Struggle in the Steam Age

As soon as the operation started, Lawrence immediately summoned a flying monster phantom as a cover on the periphery. Then the phantoms of goblins and kobolds were summoned and rushed up along the grooves just made on the stone wall.

At the beginning, everything was normal, but when the goblin phantom at the head climbed to about a person's height, the wild quilts who had stayed on the top of the cave flew towards the goblin phantom as if they had exploded their nests. . In this case, Lawrence directed the monster phantoms to accelerate upwards.

Just as half of these phantoms rushed up to the platform on the mountain wall, the group of wild quilts also swooped down from the top of the cave like a black torrent. This torrent easily destroyed the flying monster phantoms outside, and then went straight to the monster phantoms who had just climbed up the half-mountain platform.

Although those monster phantoms desperately resisted, they still seemed useless in the face of tens of thousands of wild quilts. In particular, these monster phantoms basically don't have any means of long-range attack, so even though they fought hard to kill nearly ten times the number of wild quilts, they were still drowned in the sea of ​​monsters in the end.

"I feel like it's troublesome now." Safiel said while holding the knight sword in his hand, "Although our opponent's strength is not very strong this time, there are too many enemies."

"Now I can confirm that there is a not-deep cave behind the platform—" Taking advantage of the little time before the phantoms of those monsters were all shattered, Lawrence discovered that there was a cave just behind the platform. This cave was not deep. , which can be seen to the end at a glance, Lawrence did not find any dangerous things inside.

"Then we will hide in the cave directly after arriving on the platform, right?" Safir said after hearing Lawrence's words, "You are right, this is indeed a way. If we take turns blocking the entrance of the cave , maybe it can block the little monsters flying in."

"Yes, we will go straight into the cave after we get on the platform." Lawrence said to all the members of the team, and then showed everyone the gold ring with ruby ​​on his right hand. "I have a wall of fire ring here. After entering, I can use this thing to help everyone disperse the pressure."

"It would be great if that's the case." Zhu Yan said, and at the same time stuffed a bullet with a red-painted bullet into a magazine. "Because I'm in the cave now, I can't use too many heavy-fire weapons. But this special incendiary bullet should be fine."

Safiel and Okita Sakura also each took out a bottle at this time and applied the liquid in the bottle to the blade. After everyone was ready, they waited quietly for more than ten minutes until those wild quilts After re-flying to the top of the cave and stopping, Okita Sakura was the first to rush towards the platform along the groove on the stone wall, while Lawrence and the others followed behind.

Sure enough, after Okita Sakura was the first to break through the height alert line, the wild quilt group that had just settled down gathered together again and swooped down. At this time, Lawrence summoned the monster phantom again when the distance between himself and the platform was shortened to within his casting range.

After using those monster phantoms as meat shields to attract the attention of the wild quilt group, Lawrence took the opportunity to rush onto the platform under the cover of Okita Sakura and Safiel who had already boarded the platform. Then under the cover of the two ladies, together with Zhu Yan, they used bullets to help the two ladies fight and retreat.

After everyone retreated into the cave, Lawrence activated the ring on his hand and released the wall of fire technique. In an instant, a flame blocked the entrance of the cave like a waterfall.

Those wild quilts were really afraid of the flames, so when they saw a wall of fire rising from the entrance of the cave, most of them quickly fled in the opposite direction. Only some of the guys who rushed too far rushed into the wall of fire accidentally and were burned into a ball of coke.

For example, a flaming wild quilt directly passed through the wall of fire and rushed towards Lawrence's face like a flying rag. Fortunately, he turned his face to avoid this thing in time, and did not hand over the first kiss of his life. .

"There is something hidden under the stone bed in the cave. That thing may be the target we are looking for." While maintaining the wall of fire technique, Lawrence turned his head and took a look at the entire cave, only to find that the cave seemed to have been converted into a He entered a very rudimentary living room, and his eyes with arcane vision found a powerful magic reaction under the stone bed.

"Understood." After hearing Lawrence's words, Safiel and Okita Sakura rushed to the stone slab as the stone bed at the same time, and then stretched out their hands at the same time to grab the edge of the slate and struggled to lift it upwards. Immediately, the entire slab was lifted, exposing the things that were originally pressed under the slate.

"The bottom of the slate is full of strange characters that I don't know." Before Lawrence had time to ask, Safiel replied. "Then the ground covered by this stone slab is also engraved with similar words, and these words seem to have been smeared with blood before."

"Could it be under the floor?" Lawrence thought while looking at the magic aura still on the ground, and then said to Safir. "Can you check what's different about the most central part of the ground?"

"Hey, why is there still half a stone tablet inlaid in the very center of the ground." After a few seconds, Safiel, who had carefully checked the ground, let out a slightly surprised cry. "This stele is actually the same color as the surrounding stones, and the groove fits very well with the stele itself. At first glance, I didn't find the stele in the middle."

At this time, the round of the wall of fire technique was about to end, Zhu Yan walked to Lawrence's side and took the ring in his hand, and cast the wall of fire technique again to drive away the wild quilt who was trying to rush up after seeing the flames go out, and Lawrence came To the edge of the half stone tablet.

"What should we do next, just take out the stele like this?" Safiel asked while holding the sword in both hands, looking at the stone slab in front of him vigilantly. As a transcendent with inheritance, she naturally knew that this transcendent item fixed in a certain place was likely to be connected to some kind of trap.

"Unfortunately, we probably have to do this." After briefly checking the stele embedded in the ground and the surrounding stone slabs, Lawrence said helplessly. "This stele is part of a certain magic system, as long as it is removed, the trap will be triggered."

"Can't you solve these traps?" Okita Sakura asked. "You are a spellcaster, and I think the magic system here is not very complicated as a whole."

"You're right." Lawrence said as he took out the crowbar from the interspatial bag and prepared to lift the stele. "Although the person who set up the entire magic system and traps was not very strong, he was very smart. The whole system he set up was very simple in principle, but it took a lot of time to solve the problem."

"But the problem is that we don't have time now." Lawrence said and looked at Zhu Yan who was standing at the door. As a magic gunner, he could indeed use this kind of magic item, but the effect was not as good as Lawrence himself. From his flushed face, he knew that the wall of fire could not last for too long.

After speaking, Lawrence slammed the stone tablet with a crowbar, and the large-faced stone tablet was lifted up immediately. Obviously, the man who placed the half stele didn't fix this era on the floor at all.

"Let's go." Lawrence packed the half stele with the space bag and ran towards the entrance of the cave with the two ladies. But when they hadn't finished the few steps from the cave to the cave entrance, a loud noise came from outside the cave, even shaking the gravel on the top of the cave.

At this time, Zhu Yan's wall of fire at the door had also reached its limit. In the eyes of everyone, the wall of fire blocking the door disappeared, and everyone immediately raised their vigilance to prepare for the impact. But the strange thing is that Ye Quin, who was about to rush in just now, didn't take this opportunity to rush in this time.
