Chapter 51: The Ancient Alchemy Laboratory (9)
"Are all ancient alchemists rats? To build a laboratory, you have to build a laboratory under the ground in the wilderness, and you are not afraid of being suffocated to death......
Despite Oriana's repeated assertion that the lab would not be sealed, Leach lit a torch and threw it down the stairs. After making sure that the air below was fresh, Leach shrugged his shoulders and complained with some unhappiness.
"Not really. It's just that alchemists often conduct some very dangerous experiments, so in order to avoid causing too much damage, they will build their laboratories underground. Moreover, in ancient times, alchemists were a group of stragglers, fighting on their own, and did not form an alchemical association as it does now, except for a few who were attached to the major forces, most alchemists advocated freedom. ”
"In order to avoid being disturbed at work, or to steal or rob the results of experiments, or to avoid enemies, lone alchemists choose deserted places to set up their laboratories. ”
With Oriana's explanation, the group also reached the end of the stairs.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a bronze gate carved with the pattern of an unknown magical beast.
After lighting the oil lamps on both sides of the gate, Oriana fumbled around the gate for a while, and after a few clicks, the door opened slowly.
"Sister Anna, you are so good, you know so much!" said Tali, with a look of adoration on her face.
"Hehe, it's nothing, in fact, there are only a few secret methods of alchemists, which may be difficult for outsiders, but for alchemists, as long as they understand the key points, it is no different from being defenseless. The tricky ones are the puppets. ”
"Hmph, Sister Anna, don't worry, it's just a pile of broken copper and iron, as long as they dare to come out, see if I don't smash them to pieces!" Tali patted her chest, looking coquettish.
"Okay, I'll be counting on you later. ”
"Don't worry, it's okay to leave it to me!"
Inside the gate, there is a hall that resembles an exhibition hall. On both sides are some of the owner's collections, some of the original style of swords and armor, more of some precious jewelry in glass cases, the most conspicuous is a black pearl the size of a fist.
On either side of each cabinet, there are armours with weapons in their hands, like guards guarding the treasure house.
"Wow, you're rich!"
With a scream, Lena and Tali, who saw the treasure, rushed forward desperately at the first time, and the first target was naturally the conspicuous black pearl.
Before Leach could even tell them to be careful not to trigger the mechanism, the two of them had already opened the glass case where the black pearls were stored.
"It's not good, everyone be careful!" Oriana, who also didn't have time to stop the two, changed her face and hurriedly reminded her.
As soon as she finished speaking, two secret doors suddenly appeared on the walls on both sides of the hall.
Inside the secret door, a little scarlet light appeared in the darkness, accompanied by a noisy metal collision sound, a strange metal monster like a lion and a tiger appeared in the hall, and surrounded Leach and the others.
The metal monsters were all of a similar pattern, each with two long pipe-shaped pipes on their backs, and the pungent smell of sulfur soon filled the hall.
Ignoring the frizziness of the two, Leach slashed at the first metal monster that flew up.
Leach was aiming at the weakest-looking limbs on the metal monsters, thinking that even if they couldn't be cut off, it would definitely greatly affect their balance and mobility, but obviously, he underestimated the combat ability and defensive strength of these metal monsters.
Leach's attack only sparked a few sparks on the metal monster's body, not only did it not make any achievements, but the metal monster also pounced on Saya with this force.
The current situation is the most unfavorable for Saya, a sniper, first, the space is too narrow to distance herself from the enemy, and second, her weapon is the most helpless against this inanimate form, if she is close, I am afraid that she will not have the power to fight back at all.
Fortunately, after Tali knew that she was in trouble, she had been on guard, and the metal monster that pounced on Saya was unable to borrow its strength in mid-air, and was just smashed by the steel ball she threw out.
At first, Leach wanted to use the additional effect of Lena's dark magic to contain and forcibly destroy the monsters in front of him, but seeing that Lena's dark swamp had no effect on the metal monsters, and even the corrosion technique, which had always been invincible as long as it was hit, did not have much effect, he knew that his idea would not work.
The bodies of these metal monsters seemed to have been treated with anti-magic, and after Orianna said something about it, Leach changed the arrangement.
"Everyone, get out into the corner! Tali, I'll try to lure them to you later, and your job is to smash them flat with your weapon, understand?"
"Roger, I've got it!"
After everyone retreated to the corner, Leach stood in front of the crowd, and guided the metal monsters that pounced one by one towards the direction where Tali was standing, relying on the unloading method of the family fighting spirit.
Tali also struggled to make up for her mistakes, and every time Leach brought a metal monster, she would smash the steel ball in her hand from top to bottom with all her might.
According to Oriana, in order to ensure the flexibility of these metal monsters, the part that connects the torso and limbs inside must not be too strong, so after her guidance, Leach came up with this stupid solution: rely on brute force.
As Oriana said, under Tali's full force, the metal monsters were smashed to the ground, their limbs broken, and they couldn't get up again.
By the time the two of them had finished cooking all ten metal monsters one by one, Tali was already a little out of strength, after all, the newly created weapons were still a little too heavy for her now.
"It seems that these guys are just bluffing, but they are not very powerful!" After dealing with these metal monsters, Leach felt that it was nothing more than that, if it weren't for the protection of the girls behind him, he would be able to handle it alone.
Oriana was not as optimistic as him, and when she heard this, she frowned and said, "Everyone should be on guard, according to the information I found, this metal monster is just the lowest-level mechanism beast, and it has no other means of attack except biting, as long as it is dealt with properly, it is easy to defeat." ”
"But high-level trap beasts are said to breathe fire and spit water, and it's not so easy to deal with them like they just did. ”
"Moreover, according to legend, there are some top-notch trap beasts, which are no different from the high-level martial artists of the human race, and are tireless and even more difficult, so I hope that there will not be such a thing here. ”
"By the way, in addition to the trap beasts, there may be some strange alchemy creatures in the alchemy laboratory, so I suggest that we hurry up and don't stay in the same place for too long. ”
