Chapter 2731 Mechanical Mystery City
Everything around seems to be without any damage or change, but the injuries left on Heiting and the others are indeed real. In the previous battle, Zana's last two Anpur puppets were destroyed when the blue and black water poured in. At this time, there were only two scorched dregs left on the ground that could barely make out human shapes.
“What kind of poison is this, so ferocious?”
“It should be some kind of toxin change that already exists here. They have mastered this change and put it into practical use.” Yuko said : "How are you doing?"
"I...I'm not good...Master." Poirot was sweating violently. He had dozens of round scars on his body due to poor protection.
In fact, this poisonous burn cannot be called a scar. It is more like it immersed under the skin and eroded the flesh, causing extremely extreme pain. No one who suffered this injury looked normal. Cologne and Heiting were slightly injured because of their thick armor and mechanical limbs.
Yuko treated them with 'Purifying Water', and then used 'Physiotherapy Array' and 'Misty Rain Cleansing Body' for the second and third treatments. The effect was somewhat, but not obvious.
Xiao'er said: "There are no signs of the poison spreading and harming it for the time being. The analgesic injection can also work. It's not that painful now."
"Let's rest here for a while." Yuko said: "But time waits for no one, we have to hurry up."
Everyone also knows that time is tight. The period of poisoning must be the time when the arsenal's external defenses are weakest. After this time, we don't know what will happen. .
After replenishing food and energy, drinking water, and taking medicine to enhance physical recovery and magic regeneration, after treating the injuries again, and making sure that everyone was still able to move, we continued further.
Open the stone door on the ground, and you will see a metal staircase going vertically downwards. After going a hundred or ten meters deep, you will reach a dark room. There was nothing in the darkroom, just two non-humanoid puppets and a door. Zana checked carefully to make sure that the two puppets would not attack, then turned their bases and the door opened.
This is a small door for one person to enter and exit. The front of the door is even stained with rust. Outside the door is an iron room, which is also full of rust and dusty objects that have been stored for a long time.
“Is this the inside of the Three-Headed Dragon Arsenal?” Poirot asked curiously, enduring the pain.
Yuko made a silent gesture to him. This was an iron house with two rooms. There was a door frame between the rooms, but there was no door. The room next door was slightly larger, with a door to the outside. The two large iron doors slid open and looked like they had not been used for a long time.
Xiaoer leaned inside the big iron door and listened for a while, shaking his head to show that there was no movement outside.
Zana went over and listened for a while to make sure there was no one, then asked Colon to come up and slowly push the door open.
As soon as the door opened, a very pungent smell rushed up to the brain. In fact, it was also present in the room when the door was not opened, but it was not as strong. Heiting briefly tested it with magic and found that there was no toxin reaction from poisonous elements, but he could not guarantee that the smell was really non-poisonous.
Yuko and Heiting looked at their surroundings at the door. There was a long and complicated passage with the sound of high-heat steam spraying. The ground was made of concrete and steel mesh. There were rooms made of metal and steel everywhere. and machinery, but no one was seen. Yuko hooked up and returned to the room and said: "Our tasks are mainly two, to find out the whereabouts of the Prophet Bird, steal it, and then destroy this place. In addition, there must be other unknown things hidden here. The most important thing is not necessarily the prophet bird. Although it is not good to do something other than the task, it does arouse a lot of curiosity in my heart. ”
Xiaoer said: "Based on the current situation, the door lock here should not be opened, but there will definitely be different designs in important places."
Heiting said: "I served in the military for a long time , spent some time at the Bop Defense Line. The commander there said that the outside of the Bop Defense Line can withstand tens of millions of dragon flames, and the internal structure can also withstand tens of millions of dragon flames. This arsenal dares to be built in this place. It is definitely not easy to destroy such a place in the crater. You have to find it. Destroy at key locations, otherwise it will be just aimless destruction, and it is difficult to cause real fatal damage. Moreover, there will definitely be isolation and defense measures similar to those inside the city. Once triggered, I am afraid that you will encounter something worse than the three-headed dragon checkpoint. A dangerous situation.”
Yuko nodded: “Let’s all have a clear idea of the situation first.”
Opening the door again, because he had no idea of the direction, he had no choice but to do so. Just choose any direction to go. It's hot and humid here, the air smells bad, and the mechanical structures and huge pipelines are very confusing. What are these used for? Are they used to maintain the normal operation of the arsenal? Or the equipment needed to connect the gas pressurized chamber to the supporting isolation layer? In order to build an arsenal, is it too expensive to go through a lot of trouble to build these? Wouldn't it be better to save these costs and troubles by choosing to build somewhere else?
The seven people all had doubts in their hearts. It was obvious that there was a necessary reason for building it here, but what the reason was was really difficult to guess.
A group of metal pipes more than 20 meters above the head exudes high heat. Walking in this unbearable and empty passage, you can hear nothing but the sound of hissing. Xiaoer saw a dusty sign hanging on the crossroads in front of him. There were no words on it, only graphics and arrows indicating where to go in each direction.
Looking at the graphics, one side is the repair area, and the other side is the puppet placement area. Behind them is the isolation rest area, and there are graphics on the other side that I can't understand.
Zana pointed to the repair area, intending to go there first and take a look. Maybe he could figure out what's going on here. After all, that kind of place is the easiest to leave clues about the situation, and maybe he can get a map.
A few people had not taken a few steps when a rumbling sound of metal wheels came from the front. Needless to say, the patrol puppets here must have passed by. They found a nearby set of pipes that did not emit high heat and hid them in the gaps. Through the gap, I saw a puppet more than ten meters high sliding on metal wheels and passing by using the metal lines on the ground as a track. This thing is very similar to the puppet Yuko and Xiaoer saw in the small town, but it is smaller and uses orbital wheels for movement. There are a pair of copper-colored puppets on the front and back of this puppet, and on each top and bottom, holding the pipeline and sliding and moving. Only then did a few people notice that there were metal slide rails between the pipe lines above their heads.
After several twists and turns, they passed several signboards and arrived at the repair area. Although they were very careful, a few puppets hiding in the dark discovered them. These puppets blended in with the pipelines, and even the dust and dirt on their bodies blended in perfectly. Because they were machines, they made no sound, and not even Yuko noticed their existence.
A total of six puppets fell from the top of the head. They were like floating coffins, emitting red evil light, activating the fire elements in the air, and condensed into flaming alien magical creatures. These magical creatures with the element of fire are extremely violent. As soon as they appear, a large number of flame novae pour out. The flames impact like waves, hitting the body, the ground and the metal mechanical walls, causing flame explosions. These two balls of fire may not It was astonishing, but countless flames collided with each other and piled up to produce a series of explosions. The high walls formed by the mechanical pipes and the rooms and equipment were immediately filled with flames and overflowed.
"Wind Cutting Grip." Zana cast a spell in the incoming flames. As he opened his arms, the staff released wind pressure, like an invisible huge net bag, catching the rapidly expanding flame net. Hold and compress inwards.
Colon praised: "A good method." But just after he finished his praise, the power of the expanding flames obviously exceeded Zana's magic power. His wind-cutting grip compressed a short distance inward, and soon he could no longer suppress it. bounce outward. At this time, Zana felt another magic power merge into his magic. The flames that were expanding in all directions, gaps, and passages were rapidly compressed, and instantly turned into a magic sphere several meters in size, filled with wind and fire. Inside the sphere, all kinds of flame magic creatures were huddled together, unable to disintegrate and break into pieces, turning into a chaotic fireball in the blink of an eye.
Seizing this opportunity, Hei Ting, Xiao'er and others quickly rushed up to more than ten meters in the air, using their unique skills to dismantle the six puppet mechanisms into pieces. The magic ball filled with wind and fire also broke under the pressure of Zana's staff. The chaotic fire sputtered in all directions like juice splashing out from between the fingers, and then disappeared.
