Chapter 53 The Ancient City
Rumble.
The sea water around was trembling slightly, and a huge magic circle with the metal disc as the center formed rapidly, covering everyone around.
"Large-scale teleportation magic array!" Bar cursed inwardly.
However, before I could explain, Barr and others disappeared into the teleportation array with a white light. The metal disk completed its final mission and turned into dust in a blink of an eye.
Space flow.
Here is a cliff, and at the bottom is a huge pool of water. A huge waterfall pours down from the edge of the cliff with a rumbling roar and falls into the pool below.
Everyone showed their heads from the pool and swam back to the shore.
Barr shook the water droplets on his body.
This is a huge valley with a vague outline of a building in the distance, surrounded by mountains, and behind the peak is a gray area, which is not real. Barr checked the map below and showed the ancient ruins: Ulaanbaatar, other places are pitch black.
This method of opening positioning and teleportation is not common in the exploration of ruins. Usually, this ancient ruin is located in a free plane outside the main world. Barr has only heard of it, but he didn't expect to encounter it the first time. The internal situation of this ruin is difficult to predict. The instant change of the terrain has also made Barr lose some of the preparations he made in advance.
"Sir, what is that?" A tauren soldier looked at the cliff in surprise.
Turning around and looking up the cliff, Barr's eyes narrowed.
I saw several huge gaps cracked in the air above the cliff. The cracks were of different sizes, but the smallest one was hundreds of meters long. A large area of sky around was covered with dense cracks, and black fog was filled with the gaps, and blue and purple lightning flashed from time to time, as if the sky was torn apart. The aura of destruction emitted from time to time made people shudder.
"What level of power is this to be able to directly crush the plane barrier?" Barr felt awe-inspiringly.
Look at the shape of these cracks, they are not very similar to the attacks of war weapons. In ancient times, most of the attack methods of war weapons were energy beams and energy bombs, and the destruction traces were relatively regular, so it was difficult to cause such irregular cracks. But if it was artificial, then this person's strength was really terrifying.
"Sir, is this a ruin?" Lilith observed the surroundings.
"kindness."
Bar came to his senses and nodded, "If I read it correctly, this should be a small artificial plane. The gaps behind may be left by previous invaders."
"Let's go, let's check the situation around you first."
......
About one kilometer south gate of the ancient city, under a dirt slope, Barr and others are quietly hiding here.
Not far ahead is a dilapidated city, with the city gates decayed, the surrounding city walls are covered with pits of various sizes, and some traces of cold weapons. Several sections of the city walls have collapsed. It seems that a war has occurred here.
The city is not small, with a radius of more than ten kilometers. The traces of its former prosperity can be vaguely seen from the entire layout. Several teams of steel guards more than three meters high at the south gate are patrolling. Because of the barrier of the city wall, the internal situation is still unclear.
"Sir, these guards are ancient magic puppets." Lilith whispered.
Bar nodded, not daring to be careless.
These magic puppets can still operate smoothly after so many years, which means that some energy supply systems are still operating in this city, so there are no guarantee that there will be powerful weapons left over from ancient times. Although the ruins are only 3o, these ancient technologies are difficult to predict and have to be guarded against.
"It seems that you can't act rashly." Barr said intimately.
"Lilith, bring a few archers in the team and first investigate the situation around the city, and the others stay in place for the time being."
"yes."
"You guys, come with me."
Lily's ribbon onto the team turned around and left.
This kind of magic puppet usually comes with a magic sensing system, so it is difficult for assassins to hide traces in front of them. However, under normal circumstances, these magic puppets of about 3O level will not be too far away, so the bow and arrow book will naturally become the best choice. Their vision is much wider than other professions, and it is more suitable for reconnaissance.
Barr and others were waiting quietly.
......
About two quarters of an hour.
Swish.
There was a slight sound from the grass behind him. Barr turned around and saw that it was Lilith and the others who were back.
"Sir." Lilith lowered her body and walked to Barr and whispered, "There are four entrances in this city, one in the southeast, west and north. There are such magic puppets at the door. Several sections of the city walls in the north have collapsed. We now have many necro creatures in it, with a large number of them, including a few rare elites."
"Needle creature." Barr murmured to himself.
Different from the undead clan, they are not considered to be members of the undead clan. They are usually formed by organisms under the pollution of high concentration of death breath, and some magic can also cause this effect. Unlike the high wisdom of the undead clan, undead creatures do not have wisdom. They only have predatory instincts and are not afraid of death. The death toxins they carry are also very troublesome.
However, the most important thing at the moment is to figure out how much self-defense is left in the city.
"Lawa." Barr shouted softly
A catman assassin ran over in the back of the team. Barr gave a few instructions, and Rava nodded and left.
The advantage of magic puppets is loyalty and reliable, but their disadvantages are also obvious, that is, they are very rigid. They will only execute according to pre-set commands and lack flexibility. Barr needs to determine their alert range and reaction mechanism.
This magic defense system of ancient ruins usually has two reaction mechanisms. One is the regional touch type, that is, after the invaders appear, only the guards in a specific area will enter the combat state; the other is the chain reaction type, which is more troublesome. As long as an invader appears in a region, all the defense systems will be activated and all the guards will enter the combat state.
Whoosh.
Lava's agility value is very high, and the Assassin profession will have bonuses for mobility and concealment. Lava's sneaking steps are light and fast.
Five hundred meters away from the city gate.
Lava slowed down and moved forward slowly. Although these ancient magic puppets were just ordinary templates, they were not weaker in strength than elite troops. And now he was not clear about the opponent's attack methods, so he needed to be more careful.
Four hundred and fifty meters.
Four hundred meters.
......
When Rava stepped into a range of 300 meters, four magic puppets in armor standing at the gate of the city, their eyes flashed red, and instantly locked on Rava who was stealthing, pulled out the giant axe behind them, and rushed over.
"The intruder is now, start the fighting posture!"
Several teams of silver-armored guards on both sides of the city gate stopped, pulled out their weapons, and turned around and rushed forward.
Keralala.
Directly above the city gate, two strange metal machinery also rose from the gap opened at the top of the city wall.
At the bottom is a triangular bracket, fixed on a circular metal plate, and at the top is a semicircular metal sphere, with two metal cannons protruding from the front. Between the two cannons, the ring-shaped indicator light is flashing in turn, and about one-third of it has been lit up while speaking.
"Magic Fort!" Barr was startled and turned around immediately, "Bat, protect Rava from retreat, pay attention to the two magic Forts on the city gate, don't let Rava be beaten."
After hearing this, Bart got up and rushed forward.
The magic turret is a small city defense weapon. Although the attack frequency is not high due to the need to be charged before the attack, its power is quite amazing. Of course, depending on their models, the lethality is also very different. However, the assassin profession itself is anti-hypoxia, and even the lowest lethality model is quite dangerous to be hit.
"Um?"
Lava, who was sneaking, looked at the guard chasing him, turned around and ran backwards.
The guards behind the silver armored guards chased each other, but they were slower than Lava in terms of degree, and gradually the distance was widened. Lava glanced at the back and his face relaxed.
"Lawa, be careful of the turret behind!" Barr's voice came from the front.
"Hey, be careful, why are Bart coming here?"
When Rava heard the shout, he looked up and saw Bart rushing towards him.
Running Bart glanced at the magic turret on the left side of the city wall that was about to be recharged. His eyes were fixed, he grabbed the giant tower shield in his hand, and threw it hard behind Rava!
call out!
Boom!!
A loud bang came.
The rock tower shield was hit by the turret and instantly exploded in mid-air, with dust flying. The broken stones splashed everywhere, leaving holes of large and small on the ground.
Chapter completed!
