Chapter 187 Zongzi Pretends to Be Dead

In the body of the golem behind the team, a stuck joint seemed to finally start successfully, and the creaking sound of rotation allowed the arms to spread to both sides of the torso.

The iron palm with three thick fingers slammed into the ground. When the vibration reached the feet of Olivia and the other two, a dangerous red light accompanied by a sharp alarm sounded on the torso of the giant that bent and slowly stood up.

(Haraen language)

". Savin II self-check

Magic power reserve: low

Maintenance status: low.

Chaos magic detected.

Danger assessment: low

Preset response strategy: annihilation."

In the dim light, Olivia, who was charging, looked at the rusty steel and gold copper monster. The round opening on the chest suddenly ignited a raging fire. Intuition made the girl think of the fire-breathing dragon in the story.

"Danger! The magic power in this guy is increasing! Disperse!" Corvis suddenly stopped and shouted to the other two.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, the nozzle on the golem's body suddenly shone brightly, and a thick and hot flame column shot out with a bang.

But the aim was extremely off, and the rolling heat wave slanted on the ground not far away, burning the rock into a large piece of molten magma.

However, the golem was still calibrating the direction of the nozzle, and the hot flame column immediately swept towards the three people in front.

Olivia and Canis were not slow at all while running. They kicked their steel boots and avoided the terrible molten flame trajectory from both sides.

Corvis drew a seal, chanted a spell, raised his sword in front of him, and the clearly visible golden Arias barrier was instantly deployed to block the high-temperature flame column.

Amid the sizzling sound of burning, feeling the intense consumption of magic power, the young man frowned, and did not fight hard. He rubbed the dangerous focus trajectory against the magic barrier, slid down and rushed directly under the crotch of the golem, and turned to the back of the colossus.

The three of them tacitly took different paths and almost simultaneously went around the back of the metal monster. Considering the opponent's seemingly slow movements, going around the back was undoubtedly the best strategy.

The young master of the Wolf family stopped his rushing steel feet. Facing the strange "monster" made of gold and copper, Canis almost used all his brute force, holding the lance at an angle, roaring and stabbing the monster's right foot joint with all his strength.

The lance body shot out from the hands of the powerful Knight of Military Merit, whistling through the air like a cannonball, and pierced into the moving mechanism of the colossus.

The golem was slightly unbalanced due to its own weight.

The attack was successful, and before Canis could show a proud smile, he heard the girl on the left shouting to him to be careful.

Olivia jumped back swiftly, avoiding the fierce blow from the golem's left arm, and found that there was also a red crystal like an eye behind the monster.

This monster may not have blind spots!

Feeling the sound of the wind crashing down from above his head in an instant, Canis did not dare to neglect it, and directly gave up the lance stuck in the golem's joint, and dodged it with a sideways turn.

Boom!

The iron palm that almost crushed the young master of the Wolf family into a meat pie hit the ground, and pieces of smoke and gravel splashed.

But then, there was a loud click, and the giant that stood up, which was five or six meters tall, suddenly rotated 180 degrees at the waist.

The front with the molten flame nozzle turned directly to the back to face the three people who were besieging him.

——Huh! !

The iron arm that rotated with the torso changed from the right hand to the left hand, dancing with a terrifying sound of wind.

The giant palm of the golem that had not hit Canis just now swept in front of him with a half-circle force, forcing Corvis and Olivia to retreat, and slapped Canis who was unable to dodge.

The young master of the Wolf family had not stopped his sideways dodge just now, and was caught off guard in a hurry. He only had time to summon the spiritual relic kite shield in front of him to barely resist.

Bang——!!!

The huge iron palm brought tons of force and knocked Canis away with the shield.

The bloody young master of the Wolf family flew over the edge of the platform like a meteor. Before he fell into the abyss outside the rock body, he turned into dissipated light particles in the air and turned back into a black card.

The Neti card flipped and fell under the dark cliff.

But Olivia seized the opportunity when the golem focused on attacking Canis, jumped onto the mine cart beside her, and jumped high on the edge.

With a cry, the sword light slashed.

The blonde girl flipped upside down above the monster, and with a griffin slash, she successfully removed the giant arm that "killed" Cannis.

Amid the flying metal components, the golem's right hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Almost at the same time, Corvis's friendship sword pierced into the enemy's scarlet crystal eye like a shining rainbow.

Crack--

"--Explosion." Corvis drew a seal with his two fingertips shining with magic light.

A circle of air explosions bursting from the flying sword magic pattern completely blew the golem's crystal eye to pieces from the inside out.

He lost his "front" vision, but the only remaining "back" vision detected that the "hostile target" who cut off his right arm had not yet fallen from the air.

The other giant arm of the golem, following the undissipated force of the torso just rotating, swung it towards there fiercely.

Olivia twisted her body in mid-air like a civet cat, and the Victory Sword, which was spinning in the direction of the golem, lightly touched the back of the golem's empty iron palm, and used the force to extend the girl's body's airborne time for a few more seconds.

The girl dodged the attack and landed on her feet while flipping sideways, stepping on the huge arm with extraordinary dexterity.

The moment she landed steadily, she inserted the Victory Sword into the golem's elbow joint as a fulcrum to maintain balance while climbing.

The failure of the attack did not make the golem focus more on the "hostile target" that jumped on its arm.

The moment it lost its frontal vision, it immediately ignited the furnace in its chest and shot blindly at the real target.

The blazing flame column was thrown down again, and Corvis gave up controlling the flying sword inserted into the colossus, and opened the magic barrier with both hands at the same time.

The gushing flames bombarded the golden magic shield, but the first layer only lasted less than two seconds before being penetrated.

However, the boy tested the blindness of the colossus at the moment while stepping sideways, and before the barrier was completely broken, he turned sideways to the left and avoided the attack.

After the golem, which could not determine the status of the main target, stopped the bombardment and wanted to find the primary enemy that had lost the lock, it clicked and rotated its torso 180° again, using its other single eye to try to search for the figure carrying the chaotic magic.

Olivia, who was attached to the golem's one arm, gripped the hilt tightly. She felt the enemy's body suddenly rotate. She saw the golem's front body, which was still warm, turn around in mid-air, and made a judgment in an instant.

The huge amount of magic in her body condensed, her hair rose and fluttered, and the girl's green eyes bloomed with brilliant golden light in the darkness.

She drew out her long sword and jumped from the swinging arm of the golem.

Olivia held the sword upside down and fell towards the opening of the enemy's chest.

"Ah--!"

The girl opened her golden eyes wide, roaring without fear of the high temperature that had not yet dissipated. She used the greatest strength of her life to stab the heavy and solid fine steel sword into the muzzle of the golem.

Amid the crisp sound of metal embedding, the petite girl was hung on the golem's chest because the weapon was embedded in the enemy's body.

Raising her waist and feet, Olivia continued to attack and twisted the hilt with all her strength.

The blade seemed to have turned into a terrifying industrial drill, crushing the messy structure inside the golem.

Then the girl did not stop, kicked the golem's body, pulled out the long sword, and flipped her body backwards and jumped far away to the ground.

With two bangs, her feet wrapped in steel boots had just stood firm, and she was about to continue attacking.

But she found that the chest of the golden bronze giant was bursting with sparks, emitting bursts of piercing whistles, and the entire metal giant was shaking and twitching.

At the same time, another colossus was also dismantled into a "human stick" by Leon and Larian, and it fell to the ground with a sharp alarm.

The one he and the Ranger Knight faced was unexpectedly easy to deal with. Perhaps it was due to years of disrepair. Not only was it extremely slow in action, but the nozzle of the suspected long-range projectile weapon only burst out a few bursts of flames and stopped working, which gave Leon a false alarm.

The two cooperated to remove the golem's limbs without any damage, paralyzing it on the ground, and then turned to rush to the partner on the other side.

Swinging the pseudo-thorn sword that turned into molten flames, the three-legged construct that blocked the way was cut into flying parts with the blazing magic flame blade.

Leon, who was anxious to support his lover, suddenly saw from a distance that the golem on Olivia's side looked like a robot in the movie before "self-destruction". He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and shouted:

"Get out of the way!! Olivia! Corvis!——."

The young mage knew how unstable the manic heat element was without being reminded. He immediately recalled the long sword, put the mana barrier behind him, and shouted a warning to Olivia while fleeing away.

The girl raised her eyebrows. Hearing the warnings from her lover and partner, she immediately lost her previous coolness and majesty. She held the long sword, stepped forward, and ran away quickly.     ——Boom! Boom! ——! ! !

Waves of explosions were like brilliant fireworks.

The molten material that exploded from the center of the golem, the fragments of the stairs of the dwarf statue base that were affected, and the large pieces of charred metal components were blown into the air together, flying like flowers from the sky.

Some of the dazzling molten magma splashed everywhere in front of the dwarf stone statue base, and the scorching high temperature melted the thick rock foundation layer by layer and penetrated.

The shock wave of the explosion hit Olivia and she had to roll forward to eliminate the force. The girl shrank her neck and looked back. She saw the flying red-hot metal and "magma" again. She didn't dare to be arrogant and dodged repeatedly.

Corvis, whose feet were lifted off the ground by the explosion and hit the rock pillar, turned over a little dizzy. Fortunately, he was carrying a magic barrier behind him and two layers of armor to protect himself. Except for his embarrassed look, he was not seriously injured.

After successfully solving the golem, Olivia heard the soldiers shouting and killing not far away, and immediately turned around and killed the three-legged metal monsters with a sword without delay.

While dancing with the flaming sword to kill the construct, Leon successfully joined forces with his lover.

"Leon! That guy Canis died in the battle." The girl kept dancing with her sword, and took the time to look at Leon with a little worry.

As an enemy that once made her feel angry and the culprit who caused the sacrifice of many three-leader conscripts, she didn't care about the safety of the guy who had been stabbed to death.

But she didn't have the spare energy to save the other party just now, and Olivia was worried about whether this would affect Leon.

After all, in the eyes of the Wolf family, their young master is still staying with Leon to recuperate.

"It doesn't matter, Canis is now a spirit composed of the Neti card. If he dies, he will just return to the card to recover. As long as the Neti card itself is not damaged, he will appear again after a while." Leon waved the molten flame sword to split the dwarf machine in front of him, and turned back to answer.

Without the threat of the dangerous golem, the knights quickly cleared out the enemies on the platform with the assistance of the soldiers.

As the last few tripod constructs were about to be smashed into scrap metal by the warriors, Leon suddenly reacted, rushed over and cut off the two pickaxe arms of the machine with two swipes, kicking it over.

He dispelled the Molten Sword Technique, sheathed the sword, turned around and ordered the soldiers to hold down the dwarf machine that had lost its "weapon".

It's better to keep one or two "alive" ones as trophies and drag them back to the Mage Tower to see if Laura can control this thing.

Autonomous robots.

And it's so flexible, and there's no operator. It would have been a very advanced thing in the previous life.

Is there some magical version of "artificial intelligence" program inside?

Leon looked at the machine that was tied up and dragged by the soldiers after falling to the ground, and its three legs were still jumping. He shook his head, walked to the edge of the cliff of the platform, raised his hand, and felt the magical connection in the dark.

A stream of light flew back to his hand from the abyss a hundred meters away.

Holding the Neti card and turning it over, Leon sighed as he looked at the slightly dimmed Soul card.

Cannis died again this time. I hope the memory of the two deaths did not bring any psychological trauma to the young master of the Wolf family.

Turning back to the alert army formation, the soldiers were bandaging several comrades who were accidentally injured, but the injuries were not fatal.

Those swarming three-legged constructs only had a fixed action logic and no combat wisdom. Although the two rigid pickaxe arms were amazingly powerful and could split gold and stone, their physical weaknesses were also obvious. After finding the trick, they might not be more dangerous to elite professional soldiers than human warriors of the same level. If there were not too many of them, there might not even be any injured just now.

Looking back, Leon looked at the remains of the golem that he and Larian had dealt with together.

The huge metal shell was still there, sounding the alarm.

Unfortunately, it was too big and too heavy, and he didn't know if it would explode like the previous one. Leon couldn't take it back as a trophy. It would be no fun if it exploded halfway.

Just as he was about to wait for the soldiers to regroup and leave as soon as possible, Leon saw Corvis running over and had something to say.

"My Lord, there, a cave was blown up where the golem exploded just now."

Corvis pointed to the base steps of the giant dwarf stone statue.

Cave?

Leon looked up.

The strange magma after the golem exploded melted a big hole on the steps they had just walked on. The crack of the rock that was burned red and not cooled down was particularly eye-catching in the dark.

Could it be? A word suddenly burst into Leon's mind.

Dwarf treasure! ?

Thinking of some classic fantasy movies he had seen in his previous life, he seemed to have a vision of the cave, and the light of a golden mountain of treasure would flash.

my precious!

"Let's go and take a look." Leon rubbed his hands, called his companions and guards, and walked cautiously towards the cave that was accidentally blown open.

After such a large-scale mobilization, they were tormented by those dwarf machines. If those dead dwarves didn't hide some treasures here, it would be too unreasonable.

At least they should give a "victory settlement" to show their appreciation.

Full of expectations, Leon walked cautiously to the hot cave entrance, took out the spirit lamp, and shone it inside.

"Is this a tomb?" Olivia also looked in curiously.

In the interior space extending diagonally in front, the dim light of the spirit lamp illuminated several rows of "sarcophagi" carved with Heraen-style patterns.

Leon suddenly felt a little disappointed.

In the gray and dusty space, except for these rows of coffins, there was no imagined gold and silver.

Of course, I don't know if there are any burial objects in these sarcophagi that are slightly shorter than human coffins.

But is it okay to rob a tomb?

Leon scratched his head. His sense of morality made him a little worried, but he changed his mind and let it go.

This is an ancient tomb from thousands of years ago, and it is not the deceased of the same era. Carefully preserve the remains of the tomb owner and take good care of the relics of the short man.

As the lord of this land and the real official government, how can this be called tomb robbery?

This is called archaeological excavation and rescuing cultural relics.

Ahem, the hole that was blown out is none of our business. It was the dwarf's creation that blew it up.

Leon felt that it was not the fault of outsiders like them. He had not yet asked the ancient dwarves for the medicine for the soldiers' injuries.

But you have to be careful when opening the coffin. There are dead souls in this world. If you rashly open the coffin of the dead, especially in the former cursed place like the Nightmare Forest, a row of "dwarfs" and vengeful spirits will jump out from it. Leon will not be surprised.

He was just about to let Corvis's flying sword go in to explore whether there are more mechanisms, when he suddenly heard the friction sound of the stone coffin lid moving.

? Really resurrected! ?

Leon quickly used the lantern to shine the source of the sound.

I saw that the lid of one of the sarcophagi not far from the cave was pushed aside by a large armored hand inside.

A big-faced man with a beard and wrinkles sat up straight from the sarcophagus.

Before Leon could use the green fluorescence of the lantern to see if it was a zombie, he found that the guy who looked like a dwarf dumpling had his left hand sticking out of the coffin, holding a thing that looked very familiar to him.

(Heraen's language)

"Damn it! Damn hairless demon bastards! You finally found it, go to hell!" Hem stared at the group of "possessed people", cursed, and raised the Molten Fire Pistol towards the strange human faces flashing with emerald green light outside the cave, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Bang——!

I**!

Leon immediately pulled everyone outside the cave away quickly.

A gunshot rang out, and a red flame trajectory passed in front of him and flew into the dark mine.
