Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 656: If you don’t come to the divine level, how can you keep me here!
Chapter 656 If you don’t come to the divine level, how can you keep me here!
It took more than half a month to move bricks.
The five Su Lun people were mixed in the slave team, carrying stones every day to add bricks and tiles to those pyramids.
The overseers don't need the slaves to work fast, as long as they keep working.
In just half a month, Su Lun estimated that he had consumed at least one or two years of his life. If it hadn't been for the various blood potions that had greatly improved the physical attributes, otherwise the body of an ordinary ninth-level human would have been too much to bear.
The pyramids are like monsters devouring human lifespan, constantly extracting the souls of hundreds of millions of slaves.
Fortunately, these lifespans are not wasted.
The mortality rate of slaves is very high, and Selun also collected too many souls during this time.
With those memories, he was like a frog jumping out of the well, and suddenly realized that the world was really, really big!
Through the memories in those souls, he also knew what the situation of the Taris Protoss was like.
Based on the information currently known, Taris is even a more powerful plane than the plane of gods, which is why they dare to call themselves "gods".
They fought in all directions, conquered other worlds, and then sent war slaves here to build tombs.
Yes, the entire Yellow Sand Plane from which Su Lun came is the ancestral tomb of the Taris Protoss!
Although it is also a broken small plane, using the entire plane as a mausoleum is such a feat?
Obviously, this is not a simple mausoleum.
After half a month of observation, Su Lun also discovered a problem. Those pyramids were not only for burying corpses, but also contained laws of death and life that were too high to be understood.
And extracting the lifespan of slaves to "irrigate" the pyramid seems to be related to some kind of magic that brings the dead back to life?
Su Lun understood a small part of it, but most of it was at a loss.
Thinking again about the demon **** who summoned them, this must involve the secrets of high-ranking gods, and he became even more curious about the tomb.
However, if you can’t get in, you can’t understand it from the outside.
Everything outside is below the divine level, but those sealed in the pyramid are the secrets above the divine level.
This is a very special plane.
This day, evening.
After sunset, the overseer did not ask the slaves to work. The slaves dragged their tired bodies, ate some simple food and water, and lay down on the sand to rest.
The three suns went down one after another, and the burning feeling became milder.
None of the slaves in the mausoleum survived more than a year.
Su Lun didn't look too special. This kind of daily labor made him lose weight even at the ninth level.
He lay on the sand and looked at the sky.
There is still some glow in the sky, and floating ships are still patrolling the sky.
Although this Taris civilization does not have anything that can be called technology, the sailing boat powered by solar wind also made Su Lun's eyes shine. The special structure and runes allow the ship to absorb solar energy and sail, making use of "solar energy" that is rarely used in the alchemical plane.
Every few days, these ships will bring millions of war slaves, and the cycle repeats.
Su Lun lay on his back on the sand, adjusting his breath to excessively consume his energy and blood.
Gradually, the red clouds faded away, and the sky became bright.
Su Lun looked at the stars in the sky for half a month, but could not see the familiar stars that can be seen in the alchemical plane.
Planes and planes are obviously not in the same universe.
At least the alchemy plane, the yellow sand plane, cannot be hit with eight poles.
Looking down, there is a brightly lit golden palace next to the huge pyramid that has not been topped out for tens of thousands of years.
Yes, a palace made of pure gold!
The architectural style is uniquely rounded by the Taris Protoss, and the palaces are like flat gourds. In addition to gold, there is also the dazzling blue-green of peacock, which together gives people an extremely sacred feeling.
That is the "Temple of the Sun".
The mission of the five Su Lun people this time is to kill Pharaoh Cleopatra IX in the palace and get the [Key to Immortality] in her hand.
However, Su Lun also discovered some interesting information from the memories of some battle slaves.
That is the Pharaoh Cleopatra IX, who is well-known to the outside world. He is good at tonic secrets and has the nickname "Queen Marie".
It is said that she used her beauty to seduce another important figure of the Protoss, and then was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum by the senior officials of the Taris Protoss to avoid the limelight.
Although Su Lun did not find any battle memories about this pharaoh, various clues showed that this "demigod" had some very special abilities.
Especially when there are hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the Sun Temple, it is not easy to kill her.
Suellen fell into a meditative state.
It was quiet all around.
I originally thought that tonight would be like this.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt a call from somewhere.
"It's finally here!"
Su Lun opened his eyes suddenly, and he didn't know which demon **** had sent him the guidance.
He quietly observed his surroundings.
Only a few low-level overseers are patrolling the heights.
But even with a slave collar, this level of surveillance would be of little use to him.
The light and shadow flashed, and his whole body quietly merged into the darkness.
In a small stone house a few hundred meters away, an eighth-level overseer with the head of an eagle slept soundly and soundly asleep.
Anyone with an eagle head, a dog head, a crocodile head, or a lion head who can awaken their bloodline to return to their ancestors is the Taris pure-blooded god.
Here, none of the overseers with the beast-headed vision are lower than the seventh level.
The defense force of the mausoleum is not weak.
When Su Lun came, there were already three people in the room, Fighting Saint Jay, Barbarian Ralph and Dragon Lady Marcia.
The few people said nothing, and not long after waiting, the centaur Camul also arrived quietly.
There are five keys on the table, which are the keys to the slave collar.
After they started working as slaves, the demon **** never showed up again, probably because he didn't dare to show up.
I don’t know where this key came from.
Seeing everyone gathered, Fighting Saint Jay was the first to speak: "Everyone, we are going to take action today. Tomorrow morning at dawn, before the sun rises, Pharaoh Cleopatra IX will perform a routine sacrifice. She will leave the palace and go to the altar, which is the best chance to kill her."
As he spoke, he glanced at a few people in the room, and then said: "According to my observation, there are four ninth-level personal guards around Cleopatra IX. If we want to kill her, it will be a big deal. Big problem. Moreover, there are at least 300,000 troops and many masters near the entire Sun Temple. So the best way to kill her is on her way out of the temple to the altar."
At this point, Su Lun and the other three did not speak.
This Jay cultivates the Dou Qi system and has a very strong ability to sense "Qi". He has been doing investigation work for the past half month, and his conclusion is similar to what Su Lun observed.
The purpose of the five people is the same. They all want to work together to complete the task and resolve the Demonic Contract first.
So as soon as these words came out, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, Ralph, the strongest barbarian, asked: "Do you have any battle plan?"
Dou Sheng Jay shook his head: "At present, it seems that the only way is to kill by force. Once we untie the slave collar, it is very likely that we will be discovered immediately, so we can only attack by force."
As he spoke, he was the first to express his position: "The energy of the four personal guards around Cleopatra IX is not too strong. I am sure that I can withstand two or three. Or even four."
Because they don’t know each other very well, and there is no tacit understanding at all when it comes to cooperation, now that the battle is approaching, they have to roughly talk about their combat capabilities.
After saying this, the dragon girl Marcia also expressed her position: "If you can hold three of them, we should be able to kill the guards quickly. As for the demigod pharaoh."
Speaking of this, the room was silent for a moment.
That pharaoh is a powerful demigod, which is not easy to deal with.
However, without thinking, the barbarian Ralph broke the silence: "I am sure that I can defeat the female pharaoh. But I am not sure of killing her."
After saying this, several people looked over.
Can you beat a demigod?
Listening to this determined tone, several people realized that this Ralph's combat power was a bit strong.
If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be surprised by the content of this chat.
It was obvious that several people were at the ninth level, but when they opened their mouths, no one took the ordinary ninth level seriously. They opened their mouths to start with two or three.
"Ordinary ninth level" in their mouths has become a pure unit of measurement for combat power.
This is a bit outrageous.
Even so, Su Lun didn't notice that several of the old Yinbi had reservations.
No one will reveal all their cards.
The demon **** chose them because he naturally felt that they could kill a demigod together.
But now that the three of them have expressed their stance, Su Lun thought about it and made a conservative estimate: "I can probably deal with two or three ninth-level ones."
The word "deal with" is ambiguous.
As soon as these words came out, the four people in the room had strange expressions, but they didn't say anything.
Only the centaur Camul remained silent.
Four pairs of eyes looked over.
The centaur archer in this myth and legend did not say how many he could kill, but said seriously: "I observed that the nearest ambush point from the temple is at least five kilometers away. If we choose to attack by force, , the raid process will inevitably be disrupted. Once the pharaoh is disturbed, she may retreat to the temple. And we only have one chance and cannot tolerate any mistakes."
This is the professional instinct of an archer. He has already observed all sniping locations.
Everyone looked serious after hearing this.
This is indeed a big problem.
If you can't kill with one strike, there is no chance of survival in this yellow sand plane.
Su Lun and the four of them all knew that since he would say this, he must have something in mind, and each of them cast a questioning look: "So?"
The centaur Kamul pondered for a moment, then exhaled slightly, as if he had done some ideological work before revealing the secret he had kept at the bottom of the box, and said seriously: "I have an arrow that can kill the demigod."
"!!!"
Hearing this, the four people's eyes gleamed.
Even Su Lun cast a surprised look.
He had always thought that the most powerful one was the barbarian Ralph. So it turned out that the master was hiding here?
Even with his current combat power, he is not sure that he can kill a completely unfamiliar demigod.
And this Kamul is actually sure that he can do it?
Or "one arrow"?
If someone could kill Pharaoh Cleopatra IX, wouldn't it be easy?
Obviously, there are other problems with this arrow.
The centaur Kamul looked at several people and said solemnly: "Even if it can't be killed, the probability of serious damage from this arrow is very high. However, the cost of using that move is very high. After shooting, it will take a long time. In a weak state for a period of time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.
Once you are weak, you need protection.
No one wants to risk their lives and become a wedding dress for others.
After a brief silence, Dou Sheng Jay, who was familiar with everyone, said: "It would be best if you can kill him, but if you can't kill him, you may need to hit him again, not to mention we have to get the key. .So the plan of storming still has to be implemented."
As he spoke, he seemed to have an idea, and then said to the four people in the room: "I think we can be divided into two parts. One team and Mr. Kamul are sniping from a long range, and the other team is finishing the kills and getting [ Key to Eternal Life] Open the door of the tomb, and then our contract will be terminated. After that, it is up to you to decide whether you can survive or not."
This plan is indeed fine.
Remote sniper kill, then last hit.
But the question is, who is left to protect Kamul in his weakened state?
The few people present were confident of protecting themselves, but if they brought a tow bottle, it would be uncertain.
As soon as this plan came out, everything fell into silence.
Su Lun looked at the expressions of the four people in the room. At this time, he took the initiative and said: "How about I go with Mr. Kamul?"
Up to now, how could he not see that Fighting Saint Jay, Centaur Camul and Dragon Girl Marcia had some kind of tacit understanding in front of him?
These three people may have formed some kind of small alliance.
Some races are not good at lying, such as the mountain dwarves, the Daru tribe, and the centaurs he has seen.
Su Lun observed among the few people, but this centaur did not seem to have such deep intentions.
What's more, Su Lun also had his own plans for making this choice.
It would be great if Kamul could really kill the Pharaoh with one arrow, but what if there were some other changes?
In the past tens of thousands of years, the demon **** has recruited countless people, but they have all failed. There must be huge unknown dangers hidden in this.
Whether you choose a commando or a sniper team, the risks are bound to be extremely high.
Accordingly, Su Lun instinctively felt that the risk might be smaller if he did not touch the Pharaoh.
What's more, the three of them have already gathered into a small team. Even if Su Lun wants to join them forcefully, he may be easily plotted.
"this"
Hearing this, the centaur Camul glanced at Su Lun, his eyes flashing slightly.
Although he most felt that the most ideal bodyguard was the strongest barbarian Ralph, that person never meant to speak.
He looked at Su Lun and said without saying much, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Nicholas."
But after a moment of pause, he added: "If you don't mind, my centaur clan has a kind of guardian blood contract."
Giving your life to a stranger is naturally not something you can do just by saying a word.
As soon as these words came out, the strange atmosphere of distrust resurfaced in the room.
However, what the four of them did not expect was that Su Lun just took one look and responded: "Yes. I will protect your life to the greatest extent possible."
The content of the contract is not excessive. During this period of weakness, we must do our best to protect the shooter.
He has a small void realm, so he can still protect a person.
Hearing Su Lun agreed, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
After signing the contract, Kamul dared to give it a try.
The other three minor leagues also felt that this was what they wanted.
The atmosphere relaxed instantly.
After the division of labor is completed, the subsequent battle plan is simple.
After a few words of explanation, everyone took the keys and left.
After coming out of the small room, Su Lun quietly returned to his resting place.
Usually, as long as there is no trouble, the overseers of the Taris Protoss don't care where the slaves sleep.
After all, with the slave collar restrained, no matter how powerful the slave is, he cannot make any big waves.
Su Lun sat cross-legged, and as soon as he closed his eyes, a huge sand table formed in his mind, with pyramids and golden temples inside. Investing in clues one by one, he deduced countless possible outcomes of the battle five hours later.
Unconsciously, the sky has turned green and dawn is approaching.
Su Lun opened his eyes suddenly.
He looked around at the other slaves who were sleeping soundly, and quietly got up without disturbing them.
It is surrounded by tall pyramids, blocking the light, and it is still dark all around.
Su Lun came to a place where stones were piled up smoothly.
The centaur Camul arrived almost instantly as a colleague.
The two looked at each other and said nothing.
The view from the place they chose was not very good. The front was blocked by several pyramids, and the Temple of the Sun could hardly be seen.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a very small gap between the pyramids, and you can just see the road from the temple to the altar.
This is the sniper point chosen by Kamul.
Secluded, safe and far enough away.
Only a marksman can seize that fleeting shooting opportunity.
Su Lun also thought it was good. He took out his black umbrella and sickle and meditated.
Thinking that even if something unexpected happened, he would be able to do it himself.
The black crow sat quietly on the shoulder, and there was deathly silence all around.
Kamul’s eyes were like eagle eyes, focusing on the gap in the distance. After waiting for less than two minutes, he suddenly shouted softly: "Coming!"
Even if Su Lun didn't open his eyes, the black crow had actually captured it. A few kilometers away from the Temple of the Sun, a brown-skinned woman wearing a golden dress slowly walked out.
She is Pharaoh Cleopatra IX!
Time waits for no one, Kamul glanced at Su Lun and said: "Mr. Nicholas, after this arrow, I will be in trouble."
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
At this time, Kamul took out the key and decisively opened the slave collar around his neck.
Without the restriction of the collar, a terrifying force of destruction immediately arose from his body, and then gathered in his hands.
He made a gesture of drawing the bow, and in the blink of an eye, an elemental palace formed in his hand.
The luster in Su Lun's eyes flashed, and he sighed in his heart: "The arrow that breaks the rules? It's so strong."
Sure enough, this arrow that can kill a demigod is ridiculously powerful.
Taking this wave alone, it is definitely the strongest single target attack Su Lun has ever seen!
However, due to his indifferent attitude, Kamul asked doubtfully: "You?"
Su Lun naturally knew that he was referring to the slave collar, and responded calmly: "There is no need for it now."
He had been deducing before that since the demon **** had been recruiting people for tens of thousands of years, he might not have recruited anyone stronger than the five of them, but he still failed.
So, where is this failed link?
Su Lun felt that this slave collar might be the first big trouble. Because when I cracked it before, I found some incomprehensible runes in the collar.
It's not a prison or a demon. Su Lun guessed it might be some special purpose.
But the demon **** didn't remind him, probably because he felt that if this couldn't be solved, it would be impossible to complete the task.
"."
Kamul frowned slightly as he listened, seeming to think that he was exaggerating a bit.
But he didn’t say anything.
At this critical moment, it is too late to say anything.
Besides, a contract was signed.
In this instant, the [God-Breaking Arrow] in his hand was condensed. Almost at the same time, a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the pyramid in the distance.
"Whoosh~"
A magical scene happened. The black arrow was hidden in the ray of sunlight and shot out quietly.
"What a weird arrow!"
Su Lun was also amazed when he saw it.
With this archery skill, if he didn't have the ability to predict death, even he wouldn't be able to avoid it.
When you aim, it is already the moment of hit.
But with this arrow shot, Kamul's aura was weakened by most.
Fortunately, the arrow hit the target!
At the end of the field of vision, the Pharaoh Cleopatra IX fell to the ground almost as soon as she let go of her string.
"Kill him now?"
Su Lun also felt that the success was somewhat incredible.
Although this arrow did have the power to kill a demigod, his intuition told him that something seemed wrong.
However, there was no time to think too much. At this time, Jay, Ralph and the dragon girl Marcia who were ambushing on the other side also rushed away. The three of them also erupted with terrifying energy. One was fighting spirit like flames, one was covered in blood, and one turned into a half-dragon body. The three of them rushed into the Pharaoh's escort, chopping melons and vegetables all the way, even the four The ninth level personal guard did not stop the three of them.
In fact, the combat power that broke out was stronger than when they discussed it before.
Ordinary ninth level ones really pose no threat at all.
"Successful!"
Su Lun watched the three of them get the key from the corpse, and his eyes were equally happy!
As long as you open the tomb door with the key, the contract is over.
However, at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared again.
The plan went very smoothly. The five Su Lun teamed up to kill the Pharaoh and obtained the [Key to Immortality].
The original plan was that they would now divide into two teams to break out, and then go to the largest pyramid to open the door to the underground palace.
Kamul shot an arrow and was exposed, and hundreds of thousands of guards had surrounded him.
Originally, both teams could break through and share some of the pressure with each other.
However, at this time, Su Lun only looked into the distance. A layer of strange flames suddenly appeared on the body of Fighting Saint Jay. The flames actually burned a big hole in the void, and then the three of them slipped in and disappeared. Missing?
Escaped?
It doesn't matter if they escape. Once the three Jays disappear, all the pressure from the pursuers will be on the two Su Lun.
Camul's face changed suddenly. He obviously recognized something when he looked at the flames, and he was shocked: "The strange fire of Dou Qi Continent? He actually has the second-ranked [Void Poison Flame]!"
Then Jay has been hiding this trump card. Now Kamul doesn’t know that he has been calculated?
However, Su Lun on the side looked at the flames that could burn the void, and raised his eyebrows, but there was only a slight feeling in his heart: "Haha, it's interesting."
Although he had already guessed that the three people had small intentions, looking at the flames, it was indeed unexpected.
Kamul on the side is not so calm anymore. They agreed to break out together, but now the pressure is all on them, not to mention that he himself is still in a weak state!
He looked at Su Lun and asked seriously: "Mr. Nicholas, what should we do now?"
In contrast, Su Lun seemed a little too calm.
He picked up the black scythe unhurriedly and responded expressionlessly: "We can only rush forward. It will take a while for them to open the gate of the mausoleum, so we can break through."
This was said very calmly, as if they were not the ones being besieged.
Kamul frowned and wanted to say something else: "But."
Su Lun did not intend to explain any more.
Although he was hit by a wave of unexpected sales, he was not annoyed at all.
The contract mission has not been completed yet. It is up to them to attract the firepower and the three people to open the door can be considered more successful.
Although it seems that the pressure is on both of them.
But.
Su Lun glanced at the pursuing soldiers who had gathered around him, and there was no wave in his heart at all.
If I don’t come to the divine level, no matter how many people there are, how can they keep me? !
