Chapter 354: Molten Iron Heart: Mist Realm
Another reason why Gong Piqing immediately thought of the mission he had with Hades when he saw the scene in front of him was that the sky in front of them was similar to that of him during that mission; When he and Hades first arrived in the Land of Machines, it was the same evening sky as it was approaching dark, but now, the sky above them was already night, but the white steam in the air was illuminated by the fire on the ground, and the whole world seemed to be relatively bright.
None of them thought that they would be able to see this real "mechanical maze" scene in their lifetime and actually come inside; They cautiously walked out of the corridor at their feet, only to find that at the end of the corridor was a rooftop terrace, as if they had just walked up from the stairwell of a building; Something was faintly flying in the white steam that filled the sky, but it was not surprising that there were some flying mechanical creations in the air in such an otherworldly mechanical city.
The unprecedented sensory impact almost made the team members forget the unhappiness in their hearts, although they also knew in their hearts that this was an illusion, but they had already experienced the first two illusions, rather than scolding so irritable like the second time, it was better to accept their fate honestly, and then calmly find a way to get out.
Gong Piqing was the first to come back to his senses and looked at the corridor behind them, the white flames had already burned half of the corridor, except for the carpet on the ground, the white flames even ignited part of the walls, and it seemed that it was useless for them to go back the same way.
"It's a fantasy again...... We're tossing again in vain......" said one of the team members helplessly.
Some of the team looked back at the corridor behind them, and some of them still looked at the mechanical city under the cover of night, at this time this city was like a sleepless giant, every part of its body was working, and the sounds they heard behind the door before were just the operation of these mechanical parts, not at all like they imagined that there was a war behind the door or a theater inside, and the so-called screams and fighting sounds were just made up by their own brains under the nervous mood.
"yes...... We...... It seems to have come to a new level.,Hurry up and find a way to get through.,The dangers in the previous illusion are slowly boiling out.,This time, let's try to take advantage of the trouble yet.,Come up with a feasible way to get out of here.。 One of the team members said, walking to the edge of the building and looking downstairs.
This is a small three-story building that is not high, if the illusion is a magical space, then the entrance to this space should be the corridor they just walked over, which is now covered with white flames, otherwise there is no way to explain how they suddenly appeared from a luxurious royal palace in such a mechanical city that looks like an era of industrial heavy industry, if this is not an illusion, then this three-story small building under their feet is not the palace of the Extremely Cold Country?
It's obviously unreasonable, and it's unreasonable no matter how you think about it, it's definitely just another illusion.
"This road can't be returned, we can't put out this fire, why don't we go downstairs first and see if there is a way to return to the palace from this building?" The team member standing on the edge of the roof suggested, and then pointed to the iron fire ladder beside him - they didn't know why there was such a fire ladder in such a mechanical city, but this was all too familiar to Gong Piqing.
He felt that the setter of this illusion must have been to the country of machines, and maybe even this illusion was somewhere in the country of machines, because almost every building he saw in the small city of the country of machines would have one or two such fire ladders, maybe the setters of the illusion just thought that they had never been to the country of machines, so they set a certain scene in the country of machines as an illusion, even if Gong Piqing, who had really been to the country of extreme cold, had no experience at all. So this illusion is the hardest for them!
"Okay, then do what he said, quickly take everyone down to find the way back, this place is not normal!" The queen said from Gong Piqing's mind for the first time.
But Gong Piqing didn't quite understand what the queen meant, in fact, in his opinion, this illusion this time was an illusion that seemed "peaceful" and "down-to-earth", and even he had the illusion that "if you continue to stay here, you may meet Hades or Gaia".
It is unlikely that he will meet Hades, after all, he and Hades are only on that mission in the country of machines, and the current Hades must still be on a mission in the country of the crows, and maybe he is already commanding the "Winged Dragon" air combat platform to fight with the Raven Count; Gaia's words are also unlikely, after all, he is just a fantasy world here and not a real country of machines, he just thinks that this place is really like a country of machines, if they are really sent to the country of machines, it would be really good, at least then it is possible to really find Gaia, their two super soldiers plus the heavy firepower team on Gaia's side, it can be said that they are a strong alliance to deal with the country of machines, wouldn't it be very easy?
Finally, the queen couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted from his head: "What I said is not normal is that there may be danger around you at any time!" Under normal circumstances, where else is it so late and still working? Don't you notice that the small city around you seems to be in a state of readiness?! Since this is a fantasy land specially prepared for you, everything here is a potential threat to you, tell everyone, when you go down, pay more attention to concealment, and try not to be discovered. ”
Although Gong Piqing then conveyed the queen's words to the team members, he himself was actually very unimpressed, because they had just come to this place, what danger could there be? When the previous two illusions first entered, they both walked a long way or waited for a long time before realizing that something was wrong, he was not completely unfamiliar with the country of machines, maybe he would go downstairs and find a random door to enter and then return to the palace......
Thinking about it, he had already led his team to the fire ladder, he felt that the illusion he was in was simply a copy of the country of machines, and even the terrain was similar to when he was in the country of machines before, it was some small buildings with three or four floors and some fire ladders, although this "similarity" made him feel a little familiar, but when he thought of the strange man he met with the Hades in the country of machines who chased and killed them all the way, he couldn't help but shudder, That weirdo couldn't be solved by teaming up with Hades at the beginning, and if they met again today, wouldn't it be completely finished?
Beside him, the team listened to his orders, and as soon as they got down the fire ladder, they hid in a shadow under the outer wall, and although there seemed to be no one in the small alley where they were, if they walked the street too recklessly, they might be discovered by the flying things in the sky at any time.
Gong Piqing didn't know what it was in the sky, anyway, he had never seen anything like this when he was in the Land of Machines; He followed the example of the team members and slowly moved along the shadow position with his back against the outer wall of the building behind him, the queen must also need to make a temporary strategy, let him look around to see if there is any entrance that can allow them to enter this building, it seems that the queen is also thinking about how to get through this building and then return to the palace.
But almost every window in this building has a sturdy-looking safety net, although this safety net does not play any role in protecting them under their force, but they cannot be exposed now, and although the surrounding roads and alleys seem empty, this does not mean that they are completely safe.
They walked along this alley until the end could not find a way into the building, after turning the alley, they could reach the other outer wall of the small building, they poked their heads out like a group of thieves to observe for a while, and saw that there was still no one in the small alley on the other side, and only then did they dare to slip out lightly, but on this side, they soon made a gratifying discovery.
For soon after they turned around, they saw a large hole in the protective net of one of the windows, as if someone had broken it from the outside, although the hole did not look very large, and there were many sharp barbs in the fault of the protective net, but it was probably the only way for them to enter the building.
Gong Piqing opened the window behind the protective net through the tattered protective net, this building should not be for residential use, because when they came down from the fire ladder just now, they passed by the windows on each floor, but they didn't see a little light from inside, so it can basically be inferred that either there is no one in this building at all, or all the people inside are sleeping.
Gong Piqing quietly pushed the old-fashioned window open, and tried to climb in by the window sill, his size was already considered "terrible" in the entire team, if he could get in, then the other team members would definitely have no problem at all.
With Gong Piqing taking the lead in opening the way, the other team members soon got into this building through the hole in the protective net, the truth is exactly the same as they imagined, this illusion is not so simple at all, according to the simplest spatial structure analysis, the palace is completely overlapping with this building, they can come to this building from the staircase of the palace, so if they find the stairwell of this building and go up, what will happen......
