Chapter 592 The First Generation Machine
The light of the magic circle went out. At the same time, the eyes of the majestic and stunning battle puppet in the center of the stone chamber also burst out with two blue lights. It shook its arms and hung up. The two giant swords underneath the back slid down and fell steadily into its broad palms.
But after that, the battle puppet, which was dual-wielding giant swords and looked like an incarnated demon god, did not kill the two of them immediately. Not only that, but the aura on its body that was like a wild beast that chose people and devoured them was also stronger than before. Weakened a lot.
Mo Tan, who was concentrating on keeping vigilant, heard a system prompt and quickly opened his taskbar...
[Passed the test of the Dragon King 3/5; reached the end of the tomb. Deep 0/1 (Note: There is a huge gap between this link and your current strength. Please act with caution. It is recommended to significantly upgrade your level, equipment, and combat specialization before trying again.)]
"That's it."
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and put away the long sword in his hand, which surprised Ji Xiaoge who was still nervous and alert next to him. different.
However, out of trust in the former, the tense girl subconsciously relaxed, turned to Mo Tan and asked: "What's going on?"
"The system prompted me just now Another test was completed, and the progress became 3/5."
Mo Tan didn't give in, and immediately explained his thoughts to Ji Xiaoge: "I still remember that I just came out of that illusion. When I left? The image No. 16 left by the Bosh Dragon King said that I passed the first test, but the actual mission progress was 0/5."
Ji Xiaoge would naturally not forget what happened just a few hours ago, and immediately nodded and said: "Remember, didn't you mention it to me then? What's the matter?"
"That's it. Thing, when we passed the knowledge and appearance test just now, my task progress was updated in real time. After finishing the paper, it became 1/5. After you blew up the mirror, it became 2/5. And just now, After we temporarily shut down this magic circle that only leads to the treasury for the first time, the mission progress was updated again."
Mo Tan tilted his chin and looked at Ji, who was looking at the battle puppet from afar with squinted eyes. Xiaoge said: "So I came to a somewhat hindsight guess, that is, the first test set by Bosh includes a total of three components, and all must be completed to be considered passed. Now it seems that they should be character. , will and courage, the first two are what I experienced first. As for courage, it was our decision to activate the test just now.”
“Huh? Is it true?”
Ji. Xiao Ge has a very good understanding ability, so he immediately understood what Mo Tan wanted to express, but he still felt a little unbelievable. He hesitated and said: "But this is too imprecise. The character and will in front of him are not bad. I also think his design is pretty good, but courage...is this...a bit too far-fetched?"
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said softly: "You are right. After all, there were too many variables in the link just now, and the arrangement was not very rigorous. However, if you think about it from another angle, it may not be unreasonable."
< br>"What angle?"
This time Ji Xiaoge failed to follow the train of thought.
"Bosh's physical condition."
Mo Tan sighed, spread his hands and said: "Do you still remember the first image we saw? Although it was only recorded It was a ghost image, but Bosh felt very healthy at the time. At least the two of us couldn’t see any problems, but the image behind it was..."
"It's becoming more and more obvious. Not to mention the final flashback, when he appeared for the second to last time, it seemed as if he might rush to the street at any time."
Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and said thoughtfully: " So what you're saying is that Bosh's health is deteriorating more than his Is it so serious that you have no time to pay attention to the details when setting up the final test? "
"It's just a guess."
Mo Tan did not give a definite conclusion. He just calmly analyzed: "But this The possibility of guessing is not low. The test just now was probably related to courage, which gave people the feeling that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one. "
Ji Xiaoge dumped it. Swinging her ankle-length, dazzling hair, she suddenly Ran Zhanyan smiled: "Whatever, I think your guess is quite reliable anyway, and no matter what, that thing didn't rush up to kill us immediately, and the magic circle at the door can be restarted at any time, so to speak This is the best result.”
"Also, maybe it's just my illusion, the sense of oppression exuded by that 'battle puppet' seems to be much less than before."
Mo Tan also imitated Ji Xiaoge and squinted his eyes, looking carefully. Looking carefully at the man-made object not far away that was obviously turned on, he said uncertainly: "And if my judgment just now is correct, then after passing the test of courage, that combat puppet not only suppressed the strength, but even It's possible that he won't kill the person being tested, but simply prevents us from passing through the door behind it. You step back and I'll go up and give it a try."
"Wow, are you serious? ?”
“Seriously, but I’m not sure at all.”
“Hey...”
Ji Xiaoge raised his eyes and stared at Mo Tan.
"After all, it's just a guess. We don't have many choices anyway, and you also care about the voice just now, right?" Mo Tan smiled, held the Mandala of Justice again, and carefully said to He walked forward and said calmly: "If you want to find out what's going on, you have to test it no matter what."
"Hey! You..."
Ji Xiaoge wrinkled He frowned, but in the end he didn't run up to stop Mo Tan. He just silently took out the Catalin Valkyrie from his bag, filled the rice grains, knelt on the ground and steadily aimed at the battle puppet.
One step, two steps...
Mo Tan stared at the puppet and moved with difficulty. His heart was getting colder and colder, because the closer he got to this thing, the greater the pressure he felt. He had every reason to believe that if it weren't for the two The person has just passed what may be a test of courage, and the pressure of the thing in front of him is enough to clear his physical fitness level to zero on this journey.
Twenty-five meters...twenty meters...fifteen meters...
Mo Tan walked vigilantly in this extraordinarily wide stone room, his forehead and palms covered with sweat. , but the increasingly terrifying battle puppet in front of him remained motionless.
【Is it broken? 】
The current personality of Mo Tan also has this kind of luck mentality, but he just doesn't rely on it.
Thirteen meters...twelve meters...eleven meters...
"Ah!!"
Ji Xiaoge in the distance suddenly exclaimed and said loudly: "Be careful. ! It doesn’t..."
Boom——
The huge dark red sword gently rested on Mo Tan’s left shoulder, and the battle puppet that seemed to be on standby just now suddenly turned into a monster. It appeared behind Mo Tan across a distance of ten meters, and was completely out of sight of the two people before appearing. It was not until the ferocious-looking weapon in its hand was placed on the side of Mo Tan's neck that it revealed its figure.
"See you..."
Ji Xiaoge finished what she just said in a daze, her whole body was frozen, but she still wisely did not choose to shoot indiscriminately, because looking at the fighting puppet It didn't seem to want to kill Mo Tan. In fact, if it really had murderous intentions, Mo Tan would definitely lose its head faster than Ji Xiaoge's reaction speed.
"Don't panic! I must have guessed it right! It didn't intend to kill me!"
Mo Tan also pulled his neck and shouted for the first time, and then stepped back stiffly He took a step forward and let the huge sword blade leave the side of his neck. The battle puppet did not react, but the two pairs of blue eyes were staring at Mo Tan.
Mo Tan took another step back...two steps...three steps...then he paused and quickly jumped towards the stone door on the left front——
[Crazy Rush]!
Bang! ! !
Before Ji Xiaoge could see clearly what was going on, he felt his eyes blurred. When he came back to his senses, Mo Tan smashed down from mid-air in embarrassment and rolled all the way to himself driven by inertia. At feet.
But the battle puppet returned to the place where it stood before at some point, its sword edge lowered and motionless.
"Well, how do you feel now? Are you okay?"
Ji Xiaoge quickly threw Catlin aside and hurriedly helped Mo Tan up.
"In an instant, three punches and one kick knocked out 40% of my health. I feel a little bad, but it's nothing wrong."
Mo Tan instilled in himself He bought a bottle of healing potion, clutched his sore chest and said with lingering fear: " Obviously it really doesn't want to kill the person being tested, at least...well, it will leave room for it if it can prevent the other party from approaching the stone door."
Ji Xiaoge nodded: "What do you think? Is there any hope for us to make it through? ”
Mo Tan leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths, then shook his head with a really ugly look on his face: "There's no hope... the gap is too big."
"Well, just rest first. , I’ll go take a look.”
Ji Xiaoge was not very upset after hearing Mo Tan’s conclusion. Instead, after patting the latter’s shoulder, he suddenly fluttered his wings and flew straight to that place. The battle puppet who had just beaten Mo Tan.
"What are you doing!"
Mo Tan was shocked at that time, and immediately shouted: "Come back quickly, you can't beat it!"
"You don't have to say it."
Ji Xiaoge said without looking back, followed by an emergency stop in the air, but it stopped steadily ten meters away from the battle puppet. He happened to be stuck at the limit distance where the other party did not make a move when Mo Tan approached. He smiled and said: "I just want to take a good look at this thing."
Mo Tan was puzzled and asked hurriedly: "What are you looking at?"
“Don’t interrupt, I haven’t seen it yet.”
Ji Xiaoge waved his little hand, wandered around in the air for a long time, and finally fell back to the ground and stared. His eyes looked hard at the battle puppet in front of him, as if he was trying to concentrate as much as possible.
Mo Tan was also very obedient and did not interrupt again. After taking a breath, he quickly felt Ji Xiaoge's side, holding his sword at her side to keep watch.
He knew that this girl would never do anything meaningless at such a critical moment. Combined with Ji Xiaoge's previous remarks that this thing looked familiar, he had already made some assumptions in his mind. But what concerned him even more was that this majestic puppet, which made him feel suffocated just by being close to it, had no effect on Ji Xiaoge.
【Is it some kind of immunity effect? 】
Mo Tan began to think while guarding Ji Xiaoge vigilantly.
But this time he thought too much. The reason why Ji Xiaoge was not affected by this puppet was actually very simple. It was simply because the girl's absolute strength was too weak.
It is the same as fighting against those fortified martial arts masters in novels. People with a certain level can see the extraordinaryness of a peerless master at a glance, and may even be frightened to the point of being unable to move by a look from the opponent. However, those selling skewers on the street may not be able to move. You can feel how powerful the martial arts leader and evil demon lord who is passing by the Da Ya Festival is.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, simple realm is not enough.
Although Ji Xiaoge is not a calf, his level of strength is not to mention the 'Mo' in front of him. Even the 'Hei Fan' who does not do his job all day long and is a priest has not replenished his blood a few times. They are all inferior, so naturally they don't feel any pressure.
It was precisely because of this that she was able to calm down and observe the familiar thing in front of her.
Time flies by, five minutes later...
"Ah! Sure enough! I know what this is!!"
Ji Xiaoge suddenly exclaimed, startling Mo Tan, who was nervous next to him.
“What is it?”
After Mo Tan finished dancing, he immediately asked, “Have you really seen this thing?”
Ji Xiaoge smiled, He waved his scissor hands playfully: "I haven't seen it before, but I saw the drawing of this thing when I was helping the teacher organize things. However, because I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and the Dragon King seemed to have equipped it with a complete outfit. I didn’t see it at first.”
"Oh?"
Seeing the girl so confident, Mo Tan also looked happy: "So you have already thought of a way?"
"Well, maybe, actually I am not too "I'm sure."
Ji Xiaoge shrugged and then looked at it. Sedao: "This thing is not a battle puppet. Although it has similar uses, its official name should be called [First Generation Rune Body V9.78]. It is the work of Teacher Lu Wei."
"First Generation Rune Body ...Master Lu Wei’s work!”
Mo Tan was startled again. He was too familiar with the term rune body. For no other reason than Cordoba's body was strictly a rune body, and his consciousness as a player was also part of the rune body. , it can be regarded as a detachable plug-in. By the way, those kobold bodies made by Lu Wei from scrap materials can also be regarded as rune bodies, whether they are with @@ or without @@.
“Yes, it is the first-generation rune body, and it is the final version that has undergone nine large-scale upgrades and optimizations.”
Ji Xiaoge, who had completely recalled the relevant information, nodded vigorously, He explained very seriously: "The combat effectiveness is very strong, the energy supply system is excellent, it comes with a free element absorption matrix and three sets of talisman energy converters, and the battery life is also very impressive. It is also equipped with fifteen spell-casting modules. Even if there is no installation of any The auxiliary plug-in can also reach an epic level in terms of factory strength, and it is a double epic of spell casting and melee combat. It can be called the teacher's pinnacle work. As for the latest model of Cordoba, compared with this first-generation machine, in addition to Except for the energy storage system, which is the same model, everything else is..."
"How about other aspects..."
"They are all weak."
"..."
