A 64-sided sentinel robot floated in the air, shooting laser beams in all directions. It fell to the ground with thick smoke rising from its body. Its originally smooth and sturdy surface was now full of potholes and scars, as if it had been hit by countless hammers from every angle. Ibuki Suika swayed the wine gourd in her hand as she walked over. As she walked, she muttered, "Ahhhhh, how many waves has it been? Are these annoying things going to stop?"
"Compared to the scale of the ruins, the number of guards that have appeared now is already considered small. More than half of them are probably broken. " Uncle Zaku blew at the barrel of the giant pistol that was already burning hot. He grinned as he looked at us. "Hey, don't forget what you said just now. When we get back, you have to explain what is going on with you guys! Is there anyone who can send a five-ton robot flying in one round and let it crash through twelve alloy gates?! "
"I know, I know. Uncle, you are such a long-winded fellow."
Milia muttered as she followed behind Zaku. Faint blue light particles were floating around her body. As she didn't want to watch the show from the sidelines, the little girl volunteered to join the battle. Her Mobrado-style witchcraft was pretty good. The dazzling lightning embellished the battlefield that was forcefully demolished by a group of violent people. As it turned out, it was impossible for a smurf like her to steal kills from a rogue like Icetis.
We had been moving forward in the underground ruins for almost an hour, but we still hadn't reached the core area. It wasn't because Sandora couldn't scan the core area, but because the ruins guards kept appearing on the road and obstructed our footsteps. Although the war machines left behind by the ancient civilization could be easily taken care of by our party, they were still very annoying.
The path that the tourists of the Empire forced demolition party advanced on was covered with the broken remains of the ancient ruins guards.
The scale of this ruin was also a little out of everyone's expectations. The information that Luna had accidentally heard from the trading market actually pointed to such a huge underground structure. This could only be said to be too dramatic. We deduced that this place should be a refuge during the end of the ancient civilization. Structurally, it had a very large and complete residential area. Each residential area had many independent cubicles, obviously to accommodate a large number of refugees. It had three ventilation systems. One was connected to the surface, which was the most common underground bunker construction method. This ventilation system was still in operation. The second ventilation system circulated within the entire building. It should be an emergency self-sustaining plan after the main ventilation system was destroyed. The third ventilation system was disconnected. It extended along the underground bunker for a few kilometers to the east before it was cut off by a stratum fracture. My sister guessed that it should be connected to another refuge.
What was noteworthy was that this refuge that was supposed to accommodate civilians actually had a very strong defense mechanism. Nearly a third of the residential area was piled up with countless weapons and war robots. There were even sentry cannons that were still in operation in the corridors. These layers of weapons were like a nuclear radiation shield installed in the residential buildings. It seemed out of place in this residential refuge. This could only mean one thing: when the ancient civilization was on the verge of destruction, they encountered an attack from the outside world. The enemy kept suppressing them to the surface, and then to the underground. Facing the invasion step by step, they could only fill the refuge with defensive weapons, even though it was only a means of psychological comfort. For a civilization that had developed to the stage of space, digging underground bunkers to take refuge was the end of the road. This meant that the entire civilization was facing a disaster. For a space civilization, the protection of an underground bunker was negligible.
* Boom boom boom — *
* Bang! *
A sentry cannon that suddenly popped out of the ground and fired crazily was smashed into a big pancake by the Grimoire that Bryndis casually threw out, and the cannon burst into a bright firework in the air. The female rogue even had the time to sigh, "Sigh, it's really unpleasant to destroy the historical relics of a civilization bit by bit like this. Ilson, in the name of the Holy Light, hurry up and destroy this place. "
In her mind, the way to solve the psychological burden of the process of committing a crime was to quickly complete the process of committing a crime.
With Icetis as the leader and the four accomplices of the Protoss Bar, we advanced very quickly. It could be said that if it was not for the fact that we did not want to destroy such a precious ruin, Lin must have planned to use the shortest route between two points to directly smash through all the walls to rush to the core area. Uncle Zaku and the other two who originally wanted to help fight the monsters quickly realized that in this situation, there was no need for them to do anything. In other words, they did not even have the chance to do anything. And the twenty or so calamities that followed us here only had the chance to clean up the battlefield. Fortunately, the latter basically came out with the mentality of a tourist, and they maintained a high degree of calmness when they failed to snatch the monsters.
The golden bow in Icetis's hands blinded a pair of Khorium dog eyes. The moment she pulled the bow and nocked the arrow, she revealed a trace of the heroic and gentle beauty of a hunting goddess. But every time she hit her target, she would shout "I am the boss!", which really ruined her image. And what was even more amazing was her unique skill of switching bricks at any time while shooting. I personally witnessed a "Sea Urchin" robot sentinel being accurately nailed to the wall by her, and immediately after, it was smashed into a pancake by a flying brick. It was obvious that this female rogue had integrated the brick-throwing technique into her daily combat skills. She had elevated the brick-throwing technique to the level of a combo ultimate skill. This put a lot of pressure on me, who could not even use Tortoise Punch well.
In the end, no one was able to determine whether it was the holy arrow or the brick that ensured everyone's rapid advance.
Everyone quickly rushed to the vicinity of the central area of the ruin. The scan showed that after passing through two isolation doors, we would reach the central area of the underground cavern. It was also the place where the energy reaction was the most active. If there was anything of the highest value in this ruin, it would undoubtedly be here.
Uncle Zaku was like a newbie who followed a large team to pick up experience. At this time, he keenly smelled the scent of the end. He decisively took four or five steps back and smiled at us shamelessly. "You guys go, I will cover you."
"The energy reaction in front is standard psionic energy. I am afraid that there is a weapon of the Empire guarding it." Sandora reminded us. Pandora and Visca immediately began to check the ship cannon in their hands. I had a premonition that this ancient ruin might not be able to be preserved. Jingle, who had been lying in my pocket with only her head peeking out curiously as Icetis smashed and looted the place, tugged on the button next to her (she used this as a doorbell). "Ah Jun, there are still no signs of life. Also, other than the area near the entrance, there are no signs of life here. No one has lived in this ruin since it was built. It was abandoned when it was first built."
Oh, so this little thing wasn't just a bystander along the way?
There were no traces of residents in the ancient ruin. Even the residential areas were not in a state of use. We didn't find any corpses. Of course, considering the age of this place, even if there were corpses, they would have already turned to dust. However, Jingle didn't even sense any signs of life. This was a little strange. This meant that the ruin had actually not been used since it was first built.
Uncle Zaku heard a soft voice coming from my pocket. Only then did he notice a certain little head that was looking around. He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "This summoned beast is really unique!"
Jingle was instantly enraged. She waved her lollipop stick and shouted, "You are the summoned beast! Everyone in your family has summoned beasts! Jingle is going to bite you! Jingle is really going to bite you! "
Although she was usually happy to play the role of a pet, if an outsider really treated her as a pet, this little thing would definitely fly into a rage. Uncle Zaku was undoubtedly an outsider in Dingdang's eyes. Therefore, Uncle Zaku received the righteous punishment. He had no choice but to complete today's expedition with a head full of green foxtails.
"I'm afraid that the founder of the ruin didn't even have the time to escape." Liliana glanced at Uncle Zaku, who was panicking and pulling out more and more weeds from his head. She said indifferently, "This is the last door. Who's going to be the vanguard?"
As soon as Liliana's voice faded, we heard two loud explosions. Pandora and Visca had already blown up the seemingly indestructible alloy door at the end of the corridor. The cat eyed loli looked at Liliana in confusion and asked, "What did you just say?"
Liliana smiled embarrassedly and said, "I shouldn't have thought about this!"
When the door of the core area of the ruin was blown open, I seemed to feel that something was gradually waking up. The psionic reaction was getting stronger and stronger, so Pandora and Visca switched to a larger caliber cannon. However, in order to prevent them from blowing up the ruin, my elder sister stopped them from shooting again. The smoke and dust in the corridor blocked the vision of ordinary people, but it could not block the perception of spirit power. On the other side of the door, there was something watching us, the intruders.
But there was no attack.
Although I didn't think that there was anything on this small planet that could hurt us, a group of extra-terrestrial creatures, Sandora still activated her energy shield to protect the weakest people here, Miriya and her family of three. Ilson, as high-quality cannon fodder, was pushed to the front by his sister. We followed behind and entered the core hall.
What appeared in front of us was an enormous circular hall with a radius of several hundred meters. The hall was filled with strangely shaped and complicated machines. Energy pipes and cables were intertwined on the ground like webs, and the gate that we were standing in was the only entrance to the circular hall. But the most eye-catching thing here was something in the center of the hall.
An extremely complicated restraining device extended from both the ceiling and the floor. It looked like two giant hands that were intertwined together, firmly restraining a Xi Ling single-soldier fighter aircraft in the middle of the hall. Countless pipes and cables of unknown purposes were entangled around the fighter aircraft, extending through the gaps in its external armor. I could feel weak energy flowing through these pipes.
"Blue light …" Uncle Zaku swallowed hard. "This is the Holy Ruin … This is something created by the Sage himself!"
The ancient civilization ruins and the Holy Ruin had one thing in common, which was the existence of psionic machines (the Mobrador natives called psionic energy the Blue Light. Even the ancient machines and modern replicas that used psionic energy were called the Blue Light). Because the ancient civilization was a super advanced civilization that inherited the Sage's technology, psionic machines were very common in their ruins. The way to distinguish between the two ruins was to see if there was an object created by the Sage himself. Although the ancient civilization inherited a lot of the Sage's technology, there was still an insurmountable gap between the psionic machines that they imitated and the machines created by the Sage himself. It was very easy to distinguish between the two.
Once an ancient civilization had an object created by the Sage himself, it would be labeled as the Holy Ruin, and ordinary people would be prohibited from exploring it.
Shadora furrowed her brows and stared at the bound imperial fighter without blinking. Then, she walked forward in large strides.
"Hey! Come back! "Uncle Zaku immediately shouted from behind." We have to retreat! This is the Holy Ruin, it's not a place for ordinary people! "
Baruna also added, "According to the church's rules, we have to leave this place immediately and report the location of the Holy Ruin to them. Let's go, we have gained enough this time. "
"You can leave by yourselves." Sandora said without turning her head. Her voice was calm and firm. Although it was just an ordinary sentence, it instantly made people think that it was not a suggestion, but an order.
"Hey …" Uncle Zaku was stunned by the sudden change in her arrogant tone, but he still wanted to say something. However, he only said one word, and Sandora's action completely stunned him.
"Whoosh — Huala —" Sandora casually tore the cables and pipes that were entangled on the fighter as if they were made of paper. Without saying anything, Pandora and Visca also went up to help. Almost in the blink of an eye, those seemingly indestructible restraints were almost destroyed. Seeing the Holy Ruin, which should have been regarded as an absolutely sacred object, being so violently destroyed, Uncle Zaku and Baruna's faces suddenly changed. They rushed up to stop and shouted, "Hey! You are crazy! This is the Holy Ruin! You want to be chased by the church's knights … "
"Boom!!"
A sudden explosion and the subsequent shock wave that almost sent people flying interrupted their panicked shouting. The place where Sandora and Pandora were standing was suddenly shrouded in the thick smoke of the explosion. The air was filled with the pungent smell of metal evaporation. Lin quickly summoned a gust of wind to blow away the smoke. What made people relieved was that the three girls who were in the center of the explosion were safe and sound.
A light blue joint shield protected Sandora and the two girls inside. The powerful energy explosion just now did not even cause a ripple on the shield. Half of Sandora's body was already shrouded in black smoke. Huge Abyssal Claws replaced the girl's slender and delicate arms, emitting an unsettling aura of destruction. She raised the claws in her hands and gently waved them. A large piece of Interstellar Alloy plate that was almost rotten fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Pandora and Visca raised the battleship cannon in their hands and pointed to the front. There, a quarter of the Schilling single-soldier battleship had been torn away.
The silver-white battleship was floating a hundred meters away. Three of the three anti-gravity engines had been extinguished, and the remaining one was also making an abnormal hoarse roar. The blue energy shield of the battleship was flickering. It was useless now. Just now, Sandora had destroyed the ancient battleship's protection system in an instant. If it was not for its strong mobility, it would have been torn to pieces by now.
The sudden change of events made Uncle Zaku and the other two people petrified. They looked at the slowly patrolling single-soldier fighter aircraft and the golden-haired noble girl who had already become inhuman. After a long while, they murmured to themselves, "This … this … the creation of the sages has actually moved … it has actually been blocked … this …"
Uncle Zaku's words were incoherent. His expression was distorted, and his mind was obviously in a mess. Beside him, Luna, who had always been calm and serious, had a similar expression. The two onlookers who did not know the truth were extremely shocked. First, they were shocked that the Sage's creation could actually move on its own. Under normal circumstances, the Sage's creation could only be activated with great difficulty by a very high-level clergy. Moreover, they might not be able to control it. Then, they were shocked that the Sage's creation could start a war with people indiscriminately. Finally, the most shocking thing was that the three girls had used only a blue light to block all the attacks from the ancient weapon. If there was no problem with the retina, that barrier was just like the purest "blue light"!
Of course, they also paid appropriate attention to Sandora's claws. However, when they saw that there were all kinds of things in our group, such as tails, wings, and horns, Uncle Zaku's nerves had obviously evolved into some kind of very strong and special material. He was not surprised by this.
"Invaders … eliminated … weapons … not enough …"
The single-unit fighter aircraft was cautiously patrolling a hundred meters away. The heavy losses it suffered during the exchange of fire had made it make the judgment to be careful. The intermittent sounds that came from inside the aircraft seemed to indicate that it had already fallen into a state of confusion.
"Ka ka." Pandora adjusted the psionic cannon in her hands and aimed at the fighter aircraft, ready to fire. Meanwhile, Sandora looked at the ancient weapon that should have been a soldier of the Empire with a complicated expression. She said in a low voice, "I repeat, report your serial number."
Sandora's voice also echoed in the public information link. That was because we could not be sure if the pilot of this single-unit fighter aircraft (if there was one) still had the ability to hear. However, her question was only met with a bright psionic ray. The remaining machine gun on the left side of the single-unit fighter aircraft fired an attack. However, it was casually waved away by Sandora's giant abyssal claw. The scattered psionic ray bombarded the machines nearby, instantly causing a series of explosions in the hall.
"Boom!" Pandora and Visca finally did not wait any longer. The cannon in their hands spewed out violent energy beams. As they could aim, the two energy beams flew past the two wings of the enemy. However, half of the single-unit fighter aircraft was instantly melted by the attack of the Commander-level fighter aircraft. It did not even have the time to dodge. After letting out a distorted electronic sound, it fell to the ground. In the next few seconds, everyone witnessed how great the danger that the Pandora sisters posed when they were out of control. The entire ruins began to collapse.
