Chapter 51 Ground Operations
"I don't feel good here. Miridy gasped and looked around, her chest rising and falling. Her lungs, eroded by the power of darkness, made her often wheezing, "There was no sign of life at all, and it reminded me of the world that was destroyed by plants before." ”
It was a bit of a strange silence all around, with no sign of any living being, as if it had been forgotten by the whole world, and it was a very uncomfortable feeling, especially for Miriday. Necromancers are quite sensitive to life energy, and they are usually used to the feeling of being surrounded by life energy all the time, even if there are no people and no large animals, but the nearby mosquitoes will also exude life energy, highlighting their existence. However, there is nothing here, making it difficult for necromancers to get used to.
"At least there's no raging hostility here. Shul smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't sting my brain, maybe that's the only benefit." ”
"It's not as hostile as it gets. Mia sneered, "If you are hostile, you can at least make a judgment, and now like this, people are not mentally prepared at all." ”
No wonder Mia was entangled, the shadow chasers had already stepped off the rail elevator at this time, and stood on a lawn under the Sky City, the lawn was soft and lush, and it was very comfortable to step on, which made people naturally rise up to the idea of lying on it and stretching their bodies, but unfortunately, no one was in the mood to do this now, everyone tensed their bodies and stared around vigilantly.
Because as soon as I stepped out of the guide rail elevator, before I had time to make any action, from the dense bushes in the distance, hundreds of mechanical spiders sprang out, circling around the landing point of the guide rail elevator.
The Shadow Chasers kept the vanished Delia in the middle, letting the automatons wander around, but the automatons ignored them, as if they had taken them for their own kind, and circled around them. The problem is that no one dares to act rashly now, and they are very worried that moving will cause them to be alert, but it is not a way to go on like this, and sooner or later they will have to act.
"I said the deer over there, have you had enough?" Shure suddenly sighed deeply at the mechanical spiders crawling around, and felt that the veins in his forehead were beating violently, because he saw that on the side of the line, Moriah had turned into a pure tree form, a few branches posed as if she was carrying a skirt, and four thick tree roots supported her body, happily dancing in a circle in front of the mechanical spider.
"Eh, didn't you say you would act according to the plan?" Moria's face, which had been growing on the trunk of the tree in front of him, suddenly came out of the back of one hundred and eighty degrees in surprise, and said with an innocent face, "I'm doing what I want, how can I be playing." ”
Indeed, the current situation did not exceed the expectations of the shadow chasers, and everyone had already made a plan to deal with it, and the plant form of Moria first tested the mechanical beasts to see if they would attack the moving plants, although theoretically not, otherwise the surrounding plants would have been destroyed a long time ago, but just in case, it is better to test it.
If the test is successful, a second round of testing is conducted by Mobuck, who has the highest defense and is the most likely to be mistaken for a personal armor, and asks him to try to move normally to determine the automatron's attitude towards them.
In a way, the plan went perfectly, and Moria successfully tested the attitude of the automatons towards plants, well, or rather, it was a bit too successful, and the method she used was really terrifying.
"I think my ability to bear has grown by leaps and bounds compared to when we first met, well, almost to the extent of a technological revolution. Shul talked deeply, and didn't wait for Mobuck to try it a second time, and waved his hand directly, "You better change back, at least the visual effects can be normal." ”
Well, Xiu'er doesn't pursue to make her behavior normal, if Lin Jing can be normal, it is estimated that the end of the world will not be far away. Hey, it's not far off, does that mean that Moriah has a chance to become normal, but after glancing at Lin Jing, who had turned into a deer shape and was studying how to smash the mechanical beast with an acorn, Shuer still gave up this unrealistic extravagance.
This guy actually cooperates with Shuer very tacitly, and does everything Shull wants to do but hasn't given an order yet, such as smashing the mechanical beast with an acorn, just to test whether it will cause the mechanical beast to be alerted if there is physical contact between the two sides, and it must be admitted that it is indeed quite comfortable to cooperate with such a person, and the problem is, it would be good if it wasn't so curious.
"It seems that everything is as we speculated, and our behavior can be rationalized in their observations. Shuer put aside these strange troubles and said with a straight face, "Although it is not ruled out that they deliberately pretend to ignore us and induce us to go deep into the hinterland to attack again, the probability is not high, and it can be determined that it is safe for the time being." ”
"So, everyone move as planned, be careful, be sure to protect Delia to ensure that she does not come into direct contact with the automatons, and if necessary, you can block her with your body. ”
This is not only a problem that direct contact will lead to the failure of stealth techniques, the main thing is that Delia does not have the protection of the integration effect of divine power, once a collision occurs, and the other party cannot observe the collision target, it is likely to analyze that someone has broken in stealth, although it has long been prepared to confront the mechanical camp head-on, but the time of frontal battle, the later the better.
"Start moving. ”
At the sound of an order, the shadow chasers began to move towards the tower in the distance, and Delia walked very safely, because Shul always held her hand, whenever there was a mechanical beast in front of her, Shul would pull her to avoid it in advance, and the shadow chasers would also assist on the side, and when they needed to speed up through a certain place, the female swordsman on the other side would even directly pick her up and let her experience the feeling of the strong wind.
Crawling down the lawn, cleverly bypassing the mechanical spiders crawling all over the ground, the surrounding mechanical spiders became more and more sparse, and the grass became higher and higher, and it didn't take long for the grass to pass the shadow-chasers who lowered their bodies, and if you looked down from above, you could only see eight waves breaking through the sea of weeds and heading straight towards the city in the distance.
"Moria, help. ”
"Eh, are you going to use me as a mount again, and you want to see others ride me, your taste is really unique. Moria's mouth was talking nonsense, but her movements were not slow at all, and with a little force, she threw Delia onto her back, turning the waves in the grass into seven.
"Watch out for the bushes and don't let Delia get scratched. Shul didn't warn the Shadow Chasers themselves, because the shrubs couldn't pierce the skin of the Shadow Chasers, but their clothes would inevitably be damaged, "Mobuck, don't chop with weapons, be careful that there are mechanical beasts hidden in the bushes, although a slight collision is fine, but the attack is too heavy, and the effect of divine power may not be able to hide the past." ”
"Ofregen is on top, but the bushes are really annoying. "They've been slapping me in the face, damn it, bastard plants, dwarf faces, are you low-level creatures qualified to touch them?"
"Huh, bastard plants, lower creatures?"
"Mia, shut him up, Moria, and don't mess around. Shule rolled his eyes angrily, "Macajalen, what's the situation ahead?"
"The bush area is still about three kilometers away, but the further forward you go, the more sparse it becomes, and through the bush is the city limits, but it is the ruins of the city, and the buildings that are still in operation are still eight kilometers away from us. ”
"Saf. ”
"There's a lot of automatons around. The female swordsman, who was silently guarding the two mages, immediately replied, "But there was no sign of movement. ”
"Huh, can you tell if you're still enough?"
"Yes, they don't move, but they have a faint beep inside them, and I suspect that any living automaton will make this sound. ”
"Good. Shul nodded, "Monitor movements at all times." ”
"Understood. ”
"Chief, turn. Macajaren suddenly alerted, "There are strange mechanical beasts ahead, buried in the ground and only the top is exposed, and it is easy to step on them if you pass in a straight line." There are other automatons patrolling around. ”
"Will the other automatons ever step on them?" Shure asked.
"Yes. ”
"Then keep the original route, don't dodge, just step on it, and pay attention to the lighter step. Shul said without even thinking about it, "It's just another test." ”
The shadowchasers soon saw what Macageren described as a strange half-meter-diameter golem, buried in the earth motionless, with no apparent effect on them.
"Yo Yo Yo, I saw it, it's the bunker. Stepping on the top of the machine continuously, the shadow chasers never aroused the vigilance of the mechanical beast, but Lin Jing, who had the best eyesight, suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look to the right, fifteen degrees." ”
There were a few identical automatons, but one side had been cocked, revealing two swarthy barrels from below the metal plane at the top, targeting the direction of Sky City, apparently on high alert.
"Pass quickly, don't go through the bunker front. "Especially Moria, don't let Delia behind you pass in front of the bunker, I'm afraid they have a special way of seeking enemies." ”
"Got it. Lin Jing can be happy about this kind of thing, and I don't know what she is happy about.
"Stop. However, not long after leaving the bunker array, Shul suddenly raised his hand and ordered a ban, and the shadowchasers stopped almost simultaneously in two seconds, as if they had already discussed it.
"Something is wrong on the ground. Shure crouched down and groped lightly on the ground, "This should already be the confines of the city. ”
