Chapter 339: Hope of Ascending to Lv9

The footsteps are heavy, and they can be reached by weighing at least a few hundred kilograms. Although the pace is not fast, step by step, it gives people a mountain-like feeling. When fused with the echoes of the underground, the sound was particularly terrifying.

Hu Siming and Shi Niu naturally thought of a picture of a terrible big man walking towards him.

After a whole year of fighting, the two of them have a fairly accurate grasp of sound and distance. At once, it was deduced that the sound was no more than sixty or seventy meters away from the entrance of this underground palace, and it was still approaching. With this sound, a fiery red light faintly lit up in the depths of the dim entrance to the dungeon.

The two of them stepped up their attack on the remaining three Golden Guards as they looked over.

Just four or five seconds later, the sound of footsteps approached the entrance of the dungeon. With the faint light of fire on its body, the two of them clearly saw the figure of this guy. He is only one meter and a half tall, which is at least one head shorter than the slightly chubby Shi Niu. However, its body is made entirely of specially treated bronze, heavy and sturdy. On the long and short mechanical arms, there is an oversized steel saw chain, which is exaggerated and hideous.

Hu Siming and Shi Niu glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's fright.

In the underground palace where there is an alchemy real yàn room control hub, there is such a terrible mechanical puppet. The three golden guards in front of them alone were enough for them, and with such a guy who was very difficult to mess with at first glance, the two of them would never be able to fight. Almost immediately, Hu Siming ordered the priest to retreat. Since he was not attacked, Hu Siming directly canceled the summoning, exchanged glances with Shi Niu, turned around and retreated to the ground.

Naturally, the three golden guards refused to give up and quickly chased after them.

But Hu Siming and Shi Niu have an acceleration aura, and their movement speed has broken 300 points. In just a few seconds, the two of them retreated back to the ground floor. As if there was some restraint on the way, the three golden guards stopped in front of the staircase leading to the ground, and wandered around the neighborhood. After a few moments, the Golden Guard completely lost his hatred and slowly retreated to the entrance of the dungeon, turning into a sculpture again.

The terrifying mechanical puppet that didn't have time to catch up with the battle also circled around and then retreated back to the center of the dungeon.

"Scary Guy ......"

Hearing the footsteps completely away, the two of them cautiously walked down again. This time, they were not in a hurry to make a move, but discussed the puppet with the steel saw chain. Before turning to leave, Shi Niu used the Eye of Discernment to obtain all of its information.

【Bronze Puppet Flame Bather】

Ancient mages used rubies resembling true red crystals as the core of kinetic energy to create puppet puppets. Before the destruction of the Arcane Empire, they were generally used as guards without rest.

Rating LV14, Green Name Elite.

1000 HP, 60-72 Attack, 6 basic armor (normal), 10% evasion.

Has the Bronze Build, Fire Bather, and Self-Destruct skills.

Bronze Build: Special bronze armor that gives the bronze puppet amazing defensive power. Take any physical damage and force a 20 nerf.

Fire Bather: Activates the fire energy contained in the ruby to form a sacrifice around the body. Units within 300 radius of the puppet will take fire damage for 10 points per second.

Self-Destruct: Activated when the caster's HP drops below 20%, using all remaining energy to greatly strengthen your combat power. When the self-destruct program is activated, gain +50 attack speed and +50 movement speed for 15 seconds. When the time is over, the bronze puppet automatically destroys miè.

"Bronze Puppet?"

After reading its attributes, Hu Siming gasped.

It's not like he hasn't dealt with monsters of this level. The last time he returned to the real world, he teamed up with Su Xishui to kill an elite monster of the same level. At that time, although his strength was far inferior to now, his companion was an elite senior sister. After that, in the rookie confrontation, they also killed the Lord Demonic Beast that was stronger than this. But at that time, the three of them joined forces, and their teammates had Gui Yu, who had turned on the refraction talent, and there were runes nearby, and they brushed out runes such as Restore Fù and Double.

This time, two of them were ordinary level lv8 students, and they had to face a puppet whose strength seemed to be stronger than last semester!

Hu Siming's judgment is not exaggerated at all. Although the attributes of the bronze puppet are similar to those of the gloomy half-dragon human skeleton, the three major skills are very strong. The first Bronze Construct is immune to 20 physical damage, directly blocking one-third of their output. The second Fire Bather is a sacrifice with a different name, or a weakened version of the lightning shield, which has no way to hide, but can only resist damage. The third skill self-destruct is even more perverted, and the attack speed and movement speed are all increased by 50 points, which is like going berserk.

This strength is definitely a notch stronger than the bones of a half-dragon man!

"It's hard to fight. ”

Shi Niu spit out three words, and he also felt tricky. The three skills are better, and the two of them can leave the control skills in advance, and retreat and avoid the battle after being stunned. After fifteen seconds, this guy will self-destruct. The key is the first and second skills, after the fire bather is activated, the two of them only need to get close to it for fifty seconds, and the continuous flame alone can burn them to death. However, if you want to fight quickly, you will encounter 10% dodge and damage reduction of a skill.

In front of this elite monster, footwork and skills are not very useful, and they can only resist with potions at the same time as output.

Luckily, the collaborators also have a mercenary priest!

Shi Niu glanced at Hu Siming, and felt some comfort in his heart. He remembered that the healing cooldown of Hu Siming's priest was only 5 seconds, and he could recover 40 points at a time, and he could heal more than a dozen times in a row. Combined with the potion, it can basically counteract the continuous burns of the firebather.

This opponent, with some strength, can still fight.

Coming to this conclusion, he took action with Hu Siming. The two of them repeated their old tricks and went down to kill one more of the Golden Guards, which unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the bronze puppet. This time the two of them had experience, and they consciously retreated before the footsteps approached. This went back and forth twice, and the two of them killed all the four golden guards at the entrance of the dungeon. Although it did not drop, with the help of the energy saver's bonus, Hu Siming's experience energy was quite close to rising to lv9.

The last lv14 elite made Hu Siming really see the hope of upgrading.

He suppressed his impulse, patiently recovered with Shi Niu, and took the opportunity to discuss the specific response plan. In most cases, it was Hu Siming who was talking, Shi Niu was just listening and analyzing, and occasionally he would agree with it, or maybe say a few words.

Of course, their original purpose was to get the crystal ball of the control hub, and they didn't have to kill the bronze puppet. As long as one person lures it away, the other person may not have a chance to sneak into the dungeon and take control of the hub. However, once that is done and the Libra master who is waiting outside comes in, the rich experience and reward of killing the elite monsters may not be relevant to them. Because of this, both of them tacitly did not mention this possibility, but decided to try it first.

If it's really hard to deal with, it's not too late to use this plan in the end.

After resting and recuperating and returning to the full power, Hu Siming and Shi Niu walked into the dim underground palace. Since they didn't know if there were any other guards besides the bronze puppet, they didn't dare to be careless, and tiptoed to search step by step. When necessary, Hu Siming sent out an illusion to explore the path again.

I have to say that with such an illusion ability that lasts for 20 seconds, it is much more convenient in similar situations.

As mentioned earlier, the layout of the basement floor is probably a gourd-shaped shape. There is only one entrance, and it is quite narrow, and the further you go inside, the larger the area. After going nearly a hundred meters deep and ignoring the closed rooms on both sides, the two of them gradually came to the end of the underground floor under the guidance of the illusion.

This is a hall of several hundred square meters of underground palace.

Around the hall, there are many magical devices that do not know the purpose. On the stone floor, countless magical lines and runes were carved horizontally and vertically. At the nodes where the lines intersect, a large number of magic gems are also placed. In the center of these lines and the entire circular dungeon hall, there was an invisible force holding up a crystal ball. The crystal ball, about the size of a baby's head, is round and radiant, emitting a hazy fluorescence, and is the core of the magical enchantment that controls this six-pointed star hall.

The bronze puppet stood quietly next to the crystal ball. There is no other movement, and the light yì will not leave, faithfully fulfilling the tasks assigned by the mages thousands of years ago.

At this moment, sensing the invasion of a strange human, the dark red fire on its body fluctuated, and it waved the steel saw chain on its mechanical arm and strode towards the two of them. The control hub is the core of this palace, and even if the two of them have a patchwork of identity marks, they are not allowed to enter. Therefore, the bronze puppet directly skipped the verification and attacked the two of them.

As had been agreed beforehand, the two began to retreat.

The reason why I didn't fight in this wide hall was because I was afraid that there would be an unknown magic trap nearby, and secondly, because I was worried that the battle would damage the control hub. With their current strength, they can easily destroy hard rocks with all their might. Even if the control hub here is magically reinforced, it may not be safe. The two of them would rather be more secure and pull the battlefield out rather than get sideways.

After running a few dozen meters, Hu Siming and Shi Niu stopped.

The former used a second to summon the priest again, while the latter used high-level treasures to start increasing his strength. While the two were preparing, the bronze puppet had already caught up. Its heavy steps may seem slow, and it is not tall, but due to its inhuman body, it can take a long step with each step, so it is not slow. The priest had just had time to add spiritual fire to Shi Niu when the bronze puppet had already picked up the steel saw chain and sawed towards Shi Niu.

The sharp serrations of shark teeth flickered with a deadly cold light in the dim dungeon, making people daunting.

The chain is long, almost matching the height of the bronze puppet, and the change of direction increases its attack range. Shi Niu took a step sideways, dodged its saw chain, and rushed forward.
