Chapter 76 Unexpected Discovery (Eleven books will be on the shelves tomorrow)
Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai and others set out from the camp to investigate the slums.
The road to the slums is very difficult. After all, this was originally a slum. Just imagine what it will be like - low-rise houses emerge in endlessly, without any compliance with building regulations. All the houses are compact. They were squeezed together, leaving only a gap in the road wide for one person. It was no different from an overcrowded tram carriage during work hours.
Moving forward in a place like this is obviously not an easy task.
This is also the reason why General Pastor did not include the slums in the scope of the strategy. The radiation here was enough to cause a headache, not to mention the stacked houses, which became the biggest obstacle.
"This is not an easy thing. What are you going to do?"
Pastor stood next to Duanmuhuai, frowning and looking at the slum area not far away. To be honest, just seeing this maze-like slum area gave him a headache.
"It's simple."
Duanmuhuai answered, and then he opened the communication channel.
"Mia."
"Here~~Master, what are your orders?"
"Carry out a carpet-type saturation bombing on the location I marked for you, and blow it up to the ground."
"Understood~~~"
Mia's voice was still somewhat relaxed and leisurely. It seemed that the doll introduced herself as a household robot from Sky City Amusement Park. Perhaps her tone was set like this.
After giving the order, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer.
"What are you doing?"
Looking at Duanmuhuai's actions, General Pastor looked at him doubtfully, but the next moment, he heard a whistling sound falling from the sky.
"Whoosh——Boom!!!"
Then, there was an explosion.
Continuous explosions and flames instantly swallowed up the entire slum area, and the huge impact directly blew the low-rise houses into pieces.
Seeing this scene, General Pastor and the accompanying soldiers were stunned. Many of them even knelt down and put their heads on the ground, loudly praising Sigma's miracles. Even General Pastor was half-kneeling on the ground at the moment, with his right hand on his chest and staring at Duanmuhuai.
"Oh my god, he is really Sigma's chosen one! He is the spokesperson of Sigma!"
Duanmuhuai didn't care what these people were thinking. He just raised his warhammer to guide the bombing target while watching the system prompts.
[Chaos believers receive 100 points of bombing damage]
[Chaos believers receive 150 points of bombing damage]
【Chaos Cultist Death】
[䱱gets 15 experience points]
[Chaos disciples suffer 30 points of splash damage]
So, why go up against these people? Wouldn't it be okay if we just blow them up?
Looking at the combat system information flashing before his eyes, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm. This is also the player's privilege. After all, people in this world don't know who they are fighting. But for players, basically as long as they come to AOE once, it will be clear what kind of things are hidden here. Even if you can't beat it, you can at least know what's here.
But soon, he caught a special system prompt in it.
[Scouting Skaven suffers 50 points of explosion damage]
[Scouting Skaven suffers 85 points of impact damage]
[Detecting the Death of Ratmen...]
"Huh?"
Seeing these pieces of information, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
Are there even ratmen?
But considering that Skaven are as everywhere as cockroaches, it's not surprising.
In addition, Duanmuhuai also discovered some other strange things.
[The mutated gryphon receives 120 points of explosion damage]
[The mutated wild boar takes 90 points of impact damage]
[The mutated cockroach suffered 35 points of explosion damage]
This place really has everything...
Compared to ratmen and chaos believers, these mutated beasts are obviously more resistant to beatings. Some of them even lost the damage prompt after being beaten in the middle - they probably dug holes and ran away somewhere.
【Death of mutated gryphon】
[The Rat Man suffered 180 points of explosion damage]
[Mutant cockroach dies] [Chaos believer receives 75 points of splash damage]
[The reliquary takes 30 points of explosion damage]
…………………Um? ? ! !
"Stop, stop, stop!!!"
An abnormal system prompt flashed past Duanmu Huai's eyes. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai did not let go of this abnormal system prompt. He hurriedly put down his war hammer and asked Mia to stop bombing.
Soon, the bombing stopped, and Duanmu Huai looked at the system prompts in front of him in surprise, dumbfounded.
Reliquary?
Why is this thing here? !
The so-called reliquary is the property of the former Human Empire (note: not this stupid thing on this planet). It contains powerful sacred objects from different eras. There are even legacies from the Dark Ages and the Golden Age!
After the human empire was shattered and destroyed due to the Black Hole Project, these reliquaries were scattered and disappeared.
As a result, one was found here? !
Holy shit, this is good stuff! !
Originally, Duanmu Huai just wanted to go to the slums to see the situation, but now, this unexpected discovery made him change his reservation plan - first, he must get this relic box at all costs!
You know, the sacred objects contained in the relic box are all kinds of strange and diverse. Except for a small number of symbolic holy objects, all other holy objects without exception possess cosmic-level terrifying power. If this thing is taken away by Chaos believers or ratmen or other messy things, then the threats facing this world will be no different from those in the end.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer, raised his head and looked forward, and issued an order.
"Let's go!!"
After being bombed, the road in the entire slum area became much easier to walk. The low and dilapidated houses that originally hindered progress have been flattened by the bombing. The potholes blend into one. As for the mutated creatures or Chaos believers that may have been hiding in the house, they have disappeared - only one or two incomplete, black-smoking remains can be seen occasionally, which can prove that they actually exist here.
"The Lord Knight is really powerful."
Following Duanmu Huai, looking at the slums in front of her that had been reduced to the ground, Lorena couldn't help but sigh. She knew something about Duanmu Huai. We also know that Duanmu Huai owns a very powerful iron bird that can fly in the air. But she didn't expect that the iron bird actually had such terrifying destructive capabilities.
"It's useful, but it's really annoying to consume."
Duanmuhuai shook his head. Ye Crow Black Star did not have much missile inventory. It seemed that he had to find another holy object to break it down, and then took out the Void Air Force Camp to manufacture and store weapons.
Although it would be a headache not to have a servitor, he might consider asking a few technicians in the doll area to help and order some more dolls...
Forget it, let’s get the reliquary first.
Fortunately, after discovering that the system displayed the information about the reliquary, Duanmuhuai immediately stopped bombarding him, which also allowed him to successfully narrow down the location of the reliquary to a certain area - that is, the slum area. The very center of , where the comet originally hit.
Well, that's not surprising, after all, the reliquary doesn't look like something that would exist on this planet.
Unfortunately, when Duanmuhuai arrived at his destination, he discovered that they were not the only ones here. In the center of the crater blown by the comet, a group of short guys were chattering around a crystal-like object. Light green crystals——Well, needless to say, only cockroach-like guys like rat men would appear on such occasions.
"Kill them!"
Duanmu Huai will never allow the rat people to obtain the relic box. No matter what is in it, it will be terrible if it falls into the hands of the rat people!
Duanmu Huai jumped up, and with the air jetted from the jetpack behind him, his whole body suddenly flew high into the air. Then Duanmu Huai raised his left hand and pointed it at the crowd of rats below. Then, fire broke out.
"Boom!!!"
A violent explosion suddenly erupted from the crowd of rats, and those rat people who were jumping and screaming around the crystal obviously did not realize this. When the explosion occurred, they did not even react to what happened. Soon, violent sound waves swept through the entire group of rats. They were swaying like drunkards, as if they didn't know what to do.
But Duanmuhuai, who fell from the sky, quickly gave the answer.
"Bang!!"
The huge warhammer tore through the air with a wonderful arc and hit a rat-man on the head hard, easily cracking its brain. However, the rat-man's thin body was also unable to withstand this violent blow. It was directly twisted and deformed under the violent impact, and then its body began to expand - and then exploded like explosives.
Duanmu Huai swung his hammer and immediately knocked down the rat man in front of him. At the same time, others also launched an offensive against the rat men.
"Ogis!"
Duanmuhuai swung his war hammer and smashed the rat men into the ground as much as possible. He looked at Ogis and gave orders loudly.
"Take away the green stone and the box inside! Quick!!"
As early as when he was close to the center of the explosion, Duanmu Huai discovered that the relic box was sealed in the dimensional stone crystal. He didn't know whether it was deliberately sealed on the ground or fell inside for some reason. Just now, a large piece of the dimensional stone crystal was exploded by the air strike, and a corner of the reliquary was also exposed. Perhaps this was the reason why the reliquary damage report was received before.
But the first thing Duanmu Huai needs to do now is to get the relic box. Fighting with these rats here will do no good at all.
"Yes! Master."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Ogis also hurriedly stretched out her hand, and saw a flash of cold light. The next moment, the silk threads in her hands were directly entangled with the huge dimensional stone crystal that was two or three meters high. Then Ogis pulled hard with both hands, and the piece of dimensional stone crystal was pulled out from the ground like a carrot.
However, almost at the same time, the ground suddenly began to churn, and then a huge rat troll emerged from the ground, roaring and pounced on Ogis.
Depend on! These rats really hide everything underground. If you can, hide a thunder beast!
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was furious. He roared and rushed directly towards the rat troll. Then, the two sides collided heavily.
"Boom!!"
The huge figure wearing steel power armor collided with the rat troll, causing even the ground to tremble. Even the Rat Troll couldn't resist the impact from the Inquisitor and fell backwards with a wailing sound. Then Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and hit it hard on the head!
"Bang!!"
However, just as Duanmuhuai's war hammer hit the rat troll's head, perhaps due to the previous bombing, the ground around him suddenly cracked, and then, Duanmuhuai and the rat troll fell down, Fell into a dark pit!
