Chapter 302: Puppet Clan
The so-called core area of the Green Source Lab is essentially the mage tower of Grand Arcanist Vic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info uses his own mage tower as the core of the laboratory, and controls the half-plane where the laboratory is located, which is a tradition in the Arcane Empire era.
In fact, until now, many legendary mages still follow this habit, such as Quinir's Tower of the Woods, which is the core of their control of the half-plane. It's just that because Quinnir doesn't need to research as many arcane artists from the Arcane Empire era like Vic, he didn't make full use of the half-plane and expand it into a large laboratory.
Of course, although the mage tower is named after the tower, it is a general term for the place where a mage is rooted, and it does not necessarily exist in the form of a tower. Like the core area of the Luyuan laboratory, because the research objects are mainly plants, which require a lot of space, as well as sufficient sunlight and water, the use of traditional tower-like forms is not suitable for experimental research.
Therefore, in order to provide sufficient space and good experimental conditions for various experiments, the layout of the core area is not much different from those test areas in the inner layer, which are relatively independent laboratories. In particular, several key projects such as Purple Bloodwood, which are valued by the high-level, are all set up separately, occupy a considerable site and area, and have many supporting facilities. In addition, there are important functional buildings such as data rooms, energy control centers, warehouses, etc., so the area of the core area is not small.
However, even if the area is quite large, the Mage Tower is a Mage Tower after all, and the space on the periphery is extremely tightly prohibited. Without special permissions, you can't enter at all. And even if Luo Sheng and the others relied on the authority that Grover had cracked out to enter the core area, they only entered the edge of the core area, and there was still a considerable distance from the real center of the core area, that is, the core circle of the entire laboratory.
And after the preliminary agreement was reached, the three parties, each with their own thoughts, and it could even be said that they had their own ghosts, did not dare to delay any longer, and directly marched towards the core magic circle. Once Taling awakens, it will be a huge threat to everyone, so before suppressing Taling, the goals of the three parties are quite the same, and they will not have other thoughts.
However, to the surprise of the four people, on the way to the center of the core area, the expected puppet resistance did not appear, and the four of them did not even find any trace of the puppet guards, as if there were no puppet guards in the entire core area.
Of course, the absence of puppet guards does not mean that the core area is defenseless. Outside of each of the independent labs, there are extremely obvious spatial prohibitions, and the strength is not even weaker than the spatial prohibitions in the outer layer of the previous half-plane. With a ban of this intensity, unless they use the legendary hole cards in their hands, it is difficult for the four of them to break the ban in a short period of time, enter these laboratories, and search for the information or treasures inside.
Therefore, Luo Sheng, who originally wanted to find an opportunity to enter the laboratory of Purple Blood Wood and first get the research materials of Purple Blood Wood and the mother of the tree species, gave up this idea after testing the strength of the space prohibition in each laboratory. After all, the most important thing at the moment is to suppress Taling's awakening. If you make a move on Purple Blood Wood now, you will not only expose your purpose, but also delay a lot of time and energy, and the gains will outweigh the losses. So Luo Sheng just took advantage of the opportunity of the temptation to leave a small mark on the laboratory prohibition of Purple Blood Wood, and returned to the team.
In addition to the spatial prohibitions that protect individual laboratories or special buildings, the core area is also full of various hidden spell traps. Not only are these traps extremely stealthy, but they are also able to move within a certain range and are actively triggered. Therefore, even though Luo Sheng and the other four were all good at perceptual ability, and their reaction sensitivity was better than that of most gold-level masters, they still hit the trick several times. Even Ini Lin Ge, who has the Eye of the Luna, was unable to maintain the opening of the Eye of the Moon for a long time because of the excessive consumption of divine power after the plot, and he also fell into a labyrinth.
But fortunately, both Grover and the Gal siblings have raised their vigilance after learning what happened to Rason. Although they were not able to completely avoid the trap after self-activation, they were able to launch corresponding means at the first time to break the trap's shackles. Therefore, even though the speed of travel was slightly slowed down because of the need to guard against traps, it didn't take too long for Luo Sheng and his party to reach the center of the core area. Here, a mage tower that is green as a whole and even faintly carries the breath of life of trees stands tall, and the core circle of the entire half-plane is in the mage tower.
"The defenses are really concentrated here! There are forbidden air circles and many traps on it, and if you want to break through, you can only defeat these guards. At this time, the two of them are going to show their real skills. Otherwise, we won't be able to seal the Tower, and everyone will be doomed. After activating the Luna Eye and taking a look at the situation inside through the outer prohibition of the Mage Tower, Ini Lin Ge said with a solemn expression.
At this time, in the green mage tower, there were not only more than thirty gold-level puppet guards, but also four arcane puppets more than two people tall, inlaid with multiple arcane crystals and various colored gems, and their aura reached the pinnacle of the golden order.
"Is it really troublesome for the assembled puppet legion team?"
Generally, the puppet guards of the golden rank, because the combat mode is relatively dull and the means are poor, although the attack and defense capabilities have reached the golden level, but when the number is relatively small, it actually does not pose much threat to Luo Sheng and others. As long as you have the combat power of the gold level, with some flexible means, it is not difficult to solve. Even some silver-tier mercenary teams have the ability to take out the puppet guards who drop a single order.
But once the number of these puppet guards rises and teams are formed, the situation is completely different. These puppets are like soldiers on the battlefield, and when they are brave, they can't deal with mercenaries who are more powerful and flexible. But after forming a battle array, it can crush the same number of mercenaries with stronger combat power.
The reason why Mickey dared to control the ancient tree mecha before, and took eight gold-level puppet guards to block Luo Sheng and others, and even felt that he had a great advantage, was because the eight puppet guards could already form a basic battle formation, coupled with the command of the ancient tree mecha, it was enough to crush the vast majority of gold-level enemies.
In fact, if it weren't for Luo Sheng's quick solution to the ancient tree mecha in the first battle, and disrupted the situation on the battlefield, so that the puppet guards were not able to form a battle formation, even if the Gal Lin Ge brothers and sisters used their hole cards, the battle situation might not be so easy. And now directly facing more than thirty puppet guards, and the core of the battle array is the most mature arcane puppet in the Arcane Empire, with almost no obvious weaknesses, the difficulty of dealing with it can be imagined.
"Use the Legendary Scrolls. Otherwise we simply won. ”
