404 A false alarm
Catherine was the first to spot the robot puppet snail below. After taking a closer look, the female mage realized that something was wrong, and immediately beckoned the Ice Bear Abyss to look down.
The Sacred Mountain shaman stared twice and said, "If they come up, we will probably be in trouble." ”
It turned out that on the huge iron box behind the snail, there stood a horse-shaped robot puppet and a humanoid robot puppet. It seems that they are two of the several robot puppets that talked to the head of the robot dragon before and looked like living creatures. They didn't know what they were talking about at the moment, and the humanoid robot puppet kept pointing above it, as if it was the robot puppet snail carried by Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss.
"We're not going to find out, are we?" said Catherine, frowning.
"It's hard to say. Ice Bear Abyss's tone was not very sure, "Let's see if they will catch up and check." ”
"What if you're coming?" asked Catherine as the two robot golems spread their mechanical wings and flew in the direction of the two of them.
"The fight may not be avoidable. Ice Bear Abyss sighed, "The way I fight in the Ultimate Domain is to rely on direct physical attacks, and when I fight for a while, I can stand up to the front." ”
Catherine thought for a few seconds, pulling the bullseye-eyed demonic instinct of the steel ball from her chest. "I rely on this. I also know how to do soul magic, but I don't know if it's useful for this kind of golem. ”
"Then don't try magic, and if you can without releasing the bull's eye, don't let it be exposed. The Ice Bear Abyss glanced up at the top of the deep well-like vertical cavern, "The bull's eye is too noticeable to say that there are no other watchers here. ”
Fortunately, the two robot puppets didn't fly very fast, and Catherine and the two still had enough time to discuss.
"Why don't you try to talk to them first?" said the female mage, staring at the two robot golems that were slowly flying towards her, "These guys can fly, and we don't have much advantage in a real fight." ”
"You can try. Ice Bear Abyss agreed, and after saying that, his appearance changed, the robes on his body disappeared, revealing steely muscles, and his face became younger, with sharp edges and corners, and in an instant, he turned into a barbarian warrior in the prime of life.
Catherine also changed her mind, and the clothes on her body changed into a neat samurai uniform, including the color of the clothes became closer to the color of the snail's back shell. Although she doesn't know combat skills, she doesn't have the drag of a mage robe, so she can at least be more flexible when she really fights.
The shaman of Mount Kinabalu nodded slightly at the choice of the female mage, and then motioned for Catherine to move diagonally behind her. The two walked one after the other, and pulled away for a while.
The two robot golems finally catch up and land together on the large iron box that the robot puppet snail hauls.
Catherine clenched the soul shackles in her hands, and the ice bear abyss in front of her quietly bent her legs and stepped on the snail's back shell, which seemed to be ready to burst out at any moment.
Surprisingly, the two robot golems did not look at the snail's back, but instead opened a lid on the large iron box. The humanoid robot golem burrowed into the box and pulled out two sets of parts at a time, and he talked to the horse-shaped robot golem as he assembled them.
Catherine stared intently at what was in the hands of the humanoid machine puppet. It seemed to be a special kind of alchemical object, with rings of different sizes set around each other, and finally an iron pipe the thickness of a wrist was inserted in the middle, forming a cone-shaped metal device with a long front and a thick back.
The humanoid robot puppet assembles two pieces in one go. One is on the larger side, and the other is half smaller. He held the large device in his hands and held it up to the chest of the horse-shaped machine golem. A gap suddenly opened in the horse-shaped machine puppet's chest, and three round pipes protruded. The humanoid robot golem squeezed hard and plugged the large device into it.
The horse-shaped machine puppet screamed, and several rings on the chest device turned twice, making two "click" sounds. After hearing two sounds, the red light in the eyes of the humanoid robot puppet flashed violently, and he took out a square piece of iron and inserted it into a groove in the device on the horse-shaped machine puppet's chest.
The horse-shaped machine puppet nodded, facing the air opposite, its chest lit up and went out, followed by a "boom", and a spark burst out from the opposite cave wall.
Catherine lay there startled by the sound, and at first thought it was some kind of weapon. The sparks on the opposite cave wall were probably caused by something hit by the weapon on the chest of the horse-shaped machine puppet. It's hard to say how powerful it is, but the speed and range are already impressive. Catherine estimated that the entire vertical cavern was more than two hundred meters in diameter, almost instantaneous, and the speed was far greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows, even if it was a hand crossbow in range.
The humanoid robot golem looked around for a moment, seemed satisfied, and slung another trumpet device to its chest. He also shot at the opposite wall of the cave, but no sparks were fired, most likely with a device with a lower range than the horse-shaped machine puppet.
The two robot golems wore their devices, talked a few more words, and then flapped their wings and flew down the cavern. They were flying much slower than they had come, and Catherine guessed that the extra weight of the two weapons was responsible.
Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss lay on the snail's back and didn't move, waiting for the two robot golems to fly to the bottom of the cave and disappear before they reunited. The ice bear abyss just now was also in his eyes, and he proposed to go to the big iron box to see what was going on, and find some weapons by the way.
Catherine was also very curious about the alchemical weapon device, so she jumped with the Ice Bear Abyss onto the large iron box dragged by the robot puppet snail.
Sure enough, there was a square lid on the big iron box, and the Ice Bear Abyss turned the handle on it to lift the lid. There was a metal ladder under the lid, and the ice bear abyss's body changed to make him look much thinner, so he climbed down first. Catherine followed him and climbed into the big iron box.
It was very dark in the large iron box, and Catherine shook herself and changed into a cloak that glowed on its own. Rows of iron frames appeared in front of him, and various parts were placed in an orderly manner.
Catherine saw at a glance the set of parts that the humanoid machine puppet had taken out, and the entire set was concentrated on the iron frame on her right. The Ice Bear Abyss was also glowing, but he had already reached into the depths of the iron box.
The female mage didn't bother with the shaman of Mount Kinaba, but just wandered around the iron frame and soon found several boxes of square pieces of iron. In fact, it was not a pure piece of iron, but a metal ball embedded in the center of the iron block. Square pieces of iron come in both large and small sizes, at least three different sizes.
The Ice Bear Abyss touched it back again, carrying a strangely shaped broad-bladed flat-headed thick-backed knife, with a blade and a handle half a meter long. "This knife has a really good texture, I haven't used it for a while. He slashed at the air with a knife in both hands, making a "buzzing" sound.
