Chapter 16: Eighteen Stone Men Stonehenge
"These ugly monsters are angry, run!" Rogge couldn't help but scream when he saw the chain ball volleying down in the sky, and the four of them hurriedly walked wildly, and the chain ball behind them sprinkled a rain of iron balls on the ground, smashing everything that could be smashed.
The angry goblins on the hillside saw that the four escaped from the attack range, and refused to rest easily, jumped down the hill and picked up the chain ball on the ground to continue the pursuit, and the whistling iron ball continued to smash the ground behind the four people.
Catherine slipped and fell to the ground, and she struggled to get up from the ground, when she suddenly heard a rushing wind behind her, and saw a chain ball hit her head-on.
The frightened girl closed her eyes and put her head in her hands and screamed in horror, only to see a figure appear beside her like lightning, drag her backwards, and kick away the smashed chain ball.
Rogge, who kicked away the hammer ball, pulled out the silver handcuff from Catherine's waist, raised his gun and burst the brains of the goblin who threw the hammer ball from the top of the slope, and the body fell backwards.
"Keep walking, don't stop!" Rogge said through gritted teeth, pulling a shivering Catherine back as he turned around and shot a goblin who was about to throw a chain ball.
"When you're in a desperate situation, offense is the best defense, never sit still!"
As he spoke, Rog fired eight shots with the silver handcuff in his hand, and the eight goblins fell to the ground one after another, and he returned the silver handcuff to Catherine, turned and passed through the three of them and continued to move forward.
Murphy and Tali helped Catherine forward in pursuit, but the goblins behind them were hesitant by the attack, and by the time they mustered up the courage to come again, the four of them had fled without a trace.
Seeing that the goblins did not chase, the four of them who were out of breath gradually slowed down, Rogge still walked in front, his eyes searched the cliffs on both sides, at this time they were in a valley, the road under their feet was still extending to the valley, the cliffs on both sides were not steep, but they were not easy to climb.
"I'm afraid we've lost it. Rogge said to Murphy, who came after him, "There is a fork in the road we walked on, and Alice must have walked away from that side, otherwise she would have left footprints." ”
The adventurer glanced down at the road ahead, there were indeed no traces of footprints, he frowned, turned back to Rogge, "What are you going to do?"
"That's not a good idea, maybe we'll-on from the goblins, and I don't want to have my head smashed in the head by a sudden flying ball!" Rogge said, shaking his head.
He pointed to the road ahead and said to Murphy, "The road is not straight, the direction has been detouring to the west, and the road Alice is taking seems to be extending to the west, maybe we will meet her just right." ”
The adventurer agrees with his plan and tells Tali and Catherine about his decision, neither girl wants to go back to face the goblin's iron orb, so they agree with Rog's decision, and the four of them speed up their way down the winding road in the valley, hoping to meet Alice around the corner.
After turning a big bend, an open field suddenly appeared in front of him, and in the center of the clearing were a dozen or five meter-high boulders distributed in a circle, and on the inside of each boulder stood a humanoid statue with different postures, like a soldier in armor.
"What is this?" Murphy glanced at the boulders and statues in the clearing, and said, "It looks like a relic from an ancient country." ”
"Could it be the relics of the Kingdom of Artis?" Rogge turned back to Tali, and the Mermaid Guardian suddenly bowed his head and said, "You're right, it's very likely that Ice Island was once the territory of the Kingdom of Artis, and it is very likely that this was left by the Ancient Kingdom!"
"The kingdom of Artis, I've heard that it suddenly disappeared two centuries ago, and if it's really a relic of it, I'd better study it!"
Hearing the words of the two, the adventurer became excited, and he walked quickly towards the boulder, and Rogge and the others followed closely, seeing him stop in front of a boulder and reach for some unknown symbol carved on the surface of the boulder.
The moment Murphy's hand touched the symbol, the earth suddenly shook violently, and everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly retreated, only to see the boulders retreat into the ground with a deafening roar, and when they reappeared, a five-meter-high solid rock wall had been built around the four of them.
"Looks like one of us has stepped on the trap!" Rogge said with a shocked frown at the stunned Murphy beside him.
Suddenly, his ears keenly caught the "click" of a rock shattering, and his eyes couldn't help but lock on to the surrounding stone statues, only to see that all the statues were moving.
These soldiers, whose bodies were made of rocks, gathered in the center of the clearing with heavy steps, and turned their angular faces towards the four of them, the eye sockets of the fully covered helmets flashed with a cold black light, and the clenched iron fists made the four of them feel uncomfortable.
"I think I've seen these things before......" Murphy said to his companions as he slowly moved his hand to the scimitar at his waist, "These are rock golems, they are magically infused stone warriors with pure stone bodies, usually used to defend the area." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, they won't go home until they kill us all. Rogge smiled unhurriedly.
He lit a cigar and bit it in his mouth, reached out and took the silver sword from his back, his eyes swept over the stone statues in front of him, and said, "There are eighteen in total, there are five of us, and four for one person is not enough!"
"Five people?" Murphy couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and before he could figure out who the fifth person in Rogge's mouth was, Rogge had already flown towards the rock golem.
The stone men saw Rogge rush closer, and the hands made of rock turned into rock swords and shields in the brown light, and the marble swords collided heavily against Rog's blade.
Rogge only felt a strong tremor in the tiger's mouth, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, pushing away the stone man's blade, and shattering its head with a sword in his hand.
The other seven stonemen pounced on Rogge from the left and right, and the rest of the stonemen jumped past Rogge and pounced on Murphy, Tali, and Catherine.
The adventurer was agile enough to avoid the stone man's slash, the scimitar came out of its sheath with a cold light, and the blade slashed through a shining arc in the air, slashing at the stone man's body, and the cracked earth and stones were suddenly scattered from the stone man's body.
However, this casual knife failed to inflict a heavy blow on the stone man, the stone man withdrew his right hand sword, and the stone shield in his left hand smashed down fiercely towards Murphy, and the adventurer jumped backwards, and another stone man on his side swooped down and rushed forward, the stone shield in his left hand protected his body, and the tip of the stone sword in his right hand stabbed towards Murphy.
The adventurer had not yet stabilized his body at this time, and could not change his posture to avoid the stone man's attack, so he had to use the scimitar in his hand to forcibly resist, but the stone man seemed to be on guard, and the blade moved down to avoid the blade of the scimitar, and stabbed Murphy in the abdomen against the back of the scimitar.
It was too late, it was fast, a gunshot rang out, and a snow-bright silver bullet hit the stone man's neck impartially, and the strong explosive power of the silver bullet destroyed the stone man's neck, causing the stone man's head to "click" out of his body, and fell to the ground at the same time as his crooked body.
Murphy, who was shocked into a cold sweat, looked back at Catherine holding the silver handcuff gratefully, although the girl's hand was trembling violently, but her face showed an unusual firmness, and what Rogge said when he just rescued her touched her, making her grit her teeth and pull the trigger again.
With the second gunshot, another stoneman soldier was also shattered in the neck and collapsed to the ground, and Catherine was about to raise her gun to shoot again, when the surrounding stonemen suddenly stopped attacking and disappeared in a burst of brown light.
The four people in Stonehenge looked around in surprise, and before they could figure out what was happening, the unknown charms carved on the surface of the surrounding boulder walls suddenly lit up together, and eighteen dazzling beams of light shot at the four people intensively.
