With a massive building covering an area of more than two million square meters, Locks couldn't contain his excitement. Looking at the building in front of you, it seems that you have seen the moment when your family is glorious again. Locks, who is 6,533 years old this year, has listened to his elders tell about his family's past glory since he was a child.

As a young man, Locks was proud to be a member of the Mincks family, but it was only when he grew up that he learned the truth. His own family, the Minks family, has declined and is no longer the great nobles of the empire. The cruelty of reality and the responsibility to revitalize the family forced Locks, who had just come of age, to grow up.

Plus, that attack a thousand years ago killed all members of the Minks family except Locks. Faced with this harsh reality, Locks makes the most important decision of his life - to go to the vast universe in search of the remnants of a legendary ancient civilization.

Although the hope that Zhilu Dao found was extremely small, it was always a little greater than the hope of facing the joint strangulation of those great nobles of the empire. From then on, Locks and the housekeepers and guards left behind in the family embarked on an expedition.

While stroking the huge stone door, Locks in his memories was pushed by Johns, the butler next to him. Rocks, who woke up from his memories, looked at Johns blankly and said nothing, just looked at his housekeeper uncle, who had taken care of himself since the death of the old housekeeper grandfather.

"Lord Count, we've searched all the places here and found nothing." Johns, the middle-aged butler, grabbed Locks' hand and said, "Only this best-preserved giant building has not been searched, and if there is anything important left behind, it must be here." However, there may be unknown dangers here, so Lord Earl should not go in. ”

"Captain, Vice Captain Johns is right." Max agreed, "We've been attacked by so many shootable monsters along the way, and this is their lair again. I think they may have been created by an ancient civilization to protect this place, and there may be some other guardian mechanism. It is better for the captain not to go in, as this will also reduce unnecessary trouble. ”

Except for the warriors who had to protect the ship, only a hundred warriors followed them to explore the ruins. Now that there are few people and unknown dangers, no one wants something to happen to Locks.

"yes. Captain, don't risk it. ”

"It's too dangerous, don't go in."

"The Minks family's hopes are all in the captain, and it's not worth the risk."

“…………”

The warriors around Locks persuaded Locks not to take risks, and although the effect of Zhilu Dao was not very great, everyone still wanted to persuade and persuade.

How could Locks, who had always been stubborn and stinky tempered, listen to Johns's advice, and with a stubborn face, Locks interrupted the warriors: "Don't persuade you anymore, I have already decided, this time I must go in with you." I was already so close to my ultimate goal, how could I back down at this time. Once I'm done, how am I going to deal with all the Minks elders who died? ”

"Well......" Seeing how resolutely Locks said, Johns understood that no matter how much persuasion was useless, he could only sigh, "All right, Lord Earl." Let's go in together, but we must not leave the protective circle of the fighters. ”

"Vice-Captain, how can you ......" Max didn't expect Johns to agree to Locks so easily, and he didn't know how to convince Johns not to say yes for a while.

"Max, don't be trying to persuade the Earl." Johns knew that Max was for the good of Locks. But seeing Locks' expression at this time, he knew that everything was useless. "At this point, nothing can change the Earl's decision. Max, you must protect Lord Earl, the Minks family can't be destroyed. ”

"Hey...... I got it. Max said helplessly: "Even if all our warriors are sacrificed, we must protect the captain's safety." ”

"Yes, we'll protect the captain."

"Even if you fight for your life, you have to protect the captain."

“…………”

Seeing that everyone had expressed their desire to protect themselves at all costs, Locks was full of relief in his heart. With a group of loyal guards, Locks felt that he had not lived for so many years in vain.

"Alright, let's stop talking." Johns interrupted the crowd and said to Max, "Max, you can go in." ”

"Good thing, Vice-Captain." Max said and turned around and shouted at the soldiers, "Listen, everyone, you must keep the captain safe." ”

"I know it."

"Definitely"

"I'm the best meat shield."

"Ha ......" the warriors around Ness laughed.

"What a laugh." Ness said unhappily: "What qualifications do you have to ask for me, looking at your thin figure, you can't even be a meat shield if you want to." ”

"What?" Toddis, who was said, was not happy, he cared most about what others said about his figure. "Ness, you stupid pig. You have nothing to show off other than well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Although I am not physically strong, I have a good mind and I am flexible. Can you compare this? ”

"You...... Who do you say is a stupid pig? Ness was furious, and he hated being told that he was well-limbed and simple-minded. If it weren't for the companions around him to hold him, he would have rushed up and beaten him up.

"That's enough, don't make any noise." Max also got angry, and yelled at the two of them, "You two go, the stone door opens." ”

"Yes, sir." The two of them stood upright at the same time and said loudly, and then immediately ran to the stone gate and pushed it hard. The folding fan stone door is 30 meters high and 10 meters wide, and you can see that the road is very heavy at a glance. Although both of them are wearing biological combat suits, the strength of the warrior can be greatly increased. Otherwise, no matter how hard you push, the stone gate will not move a point.

The stone gate slowly moved inward, and slowly a deep passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"......Boom" The stone door was fully opened, and there was a heavy noise on the stone wall of the passage.

Max turned on the bright light on the Dark Ray Gun and walked away, and then thirty warriors immediately followed. Forty warriors slowly entered around Locks and Johns, and the other thirty warriors followed.

The passage is very long, and it has been ten minutes before it is finished.

Locks, who was protected from the crowd, was looking at the murals on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, which depicted the history of ancient civilizations. Seeing this, Locks was extremely emotional. Such a powerful civilization in ancient times just disappeared, leaving nothing but some ruins.

After another five minutes, Max's voice suddenly came from the front.

"Captain, the exit is ahead, let's speed forward."

As soon as Locks heard Max say that he saw the exit, he immediately quickened his pace, and the warriors around Locks sped up with him.

When everyone came out of the passage, they were shocked by what they saw. There are no partitions inside the entire megastructure, only a space that is so large that it is terrifying to look at. There was only sporadic light coming in from the inside, and you could only see that it was a huge space. Other than that, I could only see many dark shadows dimly.

As they slowly moved inside, everyone finally saw the true face of those black shadows. Locks looked at the countless stone statues around him. These stone statues are of different shapes, from humans with two heads and six pairs of arms, to various beasts, giants, etc., as well as the strange-shaped monsters that Locks and others encounter along the way.

"It's so spectacular, I didn't expect to see such a spectacle." Locks looked at the various forms of stone statues in front of him and sighed: "With so many kinds of stone statues, ancient civilizations just dare not imagine. Most of the types of stone statues seen in the empire have not been seen in such a long time, and I really can't imagine how many kinds of stone statues there are. ”

After sighing, Locks continued to move towards the most central position of the entire space. Where, Locks saw a platform-like thing in the distance. He felt that something must be found there.

Half an hour later, the crowd finally reached the center position.

A huge square platform stands on the ground, and on all four sides of it is a huge stone statue with a height of more than ten meters. These four statues are different from the ones that have passed by before, they have the body of a human, the wings of a bat, the head of a lizard, the tail of a crocodile, and two pairs of arms. At this time, the four giant hands of the stone statue were all holding a giant sword, with a fierce expression on their faces.

Just as Locks was about to step forward to take a closer look at the platform, the dim space suddenly brightened. Countless transparent stones emit white light, making the surrounding scenery delicate.

"Click...... Click......" Just before the group could understand what was going on, there was a sudden sound of objects rubbing.

"Look, the eyes of the big stone statue in front of the platform have turned red."

The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, the stone statue's eyes lit up and moved.

"Stand back, protect the captain in part." Max anxiously shouted, "The rest follow me and destroy it." ”

"Yes, sir." All the warriors obeyed.

At this time, not only the huge stone statue on the front moved, but the stone statues on the other three sides moved. Four stone statues brandished sixteen giant swords and rushed towards the crowd.

Twenty warriors escorted Locks and Johns back, and Max led eighty warriors to disperse to attack the statue. The weight of the stone statue is staggering, but the speed of running is not slow.

The stone statue at the front waved a huge sweep towards the nearest warrior, but the warrior did not react in time and was cut in half. Blood splattered everywhere, killing instantly.

The rays hit the stone statue only one small stone, which was only a tiny amount of damage compared to its huge size. The stone statue continued to attack the warriors, not caring about the damage inflicted by the dark rays.

Seeing that the Dark Ray Gun was of little use, the warriors immediately took out their Dark Ray Grenade and threw it at the stone statue.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

A loud explosion was accompanied by the sound of stone chips scattering, and the warrior saw that only a small pit appeared on the stone statue's chest. Zhilu Dao has little effect, and immediately attacks while retreating.

In just a short period of time, twenty-eight warriors have already been killed by the stone statue. Watching the soldiers who followed him from birth to death die one after another, Max gritted his teeth and stared at the four stone statues. Seeing that the effect of the Dark Energy Grenade was not ideal, and the movement speed of the stone statue was not slow, the warriors were tired of dealing with the stone statue's attack.

"All attacking the ankles of the statues." Max shouted loudly to the warriors around him, "Concentrate your attack, break the statue's ankles, and restrain the statues." ”

When the warriors heard Max's shout, they immediately attacked the ankles of the stone statue. For a moment, the ankles of the four stone statues were splashed with stone chips, and soon the ankles of one of the stone statues were completely shattered, and they fell to the ground and struggled wielding a giant sword.

Seeing the statue fall to the ground, Ness took out the dark energy bomb in his backpack and rushed towards the statue.

"Don't." Toddes, who saw Ness's movements, was too late to stop it, so he could only shout sadly.

"Boom ......"

A loud explosion accompanied the firelight, and Ness's figure was gone. The three arms and one leg of the fallen stone statue were gone, and it looked very miserable.

The warriors who saw this were very sad, and Ness could not completely destroy the statue even if he sacrificed himself.

At this moment, the only remaining hand of the stone statue suddenly grabbed a small stone statue beside him. The white stone in the middle of its forehead glowed a dazzling red, and then the small stone statue in the stone statue's hand suddenly melted and merged into the stone statue's hand. One of the statue's destroyed arms slowly reappeared, and two more hands grabbed the two smaller statues, and soon they were intact again.

Seeing the stone statue recover from its damage, Toddish was furious. Although he and Ness often quarreled, in his heart he always regarded Ness as his best friend. Seeing that Ness's sacrifice had become useless, he was eager to rush up and die with the statue. But Todis's clever mind made a vetoed judgment, and he could not sacrifice in vain.

Todis calmly analyzed all the passages, and suddenly he noticed the red glowing stone in the middle of the stone statue's forehead.

"Red light?" Todice was very puzzled: "No, I didn't have it just now, why ...... it now?"

"Sir, attack the middle of the statue's forehead." Realizing this, Todis shouted at Max: "The white stone in the middle of the stone statue's forehead is the energy source, and the stone statue can only be completely destroyed by destroying the energy source." ”

"Good thing, Toddes." When Max heard this, he immediately shouted to the warriors, "All attack at the energy source of the stone statue, be sure to destroy the stone statue quickly." ”

After a hard battle, Max and his team finally destroyed all four stone statues, but they also paid a heavy sacrifice. Forty-six of the eighty fighters were killed, and more than half of the remaining fighters were wounded of varying severity.

Although Locks, who was protected behind, was extremely guilty and sad, he was already dead, and no matter how he was, he still had to face reality. Locks came to the platform, looked at the fifty-meter-high platform, activated his personal flying device, and slowly flew towards the top of the platform.

Coming to the top, Locks saw that the platform covering an area of 100 square meters had only a column in the middle. At the top of the pillar is a blue spar of ten cubic meters in size.

Seeing this blue spar, Locks rushed over excitedly and stroked the spar and said tremblingly: "Cosmic stone, the obelisk is recorded and true. There really is such a miracle that the revival of the Mincks family can finally be realized. Those imperial nobles who fell into the trap of the Minks family back then, I must get them back one by one. ”
