I walked in the forest with the Children of the Night for a short time and began to regret it. The Goddess of Contract is not around, and we don't know how to move forward in the forest. To us, these big trees are almost the same length, and no matter how we go, they seem to be spinning in place. After the system is upgraded, the map system has become a paper system, and each player's map is drawn on paper and they find a way to carry it or put it in an item with space storage capacity, and different players can copy each other's maps of places they have been to their own maps when they meet, so that they can exchange maps. As for the compass, that thing has already become a real compass when it was last upgraded, so take it out and look at it when you need to. However, this thing also has zài strict zhòng defects, such as now.
The Children of the Night and I walked a long way in the direction we had been pointing with a compass and found that we were always going around in circles. Finally we walked in smaller and smaller circles until we stopped at this point five minutes ago.
The Children of the Night looked around. "Strange, why are we here to go around in circles?"
Yeyue smiled and took my compass and looked at it for a long time. "Can this little thing really point south?"
The Children of the Night shook his head helplessly: "Although it does point to the south in most cases, it cannot be ruled out that there are some cases where it is not guided. ”
Night Moon smiled and held the compass and kept changing positions. "It seems to be referring to the big tree."
"Big trees?" I looked in the direction that Yeyue was pointing, and sure enough, there was a strangely shaped tree. This big tree seems to be redder than the others, and the surface is very strange, as if it has a lot of bumps. "Let's take a look."
I walked to the tree and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly I felt something unusual. Pushing the mask away, I leaned in and inhaled hard. "Won't it?"
"What's wrong?" The Children of the Night don't know what I'm sniffing.
I slammed my fist the trunk, and the fist of the dragon's armor slammed into the trunk with a clanging sound. The Child of the Night leaned in and touched it. "I*. Steel? ”
I nodded. "Not bad. And it's magnetic. ”
The Children of the Night finally couldn't help but curse. "I ...... (Profanity Shielding) ...... It turned out to be magnetic, and we were stupid to take a compass and circle around it. ”
The night moon circled the tree a few times. "This thing is standing here, the compass is useless, how are we going to get out?"
I looked at the big tree for a long time. "Cover your ears."
"What are you going to do?"
"Just cover it up."
The Night Moon and the Children of the Night covered their ears melancholy, and I turned eternity into a hammer. I picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it down with all the power of the tree trunk, and when I ......, I felt my hands numb.
The trunks of the trees were dripping, and a lot of iron gimmicks were falling like rain. The place is relatively humid, and although the steel tree is a demonic creature, the steel on its surface still rusts. The knock shook the rust off.
The Children of the Night looked at me in amazement, not knowing what I was going to do, and I swung my hammer again. The trees were shaken to the ground, and their ears were almost deaf. After gritting my teeth and doing it a few more times, I threw the sledgehammer to the ground. "Night Moon, look in the direction of the south needle."
"Bah! Don't forgive!
Surprised, the Child of the Night also took out his compass and looked at it, but sure enough, it didn't point in the direction of the tree. "Ziri, how did you do that?"
"Cut, you kid must not have been in class properly."
"What does this have to do with my class?"
"This is a junior high school course, I don't know how to go back to school and ask your physics teacher." Putting away the sledgehammer, I took the compass back and looked at it. "Good guys, it's all messed up. We've been heading north just now. Hurry up, don't walk for a while, the compass will be jumping again. ”
"Why?" The Children of the Night look at the tree. "Didn't you take the magnetism off?"
"This is temporary. Twenty minutes at most, after which the magnetism will slowly recover, and if we haven't left the magnetic field, we will definitely have to walk back again. ”
When Yeyue heard this, she quickly pulled me and jumped on the steel claw. "Then let's run."
"Children of the Night, hurry up." I shouted, and the Children of the Night jumped on the steel claws and began to quickly leave. Within twenty minutes, if we couldn't get out of the magnetic range, we would walk back to the tree because of the compass.
Without the interference of the big tree, the direction of our progress was clear, and after running a short distance, we confirmed that the magnetic field was generally boring, and our speed gradually slowed down. The Children of the Night picked a fruit from the side and threw it to me. "Taste it."
"You dare to eat this thing?"
"That's why I let you eat first."
"You bastard, let me be a real product?"
"Anyway, your toxin resistance is so high, even if you are poisoned, it is not a big problem."
"That's still ...... Who? "I suddenly felt someone behind the tree, and as soon as I raised my hand, I turned into a sword and whip and wrapped it around the trunk of the tree, gently taking it along. The trunk of the tree was cut off at the waist, and the towering ancient tree collapsed with a bang.
Yeyue was not slow to move, she was still sitting behind me just now, and in a flash, she was already behind the trunk of the tree. The scene froze instantly, and Yeyue used her skills to create six arms, and at this time, the six snake swords were pressed against the bodies of three people, while the other two people were stupid and didn't dare to move.
"Gibejar?" The Child of the Night recognized the woman who had been held to her neck with her twin swords by the Night Moon.
"Purple Sun?" Jibeyar also came out of us.
"Is that you?" Nightmoon had also seen Gibejar, and she remembered them.
"Are you really?" Lauder and Lycard stepped out from the trunk, "I didn't expect to see you again. ”
The Children of the Night teleported to Gibejar. "Didn't you go to the Temple of Imado? How did you get here? ”
"It's a long story." Gibejar said in frustration: "After separating from you, we have encountered the pursuit of large monsters. We managed to run away from the monster and lost our compass, so we started wandering around here, and we ran into you. ”
"You're really unlucky." I look at the forest ahead. "Was the monster thrown off?"
"We set a trap and ambushed me." Lauder pointed to his tattered armor. "It's its masterpiece."
The Children of the Night asked, "Isn't that one in the swamp a temple?" ”
"It's not." The cute mage mm Santa Mafyana glared at me with some anger: "That's the monster's lair, we almost didn't come out." ”
I didn't even see Santa Mafyana's expression. "What are you going to do now?"
"We underestimate the dangers here." Gibejar was so helpless that he asked me, "Can you take us out of here with you?" ”
"No problem, we're leaving, too."
"Sister, let's go out by ourselves." Santa Mafliana was clearly still angry about what had happened when she came.
"I believe very much in the words of Mademoiselle Santa Mafyana. In that case, let's go on our own. Night Moon. Come back. "She was angry that I just didn't take her, and this kind of oil bottle is also troublesome.
"Purple Sun." Gibejar hurried to catch up. "Santa Mafliana, she talks like this all the time, you might as well take us along?"
The night moon looked at me, and at Gibejar. "If you really want to leave, Miss Gibejar, you should at least make sure it's your collective intentions and not your own."
Hearing this, I looked at Santa Mafyana with Gibejar, and Santa Mafyana turned her head. "I don't."
I made a reluctant gesture to Gibejar. "Then that's it." I threw my compass at Gibejar. "Here's for you. I have another one here. ”
Santa Mafyana snatched the compass and threw it back vigorously: "You keep it for yourself, we won't need it." ”
I didn't catch the compass, the thing flew too high. The little girl's strength is not small. The compass flew directly over my head and hit a large tree behind us. The location where the big tree was hit was a small wooden mechanism that suddenly sank down a little, but it was so small that none of us noticed the change.
Jibejar was apologizing to me when Nightmoon suddenly reached out and motioned for her to be quiet. I noticed that the night moon table xiàn was abnormal, and looked at her nervously. "What's wrong?"
"Magic Pull." Night Moon looked around cautiously. "Something has been activated, and the magic is wandering among the trees around us, as if it were the energy gathering process of the magic array."
Lycard took his berserker greatsword and looked left and right, "What is it?" Monsters? ”
"It's not."
Suddenly, a green magic circle floated on a large tree near us, and then the surrounding trees lit up one after another, and the magical light clusters between these large trees fired beams of light at each other to form a polygonal box, and we were all surrounded in the middle.
Night Moon suddenly swept the fallen leaves under the ground with her tail. The leaves were swept away, revealing the slates. I quickly jumped down and swept away the leaves, and sure enough, there was a large stone slab underneath, and there were patterns on the slate, and these patterns were still lit up at this time.
"Damn, we're standing on top of a magic circle."
Gibejar asked nervously; "What kind of magic array is this?"
"Whatever it is, just don't let it kick in." I said to the steel claw, "Smash it open." ”
Steel Claw suddenly stood up on its two hind legs, and then smashed its body down with a downward force to smash the ground open, but to no avail, the magic on the slate had apparently strengthened the slate. "Steel Claw back, tank out." I withdrew my claws and summoned the tank. There wasn't much space in this place, and there was no room for two giant beasts to stop at the same time.
As soon as the tank came out, I got the order to smash the ground, and the two bone hammers on the front foot of the tank were the most destructive, only to see the tank raise the heavy hammer high and slam it into the ground. With a bang, we felt the ground jump, and we all jumped to the ground, and the Children of the Night and Adepana sat on the ground.
I looked at the ground and it was fine. The tank looked at me and waited for the next order. I pointed to the ground: "Go on." ”
The tank immediately swung its hammer and slammed it down again, this time seemingly to have some effect. The hammer hit the ground, and a circle of light quickly spread out along the ground. When you reach the polygonal frames, they suddenly start to stretch upwards, and it's clear that they've been wrapped. The whole space suddenly became extremely dazzling, and we couldn't open our eyes from the dazzling bright light.
The light suddenly flickered and then dimmed again for only a few seconds. The surroundings are back to normal again. All of us are stupid in place.
"Where is this time?" The words of the Children of the Night talking to themselves brought us back to consciousness a little.
We were in the middle of the forest before the light shone. The surrounding towering trees shade the sun like skyscrapers, and we can't see anything but the forest. However, the current environment can still be considered a forest. But it's obviously not the same area as the forest just now. We are standing on a huge hexagonal platform, with a pagoda-shaped statue of about three meters at each of the six top corners of the platform, and a small flame dancing at the top of each pagoda stone carving.
The platform is surrounded by a forest, but the trees here are normal and sparse. The trees are covered with lush vegetation of all kinds, and the climate is clearly tropical rainforest. It's just that the location is wrong. We must have just run into a teleportation array that had been exhausting for a long time, but the problem was that it actually started again, and even worse, we were in the array when it started.
"Oh my God! Take a look. Lycard was surprised and pointed in the direction behind me.
We all turned around, and there were very few trees in that direction, and from the top of the trees we saw a huge man-made structure. The building in front of us looked more than a dozen kilometers away, but from here we could see the huge building. It could be a city, and it's a very large kind of city. Compared to it, the trees are like dwarf shrubs, so you can imagine how magnificent it is.
The Child of the Night asked, "Could this be the ruins of the temple of the Cult of Ideda?" ”
Gibejar stammered his hands in the direction of the building: "I...... I don't know what to ...... How to describe how I feel right now? ”
I patted Gibejar, "Don't be too happy, what is the symbol of the Cult of Ideada that you are looking for?" ”
"A bull's head has a ring of bones on it."
"That's unfortunate to have to sue you. It's not something that Imoda dida is. I guess this one is a little bit bigger. ”
"Anyway, let's go over and have a look." The Children of the Night took the lead and commanded their steel claws to run that way.
I retracted my tank, turned around and asked Gibejar: "Do you want to go together?" ”
"Don't bother you." Santa Mafyana took out a small object, and before I could see what it was, she threw it into the sky. The thing flickered into a giant bird-shaped silent beast, and the monster landed and flew in the direction of the city with them.
I smiled and shook my head to summon the Nightshade, and looked at the Nightshade to see if I thought about it, and I thought about sending the Nightshade back in exchange for luck, taking the two of us to take it into the air, and stopping to take him with me as we passed over the Nightchild.
By the time we flew again, they were gone, and I guess they had already landed, and a distance of more than a dozen kilometers was not too far for something that could fly. As we crossed the woods to the vicinity of the man-made structure, we suddenly saw Gibejar standing on the branch of a large tree, jumping and jumping and waving desperately, shouting something, and pointing in the direction of the building from time to time.
The Child of the Night stretched out his head and looked at it for a long time before saying, "She seems to have something to say." ”
Yeyue also said, "They don't look quite right." ”
I also looked down and felt that Gibeyar was referring to something wrong with the complex. But what could be the problem? Suddenly, I noticed a small piece of the forest not far away, and the white bird-shaped monster was lying among the trees.
"That big bird is in a strange position, huh?" The Children of the Night took a look: "It doesn't look like a normal landing, it looks like it was shot down." ”
"What? Shoot down? I suddenly reacted," Lucky pays attention to the front. ”
I saw a sudden light in a place in the middle of the complex, and a white pillar of light shot straight in. Lucky dodged the attack with a wide angle roll, followed by another ray in another direction, and Lucky narrowly avoided the attack with another roll.
"Hurry down."
The dragon has four legs, and that's the advantage. We crashed straight into the dense forest, and with our strong limbs, we were lucky enough to be able to land steadily. I knocked on Lucky's back. "Stick your head out and see what's attacking us?"
Lucky looked at it for a while and said, "No, we can't see anything attacking us from this angle." The outer wall kept the thing inside. ”
The Children of the Night crawled over and said, "Did you just see what it was?" ”
I shook my head: "Some kind of anti-air defense system anyway." Do you see the night moon? ”
"Then I saw a white light."
"Are you alright?" Jibejar and they finally arrived.
Lucky turned his head to look at Gibejar: "I'm not that stupid bird. It's too early for this kind of thing to hit me. ”
I jumped off Lucky's back and asked Gibejar, "Did you see anything attacking you?" ”
Jibejar shook his head: "I saw a flash of white light and we fell." Santa Maana's mount was fatally killed by a single blow. ”
"I guess it's an anti-aircraft interception facility similar to a beam launcher," Lauder said. ”
Licard also said: "Just now from the air, this place should be a city, and the area is not small, it is normal to have defense facilities. ”
Adepana asked, "So what do we do now?" ”
"Of course it's a walk." The Children of the Night got smarter this time, "That's an anti-aircraft weapon, we'll be safe from underground." ”
"It's only a few hundred meters anyway, let's just walk over there." Gibejar agrees with the Children of the Night.
"Okay then."
I took my luck back and walked straight to the outskirts of the city with everyone. The forest came to an abrupt end more than a hundred meters outside the city walls. The walls are not very exaggerated. The walls of the yellow rock were about ten stories high. This is considered to be the height of the average wall, but after seeing the wall of Isengard, this kind of wall is no different from the fence of a garden.
From here, there was not a single person on the top of the wall, but perhaps the enemy thought we had been shot down and did not strengthen the guard. But there was no one to return to, and the strange devices under the walls of the walls seemed to be difficult to deal with. That's something a lot like a streetlamp. The lower part of this thing is a pillar about thirty centimeters in diameter, and the pillar protrudes about three meters high from under the ground. On top of the pillar there is a yellow tray-like thing, which is slightly thicker than the pillar and has a good sheen. Although this thing looks like gold, I think it's gold-plated at best. Gold isn't as valuable as it is outside, but it's not cheap enough to be used to repair walls. Above this tray-like piece is a sparkling colorless crystal. The crystal is olive-shaped, but it is elongated and has many facets. The crystal stood upright about thirty centimeters above the tray, and it didn't make any contact with the tray, just floating, and slowly turning.
There are countless such pillars, one every ten meters along the base of the wall, and there are all such things as far as we can see. Even if the yellow parts on the top of the pillar weren't gold, the crystals were probably worth a lot of money. The crystals floated above and swirled. This shows that it has magical powers. Such a large facility, and it also has magical power, so unless it is a sacrificial facility, it must be a defensive weapon.
Licard tried to walk out but was pulled back by me: "Don't move, those pillars look aggressive. ”
"Not really, right?"
"That maybe."
I pulled a feather off my wing, and it immediately turned into a bee. The bee quickly left my hand and flew towards the wall, but it was still seventy meters away from the wall when the crystal on the nearest pillar suddenly stopped turning.
Seeing this change, I immediately caused the bee to stop its near-range movements, and instead hovered in place. The crystal does not move at any point other than to stop spinning, so it remains stationary. I sent the bee back a little further. When the distance was increased to 80 meters, the crystal regained its spin again. I asked the bee to turn around again, only to stop spinning again as soon as we got closer to 70 meters.
I pointed to the pillar: "See? It reacts to approaching objects. ”
"But it's not necessarily a weapon."
"Then we'll try again."
I let the bees keep approaching, and the crystal stood there silently, and as the distance got closer, several nearby pillars stopped. It can be roughly estimated that these crystals will stop spinning as soon as the distance is close to 70 meters.
The bee approached slowly, cautiously. When the distance was close to 50 meters, the bottom of the nearest pillar suddenly lit up, and a blue light appeared inside the pillar and moved rapidly upward. At first I thought the pillar was made of stone, but now it seems that it is not made of stone at all, and it is hollow, and the surface material seems to be translucent.
The blue light moved quickly, and almost in a flash, it descended from the bottom of the pillar to the golden part on the top of the pillar, and suddenly shot out several arcs of electricity from the center of the golden part and flew directly into the crystal, and the crystal quickly turned into a dazzling light bulb in a second. When the light reached its peak, the crystal suddenly dimmed, and a white pillar of light shot out from one of the edges of the crystal, and my bee turned into a wisp of green smoke. Without a goal, the crystal pillar turned again. These things are clearly automated defense systems.
"Light prism?" We were all dumbfounded. What this thing fired just now was exactly the same as the pillar of light that hit us at the beginning, except that the beam of this one was a little thinner, and probably less powerful.
Gibejar pulled me and asked, "What...... That thing just attacked? ”
"Well, attacked. My bee has completely evaporated. ”
The Children of the Night asked, "How are we going to get close to something so powerful?" ”
"Just try it." I picked up a small stone and threw it at one of the pillars. As soon as the stone flew about 50 meters away from the pillar, it was the same situation, and after a white light, the stone turned into stone dust and fell to the ground.
"It's probably not that easy to get into." Gibejar Road.
"Not necessarily." I shot the Avenger with a crossbow bolt at a crystal pillar again, and this time it was the same, my arrow was intercepted. There is no deviation in this thing to hit the target, and it is not easy to get close to the physical weapon Daga. After thinking about it, I summoned Ling. "Ling, come over and help try how to deal with that thing."
"What's that?" Ling had never seen anything like this.
"It's a defensive weapon anyway, and it will automatically attack objects that are close. You try to shoot a spell over, and it shouldn't be able to do anything about magic. ”
