"Fortunately, we brought a mage, so we don't need to light an open flame for lighting, otherwise..."

Infinity lifted one foot, and a viscous substance was pulled under his feet, which seemed to be some kind of black oil that had dried almost asphalt, not only in the large wooden barrel, but also in the hallway, which was covered with a thick layer, and because the surface was covered with a layer of dust, it was impossible to see if he was not careful.

Wutong squatted down, dipped his fingers in black oil, rubbed it to feel the viscosity, and then put it under his nose and sniffed, and said in surprise: "This can't be oil, right?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, yes, in the fantasy online game "Endless", the appearance of petroleum as a chemical raw material does feel a little abrupt, but this thing does exist in the world of "Endless", but this thing is not widely used, and a small amount exists in the alchemist's laboratory.

However, in the context of the "steampunk civilization" of the ancient high goblins, it is reasonable that there is such a thing as oil in the temple of the earth's spirit, but in the context of "Endless", its name is not called oil, but by the high goblins called "black fire oil", and by some religious people called "demon blood", and by alchemists and mages called "burning water".

If you are careful, players can actually find a lot of things in "Endless" that are similar to what exists in reality, after all, the content of "Endless" comes from reality, but it is higher than reality.

The background of the civilization of "Endless" contains almost all the civilizations in the world from ancient times to the present... As long as there are descendants of the civilization and he is also playing "Endless", as long as he joins "Endless", he will automatically add the cultural background, myths and legends of the civilization and nation to which he belongs in the world of "Endless", which can be seen from the fact that "Endless" almost contains the gods, ghosts, and strange beasts of various civilizations around the world.

Of course, in "Endless", these realities are just prototypes, and they will change and modify in the game, after all, in "Endless", it describes a completely different world, and if it is exactly the same, this game should be called "Civilization" instead of "Endless".

"It seems that there should be a lot of machinery in this Earth Spirit Hall that uses 'black fire oil', everyone be careful."

Wutong wiped his fingers, seeing that the wanderers had already searched the hallway, and found nothing, after casually reminding them, the team planned to continue to explore the depths of the temple, they had to hurry up, they had to hurry up, and there was a lot of delay when opening the temple, and there was not much time ahead of the other participating teams.

There are only two passages in the hallway, one in and one out, and they are about to leave, when Pea, who is in charge of exploring the path at the front, suddenly stops, carefully observes the ground, and suddenly makes a few gestures backwards, and the other wanderers scattered around all clench their weapons, and everyone can know that Pea should have found the trace of a monster without warning.

"What is it? Goblins? ”

Xiao San retreated to the rear, changed from the main team to the substitute team, and gave up the battle position, Wutong also took out his staff, and asked casually.

"It's not a goblin, it seems to be some kind of beast."

Xiao San shook his head, shrugged his delicate little nose and said, "There is a strange smell here, my sense of smell is blocked, and I can't tell what kind of creature it is." ”

Because of the leakage of a large amount of black fire oil in the hallway, although it has been a long time, the passage is still filled with a strange and pungent smell of volatile surnames, which makes Xiao San lose his talent as a beast race.

Perhaps it was the too bright light of the [Luminomy] released by the sycamore that made the creatures hidden in the darkness a little jealous, and the team walked in the passage for a while, but there was no attack, but in the empty underground world, there were always some small rustling sounds, which made people a little hairy.

There are some places on the wall of the passage that have collapsed, and the dirt mixed with gravel is piled up under the corner of the wall, and the huge cave exposed on the wall is dark and does not know where to lead, a passage hundreds of meters long, on the wall and the ground, there are no less than dozens of places.

The team moved cautiously, there seemed to be something peeping at them in the caves on the walls of the passage around them, but they were always dormant, it was obvious that they did not dare to attack this strong team easily, and they did not bother those guys hiding in the caves, their main purpose was to explore this temple of the spirit of the earth, not to fight, and to avoid fighting as much as possible.

Smoothly passed through this long passage, the team officially stepped into the first underground hall of the Earth Spirit Temple, when everyone stepped on the ground of the hall, I don't know what the wanderers in front of them touched, the lamp holders on the walls and pillars in the hall suddenly ignited one by one, and in the quiet environment, they could even hear some kind of machine hidden behind the wall turn in the bones, and the fish-man oil stored inside was injected into the dry lamp base, and sparks came out to ignite the very burn-resistant fish-man oil.

There are a total of twelve stout stone pillars in the hall to support the dome, and instead of ordinary temple decorations, there are a large number of things that I don't know what to do, and they are hidden by the dust, and at first glance they look like tombs.

"Everyone be careful with their feet, and don't step on the lime powder."

The peas and infinity and hammer in front of him kept sprinkling some white ash in their hands, which should be lime powder, leaving clear circles of ash on the ground, and you don't need to guess which ones should be traps.

The hall is surrounded by sculptures of human figures... Like the ones they had seen last time in the Earth Alchemy Laboratory, most of them had rusted and collapsed, but some were still in good condition, and no one thought they were just decorations.

These humanoids, which are more than three meters tall and look very stout and stocky, are wrapped in armor, which is very in line with the size of the goblins, including the sycamores, and they all agree that they can not alarm them, it is better not to alarm them, even if these organ guards have been eroded for tens of thousands of years, I am afraid they still maintain amazing combat effectiveness.

Infinity pointed to the "tomb bag" that would be between every two pillars, and frowned, "If we want to pass through this hall, it is estimated that we will have to go directly through the middle, and if we go to both sides, I am afraid that these steel statues will be alarmed." ”

The area where they were active was only a small area near the entrance of the passage, and the positions on both sides were directly marked by the wanderers with a long cordon of lime powder, and it was obvious that once they crossed the cordon, they were likely to alarm the sleeping temple guards.

Thankfully, this is not the production area of the Earth Alchemy Laboratory, the number of steel statues used to guard the Earth Spirit Temple is limited, most of the time their role is only used as decorations, after tens of thousands of years of corrosion, it is difficult to say how many of them can move, but even if only one can move, no one wants to provoke them.

"These aren't arcane statues, these are puppets!"

Sycamore is also a person who has studied the construction technique for a while, and of course he can see the destructive power that these seemingly rusty iron bumps should have, and it can be seen from the giant axes and giant mallets installed on their thick arms that even the highest defensive barrier warriors are fat enough to fall into the sky, it is impossible to resist the opponent's attack.

However, these big pieces of iron are not the so-called "arcane statues" at all, but just puppets derived from another technology!

Infinite was stunned: "Last time in the mechanical hall of the goblin laboratory, weren't they these ghosts?" ”

'It's different!' The 'Arcane' is an automatic device constructed by arcane power, and the creation of arcane images usually involves esoteric knowledge and the use of powerful elemental powers..."

Wutong is not as uncommon sense as it was then: "I can't explain it clearly for a while, you just need to know that the reason why the Ao statues can move, and can understand orders and obey the master's command, is because they have souls, and the 'puppets' are the most basic objects constructed by alchemy, enchantment, runes and other technical means, their surnames are closer to the robots in reality, and the Ao Statue... It can barely be regarded as a low-level intelligent robot. ”

Infinite was speechless for a while: "Is there a difference?" Looks the same? ”

"There's a difference, you know when you fight them. The puppet's movements and trajectory are set, which means that there are traces to follow. There are many types of lifeless structures like this, but there are not only two kinds of statues and puppets, so be careful if you come across them in the future. ”

Wutong explained a few words briefly, remembering his experience in the Earth Alchemy Laboratory, he looked up at the sky dome in the hall, and suggested, "Let's go from above?" "Those dusty graves don't look like a good path, and it's no safer to go through the middle than from the sides.

The hammer looked up, nodded, and said, "Crawl over with [adsorption glue]?" We can do it, but hammer and double head they can't, their weight..."

Halfway through speaking, Hammer suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him was a mage who could [shrink the technique], and immediately nodded speechlessly: "You can try." ”

Wanderers don't have to worry about Sycamore, it's their job to walk on the wall, who wouldn't have props like [Adsorption Glue], [Spider Scroll], [Climbing Ring], [Gecko Gloves] and the like, in order to ensure safety, Sycamore released the [Shrinking Technique] on the big guys, reduced their weight, and let them tie everyone together with ropes to prevent someone from falling.

Trying to climb up the wall, the group moved slowly like a swarm of spiders strung together, passing through the top of the hall, obviously safer than walking through the center of the tombs, although the sycamore could have allowed the flying Salass and Bussomis to help carry everyone over, but because there were too many people, it was better to climb slowly.

But when they climbed to half the distance, that is, directly above the hall, there were suddenly shouting voices from the passage, as well as the roars of monsters and the sound of battle.

"I'll wipe it! It's a more! ”

Those creatures that were even bigger than the giant rats that Wutong had seen turned out to be some kind of ancient rats, and the big ones were a little unreasonable, and they were fierce and abnormal in the crowd!

Now they know what creatures are hidden in the huge caves in the passage just now, these players are not the team under the name of Sycamore, unlimited they use lime powder to mark the traps on the ground, just to pave the way for those teams behind, as early as when Sycamore and they entered the underground temple, they have already used [Communication Stone] to inform them to wait before coming in.

These players were obviously the first to arrive, and when they found out that the Temple of the Spirit had been opened, they feared that the good things inside had been looted, so they recklessly rushed inside, which alarmed the moguls hiding in the caves.

Unlike Wutong, all of them are 2nd order, and there are also members of the 1st order among these players, who are also 2nd order dinosaurs, they will not be afraid of them, and a large group of people have poured into the territory of other people's dinosaurs, and they will drill holes when they see them, and it is strange not to be attacked.

The sycamores hanging upside down on the sky dome of the hall watched in amazement at this gang of daredevils, and the big group of dinosaurs were in full swing, and those painted trap marks were directly ignored by them... Or they don't have time to look at the markings on the ground, the Dire Rats are more ferocious Tier 2 creatures than the Ferocious Rats, larger in size, more ferocious and brutal in their surnames, and their attacks are higher.

There are quite a few players in this wave, but because they don't belong to the same force, it's like a plate of scattered sand, and they can't organize an effective battle in a panic, and they are rushed by a large group of dinosaurs, and they are directly chaotic.

What's even more hilarious is that as a large group of players rushed into the hall without a clue, they actually activated the steel golems around the hall... Perhaps these players had never encountered such monsters before, and they ignored the fact that they ran past the giant armor that looked like it was just a decoration, and were trampled to pulp by the suddenly activated steel golem.

The sound of metal grinding with a squeak of explosion resounded throughout the hall, although only a few dozen of the hundreds of steel golems in the hall moved, and nearly half of them had just stepped down from the pedestal where they were standing, and they shattered into a pile of broken copper and iron.

However, the remaining twenty or thirty steel puppets still exerted their due power, their arms as high as three meters, and even many of them were installed on them, but they were all huge weapons at the level of siege equipment, and they didn't need to attack deliberately, and the power brought by wielding them at will was enough to smash the players who rubbed into them into a puddle of flesh and blood.

After all, the teams participating in the re-selection are the elite among the players, and although they are at an extremely disadvantaged disadvantage, no one gives up, and they are still fighting hard, using their flexible surnames and changeable fighting styles to fight against the slow-moving steel golems.

While some people began to encircle and suppress the mouses, Wutong saw a wanderer move flexibly to lead a dinosaur chasing him to a steel golem, and after narrowly dodging the slash of a chisel axe on the arm of the steel golem, he rolled and bounced, and jumped up and ran onto the body of the rusty steel golem, leading the dinosaur to pounce on him on the body of the steel golem, and then with a huge arc of knife, the unfortunate dinosaur was cut in half alive by the steel golem, splashing flesh and viscous internal organs, Flesh and blood smeared the boss's ground.

"I'm rubbing! Let's go! ”

While the people on the sky dome had not yet been spotted by the players, the dinosaurs, and the golems below, Sycamore greeted and sped up to crawl towards the passage at the end of the hall, because he saw that some players had been forced by the dinosaurs to run towards the center of the hall while fighting and fleeing, didn't they think that those dusty graves were safer than puppets?

Before Wutong and the others climbed to their destination, they saw a player being pounced on by a huge dinosaur and hit a grave bag hard, and in the dust, a dusty linoleum was pulled down by them, revealing an object shrouded in linoleum...

It was a strangely shaped machine, it looked like a large iron plate with iron pipes plugged in, and there were pipes and gears of unknown function connected to it, and the player who hit the machine was obviously dead and could no longer die, and the upper half of his body had been torn to pieces by the more!

But without waiting for the dinosaur to feast, the machine emitted a "choking" gear knocking sound, large and small gears snapped and rotated, driving the big iron plate above to rotate rapidly, and the fist thick iron pipe on the iron plate made a "poof" air splash sound, and soon, one after another black fire oil was rotated and sprayed out like a high-pressure faucet!

"Run!" Wutong was shocked when he saw it, and he yelled without caring about attracting attention, and directly took off the [adsorption glue], jumped off the wall that was still more than ten meters from the ground, and rushed into the passage with a displacement before landing, and the others also followed behind and ran into the passage!

"Boom!" With a wave of qi, the scorching flames poured into the passage, but they were blocked by the sycamore, who rushed into the passage first to prepare, and used the [Secondary Deflection Force Field] to block the people who could pounce on the passage!

The terrible screams of the players in the flames, and the wails of the dinosaurs, came from the hall that had turned into a sea of fire, and everyone who was lucky enough to escape looked at each other, and the fun was great, at most they were blocked from returning, but the team of players who wanted to enter the Earth Spirit Temple in the back could only get into the rat holes of those dinosaurs, and look for the way into the depths of the temple along the maze of rat holes in all directions!
