The Scourge of Witchcraft Chapter 32: The Swamp Tomb (7)
At this time, I noticed a strange phenomenon, I thought that these statues were driven by some kind of mechanism, and then moved on the ground, but after the shooting, I looked over and saw that their feet were raised, and these statues were actually moving.
I can't figure it out, whether these statues are made of stone or metal, they must at least have power to move, the machines of modern society also have to rely on gas engines or motors to provide power, more advanced, nuclear-powered, but no matter what kind of power, there is more or less sound, but these statues are extremely quiet except for a little friction sound when moving, and their feet can be off the ground, and there is no cable connection between them and the ground, I really can't figure out what they move by.
But at the moment, I can't think about it too much, Chen Fangyuan said that I can't let them go to the formation point, I must stop these statues!
A shot didn't knock me down, so I changed my target and fired a few shots at the statue that was closer to me, and the bullet hit the statue with a "dangdang" sound, as if hitting a steel plate, and the statue was knocked to the ground by the impact of the bullet, but after a while, he actually got up again with his hands on the ground, and after getting up, the statue continued to move towards its destination as if nothing had happened.
I was shocked, what the hell are these statues, bullets can't penetrate them, and they can move like people!
While panicking, I shouted at the others: "Shoot, why are you still stunned, don't let them move to the formation!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, a gunshot rang out in the hall.
The familiar smoke of gunfire stimulated the adrenaline rush, and I felt like I was back in the shooting range of the troops, except that the gunfire in the training ground would not be so chaotic, and the company commander would not allow us to abuse the bullets like this.
In less than a minute, I ran out of bullets in the magazine, and I habitually unplugged the magazine and loaded it with a new one.
As I was changing magazines, I saw the statues that we had beaten staggered back up, and when they got up, they returned to their previous positions, and then continued to move.
It dawned on me that it was useless to shoot like this, not only would we not be able to hurt the statues, but once the bullets were gone, we would have to fight them with our bare hands if there was any danger.
I hurried to stop those who were still shooting, and the hall was silent again, save for the lingering smoke in the air and the grinding of the statues' movements.
On the other side, Chen Fangyuan, who was looking for a vacancy and walked into the hall, found that after the gunfire stopped, they kept the posture they had just now and froze in place, Chen Fangyuan stared at me and said something with his mouth wide open, but he didn't make a sound, I couldn't hear it.
I motioned for the others to stay put, and I pulled out my dagger and walked towards the nearest statue, since the gun didn't work, I had to try something else.
The statue walked forward with his back to me, his head motionless, as if nothing would affect his movement to the designated position, I ran behind him and touched it without any response.
At this time, I noticed that this statue was a little strange, although his head and hands did not move, but I could see that these joints were connected with some kind of leather, I really couldn't figure out why a statue should deliberately leave a joint position, could it be that these stones or metals still need to be specially protected? Or is there some delicate mechanism inside these joints?
After discovering this phenomenon, I looked at the legs of the statues again, and I found that although these statues walked very slowly, they lifted their feet, bent their knees, and landed their feet very smoothly, without a little stagnation, you know, even the most advanced robots are driven by stepper motors, no matter how realistic the scientists make these robots, there will be a unique stiff movement of the robot, is it possible that the ancients hundreds of years ago were smarter than scientists, and could make the robot so realistic?
Suddenly, it occurred to me that these robots were not robots at all, and that they might be real "people"!
To confirm my suspicions, I used my dagger to cut through the leather at one of the joints, and sure enough, a piece of dry skin was faintly visible inside.
Damn, these iron sheets are full of dried corpses!
Only then did I realize that Chen Fangyuan had lied to me again, he probably knew what these robots were, and this was the real purpose of him inviting me here!
However, I don't have time to worry about him now, Chen Fangyuan said that I can't let these dried corpses go to the formation point, it is estimated that after these dry corpses reach the formation point, something more dangerous will happen, and I must stop them.
Thinking of this, I plunged the dagger into the knee socket of the dry corpse, but unfortunately as soon as my dagger was inserted, I didn't know if it hurt the joint of the dry corpse, and the dagger was caught by the two pieces of armor above and below the knee of the dry corpse.
Either way, it's the only way I can think of right now, so I'm chasing the dagger and telling the others about it out loud.
I quickly recovered the dagger, and then followed the statue and stabbed him in the knee socket in a different way, and after working for a while, the statue turned its body away, as if one of his legs had been stabbed off by me, and I was overjoyed, and quickly stabbed him in the other leg.
However, although the statue was hindered in its movement, he still moved forward desperately, and I dragged him with both hands.
Suddenly, the statues stopped, and at the same time, I noticed that the voices of the others were gone, and I looked around, and found that all the statues had stopped, and all the living people in the hall were looking at the statues with great fear.
"Be careful!" Chen Fangyuan suddenly let out a cry of regret, breaking the silence in the hall, although I didn't know what would happen next, but after hearing this shout, I still climbed back a few steps, and then pointed my gun at the statue in front of me.
I looked at the statue nervously, and thought that he would suddenly transform into some kind of terrifying monster, but after waiting for a while, I found that nothing had happened, I struggled to get up from the ground, and suddenly I heard a burst of exclamations, I looked up, and found a wisp of light smoke coming from the various joints of the statue, the momentum of the smoke was insufficient, but it was endlessly coming out, and in a short time, the whole hall was covered with a thin layer of mist.
"He boy, be careful, this fog is the same as that of Fengwu Village, it has a hallucinogenic effect, when they move, you will find a way to attract them to the other side, here we will find a way!" Chen Fangyuan shouted loudly.
I was a little puzzled, what do you mean by that? Can they still move? Even if they can still move, we just tried, and it doesn't even work, what else can I do to attract them?
Also, Chen Fangyuan mentioned Fengwu Village, which is the Miao family village, and the situation here is very similar to the underground tomb of Fengwu Village, but what is the connection between Miao Village, which is thousands of miles away, and this Rouran ancient tomb? Why would they use the same method to protect the tombs?
