Chapter 167 Golden Army
The brilliance of the flame is beating,
The flames illuminated the dust-covered place, causing the golden armor to reflect a dazzling light. A pure golden scorpion-shaped object was standing in front of the spy.
This scorpion is six meters long, with serrated forelegs and a thick hook on its curved tail. On either side of the scorpion, two torches are standing on the ground. .
It's almost exactly the same as the scorpion that Lin had seen before, the only difference is... it doesn't move.
The scorpion stood on a stone platform, and it was in a posture ready to fight, like a statue.
If the inside of it is tested, it will be found that the structure of the scorpion is the same as before, but there is no atmospheric creature in its body, that is, there is no controller, and it will not act.
However, if there is such a creature, it might be able to move at any time.
Moreover, there is not only this scorpion here.
If you look to the right of the scorpion, you can see another identical scorpion. Except for the different poses, everything else is the same...
On the right side of this scorpion, there is another scorpion with a different posture. They have been lined up like this. It is estimated that there are hundreds of scorpions, lined up all the way to the depths of the cave.
Moreover, there is more than one row of this arrangement.
The moment the cave was lit up, Lin had already seen it. In fact... the entire space here was filled with these things, and there were ten rows of them. There are sand-covered aisles between rows and rows, while the sides are lined with golden 'statues' in various poses.
Around these statues, there is a torch, which brightens the area.
They looked like a huge army, lined up here for battle.
Although I only checked a few, Lin felt that they should all be immobile. They have been here for a long time.
The torch standing next to it was plugged in only recently, which was obviously made by the 'creator', and there was some kind of triggering device in the torch. It will automatically ignite under certain circumstances.
And there should be more than one 'creator'. Because there are probably hundreds of torches here, their burning even made Lin feel that the oxygen was rapidly dissipating.
However, it should be able to last for a while, and the oxygen here is quite a lot. Although it doesn't matter if there is no oxygen.
Spies now walk the aisles between the golden statues. Most are golden objects constructed in the shape of scorpions near the walls. However, if you go down the aisle, you can see some statues that are not scorpion-shaped.
Because it's not quite sure what these things should be called. So for now, let's call it a statue.
Now, the spy is looking at a moth-shaped statue in front of him. It has golden wings and the huge compound eyes on its face seem to be looking at the spy.
This moth is really like the real thing, and even the fluff on its face is made, although it feels that these will hinder the movement...
It has wings, but Lin estimates that it can't fly, because the wings and other parts of the body are made of the same weight material. This thing may not be used for combat. It probably has a special purpose. There are many pores, and there are many pipes in it. It can probably sprinkle poisonous powder like a real moth?
But the next statue should be for combat.
Next, the spy saw a large statue, which was more than seven meters long and had a pair of golden jaws in front of it.
It seems that the 'creator' quite likes to make these things according to insect-shaped creatures, but they live in the air, so there shouldn't be many opportunities to see these creatures. Why don't they have statues made of atmospheric creatures or other creatures?
If you continue to look down, Lin can see more kinds of arthropod statues.
There are mantises, cockroaches, etc., but the scorpion type is the most. These statues are all made of the same material and have the same control method. They need that kind of atmospheric creatures to activate.
But I haven't seen any creatures here, and these things are quite old...
No, wait, this one is new.
After walking past a statue of a cockroach, Lin saw a golden...white dragon statue.
This statue is more than three meters tall, in an odd posture of holding his head in his hands, and like the previous one, it is also pure gold.
And its shell doesn't have a lot of dust or even cracks like others. The statue of this white dragon is quite new, and the light it reflects is several times brighter than the surrounding statues.
This is definitely a worthwhile thing, for the White Skeleton Dragon.
The spy checked the internal structure of this thing a little, and found that it was the same as other statues except that it was very new. There was no atmospheric creature in it, and it couldn't move.
I don't know what this statue is used for. It should not be used for combat. In fact, the form of the skeleton dragon is not suitable for fighting, and it is easy to fall, because standing up, almost all the weaknesses are exposed.
There may be some special purpose.
However, since this white dragon statue is new, is it possible to find a manufacturing device for the statue nearby?
But why is this new statue in the middle of a pile of old ones? No matter how many, first look to see if there is a device.
Thinking about it, the spy climbed to the top of the statue of the White Skeleton Dragon and looked around the cave.
All you can see here are the neatly arranged arthropod statues, and the torches here don't illuminate the whole place, there are no torches in the deeper part of the cave, there is complete darkness, and these statues are lined up until the darkness the depths of...
The 'creator' is in this dark depth.
From just now, it has moved a little bit, and now it is about a hundred meters away from the spy.
It might be making these statues? It probably has that kind of device over there.
And if this side suddenly lights up, it should have noticed, but why didn't it escape?
Anyway, let's go and have a look.
The spy jumped off the statue and walked in the direction of the creator.
But after taking two steps, the spy stopped again, turned his head and looked at the side of the aisle...I saw a sharp object protruding from the gravel piled up in the aisle.
What is this?
The spy reached out and grabbed the protrusion, then pulled hard...
‘Boom! ’
The previous voice rang again. (To be continued..)
