In front of Jiuluo, there was a metal door with a hole in it.
Outside the door, a humanoid creature in black armor was knocking on the broken door with a short spear.
His eyes were as red as the Celestial Spirit, but there was no movement in them, but they were all chaos.
This should be the soldier that the Gao brothers are talking about.
Jiu Luo recognized this guy by the two black metal spears in his hand, one long and one short.
There is no spar in the middle of the metal spear, so it should not emit an energy beam.
But why did this guard knock on the door here instead of attacking?
Why did this room look like a wooden house?
Yes, Jiu Luo destroyed this house through the release of the ash source, but it was not a fantasy as he thought, but a wooden structure disguised as using some technical means.
In fact, it is all those glass curtain walls and the pipes behind them that are projected through the setting.
Jiu Luo couldn't figure it out, but he opened the door with his hand.
"Zizi...... Please go to the ...... quickly Zizi ...... Control...... Zizi. ”
When the soldier saw Jiu Luo open the door, he stopped knocking on the door, and instead turned to the side to give a notice.
"Control room?" Jiu Luo was a little puzzled.
He opened the lumpy note in his palm, only to find that the words on the note had changed.
The words that originally read, "Don't open the door, you'll ......" are gone, replaced by: It's too late, run away.
"Pretending to be a ghost. ”
Jiu Luo balled the note again, slipped it into his pocket, and walked out of the room.
And after he walked out of the room, the black-armored soldier standing in the doorway suddenly had red eyes.
"Zizi...... Personnel Identification ...... Zizi ...... Identify errors and start reparing...... Zizi, compare the failures......" The long and short spear in the hand of the black-armored soldier was raised.
Boom –
With a bang, Jiu Luo slapped his backhand when the black-armored soldier just made a move.
The slap with the power of the vast palm directly slapped the black-armored soldier into scrap iron.
"Zizi...... Verified to pass...... Please go to the ...... quickly Control...... Zizi ......"
The vitality of this black-armored soldier is very tenacious, and when his body is destroyed, he also gives a command, and then the red light in his eyes is extinguished.
"Okay, I'll help you fulfill your last wish, let's go to the control room and have a look. ”。
With that, he didn't care whether the black-armored soldier was alive or dead, and followed the road signs and went to the control room.
