Starting from Zero

As soon as we stepped away from the courtyard wall, we saw a huge Fireball flying out of the courtyard wall again. This time we can clearly determine that the other party is moved towards us attacking Yes, because after flying over the courtyard wall, the Fireball turned a bend close to ninety degrees and quickly pressed to the ground, and then exploded directly in the middle of a bunch of people on our side.

This Fireball is obviously an additive version. After landing, it was like a blockbuster. With a bang, the entire ground was blasted through a big hole. Standing in a circle around us was directly overturned. After turning over a few somersaults, he stabilized his body a little.

"Back, back!" As soon as I got up from the ground, I yelled at the surrounding: "Jingjing come here and block it!"

I just finished shouting. Seeing another huge Fireball flying out of the courtyard wall, Jingjing rushed up with the Holy Shield, and then voluntarily ran into the Fireball. Along with a loud explosion sound, Jingjing was blasted down from in midair, but the formidable power of Fireball was indeed blocked.

Taking advantage of the time Jingjing was fighting for us, the people on our side quickly retreated down the mountain, and quickly left the courtyard wall with a distance of more than 200 meters, and over there Although a few more Fireballs flew out, they could only fly in a straight line after being discharged from the courtyard wall for 50 meters. Obviously, the opponent’s control range was 50 meters outside the courtyard wall. NS.

Before, we were so embarrassed because the opponent was unexpected, and secondly, because the opponent's Fireball was controllable, so the flight angles were very weird, and we had no way to dodge. However, as long as no one controls the opponent's Fireball, it is not a problem. The Fireball, which can only fly in a straight line, can easily escape, and this Fireball also loses its airburst ability. Unless it hits something, it will keep flying until the internal magic loses control and self-destruct occurs.

Obviously, the opponent also knew that his control range was limited. After we withdrew from the 200-meter range, we only tentatively released a few more Fireballs to stop the attack, and we didn’t until this time. Dare to check the damage.

Fortunately, even though the opponent’s Fireball hit us completely unprepared, we are not fools either. In the end, when the Fireball burst, everyone actually reacted, so basically it was just being The shock wave generated by the flame shook for a while, and did not cause much damage. If there is any damage, the most serious possibility is that Christina bumped her head when she fell, but apart from the pain, it didn’t cause much damage. problem.

"Damn, this place looks like it can only be attacked! We were discovered before we even entered. It seems impossible to get in!" Zhen Hong said with some worry.

I thought about it for a while, and then said: "Leave it alone. We will take a break as originally planned, but the investigation must be done."

"The other party made it clear that they knew Where are we, how can we investigate this?" Zhen Hong asked.

I said with a smile: "The satellites of developed countries are still investigating over the heads of other countries. When did you see the satellites being shot down?"

"Oh, I see, can you use super high altitude detection!"

"No, not this time."

"Huh...?"

I didn't directly answer Zhen Hong's words, but after I got to the soul well, I used a few psionic crystals to temporarily unseal the seal for a short period of time, and then took the opportunity to throw out my army of ghost worms. I looked at the temple on the top of the mountain with real red's surprised eyes and said: "I plan to use coverage detection this time."

"I have to say that your trick is sometimes really you can't. guard against it!" Christina said while looking at the insect covering the mountains and plains.

Although the attack power of the ghost worm is so small that it can be ignored, the attributes of these guys are really fucking. When they enter the Spirit Physique mode, they can ignore physical attacks, and they can go through walls to overcome obstacles. Conversely, when they transform into physical mode, their bodies are diamondized. At this time, their defensive power will enter a very terrifying state. To kill them requires a very powerful attack, and this attack is often a face-to-face attack. Sex magic can't do it. The reason why the face-killing magic seems to have a wide range and a large formidable power is because for a target of human size, the damage covered by the body has exceeded the upper limit of its own resistance. But the ghost bug is different. The size of these little fellows is too small, so if it is a range kill magic, the damage concentrated on them is actually very small, but the defensive power of these guys is amazing, so these little things produce a kind of very annoying The characteristic of it is that it can almost ignore most of the range of magic.

Of course, although range magic cannot kill ghost worms, single magic and physical attacks can kill them. It's just... How long do you plan to kill one by one when hundreds of Ten Thousand Insects charge together? Don't forget that these little fellows are not as big as the mouse in your hand. It is not easy to accurately hit such a small target.

Now I plan to use ghost bugs to bully the boss in the temple. If the other party has a lot of helpers...no, it's not right, even if he has a lot of subordinates, it is still not enough to face the army of ghost worms with millions of units on my side. In the area of ​​the temple, even if it is stuffed like a canned sardine, it can hold five-six thousand people at most. There are millions of ghost worms on my side, and the other party is absolutely overwhelmed.

The army of ghost worms dispersed by me soon formed a large encirclement around the temple, and then as one of my thoughts flashed, all the ghost worms immediately began to charge towards the inside of the temple.

Sure enough, the BOSS inside obviously didn’t want us to go in. The ghost worms didn’t even get to the edge of the courtyard and saw a large piece of Fireball flying out of the temple over there. These Fireballs smashed immediately after they came out. It fell to the ground, and then covered a large area of ​​ghost worms. However, after the Fireball disperse, the ghost worms that really died were just seven or eight. The ghost worms on the periphery were just overturned. There was nothing to do when they got up, so they rushed forward. These petty charging methods are too sturdy. They lined up a scattered array of skirmishers to charge wildly. They have no idea what fear is. Although the opponent's Fireball is very fast, they can appear together in dozens or twenty each time. , But in fact, one hundred ghost worms can be killed every time. This amount is really negligible compared to the total amount of ghost worms here.

Because the opponent's blocking method obviously cannot intercept such a large group of ghost worms, my army of ghost worms quickly approached the wall, and then these little things began to divide the work. Among them, most of the ghost worms started to climb up the wall, while a few ghost worms started digging down on the spot, and soon got into the soil.

The ghost worms that climbed the courtyard wall quickly reached the top of the wall, and then the ghost worms began to divide their forces again. Some of them jumped off the courtyard wall and continued to advance along the ground, while the other part It simply spread its wings on the top of the courtyard and flew, as if groups of small reconnaissance planes shuttled back and forth in the temple.

Looking at a large group of ghost worms rushing into the temple, I immediately began to use the perspective of the ghost worms to observe the situation inside the temple. First I saw the general situation inside the temple from a ghost worm on the courtyard wall, and then switched my sight to the body of a ghost worm flying in the air, and soon I got a top view of the temple.

From the information provided by the ghost worms, the area of ​​this temple is not very large, and the internal settings are relatively ordinary. However, this temple does not have a gate, the courtyard wall is completely closed, and there is simply no opening. Inside the courtyard wall is a circle of vacant land, without any plants, and further inside is a circle of houses arranged in a hexagonal shape, and the inside may be a Buddha hall or the like.

In the middle of this circle of houses, there is a circle of four houses. These four houses are relatively tall and you can see a little roof from the outside. In fact, if the temple is built on flat ground, we can see most of the buildings inside. The key is that the temple is built on the top of the mountain, and the surrounding ground is lower than the temple foundation, so the courtyard wall is covered. Most of our sight. However, because the four buildings are relatively tall, one roof can still be seen even from this angle.

There is another building in the inner circle of these four buildings. This is a very large building, which should be like the main hall. But for the time being, no ghost worms have entered the interior, so I don’t know what these houses are for.

Actually, what I really care about right 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 kind of attack methods the opponent has. This will be of great help to our future engagements, because knowing the opponent's attack mode can be targeted in advance. , Not only can reduce our damage, but also suppress and kill the opponent more effectively.

With the help of the ghost worms’ sight, I constantly switch in various directions in the temple. If this method is expected, the average person will feel dizzy, because the ghost worms invade from all directions of the temple at the same time, and The position of each ghost worm is different, so in the process of constantly switching eyesight, you will feel that the picture in front of you is always jumping randomly. In this case, the vestibular function and optic nerve function will appear similar to motion sickness. Reaction. But I don't have this kind of problem, so I can switch these screens at will to find the screens I need.

Soon, in the process of switching, I finally found a ghost worm swimming. When this guy just climbed to the spire of a building, he saw fireballs flying out of the front door of the great hall in the middle of the temple. As soon as these Fireballs came out, they flew towards the courtyard wall along the gap between the buildings, and then moved towards the ground and quickly burst open.

Although the ghost bug did not see the attacker, at least we now know where Fireball came from.

Under my control, the ghost worm flew towards the building in the middle of the temple, and at the same time I switched my mind to the body of my other familiar dart.

During the flight of the ghost worm, the dart has already jumped onto the courtyard wall in advance, and then flashed to the top of the outermost row of buildings, which is the location of the ghost worm I controlled before. . After confirming the direction here, the dart immediately jumped out of the building, and then instantly reached the vicinity of 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 hit something and was directly bounced out. When the dart hit the object, we all saw a golden spherical luminous body appeared in the middle of the temple. . This luminous body is quite large, and it seems to enclose the entire central great hall. However, this thing is usually invisible and will only flash when it is touched.

After the dart hit this side, it bounced off the ground immediately, and the light curtain quickly disappeared. However, just when the darts were going to study in other directions, a row of seven Fireballs flew out of the great hall suddenly, and then moved towards the darts in a circle around them. The opponent obviously intends to block all the moving directions of the darts, hoping to do it all at once. However, this guy really underestimated the speed of darts. The dart flashed immediately after Fireball appeared, and then it reached the top of a building on the second lap.

Obviously, the opponent did not expect the darts to be so fast. The timing of the Fireball's temporary turning was a little late. Two Fireballs directly hit the ground and exploded. Only five Fireballs were pulled up again moved towards The dart flew past. However, even emergency steering is useless. The dart can move at the speed of light. The speed of this Fireball is not even the speed of sound. It would be strange if it hits the middle. After chasing behind the darts for a few laps, three more Fireballs missed the building, and two were exploded by the ghost worm suicide attack in midair. All of the other's seven Fireballs exploded, and there was no hair on the darts. Encountered one.

After successfully avoiding seven Fireballs, the darts went directly to the front of the central great hall, and then took a look inside. The inside of the great hall is very dark. It is not very clear from the outside, but something is vaguely standing there, but there has been no change since then. The Fireball flying around in the temple never appeared again, and the interior of the great hall was too dark to see what was going on. After driving the ghost worm to search all the inside of the temple, I found that the temple looks very simple on the surface, but it is actually very strange.

I looked at the structure of this temple from the perspective of ghost worms and thought it was quite simple, but after the ghost worms entered the buildings, I realized that it was actually quite complicated.

First of all, I don’t know what exists in the central great hall. Fireball can be launched anyway, and the speed is very fast. It also has the ability to track and turn within the temple and within 50 meters of the courtyard wall, except for speed. Not fast enough, even worse than tracking missiles.

Secondly, outside the central great hall, there is a golden protective cover that is usually invisible and will glow as long as it is squeezed by external force. The specific defensive power of this thing is not clear, but the darts cannot be hit anyway. move.

Thirdly, the outermost circle of buildings in this temple is basically empty, there is no trace of people living, and there is no such thing as the enshrined Divine Idol. There is only one thing in all that circle of buildings, and that is one by one strange device. The main body of these devices looks like a black rectangular stone, with densely packed golden nicks on the matt surface, and rays of light flowing on it, which are obviously magical devices.

I once let the ghost worms try it in the past and it can be touched, but because I dare not destroy it casually, I don't know the specific purpose of these stones. Of course, no matter what this is for, I have decided to move all these things back anyway, because these stones look very cool. The black stone material and the golden curse imprint give people a very strong visual impact with the mysterious and simple atmosphere. Of course, I don't think this thing is useless. After all, those magic engravings have magical power flowing, not like useless decorations.

Except for these big stones carved with curse seals, these buildings are really empty, not to mention appliances, there are no doors. There are only door frames on the building, with solitary pillars and white walls inside. The ground is covered with bluestone strips. It is really clean. You can know everything at a glance.

Ghost worms also found a small amount of this kind of momentum in the four buildings in the inner circle, but there is 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 items, on the contrary, they look like technological products. Of course, it's not a kind of cash electronic device, but a feeling similar to a device in the steam engine era. Anyway, this thing looks stupid and thick. There are a lot of pipes and gears on it, and some steam is sprayed out from time to time. It looks like a steam engine anyway. Of course, I know that this thing is definitely not a steam engine, because this thing does not have any output, it just runs there by itself, and I don’t know what it is doing.

Different from the stones outside, three of the four machines in these four houses are protected by the light film, and these three light films are quite special. The colors are red, Green and blue, one color per protective cover. Correspondingly, three of the four machines are red, green and blue, and one is golden, but the colors of the three protective covers do not match the colors of the equipment itself, which means The machines protected by the red protective cover are not red ones. Each protective cover protects machines of other colors. But one of the green machines has no protective cover.

The preliminary investigation of the temple is almost done here, and then we can only find a way to go in and see by ourselves. Anyway, ghost bugs and darts can check this information. Those stones with markings and those machines probably have to be done by our own hands to figure out what they are. However, there is a problem here, that is, once we enter the temple range, we are equivalent to entering Fireball's strike range. The number of ghost worms is not afraid of death, the speed of darts is fast, and we can't be beaten all the time! Once this is in, this Fireball becomes a big problem, and we must first find a way to solve it.
