Chapter 113 Temporarily safe
"What should I do?" Xu Weiwei asked anxiously.
Lin Tianlang raised his head and looked at the city gate. The gate was ten meters high and it was impossible to climb over. They didn't know the flying spell. It's impossible to pass through, and they can't move instantly.
The walls on both sides were more than ten meters high, and it seemed that they were really trapped here.
"I don't know what to do. How about I try to open the door?" Lin Tianlang smiled bitterly.
If the magic power is maximized and paired with a staff, Lin Tianlang may be able to use the super fireball technique that reaches the eighth level of large-scale magic power, but it is difficult to say whether it is useful.
Aniya didn't make a sound, but quietly stared at the awkwardly sized gap.
"Well, how about I try and get through it?" Aniya said cautiously.
"Huh?" Lin Tianlang and Xu Weiwei looked at each other. It is absolutely impossible for Lin Tianlang to get through this gap. Xu Weiwei's figure is relatively plump, and it is a bit difficult to get through. But Aniya's petite figure might actually work.
"Let me try it!" Aniya said firmly.
"Okay, but you have to be careful. We don't know if there will be anything behind the door." Lin Tianlang nodded and said.
Aniya lay down in front of the gap. The gap is very narrow, but fortunately for a 1.4 meter loli, the gap is really just the right size. Aniya's little head turned the gap first, followed by her upper body.
There's drama! Lin Tianlang was overjoyed. If the upper body can pass through, then there should be no problem with the lower body.
"I got through!" Sure enough, Aniya successfully got through the gap. The girl's excited voice came from behind the gap.
"What's the situation behind the door?" Lin Tianlang asked.
"There are no monsters inside, it's safe for now!" Aniya replied loudly.
"How's it going?" At this time, Sherry retreated from the defense line. At this time, her pretty face was already pale and she was in urgent need of rest.
"Sheris, thank you for your hard work. You should go and rest for a while. We will take care of you here for a while." Lin Tianlang said.
"Hmm..." Sheris didn't show any pretense and immediately hid behind Lin Tianlang.
"Where did Aniya-san go?"
"She got behind the door through the gap, and now she is looking for the mechanism to open the door." Lin Tianlang said to Sherry. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel worried for Aniya: Please, whether you can survive depends on it. It’s your fault, Aniya!
Because his leg was injured, Lin Tianlang could only be used as a fixed magic fort, constantly releasing fireballs to repel the attacking stone men. Magic power was precious, and he did not dare to cast spells too frequently. He could only wait until a large group of stone statues gathered before blasting a fireball over, hitting as many stone statues as possible.
Xu Weiwei was helping from the side. She used the impact spell to gather the stone statues together as much as possible to maximize the damage from Lin Sirius's fireball.
When two people played games together in the past, they had seen this scene many times. It is commonly known as gathering monsters. They gather the monsters together and then fire AOE every second. But now they are facing real monsters, not the pile of data in the computer. They no longer control game characters to kill monsters, but rely entirely on themselves.
……
On the other side of the city gate, Aniya got behind the door and immediately began to look for the mechanism to open the city gate. Behind the city gate is a tall main hall, and a cool breeze blows out from time to time. Aniya wrapped her fur coat tightly around her body and wasted no time.
Time waits for no one. The friends outside the city gate are still waiting for them to find a way to open the city gate. They don't know how long they can last.
Generally speaking, the mechanism that opens the city gate will definitely not be too far from the city gate. Aniya understood this truth, so she just searched near the city gate. After a while, she found something similar to a mechanism, with some very ancient words engraved on the side, which Aniya couldn't understand at all.
Fortunately, Aniya is not stupid. After careful observation for a while, she discovered that this huge city gate can be driven by two sets of devices. One of them is a purely mechanical device. You only need to pull the starting lever to open the city gate.
Another set of devices is a gem-like socket that is powered by magic stones to open and close the city gate.
A set of mechanical devices and a set of magic devices, no matter which one is activated, the city gate should be opened smoothly. But the first choice must be the mechanical device, and Aniya did not hesitate and immediately went up to operate it.
However, the huge lever that controls the mechanical device is quite heavy, and the length of the lever even exceeds Aniya's height. Aniya found that her body was not as big as the lever. This lever was more like a lever than a lever. Such a big one is obviously not for people of normal size.
Aniya tried with all her strength to push the lever, but it didn't move at all.
It's too heavy. Even Long Xinyu might not be able to push it here, let alone the weak Aniya.
Mechanical devices were negated, and all that was left was another set of magical devices. Activating the magic device is quite simple. You should only need to insert something like a power gem into the gem socket to activate the city gate. But the question also arises here, where can Aniya find a power gem?
"What can we do!" Aniya was about to cry. Finding a mechanism but not being able to use it is more despairing than not being able to find a mechanism.
In desperation, Aniya could only return to the door first.
Outside the door, Lin Tianlang and Xu Weiwei's condition also began to decline. The stone statues are still rushing over. Although the speed at which they kill the stone statues and the speed at which the stone statues attack have barely reached a balance, over time, they will not be able to hold on.
"Lin Sirius!" Aniya shouted from the gap.
"How is the situation?" Lin Tianlang asked anxiously.
"I found the switch to the city gate... But, I, I, I, I, I, I can't open it..." Aniya sobbed, her nose sore, and her tears couldn't help but roll down. She really hated herself at this moment for having such little strength. If she had been stronger, she might have been able to push the lever.
If there was a battering ram here, she really wanted to hold the battering ram and smash open the damn city gate to rescue her companions. When she thought that her three companions would soon be overwhelmed by the army of stone statues due to exhaustion of magic power, but she could do nothing, Aniya felt extremely fearful and desperate.
"Don't be anxious! Tell me the situation!" Lin Tianlang said. In fact, he was not as nervous as Aniya, because when Aniya said that it was just that it could not be opened, not that it was not found, it proved that there was something else. hope. After all, if you can't open it, it's just the wrong way. If you can't find it, you're really screwed.
Xu Weiwei was panting on the side, her pretty face was now flushed, and the long spell casting also took a huge toll on her. In particular, because she needs to gather monsters, her spell casting frequency is much higher than that of Lin Sirius.
Lin Tianlang only needs to cast a fireball once when the monsters are almost gathered. On average, he only needs to cast a spell once every minute. Xu Weiwei's spell casting frequency was almost five times that of his. Her lips were almost dry as she kept chanting spells.
Aniya sobbed and told Lin Sirius about the situation. When he heard Aniya say that the magic device needed a power gem to drive it, Lin Sirius' heart sank.
Power gem, where can I find a power gem now?
Lin Sirius felt the heat on his chest. He took out the rainbow gem fragments that he had stuffed back into his clothes just now for the convenience of fighting, and gritted his teeth.
"Try the rainbow gem!" Lin Sirius said, then pulled off the gem fragment hanging around his neck, and then handed the gem fragment to Aniya through the crack in the door.
"...Okay!!!" Aniya quickly took the gem fragments.
Please, I must use it! Otherwise, it will be explained here! Lin Tianlang prayed in his heart, but he didn't notice that Aniya moaned softly when she took the gem.
Aniya quickly ran towards the magic device with the gem in her hand. In Sirius's hand, it was just a glowing gem, but in Aniya's hand, it immediately became scalding hot, and the flickering light became chaotic.
So hot! It hurts! Aniya tried to hold the broken rope tied to the gem fragments. Who would have thought that the hot gem burned through the rope and fell to the ground.
Holding back tears and pain, Aniya picked up the gem fragments on the ground and held them in her hands. No matter how hot or painful it was, she couldn't drop the gem fragments and could only let the gems burn her hands.
From the city gate to the mechanism room, within a short distance of about thirty meters, Aniya's delicate little hands were burned open by the gem fragments. The brown-haired girl rushed into the mechanism room and inserted the gem fragments into the gem jack as quickly as possible.
The gem pieces were small and stuck in awkwardly, but it worked. The rainbow gem fragments suddenly released a flow of energy, and the magic device began to flash blue light, followed by a low mechanical roar.
Success! The device is activated!
"Great!" Aniya cried with joy. She looked at the huge lever next to her and tried to push it again. With the power of gemstones, the originally heavy lever became much lighter, and Aniya pushed the lever with a little effort. The lever was pushed in the other direction, and then the gears started turning, making an "empty, empty, empty" sound.
The city gate was opened, and the heavy city gate began to slowly open inwards.
"Ania succeeded!!" Xu Weiwei shouted in surprise.
"Let's go quickly!" Lin Tianlang shouted, and then pulled Xu Weiwei and Shiris through the city gate quickly.
"We're in! Close the door quickly!!" Lin Tianlang shouted at Aniya.
"Okay!!!" Aniya quickly changed the direction and pushed the lever, returning the huge lever to its original position.
The gears got stuck, then switched directions and started turning again.
The city gate began to close again, but the stone statues had also rushed over. The few stone statues who rushed forward had already slipped through the crack in the door.
"#**Fireball Technique**#!!" Lin Tianlang quickly fired a fireball and blasted those stone statues back.
The city gate slowly closed, and finally with a "bang" it closed completely, separating everyone from the army of stone statues.
"Huh——" Lin Tianlang, Xu Weiwei and Sherry let out a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling like they had escaped from death.
We were safe...albeit only temporarily.
