When the data terminal flew into the air for reconnaissance, Hao Ren began to pay attention to the movements of those "stone statue corps", and until this time the data terminal was still flying high in the sky, and the movements of those black colossi were as perfect as chess pieces on a chessboard. Completely presented in front of his eyes. During the observation process, Hao Ren discovered one thing:
There are temples of all sizes in the ancient city, and there are stone statue corps gathering outside almost every one of them, but the big temple in the center of the ancient city is calm, and the stone statue corps assembled from the other side of the city is heading towards this place. It seems that they deliberately bypassed the Great Temple in the center of the city when they surrounded them—they would not even step on the huge stone steps leading to the Great Temple.
Is the Great Temple some kind of "forbidden place" for these stone statues
Although I don't know if these stone statue soldiers will continue to abide by this "restriction" after the invaders break into the Great Temple, at least for now, it seems that the area around the Great Temple is the only safe place in the entire ancient city.
To get there, first make your way through the growing gargoyles surrounding the Great Temple.
Hao Ren told others about his discovery, and after almost no discussion, everyone reached a consensus: go to the Great Temple!
The data terminal is hovering over the city, like a satellite, constantly sending the bird's-eye view of the front to the holographic projection in front of Hao Ren, and a "best path" that can avoid most of the Colossus soldiers is clearly marked on the projection , although it is still unavoidable to encounter small groups of enemies, but before arriving at the Great Temple, at least the embarrassment of being surrounded by guards can be avoided to the greatest extent.
The team began to move towards the direction of the Great Temple.
Vivienne flew in the air a few meters above the ground, and two groups of black bats formed two huge horizontal vortices, spinning on both sides behind her like a pair of giant wings, and the hissing electric sparks hit the bats. Shooting and jumping in the group produced a powerful electric field that made the scalp tingle. She is charging for the next wave of magnetic storms, and this powerful swarm of bats can also release lightning shocks at any time to deal with those gargoyles that appear alone.
"Two hundred meters ahead, turn left. There are twelve stone statue soldiers assembled, and there is no way to go around. Let's fuck him, partner!"
The navigation prompt of the data terminal sounded in Hao Ren's mind. The first half of the sentence was professional and precise, and the second half was full of sand. The black stone statue that stood up.
The old granite buildings on both sides of the street collapsed, and one after another huge black stone statues walked onto the street on the broken stone slabs and pillars like Titans climbing up Mount Olympus. , there were two dazzling arcs descending from the sky, simultaneously bombarding the chest of the first colossus.
The black shell on the stone guard's chest shattered into countless pieces, and the huge body of the colossus shook violently backwards—but it stood up straight again in the next second.
There was a terrifying crack in the chest of the stone statue, but the protective shell at the core was not completely penetrated.
It seems that simple lightning can't have a good effect on these stone statues, and their shells have excellent insulation capabilities.
The stone statue raised its head, and a pair of blood-red lights lit up on the crocodile-like head. It seemed to let out a silent roar, then raised the iron staff in its hand and pointed at Vivienne who was flying in mid-air. energy ball.
But before the energy ball was launched, a blue beam of light suddenly hit the body of the stone guard. The beam itself was only as thick as a thumb, but after it touched the target, it exploded violently. It exploded and turned into a cloud of blue crystalline dust.
Hao Ren raised his pistol to aim at the torso of another stone statue, and at the same time pressed the combination safety button of the magnetic vibration bomb in the other hand, and shouted loudly while throwing the grenade: "Be careful! There is a stone statue that can use magic!" the guy!"
Heatherna spread a pair of bat wings behind her back and flew into the air. The blood-red whip in her hand dripped corrosive blood droplets enough to dissolve gold and break iron. She swung the whip around the spear in the hand of a giant statue, and pulled , the spear broke from it with thick smoke. The little bat spirit looked up, and took the time to shout to the people below: "It seems that there are more giants coming from other streets!"
The data terminal also transmitted the processed aerial view of the battlefield in time. The holographic projection floating beside Hao Ren showed a clear street model, and a large red spot of light was moving between the streets, quickly heading towards the place where everyone was fighting. coming.
"That's right... These guys have a unified command!" Y'zaks just glanced at the bird's-eye view and saw the clues, "And they are blocking the path we chose before... Could it be that we have been under surveillance?"
Hao Ren was about to speak when he heard "Meow, woo woo—" a scream came from the side, and then a petite body bumped into his back: "Roll" couldn't dodge while fighting a giant statue, and was kicked. Kicked over.
The cat girl's injury is not serious, but I'm afraid she won't be able to continue fighting for a while.
And Hao Ren once again saw those almost transparent phantoms escaping from the body of the fallen stone soldier.
soul? Or something else
"Have you seen those shadows?" Hao Ren pointed to a stone statue that had just been smashed into pieces by Lily's fist and kick. "When the stone statue falls down, some shadows will float out of their bodies!"
Y'zaks' eyes widened: "Shadow? What shadow?"
Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment: Only he can see it
But soon he put this matter behind him: anyway, there are countless unexplainable unique phenomena that have happened to him, and now he doesn't care about such an extra eye opening, he just said his conjecture loudly: " I can see that after each stone statue fell, something like a soul floated out of them, and the thing that floated out seemed to be connected as one in the 'further distance', and that thing was probably that these stone statue soldiers could act in unison s reason!"
"A high-ranking soul? A group of golems controlled by a higher-level spiritual network?" The little demon girl sitting on Yizaks' shoulder instantly thought of the field she was familiar with, "Uncle Ren, can you see where those floating things are? Is there a place to gather?"
"boom!!"
A deafening explosion came from nearby, and a huge electric arc was shot from the two brighter and brighter "lightning turbines" behind Vivian, and the electric arc of this energy level finally directly penetrated the body of a stone statue soldier. Insulate the crust and fry it to pieces.
Hao Ren, on the other hand, caught the transparent phantom escaping from the stone soldier's body for the first time.
It drifted up into the air, heading towards the temple in the center of the city. As it drifted away, it became more and more transparent and illusory. Soon, even Hao Ren couldn't see its trace clearly. But before that, Hao Ren could roughly confirm that the "shadow" was indeed combined with a larger transparent phantom when it rose to an altitude of about four or five hundred meters.
This scene is like an invisible "jellyfish" floating in mid-air, and the jellyfish is retracting its tentacles.
"That direction!" Hao Ren raised his finger and pointed to the place where the transparent phantom finally dissipated. "There's something there! It's floating above the city, and its range probably covers at least one-third of the city!"
Elizabeth nodded, and then carefully observed the distribution of the Colossus Corps on the bird's-eye view from the data terminal, as well as the movement patterns of the Colossus Corps on the nearby streets, and began a quick mental calculation.
Lily rushed over with a smell of stones all over her body, and wiped her face in front of Hao Ren: "Landlord, what is Elizabeth doing?"
"She seems to be able to understand the operation rules of these stone statue soldiers," Hao Ren said. "The stone statue soldiers should have a higher-level command system, and we must find a way to interfere with this system."
"Then you'd better hurry up," Lily said as she picked up a half-ton stone slab from the side, and smashed it hard at a black giant statue not far away, "It seems that another wave of stone men is coming! Our progress is getting slower and slower!"
"Don't worry," Hao Ren said with confidence in Elizabeth, "she is an expert in golems."
boom—
A nearby building suddenly collapsed violently. The high granite wall collapsed, and a huge stone hand protruded from behind. Immediately afterwards, giant statue soldiers jumped over the high wall and landed on the street.
The group of bats behind Vivienne made piercing sounds, and the increasingly intense electromagnetic vortex began to rotate in the two storms. Everyone at the scene felt their skin tingle slightly: a new electromagnetic storm was ready.
At this moment, Elizabeth finally completed her mental calculation. She raised her finger and pointed to a certain position in the sky: "To that direction! Throw the electromagnetic storm in that direction!"
Vivian did not hesitate at all. The electromagnetic vortex generated by the two groups of bats has turned into a dazzling light flow that seems to be substantial. This is more terrifying than the electromagnetic burst she created in the temple before. When the two rotating electric fields are about to The moment before she lost control, she drove the magic power and threw them directly in the direction Elizabeth indicated.
Lightning and a strong magnetic field erupt at the same time—this is definitely a powerful EMP.
The Colossus Corps was extremely resistant to simple electric shocks, but the oscillating electric field produced a strong magnetism, which was enough to make those stone men lose their ability to move.
And at the same time that the large-scale electromagnetic storm in the sky broke out completely, a previously hidden thing finally appeared in front of everyone.
