Chapter 72: Less and Less
"Where are you going? Stop!"
The tentacles beneath the lips of the octopus head opened and swayed, and a high-pitched question erupted from behind the tentacles. The people who were picking up garbage parts on the ground turned around one after another and looked at Qian Jing and the others strongly. Standing between the Earth-Ogre Coalition and the Trash Gang, his hand behind his back motioning for everyone to keep walking. "We wish you success, don't you wish us a smooth journey?"
"What if you leave and the guards betray our position?"
"If you meet the guards, there will inevitably be a fight. You still have the weapon I gave you in your hand, and as a result, you don't care about the damage caused by our battle with the guards, but worry about whether your whereabouts will be exposed. Qian Jing spat on the ground, deciding to let this kind of octopus head who has nothing to do eat the consequences: "Selfish people like you, don't build a portal that can only be used by one person - don't forget to keep an eye on him." ”
"You don't care where we go, and if you want to stop it, it's up to you how determined you are. Hu Ga patted his belly and made a big drum sound: "We're still hungry!"
"Let them go, we'll have to hurry up and get our own business going. Someone said something, and many people agreed. The octopus head snorted and shook his hand vigorously. Qian Jing and the others guarded the octopus head and left the teleportation room quickly and vigilantly.
"Look, those elemental baton sticks are gone if they are given, it's a waste of time and there's a hidden danger. Villain, in this prison, not everyone is a good person like Big Daddy. ”
"Okay, it's just a few more words to explain the matter of getting out, there is no need to conflict with them. Remember, from now on, everyone needs to be vigilant. Liu Ming smiled at the two-headed ogre and said, "Huga, don't you use magic?
"For the sake of being a friend of the villain, we'll give you one. ”
The goal of seizing the control room is set, and it is necessary to move in the direction of the control tower. Liu Ming suggested that everyone catch a live mouth, and he would use his psychic ability to interrogate. As long as you can dig up the layout of the castle and the current situation of the enemy, you can make a targeted plan. Qian Jing volunteered to take on this job, he planned to draw a few more stickmen, so that they could take advantage of their lightness, small size, and fast speed to rush to the front to reconnoiter first.
Now he was followed by six stickmen, all with steel needles, hidden in the folds of their clothes, on guard in all directions. When he wanted to paint again, he immediately felt a wave of weakness in his body. Qian Jing understood that this was a sign that he had maintained too much soul shaping ink at the same time, and that he was approaching the limit of his body. In particular, the wellhead from the cell area to the underground passage takes up the most ink. He thought about it, and a long time had passed since all the cells had been opened for the prisoners to escape. If there are still people left, it is their own choice. So Qian Jing withdrew the soul shaping ink from the channel well, which was regarded as clearing the memory and making his body easier.
"Qian Jing, I heard your invisible friend's psychic message again, he was scouting in front? Liu Ming gave a thumbs up: "If you can, let him observe the dust on the ground, the cleaner the corridor, the more likely he is to meet a magician." ”
This team of men and ogres is probably the most courageous, well-equipped, and united of all the prison escape groups. With two sets of leather scrolls that can open doors and pick locks, and several stickman scouts in all directions, they can advance by leaps and bounds, even with an intricate and unfamiliar system of underground passages.
It didn't take long for a raid to take place - the Earth Wing, of course, raiding the mages who were on guard and defending. Huga unleashed a directional flash of light, a blinding light with an electric current flowing everywhere to suppress the enemy, forcing them to hide in the shadows of the bunker, and one by one they had to close their eyes. At the same time, Liu Ming released a psychic blast, which was actually in the psychic communication, suddenly playing a huge explosion roar towards the other party, ensuring that they couldn't hear anything.
The red sticks rushed forward in a white light, and the two elemental baton sticks were ready to strike. I only heard four loud bangs in front of me, and the two fortress star mages had fallen to the ground, losing all their ability to resist.
"It's that simple?" Qian Jing felt a little incredible. In Qian Jing's understanding, in addition to being suddenly approached by someone, such as Qian Jing's strangulation of Ethan, the caster who distances himself and is always vigilant should be difficult to deal with. "Where's their magic? Isn't there protection? Isn't there a magic eye for surveillance, and it can't be prevented from a surprise attack?"
"Who are you helping, aren't you happy that the raid was successful?"
"Of course I'm happy, of course the easier the better, it's just ......" Qian Jing sighed: "I thought that the magician would be very powerful, at least many times more powerful than now." ”
"Reality is not art, and magicians are also people. The pen understood the meaning of Qian Jing: "The magic eye monitoring was affected by Liu Ming, and nothing useful could be transmitted." And after leaving the prison area, the magic eye has obviously become less, and there are many dead spots to take advantage of. Although magic is magical, maintaining the spell also requires constant physical exertion, and as long as it is a living being, no one can sustain it infinitely. Then, flashbangs, shock bombs, assault soldiers, Hu Ga is a contestant in the magic competition, and Red Stick is a specially trained assault player, if you can't win yet, it's not normal. The other side is not a fairy. ”
Qian Jing smacked his lips, still a little disappointed. The magician should have that feeling of destroying the world with his gestures, manipulating huge forces to do whatever he wants, but he didn't see it. Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about Hu Ga, who has always said that he is a very powerful mage, but when he fights, he puts a flash. If you display electric current on your fingers all day long, why should you release lightning and take down the enemy directly? If it hadn't been for the red stick that ended the battle quickly enough, Hu Ga would have rushed up together. What kind of system does a contestant in a magic contest become to charge like a warrior?
"Magic, indeed, has many magical effects, but in the end, it still uses the power of one person. The pen smiled and said, "Don't look at the magician who can fly, don't forget that the bird can fly too." The key to flying is the method, just moving from one place to another, it is not difficult to meet. The real difficulty is actually to build a grenade: how many people need to work together and how much knowledge can be gathered to make it. Therefore, it is easy to fly over and blow up all the enemies with a bang, which is difficult. ”
Qian Jing still couldn't understand that he was learning magic just to be stronger and more capable of booming? Of course, he also had combat power now, and the stickman could hit the enemy with a javelin, not without the power of a chicken. But neither Qian Jing nor Stickman have actually undergone combat training. To put it simply, when attacking the fortification, there is no such routine as others, and you have to worry about indiscriminate actions to disrupt the rhythm of the team, at most you can only defend yourself and pick up leaks. He pinned his hopes on magic to become stronger, only to hear the theory that "magic is inferior to grenades".
Phew, I don't believe it! Qian Jing decided to completely drive the theory out of his brain. Even if it is the truth, there will be exceptions, after all, in the end, whether it is magic, technology or other abilities, it is the people themselves who play a decisive role. The Fortress Star has a population of 300 million and one hundred and twenty great magicians, which means that this road is quite difficult to walk. But who said that he could not be one of the one hundred and twenty people, or even go to the first place? The prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and in the end he will have to struggle with heaven, earth, and people, especially with himself.
Just when Qian Jing was cheering himself up, Liu Ming had already completed the soul torture. On the surface, psychic torture is the forehead and forehead together, Liu Ming forcibly opened the other party's psychic communication channel, broke into the door and carried out a robbery. What this violent tactics left behind was a mess: the two captive magicians, battered in the brains, had now become like two fools. They leaned against the wall, drooling and laughing silly, squeaking from time to time, and waving their arms aimlessly. Qian Jing felt that they were a little pitiful like this, so he looked away.
"There's good news and bad news, and I've been able to make sure the information is accurate by verifying each other from these two magicians. Liu Ming punched the magicians one by one, causing them to fall asleep, and then said: "The magicians are busy building magic circles, and they can't spare enough manpower to fully suppress the prison escape for the time being, so they can only fortify in key areas, and it's a good opportunity for us to occupy the control tower." ”
Liu Ming asked for a piece of paper from Qian Jing and drew a brief map on it. "The Control Tower is on the left in front of us, close to the Manufacture where the mages gather, and the most heavily defended. There are three paths that can be crossed, all of which are like guards, but two of them have a magician, and the other has only an Aether Golem. The best thing to do is to lure the golems out of the way and then raid them from this path. ”
"Wait a minute, I sniffed out the conspiracy. You're not going to let Big Daddy go and lure the Aether Golem away, are you?" the ogre shook both heads together: "No, I won't be cannon fodder, I won't act alone, I'm going to control the tower." ”
"Huga, luring away the Aether Golem means that you will hardly encounter enemies until you reach the Control Tower. If you attack on other roads, you will most likely be surrounded by reinforcements from the enemy. Liu Ming said: "The Aether Golem is difficult to deal with, but you are familiar with its characteristics, at least you won't be in a hurry. Moreover, Qian Jing can go with you, and you can use the method of opening the door and passing through the wall to safely lead away the Aether Golem. ”
"This includes me?" Qian Jing was stunned for a few seconds: "I remember you said that I am a non-combatant?"
"Diverting the Aether Golem is the best solution so far. Qian Jing, you and Hu Ga's cooperation is also the best combination to lure away the ether golem. Liu Ming explained: "At present, there is no plan that is not dangerous. It's actually a safer way to lure the Aether Golem away, create a time for the three of us to pass, and then go into hiding. In addition to this path, we only have to storm the main path of the mage and the golem guard. ”
"One more assault like that. After Qian Jing finished speaking, he sighed, knowing in his heart that this kind of request was actually very risky, more risky than him going to lure away the golem. Flash, shock, assault, this mode works for flesh and blood magicians, and in front of the golem is to die. While creatures are paralyzed and tired, the golem is always alert and does not relax in the slightest. "Alright, if Huga is willing, then the two of us can go and lure away the Aether Golem. ”
"We followed the villain, three heads and three heads, in fact, it was originally two gangs. The ogre pinched his nose and said with an urn voice, "Let's drain the Aether Golem, and we'll separate." Don't command us anymore. ”
"I let everyone out, but I really didn't expect that we would have to go separately in the end. Qian Jing crooked his mouth and patted Hu Ka's arm: "Okay, think about it from another angle, the two of us actually only do one thing." They will continue to fight, charge, and find a way to drive this fortress - a lot of things, more tiring than us!
Fifteen minutes later, Qian Jing's opinion completely changed, the Aether Golem was definitely not trivial, and it was just that?! He and Hu Ga did find the Aether Golem at the predetermined location, and then began to try to lure it away. Since the Aether Golem would only act according to the established orders, and Hu Ga judged that it was in a state of "hiding, discovering, destroying, and returning to its place to hide", he decided to use the water mirror of the Qian Mirror to cooperate with Hu Ga's illusion to let the Aether Golem chase the Phantom to cause the state of diverting the tiger from the mountain.
The Aether Golem hit the nail on the head, chasing the illusion out of place. Liu Ming and the others successfully slipped in, but Qian Jing was discovered by the Aether Golem because he didn't pay attention to the reflection of the water mirror. So in order to survive, the two of them ran away, and the Aether Golem chased after them. I don't know if it's a convulsion or a malfunction, even if Qian Jing and Hu Ga hid in the room and locked the door, the Aether Golem still didn't give up, cutting the iron door with heat rays, and the gap was almost big enough, so it crashed in.
"What's wrong with this golem?" Qian Jing used the doorknob to keep the door open, using the obstacles to try to keep his distance from the Aether Golem and gain precious rest. They had been running for more than ten minutes with the Aether Golem in tow, but fortunately, the stickman was constantly exploring and guiding the way ahead, so that there were enough corners and rooms to hide in all the time. "Huga, if we can't go on like this, sooner or later we'll die of exhaustion, or accidentally bump into the magicians. Is there any way to do it?"
"Damn! The user must have made the mistake of prioritizing the destruction of the enemy before the guarded location!" "Huga is fat and wide, and has a lot of strength, but running has never been a forte. He was holding on to the wall and gasping for air, and not far away, heat rays were slicing hard at the door. "I'm tired, I'm tired! The only way for us to survive is to completely cut off the tracking! Qian Jing, quickly use the magic through the wall to take us out and hide underground!"
"No, I have to know how deep underground there is space for us, the depth is wrong, magic doesn't work!"
"So how about going up?" Hu Ga pointed to the top of his head: "Five meters up, ten meters at most, it's definitely empty." ”
Qian Jing slapped the ogre: "It's still two brains smart! Quick, I'll open the door to you, lead it away, I need time to draw." ”
Hu Ga took the paper that could open the door: "Five minutes at most, my physical strength is five minutes at most." ”
"Three minutes. Qian Jing said.
