Chapter 1405 The Whole City Is in Turmoil
The violent release of electric current caused a regional magnetic storm, and the power of magic amplified this magnetic storm dozens or hundreds of times. Thousands of bats formed a group of huge super-powerful electromagnets in the air. The magnetic field generated by the rotation swept through the entire temple corridor like countless invisible arrows. At that moment, everyone felt a strong dizziness.
The strong magnetic field even caused a large area of strange black areas to appear in the corridor: that was a sign that the space was distorted.
In the sweep of the magnetic field and electric current, fine electric sparks burst out from each Colossus soldier, and then trembled and collapsed. The heavy stone statue fell to the ground, causing the entire pyramid to shake. Hao Ren squinted his eyes and tried to confirm the external situation in this crazy electromagnetic storm. He could vaguely see that the surfaces of the fallen Colossus soldiers were dimming one after another, and the runes and lines were gradually extinguished. This should be a complete "shutdown." signs.
And some vague translucent shadows emerged from the bodies of those colossi soldiers. One end of them was connected to the "heart" of the stone statues, and the other end extended into nothingness. Under the sweep of the electromagnetic field, these shadows were like some kind of invisible... The creature's tentacles quickly disappeared from the tunnel.
Hao Ren blinked, wondering if what he just saw was an illusion.
The electromagnetic storm only lasted for a few minutes, and then it finally subsided, leaving only a bunch of stone statue guards still shaking and a husky spirit with electric hair all over its body.
Lily threw herself at Vivian with a head of exploding silver fur, a half-black and half-white tail standing angrily behind her: "Did that Oster tell you that magnets can also generate electricity!! Yes! I didn’t tell you that excessive current can kill people!!”
When Hesiana saw this situation, she quickly went up to help Vivian block it: "Ms. Vivian, step back! I'll block this mad dog!"
Hao Ren also hurriedly stepped forward to break up the fight: "Hesiana, calm down. It's not the first day these two have been like this. Lily, please calm down too. That Oersted is studying the generation of magnetism from electricity. The generation of electricity from magnetism was discovered by Faraday. Yes, and the lightning Vivian released just now was not caused by magnetism and electricity..."
Elizabeth held Y'zaks' head and whispered in the latter's ear: "Sometimes I really don't know the meaning of Uncle Ren's enlightenment..."
However, for an angry husky, the specific content of the fight itself did not have much impact. Lily fluttered a few times and then calmed down. While arranging her hair, she muttered: "Of course I know this after graduating from Peking University four times... …I’m just annoyed that this bat still doesn’t know how to control his lightning storm…”
Vivian glared at Lily: "I'm in control! And the landlord put up a barrier to protect everyone at that time. Who let you rush too far forward and I took the AOE by the way! Just be lucky, thanks to this time The main thing I release is magnetic field impact. If this is really pure lightning, you will be stunned!"
Lily: "..."
Only then did Gun cautiously get out from behind Hao Ren. When the stupid cat first saw the Colossus soldiers, he went up to fight with them bravely, and also killed one of them with its fangs and claws. The head of a Colossus soldier, but after seeing the number of enemies in the corridor, he immediately meowed and backed away. Only now did he dare to look ahead. She scratched Hao Ren's sleeve: "Big cat, is it safe?"
"At least all the enemies in the temple must be dead. Vivian's magnetic field just now is enough to cover the entire pyramid area," Hao Ren frowned and walked forward, "Anyway, let's get out of here quickly. I'm not feeling well." I have a premonition that we may have disturbed something."
After a previous breakout, they had already approached the exit of the pyramid temple. At this time, there were no Colossus soldiers to block them. After a while, everyone passed over the incapacitated stone lumps and arrived at the square in front of the pyramid. Hao Ren was the first to be seen. What he saw were a dozen stone statues lying on the open ground.
Those stone statues were larger than those inside the temple. They were obviously the guards on both sides of the pyramid trail. In fact, some of these stone statues had already rushed into the pyramid temple and fell on the ground where Hao Ren and his party had broken out. In that corridor, the guards left in the square may have been specifically ambushed here: in case the guards in the temple failed to deal with the intruders, these giant statues guarding the exit could still take advantage of the intruders to break out and relax their carelessness. Give a fatal blow - Although Hao Ren doubted whether these giant statues had this level of intelligence, it was possible that the makers of these guards had left similar defense programs in their stone heads.
It's just that the power of Vivian's magnetic field storm was beyond imagination. Not only were the guards inside the pyramid temple instantly eliminated, but even the giant statues in the square outside were neutralized.
A stone statue with a wolf head and a human body located at the edge of the square has not been completely destroyed. The rock shell of its body has peeled off, revealing an inner shell that is as dark as obsidian. Intermittent runes and lines appear and disappear on its surface. The giant statue struggled hard to maintain a half-kneeling posture. Noticing that the intruder emerged from the temple intact, the last Colossus soldier raised his head and raised his arm to point in Hao Ren's direction.
Lily was holding back her anger and had no way to vent it. When she saw this, she roared and rushed forward. She stepped on a series of big holes on the stone road along the way. The Colossus soldier was overturned by her cannonball-like impact, and fell down shockingly. Then Lily raised her fist and rained down on the stone statue's chest.
After a while, the stone statue stopped moving.
Hao Ren sighed: "The human-headed dog killed the kobold..."
Vivian looked a little embarrassed: "She seems really angry."
"Nonsense, she treasures her tail the most. Look at what her tail looks like now - it looks like it has been roasted by fire."
"Do I have to apologize to her?"
"No, Huskies have a poor memory, and she will forget it after a while."
Vivian: "..."
"These stone statues are very strange," Yzaks said muffledly next to him. "I feel that they have unified command. This can be seen from their coordination performance - there are few self-disciplined golems. To do this, and during the battle, I didn’t find out how much independent thinking ability these stone statues have.”
Hao Ren nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly.
"What's this again?!"
Hesiana couldn't help but change her expression. The previous battle had already made her quite nervous, and the tremor she felt at this moment made her suddenly have a very bad feeling.
"Meow?" Gun raised his head and looked around, then quickly climbed to a nearby pillar. The cat girl hugged the pillar and stretched her neck to look into the distance, and then jumped down: "Big cat! It's not good. ! More stone men are coming from all directions!"
Upon hearing this, Hao Ren immediately flew the data terminal into the air to provide reconnaissance. The picture that came back made everyone gasp:
The lost ancient city was filled with smoke and dust, and vortexes of sand and dust rose up from every avenue. Countless black animal-headed statues strode between temples and palaces like an army from a fairy tale. Every avenue you can see is crowded with these huge golems!
They are undoubtedly coming here!
"I'm going to kill you...we have stabbed the stone nest!" Hao Ren couldn't help being a little stunned, and then quickly glanced at everyone around him:
The sacred shield on everyone's body is still shining. This shield protects everyone from being affected by the ubiquitous red moonlight in the ancient city. It also provides an extra layer of defense. However, the main function of this shield is Resist negative energy - in other words, it is an anti-magic shield rather than a physical shield, and its effectiveness in fighting the stone soldiers is not as great as imagined.
Vivian's electromagnetic storm has unparalleled lethality against the Colossus soldiers. Yzaks and Lily are strong enough to fight against more than ten stone statues at the same time. It is not a big deal for Hao Ren's own guns to deal with one or two stone statue troops. The problem is, as for the others, even the weakest Gun can still fight against a stone statue alone without losing...
However, if a whole city of demons came over, then they would have to consider a retreat.
Even Vivian's electromagnetic storm consumes magic power!
Lily also knew what happened at this time, and she ran over quickly: "Landlord! What should we do? Should we continue to fight? I feel that the number is a bit too much!!"
"The situation is not good, let's leave this place first!" Hao Ren made a decision quickly, "The stone statues do not move very fast. Mobile warfare is beneficial to us, but once we are surrounded by them, we will be in trouble. Vivian's electromagnetic storm is not unlimited. of."
Vivian nodded and confirmed Hao Ren's statement: "It will take at least thirty minutes of adjustment for me to create the next electromagnetic storm."
Hao Ren had already put away the plasma spear at this time, and replaced it with a prosecutor's gun and a magnetic oscillation bomb. Magnetic oscillation bombs are extremely effective against these golems without magnetic shielding protection. The Inquisitor equipped with a gun can definitely kill enemies of this size with one blow: When fighting in the temple before, due to the limitations of the battlefield environment, he found There was no chance to use the psionic pistol, but in the open streets of the ancient city, he no longer had to worry about accidentally injuring friendly troops.
"Terminal! Provide navigation!" He raised his head and shouted to the data terminal.
"Where to go?"
"The great temple in the center of the city!"
"You want to go to the Grand Temple?" Lily was stunned for a moment, "The stone statues are the guards of the temple. Shouldn't the Grand Temple in the center of the city be their home base?"
"No, I'm afraid it's just the opposite..."
