Chapter 1404 The control system behind the colossus
When the data terminal flew into the air for reconnaissance, Hao Ren began to pay attention to the movements of the "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 like chess pieces on a chessboard.
It was completely presented before his eyes. During the observation process, Hao Ren discovered one thing:
There are large and small temples everywhere in the ancient city, and there are stone statue corps gathering outside almost every one. However, the big temple in the center of the ancient city is calm, and the stone statue corps assembled from the other end of the city are moving towards it.
During the siege, they seemed to have deliberately avoided the Great Temple in the center of the city. They would not even step onto the huge stone stairs leading to the Great Temple.
Is the Great Temple some kind of "forbidden area" for these stone statues?
Although it is unknown whether these stone statue soldiers will continue to abide by this "restriction" after the invaders break into the Great Temple, but 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, you first have to pass through the growing number of stone statue soldiers surrounding the Great Temple.
Hao Ren told others about his discovery, and without much discussion, everyone reached a consensus: go to the Great Temple!
The data terminal hovered over the city, like a detection satellite, constantly sending the bird's-eye view of the front to the holographic projection in front of Hao Ren. A "best path" that could avoid most of the Colossus soldiers was clearly marked on the projection.
, although it is still unavoidable to encounter a small group of enemies, but before arriving at the big temple, you can at least avoid the dilemma of being surrounded by guards to the greatest extent.
The team began to move towards the Great Temple.
Vivian was flying in the air several meters above the ground. Two groups of black bats formed two huge horizontal vortices, spinning on both sides behind her like a pair of giant wings. Hissing electric sparks flew across the bats.
The swarm shoots and jumps, generating a powerful electric field that makes people's scalp numb. She is charging for the next wave of magnetic storms, and this powerful bat swarm can also release thunder and lightning shocks at any time to deal with those stone statue soldiers that appear alone.
.
"Two hundred meters ahead, turn left. There are twelve stone statue soldiers gathered. You can't go around. Just shoot 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 contained a lot of sand. However, Hao Ren had no time to worry about the choice of words and sentences with the pda, because he had already seen the gathering from a distance.
Black stone statue standing up.
The old granite buildings on both sides of the street collapsed, and the huge black stone statues one after another were like Titans climbing up Mount Olympus, stepping onto the streets on the broken stone slabs and pillars, and the moment they first appeared
, two dazzling electric arcs fell from the sky and simultaneously bombarded the chest of the first colossus.
The black shell on the chest of the stone statue guard cracked into countless fragments. The giant statue's huge body shook violently backwards, but the next second it stood upright again.
A terrifying crack opened in the chest of this stone statue, but the protective shell at the core was not completely penetrated.
It seems that simple lightning will not have a very good effect on these stone statues. Their shells have excellent insulation capabilities.
The stone statue raised its head, and a pair of blood-red lights lit up on its crocodile-like head. It seemed to let out a silent roar, and then raised the iron staff in its hand and pointed it at Vivian, who was flying in the air. A dazzling eye quickly condensed on the end of the iron staff.
energy ball.
But before the energy ball was launched, a blue beam 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 burst out violently. In the overflowing light, the colossus banged
It exploded and turned into overwhelming blue crystal dust.
Hao Ren raised his pistol and aimed it at the torso of another stone statue. At the same time, he pressed the combination safety button of the magnetic oscillation bomb in his other hand. While throwing the grenade forcefully, he shouted: "Be careful! The stone statue soldiers appear and can use magic."
The guy!"
Hesiana spread a pair of bat wings from her back and flew up into the air. The blood-red whip in her hand kept dripping corrosive blood drops that were enough to dissolve gold and broken iron. She swung the whip to wrap around the spear in the hand of a colossus and pulled hard.
, the spear broke from it with a hissing smoke. The little bat spirit raised his head and took the time to shout loudly below: "There seem to be more colossi running over on other streets!"
The data terminal also sent the processed aerial view of the battlefield in time. The holographic projection suspended next to Hao Ren showed a clear street model. A large red light spot was seen moving between the streets, quickly heading towards the place where everyone was fighting.
Come.
"It's true...these guys have unified command!" Yzaks just glanced at the bird's eye view and saw the clues, "And they are blocking the path we chose before...Are we always under surveillance?"
Just as Hao Ren was about to speak, he heard a scream of "meow" coming from the side, and then a petite body bumped into his back: "Gun" couldn't dodge while fighting a giant statue, and was kicked.
Came over.
Cat Girl's injury is not serious, but she may not be able to continue fighting for a while.
Hao Ren once again saw those almost transparent phantoms escaping from the fallen stone soldiers.
Soul? Or something else?
"Have you seen those shadows?" Hao Ren pointed to a stone statue that had just been broken into pieces by Lily's fists and kicks. "When the stone statues fall, some shadows will float out from their bodies!"
Yzaks' eyes widened: "Shadow? What shadow?"
Hao Ren was suddenly startled: Only he can see it?
But he quickly put this matter behind him: anyway, there were countless unexplained unique phenomena that happened to him. Now he didn't care about such an eye-opening situation. He just said his conjecture loudly: "
I can see that after each stone statue falls, something like a soul floats out of their bodies. The things floating out seem to be connected into one body 'further away'. That thing is probably that these stone statue soldiers can act in unison.
The reason!”
"High-ranking souls? A group of golems controlled by a superior spiritual network?" The little demon girl sitting on Y'zaks' shoulders instantly thought of the field she was familiar with, "Uncle Ren, where can you see those things floating out?
Is there a place to gather?”
"boom!!"
A deafening explosion came from nearby, and the two increasingly brighter "lightning turbines" behind Vivian were seen criss-crossing with huge arcs of electricity. The arcs of this energy level finally directly penetrated a stone soldier's body.
The insulating shell was blown to pieces.
Hao Ren was the first to capture the transparent phantom that escaped from the body of the stone statue soldier.
It floated up into the air, drifting towards the temple in the center of the city. As it floated farther away, it became more and more transparent and illusory, and soon even Hao Ren couldn't see it clearly.
But before that, Hao Ren could roughly confirm that the "shadow" had indeed merged with a larger transparent shadow when it rose to an altitude of about four to 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 hand and pointed to the position where the transparent shadow finally dissipated, "There is something there! It is floating above the city, and its range probably covers at least one-third of the city!"
Elizabeth nodded, then carefully observed the distribution of the Colossus Corps on the overhead map transmitted from the data terminal, as well as the movement patterns of the Colossus Corps on the nearby streets, and began to do rapid mental calculations.
Lily rushed over with the smell of gravel 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 operating 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 it's best to hurry up," Lily said as she picked up a half-ton stone slab from the side and slammed it against a black giant not far away, "It seems like another wave of stone men is coming!
Our progress is getting slower and slower!"
"Don't worry," Hao Ren said with great 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. Then, one after another, giant statues climbed over the high wall and fell on the street.
The bat swarm behind Vivian made a piercing sound, and the increasingly strong electromagnetic vortex began to rotate in the two storms. Everyone on the scene felt their skin tingling slightly: a new electromagnetic storm was ready.
At this moment, Elizabeth finally completed her mental arithmetic. She raised her finger and pointed to a certain location in the sky: "In that direction! Throw the electromagnetic storm in that direction!"
Vivian didn't hesitate at all. The electromagnetic vortex generated by the two groups of bats had turned into a dazzling light stream that seemed to be real. This was more terrifying than the electromagnetic burst she had created in the temple before. When these two rotating electric fields were about to
The moment she lost control, she used her magic power to throw them directly in the direction indicated by Elizabeth.
Lightning and a strong magnetic field burst out at high altitude at the same time. This was definitely an extremely powerful emp.
The Colossus Corps is extremely resistant to simple electric shocks, but the oscillating and changing electric field produces strong magnetism, which is strong enough to render those stone men incapacitated.
And when the massive electromagnetic storm in the sky completely erupted, something that had been hidden before finally emerged in front of everyone.
