Chapter Eighty-Five: The Stone Statue

The whole city shook incessantly with a continuous muffled rattle.

The dense energy network blocked between Hao Shen's system and Lilith Zhao Ran kept jumping like electric sparks, Hao Shen gritted his teeth and was about to open a shield to rush over, but the next moment, those dazzling energy networks moved quickly in the jump, and the road was opened again.

Hao Shen was stunned, glanced at the system, and quickly took the opportunity to rush to Lilith's side.

"Are you alright?" Hao Shen waved his hand, stretched out a piece of protection, and then looked at the two girls.

The scene in front of her was really not small, but the two girls reacted fairly steadily, and Lilith needless to say, she didn't care about those jumping energy sparks at all, she just watched the upheaval in the whole city with interest. Zhao Ran was also unexpectedly calm, "Hao Shen, what's the situation?" ”

"I don't know, but it seems that because of the appearance of the evil fire just now, some dormant defense system was triggered." Hao Shen quickly explained, and then looked at the system, "The system, can it detect the specific situation?" ”

The "uh......" system is floating outside the shield, and it is radiating a few gadgets to observe these changes, "It's still being analyzed, but it seems that because of those strange energy pipelines, those energies caused resonance, there were suddenly a lot of electromagnetic reactions in the whole city, and between those electromagnetic reaction points, there were electromagnetic waves with high readings, and this is how the discharge phenomenon in the air came about...... Strange, where does all this energy come from? We hadn't noticed these strange pipes before, they were all over the city! ”

The rising square pillars stopped after reaching a certain height, and the runes on them lit up, and more energy was transmitted along more and more energy pipelines. Throughout the city, new energy pipelines are constantly emerging, and they are densely entrenched on the walls of buildings and the ground of the streets, and they occupy the entire city in the blink of an eye. They were like layers of spider webs, wrapping the whole city, and the city was also trembling and shaking more and more violently in these energy pipelines, some aging and weathered buildings collapsed one after another, and the energy pipelines attached to them were immediately diverted without being affected.

At the same time, the electromagnetic phenomenon is getting stronger and stronger, and the electrostatic effect makes Hao Shen and the others numb in their scalps, if it weren't for the shield weakening most of them, their hair would have to stand up. Beyond the shield, however, some of the smaller shattered stones had begun to levitate, and as the electromagnetic readings intensified, more and larger objects began to float, including the fragmented weapons and armor that had been scattered. They are mixed with all kinds of things, like iron slag under a magnet, and they fly around like swarms with the electromagnetic jump, flying sand and rocks everywhere they go!

By the time those energy pipelines spread all over the city, there were already red-hot metal products that had fallen down because they had lost their magnetism, and you can imagine how strong those electromagnetic forces were.

However, these things happened very quickly and suddenly, and the end was also very fast and abrupt, about less than two minutes, and with a dull muffled sound, the whole city fell silent at once!

The energy pipeline gradually became dim, the electromagnetic force was swept away, and a large number of miscellaneous things fell on the streets and alleys of the city, and the energy sparks jumping in the air also disappeared, leaving only those large, long square pillars with bright runes.

There was an eerie silence in the air.

Zhao Ran swallowed his saliva, raised the high-tech firearm in his hand, and forced a smile: "Why do I think this seems to be the calm before the storm?" ”

What Zhao Ran said is the truth.

The eerie silence lasted less than ten seconds before the ground shook again.

This time, however, it was not the shaking of the entire city, but of a regional nature: huge black stone pillars two stories high suddenly broke through the ground, lifting up large blocks of stone bricks and gravel. Those stone pillars are regular multi-faceted columns, the top is a pointed stone plate, below the stone plate, the thickness of the stone pillar suddenly decreases, flowing out of a circular space about three meters high, in those circular space, there are black stone statues in full armor!

Each of the statues was nearly two meters tall and was carved after a human knight, each armed with the same black stone spear and greatsword, clad in heavy full-cover armor. Hao Shen roughly counted, and on each protruding stone pillar, there were twelve statues of these black knights. And the number of stone pillars is impossible to count.

At this point, no one believed that the stone statues were just stone statues, and the whole city had been shaking for so long to make such a big fuss in order to send some stone statues to the ground? Fools don't believe it either. Even Zhao Ran aimed his gun at those stone statues with a nervous face: "...... I think of Tomb Raider...... They're going to move, right? ”

"Yes." The system quickly scanned the stone statues and stone pillars, and said quickly: "The composition of these stone statues is not ordinary stones, there are obsidian and some gems mixed with strange materials, although the specific composition of their interiors is not known, but there is energy gathering into those stone statues, and some kind of mechanism is activating inside." ”

By the time the system spoke, several stone statues had already begun to shake.

Zhao Ran laughed a few times and tightened the gun in his hand, "Then what should we do?" Destroy them? But that's a bit too much......"

The number of those stone pillars is beyond the thousands, multiplied by twelve under this base, that is a terrifying number.

"Quantity is not an issue!" Lilith spoke, her blue eyes flashed, and the huge spatial stabilizers that had been summoned before began to clatter and transform again, and soon became turrets, and all kinds of multi-barreled machine gun-like weapons poked out one after another.

These weapons are obviously only toys for the big killers that Lilith really hides in the space, but in Zhao Ran's eyes, they are already incredible, and the thought of Hao Shen next to her suddenly calmed down a little.

"No, don't be impulsive just yet." But Hao Shen waved his hand, he looked at the stone statues that were shaking faster and faster, there were already some broken stone chips peeling off, it seemed that it would take a little time to fully activate, and he simply said: "Don't you think, these stone statues still have use value?" ”

"How?" Several people looked at Hao Shen suspiciously.

Hao Shen spread his hands, "These stone statues are not a threat to us, our purpose is to evil fire and find Lilith's friends, not to wipe out this place." It must have been the emergency system that sensed the appearance of the evil fire that triggered these stone statues, and in that case, the city must not be so simple - we might as well find a place to avoid it first, and then check these stone statues and the control center of the city before ......"

System and Lilith glanced at each other, and System nodded in surprise, "Your idea makes sense......

Lilith thought about it, and completely agreed with Hao Shen's idea, "It's a good way, I really thought you still have this kind of scheming......"

Hao Shen: "...... "Why do you look down on people like that?"

"If you're leaving, it's better to get early!" Zhao Ran grinned at this time and thought that Hao Shen took two steps back: not far away, the arm of a stone statue moved suddenly, and it was holding a long black axe in its hand, and the blade of the axe was shrouded in crimson light, which was a powerful magical energy.

Hao Shen also saw it, found a direction, and waved his hand, "Keep up!" ”

Because the time and space around here have been disrupted, everyone does not dare to teleport, so they can only run fast. Fortunately, several people were very fast, and before the stone statues really came to life, they ran out of the central square. However, at this moment, the whole city is already full of stone pillars and statues.

"That's right!" As he was running, the system suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Lilith and I roughly searched this city before, and found a strange place, because there is no imaginary space there, so we didn't care, now that I think about it, that place seems a little weird." ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier? Lead the way! Hao Shen threw the system out. In which direction? What's weird? ”

"Not far!" The system shook in the air for a moment and stabilized, flew in front of a few people, and turned at an intersection, "It's a place that kind of looks like a temple, you know, depending on the style of the city, maybe there was some kind of religious activity, so we didn't care at the time." But just now I suddenly remembered, I really saw the words "Guardian's Eternal Resting Place" in that temple...... Be careful! ”

At the intersection, a stone statue that kept twisting suddenly raised its long knife, it seemed to have completed its charge, and the position of its eyes lit up with a red light, and then with a wave of the long knife, it thought that Hao Shen and the others had cut it over!
