Forty-eighth palm barbaric investigation
As soon as we dodged from the courtyard wall, we saw a huge fireball flying out from the inside of the courtyard wall. This time we could clearly confirm that the other party was attacking us, because the fireball turned a bend close to 90 degrees after flying over the courtyard wall and quickly pressed towards the ground, and then exploded directly among the crowd of people on our side.
This fireball was obviously a feeder version. After landing, it was like a bombshell. With a bang, a big hole was blown open on the ground. We stood around and were directly overturned to the ground. After a few turns, we could slightly stabilize our bodies.
"Go back, back!" As soon as I got up from the ground, I shouted at the surroundings: "Jingjing comes here and block it first!"
As soon as I finished calling, I saw a huge fireball flying out of the courtyard wall. Jingjing rushed up with a holy shield, and then took the initiative to hit the fireball. With a loud bang, Jingjing was directly bombarded from mid-air, but the power of the fireball was indeed blocked.
Taking advantage of the time that Jingjing had won us, the people on our side quickly retreated down the mountain and soon left the courtyard wall at a distance of more than 200 meters. Although several fireballs flew out there, they could only fly in a straight line after fifty meters out of the courtyard wall. It was obvious that the opponent's control range was fifty meters outside the courtyard wall. If they were farther away, they could only let the fireballs fly according to inertia.
We were so embarrassed before, because the opponent was surprised, and because the opponent's fireball was controllable, the flight angle was very strange, and we had no way to dodge. However, as long as the opponent's fireball was no longer controlled, it was not a problem. A fireball that could only fly in a straight line could easily dodge, and this kind of fireball also lost its ability to explode. Unless it hits something, it would fly down until the internal magic loses control and self-destruction.
The other party obviously knew that his control range was limited. After we withdrew from the 200-meter range, we just tentatively put a few more fireballs and stopped the attack. We did not dare to check the damage until this time.
Fortunately, although the opponent's fireball caught us off guard, we were not fools. When the fireball burst, everyone had already reacted, so basically they were just shocked by the shock waves generated by the flames and did not cause much damage. If there was any damage, the most serious thing might be that Christina hit her head when she fell, but except for the pain, there was no big problem.
"Damn, this place seems to be a forceful attack! We were discovered before we even entered. It seems impossible to get in!" Zhenhong said with some concern.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it for now. We will take a break as planned, but the investigation must be done."
"The other party clearly knows where we are. How to investigate?" Zhenhong asked.
I smiled and said, "Satellites in developed countries are still investigating on the heads of other countries. When did you see the satellites being shot down?"
"Oh, I understand, can I use super high altitude detection?"
"No, no need this time."
“Eh…?”
I did not directly answer Zhenhong's words. Instead, after reaching the edge of the Soul Well, I used a few psychic crystals to temporarily unseal myself for a short period of time, and then took the opportunity to spread my army of ghost insects out. In Zhenhong's surprised gaze, I looked at the temple on the top of the mountain and said, "I plan to use cover-type reconnaissance this time."
"I have to say that sometimes your move is really hard to defend against!" Christina said, looking at the insects all over the mountains.
Although the attack power of ghost insects is so small that it can be ignored, these guys' attributes are really fucked. When they enter the spirit mode, they can ignore physical attacks and pass through walls and pass through visual obstacles. Conversely, when they transform into physical mode, their bodies are diamond-like, and their defense will enter a very terrifying state. To kill them requires a very powerful attack, and this kind of attack is often impossible to do with the magic of face killing. Because the magic of face killing is the place.
Because it looks wide in scope and powerful, it is because for humans' targets with a size, the damage covered by the body has exceeded its own resistance limit. But ghost bugs are different. These little guys are too small, so if they are range killing magic, the damage concentrated on them is actually very small, but these guys have amazing defense, so these little things have a very annoying feature. That is, they can almost ignore most range magic.
Of course, although range magic cannot kill ghost insects, single magic and physical attacks can kill them. But... how long do you plan to kill them one by one when millions of bugs charge together? Don't forget that these little guys are not as big as the mouse you have in your hand. It is not an easy thing to accurately hit such a small target.
Now I plan to use ghost bugs to bully the boss imprisoned in the temple and is too busy. If the other party has many helpers... no, no, even if he has many subordinates, it is probably not enough to face the million-unit ghost bug army on my side. Just the area of the temple, even if it is stuffed like canned sardines, it can only be filled with five or six thousand people at most. There are millions of ghost bugs on my side, and the other party is absolutely too busy.
The army of ghost insects that I scattered out quickly formed a large encirclement around the temple. Then, as my thought flashed, all the ghost insects immediately began to charge into the temple.
Sure enough, the boss inside obviously didn't want us to go in. Before the ghost insect reached the wall, they saw a large piece of fireballs flying out of the temple over there. After the fireballs flew out, they immediately fell to the ground and covered a large area of ghost insects. However, after the fireballs dispersed, there were only seven or eight ghost insects that died. The ghost insects on the outside were just overturned. There was nothing wrong with getting up, and they still rushed forward. The charging method of these little guys was too fierce. They lined up a scattered scattered array of scattered soldiers to charge wildly. They didn't know what fear was. Although the opponent's fireballs were very fast and could appear together every time, they could actually kill more than a hundred ghost insects every time. This number was really negligible compared to the total number of ghost insects here.
Because the other party's blocking method obviously could not intercept such a large group of ghost insects. So my army of ghost insects quickly approached the wall, and then these small things began to divide the labor. Among them, most of the ghost insects began to climb up the wall, while a small number of ghost insects began to dig holes on the spot and quickly drilled into the soil.
The ghost bugs that climbed up the courtyard wall soon arrived at the top of the wall, and then the ghost bugs began to divide their troops again. Some of them jumped off the courtyard wall and began to advance along the ground. The other part simply spread their wings on the top of the courtyard wall and flew up, as if groups of small reconnaissance planes were shuttled back and forth in the temple.
Seeing a large group of ghost insects rushing into the temple, I immediately began to use the perspective of ghost insects to observe the situation inside the temple. First, I saw the general situation inside the temple from a ghost insect on the courtyard wall, and then switched my sight to a ghost insect flying in the air, and then I quickly got a top view inside the temple.
Judging from the information given by the ghostworm, the area of this temple is not very large. The interior is also ordinary, but the temple has no gates and the courtyard wall is completely closed and there is no opening at all. The courtyard wall is an open space and there are no plants. Inside it is a circle of houses arranged in hexagonal shapes, and the interior may be a Buddhist temple or something.
There are four houses in the middle of this circle of houses. These four houses are tall, and you can see a little roof from the outside. In fact, if the temple is built on a flat ground, we can see most of the buildings inside outside. The key is that the temple is built on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding ground is shorter than the foundation of the temple, so the courtyard wall blocks most of our sight. However, because the four buildings are relatively tall, a roof can still be seen even at this angle.
There is also a building in the inner circle of these four buildings. This is a very large building, which should be a main hall or something. However, no ghost insects have entered the interior yet, so I don’t know what these houses do.
Actually, what I really care about now is not those houses. But what exactly attacked us just now. I want to know in advance what kind of creatures we are going to face and what attack methods the other party has. This will be of great help to our subsequent battles, because knowing the opponent's attack mode can be targeted in advance, which can not only reduce our damage, but also suppress and kill the other party more effectively.
With the help of the ghost bug's sight, I kept switching in all directions in the temple. Most people would probably feel dizzy if this method was made, because those ghost bugs invaded at the same time from all directions of the temple, and the positions of each ghost bug are different. Therefore, when constantly switching sight, I feel that the pictures in front of me are always jumping randomly. In this case, if the vestibular function and optic nerve function are slightly worse, they will have reactions similar to motion sickness. However, I do not have this problem, so I can switch these pictures at will to find the pictures I need.
Soon, during the switching process, I finally found a swimming ghost bug. When this guy just climbed to the top of a building, he saw fireballs flying out from the front door of the hall in the center of the temple. As soon as these fireballs came out, they immediately flew along the gap between the buildings toward the courtyard wall, and then fell to the ground and burst quickly.
Although the ghost bug did not see the attacker, at least we now know where the fireball came from.
Under my control, the ghost insect immediately flew towards the building in the center of the temple, and at the same time I switched my mind to another magic pet dart.
During the process of the ghostworm flying, the dart jumped onto the courtyard wall in advance, and then flashed to the top of the outermost row of buildings, which was the location of the ghostworm I controlled before. After confirming the direction here, the dart jumped off the building immediately, and then instantly arrived near the second circle of buildings and flashed past, directly outside the innermost building. However, just when the dart was about to rush in, it suddenly bumped into something and bounced out directly. Just as the dart hit the thing, we all saw a golden spherical luminous body appeared in the center of the temple. This luminous body was quite large. It seemed to wrap the entire central hall. However, this thing is usually invisible and will flash when touched.
After the dart hit, it immediately bounced from the ground, and the light curtain disappeared quickly. However, just as the dart was about to go around another direction to study, a row of seven fireballs suddenly flew out of the hall. Then it radiated into a circle around the dart. The other party obviously planned to block all the movement directions of the dart, hoping that it could be done at once. However, this guy really underestimated the speed of the dart. After the fireball appeared, the dart flashed immediately, and then reached the top of a building on the second circle.
The opponent obviously did not expect that the dart was so fast. The fireball's temporary turn was a little late. Two fireballs hit the ground and exploded. Only five fireballs were pulled up again and flew towards the dart. However, even an emergency turn was useless. The darts could move at the speed of light, and the speed of the fireball was not even the speed of sound. It would be strange if it hits the ball. After chasing behind the dart for several times, three fireballs mistakenly hit the building. Two were exploded by the suicide attack of the ghost insect in mid-air. All seven fireballs of the opponent exploded. Even the dart's hair did not touch one.
After successfully avoiding seven fireballs, the dart went straight to the front of the central hall and looked inside. The hall was very dark, and it was not very clear from the outside, but you could vaguely see something standing there, but there was no change since then. The fireballs that had been flying around in the temple before never appeared again, and the inside of the hall was too dark and could not see clearly what was going on. After driving the ghost insects to search the entire inside of the temple, I found that the temple looked very simple on the surface, but in fact it was very strange.
I used to look at the structure of this temple from the perspective of ghost bugs and think it was quite simple. But after those ghost bugs entered those buildings, I realized that this place was actually quite complicated.
First of all, I don’t know what exists inside the central hall. Anyway, I can fire balls, and it is very fast. It has tracking and steering capabilities within 50 meters of the temple and the courtyard wall. In addition to being not fast enough, it is more harmful than tracking missiles.
Secondly, there is a golden protective cover outside the central hall that is usually invisible and will shine when squeezed by external forces. The specific defense of this thing is unclear. But the darts cannot be beaten anyway.
Third, the outermost circle of buildings in the temple is basically empty, with no trace of human beings, and there is no sight of the gods worshipped. There is only one thing in all the buildings, that is, strange devices. The main body of these devices looks like black rectangular stones. There are dense golden marks on the matt surface, and the light flows on it, which is obviously a device with magic power.
I once asked the ghost bug to try it over and could touch it, but because I dare not destroy it casually, I couldn't figure out the specific purpose of these stones. Of course, no matter what it is, I have decided to move all of these things back, because these stones look very cool. The black stone and the golden spell seal, the mysterious and quaint aura gives people a very strong visual impact. Even if it is useless, it's good to use it as a decoration. Of course, I don't think this thing is useless. After all, those magic seals are flowing with magic power, not like useless decorations.
Apart from these big stones carved with curse seals, these buildings are really empty, not to mention utensils, not to mention the equipment. There are only door frames on the building, and there are lonely pillars and white walls inside. The ground is paved with bluestone strips, which are really clean. You will know everything you have to glance at.
Ghostworms also discovered a small amount of this momentum among the four buildings in the inner circle, but there was a very strange device inside these buildings.
These devices are the fourth strange place in this temple, because these four devices do not look like magic props, but rather like technological products. Of course, they are not cash electronic devices, but a kind of device similar to the steam engine era. Anyway, this thing looks stupid and thick, with a large number of pipes and gears on it, and it sprays steam out from time to time. Anyway, it looks like a steam engine no matter how you look at it. Of course, I know that this thing is definitely not a steam engine, because this thing has no output, it is just running there itself, and I don’t know what it is doing.
Unlike the stones outside, three of the four machines in the four houses are protected by light films, and these three light films are quite special, with red, green, blue, and one protective cover and one color. The corresponding one is three colors of the four machines, namely, red, green, and blue, and one is golden. However, the colors of the three protective covers do not match the color of the equipment itself. In other words, the machines protected by the red protective cover are not red, and each type of protective cover protects machines of other colors. However, one of the green machines does not have a protective cover.
