"Really? The upward mechanism below has been blocked?"
Maomao's response was an expected answer.
Normal tombs and underground mazes, if they are relatively high-end, basically have two roads. One is for your own people and is used by the maze owners, maintainers, and suppliers.
One is for intruders and outsiders, and traps are standard equipment. It is often an open and honest road, but if outsiders really go down it, death traps and dead ends are often just ahead.
Obviously, the relatively safe path is in the hands of the creators here, the beast god believers.
It should be said that it is a bit outrageous that they have not noticed Lu Pingping and his party above their heads so far.
If they hadn't been distracted by the matter at hand, there might have been some serious trouble.
"The Beast God believers, the Red Sand Bandits, and the Evil Bones and the others, are they still fighting?"
This is to be expected. From Catherine, it is confirmed that those religious fanatics are quite difficult to communicate with.
"You've come in to disturb the gods' resurrection ceremony. Isn't it too much to be a sacrifice?"
And a god often has a lot of enemies, especially a god of war like the Beast God. They are also worried that their master has not yet recovered to full condition, and the sworn enemies from the past will come to visit.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Beast God believers, the outsiders who take the road of invasion are already sacrifices to catch turtles in the urn, waiting to be slowly digested. If there is no accident, I am afraid they should be able to handle it.
Naturally, the Beast God believers who had taken the initiative here closed off the upward passage of the invasion. Even if those two groups of people wanted to go back, they had no way.
"There are three key points: the mechanism room, the underground divine tomb room, and the storage room."
Catherine's information was of great help.
Maomao has found the location of the mechanism room. As the main hub of the underground labyrinth that controls the entire area, there are two fierce-looking beast god followers guarding it.
Maomao didn't dare to go in alone, and didn't even dare to look at it. There was also a lycanthrope on the opposite side, and he was also a high-level lycanthropic warrior as Catherine said, and his senses should be extremely sharp.
"When necessary, we can raid in small groups and capture the place."
Lu Ping'an knew that the biggest advantage of his team now was not the combat power of the Knights, but the advantages of intelligence and initiative. If an attack must be carried out, the first raid must achieve the most important results.
After obtaining the mechanism room, it can be said that we have completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield. If this is not possible, there should be a direct upward passage.
"Wherever we take it, we can advance or retreat."
That position is critical, but it is not the most critical.
"This is the area with the most people in the underground god's tomb. There seem to be many beast god believers outside, and a group of red sand thieves are trying to attack there. I don't dare to go in."
This seems to be bad news. Has the resurrection ceremony of the Beast God believers already begun?
"No, meow. I was outside and found the person that Sister Catherine mentioned. She doesn't seem to be in very good condition and has been resting, meow."
So, is there something wrong? Something went wrong with the ceremony? This seems to be good news.
After thinking for a while, Lu Pingan hesitated, whether it could be the situation Catherine mentioned before.
"Can I contact my mother? She has taught me since childhood not to be kidnapped by faith. She is not such a fanatical person. We can enlist her help."
At this time, Catherine stood up again. She asked to be allowed to write a letter and handed it to her mother.
Lu Pingan thought for a moment and agreed to his request, but at the same time he also made his own request.
"You can't write about our situation. You can only say that you have restored your memory, and then imply that the resurrection will not be a god, but a disaster. After reading her reply, we will contact you further."
As for the storage room in the last key area, it can be given up based on intelligence feedback. It is occupied by evil-minded bandits.
"Is there any food in it?"
"Yes, but there shouldn't be many. They are all dehydrated grains and drinks for easy storage (to avoid spoilage). There are not only guards inside, but also outside, and there are often people coming in and out."
Maomao's response was expected.
But it can be seen from this information that the advantage below is mainly in the hands of the beast god cultists. The evil bone bandits who are lucky enough to find the warehouse have less to worry about and are slightly better off.
The worst thing is probably the Red Sand Bandit.
"Meow, it's so miserable. There are only six or seven people, all half-human and half-animal, but they feel very powerful."
They have the fewest people, the best equipment, and first-rate logistics. But the small number of people is the biggest disadvantage, especially when encountering unreasonable AOEs such as "malicious transformation".
"Meow, I saw someone hit someone with a submachine gun, meow! I laughed so hard, his finger became so thick that he couldn't even fit it into the trigger."
Is this okay? Lu Pingan imagined it, and it seemed to work. The transformation brought not only an increase in physical strength and mental worries, but also the changed body shape made many equipment, equipment, and tactics a joke.
The most direct one is the cover shooting of the three-person team. One super big guy is in front, and the rest should consider not accidentally injuring them first, assuming they can still use weapons normally.
"Get rid of them first?" Xia Qin was eager to try, and others were also looking forward to it.
On the one hand, there is a "truth level" item in their hands, and that is the key.
"Wait a moment, there's no rush."
At this time, Lu Pingan had not made up his mind. That was because of the advice given by Big Cat.
"At Citi, the exploration of foreign lands has never stopped. Dongguo is so honest and follows the rules. Well, looking back now, Dongguo is not honest either. These layouts were made decades ago, and all aspects have been making efforts. .”
Citi's "Adventure to Another World" system is hugely different from that of Dongguo. Dongguo has a strict admission system, and currently it is mainly explorers with official backgrounds.
"Citigroup is very famous for its corporate and legal person systems. For them, this is business. As long as you can afford it, you can hire as many people as you want."
Sometimes the system is not important at all, but sometimes it becomes the core of the problem.
Citi Explorer is a self-financing company, which means there is an employer and a boss, so naturally, there is a big BOSS and a big core in the team.
How can a boss who can start this business within a few years or even ten years be a weakling?
"It's very possible that more than half of that team's combat strength is their core, and the others are just underdogs."
"Why?"
"If you had the ability, wouldn't you make money alone? If there were two or three cores, the situation would only be worse."
This answer seems too realistic.
"Then which party should we attack first?"
The advantage of a surprise attack is one and only once, so Lu Pingping needs to think carefully about it.
But at this time, a reply from Catherine's mother arrived.
There is good news and bad news. The good news is that she also agrees with the current situation and advises her daughter to leave quickly. The bad news is...
"She was attacked by another rule-level item? She is in a very bad condition now and cannot perform the ceremony?"
In Lu Ping'an's view, this is actually two pieces of good news. After all, the Beast God Priest is not in good condition, so the so-called Beast God will not jump out. Probably.
