Chapter 2791 (2/2)
We followed the cavalry on our side. It was easy to touch the outside of the village. We did not encounter any trouble except killing a few dead corpses along the way.
”Come back!” As soon as I touched the edge of the village, I grabbed the real red who was about to stretch out his head and look around: ”you are a glittering golden head that will be found?”
Zhenhong looked down at her hands, then thought and asked, ”what should I do?”
”Christina, of course.” Said the gold coin.
Christina didn't talk nonsense. She opened a mirror of water element in front of us, and then let go of a wizard's eye. We can see the whole village directly.
In fact, Christina's wizard's eye is like an unmanned reconnaissance plane, and it's invisible. In addition, the water element mirror is equivalent to the video monitor output port corresponding to the unmanned scout. Of course, this thing only has the ability to receive video, and Christina needs to complete the control of wizard's eye. But with these two things, we are almost as good as having our own unmanned reconnaissance plane.
In Christina's magic, we soon found that the personnel on both sides had entered into a full-scale combat state in the central area of the village, and the crowd on both sides seemed to have the same strength, and actually there was a standoff. The number of the demons that occupied Huangshi village was large, but the new group of demons had a higher single combat effectiveness, so the two sides would not be able to tell the victory or defeat for a while. But from my point of view, it is estimated that the final victory will probably belong to the invaders, because the latter is more powerful.
In fact, when the total strength of the two sides is not much different, the party with higher single combat effectiveness will always win the final victory. This phenomenon has been proved many times in the real battlefield, and the most obvious evidence is that in the era of battleships, battleships with thick armor and large caliber can kill several times the number of battleships with the same caliber and higher speed, but with thinner armor. Although most of the National People's Congress have heard such famous sayings as ”no solid, only fast but not broken”, in fact, the speed gap between the two sides in the battle is often not too big. Therefore, although the speed will have an advantage, the advantage generated by our speed is often unable to offset the advantage brought by heavy armor.
This phenomenon can be seen everywhere in reality. Light tanks can only be used as infantry support firepower, and heavy tanks can frighten people to death. Most of the light fighters are multi-purpose auxiliary attack aircraft. It is basically a victim's life to fight against heavy fighters. It's the same at sea. The combat effectiveness of heavy warships is often beyond imagination, and light warships can only fight. Among these objects, the light side often has advantages in speed and flexibility, but it can't cope with heavy and heavy units, because the speed gap between the two sides has not reached the point where the situation can be reversed.Although the situation in the village is not entirely a matter of speed, the more elite invaders have an absolute advantage in terms of single combat effectiveness. Therefore, the personnel exchange ratio of both sides will certainly not be 1:1. Once the guard side begins to die, their overall strength will start to decline, which will lead to the decline of lethality to the strong side. This inborn weakness will lead to a situation in which the situation is more favorable to the side with stronger survivability. That is to say, the strength of the aggressor side will decline slowly with the battle, while that of the defender will lose its combat effectiveness rapidly. In this way, the combat effectiveness of both sides will inevitably increase. After that, the defenders will have to wait for death.
Of course, this kind of war is actually good for us, because we can take this opportunity to destroy the legendary soul collector.
To tell you the truth, our team's most worry about this task is not the problem of sneaking in, but how to find the soul collector, because we still have no idea what the Soul Collector looks like so far. The spirit collector of the demon king was hidden completely. The monster bought by general Shiman only knew that his boss had such a thing that he could absorb a large number of souls and transform them into undead creatures or to strengthen their own strength, but none of them had seen what it looked like. The monster doesn't know what this thing looks like, so the general of seven Manchu doesn't know much about it. We outsiders, needless to say, have never seen it.
However, although we don't know what the Soul Collector looks like, I personally think it should not be too difficult to identify. The key is that this thing will absorb the soul energy, so it will certainly have a certain amount of soul fluctuation. As long as we use this point, I believe it is not difficult to find this thing. After all, dead things should not have soul waves, because they are soulless, and the soul collector has soul waves, which is the most obvious sign.
After confirming that the monsters had started fighting, we started to act. Although general Shiman's agent didn't see what the Soul Collector looked like, he knew where it was, so we just had to look for it at the designated location.
According to the map of Huangshi village we had seen before, we quickly found the back of one of the houses which looked very ordinary. The front of the house has collapsed more than half, but the back yard is still there, and the location we have now is in the whole yard. In fact, there is a row of rooms at the back of the yard, and the rooms in the back are much more complete than those in the front, with almost no obvious damage.
Our destination is in the middle of the back row of rooms. Because the front room collapsed, half blocked the door to enter here, so we can swagger into the back row of rooms, anyway, there is a row of houses in front of us, we can't see this side at all.
After the middle room was opened, it was obvious that people often came in and out of the room, because these two sides were not dirty at all, but were extremely clean, even spotless. On the ground is a marble floor completely out of tune with the exterior of the house. Although the wall is still a thatched house structure, there is a metal ball the size of a watermelon suspended on the ground in the middle of the room, slowly rotating on the ground. Although it is not high above the ground, the sphere is indeed suspended and does not fall to the ground.
”This is not the collector, is it?” True red looks at this golden sphere on the ground, not quite sure.
In fact, we have the same idea as true red. It looks special, but it doesn't have any soul waves, and even I can scan it through a psionic scan. If this thing can really absorb the soul, even if it can't absorb the souls of us, then I will actively explore the spiritual energy in the past, and it should be able to absorb a little bit? But there is no response to the fact that the soul does not react to it.
After waiting for a long time, we didn't hear our answer. Zhenhong simply stepped into the room. Before, because of the special ground, we all stood at the door and didn't go in. Now, as soon as Zhenhong stepped in, the metal ball on the ground immediately reacted.
Originally, the golden sphere was always at a very low height, and it was rotating at a very slow speed. However, with the real red stepping on the marble ground, the speed of the ball's rotation began to increase suddenly, and the height of the sphere itself was also rising, but the speed was very slow.
Seeing this, Zhenhong immediately stepped back, and the metal ball immediately began to slow down and slowly fell back to its original height.
”This thing can sense people approaching?” The gold coin looked at the metal ball which was quiet again and asked in surprise.
Christina pushed aside the real red and gold coins blocking the door and went straight in. Meanwhile, she said, ”the energy fluctuation just now is in the space system. Most of this thing is a transmission array and other devices. You come up together and we'll see where it will take us.”
Hearing Christina's words, we immediately stepped onto the marble floor and stood around the metal ball, not because we were stupid and bold, but because Christina's guess was very reasonable. This Huangshi village is so big, and most of the houses are in ruins. There are more than 200 demons. It is impossible that all of them live in the ruins of the village. Therefore, it is more likely that there is an entrance and exit for space passage. Otherwise, it is impossible to say that those demons must occupy an abandoned human village.
