Chen Xing did not rush over, but calmly observed his surroundings. Judging from previous experience, these stone sculptures may be guards, or mixed with guards. But looking at the shape, it doesn't look much like it.
Most of the statues are civilians, farmers and village women, old people and children, traders and craftsmen, like a troublemaker. Walking further, maids with water bottles on their shoulders, patrols holding spears, and wizards standing on the stone steps giving lectures gradually appeared...
Perhaps the owner here is afraid of loneliness and keeps all the city life around him.
Chen Xing couldn't help but quicken his pace. There were already enough guards on the first few floors, so there was no need to go here. Just like the emperor's palace, there are three guards inside and three guards outside. When you get to the palace, there may not be a single guard.
The two walked through the stone sculptures and soon came to the vicinity of the red heart.
From this angle, the heart is half a living thing and half a machine. The bright red pieces of meat and gears grow together. The pieces of meat are beating and the gears are rotating. There is a strange harmony between the two completely different material forms and modes of operation. feel.
Chen Xing subconsciously felt that this was the "Witch King's treasure" that Reger mentioned in his message. Because this is a world that specializes in space mysticism and magic energy mechanics, wizards have created a large number of artificial realms, as well as many demon spirits with different shapes and functions.
It can be seen from Regel's message that they were destroyed due to excessive use of space power. Therefore, they will not think that space mysticism is worthy of inheritance.
Judging from the mural of the heart-cutting ceremony in the lobby on the first floor, this heart probably represents the highest achievement of this world - the combination of magic energy, machinery, and life.
If a civilization's treasure is anything, it must be the crystallization of their philosophy and technology. However, philosophy is usually only applicable to this ethnic group, while technological crystallization is applicable to most ethnic groups.
The two continued to walk forward, and a giant sarcophagus appeared in sight, followed by a living dead wizard suspended above the sarcophagus.
Different from other wizards, it wears a gold crown on its head, its blood-red robe is as new as ever, embroidered with golden ribbons, and has colorful gems embedded around its waist, making it extremely luxurious.
It did not attack immediately like other wizards, but hung quietly above the giant coffin, its ribbons floating gently, like a large jellyfish.
The mechanical heart is suspended one meter above its head, emitting a mysterious red light.
I don't know why, but a feeling of extreme uneasiness arises spontaneously, as if there are thorns in my back and I can't sit still.
Chen Xing observed for a while and gradually suppressed his negative emotions. He was about to step forward, but as soon as he took the first step, he felt an explosive sting on his scalp.
Danger!
However, the strong sense of crisis did not come from the front, but from his side!
But this did not exceed his expectations. He never relaxed his vigilance towards Arqiao Mu and launched the trio without hesitation, increasing his agility three times.
There was a flash of cold light, and a scimitar was slashed towards him, with the target being his throat.
Ah Qiaomu's movements were silent, fast and ruthless, and the angles were also very tricky. If it were someone else who had no sense of danger, and no trio, he would probably be furious on the spot.
With the blessing of three times the speed, Chen Xing leaned back, while avoiding the blade, he took out the "gut" in his arms and stabbed it with all his strength.
"puff!"
The blade drove straight in and stabbed into Aqiaomu's abdomen. The clear resistance coming from the handle of the knife can clearly feel the contraction of the opponent's abdominal muscles.
A Qiaomu let out a muffled grunt, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground. In order to prevent Chen Xing from noticing, she didn't even use her psychic armor. I have been pretending for so long just for this moment. Kill two birds with one stone, obtain the Witch King's treasure, and get rid of this annoying man at the same time.
She had an inexplicable fear of Chen Xing, like a rabbit meeting an eagle, feeling scared in her heart. This made her very unhappy. Only by killing the other party can this inner demon be eliminated.
But she didn't expect that the other party's vigilance was far beyond her imagination, and the counterattack came so quickly that she was caught off guard. It was like an ice pick had been thrust into my abdomen, it was cold and hard, followed by bursts of cramping pain.
She gritted her teeth and grabbed Chen Xing's wrists and arms with both hands to prevent him from continuing to penetrate.
On the other side, Chen Xing concentrated all his strength on the handle of the knife, trying to stir the blade and disembowel her, but she was firmly grasped by her and unable to move.
The two sides looked at each other closely, their eyes extremely ferocious. In the thin line between life and death, both of them tried their best.
But Chen Xing's strength was still far behind. Even with a huge advantage, Arqiao Mu still grabbed his wrist and pulled it out inch by inch. Seeing that the blade was about to come out of his body, Chen Xing suddenly let go and changed the direction of his force, from straight stabbing to pulling.
Ah Qiaomu was caught off guard. The moment the tip of the knife was about to leave his abdomen, he suddenly sank and pulled downwards.
"laugh……"
The sharp blade cut through flesh and blood, making a cruel sound.
A Qiaomu exerted his strength in pain and pushed Chen Xing a few meters away. Then he picked up the machete on the ground, clutched his stomach and fled into the group of stone sculptures behind. This last blow at least opened a slap-long incision in her, and even her intestines were squeezed out.
Chen Xing's back hit the stone sculpture, knocking the back of his head. A huge dizziness hit him, but he endured it, pulled out his pistol and fired.
"Bang bang bang!"
The bullet hit the stone sculpture and sparks flew everywhere. Arqiaomu's figure gradually disappeared among the stone sculptures.
The sound of gunfire alerted the crowned Witch King of the Living Dead. He raised the short golden staff in Bone's hand, and a thick beam of light shot out. Chen Xing quickly rolled to avoid it, and the beam of light passed by him, vaporizing all the stone sculptures in a line.
Chen Xing got up and immediately fought back.
"Bang bang bang!"
Silver Star sprayed out gun flames, sending the Witch King hanging above spinning in the air.
After the bullets were fired, Chen Xing immediately loaded the bullet. At this time, the Witch King waved his arm widely, and the short golden staff drew a big circle in front of him. A spherical film of light appears on it.
When Chen Xing loaded the bullet and fired again, the light film rippled, looming, and blocked all the bullets.
While receiving the attack, the Witch King slowly turned his body. After locking on Chen Xing, he shot out beams one after another at an extremely fast frequency, almost once a second.
"Boohoo!"
Chen Xing stopped shooting and flew among the stone sculptures to avoid the Witch King's attack. After a while, the Witch King lost his target and began to search in circles. So Chen Xing stepped lightly and moved in the opposite direction of the Witch King.
"Ah, uh..."
Not far away from him, in a dark corner, Aqiaomu was gritting his teeth and suturing the abdominal wound with medical needles. Her recovery ability is extremely strong. Even if she is injured, she will be able to recover as long as she is not dead.
"Chachacha..."
The sound of small footsteps gradually approached, and she suddenly looked frightened. She stopped suturing, covered her abdomen and moved in the opposite direction.
