406 The Fourth Gate of Truth
The reliefs on the walls are several notches higher than those on the ground.
Even if the two belong to the same civilization, the palaces here are certainly relics left over from before the mass extinction of mankind, and the surviving craftsmen did not have this craftsmanship.
Unless it is built by a group of craftsmen composed of transcendentals, with the current strength of the three kingdoms, who can dispatch so many transcendents as craftsmen.
In addition, most of the human civilization that survives on the ground is mainly built with masonry and wood.
The building materials used here are mainly metals.
If the three kingdoms had such construction techniques, those royal nobles would definitely be preserved.
[Tentacle Surprise Hasta] led the group onwards, and just as they were about to step into the main hall, the ground shook.
It seemed that some kind of mechanism had been triggered, and everyone immediately became vigilant and looked around.
A large amount of smoke and dust erupted from under the moss-covered stone pillars, and arches fell.
A humanoid warrior in armor walked out of the stone pillar along the archway.
Some of them were armed with spears and artillery, and some were armed with all kinds of cold weapons.
Players pitched for an identification technique, but the information displayed was unexpected.
"Race: Automata"
Rank: Undefinable
"Synopsis: Intelligent mechs created by ancient humans, and their ratings are different from those of this era. Don't be fooled by the fact that they are made by humans, as they are now corrupted and will treat intruders as enemies. ”
Mechanical Creation?!
I didn't expect that the ancient human beings were more technologically advanced than the three surviving kingdoms, or that the intelligent mecha left over from ancient times were not as powerful as the current transcendents, so they were eliminated, and modern people didn't bother to use them at all.
But these smart mecha look majestic, not like vase decorations that are weak and can be broken at the slightest touch.
And they're also located in underground ruins, so even in an open world, players won't be able to spot them right away.
Its carved building craftsmanship is not as casual as that of the Novice Village, not to mention that there are a large number of bronze and silver-level monster activities outside.
If they had shattered at the slightest touch, the underground palace would have been wiped out by those monsters.
Some players don't believe in evil and feel that there are too many things in this game that don't follow common sense.
Those smart mechs might just be a bunch of vases, a reward for those who explore here.
Seven or eight melee players with bronze strength rushed forward and attacked the intelligent mechs that surrounded them.
However, in just one round, these players were defeated by the intelligent mechs with lightning speed.
Even the Silver melee on the team couldn't see what they were doing.
"Judging by their speed, their strength is equivalent to the gold level." Said a Silver player.
"! We've stabbed the boss's nest. ”
"I guess there are stronger mechs inside, these are just doormen."
Players are talking.
There are a total of three silver-level players who follow [Tentacle Raid Hasta].
They looked at each other and attacked like a mechanical being.
The mechanical creature that was about to be besieged quickly retreated, echoing the other intelligent mechs beside it.
The three silver-level players knew that this exploration was unlucky, and without any hesitation, they still rushed over in their own way.
Even conservative defense is a chronic death, so it's better to go out and test their details to see if these smart mecha really have gold-level combat power.
The three of them were soon surrounded by the mechas, and after a terrible howl, they all died.
The rest of the players no longer sat still and rushed out with them.
The smart mecha carrying the cannon fired at once, and many players were shot into a sieve before they could open their aura.
Large-caliber bullets pierced their bodies, leaving hideous bloody holes in their wake.
[Tentacle Surprise Hasta] did not make a move, witnessing the scene of players being killed in seconds.
After the smart mecha cleaned up the players who resisted, they invariably turned their heads to look at [Tentacle Surprise Attack Hasta].
A knife-carrying mecha slowly walked towards him, and [Tentacle Surprise Attack Hasta] did not resist, just stood in place and waited silently for death.
However, instead of killing him with a single sword, the mecha restrained him with a steel rope and took him to the depths of the palace.
[Tentacle Surprise Hasta] lit up, and turned on the camera function to record the internal environment.
There was a fork in the upper and lower floors on the floor of the palace, and he was taken to the lower area of the palace.
The stairs in the lower area were bottomless, and the mecha walked slowly for more than ten minutes before reaching the ground floor.
A door to truth is erected here, and there are large and small prisons scattered around it.
The cells were littered with all sorts of bones and powders, ranging from the size of the human thumb to the height of a large three- or four-story building.
The area you pass through on the way looks like a research institute, and there are a large number of bones and unidentified biological tissues on display.
The abandoned ground is littered with human skeletons, and it looks like they're the human guards and researchers here.
The largest cell behind the Gate of Truth was filled with a large amount of black powder, and if it was the ashes of some creature, it was the size of Godzilla.
[Tentacle Surprise Hasta] was shocked, those bones and powder could not all be otherworldly creatures from the other side of the Truth Gate.
The palace must have been used to suppress the door of truth in front of you, but for some reason the palace has fallen, and the technology that used to exist no longer exists, leaving only these lifeless intelligent mechs still guarding it.
Judging from the route of the mech guards escorting him, the lower area of this palace is in an inverted triangle.
Most of the area along the route is covered in unidentified metal, and the exposed areas have left signs of destruction.
I think there must have been a great battle in ancient times that destroyed this palace fortress.
Below the lowest floor, where the Truth Gate and the cell are located, the remains resembling a jet device can be seen.
Before entering the palace, [Tentacle Attack Hasta] had speculated that the palace should have been located on the ground or in the sky.
But at that time, everyone had heard of legends such as floating islands in this world, so they felt that the latter inference was unreliable.
Now it seems that this is an ancient ruin floating in the air.
It must have been designed to keep the door of truth away from the ground that would attract otherworldly creatures.
The intelligent mechs that remain in it are the gatekeepers, and if there is an invasion of otherworldly creatures, they will be eliminated or imprisoned for research.
If you think about it this way, it may just look like a palace, but it is actually a huge fortress.
