Struggle in the Steam Age

"It's hard to imagine that someone can complete such a set of projects in this kind of place." The first time he left the cave, Lawrence couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

The cave that appeared in front of Lawrence and the others was unexpectedly huge: the whole cave looked like a circle with a diameter of 500 meters, and the highest point was more than 100 meters high. The entire space is arched, and the top of the cave looks like an upside-down bowl, covered with some strange luminescent creatures.

Some of these luminous creatures look like mushrooms, some look like big sponges, and more are some very disgusting jelly-like bodies. But no matter what they looked like, they uniformly emitted a penetrating green light, illuminating the entire cave hall like the ground at the time of the full moon.

What's even more amazing is that there is a corridor connecting the two entrances and exits of the cave hall on the ground of the cave. This building is also in the shape of a vault, without walls, and the slightly sloped roof is supported by pillars ten meters apart. After approaching, Lawrence found that there were no gaps between such a building, and it looked like a whole. From a glance, it was obvious that it should have been built in one go through some kind of magic.

At the same time, there are countless reliefs on the roof and floor of the corridor. These reliefs, like the reliefs at the entrance, describe the history of those mermaids. However, unlike the reliefs at the entrance, the eyes of the monsters on these reliefs are all inlaid with night pearls of different sizes, illuminating the entire corridor in a faint blue color.

Except for this corridor, the surrounding ground is covered with piles of fungi, lichens or mosses that also emit faint blue fluorescence. Although these creatures are of different sizes and varieties, they look a bit messy together. But after matching with the overall environment, it shows a special aesthetic feeling.

"It's a little strange." Nora floated to the entrance of the corridor and looked at the reliefs carefully and said, "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the murlocs who are the protagonists should be more refined? But why would they put precious The night pearls are inlaid on the faces of these monsters."

"This is indeed a bit abnormal." Lawrence murmured softly after letting out a few paper figurines and walking through the entire corridor. Because after letting the paper man see all the sculptures in the entire corridor, he found that all the sculptures in the entire corridor were like this, without exception. And this is obviously not the same as normal.

Out of concern about this abnormal situation, Lawrence and the others chose to walk through the corridor. But when they stepped on the blue moss and walked to the center of the cave, the light released by those night pearls suddenly lit up like lightning, and then went out completely, leaving the whole cave in darkness .

This sudden change in light and darkness made Lawrence's eyes go black for an instant, and when they regained their vision again. Through dark vision, it was discovered that the originally flat ground squirmed at this time, and then green gelatinous human figures as tall as a person emerged from the ground and rushed towards Lawrence and the others.

"What the hell is this!" Seeing this, Lawrence immediately pulled out a pistol from the holster on his waist, aimed at the figure closest to him and fired. As a result, the bullet got stuck inside after hitting the pedestrian's head, and then quickly corroded and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the other side, Nora also released two silver-green intertwined silk threads from her hands and waved them quickly. The green gelatinous human bodies that were close to them were cut into pieces one after another. But after those fragments fell to the ground, they slowly condensed together and became human again.

"Even the power of faith can't prevent them from reuniting." After cutting these jelly-looking human figures into pieces many times and watching them gather together again, Nora leaned on Lawrence nervously and said. "Do you see what this is and what to do about it?"

"No." Lawrence looked nervously at the approaching monsters and said, he just tried the identification technique, but the strange thing is that the identification technique that was invincible before failed. But considering his extraordinary level is too low, this failure is not incomprehensible.

Seeing these strange green gelatinous figures approaching step by step, Lawrence and Nora began to use various methods at their disposal to try to attack these gelatinous monsters, but whether it was bullets or magic missiles, physical attacks or magical attacks Nothing can hinder the regeneration of these monsters.

When a monster was less than ten meters away from them, the little puppet summoned a stream of silver-green water out of thin air and completely destroyed the monster. But what is miraculous is that under the watchful eyes of the four eyes, the monster actually grew out of the void like this, and then continued to move forward as before, as if it had never been attacked.

"Divine power attack is ineffective? This is completely wrong." In fact, from the moment these monsters appeared, Lawrence began to think about what these monsters were. But after the little puppet failed to attack with its own blow from the bottom of the box, the whole figure remained motionless as if it had been greatly touched, and froze.

Countless thoughts in his mind began to gather together, and everything he had experienced before began to replay quickly. Then under his guidance, all the problems that occurred before began to be solved one by one, ushering in the moment of complete revelation. Everything I encountered just now got a reasonable explanation.

"Stop attacking." Lawrence said to the little doll, and then he put away his weapon and walked over like those monsters. Under the nervous gaze of the little puppet, his hand touched the slimy surface of the monster, and then the whole person disappeared out of thin air.

The moment Lawrence disappeared, everything around him began to fade away quickly, like boiling soup and snow. Then Nora found herself in Lawrence's arms, standing together on a swamp of extreme filth. The smell pervading above even made Nora feel that her puppet body had suddenly mastered the ability to vomit.

Looking around, Nora could tell from the top of the cave that this was indeed the cave she entered just now. But now everything has changed drastically: all kinds of luminous creatures and artificial buildings have disappeared, and now the entire bottom of the cave has completely turned into a big swamp, and the top of the cave is covered with the same disgusting slime.

"What happened here just now? And what exactly did we encounter just now?" Nora raised her face and looked at Lawrence and asked.

"It should be a soul attack. Our two souls fell into an illusion at the same time." Lawrence sighed. If he guessed correctly, the existence who left divine power here probably had a priesthood similar to hallucinations back then.

However, it may be because there is no one in charge of this phantom array, so the overall operation is completely in accordance with a certain law. Because of this flaw, Lawrence immediately realized that what he saw and perceived was probably fake when Nora used her divine power but got nothing.

After all, there is a basic theorem in this world, that is, divine power will inevitably have a corresponding impact. For example, divine power attacks can be counteracted or defended in various ways, but an equal price must be paid. It is impossible to take those attacks lightly like those monsters.

Thinking of this, Lawrence, who had no choice at that time, could pin his will on the phantom of Bai Ze in his mind. Make yourself believe that everything in front of you is fake through a method similar to thinking stamp, and then touch those terrible monsters.

Sure enough, the moment he touched it, he realized that the monster in front of him was indeed a fake, and then he escaped from the illusion. And after he got rid of it, Nora was also brought out through the special connection between the two souls.
