Palm 48 Savage Investigation

As soon as we got out of the way of the courtyard wall, we saw a huge fireball flying out from inside the courtyard wall again. This time we could clearly determine that the other party was attacking us, because the fireball actually flew over the courtyard wall. It turned nearly 90 degrees and quickly pressed to the ground, then exploded directly in the middle of a group of people on our side.

This fireball was obviously a loaded version. When it landed, it was like a bomb. With a loud bang, a big hole was opened in the whole ground. We who were standing around were knocked to the ground and turned over several times. Only then did he stabilize his body a little.

"Back up, back up!" As soon as I got up from the ground, I shouted to the surroundings: "Jingjing, come here and block it first!"

As soon as I finished shouting, I saw a huge fireball flying out of the courtyard wall. Jingjing rushed up with her holy shield, and then took the initiative to hit the fireball. With a loud bang, Jingjing was knocked down from mid-air, but the power of the fireball was indeed blocked.

Taking advantage of the little time that Jingjing and we had bought, the people on our side quickly retreated down the mountain, and soon left the courtyard wall at a distance of more than 200 meters. Although several fireballs flew out from over there, But after fifty meters beyond the courtyard wall, it can only fly in a straight line. It is obvious that the opponent's control range is fifty meters outside the courtyard wall. Any further away can only let the fireball fly according to inertia.

The reason why we were so embarrassed before was firstly because the opponent was unexpected, and secondly because the opponent's fireballs were controllable, so the flight angles were very weird, and we had no way to dodge them. but. As long as no one controls the opponent's fireball, it won't be a problem. Fireballs that can only fly in a straight line can be easily dodged, and this kind of fireball has also lost its ability to explode in the air. Unless it hits something, it will keep flying until the internal magic power loses control and self-destructs.

The opponent obviously knew that his control range was limited. After we withdrew from the 200-meter range, he only tentatively released a few more fireballs and stopped the attack. However, we did not dare to check the damage until this time.

Fortunately, although the opponent's fireball caught us off guard, we are not fools. When the fireball exploded in the end, everyone had actually reacted. So basically it was just a shock from the shock wave generated by the flames, and it did not cause much damage. If there was any damage, the most serious one was probably that Christina hit her head when she fell. Except it hurts. No big problem either.

"Damn it. It looks like this place can only be attacked by force! We were discovered before we even entered. It seems impossible to sneak in!" Zhenhong said with some worry.

I thought for a moment and then said: "Let's leave it alone. We will take a rest as planned, but the investigation must be done."

"The other party has made it clear that they know where we are. How can we investigate this?" Zhenhong asked.

I smiled and said: "Satellites from developed countries are still conducting reconnaissance over the heads of other countries. When have you ever seen satellites shot down?"

"Oh, I understand, can we use ultra-high altitude for reconnaissance?"

"No, not this time."

"Eh……?"

I didn't directly answer Zhenhong's words. Instead, after arriving at the soul well, I used a few psychic crystals to temporarily unseal myself for a short period of time, and then took the opportunity to scatter my ghost insect army. In Zhenhong's surprised eyes, I looked at the temple on the top of the mountain and said, "This time I plan to use covering detection."

"I have to say that sometimes your moves are really hard to guard against!" Christina said, looking at the insects all over the mountains and plains.

Although the attack power of ghost bugs is so small that it can be ignored, the attributes of these guys are really fucked up. When they enter spirit mode, they can ignore physical attacks and can pass through walls, blind obstacles, and nothing. On the contrary, when they transform into physical mode, their bodies will turn into diamonds. At this time, their defense will enter a very terrifying state. To kill them, a very powerful attack is required, and this attack is often full-scale lethal. Nothing magic can do. The reason why area-based killing magic seems to have a wide range and great power is because for a target of human size, the damage sustained by the area covered by the body has exceeded the upper limit of its own resistance. But the ghost bug is different. The size of these little guys is too small, so if it is a range of killing magic, the damage concentrated on them is actually very small. However, these guys have amazing defense, so these little guys produce a very annoying Its characteristic is that it can almost ignore most area-of-effect magic.

Of course, although area-of-effect magic cannot kill ghost bugs, single-target magic and physical attacks can kill them. But... when millions of bugs charge together, how long do you plan to take to kill them one by one? Don't forget that these little guys are not as big as the mouse in your hand, and it is not easy to accurately hit such a small target.

Now I just plan to use ghost bugs to bully the boss imprisoned in the temple, but I am too busy. If the other party has a lot of helpers... No, no, even if he has a lot of subordinates, it may not be enough to face my million-unit ghost insect army. Given the size of that temple, even if it were packed as tightly as a sardine can, it could only hold five to six thousand people at most. There are millions of ghost bugs here, and the other party will definitely be too busy.

The army of ghost bugs that I dispersed quickly formed a large encirclement around the temple. Then with a flash of my mind, all the ghost bugs immediately began to charge towards the interior of the temple.

Sure enough, the boss inside obviously didn't want us to go in. Before the ghost bug reached the edge of the courtyard wall, we saw a large fireball flying out of the temple over there. After these fireballs flew out, they immediately hit the ground and then hit a rather large fireball. The ghost bugs in a large area were covered. However, after the fireball dispersed, there were only seven or eight ghost bugs that were actually dead, and the ghost bugs on the periphery were just overturned. It's no big deal when I get up, so I just keep rushing forward. The charging method of these little guys is really too fierce. They charge wildly in scattered formations of skirmishers. They have no idea what it means to be afraid. Although the opponent's fireballs are very fast, more than ten or twenty of them can appear together every time. , but in fact, only about a hundred ghost bugs can be killed each time. This number is really negligible compared to the total number of ghost bugs here.

Since the opponent's blocking method was obviously unable to intercept such a large group of ghost bugs, my army of ghost bugs quickly approached the wall, and then these little things began to divide their work. Among them, most of the ghost bugs began to crawl up the wall. A small number of ghost bugs began to dig holes on the spot. It soon sunk into the soil.

The ghost bugs that climbed up the courtyard wall quickly reached the top of the wall, and then they began to divide their forces again. Some of them jumped directly off the courtyard wall and began to advance along the ground, while the other part simply stayed on the top of the courtyard wall. Spread its wings and fly. It was like groups of small reconnaissance planes flying back and forth in the temple.

Watching a large group of ghost bugs rush into the temple. I immediately began to use the perspective of the ghost bug to observe the situation inside the temple. First, I saw the general situation inside the temple from a ghost bug on the wall. Then he switched his sight to a ghost insect flying in the air, and soon got an overhead view of the temple.

Judging from the information fed back by the ghost bug, the area of ​​this temple is not very large. The internal setting is also relatively ordinary, but this temple has no gate, and the courtyard wall is completely closed, with no openings at all. Inside the courtyard wall is a circle of open space without any plants. Further inside is a circle of houses arranged in a hexagonal shape. The interior may be a Buddhist temple or something like that.

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

There is another building in the inner circle of these four buildings. This is a very large building. It should be the main hall or something like that. However, no ghost bugs have entered the interior yet, so I don’t know what these houses are for.

In fact, what I really care about 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 us in subsequent battles, because knowing the opponent's attack mode can make targeted arrangements in advance. , not only can reduce our damage, but also suppress and kill the opponent more effectively.

With the help of the sight of the ghost bugs, I kept switching in all directions in the temple. This method would probably make ordinary people feel dizzy, because the ghost bugs invaded from all directions of the temple at the same time, and the position of each ghost bug was also different. It's different, so when you constantly switch your eyes, you will feel that the picture in front of you is always jumping around. In this case, those with slightly worse vestibular function and optic nerve function will have a reaction similar to motion sickness. But I don't have this problem, so I can switch between these screens at will to find the one I need.

Soon, during the switching process, I finally discovered a swimming ghost bug. When this guy happened to climb to the top of a building, he saw fireballs flying out from the front door of the main hall in the center of the temple. As soon as these fireballs came out, they immediately flew along the gaps between the buildings to the vicinity of the courtyard wall, then crashed towards the ground and exploded quickly.

Although the ghost bug didn't see its attacker, at least we now know where the fireball came from.

Under my control, the ghost bug immediately flew towards the building in the center of the temple, and at the same time, I switched my mind to my other magic pet, Dart.

During the flight of the ghost bug, the dart had jumped forward onto the courtyard wall, and then flashed to the top of the outermost row of buildings, which is where the ghost bug was previously controlled. After confirming the direction here, the dart immediately jumped off the building, then instantly arrived near the second circle of buildings and flashed past, directly to the outside of the innermost building. However, just when the dart was about to rush in. But it suddenly hit something and was ejected directly. At the same time that the dart hit the thing, we all saw a golden spherical luminous body appear in the center of the temple. This luminous body is quite large and seems to wrap around the entire central hall. However, this thing is usually invisible and will only flash when it is touched.

After the dart hit here, it immediately bounced off the ground, and the light curtain quickly disappeared. However, just when Fei Dart was about to go around to another direction to study, a row of seven fireballs suddenly flew out of the hall, and then radiated and enveloped the surroundings of Fei Dart. This opponent obviously intends to block all the movement directions of the dart, hoping to do it all at once. but. This guy really underestimated the speed of darts. The dart flashes immediately after the fireball appears. Then we reached the top of a building in the second circle.

The opponent obviously didn't expect the dart to be so fast. The fireball's temporary turn was a little late. Two fireballs hit the ground directly and exploded. Only five fireballs were pulled up again and flew towards the dart. but. Even emergency steering was useless. Darts can move at the speed of light. The speed of this fireball is not even the speed of sound. It would be weird if it hit the target. After chasing the darts for several times, three more fireballs accidentally hit the building, and two more were exploded by the suicide attack of the ghost bug in mid-air. All seven of the opponent's fireballs exploded. Not even a dart hair touched one.

After successfully avoiding seven fireballs, the dart circled directly to the front of the central hall, and then took a look inside. It was very dark inside the hall, and it was not very clear from the outside, but you could vaguely see something standing there, but nothing changed since then. The fireballs that had been flying around in the temple never appeared again, and it was too dark inside the hall to see clearly what was going on. After driving the ghost bug to search the entire interior of the temple, I found that this temple looked simple on the surface, but was actually very strange.

When I looked at the structure of this temple from the perspective of ghost bugs, I thought it was quite simple. But after the ghost bugs entered those buildings, I realized that it was actually quite complicated.

First of all, I don’t know what exists inside the central hall. Anyway, it can launch fireballs at a very fast speed. It also has tracking and steering capabilities within the temple and within a range of 50 meters outside the courtyard wall. In addition to not being fast enough, it is more durable than tracking missiles. Harmful.

Secondly, there is a golden protective shield outside the central hall that is usually invisible and will glow as long as it is squeezed by external forces. The specific defensive power of this thing is unclear, but the darts cannot hit it anyway.

Third, the foundations of the outermost buildings in the temple are all empty. There are no traces of human habitation, and there are no statues of gods or anything like that. There is only one thing in all the buildings in that circle, and that is strange devices. The main bodies of these devices look like black rectangular stones. There are dense golden carvings on the matte surface, and the light flows on them. They are obviously magical devices.

I once asked ghost bugs to try and touch them, but since I didn't dare to destroy them casually, I couldn't figure out 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 rocks look very cool. The black stone combined with the golden curse seal gives a mysterious and primitive atmosphere a very strong visual impact. Even if it is useless, it is good to use it as decoration. Of course, I don't think this thing is useless. After all, there is magic flowing in those magic engravings, and it doesn't look like useless decoration.

Except for these big stones carved with curse seals, these buildings are really empty. Not to mention utensils, there are no doors. There is only a door frame on the building, and there are only solitary pillars and white walls inside. The ground is paved with bluestone strips, and it is really clean. You can tell everything at a glance.

The ghost bug also found a small amount of this momentum in the four buildings in the inner circle, but there was 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 props, but instead look like technological products. Of course, it's not a cash electronic device, but it feels like a device from the steam engine era. Anyway, this thing looks silly and thick at first glance. There are a lot of pipes and gears on it, and it sprays some steam out from time to time. Anyway, it looks like a steam engine. Of course, I know that this thing is definitely not a steam engine, because this thing has no output, it just runs there by itself, and I don’t know what it is doing.

Unlike the stones outside, three of the four machines in these four houses are protected by light films, and these three light films are quite special. The colors are red, green, and blue, and a protective cover. one color. Correspondingly, three of the four machines are in red, green and blue, and one is gold. However, the colors of the three protective covers do not match the color of the equipment body. In other words, The machine protected by the red protective cover is actually not red. Each kind of 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 complete here. Next, we can only find a way to go in and see for ourselves. Anyway, this is the information that the ghost bugs and darts can detect. We probably have to do it ourselves to find out what the engraved stones and machines are for. However, there is a problem here, that is, once we enter the temple, we are equivalent to entering the range of the fireball. The ghost bugs are not afraid of death because of their numbers, but the darts are too fast to hit, so we can’t keep getting beaten! Once it goes in, this fireball will become a big trouble, and we must find a way to solve it first. (To be continued...)
