An Shui was just about to implement his plan when he saw that the gunsmith had already walked around in front of him, stretched out his upper body, and reached out to touch the slope. While doing this, he said: "There should be a door here, right? Isn't it?" Just push it and it will click~~!!!”
The word "kai" came out half a tone, and his palm passed through the projection and was empty. He was top-heavy, and his standing posture was not upright. The gunsmith's entire weight almost relied on this one hand to support him. So, he said: "Crack...ah!!!!" and screamed and fell down.
As long as Anshui reacts quickly and reaches out to grab the gunsmith's ankle, he can completely prevent him from falling, but Anshui stood there with a look of surprise on his face and said: "Be careful! This is a projection! It will go through, below. I don’t even know how deep it is!”
Considering that John DeSoto is an ordinary person, his lightning reaction and grabbing a suddenly falling adult man with one hand is somewhat inconsistent with this person's actual ability. Moreover, the gunsmith was already a powerful user, so he couldn't fall to death anyway, so Anguo decisively chose to let him fall. In this way, Dark Water can save a lot of trouble. All he has to do is yell at the person below with a concerned tone: "Are you okay?!"
When encountering such a heartless gunsmith, he has no idea what Anshui is thinking. Of course, even if he knows Anshui's thinking process, he can't do anything about it, because Anshui only does the "right" things and doesn't care about the feelings of others. , let alone feel guilty.
"It's okay! There's a big drop down, be careful!" the gunsmith shouted upwards. His flashlight fell from his hand and broke into pieces when he fell. Fortunately, there was a light source in the ruins, which was brighter than in the passage.
"Approximately how high is it?" Anshui shouted again. In fact, could he not know the height? The gunsmith could answer whatever he wanted. He was already preparing to take out the rope from his backpack.
"About... wait!" The gunsmith suddenly changed his tone and gave a short drink.
People above could hear his voice, and the word "wait" suddenly made the atmosphere tense. It was unknown what emergency the gunsmith encountered below.
Dark Water could see through the projection, and he knew that the problem facing the gunsmith was that the defensive weapons in the room had been activated. The defense mechanism of the ruins had already been activated due to the external attack of Steel Discipline. The moment the gunsmith fell into the room, he may have triggered a gravity detection or other sensing device, causing the trap in this huge room to start operating.
"What happened?" An Shui still had to pretend to be stupid, so he asked again.
"Probably some kind of trap has been activated. Don't come down yet. Wait until I finish it." The gunsmith's tone was not very panicked when he answered, but at this moment, he could see from his sight that one of the four walls of this huge room , a burst of cyan light flowed, and then it turned into a state like a honeycomb. From each hexagonal opening, a huge mechanical wasp flew out. The spikes on the tail of the giant wasp were as thick as a screwdriver, and it felt like It can penetrate directly into the skull and crush the brain.
The gunsmith watched the densely packed giant bees swarming towards him quickly. The distance from the wall to here was only about a hundred meters. Once someone gets close to him, unless he is made of iron and steel, he will definitely end up riddled with holes.
"Hmm... If the accountant were here, I wonder if he could calmly report the specific number of bees." The gunsmith said to himself in a relaxed tone, took out the bone gun from his arms slowly, and adjusted it to even After these few actions, the fastest ones in the swarm were already less than twenty meters in front of him.
Buzz buzz... bang bang bang...
The people who were still at the end of the passage could only hear the continuous strange noises coming from the ruins below. Those buzzing sounds sound very much like the sound made by the laser sword in the movie when it is swung. This is the sound of the bone gun in burst mode, and those banging sounds are the mechanical wasps being shot down and exploding. sound.
The bone gun in the gunsmith's hand spit out green light continuously, without missing a beat, shooting down every mechanical bee, leaving debris all over the ground. The closest one landed less than five meters in front of the gunsmith, and the farthest one was dozens of meters away. meters away from the wall.
In less than a minute, the gunsmith had hit all the targets. It was as easy and comfortable as shooting at a playground. He turned the bone gun gracefully and pretended to blow on the smoke coming from the muzzle (actually there was no smoke). I don’t know who it was made for. Maybe if someone was really watching, he would be embarrassed to do such an old-fashioned cool move.
He took a long breath and said, "Huh... one hundred and twenty." Although he couldn't count the number of bees, he could count how many shots he had fired.
"Are you not dead yet?" The consultant's voice came from above, and his words were so unpleasant.
"Okay, the danger is over." The gunsmith replied: "This place is about 20 meters high. Use the rope to get down."
In about ten minutes, all fourteen people came down. These knights of Steel Commandment are all good combat knights or elite knights. Even if they are not capable people, they are all people with strong skills. Naturally, they can get down the rope very quickly.
Suisside jumped down directly without any pressure. Vanessa also jumped down, and she dragged the consultant with her as she jumped. This kind of scene is not seen every day. When Jack said to Rose, "If you dance, I will dance," we were watching a romance movie. But if Rose drags Jack's leg and jumps into the sea, this is probably a horror movie, and it is already close to the end when this scene occurs.
Fortunately, the consultant had no plans and was prepared in advance. He used the Thread of Truth to stabilize his body and slow down his fall. Otherwise, he would probably break his leg if he was tricked like this.
After everyone came down, they looked at the debris on the ground and didn't know what these things were. Anshui then pretended to be stupid and asked as if that was the case: "What are these?"
The gunsmith answered frankly: "Big Bee."
Suisside looked at the number of fragments and frowned: "Did you knock down all these fragments?" He paused: "In such a short period of time?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" The gunsmith felt that this kind of problem was inexplicable. I didn't shoot it down. Could it be that I used my domineering force to knock it down
Suisside broke out in a cold sweat. He had just silently counted the frequencies of those sounds. When he came down and saw the scene, he basically guessed that the buzzing sound was the sound made by the gunsmith's weapon. At this moment, Suisside was only thinking: What happened? What did you say? Your boy fired three shots a second and destroyed so many moving metal targets. The ten knights I brought here are all flesh and blood and they can't fly. If you fall out, wouldn't you kill them all within four seconds
The consultant had an insight into Suisside's thoughts, and sighed with a gloating smile: "Hey... the team is bloated." His words seemed to imply that the gunsmith wanted to "lose weight" for the expedition team.
As soon as the words were spoken, Vanessa put a stinky face in front of the consultant, stared at him and said, "You talk a lot."
Under the coercion of the other party, the consultant had no choice but to shut his mouth obediently, made a zipper motion with his hand to his lips, smiled and winked sincerely, looking cute.
Dark Water estimated that the defensive weapons of this huge room were obtained by the gunsmith, but this was just the beginning. As he continued to explore, the situation would become more and more dangerous.
At this moment, the gunsmith suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, and the strange feeling of losing his physiological needs appeared again. Most people tend to notice this after a while, because our brains have a self-deception-like inertia. For example, a patient who has just been amputated will feel that his limb is still the same.
It is difficult for humans who enter the Darkwater Tribe Fortress to notice the disappearance of physiological needs in a short period of time. The loss of hunger and fatigue is not easy to detect, unless you are hungry or sleepy when you enter the fortress.
The gunsmith has already experienced entering a similar ruin once, so there will be a familiar sense of detachment at this moment. He can feel what it feels like to become "feelless". This is very complicated, and it sounds a bit contradictory. Only in this way can you truly experience it.
"What's the next step? Looking for fingerprints?" the gunsmith asked naturally.
Anshui replied: "I have to observe before I can decide." When he said this, he had already walked to the wall and touched the cyan-colored texture lines on the wall with his hands, looking as if he was in a daze.
"Have you explored the same ruins before?" Suisside heard the gunsmith talking to "John" about the handprints, and he quickly remembered this question. I remember that when I first explored the pit in the center of the Colosseum last time, the conversation between the two people also revealed information that they had encountered similar ruins.
There is no need to keep this matter secret. Just say that the two of them have explored similar ruins together. Just don’t let the matter of the Eternal Core and Darkwater Civilization out. The gunsmith replied: "Yes, it was not a very pleasant experience. , so... before he speaks, if you find marks on the wall that look like handprints, don't touch them."
In fact, there is no need for him to say hello. The people of Steel Discipline will not act arbitrarily. They are also a disciplined team. Besides, even a team without discipline cannot act and think at the same time in a strange environment like a gunsmith. Ordinary people Then even a few lives are not enough.
An Shui looked there for a long time, sometimes raising his head to look at the height of the wall of the huge room, and sometimes walking along the wall for a distance. Others had no idea what he was looking at. The cyan textures on the wall seemed to be integrated. The lines on the circuit are not words at all, but the explorer seems to be able to get information from these clueless textures.
"The situation is worse than expected." After about fifteen minutes, he spoke, and he told the bad news as soon as he spoke: "A special defense mechanism has been activated, and its scope is the entire ruins. We don’t feel it at the moment, but its effects will be felt over time and will be deadly.”
