Chapter 24: The Flea Guards

"Did you change the structure of the room causing problems with the teleporter......" Darkwater muttered.

I said...... Big brother, can you quickly find a handprint and then analyze the problem. The gunsmith complained.

It turned out that Darkwater, Sueside, and the gunsmith were also teleported into a very small space, and unfortunately, they still stayed in a space that was horizontal like a coffin.

The gunsmith was pressed face down, and Sueside and Darkwater were curled up on their knees, soles to feet, face to side, lying on top of the gunsmith, and the three were almost completely immobile.

"The trap should have been activated, but I can't see the information on the wall, I don't know what it is. ”

"Whatever it is, please erase this unpleasant memory of mine. The gunsmith said.

Suyside also felt that this state was very bad, and bowed his head and said: "There is a handprint symbol in front of me, I can reach out and press it, how about pressing it now?"

Darkwater said: "Wait a minute, I'll try to change the position of my eyes to see what is going on around me. ”

The gunsmith couldn't bear it anymore, and in his opinion, it was useless for Dark Water to adjust his eyes to any angle, even if he turned his two eyes into tentacles and stretched out to stare in the air...... In this coffin-like place, about 40% of the six walls are covered by the bodies of three adult men, and they are not visible at all.

So before Dark Water could finish speaking, the gunsmith said, "I don't care! I'm going to press it! I've got one in front of my forehead!" and he said just do it, and without waiting for the other two to react, he struggled to reach out and pressed it on the only handprint symbol he could reach.

The three of them teleported along the way, and it was still the same, the green light was bright, and it was dark. At the moment of teleportation, people will completely lose their sense of existence, and this process may be less than a second, or in another dimension, they will spend a long time as if it were an eternal version...... In short, when one feels that one can open one's eyes, one has already regained consciousness.

This time they came to a curved corridor, the top was high, but the width of the corridor was only about a meter, and adults felt a little narrow when they stood in it.

"What is this structure?" asked the gunsmith.

Dark Water said: "This should be a ring-shaped room, like a ring. ”

"Why is the top so high, so narrow on both sides?" said the gunsmith again.

"Do you remember the cylindrical room?" Darkwater replied.

The gunsmith was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and measured the height: "This circular room is outside the room with mechanical centipedes before?"

"It's very likely, but there may not be a direct teleportation sigil between adjacent rooms, and it may take several locations to get there. Dark Water explained: "By the way, the trap in that room just now should be suffocation, and the two of you are looking ugly now." ”

When the gunsmith heard this, he turned around and looked at Sueside behind him, and the two of them were shocked when they saw each other's purple faces: "Hey, you're going to die, aren't you?"

The corners of Sueside's mouth twitched, "You're no better." Then he thought of something else and asked, "By the way, where did the other two go?"

Darkwater replied: "When the same teleportation sigil is teleported due to a change in the structure of the room, the target pointing point should be the same, and they will teleport to a room very similar to what we just experienced, with the ability of the advisor...... There's a high chance they'll see through the suffocation trap and get out of danger quickly, but it's impossible to estimate where they'll teleport next. ”

"What then? How can we find them?" Sueside was nervous, for to the Iron Commandment, Vanessa was as important as the advisor to the Reverse Cross, if not more. If it weren't for the willfulness of this lord, the Grand Master would not have been able to control her, and no one would have dared to let her go down to this ruin in person.

"I've explained to the advisor the various principles and possibilities of the ruins, and as long as he hasn't been killed by the trap, he's 90% likely to stay where he is, and when I get to the core room, I'll know the state of all the rooms, and I'll be able to go and save them. But traps and defenses will still be there, and they can't be turned off once they're turned on. Darkwater's answer reassured Sueside a little.

Sueside thought for a few seconds and asked, "Why can't the trap be closed?

"Quite simply, to prevent being turned off by intruders. ”

Sueside didn't believe it, "What if the builder of the ruins triggered the trap?"

The gunsmith laughed: "Hahaha...... Haven't you seen it yet? The trap here is useless to the people of their race in Darkwater, so what if they can't turn it off? And there is no such thing as 'misoperation' in a guy like Darkwater, in fact, I suspect that there is no such thing as 'mistake' in their race's dictionary, so if the ruins' defense system is activated, it must have been triggered by the invaders. It's a very reasonable design, but it's hard to understand from our human point of view. ”

Dark Water continued: "If it weren't for the sake of carrying more treasures, I could have entered the core alone, but the reality is full of surprises. The equipment in those hiking bags was not important, the key was to hold treasures, but the sudden situation of the temperature drop made the time tight and limited, and now the bags are also lost. I think the plan at this moment must have been turned into taking as many treasures as possible, then rescuing the advisor and Vanessa, and finally escaping the ruins together. ”

The gunsmith said, "The premise is that after we reach the core, the two of them are still alive." ”

Sueside said: "Okay, I understand, then hurry up and continue." ”

Dark Water suddenly said, "Before that, we have to deal with this guard." ”

"What guards?" the other two asked in unison.

"That mechanical guard behind you. Darkwater looked at the rapidly approaching shadow behind Sueside, and as he answered the question, he propped his hands on the wall, rolled over and jumped up, falling and blocking between Sueside and the shadow.

This road is very narrow, on the same plane, can not play the advantage of numbers, facing the enemy can only be one-on-one. The gunsmith and Sueside were also battle-hardened, and they immediately realized what was wrong, and they both jumped into the air, their legs resting on the walls on either side of the curved corridor.

From a high vantage point, they could see that the mechanical guards who were confronting the dark water were not looking like large insects, they were clearly alone!

In order to help Sueside fend off the opponent's attack, Dark Water barely had time to make a defensive posture after falling, only to see the mechanical guard punch Dark Water through the chest, and a puddle of black water sprinkled on the ground and walls behind him like splashing ink, but for him, this attack was completely pediatric.

In fact, Darkwater can fully withstand the damage of this punch, raising the surface skin near the force point to a hardness sufficient to resist this punch. But he deliberately chose another way, which can be said to be to overcome rigidity with softness, allowing the other party to penetrate his torso. As a result, the mechanical guard fell into passivity at this moment, its arm was dragged by the solidified and retracted black liquid, and it was stuck in the chest cavity of the dark water and could not be recovered.

Darkwater's eyes flashed, and he quickly raised his right hand, his forearm twisting and deforming into jagged shapes, and slashed at the mechanical guard's neck with a snort. Unexpectedly, after the muffled sound of the gold and iron clashes, this blow not only failed to cut through the metal shell, but also did not leave even a single scratch.

Darkwater's actions are reasonable, and his attacks have considered the possibility of such an outcome in advance, so he still has a backup move. Its jagged forearms suddenly spun on their own like a chainsaw, and began slicing through the mechanical guard's neck. A cacophony echoed through the hallway, and golden sparks danced in the space that was originally composed of black metal walls and cyan light sources.

"Hey, doesn't it mean that you can only imitate those animals with underdeveloped brains to generate mechanical guards? Why is this humanoid? Terminator?" The gunsmith saw that the dark water and the mechanical guards were in full swing, and of course he couldn't be idle, so he took out the bone gun, switched to burst mode, and launched a cover shot at a high place, trying to suppress the opponent with firepower. Although he was a good person, those light bullets didn't seem to work on the mechanical guards.

The Dark Sailor was doing "carpenter's work", and his tone was still the same: "Although it looks like it has a humanoid body, it may have a ...... brain" Before he could finish speaking, the humanoid mechanical guard leaned forward, and with a hard fight on its hind legs, it bounced like a cannonball, and then rushed towards Sueside in the high ground.

Seeing this, the gunsmith fired three more shots, all of which hit the mechanical guard in the face, but the opponent still did not slow down and was unharmed.

The teleportation to this circular room was caused by the gunsmith pressing the sigil indiscriminately, and it is likely that the three of them did not advance further to the core, but retreated backwards to some room on the periphery. However, judging from the strength of this mechanical guard, the security level here is still very high.

Suyside is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and those with strong abilities are definitely not weak, and in the face of the mechanical guards who rushed towards him, he firmly clamped the opponent's neck with only one hand, stopping the opponent's rapid advance.

"Is the brain a toad?" said Sueside, continuing Dark Water. In the face of this murderous trap, his tone was still calm. In fact, he has wanted to show it for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity. No matter what, his own strength is also affirmed by the organization, the place of Guanzhi County is not easy to mix, there are strong hands in the Iron Commandment, and the people who can be entrusted with important tasks in this place in Rome can really be looked down upon by a small organization like your Reverse Cross?

Sueside was silent on the surface, but he secretly strengthened his hand, trying to break the other party's neck, but after three seconds, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "The shell of this thing is so strong......

The humanoid guard's neck couldn't even be cut into the hand that had turned into a chainsaw, and of course it was impossible for Sueside to do any damage with one hand. Unfortunately, the mechanical guard's intelligence is not human, it is really low, and the instinct did not let it fight back with its hands, but suddenly opened its mouth, and from its mouth stretched out sharp mouthparts, straight to Sueside's face.

"Oh...... It turned out to be a flea. As he spoke, Sueside easily grasped the strange lightning-like mouthparts with his free other hand.

In fact, this half-human, half-flea mechanical guard is more powerful and deadly than any kind of trap they have encountered before, and if measured according to the usual set of ability level theory, this "flea man" mechanical guard can be regarded as a strong level. You know, in the outside world, in addition to the members of the factory, there are few special cases in the world that can be achieved by relying on mechanical transformation. What's more, the mechanical guard in front of him doesn't even have a physiological part at all, it is 100% composed of pure machinery, and the only person who can make similar combat weapons on the earth today is the toy marshal of the reverse cross.

And the sharpest point is that this guard is designed using flea's AI and genes combined with humans......

Fleas belong to the category of completely metamorphosed insects, and of course, this "total metamorphosis" refers to the biological one, not to the spiritual aspect. The shell of this insect can bear a weight of 90 times its weight, it can jump a distance of 350 times its length, and it can live for 12 months without eating any food and half a year after sucking a few mouthfuls of blood...... If there is a superhero - Flea Man, then this hero's superpower is that he can fall from a height of 1,000 meters and fall off the hard ground unharmed, can bear a weight of 1,000 kilograms and fall on himself from a height of 1,000 meters, can jump over the distance of a football field, and so on.

All in all, the mechanical guard's shell is extremely hard and combat-prohibitive, and it's no wonder that the gunsmith's bone gun doesn't leave a trace on his face.

It's a pity that this guy met Sueside, it can only be regarded as unlucky, the material of the mechanical guard is different from the black metal of the outer wall of the ruins, and there is no direct support from the core energy and outer repulsion system, so Sueside's ability can play a role in it.

Darkwater stood on the floor, looking up, his cyan eyes could see the change in energy. In his sight, the mechanical guard was eroded by energy from the head, and the effect quickly spread to the whole body, causing it to melt into molten iron in more than ten seconds.

After solving the trap, the two people who were propped up on the high place jumped back to the ground, and the gunsmith immediately said to Sueside: "You have a good ability, if it drops below zero later, you can use it to keep warm." ”

"I don't adjust the temperature precisely one degree at a time, but I quickly heat it up or freeze it quickly, and if the person's body temperature drops to twenty-five degrees, it will die, and if it is higher than forty degrees, it will be too high, and if I use my ability on the human body, it will quickly cause the other person to die. Sueside replied.

When the gunsmith heard this, he could only show a helpless expression and shrug his shoulders.

Seeing that the guards had been dealt with, Dark Water said, "You guys wait here, I'll go find the handprint, and after I find it, I'll start the teleportation directly." With that, he swam briskly to the heights, observing the cyan veins on the walls along the curved corridor and moving quickly.

If this circular room was indeed set outside the cylindrical giant just now, then this corridor would probably be quite far away, otherwise it would not have taken the mechanical guards about two minutes to kill them.

............

In another large room, the advisor and Vanessa stood at either end of the hexagonal platform, staring at the messy patterns on it for a long time, both silent.

This platform is one meter high, each side is more than two meters long, the six sides correspond to six patterns, and a larger pattern is drawn in the middle......

"Hey, genius, what do you see?" After ten minutes, Vanessa finally couldn't help but ask the advisor in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, she quietly looked up at the advisor every two minutes, but this kid always held his chin with his right hand, and his left hand on his right elbow, posing as a Grim Reaper schoolboy, looking like he was underbeaten.

"Why? I can't see the fame, so I become impetuous. The advisor replied with a smile.

Vinysa walked around to him and looked at the platform a few more times from his perspective, feeling that it was still the same, "Listen to your tone, do you see that the famous hall is coming?"

"Do you feel ......," the advisor said thoughtfully.

Vanessa looked at him, looking at the consultant's expression, she really understood something, she also became nervous, and continued, "What do you think?"

"It's a lot like a bed. The advisor replied with the same expression.

The next second, he was thrown out by an over-the-shoulder throw, and he fell on all fours.

"As a woman, but always rely on ......violence," the advisor rolled over, face down, and groped slowly upwards with one hand along her lower back.

"What are you doing?" Venisha looked at him and thought it was funny.

"I don't feel even the pain here, I have to feel my spine to see if there is any misalignment or fracture. The advisor replied.

"You're a man who really lives for you. Vanessa said.

"It is better to be killed in good health than to live in sickness. ”

"Hehe......" Vanessa smiled, "I think I heard a good way to torture you." ”

The consultant touched his spine and sat up after making sure he was okay: "What is it? Inject me with the virus?"

"It's also a good option to maim your limbs, and then help you heal them with surgery, deliberately inducing some complications or something. She had a happy look on her face, a look on her advisor's face when she was tortured.

The consultant knew what she was thinking when he looked at her expression, and replied maliciously: "Did you know that most people who are sugar-hungry, especially women, will have their life expectancy shortened by ten to twenty years, and after middle age, they will ignore genetics and cause obesity, gallstones and breast cancer. ”

"If you fall into my hands, by the time I reach middle age, I'm afraid you'll already be in a vegetative state. Vanessa replied.

The consultant sneered: "I'm looking forward to it, a fat woman who has undergone chest removal surgery, hair loss, and dentures is lying on the hospital bed next to me, and every day, when she turns her face, she can see a middle-aged vegetative person who is still very handsome." ”

Vanessa raised her eyes and glared at the advisor, who glared at her with similar eyes, and they all thought the same thing: If you fall into my hands, you will die......
