Chapter 1623 Seven-legged walking treadmill
Golems are good helpers for mages. They usually handle tasks that require physical strength. They can also be used as human shields during battles.
But it's very tricky when golems are the enemy.
The main reason is that the double defense of constructs such as golems is too high, and they are also immune to many spell effects. Even a golem of only level 30 will feel invincible if Aldai, who is over 40, deals with it. Very tricky.
However, although these giant metal hornets are constructs like the golems, they are not as difficult to deal with as the golems.
This is mainly due to insufficient body size.
The strength of a construct can be judged very simply and crudely by its size. If it is big, it is good, and if it is small, it will definitely be weak.
In order to fly and move sensitively, the giant metal hornets' own defense cannot be compared with the three-meter-tall iron golem. The body structure that is very similar to the giant hornets also allows their armor plates to have many joints that must be movable. These places All are weaknesses.
The only thing you have to be careful about is the needles on the tails of these guys, which are long enough for your forearm. If you get pricked by them, it's no joke.
Apart from that, these guys didn't have much fighting power. In less than two minutes, six giant metal hornets were wiped out and turned into parts.
Aldai lowered his head and fiddled with the leg structure of these giant metal wasps and judged:
"These things should not be combat structures, more like handymen."
I didn't notice it just now, but if you look carefully now, you will find that the six legs of the giant metal wasp are actually made into tools, such as pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.
Neemia asked a little worriedly:
"Could he also be a guard? We have been discovered?"
"It's possible, but if I want to know what function it has, I need to dismantle the alchemy core and examine it carefully. I don't have the time now."
"In that case, let's leave quickly."
Zola suggested:
"Staying here may attract more constructs."
Aldai actually wanted to take out the core and take a look, but she really didn't have that much time.
I could only stand up and look for an exit first with some regret.
And just as Aldai stood up, there was suddenly a violent shaking on the soles of her feet.
It wasn't like an earthquake, but more like something particularly heavy was approaching.
——This is worse than an earthquake!
Almost at the same time, Zola reflexively held the Holy Emblem on his chest and said immediately:
"Your Majesty warned me that something huge is approaching."
Nemea, who was lying on the ground listening to the source of the sound, immediately jumped up:
"On our left!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a huge shadow staggering out of the cave on the left. The sound did not sound like walking on two legs, but more like many feet stepping on the ground continuously.
Immediately afterwards, this behemoth walked out of the darkness of the cave and appeared completely in front of the three people.
It was a strange mechanical creation, about ten meters high, with a disc-shaped structure about five or six meters in diameter at the top. Three spherical brass turrets could be seen on the disc.
Underneath the disc are seven legs that are reminiscent of an excavator’s robotic arm.
At the same time as it appeared, the turrets on the disc began to rotate and adjust their posture. Two of the turrets were aimed at the three people.
"Spread out!"
The three of them immediately separated and ran in different directions. The next moment they heard the sizzling sound of electricity, and the two turrets aimed at them fired a crackling lightning arrow.
Because it dispersed in advance, the lightning bolt did not hit anyone, but it exploded with dense electric sparks immediately after it landed, and the stone floor was burned with a large radioactive scorch mark.
As I said just now, the strength of a construct is linked to its size. Now, here comes a ten-meter-level one.
–‐‐——–‐‐“Why!”
Looking at the seven-legged walking fort on the screen, Li Chengqi said, I don’t understand!
Even though the turret fires lightning bolts, and even though the shape of the turret is different, this thing looks like a variant of Alyssa's four-legged walking turret.
Could it be said that the people occupying the magpie's nest here are people from the Glow Ion Monastery?
This is wrong.
I ran into it last time when I was looking for the Demon King's Ring. Although it was outrageous, it was understandable.
After all, the Glowing Ion Monastery is technically Li Chengqi's church. It makes sense that they are looking for the Demon King's Ring.
But the family secret room of the Subiya Royal Family has a hammer relationship with these guys. Could it be that the Subiya Royal Family actually has a Demon King's Ring in their collection?
This doesn't seem to make sense. If this thing really existed, they should have taken it out to negotiate terms with Viola. What's more, if they really had a Ring of the Demon King, the Seven Apostles should have taken action long ago.
Avarus was almost destroyed before because Viola's father tried to call the Demon King back through the Demon King's Ring.
The Seven Apostles didn't know that Avarus had the Ring of the Demon King before, because the ring was always in a sealed state, and usually hung around the neck like an iron knot. It was really hard to tell that it was a ring.
It seems that no matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.
So Li Chengqi turned around and asked Tarona, who was playing ranked games on the sofa:
"There are seven turrets with mechanical legs and automatic attacks. Is this very common?"
"Not common, but not rare either. What's wrong?"
"Huh? Isn't this rare?"
"Yes, they are usually constructed creatures created by alchemists for use as defense in research institutes. They are not everywhere, but if you look carefully, you can see similar things in many planes. ”
To put it this way, Li Chengqi may be a little nervous.
It's right to think about it carefully. For example, the golem that always follows Shanafia is stupid. That thing is essentially the same as the golem on Viola's side, but the degree of intelligence is different.
If the images are close, it can only mean that the optimal solutions are similar, but it does not mean that there is definitely a connection.
At this time Talona came over and asked:
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"
She couldn't see what Li Chengqi saw on the screen, so Li Chengqi had to explain a few words.
"Since it was found underground, the maker is most likely a dwarf or a halfling. They like to make this kind of thing."
Although dwarves are also an underground race, dwarves rarely have mages. Although the other underground race, dark elves, have many mages, there are no dark elves in the demon realm, and secondly, the aesthetics of dark elves cannot be so rough.
"Large structures generally have weak points in their legs and turrets, and their movements are relatively slow. This is a common problem with all structures. As long as your followers are not too weak, you shouldn't need to worry too much."
Indeed, as Talona said, Li Chengqi saw Aldai and the others on the screen and had already begun to think of ways to fight back.
"By the way, you seem to know constructs very well."
"The more you get beaten, the more you will understand."
