Chapter 409 Ground Operations
"I feel very bad here." Miridi gasped slightly and looked around, her chest rising and falling.Her lungs, eroded by the power of darkness, often cause her to suffer from asthma. "There is no sign of life at all. It reminds me of the world that was destroyed by plants."

It was indeed a bit like, the surroundings were strangely silent, with no sign of living creatures, as if this place had been forgotten by the whole world, this feeling was very uncomfortable, especially for Mility.Necromancers are very sensitive to life energy, and they are used to the feeling of being surrounded by life energy all the time. Even if there are no people or large animals, the nearby mosquitoes will emit life energy, showing their existence.However, there is nothing here, making it difficult for the Necromancer to adapt.

"At least there is no raging hostility here." Xiu Er said with a wry smile, "It won't make my brain tingle, maybe this is the only good thing."

"It's better to be hostile." Mia sneered, "If you are hostile, you can at least make a judgment. Now, people are not mentally prepared at all."

No wonder Mia was struggling. The shadow chasers had already stepped off the guide rail elevator and stood on a piece of lawn under the Sky City. The lawn was soft and lush, and it was soft and comfortable to step on. The idea of ​​lying on it and stretching the body, unfortunately, no one is in the mood to do so now, everyone tenses up and stares at the surroundings vigilantly.

Because as soon as they stepped out of the guide rail elevator and before they had time to take any action, hundreds of mechanical spiders sprang out from the dense bushes in the distance and circled around the landing point of the guide rail elevator. Fortunately, the spiders above The operator was very familiar with the behavior patterns of the mechanical beasts. He raised the elevator immediately, otherwise a few of them might get trapped in it.

The shadow chasers protected Delia, who had already disappeared, and allowed the mechanical beasts to wander around. These mechanical beasts turned a blind eye to them, seeming to regard them as the same kind, and circled around them. .The problem is that no one dares to act rashly now. They are worried that moving will cause them to be alert, but it is not an option if they continue like this. Sooner or later, they will have to act.

"I said that deer over there, have you had enough fun?" Facing the mechanical spider crawling around, Xiuer suddenly sighed deeply and felt that the blood vessels in his forehead were beating violently, because when he saw it, On one side of the team, Moria had transformed into a pure tree form, with several branches posing as if holding up her skirt, and four thickened tree roots supporting her body. She happily danced in circles in front of the mechanical spider. dance.

"Eh? Didn't you say to act according to the plan?" Moria's face, which was originally growing on the front trunk, suddenly appeared from the 180-degree rear very curiously, and said innocently, "I am following orders. , where are you playing?"

Indeed, the situation in front of them did not exceed the expectations of the Shadow Chasers, and everyone had already made a plan to deal with it. Moria, who was in plant form, would first test the mechanical beasts to see if they would attack moving plants. Although Theoretically not, otherwise the surrounding plants would have been destroyed long ago, but just in case, it's better to test it.

If the test is successful, Moback, who has the highest defense and is most likely to be mistaken for wearing a personal armor, will conduct a second round of tests and let him try to move normally to determine the attitude of the mechanical beasts towards them.

From a certain point of view, the plan went perfectly. Moria successfully tested the attitude of the mechanical beasts towards plants. Well, in other words, the success was a bit too much, and the method she used was too easy. People were frightened.

"I feel that compared to when we first met, my tolerance has grown by leaps and bounds. Well, it's almost as big as a technological revolution." Shuer took a deep breath and waved directly without waiting for Moback to try again. Waving his hands, "You'd better change back. At least the visual effect will be normal."

Well, Xiu Er is not seeking to make her behavior more normal. If Lin Jing can be normal, it is estimated that the end of the world will not be far away.Hey, it's not far away, does that mean Moria has a chance to become normal?However, taking a look at Lin Jing who had turned into a deer and was studying how to smash mechanical beasts with acorns, Xiuer still gave up this unrealistic hope.

This guy actually cooperates with Xiure very well. He does everything Xiuer wants to do but hasn't given the order yet, such as hitting the mechanical beast with an acorn, just to test whether the mechanical beast will be caused by physical contact between the two parties. Alert, it must be admitted that it is indeed quite comfortable to cooperate with such a person. The problem is, it would be better if he were not so curious.

"It seems that everything is as we speculated, and our behavior can be rationalized in their observations." Shuer threw these strange worries aside and said seriously, "Although it is not ruled out that they deliberately pretended to ignore us and induced us It is possible to attack deep into the hinterland, but the probability is not high, so we can be sure of safety for the time being."

"Then, everyone moves as planned. Be careful to protect Delia and ensure that she does not come into direct contact with the mechanical beast. If necessary, you can block her with your body."

This is not only a problem that direct contact will cause the invisibility to fail. The main reason is that Delia is not protected by the integration effect of the sacred power. Once a collision occurs, the other party cannot observe the collision target, and it is very likely that someone is invisibly breaking in. Although I have long been mentally prepared to compete head-on with the mechanical camp, but the time for a head-on battle should come as late as possible.

"Start moving."

After giving the order, the Shadow Chasers began to move towards the distant tower. Delia felt at ease as she walked because Xiuer always held her hand. Whenever there was a mechanical beast blocking the way in front of him, Xiuer would hold her hand. She avoided it in advance, and the shadow chasers would also assist her. When she needed to speed up to pass somewhere, the female swordsman on the other side would even directly pick her up to let her feel the strong wind blowing against her face.

Walking on the lawn with a low body, skillfully avoiding the mechanical spiders crawling around, the surrounding mechanical spiders became more and more sparse, and the grass became higher and higher. After a while, the grass was gone. If the shadow chasers of the body look down from a high altitude, they can only see eight waves breaking through the sea of ​​weeds and heading straight towards the city in the distance.

"Moria, help."

"Eh? You want to use me as a mount again, and you have to watch others ride me with your own eyes. Your taste is really unique." Moria said nonsensical nonsense, but her movements were not slow at all. With a little force, he threw Delia onto his back, causing the waves in the grass to turn into seven.

"Pay attention to the bushes, don't let Delia get scratched." Shuer did not remind the Shadow Chasers themselves, because the mere bushes could not pierce the skin of the Shadow Chasers, but their clothes would inevitably be damaged. "Moback, don't use it." Use weapons to chop, and be careful about the mechanical beasts hidden in the bushes. Although a slight collision is okay, the attack is too heavy, and the effect of the sacred power may not be able to cover it up." "O'Fregan, but these bushes are really annoying. "Mobak complained loudly, "They keep slapping my face. Damn it, you bastard plants. Are the faces of dwarves worthy of being touched by low-level creatures like you?"

"Huh? Bastard plants? Low-level creatures?"

"Mia, tell him to shut up, Moria, don't mess around." Shuer rolled his eyes angrily, "Makajelen, what's the situation ahead?"

"The jungle area is still about three kilometers away, but it becomes sparse as we go forward. After passing through the jungle, we reach the city limits. It is just a ruin of the city. The buildings that are still in operation are still eight kilometers away from us."

"Saph."

"There are many mechanical beasts around." The female swordsman who silently protected the two mages immediately responded, "But there are no signs of movement."

"Huh? Can you tell the difference between still ones?"

"Yes, although they are not moving, there is a faint buzzing sound inside them. I suspect that as long as the mechanical beasts are alive, they will make this sound."

"Very good." Xiu Er nodded and said, "Monitor the changes at any time."

"clear."

"Boss, turn." Macajerun suddenly issued a warning, "There are strange mechanical beasts ahead. They are buried underground and only the top is exposed. It is easy to step on them if you pass in a straight line. There are other mechanical beasts patrolling around."

"Will other mechanical beasts ever step on them?" Shuer asked.

"meeting."

"Then keep the original route, don't dodge, step directly over, and be careful to step lightly." Shuer said without thinking, "Just treat it as another test."

The shadow chasers who kept walking soon saw the mechanical beast described by Macajerun. It was a strange puppet with a diameter of half a meter. It was buried motionless in the soil, and it was impossible to see what their function was.

"Yo yo yo, I see it, it's a bunker." After stepping on the top of the machine continuously, the shadow chasers never alerted the mechanical beasts. However, the Lin Jing with the best eyesight suddenly shouted in surprise, "Look to the right, ten Five degrees.”

There are several identical mechanical beasts there, but one side has been tilted up, and two dark gun barrels are exposed from below the metal plane at the top. The target is facing the direction of the Sky City, and it is obviously on high alert.

"Pass through quickly and don't pass by the front of the bunker." Shuer kept walking and emphasized, "Especially Moria, don't let Delia behind you pass in front of the bunker. I'm worried that they have special means of detecting enemies."

"I know." Lin Jing can be very happy about this kind of thing, and I don't know what she is happy about.

"Stop." However, not long after leaving the bunker array, Shuuer suddenly raised his hand and issued an order. The Shadow Chasers seemed to have already discussed it, and within two seconds, they stopped almost simultaneously.

"There's something wrong with the ground." Shuer squatted down and groped lightly on the ground, "This should be within the limits of the city."
