Chapter 597 - 192: Invincible Newbie, Immortal Vajra
If we must find a reason, perhaps it’s because their dreams are too grand, even time can’t bear them.
In the Monster World, these four words signify cruelty and destruction to the vast majority of races.
Only a very few forces can sit at the table in the Monster World.
Most races are more like the Mechanical Guardian Clan, carrying their dreams, only to become the dust of a new era in the most tragic way.
Fortunately, he is a player.
The fate of the Mechanical Guardian Clan, which walked a similar development path to the Moon Eclipse Clan, left Ah Lan full of emotions.
But the difference is, standing behind them is a high-dimensional being that can change the future of the Moon Eclipse Clan, destined to follow a completely different path from the Mechanical Guardian Clan.
Boom!
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise.
Then came the exclamation from the teammate on the voice channel:
"This Mechanical Heart sacrificed to Brother Di Zhao can actually exchange for 70,000 sacrificial power (screenshot.jpg)."
Ah Lan focused his gaze on the screenshot, and the information automatically surfaced in his mind.
[Mechanical Heart (Damaged)]:
Quality: 56
Item Description: A special device created by the Mechanical Guardian Clan to utilize the efficiency of energy, reducing energy consumption (sacrificing to Di Zhao yields: 72,235 sacrificial power).
...
Putting the special paper in his hand into his Space Bag, Ah Lan looked forward.
His gaze scanned through the transparent glass towards the hall below, and he found, without knowing when, a team member had gone to the lower hall.
The screenshot of the decomposition earlier was also issued by this team member, who by now had been surrounded, overwhelmed, and killed by a swarm of Mechanical Spiders.
The awakened Mechanical Spiders at this moment turned and attacked.
"They’re coming toward us, close the door."
The captain in the control room called out immediately, then came to the heavy, rusted metal door and tried to shut it with Barbaric Force but found it wouldn’t budge no matter how hard he tried.
"Upper Realm Being, do you have any ideas?" The captain turned to look at Ah Lan standing by the console.
"Give up, we’re doomed," Ah Lan analyzed seriously.
"Use your Upper Realm being brain and think of something. This is my first time," Tu Bai said in desperation.
"Precisely because it’s the first time, you care. In truth, when it happens often, it’s just the same thing," Ah Lan shrugged indifferently, indicating he had no solution.
Before long, swarms of Mechanical Spiders surged through the passage like tides, and the control room’s squad members were instantly engulfed and torn apart by the tide.
The squad members’ vision was subsequently shrouded in Darkness.
Except for the captain, all other team members entered the small dark room for the first time.
...
An hour later.
The squad was resurrected at the space node in the Cave World.
After regrouping, they left the space and proceeded toward the direction of the tunnel once more.
Along the way, the squad members exchanged discoveries before their collective demise.
The Mechanical Core valued at 72,000 sacrificial power was very tempting to them.
If they could obtain this Mechanical Core, the progress speed of their team could significantly increase.
They might even afford to buy Armed Vehicles, or even growth pets.
However, the issue is the abundance of Combat Robot "Mechanical Spiders" near the Mechanical Core.
The first member who died posted the decomposition screenshot of the Mechanical Spider in the team chat channel.
In the analysis image, the Mechanical Spider was only the size of a head, and its long mechanical legs were like blades forged from steel, each joint gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.
[Mechanical Spider]:
Hunting Level: 7
Target Description: A cannon-fodder type species crafted by the Mechanical Guardian Clan, primarily used for large-scale battlefield front-line charges and enemy rear harassment, employing modular design, low production cost, easy for mass production, adapted for fighting in various complex terrains, with hooks at the end of each leg allowing them to move vertically on wall surfaces as if on flat ground.
...
The combat power of the Mechanical Spiders isn’t high, but their numbers are massive.
When fighting in fusion mode, it’s most feared to encounter such vast quantities of enemies, making it hard for the captain to care for other team members’ attachments when surrounded.
Moreover, their combat endurance is inherently weak, and once surrounded by Mechanical Spiders, escaping death is difficult.
"Why don’t we upgrade first, get our levels up, and then go to the tunnel?" Tu Bai suggested after some thought.
"I disagree. The location of the Mechanical Ruins tunnel is very obvious, and if we level up first, other player squads or even teams might discover it, creating too many competitors in the competition, making it much harder to obtain later," Ah Lan shook his head, indicating this suggestion was not feasible.
"Then what should we do? Several members in the team are very fragile, unable to withstand the attacks of the Mechanical Spiders. Added to our weak combat endurance, with each death of a teammate, the combat power in fusion mode greatly diminishes, we are no match for the Mechanical Spider army."
Tu Bai scratched his head, feeling troubled, then looked at Ah Lan:
"Upper Realm Being, do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Ah Lan.
Although the captain was in charge, Ah Lan had become the backbone of the team over time.
Facing the inquiries, Ah Lan thought for a while, organized his words, and nodded:
"I do have a method that can improve endurance and significantly enhance combat power, but it also comes with a series of drawbacks."
"Upper Realm Being, stop keeping us in suspense, get to the point," Tu Bai was instantly energized, looking at Ah Lan with anticipation.
Ah Lan smiled and nodded:
"The issue of weak endurance, and severe injury of one person requiring the entire team to rest, can actually be resolved through the deepening of Life Soul Fusion tactics."
