979. Hurry, hurry! What should I do if my wife becomes a rubber girl?
Murphy senses the hidden danger in Port Chardo, and immediately contacts the amnesiac sentinel Mosna to prepare, while summoning the old flywheel back to Port Chardo.
While he was preparing for these actions, the players' side had already begun to act.
Although the locals believe that the sewer area is very dangerous, for players, "danger" is synonymous with "profit", and the disappearance of the Parlian sisters for several days is unsettling, so after consulting Lao Qin, a team of player elites entered the underground along the sewer entrance identified by the gangsters in the outer city.
This elite team is composed of godkillers, all equipped with exoskeletons and perfect class matching, with enough hunters for healing and exploration, and the "Bitter Lord" Ash Killer is also among them, and he wants to use his knowledge of architectural space construction to help players better advance in the intricate underground space.
Of course, there is another reason, the wife is missing underground, and if the players don't let him go, it will be a little unkind.
As it turned out, the locals' fear of the hidden Church of the Machines in the sewers was not unfounded, and after ten minutes of descending the sewers, the group of players was in danger.
A swarm of self-detonating machines made in the shape of spiders blocked their path.
Maybe it was the lack of recognition signals or the other party had already noticed that outsiders had entered their territory, in short, when the orchid flower who served as the main T stepped into the sewer intersection in front of him, four explosive spiders pounced on him.
The players reacted very quickly, Xiao Wei Ming Lightning pulled out his gun and exploded two of them, the third was hit by Yuan's bullet, and the last one was knocked to the ground by the orchid with an ice blade, and when it landed, it was frozen into an ice lump.
In the midst of the violent explosions, the plan to move forward in stealth had been completely lost, and unless the Church of the Machines was a group of deaf people with disabilities, the movement could not be concealed in any way.
To make matters worse, the appearance of this group of explosive spiders was just the beginning.
The cacophony of mechanical collisions and beast-like roars soon sounded in the sewers in all directions, as if a herd had been alarmed, and the players were immediately arrayed under the command of Qing Dynasty veterans, and a dozen mechanical beasts made of engineering appeared in the darkness as they watched on their frozen spots.
These things have bionic outer armor, psionic beams of energy from their eyes, steel and iron bones that are not afraid of melee combat, tails that have been made into the posture of claw guns, and mechanical claws that grapple on the ground still shimmer with a light similar to enchantment, well-made and full of the deterrent power that mechanical beasts should have.
What big boy can resist the allure of such a cool thing?
When these things appeared, the eyes of the catfish sharks in the team immediately lit up, if such a cool thing could also be domesticated into a war beast
Depend on!
The Beastmaster profession has been epicly strengthened!
"There are self-detonating spiders on it too, be careful!"
The Qing Dynasty veteran shouted, telling the hunters to look overhead.
In the dark corners of the sewers, self-destructing spiders crawling silently along the walls have gathered above, and almost at the same time as the automatons attack, fist-sized self-destructing objects have also jumped from the sky and smashed around the player's position.
Exploded on the ground, the flying fragments carried a deadly threat, but fortunately the team was elite enough, and no one died under the blast, and the hapless shields were blown up with black ashes, but soon the health bar was full under the healing techniques of the priests and druids.
With a roar from the Shark, the Varm Decapitator was smashed out, ripping a rift in the mechanical bear's armor, and a frantic encounter began.
The members of the Church of the Mechanics must have been keeping an eye on the players somewhere, and they may have sent these automatons just to keep the players out of the way, after all, anyone with a little brain knows that fighting something that explodes in a narrow area like a sewer is not a good option, but they have missed the player's combat style.
Hey, isn't it just a terrain limit?
Isn't this space constraint part of the dungeon experience in itself?
As for the explosion
Hey, what a cheesy mechanic!
If you can't do a 720-degree somersault before you're killed, we'll only be able to give you a zero for how you behave.
"Boom"
On the battlefield where weapons are riddled with bullets, the first mechanical wolf is slashed off by Meow's giant axe three minutes after appearing.
The thing activated the self-detonation at the moment of "splitting up", but unfortunately, in the face of the rogue trick of the Red Knight of Avalon to sacrifice plant minions to shield itself, the self-detonation did not hurt Meow in the slightest.
But the thing's self-detonation was a symbol of a reversal of the battle, and over the next few minutes, the cool automatons were killed one by one, until the last of the largest, most heavily armored, and most powerful mech bears was slashed by the Giant Shark with thirteen axes and dug out the core of the wet piece hidden in its chest with his bare hands, thus announcing the end of the elite encounter.
A large wave of mechanical beasts in the Church of the Mechanics were wiped out, and there were no casualties on the player's side.
Thinking about it, these teams of forty people are all silver ranks, and if they can still be destroyed by the elite monster group if they form a group to brush the mission, then they can only wish Lord Murphy good luck in the increasingly crazy war in the future.
"Hey, it just looks bluffing, and it's not as strong as the Gnoll Overseers!"
The giant shark spat to the side, tossed the core of the wet piece in his hand that was stained with some kind of black engine oil and shaped like a fish tank up and down, turned his head and said to the brothers behind him:
"Who knows what this thing is?"
"Well, for the sake of your mental health, I still think it's best not to know."
Ah Ru, a plot party who often surfs on forums and likes to read texts, said to the giant shark with a disgusted face:
"Then put that thing in your hand aside, play with the brains of dead people, isn't it disgusting!"
"?"
The giant shark was excited, and immediately threw out the wet piece that had stopped working in his hand.
The thing rolled on the ground and the sound of water could be heard from it, and it rolled out and was shot by Reed, and a strange green liquid leaked out of it, along with a white thing like a pig's brain.
βyue~β
The giant shark immediately turned his head and retched, and Mrs. Shui quickly covered Xiao Weiming's eyes and disliked this little potato for being troublesome.
Why did you have to fire that shot?
Before knowing the truth, "wet piece" was just a quest term for players that didn't require too much attention, but after seeing it for themselves, players finally knew what it meant, and some of the more innocent players immediately began to whisper about their Transnian dragoons, the kind of automata that are said to be used as the core of self-discipline.
Scald!
Looking at it this way, the smell of "degenerate technology" came up after scratching it.
"These bastards are actually using this thing to drive automatons, and it doesn't look like a good thing! Brothers, follow me and rush into the lair of this degenerate organization! β
After recovering his strength, the giant shark pulled out the axe that was slashing at the mechanical beast's armor and roared, and rushed in the direction from which the mechanical beast had come with a group of warriors.
Although he is a believer in Boss Vam and is indeed very violent and violent, he is not a sadistic berserker, and the players of the Giant Shark and the Vam Brotherhood enjoy the most orthodox combat pleasures, and things like making wet pieces with people are clearly beyond their acceptability.
Therefore, the giant shark was furious, and some young players with a sense of justice were also indignant.
Especially for the Riptide Knights, the most orthodox role-playing has always had to have a position, not to mention that the Holy Light is in the formative stage at this time, and their behavior of playing the party will naturally have a very subtle impact on the birth of the god of faith.
Players are racing down the sewers, and the people of the Church of the Mechanics seem to be in a hurry.
As they approached the borders of the Mecha Kingdom, more and more bizarre mechanical creations were released to stop the enemy, and even exaggerated gadgets such as mechanical octopuses hidden in the sewage, but they still failed to stop the player's advance.
The mechanical octopus, which can already be used as a five-person mini-boss, was blasted into a pile of scrap metal by more than 30 Burning Gold Iron Fist missiles.
This thing has been defeated, not to mention the other more clichΓ© mechanical beasts, which were enough to scare off the "explorers" on the ground in the past are a piece of cake in front of the foreign heroic spirits who have seen too many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
After all, people really killed a god, and there are few things in this land that can scare them.
"Ahead! The terrain in front has been modified, and there is an enclosed space hidden there! Absolutely no problem, such terrain could not appear in such a plan as a sewer. β
After breaking through several lines of defense in a row, the red-eyed grayman pointed to the "guillotine road" ahead and said to the brothers:
"They've disguised themselves, but they're able to break through the wall and move on, and judging by the way forward, this should be the gathering place for those members of the Mechanical Church, but it's probably not the base camp. Be careful when you do it, my two wives may still be inside! β
"Okay, brother, look at us."
The dwarf Locke Brute Hammer in the team slapped the thigh of the gray man, and the main profession is a dwarven battle axe but he is a part-time shaman, he pinched out a magic seal, called the name of the mother earth goddess, and jumped into the ground with warriors including the giant shark, Niu Niu and cat brother, and rushed to the secret room in front of him.
Players jokingly refer to the Earth Movement as the "Earth Walking Sun Strategy", and the dwarves are also called by that name in their case.
Fortunately, the dwarves with strong self-esteem in this world don't know what Tuxingsun represents, otherwise they would have to cause a diplomatic accident.
But the trick was a little weird, but it was really useful, with screams and weapons clashing from the other side of the wall, as well as a violent explosion, and after a few minutes, the noise stopped and the sound of some kind of mechanical gear slid upwards.
In the midst of the chaos, Niu Niu beckoned to the gray man and said:
"People are inside, they are not injured or bullied, hurry up and take a look, the two of them are in a strange situation."
"What?"
The gray man was first delighted, then shocked, and immediately picked up the guy and rushed in.
In a super-complex underground mechanical factory, there are halflings and humans who have been defeated and some humans who have made mechanical prosthetics, as well as some unfinished mechanical beasts and various guns placed on weapon racks.
Under the light of the gas lamp overhead, players can see the whole picture of this underground laboratory, and I have to say that with the background of the sewers outside, it makes this place quite a "mad scientist's laboratory" look.
Lady Water and Orchid glanced at each other, and immediately rushed to a separate compartment in the deepest part of the laboratory.
They saw that the gray man was wiping his tears with two gray-faced girls, and the three of them were crying miserably and a little glad that they had finally seen it, and fortunately, the story did not slip to the worst.
Soon, however, Mrs. Water realizes that something is wrong.
At the edge of the Parlian sisters' "cage" is a mechanical table with a very detailed model of a mechanical squirrel.
Mrs. Water had seen something similar from Little Sharon, and she knew that it was an assessment that halfling engineers often used to test the learning results of their apprentices, and that being able to design and assemble something like a mechanical squirrel by herself meant that a halfling mechanic apprentice could become a teacher.
But there was no one else here except the Parlian sisters, which meant that the two of them had done most of the mechanical squirrels by themselves.
However, in the impression of old players like Lady Water and Orchid, the two girls Delia and Mia have never been associated with engineering, and there is no soil for engineering in Transncia, except for little Sharon, the daughter of an earl with halfling blood.
"Hit the gray man, get out of the way!"
The Water Lady clenched her bow and scolded:
"Let me check your wives' mental state!"
"They're all right."
The Grey Man immediately became worried, but Orchid unceremoniously stepped forward and forcibly pulled him away, and Lady Water cast a magic spell on herself before she stepped forward to look at the two NPCs who were a little afraid, she took off her battle helmet to reveal her beautiful face, and said:
"Do you remember me? Delia and Mia, you're official members of the Silvermoon Regiment. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you a few questions. Have these Mechanics done anything excessive to you since you were brought here?
Like forcing you to believe in something weird? β
"No, Mrs. Water."
The two girls obviously remembered Mrs. Water, and they explained very seriously:
"The friends of the Church of the Mechanics saved us from the gangsters in the outer city to help us, they said that the gnolls had started to attack the city, so they put us here temporarily, and gave us some books to pass the time, they are not bad people."
"But that doesn't mean they're good people."
Mrs. Water pointed to the mechanical squirrel on the table and said:
"As far as I know, it would take months for even the best halfling apprentices to learn and practice before they can make that complex machine on their own, how did you two do it in just a few days?"
"Yes, it was the 'Resuscitation' that taught us!"
The two sisters looked at each other, and the elder sister Delia explained:
"The leader of the Church of Machines, a great, wise, benevolent being who is willing to share knowledge, who has been responsible for spreading knowledge since the death of the first leader of the Church of Machines.
It is the one who taught the Mechanical Sages to craft complex but powerful objects, and it is the one who has been leading the Mechanical Sages in digging out of the ground."
"Bang"
Before Delia finished speaking, Mrs. Shui, who had been staring at her, pinched her neck and applied magic to fall into a deep sleep, Mia was startled and was knocked unconscious in the next second.
Mrs. Shui stood up, and said with a serious expression to the grayman who had already seen the clue and clenched his fists:
"Your girlfriends have a remnant of suggestion in their minds, their spirits have been channeled, but it shouldn't be psionic effects, it's probably some other force, and they've been instilled with something in their minds.
I don't know if it's harmful, but I guess it has something to do with this 'recovery'.
Bring them in first.
I then performed a requiem ritual on them, and it only took a few requiems to get them back to normal, but my advice was not to let them stay in Port Chardo.
The muddy waters in this place seem to be a little deep now. β
