Chapter 103: Making two profits in a row, a small gain (7700 words big chapter)
The swarm went through the stone gate first and entered the ancient ruins to explore.
After confirming that there was no danger, the Flesh Slaughterer then entered for a second confirmation, and finally Hagus entered with the cold-blooded cavalry.
Lear went with the Swamp Banshee and the Bubble Beast.
He walked through the stone door and didn't feel the air was heavy.
On the contrary, my breathing was quite comfortable and refreshing.
Apparently the ventilation is well done.
For this reason, I felt a little relieved and turned around to look around.
Behind the stone gate is a long arched passage with a height of more than 15 meters and a width of more than 20 meters.
The walls were entirely made of metal, with strange and twisted runes engraved on them.
It is completely different from ordinary runes. It has a kind of madness like writing when you are drunk.
Light emanates from within the walls, illuminating the surrounding area.
It's like the lights are hidden behind the glass, but if you want to touch them, you can only touch the metal of the wall.
As Lear looked around, there was a rumble~
The heavy stone door behind him slowly moved and began to close again.
He turned around subconsciously and saw that the Cyclops behind him was trying to prevent the stone door from closing.
The muscles on his body were almost twisted, the veins on his neck were exposed, and his face became ferocious.
A low growl erupted from his throat.
But this six-meter-tall being couldn't be stopped even if he exhausted all his strength.
"Don't worry about him, come in."
After hearing Lear's order, the Cyclops reluctantly let go and entered the ruins before the stone door was completely closed.
Click~
The stone door closed completely, making a crisp snapping sound.
The Cyclops was a little unwilling and tried to open it from the inside, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it.
He, who had always been proud of his strength, received a big blow.
Lear saw this and smiled.
"This is an ancient relic. I don't know how many resources others spent to forge it. If you were to open it so easily, it would not be able to be preserved for that long."
"Return to the team!"
The Cyclops finally felt relieved and followed the team again.
Lear ignored the big man and looked forward.
"Everyone is on alert. This goblin ruins contains a large number of high-level mechanical golems. The most powerful one is the level 14 mechanical golem king."
“Dangers are everywhere, we must not underestimate them!”
The serious voice lifted everyone's spirits.
This passage was about two hundred meters long, and the advancing army passed through it quietly.
It was quiet except for the sound of footsteps.
The moment he walked out of the passage, Lear's vision suddenly widened.
In front of him was a huge open square.
More than 500 meters in diameter.
The height is at least 50 meters.
There are a large number of broken mechanical golems piled up on the edge of the square, like garbage, mixed together and their specific appearance cannot be seen.
It is completely forged from metal, with a lot of battle marks remaining on it.
I don’t know what kind of battle it took for them to be destroyed like this.
The most eye-catching thing is a mechanical golem in the central area.
The height is over 15 meters!
It has a humanoid shape, with four arms. The wrists are no longer ordinary palms, but equipped with sharp blades. You can feel its ferocity and ferocity even from a distance.
Very oppressive.
The key is that the body of this mechanical golem was split straight from the head down and broken into two parts. The wound was smooth, as if it had been chopped off with a sharp knife.
Cut off a 15-meter-tall mechanical golem with one knife?
Seeing a leopard at a glance, it is hard to imagine what a terrible battle this ruins suffered before it was completely destroyed.
At this time, the swarm of bees was flying, but could not find a way to the deeper depths.
The surroundings seemed to be completely isolated.
Lear frowned slightly.
Is this all there is to the ruins?
At the moment of doubt, a scarlet wasp accidentally touched the split giant mechanical golem in the middle with its wings while flying.
At this moment, those eyes slowly lit up.
The bloody light is extremely eye-catching.
"Foreign enemies have broken in!"
"Activate the Guardian Legion."
A stiff voice sounded.
Click~
The mechanical golems piled up at the edge of the hall made a dull sound, then fell to one side and scattered all over the floor.
Rumble~
The smooth walls around him moved upwards like a garage roller shutter door opened.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of doorways opened.
Lear's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked carefully. The space inside these doorways was about 10 meters long and about 5 meters wide.
Most of them are empty, with nothing in sight.
Some are placed with mechanical golems that have been severely broken.
Only the 10 warehouses directly in front are now filled with mechanical golems, and there is no trace of wear on them.
A pair of eyes slowly opened, and blood-colored light flashed.
"Warning, enemy attack!"
"Warning, enemy attack!"
Stiff words rang out from his mouth.
Click~click~
Those mechanical golems moved violently and walked straight out of the warehouse.
The golem has the same appearance as the giant mechanical golem that was split in half in the center area. Although it is slightly shorter, it still reaches 3.5 meters, which is taller than a one-story house.
It has a humanoid structure, with no fingers on the front of its four arms, all of which are double-edged swords.
After leaving the warehouse, you can see the twisted inscriptions engraved on the outer metal shell emitting bursts of light.
seems to drive their actions.
Mechanical golem, level: 10, talent: metal body, defense increased by an additional 70%, not controlled by mental magic, energy core is not damaged, you can continue fighting
Level 10 mechanical golem!
It’s finally here.
Lear's eyes narrowed and he immediately gave the order.
"Scarlet Hornet, attack!"
The queen bee beside her let out a scream.
The next moment, the swarm of bees hovering in the sky swooped down.
The sharp spikes directly cut through its body while flying at high speed.
Squeak~ There was a sharp sound of a knife scraping the glass, giving people a creepy feeling.
The sharp tail needle left scratches on the body of the mechanical golem.
But no substantial harm was caused.
After one round of attacks, its skin was only scratched.
Upon seeing this, the scarlet wasp lay directly on its body and started biting.
But the mouth that can easily bite bones is still unable to break the defense.
On the other hand, the mechanical golem started waving the sharp blades in its four arms closely, whirring~ the air made a harsh sound.
Like a meat grinder strangulating,
The Scarlet Hornet died on contact and fell to the ground crazily.
When the queen bee saw this, she immediately became angry and had a thought.
The bodies of the scarlet wasps lying on their mechanical golems suddenly began to expand.
Like a balloon that has been inflated to the extreme——
Bang~
It exploded directly.
Corrosive mucus splashed out, covering the mechanical golem.
But the mucus that can easily corrode flesh and blood cannot melt the metal shell, leaving only a slight layer of corrosion marks on it.
Even if all tens of thousands of wasps explode themselves, they may not cause substantial damage.
The Scarlet Hornet's two major killers suddenly failed when faced with the mechanical golem made of pure metal.
Lear saw that not only did he not kill the enemy, but he himself destroyed two to three thousand scarlet wasps in an instant, he immediately waved his hand to stop this senseless consumption.
The swarm quickly withdrew from the battlefield and circled in the air again.
If all he had was the Scarlet Hornet, these mechanical golems would defeat him.
"Cold-blooded cavalry attack!"
The moment the Scarlet Hornet left the battlefield, the cold-blooded cavalry who had been waiting for a long time launched a charge under the command.
Lear left two squadrons behind as a precaution.
But the scene of 350 cold-blooded cavalry charging in unison is still heart-stopping.
The earth was trembling, heavy footsteps sounded like muffled thunder, and thousands of horses galloped.
Because the weapons have not yet been fully forged, most of the cold-blooded cavalry are currently using spears captured from the rotten centaurs.
But the spear is more suitable for cavalry!
While running at high speed, he directly collided with the mechanical golem.
Bang~
The 3.5-meter-tall mechanical golem was rushed by the violent lizard, and its body could not withstand the terrifying impact force. It fell back and hit the ground hard.
The Velociraptor Lizard charged past, stepping on its chest with its huge hind limbs. The terrifying force combined with its own weight caused a large dent in its chest.
The wetland lizard warrior on his back took advantage of every opportunity and stabbed down with the spear in his hand.
Penetrating directly from the eye socket.
Click~
You can hear the breaking sound of mechanical parts inside.
The ferocious mechanical golem seemed to have lost its power in an instant, and fell limply to the ground without any movement.
The key is that the energy core is in the head!
The news was quickly passed on to other companions.
Then, the ferocious level 11 troops launched a more domineering attack.
There is no pain or fear in these mechanical golems. They swing the sharp blades in their hands frequently. Once attacked by them, there will be terrible blood marks on their bodies, and their four arms are impossible to defend against.
Fortunately, whether they are wetland lizard warriors or violent lizards, the scales on their bodies are very strong.
Being attacked by a sharp blade can offset most of the damage and cannot damage its roots.
The lives of the mount and the warrior are shared. Even if they are attacked, the damage can be shared and they will not be killed instantly.
This gives them great fault tolerance.
What's more important is that Lear is sitting in the rear.
Once they see that the army is injured, they will immediately cast Swamp Gift Healing.
This allowed the cold-blooded cavalry to charge more fearlessly.
Mechanical golems don't feel pain, but neither does the cold-blooded cavalry!
They are the purest warriors, ferocious, cruel, crazy, and fearless of everything!
The night elves, who had not been ordered to take action by Lear, saw the cold-blooded cavalry fighting for the first time.
My heart suddenly trembled.
Although they knew that these soldiers were very powerful, they never imagined that they could be so crazy!
They even saw with their own eyes that the weapon of the mechanical golem penetrated the abdomen of the wetland lizardman warrior. The opponent grinned and took the initiative to move his body forward to close the distance, and then pierced the opponent's head with the spear in his hand.
After seeing that his shoulder was torn in half, he switched the weapon to another hand and let the blood spurt, continuing to fight without stopping.
That crazy look made all the night elves feel a chill running down their spines.
His eyes changed again and again.
Even with the Lord's healing support behind him, it was still too terrifying.
It was absolutely impossible for them to still be fighting with their intestines exposed.
This is not a human being at all!
I was inexplicably happy. Fortunately, I didn't do anything irrational. Otherwise, not to mention the more than 500 cold-blooded cavalry, even if they were deployed one-tenth, they could be killed easily.
The pride of the elves can no longer rise
The two hundred mechanical golems that were unharmed in the face of the swarm were quickly wiped out under the iron hoofs of the cold-blooded cavalry!
The scene quickly calmed down.
There are just parts all over the floor.
The price paid was that the cold-blooded cavalry suffered a large number of minor injuries, but none of them were killed.
Seven or eight of them were seriously injured, but Lear forcibly saved them all.
After the war, the cold-blooded cavalry looked at Lear with even more fanaticism and reverence.
A powerful wet nurse can support the logistics of an entire army.
Although he is not afraid of anything, who is willing to die if he can survive.
After the field fell silent, Lear looked at the broken machinery curiously.
While thinking, he motioned to Hagus, who had just rushed the hardest, to take apart a few and take a look.
Holding the steel knife, Hagus got off the Velociraptor and found a relatively complete mechanical golem.
He adjusted his posture slightly and held the steel knife tightly. Qi and blood slowly poured out, covering the blade.
After taking a deep breath, he slashed hard.
Click~ The head of the mechanical golem was cut into two pieces, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.
Ding Ling~
A clear voice sounded.
A crystal clear red gem in his head fell to the ground.
Lear's eyes lit up.
This is?
Hagus quickly bent down to pick it up, and then continued to dismantle the mechanical golem, but even after dismantling its parts into scrap metal, he did not get anything similar.
After confirming that there was nothing to gain, the wetland lizard man hero stepped forward and handed the gem to him.
The moment Lear took it, he immediately felt the majestic energy contained in it.
It's like catching a little sun.
Its texture is firm, but not cold, but rather warm.
Looking at it carefully, its attribute panel appeared in my mind——
Energy Core
[Level]: 2 stars
[Characteristics:] Contains majestic energy. After it is consumed, it needs to be replenished with a unique alchemical magic circle.
[Evaluation]: The goblin’s outstanding technological creation.
2 star treasure? ! !
Lear was pleasantly surprised.
Looking at the mechanical golem stumps all over the ground, his eyes instantly became hot.
"The heads of the mechanical golems contain the energy core that drives them. Please operate carefully and take them out!"
After the order was given, the cold-blooded cavalry around them immediately started to find the heads and began to pry them open.
Not long after, a full 200 energy cores were piled in front of them.
Lear felt the surging energy inside and was in a good mood. This energy core looks like a power bank?
Looking at its properties, it can be recharged and used, but I don’t know if I can get the recharged alchemy magic circle inside.
Go back and let Frye and the swamp people study it together to see what this thing can do.
And please report a reminder, there are thousands of mechanical golems in the ruins.
This means that after exploring the ruins, not to mention the 4-star and 5-star level treasures, there are guaranteed to be thousands of 2-star treasures.
This alone is already an exaggerated profit.
Comfortable, make a little profit.
At this moment, there was a click~click~
The sound of breaking glass was heard, and Lear came back to his senses and looked at the ground.
It was discovered that the inscriptions on the shell of the mechanical golem were being broken, and the metal body was also becoming fragile and full of cracks.
The look is a little subtle.
Is this because of the loss of energy core?
"Then if the energy core is not taken out, can these mechanical golems be repaired?"
I will take a few back to the territory to study them later.
But there is no hope, this thing looks like a high-end creation.
Weilu City currently does not have a talent pool in this area.
The only person who has mastered alchemy, Donya, is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
It is not unusually difficult to repair and control the mechanical golem.
Not obsessed with this, after cleaning the battlefield, Lear seemed to have thought of something and looked at the giant mechanical golem that was split in half in the center area.
At this moment, the other party's eyes were still glowing red, but there was no sign of coming back to life.
He hadn't paid attention just now, but now he was looking carefully, and immediately saw the scene he wanted to see the most——
The energy core in his split head is still there! !
The joy in my heart suddenly exploded.
What level of energy core should this 15-meter-tall mechanical golem have? !
Looking attentively, the attribute panel quietly emerged——
High-level energy core
[Level]: 4 stars
[Characteristics]: Contains huge energy and can support high-level mechanical golem battles.
[Evaluation]: High-level energy cores are also rare among goblins. This energy core has been consumed and needs to be recharged.
4-star energy core!
Lear laughed.
My heart is filled with joy.
What a baby, what a baby! !
What is the concept of 4 stars?
If you change the potential of the arms, the upper limit is level 15!
An absolute treasure!
I didn’t expect that I could pick one up right here.
No wonder everyone is so fascinated by ancient ruins, this thing is a pure treasure hunt.
After taking a deep look at the huge mechanical golem, if the opponent was intact, it would definitely have top-notch combat power above level 15.
But now, this thing is his!
With a wave of his hand, several scarlet wasps flew forward and directly took out the energy core.
The moment the energy core separated from his brain, boom~ the wall directly behind him opened up again, revealing a new passage.
There's a way to go!
After receiving the high-level energy core, Lear was in a good mood.
Let the army search again, and after confirming that there is nothing, they stepped forward and came to the entrance of the passage.
Look around.
It was quiet inside, no different from the previous passage.
But for the sake of safety, he did not set off rashly and continued to let the Scarlet Hornet go to investigate.
But the moment the wasp flew into the doorway, it seemed as if it had passed through a water curtain and was directly disconnected from him.
The flapping of its wings could no longer be heard.
There seemed to be something blocking it all.
Seeing this, the night elf leader Ishani stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Sir, this is a one-way isolation door. Once you step inside, you cannot return."
"Can isolate all sound and energy connections."
Lear's heart froze slightly.
But there was no hesitation, and he waved his hand to let the flesh and blood slaughterer beside him take the lead, and the troops filed in.
There is no way out after entering, and you can only exit after exploring the ruins.
And after getting the 4-star treasure, he was unwilling to leave now.
After passing through the invisible one-way door, there is another long passage with various exquisite reliefs carved on the metal walls.
All of them praise the deeds of goblins.
You can see goblins with pointed ears, pointed noses, and ugly faces driving tall and unique mechanical golems to fight against demons, humans, elves, and even angels.
And often it is the goblins who win.
It seems that in the goblin murals, they are invincible and immortal heroes.
Walking all the way to the end, you can see that the goblins have won the final victory and even established their own empire.
On the last page, there is a picture of the goblin king being crowned with a crown.
At this moment, 12 towering giant mechanical golems stood next to the goblin king. Under the goblin, there were the corpses of dragons, angels, great demons, titans and countless other ultimate weapons.
Among the 12 machines, one was exactly the same as the giant mechanical golem that was split from it, but there was a difference in size.
Although the plot is not coherent and consists of scenes and fragments one after another, it expresses very vividly the deeds of the goblins who finally built their own kingdom after going through many hardships.
The scene of the goblin king being crowned was even more impressive.
He turned to look at Ishani.
"Do you know anything about the goblins?"
Ishani shook her head.
"Sir, there is very little information about goblins. In the underground world, goblins are a group of dirty and lowly beings."
"Weak in combat power, but weak in character, as inconspicuous as a worm on the ground."
He said with some curiosity.
"Are these really the goblins' past?"
This night elf still couldn't believe it.
Goblins are almost representatives of lower-class life, smelly, dirty, and without wisdom.
The other party has such a glorious past, how could he end up in this situation, and have not heard of his deeds?
Lear was thoughtful.
I have also asked Bain, the swamp hero, over the past few days, and his descriptions of goblins are very straightforward, almost the same as night elves.
He thought it was because his memory had not been touched. It seemed that the goblins really had no information about this passed down.
However, in the long history of this world, there have been too many lost civilizations.
There’s nothing strange about it, just don’t dwell on it and move on.
After passing the relief sculpture after the king's coronation, there were no other sculptures in front of him, and the army slowly entered the second spacious hall.
The diameter of 500 meters is almost the same as the previous one, but the passage directly opposite is already open.
Just go through the hall to get deeper.
Turning around, I saw that the hall was empty, with nothing there.
Only the ceiling was filled with holes like honeycombs, so densely packed that it made people feel numb.
People with trypophobia can take off on the spot just by looking at it.
After Lear looked up for a few times, he felt a little uneasy.
He waved his hands violently.
"The rear troops should return to the passage first and don't come out!"
The moment the order was given, the stiff mechanical voice sounded again.
"Warning, enemy invasion!"
"Warning, enemy invasion!"
Buzz buzz~
Suddenly a buzz of flapping wings drowned out the sound of the flying bees.
I saw a large number of alchemical mechanical creations flying out of the honeycomb-like holes on the ceiling.
It has a full metal shell and a sharp three-edged spike on the front, which seems to be used for attack.
The belly is round and about the size of half a fist, and there are two pairs of wings on its back.
It looks quite strange.
Alchemy Hummingbird, level: 2 stars, characteristics: piercing, self-destruction.
Lear's face changed suddenly.
"These are alchemical hummingbirds in front of you. They will explode the scarlet hornets. Stop them!"
A 2-star level creation, self-exposed, is equivalent to a bomb.
After flying out of the holes all over the ceiling, the mechanical hummingbird quickly attacked the army.
A few flying ones rushed to the flesh and blood slaughterer at the front.
Phew~ Several irregular flights avoided the attack of the Flesh Slaughterer and directly hit him.
Bang~ A hot flame exploded, covering several meters of surrounding area with high temperature.
The Flesh Slaughterer was unable to dodge at all, and his skin was burned and blackened.
There was a stench.
A terrifying heat wave swept over and rolled over my face.
Lear looked serious and ordered quickly.
"The cold-blooded cavalry retreats to the rear!"
"Bubblemon blocks the hole with bubbles to prevent enemies from entering."
These mechanical hummingbirds are a no-brainer.
Fighting against bombs with your physical body, no matter how tenacious your vitality is, you can't withstand the opponent's self-destruction.
After the army retreated into the passage, Bubblemon immediately blew big bubbles.
This time he brought 20 bubble beasts, each of which could control 30 bubbles. The dense bubbles completely blocked the entrance of the cave.
Some of those flying machines went directly around the swarm, trying to break through.
But the moment he entered the bubble, the buzzing wings suddenly stopped.
Block energy.
Unique properties of bubbles.
Lear suddenly relaxed when he saw this.
"Scarlet Hornet can put some mechanical hummingbirds in."
The enemies are too fierce, and they may not be able to hold them all if they are released.
Buzz buzz~
Under the control of the queen, the scarlet wasp intentionally or unintentionally made way for it.
At that moment, those mechanical hummingbirds were rushing past, trying to explode themselves at the army, but they were quietly captured.
Like a swimming fish that has hit a fishing net
But there were too many mechanical hummingbirds. In just a few minutes, more than 3,000 were caught.
To block its energy core requires sufficient mental control, which puts a lot of pressure on Bubblemon.
When the number of mechanical hummingbirds exceeds 6,000, the pressure of the bubble reaches the extreme and reaches the upper limit.
20 Bubble Beasts, each person can suppress 300!
Lear also felt a little regretful when he saw this.
This is a 2-star treasure. Now, we can only fight head-on!
“Don’t hold back anymore, destroy them completely!”
The order was given, and the swarm didn't stop any longer, and rushed forward in a swarm.
Play with each other and self-destruct together!
The Scarlet Hornet rushed forward, expanded, and exploded. The mechanical hummingbird hit the Scarlet Hornet, its belly was torn apart, and the mechanical parts flew wildly, and the heat surged.
Bang~bang~bang~
There were explosions, and they were constantly broken and killed.
The scene was extremely heated.
On one side is a dense and endless stream of goblin creations - mechanical hummingbirds, and on the other side is a semi-undead life - the scarlet wasp.
They fought against each other, causing a huge impact in an instant. There was almost no other sound in their ears, only the violent roar of the explosion.
The scarlet hornet's self-destruction is biological and has strong corrosive power, while the mechanical hummingbird's self-destruction is alchemical and can cause high-temperature damage.
The number of mechanical hummingbirds is undetermined, while the scarlet wasps are backed up by queens.
The queen was now sitting behind the bubble, her huge abdomen squirming.
The undead energy in his body gathered in his abdomen, and he gave birth to scarlet wasps covered in mucus one after another.
After the wasp landed on the ground, it slowly flapped its wings, quickly drying up the mucus. After just a few breaths, it began to flap its wings and take off, joining the battlefield.
Build troops on the spot!
Supplementation is just an additional means, what’s more important is that the queen bee can accurately control the bee swarm!
Under strong command, the opponent's mechanical hummingbird that only relied on instinct to attack suffered higher losses.
It can be as low as one for one, one for two, and one for three.
This terrifying battle lasted for half an hour before it gradually subsided.
Of the 50,000 Scarlet Hornets, less than 20,000 were left in the end. By the end, there were no traces of the two sides fighting on the field, only constant roars.
There are no traces of the mechanical hummingbird in the holes in the ceiling.
The smoke in the air was gradually blown away by the wind from nowhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air began to fade.
When everything returned to normal, all that was left on the field were the remains of mechanical hummingbirds.
The Scarlet Hornet's self-destruction would not even leave a body behind.
Lear's expression was a little subtle when he saw this.
The guarding ability of these ruins is really powerful. Fortunately, he has accumulated enough strength, otherwise these mechanical hummingbirds alone would cause them heavy losses
The cold-blooded cavalry may not be able to survive!
At this time, I also felt a little bit about the feelings of the enemies who were bombarded by the Scarlet Hornets.
"Master, these mechanical hummingbirds are no longer struggling!"
The slightly delighted voice of the Bubble Beast beside him interrupted his thoughts.
Lear turned his head and saw the captured mechanical hummingbirds in the bubble that had stopped flapping their wings, and his mood immediately improved.
Although the scarlet hornet's losses were considerable, the scarlet queen was able to replenish them.
It won't be long before it's full.
These mechanical hummingbirds are real good stuff.
"Very good, gather them together and bring them all back to the territory."
These are all 2-star level treasures, and the damage caused by the Scarlet Hornet is not the same.
If you can learn how to control it, it might work wonders when the time comes.
Even if you have the Scarlet Hornet and don't need it, if you take it back to Loland City and sell it later, it will still be a huge fortune.
This is a full number of 6,000.
Hahaha, another small profit.
He looked toward the passage behind him, his mood rising.
"keep going!"
