Chapter 1001 The Ruins Left over From Ancient Times

While Bai Huo was communicating with her fellow demon hunters about the battle situation on the front line, Hao Ren and Lily were looking at the dilapidated palaces floating in the void in the distance. Nangong Wuyue, who was standing next to them, noticed and used curious words. The tail poked the two people's arms: "What are you two looking at?"

Hao Ren came back to his senses after being poked by Wuyue. He suddenly forgot everything he had just thought about. He scratched his hair and said, "Um...it's okay. It just feels a bit familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere. Could it be?" …the style of somewhere in Horleta?”

Vivian suddenly narrowed her eyes: "A building from the Magic Empire period?! This is also possible. After all, even an entire planet like 'Purgatory' can be bombed." After speaking, she looked at Lily again: "The landlord is considering Forget it, how can you, a heartless person like you, learn to look serious?"

Before Lily could say anything, Hao Ren answered on her behalf: "Nonsense, just go find a husky and see if they have any serious expressions when they are in a daze!"

Vivian wanted to ask something more, but just when she was about to speak, a strong flash of light suddenly burst out from a distance, followed by a loud bang that was more deafening than thunder. Everyone looked in horror and saw a sudden fire bursting into the sky around a floating stone platform about one kilometer away. After that loud noise, large swaths of magic bullet flashes shone around the stone platform like a heavy rain, faintly. Countless figures could be seen crisscrossing between those flashes of light. Flames and lightning illuminated a large number of broken buildings around the stone platform, and it was an impressive attack. Standing firm in the center of the stone platform is a half-collapsed temple. The top of the temple shines with light like a torch, and a huge shield covers the entire platform, withstanding the continuous intrusion from the outside. bombardment.

Demon hunter warriors kept coming out of the temple to attack the enemy, but due to the long distance and the interference of the explosion's fire, Hao Ren couldn't see clearly what the fighting was like over there, but he could realize where it was just by looking at it from a distance. A fierce battle - a melee of soldiers between demon hunters at full strength, as powerful as the saturated firepower of the era of human hot weapons!

"The attack on Darsu Temple has begun again," a demon hunter warrior said through gritted teeth. "Since yesterday, their attack frequency has doubled, and now there will be a wave of attacks almost every hour - God I don’t know how long the temple’s crystals can last.”

Nangong Sanba subconsciously clenched the weapon in his hand: "Aren't you going to help?"

"This platform here is more important. We must first guard the control center of the Star Tower," Bai Huo tried hard to suppress his emotions, "And they will attack here at any time. With insufficient manpower, everyone can only fight on their own. Come with me, I will take you to the temporary command post first."

Led by the defenders, the group quickly moved from the platform. They moved forward on a series of broken stairs and ramps floating in the air, experiencing the discontinuous gravity and weird topsy-turvy roads, at least for Hao Ren and Lily. I would say this is a wonderful experience. Finally they came to a small palace floating in mid-air. Compared with other dilapidated palace ruins, this small palace that was used as a temporary command post appeared to be relatively complete. Only part of its outer wall collapsed, and part of the palace's superstructure became broken debris floating in the air. A large number of demon hunter warriors were guarding the palace. Hao Ren saw many floating rune stones and weapons that looked like ballistas placed in the open space near the building. These were obviously the large weapons of the demon hunters.

After seeing many individual equipment of the demon hunters, he finally saw the large weapons they used during the mythical war.

The interior of the palace is empty. It once seemed to be a place for sacrifices, but now all the ritual supplies have been cleared away, and the remaining open space has become a busy command center. Hao Ren saw a group of small objects with exquisite structures floating in the center of the hall. They were the locations of the palace towers in the Corpus space. They were lifelike and floating in the air according to the operating rules of those real buildings. , while some demon hunter warriors were walking around this special "sand table", constantly integrating battle reports from the front line and passing on instructions. A particularly tall dark-skinned man stood next to the suspended model. He was Tutanin who had just withdrawn from the front line.

"Bai Huo, I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound," Tutan Yin nodded slightly to Bai Huo, and then his eyes fell on Hao Ren and his party, "I have understood the situation, and thank you for coming to help regardless of previous grievances and differences between camps."

"I have no camp differences with you, but this is not important," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Who can explain to me what this model means?"

"These are the various architectural ruins floating in the Corpus space," Bai Huo pointed at the exquisite models. "The palaces are the main garrison points and fighting areas. They can create powerful protective barriers to prevent external enemies from penetrating deeper. , it is also a management facility that controls the flow of energy, and this kind of white tower is usually an energy node - also the main target of competition. They basically rely on large buildings to operate, so the Presbyterian Church usually competes for these nodes. We will attack the nearest palace first. This is where we are now..."

Bai Huo pointed to the star tower model at the bottom of the sand table: "This is the 'bottom' of Corpus space. And the Presbyterian Church is at the top... the spiritual world clock tower, the most heavily defended place in Corpus. .”

Looking in the direction of Bai Huo's finger, at the top of all the buildings was a weird spire with a complex structure and asymmetrical shape. The spire was suspended alone in the open area between a bunch of floating buildings. Hao Ren looked carefully. This tower was found to be the only one standing still in the entire system of Corpus ruins.

Between the clock tower of the spirit world and the towers of the stars, there is a vast void space and countless ruins of palaces and fortresses floating in the air. Countless tiny electric lights jump between these models, showing a stalemate melee on the front line. .

"Can't we just cross these palaces and attack the Spirit Realm Clock Tower?" Hao Ren pointed to the large space between the suspended palaces, "What if we send some elites there and behead them directly?"

As soon as he made this suggestion, the demon hunters around him shook their heads. Tutanin sighed: "You don't understand this system. Those palaces may seem empty, but in fact there are intricate defenses and invisible space vortices." They are everywhere, and only by occupying the node fortress can these vortices be closed. Moreover, the energy nodes of Corpus jointly maintain a layer of enchantment outside the spirit world clock tower, which is almost invincible."

As Tutanin spoke, he pointed to the torch-shaped towers floating between the palaces, which were energy nodes.

There are dozens of such nodes in the entire Corpus space. They continuously transmit powerful power to the spiritual world clock tower and maintain the so-called "invincible shield." And if all these nodes fall on the Presbyterian Order, In the hands, their power can even activate some kind of ancient weapon on the top of the clock tower in the spiritual world, instantly destroying all enemies and even any city on the earth.

"...There are no loopholes in this system?" Hao Ren touched his chin, almost reflexively trying to find a shortcut, "For example, after closing some palaces, system errors will occur..."

Bai Huo immediately shook his head: "So far we have not found such a vulnerability."

"Didn't find it?!" Izhak suddenly heard something in these words, "Didn't you build these defense facilities?"

"These defense systems already existed before the demon hunters used Corpus as their base," Tutain said slowly. "They are something that has long existed in this space. They are extremely powerful and far beyond our control. The elders have spent thousands of years exploring the secrets of this space, but in the end they can only borrow their power according to the existing rules of these relics."

Bai Huo had mentioned before that the Corpus space was not built by demon hunters, but Hao Ren did not expect that even the defense system inside was left by the ancients. He looked around at the high-walled hall, and that weird sense of sight came to his mind again: "...How strong is that 'invincible shield'?"

"This question is meaningless, because the most powerful force on this planet so far cannot leave a scratch on the surface of the spiritual world clock tower," Tutanin shrugged, then tapped the ground under his feet with his toes, " Even the dilapidated palace beneath our feet cannot be shaken even by the thunder of Zeus or the artillery of modern humans."

Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this, while Bai Huo added quietly from the side: "Do you know why we didn't repair these ruins? Because we couldn't even cut off the melted tiles and bent skeletons from the ruins."

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.
