Chapter 227 Constructed creature numbering golem!
After explaining to the female-faced Sphinx that other adventurers would likely appear again after a while, and hoping that the Sphinx would "entertain" them well, Lu Yu led the team members to look at the paths leading to three different destinations.
Three-way passage.
Now, exploring that passage first became the first problem before them.
Left, right, or middle?
After some discussion, Lu Yu finally overcame all opinions and led the team to the rightmost passage.
In his memory, the high-end players in the previous life only explored the situation of the rightmost passage when they opened up the mission dungeon, and then were sent back to the Emerald Territory by their own camp boss using teleportation.
Therefore, in the previous forum, the strategy for this passage was the most detailed. As for the other two, the forum only mentioned them in a few words.
There are mottled marks on the walls of the passage, and there are also some artificial crystals that shine with a faint light.
These are the craftsmanship of the Arcane Empire, where the great arcanists used artificial crystals to transmit magical energy.
It seems that in addition to his profound research on necromancy, Archmage Kalapadis also has considerable research on things from the Arcane Empire period.
Li Cha, who observed the actions of Lu Yu and others through his spiritual sense, thought to himself.
Soon, a new hall appeared at the end of the player's field of vision, but at the same time, a strong rancid smell hit their nostrils.
Players couldn't help but cover their noses with their sleeves.
"This game is too realistic... ugh..."
The priest in the team frowned and said.
"Mage, is there any spell that can dispel the smell?"
Are you really treating yourself as an assistant?
Do you really not regard ordinary mages as dharma masters?
The mage grumbled in frustration, shook his head, and replied in a muffled voice: "No!"
"Everyone prepare to fight, there may be ghouls ahead!"
Allen, who was scouting the road ahead, covered his nose with his hands and said in the team channel.
Soon, they saw five tall figures.
"Beep——"
"Signs of life found!"
"Signs of life found!"
"Reserved energy activated!... Energy center activated!... Flesh golem activated!"
Accompanied by rapid sirens and hoarse screams, five tall flesh-body golems were activated one after another, and pairs of scarlet eyes opened, staring at the players at the entrance of the hall.
The warrior in the team, Heteulis, consciously stood at the front of the team holding a round shield.
"Everyone, be careful, it's a flesh demon."
Lu Yu held the snake demon sword and stood side by side with Heterius, looking at the five ghoul-like flesh demon statues in the hall, he whispered.
"These are the handiwork of a necromancer."
Golems are constructed creatures created by the great arcanists of the Arcane Empire. They need to be driven by magical power.
Initially, making a golem involved all aspects of magic, and it required extremely advanced research and attainments on soul, magic and elemental power to successfully create a golem.
In short, creating a golem is to implant an unwilling soul into an artificial body and make it act according to the will of the creator.
However, as the power of the Grand Arcanist gradually grew stronger, new uses were developed for the Soul Prism, and the process of making golems was greatly simplified. When the Arcane Empire was at its peak, the Golem Factory was invented.
, golems have become standard equipment in mage towers and floating cities, and arcanists use them to replace human guards.
However, most mage towers and floating cities use stone golems, steel golems, or the highest-grade diamond golems to guard them. Flesh golems, special golems that challenge human psychological endurance, are rarely used.
use.
Except for one situation.
Evil lichs transformed from spellcasters like to use flesh golems to guard their bases.
Flesh Golems are made from the limbs of various humanoid creatures, and even part of their flesh has rotted, exuding an unpleasant stench. This has led to the fact that no natural creature is willing to track their aura.
Flesh Golems are usually in the shape of a muscular man, wearing nothing but a pair of pants, no belongings, and no weapons in their hands.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Heavy footsteps sounded in the hall.
These three-meter-tall big men weigh a full 500 kilograms and are quite oppressive.
"Hiss... Stop! Adventurer!... Hiss..."
"One more step forward...No. 13 will smash you into a pulp!"
Faced with the warning from the golem, the players had no choice but to stop their progress.
"How do we get through here?"
Lu Yu asked while holding back the stench.
"Adventurer, you have two choices."
"Otherwise, find out which one of the five of us is different from the other golems. If you choose right, you can just defeat it and pass through this hall. If you choose wrong, then the five of us will kill
It’s up to you. You have sixty seconds to choose.”
"Or you can challenge us directly!"
The flesh demon with the number "11" engraved on its chest said in a muffled voice.
Why does this Kalapadis like playing puzzle games so much?
The last one was a guessing game, and this time it’s everyone looking for trouble...
The players who were complaining like crazy discovered that there were numbers engraved on the chests of these fleshly demons, which were 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 respectively.
"What should we do, Boss Felix?"
Heterius looked at the physical demon statue not far away with vigilance, tilted his head, and asked Lu Yu beside him in a low voice.
"What else can you do? Guess! Do you want to wrestle with these five muscular men who are full of stench?"
Lu Yu curled his lips and said.
Another reason is that the physical demon is the poorest among all the demons.
Other golems, such as steel golems, stone golems, ice golems, etc., after killing them, you can still obtain the craftsmanship and technology related to golem production by studying their mechanical structures. However, if you kill the flesh golem, you can
All you get is a pile of rancid rotten meat!
Therefore, in Lu Yu's eyes, the final result of hitting five and hitting one is the same, both are useless, and he will also be contaminated with a strong corpse smell.
Moreover, this answer is much easier to guess than the riddle of the female-faced Sphinx. Players with a little knowledge of mathematics can guess it.
"It's 9!"
In less than a minute, Allen gave the answer with determination.
Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Exactly 9.
Among the five numbers 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13, only 9 is not divisible by only 1 and itself. That is to say, except for 9, the other four numbers are all prime numbers!
"Correct answer!"
The five flesh demons made hoarse sounds at the same time, and four of them slowly returned to their original positions, the red light in their eye sockets gradually disappeared, and they entered sleep mode again.
Chapter completed!
