Almost as soon as Hao Ren and his party set foot on the ramp leading to the Great Temple, all the wandering stone giants stopped at the same time, and then a huge jellyfish-like strange spirit appeared on the surface of the sky. After bursts of light, the electromagnetic shield that Vivian had created before began to make crackling sounds. In the violent energy collision, the electromagnetic shield disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The colossus corps instantly recovered their ability to coordinate. They seemed to be irritated by the intruder's blasphemous behavior, and began to rush towards the direction of the Great Temple. The destructive posture destroyed all obstacles in front of them. Countless ancient houses and towers were overthrown, and the solid stone ground was trampled into powder. The footsteps of the Colossus Corps swept the entire city like rolling thunder, and even the Great Temple The whole high ground was shaking slightly.
"The Stone Legion is going crazy!" Lily's ear hairs stood up, and she ran behind Hao Ren in no time, "Landlord! Are you sure these guys won't go near the Great Temple?"
Hao Ren didn't say a word for a moment, because in fact he wasn't 100% sure of his guess. He just pulled Lolisa and Hesianna who were stunned beside him when he saw the gargoyles swarming in: "Retreat to the Great Temple first. At least the building looks solid. Even if the stone statue soldiers continue to move forward, we can rely on the walls of the Great Temple to fight the opponent for a while."
Hessiana doesn't have much experience in dealing with this kind of battle, and she is particularly nervous at this time: "Are you reliable—if you are not reliable, Lord Vivienne will be in danger with you!"
"Don't worry, I have dealt with many more dangerous things than these things," Hao Ren smiled nonchalantly, "And even if I can't stop so many stone statue soldiers, I can still bring you all out of this strange place safely. Space—there's nothing in this world that can stand in the way of a censor."
"Tch... the tone sounds rather coquettish..." Hessiana muttered to herself, but she followed Hao Ren obediently and climbed towards the ramp of the Great Temple.
The entire central temple is built on a high platform higher than the city. Several pyramid-shaped building bodies and rectangular palaces scattered among the pyramids together form this magnificent and magnificent ancient building complex. The high platform they are on is not What is the "natural terrain", but a bone plate on the head of the giant beast Ethos - in this city built on the top of the giant beast's head, there is no so-called "natural terrain" at all.
And this kind of terrain also led to a long ramp around the Great Temple. The countless steps on this ramp are a striking boundary that separates the temple area from the surrounding ordinary urban areas.
The Colossus Corps stopped in front of the ramp, and everything was exactly as Hao Ren expected.
They gathered more and more at the foot of the Great Temple, and the stone statue guards gathered from all over the city almost formed a dark ocean under the ramp. The creatures were furious below. They pushed, shook, and even relied on demolishing nearby buildings to "exhaust their anger", but in the end, none of the stone statues crossed even one step at the bottom of the temple.
"Huh... You guys guessed pretty well," Heatherana breathed out at this moment, she wiped the thin beads of sweat from her face, and at the same time glanced at the "roll" on Hao Ren's back, " How is the cat?"
"Before she was kicked by a stone statue and suffered internal injuries, but I gave her some biscuits from the Goddess. At this time, the injuries have healed, but the spirit is a little listless," Hao Ren said, turning his head and taking a look. , the cat girl's sleepy, silly face just lay on his shoulders, her fluffy ears rested on his face peacefully and tiredly, she felt itchy on her face when she shook her head slightly, this guy made all kinds of fuss when he was awake , after really falling asleep, it was quite peaceful, "Well... it seems that the 'medicine strength' came up, and I have already fallen asleep."
"Landlord," Lily tugged at Hao Ren's arm, "What do you think will be in that great temple?"
Hao Ren looked up, and saw the sand-yellow pyramid at the end of the ramp standing majestically above it. The top of the pyramid pointed straight to a huge vortex at the boundary of the different space, as if it attracted the destruction of this lost city.
"I don't know," he shook his head, "but we've all come here, at least we have to investigate the most important places. This city looks like it was destroyed by the red moon, but Vivian didn't I remember what happened here, so our investigation may be the only hope to help Vivienne retrieve this memory."
"Oh," Lily nodded, looking at Vivienne flying in the air, "Bats really make people trouble..."
Hao Ren and his party quickly arrived at the gate of the central pyramid of the Great Temple without the interruption of the Colossus Corps.
Unlike the previous "small" temple, this central temple is obviously superior in the selection of building materials. Its gate still stands firmly and intact, like a serious soldier standing in front of everyone, guarding All the secrets of the Great Pyramid.
Vivienne landed, first looked around, and frowned slightly: "Why can't I see a single stone statue here..."
"Isn't it better if you can't see it?" Lily's thinking was very simple, "Besides, the landlord said before that the stone statues came from the surrounding temples, and the temple in the city center is a forbidden area for stone statues. "
"Even if there are no guarded stone statues, there should be decorative sculptures here," Vivienne shook her head, "That is the most basic equipment for a temple—at least according to the architectural style of this city, the inside of the temple is a must." There are sculptures."
"Yes," Lily pointed to the top of a nearby palace, "Look at the big dog's head over there!"
Vivienne gave the husky girl a blank look: "I didn't mean that kind! And it's obviously a wolf head, okay? Don't force normal wolves to your side just because you accept the setting that you are a dog!"
Lily: "..."
"No matter what, it's better not to see that kind of stone guard than to continue to be chased and beaten by the other party." Seeing that Lily and Vivienne were getting further and further apart, Lolisa hurriedly interrupted, "This door It seems to be magically reinforced, maybe I can try to crack it..."
Lolisa hadn't finished speaking when she heard a loud "bang" coming from the side, and then the magic-reinforced, seemingly indestructible copper gate fell to pieces, surrounded by smoke and dust, Hao Ren He shook out with two unused blasting patches: "What did you say?"
Lolisa: "..."
"Ahem, you need to get used to it slowly, the landlord has always solved problems like this," Lily patted Lolisa on the shoulder, "Blowing up the problem will be fine."
Lolisa continued: "..."
The gate had been perfectly cracked by Hao Ren through technical means, and everyone became more vigilant and followed Hao Ren into this ancient temple that had been sealed for thousands of years.
Huozhi was very happy that the flickering flames made the dim temple corridor look extraordinarily eerie, but apart from this eerie feeling, Hao Ren and his party didn't see any enemies in it, or it seemed that they might become enemy stuff.
The interior of the temple is magnificent, but the furnishings are simple and simple beyond imagination.
This is the largest building complex in the city. From the outside, it has a super-high-standard grand shape and scale, but inside, it lacks decoration like a simple grotto. There are no exquisite stone sculptures, no ceremonial items inlaid with precious stones and precious metals, and even the most common daily utensils are very rare. After passing through several rooms, there are only dusty rock tables and stools and The wooden lampstands that have been decayed for many years, apart from these "furnitures" that can be described as penance utensils, there is not even a single metal vessel to be found in this temple.
Not to mention worshiping the gods, the monks living here may even have a problem with normal survival.
However, this great temple was definitely not like this at the beginning, because there were many rooms in the temple that were obviously used to live in by monks, and Hao Ren soon found several "treasure houses" that had been evacuated.
The reason why it can be determined that it is a "treasure house" for storing valuables is because the data terminal found a lot of precious metal dust and a few gemstones left behind on the floors and walls of those rooms.
This central temple was not so simple at the beginning, it was evacuated.
So who vacated the place
"The city was destroyed by the red moon, and the moonlight has not dissipated until today, so it is unlikely that there will be any later tomb robbers." Regarding the weird situation in the Great Temple, Yizaks began to analyze, "The people in the temple There are many rooms, and the structure is also very complicated. From what we have searched so far, we can confirm that it was completely emptied, so it should be evacuated by someone who is quite familiar with the place, and it is an organized and planned action. I think it's the people of the city who did it."
"Civilian mutiny?" Heatherana blinked, "The people at the bottom rebelled against the priests at the top, and then robbed the entire temple?"
"It's unlikely, if that is the case, the damage to the temple will be much greater than what we have seen before," Vivienne shook her head, "And in the age of mythology, it is impossible for 'mortals' to resist the upper priests, even if The upper priests are just servants of the old gods, and the power they possess is not something that ordinary people can resist."
"Then who 'ransacked' this temple?" Hao Ren frowned, "And only the big temple in the center was looted, and nothing was lost in the smaller pyramids nearby."
Vivian shrugged: "Who knows—"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly showed a puzzled expression, and looked up at the end of the corridor.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
Vivian blinked: "I seem to have heard someone call me just now..."
