Chapter 324 The pinnacle product of Tarun Mechanical Technology (please vote for me)
“Damn it, what the hell is this?”
“Be careful, there is another one that can become invisible!”< br>
“Don’t collide with that magic lightsaber. There is a high-level magic-breaking spell on the blade, and even a dark gold shield can’t stop it.”
“Cover His Highness, first. Go into the maze!”
"."
A dramatic scene is unfolding.
The group of people from the Southern Continent who had been fighting with the one-armed mummy just now were fleeing in confusion.
Even the seventh-level card master couldn’t hide the panic on his face at this moment.
While he was covering Prince Salo's escape, he was trying to find a way to block the mechanical armors behind him.
But the effect was minimal.
Old Fu’s profession is a Necromancer, and what he is best at is controlling the undead to fight.
And he has nurtured several high-level undead souls that are no less powerful than his own body during most of his life.
Normally, the number of enemies means nothing to him.
Even if he meets several people of the same level, he is still confident of handling them calmly.
It can even be said that he can deal with most threats below level eight.
This is also the most important reason why he became the companion of Prince Salo.
However, facing this mechanical monster that he had never seen before, the confidence in Lao Fu's heart was shattered.
The seventh-level [Brass Corpse Dragon] summoned behind him at this moment is the strongest defensive undead spirit that he has spent many years refining with various precious materials.
The iron bones of a mantra are indestructible, and a mouthful of strong acid dragon breath can easily melt gold fossils.
He once used this brass dragon to successfully escape from the mouth of an eighth-level monster.
However, the undead dragon that Old Fu relied on most seemed so pale and helpless when facing the mechanical monster that was more than ten meters high behind him.
“Keng!”
“Keng!”
“Keng!”
"."
What was chasing after him was a tall mechanical Titan.
It held a huge dark red lightsaber and slashed at the brass corpse dragon, causing sparks to fly.
Looking carefully, the bone dragon's dark gold skeleton, which can resist eighth-level physical attacks head-on, can cut off a dragon bone with just one slash, and can cut off a dragon bone with three or five swords.
Not only is the defense unable to take advantage, the Dragonborn Necromancer's strength advantage is not taken advantage of at all either.
He was beaten to the point of defeat.
Even if a mouthful of acid dragon breath is sprayed, the magic energy coating on the machine will only dim slightly, and it will return to its original state in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this made Old Fu feel distressed and horrified.
This is still the Brass Dragon with the strongest defense. If it were replaced by other fifth-level and sixth-level undead summons, it would basically be a sword without a sound.
Pushing through can only stop the mechanical titan from swinging his sword for a second.
Then it turned into two corpses with smooth cuts, stretched out on the spot.
These undead souls are all old Fu’s heirlooms, and his heart bleeds when he sees them.
But even so, he had to keep summoning undead to block it.
Because, these mechanical monsters are not only strong, but also fast.
There are not only this kind of mechanical warriors who are more than ten meters tall and holding magic swords, but also warlock machines that use magic cannons to attack from a distance. What is even more troublesome is the kind that can become invisible in the void like a ghost. Assassin series
These three mechanical armors are like a tactical team.
Not only are they extremely powerful individually, they also work very well together, killing people like chopping melons and vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, half of the team of nearly a hundred people in the Southern Continent was lost.
Those card masters who run slowly are almost killed one by one.
Even the various quicksand, mire, and vine techniques have very unsatisfactory effects.
Everyone knows that they can only rely on the complicated maze to see if they can survive.
While running, the scene in Ji Xun’s eyes suddenly stopped.
The last picture shared by Shadow is a ghost assassin with five mechanical eyes on his head, who kills Shadow with one knife.
"Can you sense energy fluctuations?"
Shadow was killed, Ji Xun murmured in his heart.
His mechanical skills are not bad, and he also sees some clues.
Shadow is an elemental body and can be accurately detected, which means that the mechanical assassin's perception can lock on energy fluctuations.
It can lock shadows, and of course it can also lock people.
It’s very troublesome
Seeing the three mechanical armors, Ji Xun’s expression instantly became serious.
Machines are "taboo" in the Southern Continent, so those who escaped only knew that the three machines were powerful, but they couldn't understand why they were so ridiculously powerful.
However, Ji Xun didn’t just know.
He also knew that this was the final product of the Taron royal family's top-secret "Titan Project".
At first, Ji Xun and Dong Qi experienced an extradimensional space called "1981 Titan Mechanical Research Institute".
That space is the ancient research institute that produces the core of mechanical energy.
There are some drawings of mecha designs inside.
So Ji Xun just saw that the appearance of the three mechanical armors was very familiar, and he immediately guessed the relationship between the two.
Thinking of this, he was filled with emotion: "The Talon Dynasty not only had a brilliant civilization of card masters, but also had mechanical technology that reached this level. How did such a powerful empire collapse?"
< br>The first time he saw this Titan machine appear, he also saw the word "no solution".
The meaning of machinery is "replicable".
Once the design drawings are mature and there are enough materials, assembly line manufacturing can theoretically be achieved.
One may not be a big problem for the card master.
What about a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand?
Now three Titan machines have driven the group of people from the southern continent to flee in a hurry. If there really are a few more, the eighth-level strong men will have to avoid their sharp edges.
If it were a reorganized army, no one could resist the power that Ji Xun currently recognized.
"Oh, the time is wrong."
As soon as Ji Xun's thoughts changed, he guessed why.
Calculating the time, the time when the Titan Research Institute developed the finished mechanical core in 1981 was the end of Talon.
Perhaps the dynasty collapsed before it could be mass-produced.
Then you get someone to guard the tomb?
It wasn't until much later that Ji Xun realized that the more important reason was that the machine was designed in Talun's last year. The empire was already in turmoil, and "Mad King" Alduin was afraid that such a power would overthrow his rule, so he blocked these top technologies.
And Alduin is suspicious by nature. Except for a few people around him, he cannot trust anyone.
This mausoleum is related to his resurrection plan.
No tomb keeper is as reliable as a machine.
To be sure, he asked the few finished Titan mechanical warriors to guard the imperial mausoleum, waiting for him to be resurrected and regain power.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ji Xun and the others had already fled into the maze.
They didn’t dare to stop and ran all the way.
After seeing the terrifying combat power of the three Titan machines, Ji Xun didn't think he could withstand three swords.
There are still those guys from the Southern Continent behind us, but it seems like they won’t be able to stop him for long.
The complex maze slightly gives people a sense of security.
But it's not enough.
While running, Ji Xun asked urgently: "Senior, what should we do now?"
Old man Xu beside him yelled: "What else can we do? Just run. !”
“.”
Ji Xun’s right eyelid twitched.
I thought the old man could come up with something good.
But it seems, not.
Their only hope of survival now is to escape from the secret passage before being caught up.
However, as he ran, Ji Xun's premonition became increasingly bad.
He always felt that since the designer of the mausoleum had three mechanical armors to protect the mausoleum, he would never allow people to escape so easily.
Countless experiences have proven that Ji Xun's guesses about bad outcomes always come true.
Bad news comes one after another.
Although the maze is large, it didn't take much time to run back according to the route in memory. The three of them ran at full speed.
But just after running through a few passages, Ji Xun's expression suddenly changed: "No! The rules of the underground palace's operation have changed!"
He remembered the layout of each corridor in his mind.
So as soon as he came here, he found that the corridor he came from before was suddenly wrong.
The corner that was clearly facing east now faces west.
This kind of underground palace moves like a Rubik's cube. If it is changed a little, the path will be completely different.
If you want to find that "secret passage" again, you will need a lot of time to trial and error and discover new rules.
But what they lack most now is time!
Ji Xun even suspected that the current movement pattern of the maze was "disordered".
The purpose is to completely seal off those who break into the tomb.
“This is terrible.”
Facing death, Ji Xun’s mind raced rapidly, trying to find a glimmer of hope to break the situation.
But no matter how you think about it, it is a dead end.
I ran a few more corridors, but they were all different from those in my memory.
The map in Ji Xun's mind was a complete mess.
At this moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he decisively put Old Man Xu down and let him run ahead.
Since scientific memory does not work, we can only rely on metaphysics.
There is also an "anchor" in the three-person team.
Old Man Xu himself didn't realize that he was regarded as a "humanoid navigation" by Ji Xun.
No matter what the passage was, the old man plunged in with his head buried in it.
Under normal circumstances, running around in the maze is very dangerous.
Not to mention encountering immortal monsters like the [Keeper of Secrets], whenever you encounter a dead end, it will be a dead end for the Mechanical Titan to catch up.
However, Old Man Xu’s own “hazard avoidance physique” allowed the three of them to miraculously avoid all monsters without encountering any dead ends.
Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
However, with this kind of running around, he no longer knew where they were now.
Escape from the underground palace has completely turned into a gamble on luck.
And that sense of death crisis has always lingered in my mind.
As Ji Xun ran, he was also making rapid deductions in his mind.
Their threat is not only the monsters and mechas in the maze, but also the people in the southern continent.
It was not just Ji Xun and the others who discovered that the way the maze operated had changed.
Prince Salo and his party ran into the maze and immediately discovered this problem.
The three mechas were chasing after them, and dozens of people were already dead.
Even if they ran separately, the effect was not ideal.
The three mechas seemed to have the means to lock down the intruders.
No matter where they hide, they will be accurately located and discovered.
Then he chased after a slashing attack, and then chased another team
This kind of death pressure in the maze battle royale made even the strongest old man in the team break into a cold sweat.
Originally, by taking advantage of the familiar corridor, not only could I escape, but at least I would not hit a dead end.
But now that the passage has changed, life and death depend entirely on luck.
Without a familiar road, it is easy to hit a dead end.
No.
There were several groups of guards used as bait to lure away the three mechanical Titans, but not long after, the sound of running metal rubbing against each other was heard again behind them.
And they have hit a dead end.
Prince Salo had never faced such a desperate situation before and couldn't hide his anxiety: "Damn it, what should I do now?" Old Fu knew what he was thinking and stopped him: "Your Highness, in this situation, no matter who you call, it will be useless. Even if you summon those people from the palace, the problem will not be solved."
"."
Saluo's face darkened when he heard this, and he remained silent without speaking.
He dared to break into Augustus's imperial mausoleum before because his mother gave him some special permissions, giving him the ability to summon the palace to worship.
Thinking that no matter what difficult monsters you encounter, you have a way to protect yourself.
But the current situation is, let alone recruiting people, can we solve the three mechanical monsters.
Even if it is solved, we still can’t get out of this mausoleum.
If he really allowed the palace enshrinement to be ruined here, his mother's lineage would also lose everything.
Salo doesn’t want to do this and doesn’t dare.
But if they don't do something like this, they will die sooner or later.
While thinking about it, Princess Betty next to her thought of something and shouted hurriedly: "Those three guys were able to come in before, maybe they know the exit of this maze!"
When Salo heard this, There was a gloomy flash in his eyes: "Yes! Chase those three guys!"
Ji Xun and the others ran all the way, with their shadow observing from the extreme position behind them.
The worst happened.
While running, Shadow was killed again.
Ji Xun explained the current situation clearly as fast as he could: "Senior, the mechanical titan is coming after you! It's the assassin. He still has ten breaths at most, so he will definitely catch up!"
< br>When old man Xu heard this, his old face was stunned, "Huh? Are you catching up?"
It was okay if I didn't say it. But when I said it, the old man became even more panicked: "It's over, it's over, what should I do now?"< br>
“.“
Ji Xun didn't want to hear this. He wanted to know if there was any response plan.
But apparently, no.
Perhaps at the most critical moment, Mr. Xu’s “big account online” will solve the problem.
But Ji Xun felt that he should not put all his hopes on him.
Old man Xu will indeed not die.
But I can do it myself.
At the moment of speaking, the sound of "puff" and "puff" of the magic boiler charging rapidly could be heard in the corridor.
“It’s locked!”
Ji Xun’s eyes flashed.
He decisively gave up Old Man Xu’s guaranteed plan and analyzed it rapidly in his mind.
The most powerful means on his body are the angel's head and wings.
But he was not sure whether the angel's attack would have an effect on the machine after it was released.
Furthermore, Ji Xun always had a feeling that the Weeping Angel was Tarun's guardian angel and might not necessarily help him, an outsider, resist the tombkeepers.
If you want to survive, you have to find another way.
There is no escape.
Ji Xun recalled some of the previous plans in his mind.
When they escaped before, Ji Xun didn't do anything, but arranged some misleading baits such as clothing, blood and food. Shadow was killed twice, and he also gathered some key information.
There is absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
The only hope is to escape.
I don’t know if the machine is controlled by the undead, or if it is a complete machine.
But both have a shortcoming.
That is perception.
Necromantic and mechanical perceptions are preset conditioned reflexes rather than judgments made by true wisdom.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun's thoughts quickly deduced: "Although machines are powerful, they are not without shortcomings. Their perception system is artificially set, and it is nothing more than 'auditory perception', 'olfactory perception' and 'thermal energy'. Perception '' Dynamic Target Perception '' Biometric Perception '."
"I tried using flesh and blood bait before, but the mechanical assassin was not fooled by it. It should be a composite perception ability."
Thinking of this, six breaths of time have passed.
Ji Xun made a decisive decision.
He said quickly to the two old men next to him: "Senior, you can't run away! You can only pretend to be dead and avoid it. You try to suppress all vital signs as much as possible!"
Old man Xu's collision Ji Xun has seen dead-end skills before, and they are only better than him.
Che Er got the old man's true message, which is not bad at all.
Che Er had deep trust in Ji Xun and responded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Old man Xu didn't hesitate and immediately lay on the ground, lifeless.
When Ji Xun saw Old Man Xu following the instructions, he also felt that the success rate of his plan was three points higher.
But without thinking too much, he stopped immediately, put the coffin down, and broke the bandages on it with his fists.
If there is an accident, you can only bet on the angels to help.
At the same time, he also lay on the ground and threw out a [Ice Card].
This is an ordinary second-level spell card with average attack effect.
But it has a function of cooling down a large area.
Ji Xun was not sure how the mechanical armor found the target, so he could only try his best to do everything he could think of.
Ji Xun and the others just lay on the ground. After the cards shattered, a layer of frost condensed on the ground within a hundred meters radius.
The cold air also instantly suppressed the body temperature of the three people to a level that was almost exactly the same as the environment.
Almost the next second after finishing all this.
At the corner of the corridor, a translucent shadow in the air rushed over in a flash.
This is the Titan mechanical assassin who can become optically invisible.
At this moment, it was like a hound chasing its prey, and a sense of death oppression that was more oppressive than the cold air slowly approached.
There was a "click" and "click" sound on the ice.
It’s also thanks to Ji Xun and the others that they have good psychological quality and fake death skills.
Otherwise, just by hearing that sound, any abnormalities in the heartbeat may be exposed.
Ji Xun blocked all nervous emotions.
He thought this was good news.
The fact that he was not discovered immediately shows that these methods have really confused this Titan assassin.
This tense confrontation only lasted for a second, and suddenly the sound of mechanical friction broke out.
A strong wind blew by, and Ji Xun watched as the vision shared by the shadow became dark again.
Shadow was killed again.
But its effect as a bait has been achieved.
Since he was not discovered at such a close distance just now, it will be even harder to find him now that he is far away.
It seems that I was deceived.
But because the shadow was only killed two corridors away, he was not sure whether the mechanical assassin had gone far.
Ji Xun and the other three were just lying there, still not daring to move.
A few minutes later.
Ji Xun and the other three were still lying on the same spot.
They didn’t know how long they would have to lie down.
But there is currently no better solution than lying down and pretending to be dead.
The ideal situation is that the three Titan machines kill all the people in the southern continent and then return to the palace to continue guarding.
Only Ji Xun and the other three have a chance to leave the maze again.
However, the opposite happened.
Ji Xun and the other three were able to escape, but the group of people from the Southern Continent could not.
It’s not like those people didn’t think of Ji Xun’s method of feigning death.
But their situation is the same as Governor Cao in "Grand Cemetery Maze". There are too many people and they become a burden.
As long as someone cannot absolutely fake death, they will attract targets.
Ji Xun knew that if those guys couldn't escape, they would definitely try to find them.
Ji Xun was not lucky that the other party didn't come to him.
I can only pray that the other party will be killed by the Mechanical Titan before he comes to find him.
Unfortunately, no.
There was a dead silence in the corridor.
But at this time, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.
When Ji Xun heard the footsteps that were already very close, he immediately knew something was wrong and decisively stood up: "Senior, let's go!"
Old man Xu and Che Er beside him listened. , also immediately stood up from under the ice, and complained at the same time: "Damn, why did those guys come here!"
But the enemy came faster than expected.
They didn't come here.
But it comes through the wall.
A space crack suddenly appeared on the corridor, and several embarrassed guys jumped out.
Ji Xun took a look and saw that if they were not Prince Salo, who were they?
Nearly a hundred people came before.
There are only five people now.
Prince Salo and others were already being chased in a panic.
They didn't have the "humanoid navigator" like Old Man Xu, nor did they have Ji Xun's familiarity with the maze. They ran around in a panic, but still couldn't escape the pursuit of the mechanical titan.
I was stuck in a dead end several times.
Fortunately, I have a few life-saving [Space Shuttle Cards] in my hand.
This has allowed them to survive until now.
As soon as they emerged from the space crack, Prince Salo and others were overjoyed at first.
But then everyone frowned.
They originally thought that Ji Xun and the three people in front of them had a secret way to leave the underground palace, but looking at the ice on the ground, they understood everything instantly.
Did these three guys use suspended animation to hide those mechanical monsters?
The five people in Salou had different expressions, and their minds became more active.
Ji Xun never thought that the two sides would meet in this way.
Both sides glared at each other.
No one dares to take action.
There may be only eight of them alive in the entire underground palace now. Taking action here will inevitably trigger the locking of the three nearby mechanical titans.
And you can already hear the sound of metal friction as the warrior mechanical titan pursues.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
The five people in Salou were frightened and did not dare to move.
Ji Xun saw that the other party had no intention of taking action, and it was too late to change places. He sneered and simply lay down on the ground.
Old Xu and Che Er on the side looked at it and followed suit.
When the five people in Salo looked at each other, their expressions were all stiff.
But when they heard the sound of machinery getting closer and closer, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and lay down together.
I didn’t dare to try this method easily before, but now the three guys in front of me have obviously tried it, and the five of them think they have no problem.
This is also the only hope for survival at the moment.
In the corridor of the huge underground palace, there was a cold air and an eerie silence.
In this way, the eight people in Ji Xun all pretended to be dead in an awkward and tacit understanding.
And just as they were pretending to be dead, on the other side, there was the palace where the "Mad King" Alduin was buried.
A young man wearing a crown slowly climbed up the steps and sneered: "You are coveting my ancestral mausoleum of Augustus, and it depends on whether you have the life to get out alive."
This man It was none other than Arthur, the new king of Oran.
