"Holy crap, what is this?"
Ye Feng was stunned. "Is this really an ancient ruin? This looks like some kind of military fortress..."
According to his previous assumptions, this ancient ruin might have contained some ancient mechanisms, inexplicable phenomena, or unknown monsters...
However, the scene before him truly subverted his understanding of the word "ancient" in "ancient ruin"...
Ye Feng's expression turned solemn because those Gatling heavy machine guns, flamethrowers, and grenade-launching mechanical arms were not fixed...
Instead, they would suddenly appear elsewhere, intersecting to form a firepower net with no blind spots...
"No wonder these major factions were so kind as to leak information about the ancient ruins, letting so many explorers come here for so-called joint exploration..."
"This is not joint exploration, this is letting those people be cannon fodder..."
Watching the explorers fall in droves, and the five major factions quickly advancing towards the mountaintop, Ye Feng finally understood the true nature of those "helpful" major factions.
"Big brother, this mountain is so strange..."
"No one is firing, yet those Gatling guns, flamethrowers, and other weapons only aim at living people and don't attack randomly!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's confused voice sounded.
"Indeed!"
"Not only that... those who fall and are not dead are finished off..."
Ye Feng nodded. "It seems some unseen force is controlling all of this!"
While he was speaking, a burly man beside him, who had been shot and fell down groaning, had his head blown off by a Gatling gun round...
"Damn it!"
"Who's ambushing there!"
"Come out if you have the guts, I'll fight you to the death!"
The sky had almost completely darkened. Some of the explorers running at the forefront roared, their assault rifles firing wildly towards the mountainside. Bullets struck the Gatling guns and flamethrowers, sparks flying, even causing explosions. Some bullets entered the teleportation arrays and disappeared...
"These Gatling guns, flamethrowers, and grenade-launching mechanical arms are moving through tiny spatial teleportation arrays?"
After careful observation, Ye Feng began to understand.
"You idiots, daring to block my way, I'll kill you!"
Suddenly, a bald, burly man behind Ye Feng roared, his hand...
Because these energy guns had the same attack pattern as the previous Gatling guns, they only attacked living beings. After killing a living being, there would be a certain attack interval...
If there was a finishing blow, the time gap would be even greater...
"Big brother, what should we do?"
Behind a large rock, Xiao Xiao's anxious voice sounded.
She and Ye Feng were in a relatively rearward position. Most of the explorers here had already been killed by the ancient ruin's defense weapons. The few survivors were hiding behind various obstacles...
The energy guns on the mountainside of Water Snake Mountain, along with the remaining Gatling guns and flamethrowers, completely blocked the path up the mountain...
And the rock where she and Xiao Xiao were hiding was also on the verge of collapse under the intermittent barrages of energy guns and Gatling guns...
"Xiao Xiao, use this. We'll follow those major factions and quickly move upwards during the attack intervals of those weapons!"
"Remember to find cover!"
As he spoke, Ye Feng's hand flashed, and he handed Xiao Xiao a lifelike realistic doll that had been refreshed from the [Shop] earlier.
"A... doll?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the realistic doll Ye Feng had suddenly thrust into her hand, and was a little slow to react.
"Ah! It's alive!"
Suddenly, she exclaimed and immediately threw the lifelike doll in her hand away.
Because she felt its warmth, and the doll in her hand even moved...
"Bang bang bang!~"
The lifelike doll thrown by Xiao Xiao was instantly torn to shreds by a Gatling gun.
"It really works~"
Although he had already tested it and confirmed it earlier, Ye Feng still felt a slight sense of relief seeing this scene again.
Immediately, his hand flashed, and he threw out a large number of lifelike dolls. The dolls, upon landing, began to run and jump.
"Bang bang bang~!"
"Whoosh~ Boom~"
"Bang~ Swoosh~ Puff!~"
For a time, the sounds of gunfire, flamethrowers, explosions, and energy gun attacks erupted continuously. A large number of lifelike dolls were either smashed to pieces or turned into fiery figures...
"Fuck, what's going on?"
"Why are there so many people suddenly? Where did they come from?"
"Is that that little guy..."
"It looks like an inflatable doll... No, inflatable dolls don't run and jump..."
...
Amidst the exclamations of the explorers, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, taking advantage of the brief intervals after the lifelike dolls were "killed," quickly advanced towards the mountaintop.
"This is an attack pattern! Quick, follow that guy!"
"Hurry! That guy found a way through!"
"Quick, grab a few inflatable dolls..."
...
The remaining explorers, after observing Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao, many of them also reacted and followed suit, cautiously moving towards the mountaintop in the same manner as Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
The explorers who had initially fled back to the foot of the mountain saw this and rejoined, eventually forming a rather long line...
Of course, some people, out of jealousy, tried to sneak attack Ye Feng at the front. However, before Ye Feng could even act, they were killed by other explorers...
Clearly, quite a few people had grasped the current situation!
After the lifelike dolls were eliminated one by one by the energy guns, flamethrowers, and other weapons, Ye Feng and a group of explorers finally passed through the firepower blockade near the mountainside.
"I really didn't expect those peculiar lifelike dolls from before to be useful in this way..."
Ye Feng glanced at the lifelike dolls and real beast dolls lying scattered below and muttered.
"Big brother, it's above!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's anxious voice rang out.
...
