Chapter 1569: Castle
The creeper is not of a high level, and although it looks quite scary on the outside, it is easy to deal with when it knows its weaknesses.
Zhuang Xue looked at the corpse of the creeper and frowned, she didn't like this kind of undead monster unit, it made people feel very disgusting and uncomfortable, but the loot that should be recovered still had to be taken away, this is the game world, killing monsters will explode things, even if it is a test ground, although the game rules of the test ground are not perfect, but the rules are still running.
"What is this?"
The material that Zhuang Xue's sword qi creeper burst out of, the material does not have any hints, but according to the magic fluctuations emitted, it can be judged that it is a dark material.
Xiling Chen knew at a glance what this material was for, it belonged to a material that could make a material that could harm spirit units, and it was not rare in the normal magic world.
"I don't know, let's take it back and study it." Xilingchen said.
"Okay."
Zhuang Xue put away the materials that burst out, and then condensed an ice and snow sword and walked in front: "Next time I encounter a monster, let me deal with it, I have more magic than you, you are too impulsive like this, what if it appears is a monster that you can't deal with?" ”
Xilingchen knew that Zhuang Xue was worried, so he quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem, listen to you." ”
The two of them moved on.
Xilingchen quietly guided and determined the general direction to ensure that he could finally reach the vicinity of the building that Xiao Ling scanned.
In this process, I encountered a lot of monsters, and there were also some rare plants, the monsters were all undead types, and the level was not high, and sometimes Zhuang Xue could solve it without Xilingchen's action.
After walking for almost an hour, the surrounding fog of the undead gradually dissipated, and the vision became clear, but the two of them did not walk out of the Forest of the Dead, the reason for the dissipation of the fog was a very huge castle, this castle is on a hill, several magic towers are protected around the castle, and the castle can live at least tens of thousands of people.
This is the building that Xiao Ling scanned, it is very large, Xilingchen didn't expect it to be a castle at all, he thought it was ruins or something.
"A castle, brother, I want to go in and see it, but it will be dangerous......"
Before Zhuang Xue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xilingchen: "I'm with you!" Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. ”
Hearing Xilingchen's words, Zhuang Xue said movingly: "Thank you." ”
The two of them have been dispersed with the large army, to be honest, they should wait for rescue in place, but the environment they were in before did not allow them to do this, and now that they have found a castle, they must not be idle, magicians are explorers, they are very interested in unknown things, and they have found a high ground suitable for observation, and the two of them took out their binoculars, and they must reconnoiter in advance when they enter this strange place.
The castle looks to have been abandoned for a long time, some vine-type dark plants crawl all over the castle walls and buildings, the architectural style is different from any race in this plane, and from a distance, it can be clearly seen that the castle has been abandoned for a long time, and it is very old.
On the periphery of the castle, one of the towering magic towers had collapsed, and in some nearby areas, there were obvious signs of man-made modifications, and there was a road leading to the castle, but the path was full of white bones and dark plants.
In addition to these, there are naturally monsters, but they are not annihilation-type monsters.
On the outskirts of the castle, there is a circle of skeleton monsters, about three thousand meters to two thousand five hundred meters away from the castle, these skeleton monsters are standing still, some will wander, except for these middle circles are a large area of plants covering the surface, among which there are some blood-red flowers, which should be aggressive, skeleton monsters are far away from this flower, obviously afraid.
At the distance of one thousand meters to the castle, there are some high-level skeleton monsters with magical attributes, but they are very few, and judging from the light emitted from their bodies, the level of these monsters is not low.
The defenses were tight, and it was quite difficult to get into the castle, but it was not impossible.
"Need to have a plan!" Zhuang Xue said.
These are just ordinary monsters, even if there are elite units that can be dealt with, it just takes time, the two of them carefully scouted the monster layout, and finally made a plan, first long-range attack, clean up some of the skeletons wandering around the periphery, and then enter the middle layer, bypass the red flower area, and finally solve the magic type of skeleton units, elite units.
Each checked the weapons and equipment, and after making sure that there was no problem, they began.
Using a rifle to shoot remotely, expert-level firearms allow Xilingchen not to deliberately hide, and they are just ordinary monsters, as long as they are accurate, they are easy to deal with.
Although Zhuang Xue did not have an expert-level firearm level, he also had an advanced level, and the two of them cleaned up together, and it took more than half an hour to clear a safe road leading to the blood-colored flower area.
For safety, before entering the blood-colored flower area, the two of them pointed and broke some of them, and only went in after making sure that there was no problem.
It went smoothly and nothing happened.
When you get to the area of the elite monsters, you need to fight, the elite-level units are not long-range attacks can be solved, Xilingchen uses a rifle to shoot, one by one to attract, Zhuang Xue melee, she is a snow girl, the ice magic is very powerful, killing these elite-level units does not drop weapons, but a lot of materials are dropped, and these materials can be taken back to make weapons.
The materials that the monster broke out were all put away by Zhuang Xue, and it was useless for Xilingchen to ask for it, after all, his team was still under construction, and there were no laboratories, research institutes and the like, and when he went back, Zhuang Xue would give his team a logistics study, if it could be used to make weapons and equipment, then let the logistics make something useful for Xilingchen.
It had been hours since we arrived at the castle gates, and the sky had not changed in the slightest in the process, as if the time had been frozen forever in the evening.
The sky was gray and cloudy, making the whole area very eerie.
As soon as he entered the castle gate, a skeleton with flames rushing out, the skeleton was holding a black spear, and the blade area at the top of the spear was inlaid with a purple gem, the gem shimmered with magical light, this is a magic weapon!
Seeing the skeleton, Zhuang Xue's face changed, she turned her head and shouted, "Run!" ”
Level 60 magic unit!
This burning skeleton that suddenly appeared was a lord-level unit, Zhuang Xue's reaction was already very fast, but the lord-level skeleton was faster, and he didn't give the two of them time to prepare at all, so he rushed over directly, Zhuang Xue saw that he couldn't run away, so he turned his head and rushed towards the lord, Xilingchen also stopped, raised his rifle and fired quickly, and in less than twenty seconds, a magazine was finished.
Such a quick attack consumes bullets, but it is effective.
The lord was suppressed, buying time for Zhuang Xue.
Snow Maiden's ability exploded, and blue Hanneng energy swirled around Zhuang Xue, a battle of ice and fire.
"Sister, don't hit the head, hit the magic runes on your body!" Xiling Chen hurriedly reminded this girl that this skeleton lord had a rune that emitted light, and the rune was a rebirth rune, and if you didn't break the rune to kill, you had to fight it twice
"Okay!"
Zhuang Xue didn't think about it so much, and attacked the magic rune first.
Skeletons are units that are refreshed by the rules of the game, but the refresh also follows certain rules, such as this castle, which must conform to the setting of this castle.
This rebirth rune is a manifestation of rune technology, and it can be judged from this that the civilization that built this castle has rune technology, and Xiao Ling's scanning made Xiling Chen even more surprised, this castle is at least more than 100,000 years old, although most of the facilities in the castle are unusable, but some things are still scanned out by Xiao Ling.
Rune Technology, Dark Energy Technology, Psionic Technology, Magic Machine, Top Necromantic Magic Civilization.
The entire castle is still in operation, all kinds of cutting-edge technology is gathered, and the underground is extremely complex, this is not a lord's castle, but a refuge.
The reason why it was judged as a refuge by Xiao Ling was because of the structure of the entire area, the ground was reinforced by layers of runes, and the castle outside was decorated, and the real area was underground.
The entire area is extremely hard to reinforce, even a small Star Destroyer cannon may not be able to damage this area, so strong except for the shelter, I really can't think of anything.
Refuge?
What was it built to hide?
This level of shelter is not just a construction, it requires a very large amount of resource support, and what makes Xilingchen most puzzled is time, 100,000 years!
According to the information on Lori's side, it can be determined that there was no undead civilization on this planet at all, and there was no overlapping space, but now this test site seems to be completely different from the original design, and a lot of information is seriously inconsistent.
There are too many doubts, and after entering here, Xiao Ling has a conjecture, the reason why she can't communicate with the outside world in the void may be because the time flow speed in this area is too slow, and the gap between the two spaces is too big, and the void communication already has this technology, but it still can't communicate, which shows that the time gap between the two spaces is bigger than imagined.
100,000 years? Ten days here, and only one day outside?
While thinking about these problems while fighting, the bullets in his hands were quickly consumed, although it was a bit wasteful, but he successfully suppressed the skeleton lord, and Zhuang Xue also took advantage of the opportunity created by Xiling Chen to knock out the resurrection rune on the skeleton.
After the runes were knocked out, they attacked the soul fire in the skull's head, the battle was quite fierce, Zhuang Xue was even injured in the process, and Xiling Chen broke out in a wave, which made the skeleton lord not take advantage of Zhuang Xue's injury to carry out continuous attacks, the injury was not serious, Zhuang Xue endured the pain and finally solved the target.
After the lord died, Xilingchen put away his weapon and ran over, he opened the medical box and began to bandage Zhuang Xue's wounds.
Zhuang Xue's left arm and calf were burned by the flames emitted by the Skeleton Lord, this kind of injury is not very serious, but in the current environment, every little more injury will reduce the hope of survival.
Looking at the handsome guy in front of her, Zhuang Xue felt a sense of happiness, the more she got along with Xilingchen, the more she felt that she couldn't do without him.
After the wound was bandaged, Zhuang Xue said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
"As it should be!"
The two of them only went to check what the lord had exploded at this time, and this time they didn't continue to reveal the materials, but the equipment, a red shirt, no attribute description, Zhuang Xue tried it with the ice long sword and found that the defense was quite high.
Women's equipment, Xilingchen can't be used, the shirt is worn inside, so Xilingchen turned his head and waited for Zhuang Xue to wear it before saying, "There are not many bullets." ”
"How many more?"
"There are more than 300 shots left for the shotgun, and there are only two magazines left for the rifle."
When he came out, Xiling Chen was almost full of bullets, and he had fought all the way until now, and he had almost consumed it, after all, his space storage equipment was only two cubic meters.
After hearing this, Zhuang Xue handed the pistol hanging on his waist to Xiling Chen: "Use mine first, save some use, mine is all magic bullets." ”
"Okay."
The weapons of the two are different, and the bullet models are also different.
In addition to the clothes that burst out, there was also the weapon that the lord originally used, this is a magic weapon, Zhuang Xue picked it up and studied it, and finally handed it to Xiling Chen: "Fire-based, I can't use it." ”
"Hmm."
Zhuang Xue is a snow girl, a natural ice magician, and the spear used by the lord is a fire-amplifying type, which is almost useless in her hands except for sharpness.
In fact, Xiling Chen has already planned to fight in close combat, although he wants to hide his identity, but he still has to expose some abilities when he has to do so, of course, it is best not to expose it, and now with this spear, the space that can be operated is also larger.
The battle fluctuations caused by killing the Skeleton Lord spread throughout the castle, but no monsters came, either there were no monsters anymore, or the monsters were confined to a certain area, and they would not trigger until they passed.
Xilingchen didn't have a mental scan, and Xiaoling didn't prompt, if he knew everything, it would be boring.
The gate of the castle is made of magic wood, which has long been damaged, and before the two of them can walk in, Zhuang Xue sensed the target, and she held an ice arrow in front of Xiling Chen: "There are monsters inside." ”
Xilingchen has also found out, his eyesight is quite good, although the interior of the castle is relatively dark, but he still sees the target, which is a spider.
Standard for abandoned castles, spider-type monsters.
Took out the shotgun from the space equipment, and shot it directly, after this shot, he also used a lightning magic, Xilingchen also has a talent for magic, and it is normal to use some attack type magic, of course, this ability cannot be used often, because he is an auxiliary system, and the magic control is not good, and it is no problem to come once in a while, if you keep using magic, you will definitely be suspected.
Zhuang Xue also shot directly, condensed the ice bow, and then shot an arrow.
The spider in the castle was knocked to the ground before it could rush out, and the attack of the two did not stop, it still continued, but Xi Lingchen did not continue to attack from a distance, he was on guard with a shotgun.
There aren't many bullets, but you can save a little bit, and you haven't entered the underground part yet, so if you use the bullets here to go underground, you can really only fight in close combat.
The spider is more than a meter tall and has a level of around forty.
However, there was not just one, but a large group, and after the first spider was dealt with, the other spiders inside the castle also made an action, all crawling out of the gate.
