"What are they going to do?"

Cheng Shen, who was about to turn around and leave, did not disturb each other, suddenly stopped.

He saw that the group of monsters had just staggered past where he was hiding, and had stopped a short distance before coming.

Boom!

The burly Storm Trooper carried the giant axe and began to clear the surrounding trees, and the thick ancient tree that the two of them hugged together could not withstand four or five rounds of felling, and soon it collapsed with a bang, and the view obscured by the leaf crown suddenly became clear.

In the blink of an eye.

Dozens of Storm Troopers worked together to clear an open field in the dense forest.

They dismantled the heavy armor and turned it into silvery-white metal plates, which were neatly spread out at a height of about half a meter above the ground, with the help of residual tree stumps, forming a platform about thirty meters in diameter.

Followed by.

The dozens of unarmoured, revealing metal skeletons, resembling mechanical skeletons, pulled out a chunk of their spine from their torso.

Cheng Shen immediately noticed that the extracted spine was different from their structure, the Storm Soldier's body was made of metal, but the round and thick spine was made of spar, and the surface was carved with runes.

Each Storm Trooper carries a hedron cylinder that is somewhat different in shape.

They put together thirty-two cylinders to form a one-meter-high crystal tower, and the rune structure engraved on the tower became complete, and immediately inspired a brilliant thunderbolt, crackling and spreading.

Crackling!!

Suddenly, the entire silver-white metal platform was covered with lightning.

Dense thunder surged toward the center, weaving into a twisted grid.

Energy began to accumulate at the top of the crystal tower.

Crash......

Those special models of Storm Marines seem to exist to build this device.

The moment the crystal tower was formed, it was scattered into a single piece of metal components.

Around the platform, the thunder beasts gathered like wolves, and the floating thunder wizards all swallowed the energy emitted by the crystal tower.

They seem to be able to regain their state through this crystal tower.

It can also be fed back.

Increases the rate at which the Crystal Tower's energy is charged.

"This location is more than two thousand meters away from the nearest temple stronghold, is this also an ultra-long-range weapon of war?"

Cheng Shen quietly observed.

He didn't know what would happen to this crystal tower once its energy was stored to the limit, but from his standpoint.

Surely these monsters' plans will not be allowed to go their way.

"I haven't seen it, let's steal it first."

His eyes were like torches.

The sight blessed with innate ability instantly analyzed the device from the inside to the outside. And, while he understood the connotations of those runes, he also mastered the effects of these runes.

"It's actually a charging pile......

Cheng Shen was slightly stunned.

Judging from the effect of the rune combination alone, this crystal tower does not have the ability to attack, and basically excludes the possibility of being used as a weapon of war.

Its effect,

It is to provide lightning energy to targets in the surrounding area.

But its recovery strength is very exaggerated.

Cheng Shen had seen the Thunderstorm Chariot and knew that the energy required to activate the Thunderstorm Chariot was at least 500 units of magic energy.

Convert to Energy Crystal.

A low-grade spar like a primary energy crystallization requires fifty pieces!

Fifty Power Crystals can open five level 10 dungeon maps.

And that's just the minimum cost of a shot! To get the most out of the Thunderstorm Chariot's maximum attack effect, the energy cost must be tripled!

But in the crystal tower in front of him, at present, there is enough energy for the thunderstorm chariot to exert its strongest power and attack three times.

And that's not far from reaching its energy storage limit.

Cheng Shen understood that this crystal tower was obviously the "spring water" in the technology tree of Storm Castle.

It can provide a huge amount of energy supply to the combat units under its command!

No wonder.

It needs to be built far from the battlefield.

This kind of thing, once discovered by the enemy, will definitely be destroyed with all its might at all costs.

Even he was no exception.

Fighting an enemy with a supply depot is like the enemy attacking his temple stronghold, and if his only home advantage is leveled by the opponent, he will no longer be able to take advantage of the frontal battlefield.

In terms of the individual strength and number of combat troops, he would have been crushed by the opponent, and if it weren't for the defensive advantage of the territory, his iron-blooded soldier guards would be completely annihilated in a round of head-to-head confrontation.

"There are still too few combat units......"

Cheng Shen said secretly.

Although he can solve most of the battles by personal force alone, he is a lord after all, and he needs to do every trivial thing himself, so it will inevitably be cheaper......

Reflect on yourself.

Cheng Shen was not ready to let this crystal tower be built smoothly.

At the same time, he also realized that a similar crystal tower, Storm Castle, would definitely not be built with just one.

Fortunately, he suddenly wanted to launch a surprise attack on a whim this time.

Found out about this.

Otherwise, this place is so far away from the temple stronghold, completely out of the coverage of the watchtower, and there is a dense forest cover, once the fight starts, it will not be detected at all, and the battle situation will quickly fall into passivity.

That's when it's a big problem.

In a blink of an eye.

Cheng Shen did not expose his body and directly destroyed this crystal tower.

As a formation master, he had a hundred ways to deal with this purely magical technology product that could interfere with its normal operation without him knowing.

Destruction.

Just the most inferior means.

Cheng Shen only needs a slight change to completely change the role of this crystal tower.

He immediately released a wisp of spiritual power, and under the almost impenetrable protection of the monsters around him, he quietly merged into the power grid, and the intertwined power grid around the crystal tower was twisted for a moment, but quickly regained calm.

The monsters just glanced up.

No change was found.

He continued to be on patrol.

Soon, Cheng Shen stayed away from this area under the effect of triple concealment, and he turned on his innate ability, and his huge spiritual power instantly expanded to a radius of thousands of kilometers, capturing those areas where energy was concentrated.

a,

two-seater,

Three-seater ......

The five crystal towers scattered throughout the vicinity were all found by Cheng Shen.

What made him care was that several of the crystal towers had obviously been built for a long time.

The energy stored in it has reached a state of limit.

A fully charged crystal tower can provide a thunderstorm chariot with a maximum power consumption of 50 consecutive starts!

Extremely exaggerated!

And these crystal towers were apparently the first attack on him from Storm Castle yesterday, or even before.

It has already been built.

But none of them have played a role in the previous few battles.

The purpose is self-explanatory.

Cheng Shen couldn't help but rejoice.

He still underestimated the wisdom of the owner of Storm Castle.

He was just glad that he did not launch a general attack due to the opponent's command mistakes, and he made mistakes one after another, giving him ample opportunities for development.

But I don't want to.

The other party was also using the same means to numb his nerves.

The preparation for the general offensive, the other side was already ready at the moment of provoking the war!

The location of these five crystal towers was connected together, as if his territory and stronghold were already faintly enclosed. It's as if he is already in the possession of the mysterious castle owner!

Fortunately.

He found out in advance.

Cheng Shen was not at ease, so he expanded the search scope and carefully investigated for a while.

Sure enough.

Farther away, he found five more crystal towers.

These crystal towers, which have been built for a longer time, are already full of energy and can be activated at any time.

Not to mention the amplification of these towers to Storm Castle units.

Around each crystal tower alone, hundreds of monster units are gathered.

The total strength reserve of the ten crystal towers,

It's close to seven thousand!

This is a number that even Cheng Shen will feel powerless in a frontal battlefield!

Previously, whether he was facing a small reconnaissance force or a large force that he thought he had.

It's just an appetizer for a real war......

"His Grandma's ......"

Cheng Shen licked his mouth unconsciously.

Temples, mines, castles, and deserted villages, according to their location, are undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of exploration in turn, but the difficulty increase span of this storm castle is inevitably too outrageous......

"It's not all ...... either"

Cheng Shen's eyes flashed with thought.

Exploration difficulty alone.

In fact, these three points of influence should be said to have their own merits.

The difficulty of exploring the ruins of the temple lies mainly in the person of the transcendent.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to master the formation to restrain his ability, once he was allowed to escape and get a chance to recover his strength, the trouble he would face would not be small.

Not to mention the difficulty of exploring the mines.

If he didn't have some means, he wouldn't be able to enter at all, let alone face those terrifying polluting monsters and all kinds of forbidden methods in the temple of sacrifice.

comparatively.

Storm Castle has accumulated a lot of foundation over the years.

But in the real sense, he is the most normal opponent who is in the same rank as him......

The unexpected situation delayed Cheng Shen for some time.

But his plans remain the same.

Now.

It's almost certain that Storm Castle is ready for a general attack.

It's just that Cheng Shen doesn't know how long it will continue to be arranged safely, according to the location of the first crystal tower he found, Cheng Shen estimates that it may have to build a third circle of crystal towers.

It's as steady as an old dog.

But he didn't want to wait that long.

Seeing the layout of Storm Castle, he realized that his so-called development was simply a grasshopper shaking a tree. The musket team he had worked so hard to train was not as good as a crystal tower that took ten minutes to build on the other side.

It's ridiculous.

Ending the battle with a thunderbolt is his only chance of winning!

Sou!

The leaves swept across his ears, and Cheng Shen arched his body and quickly shuttled between the dense canopy.

Along the way, he also saw many monsters on their way.

But none of them did.

Until a castle surrounded by thunder and lightning appeared before him.

Bang!

Click!

……

A cloudier than the sky hung over the gloomy castle, and within the clouds, thunder swelled, rolling thunder, and thick lightning slammed down on the earth, scorching the area around the castle.

There are no walls around this castle.

But that natural minefield is the best protective barrier.

Cheng Shen stopped at the edge of the minefield, the trunks beside him were charred black, a strong smell of charcoal emanated, the surface of the bark exuded high temperature, and weak arcs flashed from time to time in the cracks.

Cheng Shen could feel a tingling sensation coming from his exposed skin.

If he doesn't have super negative resistance as a lord-level creature.

Fear.

At this moment, it has become a mine-guiding pile.

"Thunder and lightning are abundant......

Cheng Shen stretched out his hand, and lightning intertwined in his palm, which were two extremes compared to the mine.

All other elemental energies are basically expelled by the lightning element.

But.

That's also good news.

Thunder and lightning are special elements produced after the fusion of fire and light elements, which still retain some of the characteristics of light elements, and have a strong restraint effect on dark and abyss elements.

Since the thunder and lightning elements in this place are so abundant, at least Cheng Shen does not have to worry, there is a pollution threat of these two elements hidden in the Storm Castle.

"There are not only violent elemental fluctuations in the minefield, but also a scattered spiritual energy......

It is not only a protective barrier, but also an impermeable reconnaissance net. ”

Cheng Shen thoughtfully.

He retreated into the forest, searched for a moment, and suddenly leapt to his feet and grabbed a gray-scaled snake disguised among the leaves.

Cheng Shen directly pinched the seven inches of the poisonous snake and threw it into the dense minefield.

Click!

The moment it entered the minefield, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

Immediately, it was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Cheng Shen hid in the canopy of the tree, waited patiently, and in less than half a minute, he saw a group of soldiers wearing silver light armor and fully shielded helmets walking out of the main gate of the castle, all the way to the location where the poisonous snake died.

One of the soldiers picked up the charred body of the viper, and the other seven quickly dispersed into the surrounding forest, inspecting it inch by inch.

"I'm really vigilant......

Cheng Shen said secretly.

However, he had already considered in advance that with the cautious character of the castle owner, he would not ignore this anomaly. This minefield is a forbidden area, and the creatures around it will never appear in the minefield for no reason.

Especially at such a sensitive time......

Cheng Shen had no doubt that even the eight soldiers in front of him were even bait, and the huge spiritual energy owner who was controlling the minefield had already concentrated on locking on here.

After a moment's thought, he cautiously stepped back.

Bang!

Not long after he left, a dense thunderbolt suddenly landed in the forest of that area.

Watch as it spreads through the woods, and then, for some unknown reason, quickly disappears into a charred black woodland.

The corners of Cheng Shen's mouth twitched slightly.

He has always been accustomed to calling himself cautious, and this time, it seems that he has met an opponent.

"Since the division is out of the same school, it depends on who is better."

He thought with interest.

Immediately.

A complete set of silver-white heavy armor was taken out of his backpack by Cheng Shen.

Immediately after, he took out another metal skeleton that had lost its energy core.

This is the complete remains of a Storm Trooper.

Storm Troopers.

It is a more high-end alchemy creature than the petrified ancestors, but its forging skills are more inclined to mechanical golemology rather than alchemical puppetry, which is also different from the biological puppetry involved in flesh demon golems.

Cheng Shen has not been able to reproduce the Storm Warrior's energy core.

But.

He had another way to get it moving.

Sting!

He cut through the artery directly, and blood gushed out, but it landed on the metal skeleton in a regular manner, and then he thrust energy crystals into its joints with precise and fast movements, carving rune veins.

Construct a golem!

A rune structure more complex than the four-ring rune took shape instantly.
