Struggle in the Steam Age
Chapter 221: Stele
At the beginning of the action, Lawrence immediately summoned a flying monster phantom to act as a cover. Then the ghosts of goblins and kobolds were summoned and rushed upwards along the groove made in the stone wall just now.
Everything was normal at the beginning, but when the bear goblin phantom at the head climbed to about one person's height, the wild quilts who had stayed on the top of the cave flew towards the bear goblin phantom like a bomb. . Under this circumstance, Lawrence directed the monster phantoms to speed up and rush upwards.
Just when these phantoms rushed to the platform on the mountain wall, the group of wild quilts also swooped down from the top of the cave like a black torrent. This torrent easily destroyed the flying monster phantoms outside, and then went straight to the monster phantoms who had just climbed up the mountain platform.
Although the monster phantoms resisted desperately, they still seemed of little use in the face of tens of thousands of wild quilts. Especially these monster phantoms basically don't have any means of long-range attacks, so even if they fight hard to get rid of nearly ten times as many wild furnishings, they are finally submerged in the ocean of monsters.
"It feels like it's troublesome now." Saifeier said, holding the knight sword in his hand. "Although our opponent is not very strong this time, the number of enemies is too much."
"Now it is certain that there is a cave that is not deep behind the platform--" With only a little time before the ghosts of the monsters were all shattered, Lawrence discovered that there was a cave just behind the platform, which was not deep. , Belonged to be able to see to the bottom at a glance, Lawrence did not find any dangerous things in it.
"Then we will go straight into the cave after we arrive on the platform, right?" Saifei said after hearing what Lawrence said, "you are right, this is indeed a way. If we take turns blocking the entrance of the cave, , Maybe it can stop the little monsters flying inside."
"Yes, we rushed directly into the cave after we got on the platform for a while." Lawrence said to all the members of the team, and then showed everyone the ruby-studded gold ring on his right hand. "I have a wall of fire ring here. After I go in, I can use this thing to help everyone disperse the pressure."
"It would be great if this is the case." Zhu Yan said, and at the same time stuffed a bullet with a red-painted bullet into a magazine. "Because I'm in a cave now, I can't use too many weapons with heavy firepower. But this special incendiary bullet should be fine."
At this time, Safir and Okita Sakura also each took out a bottle and smeared the liquid in the bottle on the blade. After everyone was ready, several people waited quietly for ten minutes, until the wild quilts After flying to the top of the cave again, Okita Sakura was the first to rush to the platform along the groove on the rock wall, and Lawrence and the others followed behind.
Sure enough, after Okita Sakura first broke through the high security line, the group of wild quilts who had just settled down once again gathered together and swooped down. At this time, Lawrence used the distance between himself and the platform to shorten to within his casting range, and once again summoned the monster phantom.
After using those monster phantoms as meat shields to attract the attention of the wild gangsters, Lawrence took the opportunity to rush to the platform under the cover of Okita Sakura and Syfiel who had already boarded the platform. Then, under the cover of the two ladies, together with Zhu Yan, used bullets to help the two ladies and retreat.
When everyone retreated into the cave, Lawrence activated the ring in his hand to release the wall of fire technique. For an instant, a flame blocked the entrance of the cave like a waterfall.
Those wild quills were really afraid of flames, so when they saw a wall of fire rising from the entrance of the cave, most of them quickly fled in the opposite direction. Only a part of the rushing guys accidentally rushed into the wall of fire and burned into a ball of coke.
For example, a wild quilt full of fire went straight through the wall of fire and threw on Lawrence’s face like a flying rag. Fortunately, he turned his face to avoid this thing in time and didn’t hand in the first kiss of his life. .
"There is something hidden under the stone bed in the cave. That thing might be the target we were looking for." While maintaining the Fire Wall technique, Lawrence turned his head and glanced at the entire cave. It turned out that the cave seemed to have been converted into a cave before. He found a very simple living room, and his eyes with secret vision effects found a powerful magical reaction under the stone bed.
"Understood." After hearing Lawrence's words, Sakura and Okita rushed to the stone slab as the stone bed at the same time, and then stretched out their hands to grab the edge of the stone slab and lifted it upwards at the same time. The entire slab was lifted immediately, revealing what was originally pressed under the slab.
"The underside of the stone slab is full of strange words that I don't recognize." Before Lawrence had time to ask, Syfiel answered. "Then the ground covered by this stone slab is also carved with similar words, and these words seem to have been smeared with blood before."
"Is it under the floor?" Lawrence thought, looking at the magical aura that was still on the ground, and then said to Syfiel. "Can you check what is different about the most central location on that piece of ground?"
"Hey, why is there a half stone inlaid in the center of the ground?" After a few seconds, Syfiel, who had checked the ground carefully, let out a slightly surprised cry. "This stone stele is actually the same color as the surrounding stones, and the groove is also very close to the stone itself. At first glance, I didn't find the stone inlaid in the middle."
At this time, the cast of the wall of fire was about to end. Zhu Yan walked to Lawrence and took the ring in his hand and used the wall of fire again to drive away the wild quilt who had tried to rush up after seeing the flames extinguished, and Lawrence came Arrived at the side of the half-stone stele.
"What should we do next, just take out the stone tablet directly like this?" Syfel held the sword in both hands and looked at the stone tablet in front of him warily. As an extraordinary person with inheritance, she naturally knows that this extraordinary item fixed in a certain place is likely to be connected with some kind of trap.
"Unfortunately, we probably have to do this." Lawrence said helplessly after simply inspecting the stone inlaid into the ground and the surrounding slabs. "This stone stele is part of a certain magic system, as long as it is removed, it will trigger a trap."
"Can't you solve these traps?" Okita Sakura asked. "You are a spellcaster, and I don't think the magic system here as a whole is very complicated."
"You are right~lightnovelpub.net~ Lawrence said that he took out the crowbar from the space bag and was about to lift up the stone tablet." Although the people who set up the entire magic system and traps were not very strong, they were very clever. The whole system he set up is very simple in principle, but it takes a lot of time to solve the problem. "
"But the problem is that we don't have time now." Lawrence said and looked at Zhu Yan who was standing at the door. As a magic gunner, he could indeed use this kind of magic props, but the effect was not as good as Lawrence himself. From his flushing complexion, he knew that the wall of fire would not last long.
After saying that Lawrence used a crowbar to pry the stele fiercely, and the big stele was immediately lifted up. Obviously, the person who placed this half-stone stele did not fix this era on the floor at all.
"Let's go." Lawrence packed the half of the stele with a space bag and ran to the entrance of the cave with the two ladies. But when they hadn't finished the few steps from the cave to the entrance of the cave, a huge noise came in from outside the cave, and even the gravel on the top of the cave was shaken down.
At this time, Zhu Yan's maintenance of the fire wall technique at the door reached its limit. In the eyes of everyone, the fire wall blocking the door disappeared, and everyone immediately increased their vigilance to prepare for the impact. But what is strange is that Ye Yan, who was about to rush in just now, did not take advantage of this opportunity to rush in.
