After taking off from the floating island, the next action Wang chose was to re-explore the two colossi in the Morado Valley.
Because this task should be relatively simple to complete. They have seen both statues and there is no danger. Master Li Guang has been posing on the bald head of the statue every day and nothing has come to trouble him.
Therefore, Wang judged that the re-exploration of the statue could be easily completed without fighting.
Because of this, after the floating island flew to a safe height, he set off alone on the griffin transformed from Xiaobai.
The distance from the floating island to the Morado Valley is not that far. The Frank Principality is not that big. The combined territory of the entire river basin countries is about the same as Monrovia.
The Principality of Frank is equivalent to the size of a duchy in Monrovia—perhaps even worse, because duchies can be large or small, and the territories of border lords are generally larger.
With two giant "door gods" hovering in the air, Wang exclaimed: "I never thought we would come back to study these two big guys."
Xiaobai barked twice in response.
Wang: "I can't understand the griffin's cry - if you give me an animal conversation technique, can I talk to you?"
The gryphon screamed.
Wang: "Okay, forget about it. Get close to the chest of the giant in the west. Maybe we can find the maintenance channel of the giant statue through the gap between the vines and plants."
The basis of these two giant statues is one of the five demon statues that Nelenis prepared to awaken in the First Age. Although they are called golems, they are actually mechanical life forms from a certain technologically advanced plane.
Since it is a machine, there should naturally be a maintenance channel - Wang took it for granted.
When the human empire in the Second Age transformed these two golems into statues, they should have made passages in order to adjust the limbs of the golems.
Xiao Bai approached the colossus, and Wang found a location where a large number of vines gathered without much effort.
"It should be there. The vines are gathering there, which means there is a relatively large opening there."
Xiao Bai rushed over, transformed back into a human form the moment he touched the statue, and landed lightly on the protrusion of the statue's armor.
"We really found the maintenance entrance, are we going to go in like this?" she asked, "I'm not good at dealing with plants. If these vines form vine people, I won't be able to appease them."
King: "Vine Man?"
Xiaobai: "Yes, since there are tree people, there will naturally be vine people, which are a type of forest spirit."
Wang: "If you had told me earlier, I would have prepared more flame cone spells."
Forest spirits are basically afraid of fire, but high-level forest spirits are generally not so easy to ignite.
While the two were talking, Xiaobai took a few steps forward and arrived at the place where the vines gathered.
Sure enough, there is a hole leading to the inside of the Colossus.
King: "Let the vines clear the way, druid."
"Just say I don't know how to deal with plants! You'd better set it on fire!"
Wang Momo took out the blazing fire glue from the dimensional bag.
Xiaobai: "Why don't you set the fire yourself!"
"My spell slots are very precious! If you can use blazing glue, use blazing glue." As he spoke, Wang raised his hand and threw the blazing glue onto the vines blocking the entrance.
The moment the bottle broke, flames burst out.
Because there was a lot of water inside the vine, the burning produced thick smoke, which directly forced Wang and Xiaobai to retreat together.
Seeing that the fire caused by the fire glue was not big enough, Wang took out another bottle of fire oil and threw it into the fire.
The fire grew stronger in an instant, and Xiaobai jumped up, transformed into a griffin and distanced himself.
Viewed from the air, the fire set by Wang looked like the heart was exposed on the chest of the colossus, and the swaying of the flames looked like the heart was beating.
The king threw another bottle of kerosene, but the throw was too inaccurate and the kerosene fell on the waist of the colossus.
The king threw another bottle of kerosene, but the throw was too inaccurate and the kerosene fell on the waist of the colossus.
But whether it was sparks drifting over or a flash fire caused by too high a temperature, the Colossus' waist also burst into flames.
Xiaobai just circled around the giant statue with two balls of fire on it.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe it's because the rainy season has turned to the dry season recently. Because the vines on the Colossus have been exposed to the sun, they are drier than expected?
Soon the entire vines on the exterior of the Colossus were on fire, and vines that were burned to ashes continued to peel off from the Colossus.
Immediately afterwards, some of the stone skin on the surface of the colossus began to fall off, revealing the original shell of the colossus underneath.
Wang was speechless: "Wait a minute, isn't this thing suddenly moving?"
Xiaobai turned into a humanoid: "Isn't that right? It means there is still an energy core inside."
Wang: "We are about to fall!"
Xiaobai: "Hey, please be patient!"
As she spoke, she turned into a gryphon again and flapped her wings a few times to stop her falling.
Then she flew to the top of the colossus at the other end of the river, and after landing, she changed back to her human form: "Anyway, there is no way to get close to the burning colossus now, and there is no need to circle around it, so we just landed here to rest. "
Wang Fan turned around and got off Xiaobai's neck, standing on the bald head covered with vines of the colossus, looking at the growing fire on the opposite side with his hands on his hips.
Xiaobai took out the dried meat from his dimensional bag and touched Wang's hand: "Do you want it?"
Wang looked down and took the dried meat, so the two of them gnawed the dried meat and watched the fire burn.
Quite pleasant.
When night almost fell and the fire was finally extinguished, Wang kicked Xiaobai who was already lying down: "Okay, it's time to go and take a look."
Xiaobai: "Okay!"
**
The fire almost completely emptied the opening in the Colossus' chest that was blocked by vines.
The big and small kings who opened their mouths were able to get in just enough with their waists bent, while Xiaobai was able to walk in with a swagger.
So Xiaobai took the lead, Wang followed, and the two of them got into the opening.
After walking a few steps along the narrow passage, Wang was already covered in dust. Xiaobai looked back and laughed: "How did you become a black man?"
Wang: "Lusuo, hurry up and leave."
The two of them walked forward for a while, and the whole space suddenly became clear.
Perhaps because of the lack of air, the vines inside were not burned very much, but even so, the entire space was quite open.
The king took out the dragon-headed staff, and the entire space was illuminated like daylight.
Xiaobai: "It looks like a dormitory. Look at the stone bunk beds here. So these giant statues are still a military station where the Human Empire garrisoned troops in the Second Age?"
Wang: "The human empire in the Second Age has been resisting the invasion of the demihumans from the north. At that time, what is now Monrovia was dominated by various demihumans. The demihumans were all tribal and lived in pursuit of water and grass. When food was not enough, they To attack the human empire Dacaogu.
"It was precisely to deter the demi-humans that the empire changed the ruins of the First Age into colossi. Then it is normal to station troops here."
Xiaobai: "That's right. Then maybe they took away the core of the Colossus."
Wang touched his chin: "It's possible. However, the passage we came in through was not a formal passage. Humans in the Second Age of the Human Empire were not so small. We should have come in through a ventilation duct. In this case, there should be a formal passage. entrance."
Xiaobai: "Is this what you're talking about?"
Wang Chao Xiaobai looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough he saw a door.
He frowned slightly: "This door... the words on it are not from the Second Age Human Empire. This mark is the symbol of Nelenis."
Xiaobai snapped his fingers: "Okay, finally we didn't come in in vain!"
