The Age of Machines

Chapter 757

A city is composed of players and NPCs, even in remote areas there will be players.Once the number of players in the main city reaches the upper limit, players will be sent to other cities.Therefore, players will be distributed in large and small cities, and they will only enter the main city or the imperial capital during missions.

There must have been many players in the city here from the beginning.The monsters invaded wantonly, and now the city has been destroyed, the NPC may die in this catastrophe, and the player's life and death are unknown.

The surviving buildings are the only signs that the monsters once invaded this area. Maybe even after the dark years have passed, this area may not return to its original appearance in a short time.

The breeze blows, takes away the dust on the ground, and floats in the air. The dust flies past. Beixi puts on the goggles. The civet cat sees her movement and teases, "You don't need to do this."

Beixi: "There is too much sand, and it is also a dark age period, so we have to be prepared."

Take out the goggles every day.

Goggles are adventure props for players to go out. It can be said that every player who likes to go on adventures in desert areas or wastelands has a defense.

This kind of glasses is still somewhat different from the equipment.Generally do not focus on adding attributes.Although the goggles are slightly different from job to job, they all have the same function.

Because of the virtual simulation, the wind and sand can enter the player's eyes and cause temporary blindness. Depending on the intensity of the wind and sand, the duration of blindness varies.

In a place like this that has been eroded by demonic energy, everything is filled with demonic energy. If the player touches it, there is a very high chance that the dark force will invade the body and cause demonization.

Don't think that the only possibility for players to be demonized is to be killed by monsters.Ordinary players just bring sacred props to resist the erosion of a large number of monsters. The sacred power is an invisible barrier to keep the devil energy out, so the player can stand normally in the devil energy.But if the magic energy attached to the foreign object penetrates bit by bit, the mind will be affected by the magic energy, and then it will be directly demonized.

"You'd better wear them too."

The rest of the people also felt that this was safer, and took out their goggles one after another.Sacred props resist the magic energy in the air, and the player touches other substances that carry magic energy through the body, and the magic energy can easily enter the body.

"There should still be a lot of monsters left here, everyone be careful."

Although this place has been completely destroyed, monsters will still wander here, waiting for their prey to appear.There are not a few adventurous players like them.

After walking a few steps, there was a low whimpering sound from the ruins of the collapsed house in front of him.The group couldn't help but stop, holding their weapons tightly.

That figure crawled out slowly, with a human body but like a reptile, the hair covered half of the face, although only half of the face was exposed, it was extremely terrifying.It moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was only half a meter away from everyone. The civet cat pierced through the head with a bow, instantly killing it.

The thing whimpered again, stopped moving and fell to the ground, blood flowed into the ground, gradually turning black.This is a highly poisonous monster, but fortunately it killed it in seconds before it attacked them.

"This kind of monster won't act alone..." Tanuki said after killing it.This Greemo is a low-level monster, but it can also have a great impact on players, just because this monster likes to act in groups.

They resemble humans, but they crawl and attack, their limbs are bent and soft, like spiders, they move fast and are agile.It is easier to catch a single one, but if it is a group, it is difficult to hit all of them by jumping up and down.

After the civet cat said this, greedy demons continued to crawl out of the ruins, densely packed, big and small.The big Greemo is in the shape of an adult, and the small one can be as small as a baby, with a big head and a small body, and the eyeballs protrude like they are embedded in the face.

The civet cat pursed its lips, "Look at my crow's mouth." As soon as he said this, the swarm of Greemo moved towards them, very fast.

They all retreated subconsciously, and attacked while retreating.Lollipop first threw a blessing, and Beixi and Rashomon summoned a mechanical beast.The mechanical beasts of the defense system have steel bodies, and their innate ability is to resist attacks, so they can attract firepower first, and then they can buy time for Beixi and others to increase the appropriate attack distance.

All of a sudden, those greedy demons jumped on the mechanical beasts and gnawed them. This was the first reaction of all monsters when they saw objects that were not contaminated with demonic energy.

In their eyes, there are only two types of existence, one is the same kind, and the other is the enemy or prey.

There are a lot of those monsters, so Beixi and Rashomon also underestimated the power from the hungry monsters.A wolf and a fat warrior had already rushed to the street after only running more than ten meters. The monsters chased after them. Beixi and the others attacked while retreating. As the monsters behind drowned the remains of the mechanical beasts, the number increased rapidly.

"That number is kind of scary."

Probably not just thousands.Ukiyo-e can only estimate in this way. After all, the monsters chasing after them are like a walking ocean, churning and flowing. With one move, what they kill is only a little bit of the total number.

"Encountering this kind of monster is the most troublesome." Day by day, he said with emotion.

"Take them out of the city to fight?" They were only a hundred meters away from the city gate.But the terrain outside the city is wide, and the number of monsters will easily surround them. If there are enemies on the left and right, it will be very difficult for them to cooperate no matter how they fight.

"Separately fight." A magic circle flashed in Beixi's palm, and then a huge mechanical beast descended from the sky. It looked like an ape, with a steel body.It roared angrily, and slapped the ground with its palm wide, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, stunning the group of Greemo in the front.Afterwards, they got into the group of monsters and slapped them away with one slap, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the monsters, and Beixi recalled them from afar.

"separate?"

"Two people lead the line, is it okay?"

Although it would be more convenient for everyone to find a place to stabilize the output together, the city was almost destroyed, and there was no favorable terrain for them to face it head-on.

In the past few days, they have seen a lot of monsters attacking the city. In fact, this amount of low-level monsters is just an appetizer in their eyes.

Nord Stream made proposals considering the quantity and topography.

"can."

Ukiyo-e: "I take a batch out of the city myself."

"Row."

"Gathering just at the location in 5 minutes." Beixi opened the map and shared it with the team.

Then he turned around and ran to a side road without hesitation, Wei Shengmo followed.

Ukiyo-e continued to run, and the destination was the plain outside the city gate.Lollipop and Yi Yi ran to the other side of the intersection, and the number of Greemo quickly dispersed.

Tanuki and Rashomon stopped, and the two stood on the stone ruins with their backs leaning against each other, cleaning up the monsters that kept coming from the left and right sides.

Simply these are low-level monsters.With their attack power, they can't kill them in seconds, so it's probably not justified.

Beixi and Weishengmo are not slow, and the two cooperate tacitly. Beixi is only responsible for a burst of chaos, and can be killed in seconds, and the monster that just touches the blood on the edge of the attack range is still unable to escape One after another, they died under the daggers of thieves.

On the other hand, Lollipop and Yi Yi Yi Tian did not expect to run into a dead end.Originally, there were many intersections on the left and right sides of the main street. Although some of them were blocked by stones, they could blast them away with their skills.and keep running...

But dead ends are different.

The setting itself cannot be destroyed, so a large shield is sacrificed day by day, and one of them will be blown away, plus the lollipop's own god animal husbandry, the damage to monsters is high, although it is a priest, but The output is plenty.

The two of them started to kill the monster slowly.

Ukiyo-e led a group of greedy monsters out of the city, and they divided the total into one point, even if they were facing hundreds of monsters, it was more than enough for one person to deal with them.

Ukiyo-e didn't feel the pressure.

A fire storm can cut off about fifteen Greemo, and his normal attack with a burn effect can slowly grind them to death.

As soon as these greedy monsters came out, Ukiyoe couldn't stand up and output by himself, he could only keep moving and attacking.Greevil is a low-level monster, but it seems to become smarter when it sees its prey.

Speeding up, he wanted to surround the human beings in front of him, but he didn't expect the human beings to see through their intentions. When they were about to surround him in a semicircle, the human speed suddenly increased, broke away from the encirclement, and pulled a certain distance.

After that, it was the magic of fire, and the companions died one by one.But they will not feel sorry for it, nor will they have any emotions.Monsters are cold-blooded existences, they always only obey the orders of the inner consciousness, bloodthirsty is instinct.

Five minutes later, the seven gathered again.

With monsters of this level, it is nothing to be happy that everyone came back safe and sound.If the enemies are hundreds of high-level monsters, maybe they still have some sense of accomplishment.

Open the map, and a group of people continue to rush to the destination.After walking for a while to make sure there was nothing threatening, they summoned their mounts again and began flying low.

The low-altitude flight is only above the city, which may be the height of the buildings in the city so far.Seeing the monsters, if the monsters take the initiative to attack, Beixi and the others can't just leave.

Once attacked, the player's riding status will automatically disappear and enter the combat mode.At Beixi's height, no matter what kind of monster they are, they can hit them.

Because they encountered a lot of sky visions along the way, everyone did not dare to fly at higher altitudes, and the time they stayed along the way was not too much. The speed of their mounts was still very fast. law hit.

Only when they are hit, the system will forcibly cancel their riding status and let them return to land to fight.

After all, the scope of Lingdu is still very large.

Even if it can't compare to the city of Leslie, but counting the time they spent, it is already considered a large-scale area.What's more, the spirits are a combination of cities and cities. The Aden City they are going to is in the northwest, and there are two small areas separated by two small areas on the map, which means that they still need to cross two cities.Looking at the shape of the area, one is large and the other is small, and the edges are all waterways. It seems that there is a water area in this spiritual city that runs through all the cities.

"A small town, and a city."

The scope of a small town will not be too large, that is, the area of ​​the city will be relatively large. Apart from the distance, they also need to consider the time they will be attacked by monsters halfway.

Maybe another half hour or so.It was originally planned to arrive at the destination in 10 minutes, but there were too many monsters on the way, which was unexpected.

"This can be said to be the living area of ​​monsters."

Human cities seemed to be their habitats, and there were all kinds of monsters, which also gave them some insight.

All the way is deliberately speeding up the flight, and there are many stops in it.It took 34 minutes, and finally, they arrived at the destination of this trip, [Aton City].

A European city.

Near the water, most of the buildings along the coast adopt the style of old castles. The houses are closely connected with different colors. The trees along the way have withered, leaving only dead branches and leaves.Occasionally there are circular houses sandwiched between large and small castles.

The houses here do not appear to have all been destroyed.

At least there are quite a few houses in good condition. Beixi and the others were a little surprised walking on the street.

It seemed that monsters had invaded here, but it was completely different from the invaded towns they had seen before.

It's like, it's just an abandoned city abandoned by humans.

"Aton City... If the sky is not so gloomy now, with blue sky and white clouds, plus these landscape buildings, this place should be a good place." Rashomon felt rather regretful.

Maybe it's a pity that I didn't know there was such a beautiful city before, and it's a pity that I didn't visit it at its most beautiful moment. Maybe it's just a pity that this city was overturned overnight in a place unknown to the players.

"It's strange, according to the aggressive nature of monsters, if they don't destroy houses and kill all humans, they won't retreat easily."

"I think so too." Ukiyoe frowned.Are there a lot of monsters around here? Could it be that they came at the wrong time, maybe just in time for the monsters to invade.

Tanuki looked around, "It doesn't look like the monster just left."

The color of the house doesn't look that bright, even if the house has just been destroyed, it still looks brand new, but the house has begun to accumulate dust.

The neighborhood is full of demonic energy, and wind and sand blow from the surrounding cities from time to time. There are a lot of black and gray objects on the surface of those houses, which should have been occupied when the dark calendar began a few days ago.

Ukiyo-e: "That's just an explanation."

Several people looked at him.

"The monster left before it could completely destroy it."

"What about the residents?" Lollipop asked. "Looking at the extent of the destruction, it must be that not all the residents here have been killed." In the case of other towns, the buildings were destroyed, and no residents of the town must have survived.Monsters generally destroy houses first and then kill humans.

"Why don't monsters wait until they are destroyed before leaving? This is not their style. Did something happen? For example, the gathering of wizards or something?"

This city really gave them a lot of puzzles that they couldn't understand.
