As Lü Luo cursed, the giant foot stomped down.
Boom!
Steam blasted out, and Lü Luo's muscles took the brunt of the kick.
This gave the others a chance to take a breather and dodge the attack.
When Lü Luo retracted his strength, he saw the full appearance of the other party.
It was a stone statue.
The stone statue's appearance was very rough and ordinary. There was nothing gorgeous about it.
After being immersed in the river of time, even its eyes and nose were blurred.
However, this wasn't the problem. The problem was that it was too big!
The height of the stone statue was almost the same as the wall.
If the wall was 400 meters tall, then this thing was about 380 to 390 meters tall.
Of course, if it was just a giant stone statue, Lü Luo wouldn't have cursed.
The real reason why he cursed was that this stone statue didn't just take the initiative to attack them.
Moreover, it could speak, and its pronunciation was quite clear.
"Intruders! You must be killed. "
Rumble!
Just the act of bending down had already produced a strong rumbling sound.
The soldiers behind Lü Luo were so nervous that they couldn't speak. Their excellent qualities prevented them from running away at this time.
However, the pressure from the stone statue was still too great!
"Lü Luo!"
"It looks powerful, but it's actually not that powerful."
Lü Luo's words sounded like comfort, but they were actually the truth. The stone statue was just too big.
In terms of combat pressure, it was far inferior to the few monsters that Lü Luo had encountered before.
Just as the stone statue stretched out its hand, a giant tentacle appeared out of thin air.
The size of the tentacle was comparable to the stone statue's arm.
The stone statue whose arm was entangled finally stopped.
The stone statue looked at the tentacle, as if it couldn't understand what it was. Then, it looked at Lü Luo and the others. Its eyes flashed red as it spoke again.
"Intruders! You must die! "
After saying that, the stone statue raised its foot, and the pressure suddenly descended.
"Disperse!"
Bambusa Chinensis looked at Lü Luo worriedly. He didn't interfere anymore and quickly pulled Hitomi Hakuzuki to the side.
Such a monster could no longer be dealt with by normal weapons and equipment.
Boom!
Without Lü Luo to cushion the impact, the shockwave brought along with it a large amount of smoke and dust.
The small team of Blessed Breath was thrown off their feet by the impact of this kick.
However, its attack also gave Lü Luo an excellent opportunity to counterattack. This was because the stone statue's mobility was still very weak compared to Lü Luo's.
Steam Gear Five, Thunder Breath.
A flash!
Because there was no Fenrir, the ordinary standard greatsword simply could not withstand the current Lü Luo's slash. In the Lü Luo's hand, it flashed and shattered.
However, the sword had completed its mission.
Along with the high-speed cutting steam and the sharpness of the lightning, it slashed towards the stone statue's calf.
Ding Ding Ding Ding!
The slash continued to make sounds, and the statue's calf broke.
The stone statue, which could no longer stand on one leg, fell down with a rumble.
Boom!
The heavy fall caused the entire ground to tremble.
Lü Luo took out another sword, held the hilt with one hand, and began to run quickly on the statue's body.
Zap Zap Zap!
Wherever the blade passed, electricity would scatter. When Lü Luo ran to the top of the statue's head, the momentum had already reached its peak.
The momentum of the sword had been accumulated to the extreme. The white lightning mixed with the sword blade fell from the sky and instantly nailed the stone statue's head.
The lightning illuminated Lü Luo's face and also destroyed the statue's soul!
[Guardian of the Colossus Model 01. Seventh Grade Intelligent Mechanical Species, Guardian.
Attributes: Strength 500, Physique 250, Agility 25]
Lü Luo narrowed his eyes slightly. An ordinary Grade 7 mutant?
Its strength was not particularly strong, because this monster's weakness was very obvious.
However, what made Lü Luo more curious was that the Guardian Colossus was actually an Intelligent Mechanical Species. Was it man-made?
The people from the Circle Company were very calm. They already had a clear idea of how strong their boss was.
However, Kevin Jones did not. This was the first time he saw Lü Luo in action.
This was the first time he felt such powerful strength.
He could not believe that the person who displayed such strength was a young man about his age.
How in the world did he cultivate?
Even the most outstanding genius of the Empire's Bitter Emperor Academy could not have the strength of Lü Luo.
Lü Luo stood on the statue. For a moment, he actually did not know how to devour such a huge body.
Before he could try, the observer gave him another notification.
[Another one is coming!]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Colossus Watcher Model 02, Seventh Grade Lord.]
Lü Luo looked at the colossus that was slowly walking towards them, and his expression gradually became serious.
Of course, what made his expression serious was not as simple as a Grade 7 Great Lord.
He had seen plenty of mutants, even among the Eighth Grade Scourge Kings.
Therefore, no matter how powerful a Grade 7 mutant was, it would not make Lü Luo afraid.
However, the premise of all this was in a one-on-one situation.
And now, it was obviously not a one-on-one situation.
Behind the Colossus Type 02, there were many other colossi following closely.
As if they had been summoned, they all rushed towards Lü Luo's direction.
Or rather, they were rushing from the direction of the colossi that Lü Luo had killed.
[The situation is not good! This number is no longer something you can deal with.]
"It is indeed not good."
If Lv Luo had been alone, he'd have been able to deal with them. That was because the xenogeneics there were big.
Large size was often a flaw, so Lü Luo was not very worried.
However, just because he was not worried, it did not mean that the others were not worried.
Facing such a situation, Lü Luo could only make a retreat gesture to the others, indicating for them to return to the tunnel.
Lü Luo glanced at Kevin Jones from afar, although the two of them were very far away.
However, Kevin Jones could still feel Lü Luo's cold gaze.
Mr. Lü Luo seemed to be angry, which made him a little helpless!
"We, don't we need to bring Mr. Lü Luo back?"
Bambusa Chinensis looked at Kevin and shook her head coldly.
"No need."
To be honest, she did not like this fair-skinned man very much, because this man's body odor was very strong.
However, Lü Luo meant to keep an eye on him and try not to let him get hurt.
The person was not very important, but the person's identity and channels, as well as many other details, were very important.
Lü Luo needed these details, so Kevin could not die.
However, at this time, Lü Luo's perception of Kevin Jones had also decreased a lot.
After the surprise attack in the tunnel just now, as well as the Guardian Colossus in front of him, Lü Luo was sure of one thing.
That was, Kevin Jones was hiding something from them.
These two people came to the Fifth Ring area safely, so it was definitely not as simple as Kevin said.
There was no problem with the mutants along the way. They would attack humans normally.
If Lü Luo's side was not strong enough, they would have been killed by the monsters here.
Therefore, Lü Luo could be sure of one thing, they must be hiding some important information.
For example, information on how to avoid the monsters!
[Are you going to go back and torture that little Golden Retriever?]
"Let's deal with the situation in front of us first."
Lü Luo took out another sword. Without a suitable weapon, it was really a very painful thing.
There were no high-level alchemists in the Fourth Ring, and he did not want to go to Noah to get a new weapon.
Therefore, in terms of conventional combat, Lü Luo's attributes had slowly increased to close to the full value of Tier 5 after returning to the Fourth Ring, with all his attributes at 350.
However, because he did not have a suitable weapon, his actual combat ability did not increase greatly.
The current Lü Luo could fight explosive battles, but if it was a protracted battle, he could only use his fists or switch to Sequences most of the time.
Boom!
The Colossus Type 02 stopped in front of Lü Luo, and the expected attack did not appear.
The Colossus stared at Lü Luo, and its scarlet eyes seemed to be scanning Lü Luo's body structure.
While it was observing Lü Luo, Lü Luo was also observing the other party. The structure of this Colossus was much clearer than the previous one.
There were clothes carved on the body, and there were even certain muscle lines. At a glance, it was obvious that it was a more advanced product.
After scanning Lü Luo, the Colossus suddenly spoke:
"Intruder suspect eliminated, identity confirmed … Executor, Doomsday Disc Emissary, confirmed."
“？？？”
Lü Luo was a little surprised, but he roughly understood what the Colossus meant.
I'm not an intruder, so I won't be attacked anymore?
Then what is my identity?
"Executor?"
"Hello, I'm the Watcher Type 02. Lord Executor, what do you need?"
Why did the style suddenly change?
Lord Executor? Lü Luo remembered this name. After hesitating for a moment, he asked a question that he should not have asked.
"What does Executor mean? Why do you call me Executor? "
"Executor means the person who controls the Doomsday Disc and carries out the final order.
As the controller of the Doomsday Disc, you are naturally our Lord Executor. "
So it was because of the Doomsday Disc …
But there were a total of three discs?
"What about the Dawn Disc and the Truth Disc? Are they the same as me? "
"They are prisoners and guardians. The function of each disc is different, Lord Executor."
The function of each disc is different.
The Dawn Disc is the prisoner, the Truth Disc is the guardian, and I am the Executor.
It seems that there is quite a lot of hidden information about the discs.
"What are you doing here?"
"Guarding the high wall."
"What's outside the high wall?"
Lü Luo hoped that the Colossus could give him an answer, but unfortunately, the Colossus began to be confused.
"There's danger outside the high wall, very dangerous!"
"I'm asking, what's outside the high wall?"
"There's danger outside the high wall, very dangerous!"
Lü Luo was helpless.
"Okay, how many years have you been guarding here?"
"1023."
Lü Luo looked at the traces on the stone statue, mold, moss, and scratches from battle.
Many things indicated their antiquity.
"Why are you guarding here?"
"This is the order of our Lord, and also our responsibility. Guarding is the responsibility of the Guardian."
Stone statues that have guarded for a thousand years …
Although they were stone statues, they were still Intelligent Mechanical Breeds.
In a sense, intelligent machines were already complete life forms.
For a complete life to guard this place for a thousand years was truly something worthy of admiration, and it was also something that made one sigh with emotion.
"You are amazing guards. I apologize for my actions just now."
Lü Luo was talking about his actions of killing the Colossus just now.
However, the 02 in front of him didn't think so. It shook its head.
"You don't have to apologize. Its death is deserved.
After a thousand years, not all Colossus can maintain their original minds.
It has been corrupted by time, just like Alea in the past. It has given up the covenant that we abide by in our hearts.
It has become a complete mutant. "
Lü Luo narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Alea? Who is that? "
"She has many, many names. I think you should have heard of some of them.
For example, Stonemother, Mother Earth, Rock King, Buddha, and so on.
However, her original name was Guardian of the Colossus 01-Alea. "
Lü Luo was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard the origin of Stonemother, and it was a very detailed origin.
This added to his previous information about Stonemother.
Whether it was Noah or Nightmare, their origins had a complete channel and source.
Only Stonemother's birth was very abrupt and strange, as if it had jumped out of a crack in the stone.
Lü Luo had also thought before whether the earth that was exposed to dark energy would give birth to a monster like Stonemother.
But thinking about it carefully, it was not very possible. It was a little too ridiculous to say that it was directly born from the earth.
Now that he heard the explanation of the Colossus, Lü Luo felt that it was much more reasonable.
"So Stonemother is also a member of the Colossus!"
"Yes, Alea was once one of us, but she betrayed us.
She was bewitched by Noah and became a fallen mutant. "
Lü Luo nodded. No wonder Stonemother was so close to Noah. It turned out that Stonemother had been bewitched by Noah.
Lü Luo could understand if he thought about it carefully.
That was because Stonemother was not a deformed mutant, but a gigantic intelligent machine.
Since it was the same type of intelligent machine as Noah, as the king of intelligent machines, Noah naturally had a huge advantage against Stonemother Alea.
However, this also allowed Lü Luo to understand one thing.
No matter when or where, as long as it was still in the category of living creatures, it would not remain the same.
As a member of the Guardian of the Colossus, Stonemother had the responsibility of guarding the Fifth Ring.
It would still change because of Noah's bewitchment.
The betrayal of an Eighth Grade Guardian would bring about changes to the environment within the wall.
This situation should not have been the original intention of the creator of this place!
"Lord Guardian, you said that it is very dangerous outside. Then can you tell me what is outside?"
The Colossus finally hesitated for a moment.
"There are rivers in the world outside the wall! There are also mountains. "
Lü Luo immediately realized what the rivers the Colossus spoke of were.
It was said that the power of the Nightmares and the power of Hellblaze came from the River Styx, and the River Styx existed outside the walls of the Fifth Ring.
If there really was a river within the Fifth Ring, then could this river be the legendary River Styx?
"I understand. Then, Lord Guardian, if I want to go out, can you let me through?"
"It is very dangerous outside."
"I know it is, but I am a human!
I have never left this place, and humans do not have such a long lifespan.
The inside of the wall is no longer the same as before. Too many things have changed in a thousand years.
That is why I want to go out and take a look at this world. I want to see what the outside world is like. "
The Colossus could not understand what Lü Luo meant.
In his mind, the outside world was too dangerous. Anyone who stepped into the River Styx would die.
If that was the case, then why not just stay here? Why did he have to go out?
"Why do you have to go out?"
[Because I am the executor.]
When Lü Luo saw this sentence, he was slightly taken aback.
This tone was obviously not prompted by The Observer. Did the Doomsday Circle take the initiative?
Then he repeated his words:
"Because I am the executor."
When the Colossus heard Lü Luo's words, he seemed to understand what Lü Luo meant.
"I understand, Lord Executor. You can go outside the wall now."
"Thank you, Mr. Watcher."
The exchange between the two sides was relatively pleasant. After a short conversation, Lü Luo finally obtained the permission of the Colossus Guardian.
Now he had to face a choice. To go or not to go!
…
After returning to the underground passage, Lü Luo first came in front of Kevin Jones.
The tentacles that suddenly appeared directly wrapped around Kevin.
"Mr. Kevin, is there anything missing from what you told me before?"
"Eh? No, I have said everything that needs to be said. "
Kevin's expression was a little frightened because Lü Luo did not restrain his somewhat threatening aura at this time.
The pressure brought to Kevin by the Sequence Power made his legs and stomach tremble.
"Mr. Kevin, do you really think I'm a fool? Or do you think my temper is really good? "
Bang!
On the Devourer's tentacles, a huge and sharp mouth appeared in front of Kevin.
"Miss Lin Wen is still in the Circle's base. If Mr. Kevin unfortunately dies, Miss Lin Wen will be very sad."
Lü Luo's voice was calm and cold, but Kevin was really flustered. He seemed to really know nothing.
Purple Nightmare Power appeared in Lü Luo's pupils. When Kevin and Lü Luo looked at each other, he felt a strong sense of suffocation.
"What are you hiding from me?"
Lü Luo asked calmly again. Kevin Jones shook his head.
"I … didn't hide anything."
Lü Luo frowned slightly. Didn't hide anything? That's impossible!
If Kevin didn't hide anything, then how did they pass through these layers of danger?
Lin Wen?
In Lü Luo's mind, a chubby woman with a face full of freckles suddenly flashed past.
Lü Luo had been neglecting her before.
Because Kevin was a Third Grade Transcendent, and Lin Wen was a very ordinary person.
This made Lü Luo subconsciously think that the two of them could enter the wall.
The person who played the main role would definitely be Kevin Jones, who was a Transcendent.
This was the thought process that all Transcendent would have.
But if the person with the problem was really Lin Wen, then he had been going in the wrong direction from the beginning.
The weak Lin Wen might have some way to avoid the monsters, or some treasure to avoid the monsters.
"Does Miss Lin Wen have any way to avoid the monsters?"
"I don't know."
"When you were with her, did you encounter any danger that you couldn't defend against?"
"No."
Kevin's eyes were still blank, and he answered many of Lü Luo's questions in a daze.
But the results weren't satisfactory.
Bambusa Chinensis and Gu Fangyi silently watched Lü Luo interrogate Kevin.
When the interrogation ended, Bambusa Chinensis slowly opened his mouth.
"Do we need to give up on this mission?"
After the interrogation, Bambusa Chinensis and the others already knew what Lü Luo meant.
When Lin Wen and Kevin came, they had the ability to avoid danger.
But they didn't have these abilities now.
The world outside the wall was very likely the legendary dangerous River Styx.
There was no river or sea inside the wall. If there really was River Styx outside the wall of the fifth ring, it would be a problem for this group of people to cross the river.
Even if they relied on some methods to cross the river, what about the dangers that might appear later?
A group of 200 people was too big of a target.
If something really happened, even if Lü Luo was strong, he might not be able to take care of so many people.
So, should they give up?
Lü Luo put Kevin down and retracted his Power of Nightmares.
When Kevin woke up in a daze, Lü Luo had already made a decision!
"This kind of equipment, this kind of team, this kind of preparation.
If we are still afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind after reaching this stage, then we don't need to consider the world outside the wall.
Alright, the Colossi won't stop us anymore. Let's go!
Mr. Kevin, let's go quickly. I still hope that you can lead the way when we reach the Empire. "
Looking at Lü Luo and the others who had already started moving, Kevin followed in a daze.
He felt that something had just happened, but he didn't know what had happened.
"Wait for me, Mr. Lü Luo."
Without the obstruction of the Colossi, Lü Luo and the others quickly climbed up the high wall!
Standing on the fifth high wall that was wrapped in vines, Lü Luo's gaze became deep.
"It's so beautiful, Lü Luo!" Bambusa Chinensis couldn't help but praise.
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
Lü Luo also nodded.
With the fifth high wall as the fulcrum, the entire area inside the wall was shrouded in dense dark clouds.
However, the weather outside the wall was a clear sunset.
When the setting sun shone on everyone's faces, they all felt that it was unreal.
"This is probably our new starting point.
How about we just call this the Wall of Starting Point? "
Hitomi Hakuzuki's suggestion seemed good, and the others agreed.
Only Lü Luo's expression was a little strange.
"Starting point? Why don't … we change it! "
