Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 279: Their own situations

Views:

In a room exactly like the one Luo Ling was in, Ji Yijun was knocking on a giant spider-like golem. "You mean, this thing is controlled by a person and won't move on its own?"

"Of course, this is an operational golem. It is the most powerful force of the Black Dragon Empire's golem masters." Adan stroked the spider's control bracelet with a hint of desire in his eyes, but soon, this desire dimmed, "But without the mental power of a low-level wizard, it is impossible to control these powerful weapons."

On the other side, Yasen looked at these golems in confusion. "I have never built or seen such golems. This is not the craftsmanship of the dwarves. These materials are completely different from what we have used. They are obviously lighter and harder. The surface of these metal armor plates is so smooth and flat. The transmission mechanism is so ingeniously designed. And these magic runes are much more advanced than those we use on golems. How can someone build such exquisite things?"

"These are not dwarven crafts. Golems come from ancient traditions, and the Black Dragon Empire is the heir to this great tradition. The dwarves are just imitating the creations of their predecessors."

"What inheritance? Who invented the evil technology of putting the dwarf soul into a metal body?" asked Yassen.

Adam did not ask or answer this question.

But Ji Yijun interrupted and said, "It must be the Black Dragon Empire. Since powerful weapons from ancient times must be controlled by humans, the thing that only uses dwarf souls must have been made by the golem masters of the Black Dragon Empire later."

"Mr. Adan, is that true?"

"I don't know." Adam said impatiently, "Well, there's no point looking at these things. The three of us here are not magicians, so it's impossible for us to use these golems well. Let's find a way out quickly."

"I don't believe it. It's just a remote-controlled toy. I'm the best at this kind of thing."

Adam smiled coldly, "You can try if you want."

Ji Yijun didn't hesitate to pick up the control bracelet, put it on his hand and started to think about it.

Adam was still looking for an exit when he heard the sound of metal hitting the ground behind him. The sound came very quickly and was approaching behind him in an instant. Adam looked back and saw that the spider had appeared in front of him with its fangs bared and its forelimbs turned into sharp blades and swung above his head.

"It's not that difficult." Under Ji Yijun's control, the spider moved quickly back and forth, left and right. At first, its legs were fighting with each other, but soon its movements became smooth and natural, just like a real spider hunting.

"How is that possible? Aren't you a warrior?"

"Who says a warrior can't control a golem?"

Adan quickly picked up the control ring of a nearby golem and put it on his hand to test it. Sure enough, a moment later, the giant bear golem began to move smoothly according to his command, but the giant bear had only moved for a few minutes, and before he had time to be happy, he began to have a severe headache.

A similar situation occurred on the other side when Yasen put on a bracelet.

However, something strange suddenly happened in the room. A light flashed in the open space in the center of the room, and a cheetah golem suddenly appeared there.

The golem was in an activated state, and it pounced on Ji Yijun's spider as soon as it appeared. Ji Yijun was caught off guard by this sudden attack, but with rich experience in control and gaming, he quickly commanded the spider and cheetah to fight.

"I understand! This must be the test we have to face! We must work together to kill this golem that suddenly appeared." Adam endured the headache and controlled the giant bear to approach the battlefield between the cheetah and the spider.

As a high-level warrior, he had a very accurate grasp of the battle situation and judgment of timing, but the waves of pain that swept over him obviously interfered with his performance, often causing the giant bear's movements to go out of shape or be interrupted. This made him a spoiler in Ji Yijun's battle.

"Hey, you stupid teammate over there. Can you please be quiet? Can you just stay aside like Uncle Yasin? You've blocked my way out."

A Dan found that he had really disrupted Ji Yijun's attacks and dodges several times. Even though he was furious, he had to let the giant bear retreat.

Ji Yijun's fight became smoother and smoother without any interference. His face was full of excitement, as if he was playing a VR game. The spider nimbly avoided the cheetah's attack by moving sideways, and continuously shot out spider silk to slow down the cheetah's movements. Gradually, the cheetah was forced into a dilemma.

"I'm telling you, this guy is at most a small boss. It's only a matter of time before I defeat him alone."

There was also a battle going on in another room. Chen Hansheng, Kalanda and the dwarf Boto were sweating as they controlled three golems to fight a three-headed hellhound golem. However, none of the three were good at this job. The three golems stumbled and fought with the three-headed dog, but the various attacks hit each other more often than the hellhound.

Kalanda's Pegasus Golem flew crookedly over the sky above the hellhound, but was hit in the abdomen by the ice and fire bombs spit out by the latter's two heads and fell down. The hellhound pounced on the Pegasus and bit its neck and wings, immediately breaking it apart.

Kalanda was so angry that she threw down her bracelet, drew her sword and rushed forward, but something amazing happened. Her sword actually fell apart and turned into dots of light before it could hit the hellhound.

"Kalanda!" Chen Hansheng exclaimed loudly when he saw her facing the ferocious hellhound golem with empty hands.

However, the hellhound did not attack her, but continued to pounce on Chen Hansheng's golem.

"What's going on?" Kalanda said, looking at his hands.

"It seems that there is something strange in this room. Maybe we are not in reality." Chen Hansheng said. However, this distraction gave the hellhound an opportunity to take advantage of. Chen Hansheng's tiger-shaped golem was bitten on the neck by it and torn into two pieces.

The last room was occupied by Elana and two dwarves, Sinclair and Farrell. Sinclair and Farrell's golems had long since turned into wreckage, and they had already discovered that they could not attack the giant ape golem at all, so they could only cheer for Elana on the sidelines. They sang the dwarves' heritage hymn together, but this time, the trick was useless, and the giant ape was not affected by the singing at all.

“Stop singing and let me concentrate,” Elena yelled.

"Well. It's no use anyway," Sinclair said.

"At least we've proved one thing, there's no dwarf's soul locked up in that thing," Farrell said.

“That’s great news.”

"Yes, that's good news."

"Shut up!"

While Elena was negligent, her nine-tailed fox was caught by the tail by the giant ape. The giant ape threw the nine-tailed fox to the ground again and again, and the armor plates and parts were smashed everywhere.

"It's over. We definitely didn't pass the test," Elena said. As soon as she finished speaking, she and the two dwarves' bodies turned into points of light and slowly dissipated. Her last thought was: Oh, if only Luo Ling were here.
