The violent release of electricity had created a regional magnetic storm, and the power of magic had magnified the magnetic storm by a hundred times. Thousands of bats had formed a huge group of super-strong electromagnets in the air, and the magnetic field generated by their rotation was like countless invisible arrows sweeping through the entire corridor of the temple. At that moment, everyone felt a strong dizziness.
The strong magnetic field even caused a large area of strange black blocks in the corridor: it was a sign that space was distorted.
In the sweep of the magnetic field and electric current, the colossi burst into fine electric sparks, and then trembled and collapsed. The heavy stone statues fell to the ground, causing the entire pyramid to shake. Hao Ren squinted and tried to confirm the situation outside in the frenzied electromagnetic storm. He vaguely saw that the surface of the fallen colossi had dimmed, and the runes and lines were gradually extinguished, which should be a sign of a complete "shutdown".
Some faint translucent shadows emerged from the bodies of the colossi. 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 quickly disappeared from the corridor like the tentacles of some invisible creature.
Hao Ren blinked, not knowing if what he had just seen was an illusion.
The electromagnetic storm lasted only a few minutes, and then finally subsided, leaving only a pile of stone guards still trembling, and a husky who had been electrocuted.
Lily, with her exploding silver hair, pounced on Vivian, and a half-black, half-white tail stood up angrily behind her. "Did that Auster tell you that magnetism can generate electricity? Did he tell you that excessive electric current can kill people? "
Hessiana quickly went up to help Vivian. "Lady Vivian, step back! I'll block this mad dog! "
Hao Ren quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Hessiana, calm down. This is not the first time they have been like this. Lily, calm down too. Auster is studying electromagnetism. Faraday was the one who discovered magnetism to generate electricity. Besides, the lightning that Vivian just released was not magnetism to generate electricity …"
Y 'lisabet hugged Y' zaks head and whispered in his ear, "Sometimes I really don't know what's the point of Uncle Ren's counseling …"
But for an enraged husky, the content of the mediation did not matter much. Lily fluttered for a while before she calmed down. She tidied her hair and muttered, "I graduated from Peking University four times, of course I know this... I'm just annoyed that this bat doesn't know how to control her lightning storm..."
Vivian glared at Lily. "I controlled it! Moreover, Mr. Landlord had already cast a barrier to protect everyone. Who asked you to rush too far ahead and let me use an AOE attack on you? You should be thankful that I mainly released a magnetic shock this time. If it was pure lightning, your head would have been cooked! "
Lily was speechless.
Only then did Rollie carefully come out from behind Hao Ren. When the dumb cat first saw the colossus soldiers, she bravely went up to fight them. She also used her fangs and claws to cut off the head of a colossus soldier. But after seeing the number of enemies in the corridor, she immediately meowed and retreated. Only now did she dare to look ahead. She grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve and asked, "Big Boss Cat, is it safe now?"
"At least the enemies in the temple must be dead. Vivian's magnetic field was enough to cover the entire pyramid area." Hao Ren frowned and stepped forward. "Anyway, let's get out of here quickly. I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid we've disturbed something."
After the previous breakout, they were close to the exit of the pyramid temple. At this time, there were no colossus soldiers to stop them. It did not take them long to cross the stone blocks that had lost their ability to move and came to the square in front of the pyramid. The first thing that came into Hao Ren's sight was a dozen stone statues that had fallen in the open space.
The stone statues were a size larger than the statues inside the temple. Obviously, they were the guards on both sides of the pyramid trail. In fact, some of these stone statues had rushed into the pyramid temple and fell in the tunnel that Hao Ren and his team had broken out of. The guards left in the square may have been specially set up here. In case the guards in the temple failed to deal with the intruders, these colossus soldiers guarding the exit could take advantage of the intruders' relaxed state to give a fatal blow. Although Hao Ren doubted whether these colossus soldiers had this level of intelligence, it was possible that the makers of these guards had left a similar defense program in their stone heads.
It was just that the power of Vivian's magnetic storm was beyond imagination. Not only were the guards inside the pyramid temple wiped out in an instant, but even the colossus soldiers in the square outside were also deactivated.
At the edge of the square, there was a stone statue with a wolf head and a human body that had not been completely destroyed. Its rocky outer shell had been peeled off, revealing a pitch-black, obsidian-like inner shell. Intermittent runes and lines flickered on and off on the surface of its body, making it struggle to maintain a half-kneeling posture. Noticing that the intruders had come out of the temple unscathed, the last colossus soldier raised its head and raised its arm to point in the direction of Hao Ren.
Lily was holding back her anger and had nowhere to vent it. Seeing this, she roared and rushed up, creating a series of large pits on the stone pavement along the way. The colossus soldier was overturned by her cannonball impact and fell down with an earth-shattering sound. Then Lily raised her fist and rained down on the chest of the stone statue.
After a while, the stone statue stopped moving.
Hao Ren sighed and said, "The human-headed dog killed the kobold …"
Vivian looked a little embarrassed and said, "She seems to be angry."
"Nonsense, she treasures her tail the most. Look at what her tail looks like now — like it's roasted on fire."
"Do I have to apologize to her?"
"No, the husky has a bad memory. She'll forget in a while."
Vivian was speechless.
"These stone statues are very strange," Y 'zaks said in a muffled voice. "I feel that they have a unified command, which can be seen from their coordination — few self-disciplined golems can do this, and I didn't find much independent thinking ability of these stone statues during the battle."
Hao Ren nodded and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the ground under his feet trembling slightly.
"What is it now?!"
Hessiana could not help but change her expression. The previous battle had made her quite nervous, and the tremor at this moment gave her a very bad feeling.
"Meow?" Rollie looked up and then quickly climbed to a nearby pillar. The cat girl clung to the pillar, stretched her neck and looked into the distance, and then jumped down directly. "Big Boss Cat! Not good! More and more stone men are coming from all directions! "
Hao Ren immediately let the MDT fly into the air to provide reconnaissance, and the picture that came back made everyone gasp.
The lost ancient city was filled with smoke and dust, and a whirlpool of dust rose from every avenue. Countless black beast-headed statues, like an army out of a fairy tale, strode between the temples and palaces. Every avenue that could be seen was crowded with these huge golems!
There was no doubt that they were coming here!
"Holy moly … We have poked a stone nest!" Hao Ren could not help but be a little speechless, and then quickly glanced at everyone around him.
The Sacred Shield on everyone was still shining. This shield protected everyone from the ubiquitous red moonlight in the ancient city and also provided an additional layer of defense. However, the main role of this shield was to resist negative energy. In other words, it was an anti-magic shield, not a physical shield. In the battle against the stone soldiers, it could not play as big a role as imagined.
Vivian's electromagnetic storm was extremely lethal to the colossi, and Y 'zaks and Lily were strong enough to fight more than ten stone soldiers at the same time. Hao Ren's own guns were not a big problem to deal with one or two stone soldiers. As for the others, even the weakest Rollie could fight a stone soldier alone without losing …
However, if an entire city of golems came, then they had to consider a way out.
Even Vivian's electromagnetic storm consumed magic power!
Lily also knew what had happened at this time. She quickly ran over and asked, "Mr. Landlord! What should we do? Continue to fight? I think there are too many of them! "
"This is not good. Let's get out of here first!" Hao Ren quickly made a decision. "The stone soldiers are not moving fast. Mobile warfare is good for us, but once we are surrounded by them, we will be in big trouble. Vivian's electromagnetic storm is not infinite."
Vivian nodded and affirmed Hao Ren's statement. "I need at least 30 minutes to make the next electromagnetic storm."
Hao Ren had put away the plasma lance at this time. Instead, he held the inspector's gun in one hand and the magnetic oscillation bomb in the other. The magnetic oscillation bomb was very effective against these golems without magnetic shield protection, and the inspector's gun could definitely kill an enemy of this size in one shot. When fighting in the temple, because of the battlefield environment, he could not find a chance to use the psionic pistol, but in the open streets of the ancient city, he no longer had to worry about friendly fire.
"MDT! Provide navigation! "He looked up and shouted at the MDT.
"Where to?"
"The Grand Temple in the center of the city!"
"We still have to go to the Grand Temple?" Lily was stunned. "The stone soldiers are the temple guards. Shouldn't the Grand Temple in the center of the city be their lair?"
"No, I'm afraid it's the opposite …"
