Monsters Are Coming

The technology of the Mechanical Guardian Clan is highly advanced, and the detection methods he tried may not necessarily be effective.

Referencing important defensive areas in Eclipse City in reality, all are equipped with life detection systems. This is the core place of the Mechanical Guardian Clan and logically would have multiple defenses in place.

Although the energy of the Mechanical City is nearly exhausted, the body of the Eternal Tower still flickers from time to time, proving that the internal energy core is still operating.

Having thrown two more metal fragments, unable to determine if there are mechanisms, Ah Lan decided to approach personally.

At this time, the best choice would actually be to throw a teammate’s accessory to perform a life detection probe.

But doing so is obviously too outrageous.

Standing firm in front of the metal bridge, Ah Lan took the first step forward, stepping on the grid-like metal base plate.

He leaned back, ready to turn and run at any moment.

The first step was fine, then the second step, the third step.

When the fifth step landed, the spiritual patterns on the metal bridge lit up from the end, rapidly spreading to the starting point as they flickered.

Seeing this scene, Ah Lan didn’t even look at what would happen next and decisively turned around to run.

"Captain, a lot of mechanical creatures flew out from under the bridge, each with Level 40."

Ah Lan looked back while running, and a batch of mechanical life forms with various shapes emerged from under the bridge. Some resembled metal bats, with wings composed of sharp blades, some resembled Mechanical Spiders with eight legs flashing cold light as they ran, and others were like swarms of micro-drones, densely covering the entire view.

The indicator lights on these mechanical creatures flashed red, clearly indicating they had entered combat mode.

Driven by some invisible command, they swarmed in.

The size of these mechanical creatures was small, but upon scanning, Ah Lan was shocked.

The materials used to create these mechanical creatures are the Mechanical Guardian Clan’s most precious "Guardian Gold," each with a Hunting Level of 40+.

With their current strength, even one is unmatched, let alone a group.

Ah Lan’s running speed suddenly increased.

But no matter how fast he ran, flying was faster, and feeling the wind breaking sound coming from behind, Ah Lan ducked his head sharply.

The wings of a metal bat sliced across the top of his head, and the Eagle-Headed Demon teammate standing above was slain with one blow, instantly returning to Imperial Tomb Village.

"Captain, run fast, Little Chicken died so miserably."

Glancing at the teammate avatar that had turned grey in the team list, Ah Lan wanted to speed up even more, but heard another short scream from behind.

Another teammate was killed.

Realizing that there was no way to escape the pursuit of the Mechanical Army, Ah Lan decisively turned around, lifted the Rock Shield teammate, and slammed it into a flying metal bat.

"Captain, stop running. When two paths cross, the brave win. Let’s counterattack!"

As the words fell, a laser beam suddenly swept over, and Ah Lan’s body was instantly sliced into black mist and dissipated.

Seeing this, the teammates who landed all gave up resisting and calmly accepted death.

After all, they were no longer newbie players; the fear of death had long disappeared after the first time.

...

Upon entering the Little Black room, Ah Lan’s vision automatically switched to the forum interface.

Above was the resurrection countdown timer, ticking.

Although dead, Ah Lan was incredibly excited inside.

It proved that the Eternal Tower truly exists.

Although many settings are not yet complete, and even the original structure was significantly damaged, Ah Lan already has expectations for the future.

Not having logged out for a long time, he did not browse the forum information and chose to exit the game at this time.

The vision gradually became shrouded in darkness like a curtain closing at the end of a stage play.

After a brief sensation of weightlessness, consciousness was transmitted back to the body.

Hiss!

Four streams of white mist were ejected from the sides of the game pod.

The nutrient solution inside the game pod was evaporated, and the lid of the game pod moved up.

Ah Lan sat up inside the game pod.

Unlike most game pods used by races on Earth, Ah Lan’s game pod does not require periodic replacement of nutrient tanks.

The game pod employs a pipeline docking-type nutrition supply system, which significantly differs from traditional immersion-type nutrient solutions.

This design vaporizes the nutrient solution through a network of pipes and directly delivers it to the user’s skin surface, using nano-level penetration technology to maximize nutrient absorption efficiency.

After each game session, the intelligent system automatically evaporates and recovers the remaining nutrient solution to avoid waste and pollution.

The evaporation process also incorporates built-in purification to separate the water and trace components in the nutrient solution, condensing and recovering them. The skin tissue residues left in the liquid are decomposed into gas and expelled, absorbed and processed by the room’s air purification system.

Additionally, the game pod is equipped with a temperature regulation device to ensure he maintains the optimal physiological state during the game.

This design not only saves resources but also reduces user discomfort, suitable for prolonged virtual gaming sessions.

After obtaining the Monster World game qualification, Ah Lan also equipped his game pod with a motion system.

Every so often, a large number of micro air sacs are injected into the game pod, gently enveloping his body.

In this process, the air sacs rhythmically inflate and deflate like breathing, simulating muscle contraction and relaxation.

Joints are also pushed by the air sacs for gentle movements, such as ankle rotation and knee bending.

The body, under the precise control of the game pod, maintains healthy blood circulation and muscle activity, preventing muscle atrophy due to prolonged gaming and promoting blood circulation.

After exercise, the air sacs are automatically retracted.

Due to the nutrition supply system, such game pods need to connect to a city’s nutrition repository, which is why they haven’t yet become widespread in cities of Earth’s various races.
