Chapter 490: Stealing Two Overlords
"I really believed your lies!"
Lin Heng kicked away the dog-sized mining scarab.
The swarm of black, spider-like mechanical insects came like a tide, their metal limbs making clanging sounds on the walls and the dome of the tomb.
They are able to fly in the air for short periods of time, and no terrain can stop them from moving forward.
One of the most deadly points is that their function is to eat all edible metals and minerals, and convert them into slightly moist metal mud with carbon and calcium impurities in their bodies.
Therefore, there are more than a dozen pigeon egg-sized holes on Lin Heng's fine gold hammer. If you throw it in, it will turn into metal poop in less than 30 to 50 seconds. "Oh, okay, okay, we have been making trouble for so long, and the scarab still appears. It can only mean that this marginal world has been desolate for too long."
Taraxin sat on Lin Heng's shoulder and gave orders.
"Since there's no one here, can't you just come down and walk by yourself?"
Lin Heng said as he ran quickly in the direction that Taraxin's finger pointed.
"Hey, I'm a hegemon after all. It's okay to run around in my own home, but it's too embarrassing to run around outside. Hey, to the left."
Lin Heng passed through the towering stone towers and entered the next area. As Tara Xin invaded the opponent's system, rows of torches were lit.
Under the green light of the dark night, thousands of undead soldiers stood quietly.
Behind each column stands a huge four-sided square cone-shaped pumice tower.
The square gun muzzle looks like some kind of main battle tank, but according to Trazyn, its most important function is to transport soldiers.
Lin Heng watched for a long time, and as he moved forward, his eyes were still focused on the huge tower. Teleporting Cube "Hey, you don't want to take two, do you?"
Trazyn tapped his head with a finger, signaling him to look forward.
"Although this is not my family's property, we are of the same clan after all. If you want it, wait until I find you a dynasty that I don't like, and you can take it as you like."
Lin Heng thought, you are using me as a gun, I must touch him twice later.
The rustling little beetles stopped at the entrance and kept piling up, but the protocol in their bodies prevented them from entering this area.
Lin Heng slowed down his pace, moved to the front of the team, and carefully looked at the tomb world where effective information was extremely scarce.
Time seems to stand still here, and everything is sealed deep underground where no one knows.
“It feels like pressing the pause button, time has slowed down…”
The Undead warrior's legs were slightly bent, his back was slightly arched, and his head was lowered. Although he was not stained by dust, he was a little tilted, just like a robot that had not been awakened.
According to Trazyn, the state of the undead after transformation is closely related to their status in life.
The more powerful the lord is, the more complex and sophisticated his transformed body will be, the more stable his mental state will be after awakening, and the better his memory will be preserved.
Now, these most common undead warriors are really like iron ribs with the meat removed, without any decoration, ordinary and featureless.
Lin Heng knocked on the other person's head, and the "dangdang" sound proved the strength of his body.
Although they are ordinary warriors in name, each of them is an indestructible being made of living metal, and more importantly, their weapons.
Gauss separator gun, a powerful weapon that is more powerful and stable than the Empire's plasma weapon. Ceramic steel armor and the hull of the starship can't stop the attack of the gun. The most basic Gauss rifle is just the most common weapon...
Looking around, the densely packed undead warriors were in uniform formation, standing still like a mountain, which made Lin Heng feel a little frightened.
This is just a desolate fringe world...
"Okay, okay, stop looking. Wait until I finish maintaining the exhibition hall. There will be plenty of things that will amaze you."
Taraxin clamped Lin Heng's ribs with his feet, and the vehicle below moved forward thoughtfully.
After the two men turned and left, the soldier who was knocked by Lin Heng suddenly raised his head slowly.
The body, which had not moved for a long time, slowly straightened, and the joints made a teeth-grinding clacking sound.
Lin Heng turned his body back, and Taraxin turned his head back even faster. The two of them just watched the soldier wake up quietly, and watched him gradually raise the Gauss rifle in his hand.
"Did you wake me up?" Lin Heng asked after swallowing.
"Hmm~hmm." Trazyn shook his head and hummed.
"Cackle, cluck..."
"Cackle, cluck..."
"Cackle, cluck..."
It was like a chain reaction, with one move affecting the rest of the group. Suddenly, a series of awakening sounds were heard among several teams.
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng immediately pulled Taraxin off his body.
"Didn't you say it was all deserted?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Trazyn scratched his head. He was sure of the situation here. The underworld mining scarabs were different from the soldiers.
The awakening of these civilians is subject to the constraints of the resuscitation agreement. Generally speaking, it is impossible to awaken them immediately, especially in such a scattered situation.
"Forget it, keep going. The hangar is right behind us. Hurry up!"
As Taraxin said this, he climbed onto Lin Heng's shoulders again, not looking at the other's angry eyes.
A green lightning-like beam passed by, and the unclean unknown energy burned Lin Heng's face so hard that it felt painful.
A powerful energy pulse exploded into the square formation, and the terrifying magnetic field stripped the bodies of the silent soldiers into atomic levels, and the dust with bright light floated towards the muzzle.
Although Gauss weapons are extremely powerful, they take time to charge, so the attack intervals are quite obvious. However, he can fly up and down in the laser beams without being contaminated by the mundane world.
However, since some soldiers have been able to awaken, the more powerful species behind them are probably also opening their eyes.
If they don't borrow the transport plane quickly, the two of them will definitely have to deal with the entire deserted tomb next.
A fine golden drill appeared in the air and, with Lin Heng's flexible control, it pierced directly through the soldier's body.
The electric current ran wildly, and the soldier trembled a few times before falling to his knees, unable to get up again. However, as time passed, if there was no subsequent damage, the opponent would eventually stand up again under the influence of the living metal.
A dozen soldiers were not a big deal. After the drill had been running for a while, they all lay quietly on the ground.
"You'd better have an explanation."
Lin Heng continued to run wildly, approaching the deeper area.
There were countless guns and weapons, tens of thousands of soldiers of various types, and instruments that even the "All-Seeing Eye" could not see through were common.
The ghost's snake-like body circled over, and Lin Heng's sledgehammer smashed it away. It hit the wall above, leaving a trail of sparks, but even though its chest collapsed enough to fit a basketball, it still fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then climbed away.
"We are investigating and will draw conclusions soon."
Taraxin clasped his hands together like a shaman, raised his head and closed his eyes to concentrate.
If Lin Hengding hadn't known that the other party was searching the online world through stream of consciousness, he would have thought that the other party was playing a trick on him.
Fortunately, the two arrived at a larger ship warehouse, where more than a dozen ships of various sizes were parked.
Although the largest one is a sickle-class harvester, which is only medium-sized among the Necromancer's ships, to other races, this guy is the god of death.
Trazyn pointed to the smallest Elegy-class raider below, which was about the same size as an Imperial frigate.
Lin Heng quickly opened the Star Gate near the ship's hatch. Taraxin issued a remote command and the cargo hold was immediately opened.
And when the two of them entered, a phase sword flashing with green light came straight towards their faces.
Lin Heng did not defend himself. Instead, he bent over and threw Taraxin over, hoping that the opponent could be killed by a single blow from the scorpion-shaped destroyer.
However, under the illumination of the stagnation light, the more than four-meter-tall scorpion-shaped destroyer still trembled and stopped.
Trazyn stepped forward and looked into the other person's eyepiece for a moment, then turned around and shouted outside the cabin door.
"You despicable fellow, you haven't paid back the debt for destroying my exhibition hall and exhibits yet!"
Lin Heng was puzzled. He used his All-Seeing Eye to examine the situation outside, but apart from the ghost of the underworld worker hovering in the shadows, he saw nothing else.
"I know why things are going so badly. It's all the other party's fault. I should have known it earlier!"
Judging from Taraxin's angry look, he must be an old acquaintance of this guy, and he feels quite good to see him get humiliated.
"Who is the other party?"
"A dead overlord."
Lin Heng's temple throbbed.
"The owner of this tomb?"
"He died a long time ago." Trazyn muttered, turning around and shouting outside again. "He was a genius who claimed to be magnanimous but was actually stingy like a child!"
Lin Heng felt a chill on his neck. To be able to make Taraxin mock him like that, that undead overlord who was like a dragon that was nowhere to be found must be a dangerous guy.
But at this moment the other party is still clamoring, and it is not a good situation when the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.
Lin Heng thought silently, and then put the Scorpion Destroyer into the 'space pocket'.
"Okay, let's sail away."
Lin Heng tried to persuade him, but Taraxin guessed that he was just too drunk. Although he had no brain, the fact that he had to gesture was more obvious than that of a human.
"Awakening prematurely in violation of protocol has destroyed their neural matrices, and these warriors are now no different than automated robots following tactical procedures and instructions.
The Resurrection Council is particularly opposed to such behavior of awakening relatives early and causing them harm for the sake of personal adventure! "
Trazyn blamed the other side for inaction or for causing trouble for him, which led to the harm of these warriors.
"You are a guy who steals things from other people's homes, but you are teaching me a lesson?"
The sound of mechanical voices echoed in the tomb. Trazyn became more and more angry as he spoke, and now he actually walked off the ship.
Lin Heng waved his hands and wondered what was going on. Without Taraxin to drive the boat, he would not be able to drive this thing.
"Grandma, who is that guy?"
"The Prophet Orikan, the chief time sorcerer of the Sotek Dynasty, the architect of time, and the last prophet of the Necrontyr."
The same proud name rang out from the air, this title could only represent the other party's powerful strength.
However, Lin Heng had some doubts. Since the undead did not have any spiritual power, how could they make predictions?
"Ha! If I had teeth, I would definitely laugh out loud!" Taraxin turned around and signaled Lin Heng not to listen to him.
"What kind of prophet is this? He is just a physical form of someone who keeps traveling back to the past and constantly changing the variables of the process until the result matches his own guess."
These words probably touched the pain point of the visitor Orikan, and the underworld machines and undead warriors in the shadows immediately launched an attack.
Trazyn laughed loudly and quickly urged the assault ship to start and leave.
A large amount of Gauss rays decompose the armor, but a ship with great power and thick health cannot be taken down by a few small guns.
The departure of the ascending assault ship was inevitable, and of course the man named Orikan did not seem to want to kill Trazyn.
The opponent appeared in the shadows, with a yellow toilet seat around his face, a blue metal robe, and a green energy ball on his back. The Necromancer Overlord, Orikan the Astrologer, predicted the rise and fall of the Eldar, so the Necromancer decided to rest in peace and become an old enemy of the King of Figures. He was holding a magical staff that looked like a gear, and there was an elongated metal spine-like tail behind him, which did look much more fancy than other Necromancers.
The other party conveyed his request in a voice wave that could not be blocked by the armor, and warned Trazyn to leave the area with those pitiful exhibits.
"All Tau assets in this area will be destroyed. Don't even think about joining them to collect your damned exhibits."
Taraxin ignored him and started the driver directly, but suddenly he thought of something and turned to Lin Heng and said:
"It's broken. The inertia-free engine doesn't seem to be suitable for organic beings like you."
The sound disappeared instantly, and Lin Heng felt that his body completely disappeared in an instant.
The assault ship suspended in the air first shrank, and then immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed into the sky. There was obviously bedrock thousands of kilometers thick above it, but it passed through it as if there was nothing.
For a moment, Lin Heng's body did disappear. Of course, it was not death in the traditional sense, but it turned into a state that could not be seen by the naked eye.
Scientifically speaking, it is a state where the mass returns to zero...and the mass becomes a negative number. It is a very wonderful feeling.
It's like being turned inside out. It's not joyful but heart-wrenching pain. Only strong people can feel this feeling.
Ordinary people would have been turned into dust the moment it was activated. Lin Heng was able to survive only because of his spiritual power.
And at the moment the ship flew out, all the spiritual energy in Lin Heng's body had been drained.
“Huff, huff, huff…Huff, huff…”
"Next time...tell me earlier...so I can be fully prepared."
Lin Heng stood up with weak legs. He should have put on the elf armor first. It would definitely make him feel better.
"Oops, I forgot."
Lin Heng absorbed the spiritual energy and stabilized his body, allowing the other party to sway like this. The loose feeling made him feel as if his body would turn into loose sand in a moment.
"That guy won't catch up with us, will he?"
"No!" Trazyn shook his head firmly.
"This guy is the overlord of Imotek, the Storm King of the Sotek Dynasty, and the Sotek Dynasty is an enemy of the Ulanska Dynasty we are going to. Number one is the Ulanska Dynasty, number two is the Sotek Dynasty, and number three should be near the Sharnasqua domain, very close, so I am not afraid of him at all when fighting in the marginal world of the dynasty. In fact, the other party is more afraid that I will make a bigger noise.
I really don't know why the other party cares about the future of this small race and even comes to ambush me.
Fortunately, I have suffered the loss of an ambush in my exhibition hall, otherwise..." Taraxin suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Lin Heng, who seemed not to notice this topic.
Lin Heng indeed did not notice it, because at the moment he was thinking about the meaning of the other party's words.
He felt that certain things were connecting.
