Chapter 1078: Surprise
Inside the ruins, there are only a handful of visible buildings.
Countless copper mechanical life forms were crowded underneath, making the existence of the ruins even weaker.
Looking at this scene, even Luo, who is the strongest in the team, feels a lot of pressure in vain.
If the threat level of individual copper mechanical lifeforms is C, then their overall rating must be A, because the overall level is raised by the quantitative level.
"This amount... is really astonishing." Nobu looked at Luo's side face.
"I agree." Lao Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with difficulty: "If you don't look carefully, you really can't see any ruins."
"The real ruins are underground, not on the ground." The skeleton man suddenly reminded.
"ha?"
The skeleton man's timely reminder was not mentioned when revealing relevant information before.
Therefore, after hearing the reminder from the skeleton man, Lao Bai and the others were surprised and surprised.
If there are only a handful of ruins and buildings on the ground, then the motivation for investigation is really lacking.
However, the ground is full of seemingly dangerous copper mechanical life forms, so wouldn't it be even more exaggerated underground?
"So, so, I, we, want, want to go inside the ruins?" Nick stammered.
Hearing Nick's words, everyone couldn't help looking at Luo.
Dongba thought to himself, last time he was terrified enough by a copper mechanical life form, but here, the number is simply uncountable.
However, the copper mechanical lifeform here seems to be a little different from the one encountered that time.
"Do you think East Fulishi will be interested in the ruins?"
Luo stomped his foot lightly to signal the black cat to stop.
After receiving the order, the black cat immediately stopped moving, stood on the transparent foothold created by Luo Yu's domain, and looked down at the copper mechanical lifeforms below who were making a commotion due to their arrival.
"Definitely interested!"
Hearing Luo's question,
Sa Ling responded without hesitation.
Luo glanced at Sa Ling helplessly, thinking that you are the one who is most interested.
Jin looked down at the scene below, and said seriously: "If it were me, I would definitely go in and find out."
"Me too, but I will make decisions based on the degree of risk. In a situation like this, without the support of my teammates, I would never venture in." Sheila said softly.
"Indeed, it must feel bad to be alone in a situation like this," Bisji sighed.
"But East Fulishi is alone, right? No matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult to deal with these things, right?" Bharana said.
Before meeting the Skeleton Man, they may still doubt whether Dong Fulishi is a real lone traveler.
But according to the information provided by the skeleton man, there is basically no need to doubt it.
Dong Fulishi is indeed a solo adventurer.
Then, here comes the problem.
Alone, will he take the risk of breaking through the barrier of countless copper mechanical life forms below?
If the possibility of East Fulishi leaving footprints inside the ruins is low, is it necessary for the team to take risks for this?
People like Sa Ling and Jin, no matter what, must want to enter the ruins to find out.
But like Nobu and others, they pay more attention to the risks to be taken in this operation.
In a full squad, decisions are usually made by majority rule.
However, the captain's decision can often play a role in determining the direction of the wind.
Therefore, Luo's decision can usually have the final effect in such a clear-cut situation.
to go, or not to go?
Before the final decision was made, Dongba and Black Cat issued an early warning almost at the same time.
Dongba was really startled by the astonishing number of copper mechanical life forms below, so that he made a rare mistake and failed to detect the attacker's arrival in time.
The black cat did not participate in the topic, so he could always pay attention to the situation below.
So when the attackers came towards them from the bottom up, he, who was not as vigilant as Dongba, was able to spot the attackers almost at the same time as Dongba.
The ones who attacked were a group of pitch-black slapped crows, their eyes were white, like the eyes of a ghost.
Crows are small in size but very numerous.
They huddled together, but did not affect their respective flight, and they were heading towards the black cat hovering in the air with a clear goal.
The sudden appearance of the crows made the copper mechanical life forms below even more irritable.
"I come."
Starji volunteered.
She has always rarely participated in the team's discussions and decisions, and usually doesn't speak much, but if the team is in danger, she is often the first to stand up.
Black and white thought power surged on her body, and then flowed to her hands, forming a black stone harp in the blink of an eye.
The clear sound of the zither suddenly sounded, and many air blades visible to the naked eye flew towards the crows.
Chi Chi Chi!
A large number of air blades chopped on the crows, just like cutting tofu, crushing the menacing crows in an instant.
But, no feathers or blood.
The crows were cut into countless pieces by the air blade, and then slowly disappeared into the air, as if they had never appeared before.
Seeing Stargie make a move, the skeleton man couldn't help shrinking his neck, although he didn't have a neck.
"It's anger."
Luo watched where the fragments disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, there was a lot of movement from below.
Everyone followed the sound and looked towards the place where the movement came from, only to find that the ruins were not only full of copper mechanical life forms, but also other existences.
A... scarecrow?
.........
Deep in the ruins.
crunch... crunch...
The piercing sound of friction echoed in the passage.
The dusty masonry floor was littered with broken pieces of copper.
Fragments of spar exuding faint light were mixed among many copper blocks.
Three white swallowtail butterflies fluttered in the passageway, lightly landing on the spar fragments.
After only stopping for a while, the light of the spar dimmed.
crunch... crunch...
The masked man kept scratching the smooth mask with his pointed nails, and walked towards the other end of the passage.
Soon, he came to a "Y"-shaped fork in the road, stopped immediately, tilted his head slightly, and stared at the fork in silence.
The white swallowtail slowly landed on the head and shoulders of the masked man, flapping its wings gently.
It seems that I don't know the way, and it seems that I have a difficult choice.
The masked man stood motionless in front of the fork, and stopped scraping the mask.
A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from one of the passages.
The white swallowtail butterfly resting on the masked man flapped its wings and flew into the air as if disturbed.
The masked man suddenly looked towards the passage where the footsteps came from.
Quiet's killing intent was evident.
