Chapter 39, Underground Space
Maud is a talkative goblin, usually sleeps underground, leaving a small hole in the ground to breathe, it is because it always drills holes that he discovered the huge space under the secret realm, it is worth mentioning that this little guy is now more than one hundred and eighty years old.
Goblins are not immortal, according to Maud, the average goblin can live to be about four hundred years old, while goblins with stronger mana can live longer.
In the early morning of the next day, Maude led the way, and Luo Tian tied a rope to this guy's feet, plus there was a small black sweeping formation, and it couldn't run away at all.
"Do you see the mountain wall in front, let's go over. ”
Walking under the huge mountain wall, he looked up and saw a symbol carved on the mountain wall, Maud flapped his wings a few times and flew in front of the symbol, then his body glowed, and the light shone on the symbol, and the whole mountain began to rumble, and then the mountain wall cracked a huge gap in the middle.
Luo Tian took Xiaobao and took a few steps back, to his surprise, the entire mountain wall looked like it was made of stone on the outside, but in fact it was a steel skeleton inside, and at the same time, a dark and deep passage continued to extend to the depths.
"Right down here, let's go. Maud pointed to the dark passageway.
Luo Tian made a torch, lit it and walked down the passage, the entire interior was completely a steel space, with rusty iron walls on both sides, Maude would automatically glow in the dark, and the flames could barely see the way forward.
After walking down a long distance, Luo Tian estimated that it was about twenty to thirty meters, and the terrain gradually flattened.
"Be careful further ahead, there are some traps that will be triggered, like this one on your left. Maude reminded.
Luo Tian glanced at it and saw that there was a small hole in the iron wall on his left, as if it was inlaid with a red gem, but there was something that could not be seen in the dark.
Cautiously walked forward for a distance, and came to a large gate, and at the same time the same symbol appeared next to the gate as when he entered, and Maud flew over, the light on his body reflected on the symbol, and the large iron door in front of him slowly opened as before.
But when the gate opened and Maude flew in, a red light shone down from the sky and swept over Luo Tian and Xiaobao's bodies.
"Identify, there are unregistered people, put on alert. ”
A strange female voice suddenly sounded underground, and then the originally dark underground space suddenly turned into a red light, and a strange sound came from a distance, as if something was approaching.
"What's the situation, what's going on?" Luo Tian nervously stepped back and questioned Maude.
Maude was also surprised, and said, "I've never encountered such a situation in the past, and I don't know what happened. ”
The sound in the distance was getting closer and closer, and three tall figures could be seen in the red light, but when they got closer, they were not normal people, but like puppet people made of steel.
"Listen, whoever is speaking, I'm not evil, I'm not malicious, we'll leave at once. Luo Tian shouted around.
But the three steel puppets had already arrived in front of them, holding spear-like weapons in their hands, and after approaching a certain range, a terrifying arc suddenly appeared on the spear, and then a steel puppet man directly threw the spear weapon over, and the spear with terrifying electric light stabbed straight in, Luo Tian saw that the other party launched an attack, and immediately retreated at the same time as the aura shield was deployed.
The Thunder Spear struck the aura shield with a "zez" sound, but it failed to penetrate the aura shield.
"I was shocked. "The aura shield was not pierced, indicating that the other party's strength was very weak, this time Luo Tian was relieved, put on the mask re-forged by Yin Jiu and rushed over.
The mad sword is useless, and the strength of the three steel puppets is not strong, at most, it is the appearance of the seventh or eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and they were broken into pieces by Luo Tian with a few palms.
"The guard was killed, the identity of the intruder was verified as a monk, the alarm was temporarily lifted, and the alert level was raised after three hours. The emotionless female voice came again, and the red light around her disappeared for a moment, and turned back to pitch black.
Luo Tian held a torch and shone on the smashed steel puppets on the ground, these steel puppets are different from the skills of refining puppets on the rivers and lakes, Luo Tian has never even seen similar puppeteers, it seems that they are powered by electricity, while the puppeteers on the mainland are driven by magic circles and aura.
"Xiaobao, do you know what this thing is?" asked Luo Tian.
Xiaobao shook his head and then thought about it and said: "I have seen in some books of the old era, it seems that in the old times it was called a robot, a kind of puppet man driven by electric energy, but the skills in it are different from the skills of the puppet people on our continent today, so many sects and families that have tried to copy these robots have failed. ”
How could things from the old era appear under the secret realm of the demon clan, Luo Tian felt strange from the beginning, the environment here seemed to be incompatible with the outside world.
"Let's go. Maud said.
Luo Tian hesitated, it should be more dangerous in the future, it was not convenient for him to take Xiaobao, after thinking about it, he said: "Xiaobao, you and Xiao Hei leave here first, go to the cave where we camped yesterday and wait, I will come to pick you up after I am sure that it is safe here, if I don't come out for a long time, you will retreat to the place where we enter, and then wait there for the entrance gate to open, you will take all the dry food, if it is not enough to eat, Xiao Hei will help you go hunting." ”
Xiao Bao was a little scared, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed Xiao Hei to the outside.
"Let's move on. ”
Along the way, he avoided a lot of traps, but he didn't see the steel puppet man he had seen before, and it seemed to be a lot safer.
"Further on, through that door, is what I call the underground spiritual energy spring. Maud said, pointing ahead.
Just as it was about to pass, the red light that had been gone for a while came back on, and at the same time, the emotionless woman's voice sounded again.
"The alert level is raised, and the elite escort is activated. ”
There was the sound of footsteps on the corridor on the left and right sides at the same time, and some taller steel puppets were outflanking Luo Tian's side, and the weapons in their hands were not the same, turning into some huge pieces of iron, but there was a hole in one end of these iron pieces.
"Removal of unregistered outsiders. ”
The moment the female voice disappeared, a large number of beams of light shot out from the iron blocks that had opened the holes, these beams were so powerful that they were so high that even the steel plates were melted where they swept through.
Soon the beam of light shot into Luo Tian's aura shield, and the power was much stronger than the three steel puppets he had encountered before, reaching a level close to the human pill realm, but there was still no way to break Luo Tian's aura shield, Luo Tian in the state of evil qi roared, releasing a terrifying evil light, and the evil light swept along the corridor to both sides, and in an instant, all the steel puppet people were cut off.
"The alert level was upgraded again, and the Human Dan Realm monk was detected, and the exterminator was activated three hours later. ”
The female voice sounded again, and then the red light disappeared, and the same words as just now made Luo Tian's heart sink slightly, and it seemed that after a while, there would be stronger monsters to deal with him.
Passing through the front gate, a glowing sculpture stood in front of Luo Tian's eyes in the dark, and a trace of spiritual energy turned into white smoke gushing out from all sides of the sculpture, which was the legendary spiritual energy spring.
"It's the first time I've seen a Reiki Spring......
Luo Tian seemed to feel that the air had become sweeter, the surroundings were very quiet, and the aura was invisible and shadowless, but when a large amount of aura was piled up, it would form a state of white smoke.
The monk's power comes from the aura, and the aura spring is like an endless treasure to the monk.
Luo Tian walked over slowly, and after approaching the spiritual energy spring, he felt that every meridian and every inch of skin in his body was extremely comfortable.
"The fountain is underneath this sculpture, the sculpture is just an ornament, all right, I did what I promised you, you should let me go." Maud said.
Luo Tian's face sank and he said, "Didn't you tell me that there was no danger?"
Maude smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't know, I've never encountered an attack in the past, I don't think it's my problem, it's your problem, maybe this place doesn't welcome humans but only the demon race, after all, this is the secret realm of our demon race." ”
Unexpectedly, Luo Tian shook his head after hearing this and said: "No, this is not the secret realm of the demon clan, if I guess correctly, this should be the base left by the humans in the old era." ”
