Seeing that it took a long time to open the door, but the masked female mage easily entered through the side door, the temple snake and the others had mixed feelings.

He claims to be an expert.

"We'll wait for our companions in the back." Although Miao Se said this, he also hoped that the two archaeological laymen, Yuanhuang and Hongyang Minbo, would step into the trap and die. Most of these fortified ruins have traps, and she'll need to gather more companions to stay safe.

I waited for a long time, until a group of companions came down from the rear, and I didn't hear any movement from the depths of the secret door. Especially the wailing of hope from Myose...... There was only silence.

That is, there are no traps ahead.

"We'll follow suit, too." She waved her hand to everyone.

The current personnel are Miao Se, Zuo Zhe, Xun Rin, and Di Zhixue. There was a person on the elevator who was repeatedly picking people up and down, responsible for maintaining its stability, except for that person, six more people came in the second batch, plus a member who was responsible for repairing the golden armor just now was pulled out, a total of eleven people. The two men in front of the door continued to unlock the lock.

These people are mixed configurations, and who comes down from each batch is carefully selected by Miaose. Divide into two groups of six in the front and five in the back, and keep moving at an interval of five meters, which can not only avoid the annihilation of the army due to emergencies, but also have enough ability to deal with it.

They also came to the side doorway.

Metal golems have also been found. After counting, each room is equipped with fifteen units, each of which is in good condition, blowing away the dust as if it were brand new.

At first they were very cautious, and no one touched the metal golem.

"The magic crystal on the puppet's chest has failed, and there is no mana left, so it should not be able to be activated." After all, after thousands of years of static rest, ordinary magic crystals simply couldn't last for so long.

"Huh? It seems that there are ancient words engraved on the back! ”

One member shouted. He found a carving of what appeared to be text behind a metal golem that had fallen sideways, but the dust was too thick to read.

I guess it was caused by the earthquake. All metal golems sat upright in a majestic position, except for this one, which fell to the ground. They look like real people, and each face is different.

They looked at Myose.

"Well, be careful, don't touch it."

Perhaps the metal surface was poisoned, so the regimental commander allowed it, but asked them to use a brush to wipe off the dust.

The person with the lightest hands and feet in the audience held a small brush to remove the dust little by little, taking care not to touch the puppet.

Hold your breath.

"Commander, alright, look?"

The words behind it were revealed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Miao Se immediately lowered her body to look, but she didn't quite recognize it.

She knew all the ancient characters, especially the ones of the "Hundred Years of Prosperity" era, how could it be......

Zuo Zhe also came over and muttered, "Ah, this is not a text ......"

"What is it?"

"The incantation of a hundred years of prosperity...... Well...... "Sattar, Makaha, Lee" ......"

"Nope! Don't read it! ”

Miao Se suddenly exclaimed, covering Zozhe's mouth, but it was still a step too late. The incantation was short, and he had already finished it.

Bad premonition.

Miao Se's father was the head of the previous generation, and once discovered the small ruins of a hundred years of prosperity. At that time, it was because he accidentally chanted the incantation carved in the ruins, triggered the trap, and killed more than a dozen people.

This is also the reason why her father deliberately did not teach the ancient mantras of Miaose, so she deliberately avoided learning. But accidents are still unavoidable, and the knowledgeable Zuozhe knows these spells!

The metal golem made an imperceptible creak, and the guy who was approaching the brush to dust suddenly shouted, "! It sucks my mana! ”

"Quick! Pull him away immediately! Drag it away! Fast! ”

At the sound of the order, everyone rushed over, grabbed the person and dragged him back.

The metal golem was indeed activated by the spell, and it was indeed absorbing the mana of that group member, and it did have a certain strength of suction. But Miao Se reacts too quickly, and sometimes too fast is not a good thing.

She didn't have time to think about why it was Zoje who was chanting the mantra, but the target of the mana was the closest one.

Because anyone can.

As long as it has gold mana, it can absorb anyone as closest.

Originally, the mana absorption mechanism was not a trap to eliminate foreign enemies, but to allow the staff of the underground shrine to activate the metal golem, so the suction power was not particularly strong. If you send two fewer people to drag the members with the brushes away, nothing will happen. Unfortunately, everyone rushed over with all their hands and hands on the news.

The approach of a large group of people caused the metal golem to instantly absorb enough mana!

Including Zuozhe were implicated, but it wasn't a big problem, but there was a loss of mana. Others are about half less, and the mage profession has little impact. Mana sucking is not a problem......

- The problem is that a metal golem is alive! Squeaky back to his feet, moving the metal joints of his neck and shoulders, his eyes glowing a dull golden light.

Very bad......

It's the guards.

The metal golem looked around, stared at the crowd that froze in place, and asked in an ancient language, "Who? Password? A badge to prove your identity?"

Most of the people present could understand, but they couldn't answer.

There is definitely no emblem. But Myose suddenly remembered the scene of the masked mage from earlier, and maybe the artifact fragment could serve as a special pass. But there was no one present.

「…… Suspicious. Ten seconds to answer, otherwise you will be considered an intruder." The puppet doesn't speak very well, but it is very intimidating when it comes to warning.

This......

In a hurry, Miao Se pushed his companion who had just repaired the golden armor forward. Because this guy is fun, he still wears some armor such as chest and arm guards. This armor was certainly one of the uniforms of the guards.

"Wait! We are our own people! Behold, he is clothed in armor!"

The "......" metal golem does not seem to have much intelligence.

But it's not stupid enough to be easily deceived.

"Intruder!"

With that, it jerked around and slapped the wall next to it. There's a nondescript pushbutton mechanism hidden there. It was so sudden that no one had time to stop it.

It took a long time for Myose to understand why it had been exposed. Those golden armors were not for humans at all, but metal golem uniforms, more ceremonial in nature, whenever they needed to greet visitors, they would go out, cross the bridge, put on armor in the guard room, and parade to greet them with a majestic appearance. And it's not a guard room, it's a welcome station at the head of the bridge.

It was an unimaginably powerful country, and politics and rituals were valued more than war. It's not the same as it is today.

"Stop it!"

Miao Se shouted, and then swung his sword and slashed at the metal golem's shoulder, if the human had been cut in two diagonally, it only staggered under its feet, and there was an additional slash mark on its shoulder that was a centimeter deep. It's too hard.

One of the members knocked it to the ground with a magical blast, and the rest swarmed up until six or seven people finally held it down. It is invulnerable and magically resistant, and it has a lot of strength.

"Me, my mana!"

"Ahh

"Commander, all the surrounding are activated!"

It's an alarm!

Miao Se understood, the button he just slapped was an alarm! Originally, these metal golems were not damaged, but idle. Their magic crystals weren't ineffective, they hadn't been used at all for thousands of years. Now, with the alarm on, the metal golems are all activated!

It seems that the seat they sit in can supply mana, and in addition to that, they are absorbing the mana of those nearby.

The creaking whisper sounded frequently, and a dark light appeared in a pair of eyes. All alive!

Fifteen bodies per room...

There are six rooms around here!

How many can they handle...... There are only three at most! But there are nearly 100 in total!

At this time, an exclamation came from the direction of the gate: "Commander! What's going on inside? The lock of the gate suddenly moved on its own and was reset! It's about to be cracked, and it's all in vain! ”

"Run! It's a lot of metal golems! Myose pulled up his companions who were suppressing the metal golems on the ground and yelled, "Go up there and bring the rescuers!" ”

And it was too late for her group to escape.

I heard a bang, and the secret door was closed.
