The Age of Machines

Chapter 767

There are ancient bronze statues on both sides of the stairs.

Most of the bronze statues are in the shape of beasts, with huge bodies and ferocious faces, all of which have different appearances.These should be ancient beasts, at least Beixi has never been in this ruins before, so not much is known about these bronze statues.

"Guardian beast?" In the wild ruins that Ukiyo-e has entered before, there are usually guarding beasts at the entrance of the ruins.The relic activities that players usually participate in generally do not have the guardianship of fierce beasts.

The relic of the event is just a big map. When all the mechanisms and hidden locations have been unearthed, the only thing that can attract players in the relic is some props or equipment that have become popular.

The field ruins are better than the active ruins. In addition to the greater difficulty factor, generally speaking, after this kind of ruins are opened once, the position will change.Even if not, if you want to open it for the second time, the method of opening it may be different from the first time.

Therefore, there are very few equipment produced in the wild ruins, but they can generally be sold at a very high price in the market.

"I can't rule out this possibility." Tanuki and the others have also studied the ruins. Sometimes it is true that stone statues are just decorations needed for the scene, but they may also be opportunities or guardian beasts.If it is a mechanism, it is relatively dangerous, because under normal circumstances, this kind of bronze statue will not be touched by players deliberately, and it will be triggered automatically when it senses an outsider.Players will not have the ability to predict when the organ will appear, so compared to the Guardian Beast, the unknown danger that is potentially unknown is what bothers the player.The mechanism of the attack is fatal to the player.

After walking past the first bronze statue, they stepped on the ninth stairs more cautiously. The eyes of the bronze beast statues on both sides blinked, and the green light flickered. Although it was fleeting, they couldn't escape their eyes.

Stopping to be vigilant, they looked around, and only heard a few "clicks", fast and crisp, and they were startled, it was the sound coming from behind.Turning around abruptly, the stairs behind him disappeared one by one, replaced by smooth slopes, and the stairs were still disappearing. Seeing that they were about to reach their feet, everyone's first reaction was to go forward, but when one person stepped on No.12 When walking up the stairs, the crisp sound of "Kaka" and the strangeness under his feet made his body stiff.The fastest running day in front of him was Yi Yitian who also turned around abruptly, staring at Ukiyo-e in disbelief.

Ukiyo-e stiffened her body, and slowly looked down at the place where her feet were stepping on. A piece of the ladder was sunken, which was obviously a mechanism.

"It's not my fault..." He didn't know that there would be a mechanism here.

Every day is a day with a sad face.As far as this momentary thing was concerned, the stairs on the five floors in front of them plus the range they were in changed rapidly in an instant, until they became flat ground, and everyone lost their balance.Beixi and Weishengmo reacted the fastest. The two of them first thought of going to the bronze statues on both sides. The stairs are not wide at first, and they can grasp the edge as long as they take advantage of the trend. The two of them are the most flexible. If they can be together Arriving in seconds can also prevent other people from having accidents.

However, their thinking was too simple, and the angle of inclination was constantly changing. Both daggers and gloves were used, and the sharp sound of friction continued to sound until the No. 15 staircase was used as the dividing line in three seconds. All the stairs are flat and have been erected at 180 degrees, like a high wall, but unfortunately this high wall is too smooth.

Without exception, they all fell out.

"boom!"

"Aw... Aw~"

Several voices sounded one after another.After two seconds of silence, several people got up from their bodies one after another.One day is one day lying on the ground crying with a mournful face. "I was just thinking that you guys would help me out of danger." After all, he was too unlucky today, and Lollipop persuaded him, if there is a mechanism, how far away can be, so as to ensure his survival rate.Unexpectedly, he was the first to run the farthest from the rear mechanism, and he was the first to land.The armor on his body weighs ten thousand catties, and the warrior's own strength is also very high, so under such circumstances, the speed of descent is the fastest every day, and he has to land before Rashomon.

With such a hit, the back is numb.

Sitting up day by day, staring at Ukiyo-e, the culprit. "I just said that today is not going well. You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Ukiyo-e raised her brows, "I mean your sister, the ghost knows there is a mechanism there."

Holding his heart day by day, "No, I miss my cozy little bed."

The civet cats and the others were amused by him.

Wei Shengmo said at this time: "There is movement."

Everyone immediately withdrew their smiles and entered the combat state, their perception improved, without the influence of magic energy, they could sense the hostile monsters that existed near them.

Rashomon turned around and looked around. It was still the entrance of the ruins they had just entered. Flowers and plants surrounded the stone walls, broken pillars, and the breeze blew by, silently.

But they felt hostility.

Intense, about to explode!
"Behind Ukiyo." Tanuki shouted loudly, and everyone subconsciously distanced themselves. Ukiyoe turned around and raised his scepter, and a fireball hit the huge piranha's open mouth.

"boom."

The piranha was knocked away.

At this moment, the lower body that had not yet fully appeared was fully exposed, and the slender flower paths became its walking legs.The piranha flew two meters, hit the stone wall, and fell into the vegetation behind.

At this time, the civet cat evaded to the left, and shot the bow and arrow in front of itself. The bow and arrow touched the air but were blocked, and the flame burned with a "pop", instantly outlining the figure of the man-eating beast.

Screams began.

"Get out."

Beixi rushed to Rashomon's side. Rashomon turned around and raised his gun. He didn't know what the gun head was holding against. A huge green mouth gradually appeared in front of him. The gun head was stuck deep in his mouth and was tightly entangled. Half of his weapon was dead caught in its mouth.Rashomon frowned slightly, pulled the trigger, the bullet sank, and saliva flew, it was only a dozen centimeters away from Rashomon, and Rashomon's weapon was being gradually swallowed.

Beixi hit the ground with a bang.

As if the magic circle was embedded in the ground, the air flow protruded, and the powerful force blasted it away. Rashomon retreated with his gun, and swung the sniper rifle with his right hand, and all the liquid flowing on the gun body fell.

Thankfully his weapons are immune to this venom.The metal frame is still new.

The surrounding air became very strange, everyone retreated into a circle, turned their backs to each other, looked at each other, and the figures of many man-eating plants gradually emerged.

In addition to piranhas, there are also weird cacti, floating in the air or standing on the ground. Their eyes are red and they are full of hostility towards Beixi and others.

Although the colors of piranhas are different, as long as they open their mouths, they can spray a large amount of venom.A total of about [-] plant monsters appeared, surrounded layer by layer, occupying the small flat land.

"Can it be seconds?" He squinted his eyes day by day, and the sword in his hand was ready to move.

"Level 130, mob." The civet cat quickly glanced at the information given by the system.

One day at a time, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's the second." The magic circle in his right hand turned, and the shield fell in his hand. He held it tightly in front of him and aimed at the monster in front of him to block it, and remained silent.

The symbol of being silenced appeared on the top of the monster's head, and he raised his sword and slashed it every day.

The anger receded.Shocking the mobs in front of them a few meters made room for them to output.There are not many plant monsters, and the level seems to be high. In fact, for Beixi and his players at this stage, only the boss can make them feel troubled.Ordinary mobs have nothing special to attract attention. They think they can be fought every day, but in fact they are just trying to say that the anger shock he performed afterwards is not only to shake the piranhas away, but also caused Lots of damage.

For Beixi and the others, this is a signal that can be output at will.

It took four seconds to solve.

After the special effect of the skill disappeared, it returned to the previous tranquility, and the corpse gradually became transparent, leaving only a pile of loot.The monsters in the ruins, even the lowest-level mobs, will give out ten gold coins. If they are higher-level or boss-type, the chances of appearing legendary weapons will be very high.

But now very few players can hunt boss-level monsters in such high-level ruins.However, if the thief player's stealing technique is very high, for them, this place is a treasure.

"This poison bead..." Lollipop pointed to several light green beads on the ground, "it's a material for making potions."

The civet cat's eyes lit up, "Put it away."

Lollipop nodded and put the poison beads into the package, and the remaining white board equipment was allowed to disappear slowly after the time expired.

After cleaning up a wave of monsters, the group turned their attention to the steps behind them. "After the organ is triggered, it will not be triggered a second time within the same time period."

But what they are more concerned about is whether there will be other agencies.What they triggered before was just a simple mechanism, which did not cause any damage.As in the situation just now, if the agency was harmful, maybe they wouldn't be here now.

"I'll investigate." Wei Shengmo, as a thief, has the skills and props that can eliminate institutions.

Everyone stood by the steps, Wei Shengmo stepped on the first floor and slowly went up.

Rashomon counted up carefully. They triggered the mechanism on the ninth floor, and then Ukiyo-e stepped on the No.12 floor, and then started to divide from the No.15 floor. down.

"One trap every two floors." Rashomon felt that this should be the rule.

"But the stone statues don't exist every two floors." Lollipop pointed to the group of stone statues above. Although the left and right were facing each other, the number of steps between them was irregular.

It is true that the first one is on the third floor, but the number of floors of the bronze statues after that is not every two floors or multiples of three, but irregular.

Beixi said: "Maybe the mechanism is not stored on the stone statue."

The civet cat nodded in agreement, "The stone statue may just be a sensor that triggers the mechanism, so the number of layers is different, but the detection range may be very large."

"The organs are all on the steps."

Just as he was talking, Wei Shengmo stopped at the ninth staircase, which was the very beginning of their trigger mechanism.It should be safe there, and the organ will not be triggered a second time, but there is no guarantee that there will be a second organ.

The organs in this game are all operated by magic. Generally speaking, there is a difference between traps and organs.Traps are made with ordinary tools, and they can do a lot of damage to players, but they are far less lethal than organs.

Weishengmo has a keen sense of mechanism, and the magic element will be emitted when the mechanism is activated, and he himself has the props to check the mechanism, that is, the magic that makes the mechanism invalid.

That is the glove.

When stepping on the steps, Micro-Ink had already changed gloves.It is a unique prop for thieves that can block the mechanism function, and it can only be used ten times at a time.

The maximum number of institutions that exist in a place is almost ten.And the player uses gloves to touch at will, regardless of whether the touch has a mechanism or not, it will be counted once.When the number of times is used up, the props will be invalid for the mechanism and can only be used the next day.

So it doesn't mean that the prop can detect the mechanism by itself, and then the player can use it directly.This is a high-end prop that needs to be used by the player's own judgment.

Wei Shengmo squatted down and looked at the steps roughly, then got up and continued to move forward.The stone statues still exist on the edge of the platform far above. It doesn't mean that every bronze statue is a sensor. The steps are very long, and it doesn't conform to common sense if they all have organs.

The micro-ink has reached the No.15 floor safely.Then set foot on the No.16 floor and continue upward, step by step, slowly and carefully.Until reaching the No.20 floor, Wei Shengmo stood still and lowered his eyes to examine the stairs on the No.20 floor.

Overly obvious mechanisms are sometimes unnoticed by people.The thin lips under the mask were slightly hooked. In this place, I don't know whether it should be said to be easy to be found or too concealed.

He squatted down, looked at the small pattern mark at the junction of the stairs, looked at it carefully for a while, and raised his hand after confirming the pattern.

The people below only saw that the place where his palm met the steps glowed, and the magic circle flickered, which was the broken spell.

"Find the first one."

"let's go."

Wei Shengmo continued to move upwards, while everyone followed slowly.As long as the steps that Wei Shengmo walks through are safe.

It took a group of 5 minutes to finally walk through the 54 steps.Among them, apart from the two previously triggered traps, Weishengmo found a total of five traps along the way.

They made it to the platform unharmed.

Standing still on the platform, they found that this seemed to be the beginning.

Directly in front of the platform is a sky bridge.

After a few meters, you can step on the long bridge, but the left and right sides of the bridge are empty and there are strange creatures floating around, like ghosts, walking back and forth.

On the other side of the bridge, is an island?
Floating in the air without knowing what lies beyond the island.

They had to cross the bridge to know what was on the island and what was beyond it.

One day at a time, he walked to the edge of the platform, glanced down, and then swallowed his saliva and quickly retreated. This might be a bit dangerous.

Below, there is an abyss waiting for them.
