Chapter 122 Mechanical Fish King
The origin of the Wind Shadow Jade may be more mysterious than Chen Qing imagined; it may not actually be a product of the mechanical ruins.
Chen Qing remained seated inside the Wind Shadow Emerald, not making any rash moves, and looked up at the nest.
The sky was filled with mechanical fish that shimmered with an eerie, cold light. If you ignored their aggressiveness, the scene was actually quite beautiful.
Mechanical, magnificent, fantastical.
Apart from the Windshadow Emerald, there was almost nothing to be seen in the pitch-black nest.
However, through the few Wind Shadow Jadeite creatures she controlled, Chen Qing could sense that deep within the nest, there must be a Mechanical Fish King.
If she can control that fish king, then she should be able to control the entire Wind Shadow Emerald Clan.
However, Chen Qing wasn't sure either.
Fengying Jade is a mechanical fish, emphasizing the mechanical aspect rather than the fish itself.
Whether the so-called Fish King is their actual ruler or just a nominal representative, Chen Qing will only be able to determine after meeting the Fish King.
He gave commands to the controlled Wind Shadow Emeralds, which carried Chen Qing through one mechanical behemoth after another, deeper into the lair.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Qing was also able to observe the condition of these Wind Shadow Jadeite pieces.
Indeed, their bodies contain many small, nascent jadeite buds.
The small emerald shadows floated quietly on the lower part of the carrier, appearing lifeless.
All the Wind Shadow Jadeite, regardless of size, remained quietly in their positions without making any movement.
Apart from the few Wind Shadow Jadeite creatures controlled by Chen Qing.
Furthermore, Chen Qing discovered something else: the lower abdomens of some of the Wind Shadow Jadeite bodies were pressed tightly against the ground, and the small Wind Shadows inside their bodies had not yet taken shape.
However, with each passing second, Xiao Fengying became more perfect than before.
These changes are difficult to observe with the naked eye, but they are changing at a speed that is perceptible to the naked eye.
As for Chen Qing, she could barely make out the specific changes in Xiao Fengying's body.
Almost every minute, a new part would appear on those unformed little wind shadow bodies.
Although the location of the Wind Shadow Jadeite has not been moved, the mechanical parts and components inside it have been operating continuously.
Based on the rumors about Fengying Jade in the Deep Blue Sea, Chen Qing quickly realized something.
There appears to be a mineral vein beneath their nest.
Moreover, the other intelligent beings outside the nest were unaware of the existence of this mineral vein.
This was an unexpected delight.
As Chen Qing ventured deeper into the lair, he discovered something unusual.
These emeralds actually do build nests.
There was nothing on the outer perimeter of the nest, but from the inner circle onwards, some metallic-looking structures appeared inside the nest.
Chen Qing had Fengying Emerald lead her around the entire nest, showing her all the architectural creations.
At the same time, she quickly drew all these creations.
When he returned to the starting point, Chen Qing frowned as he looked at the contents of the blueprint in his hand.
She didn't know if there were similar structures in the deep blue or crimson seas, but she was certain there weren't in the gemstone sea.
Combining these unknown buildings together... Chen Qing's fingertips lightly tapped on the blueprints.
The Emeralds seem to be trying to build a colossal structure, but their methods appear to be flawed.
This building could never be completed, and even if it were built, it would collapse very quickly.
They are machines, and in theory, such problems shouldn't occur.
To build an impossible structure... was it the order of its creators, or...?
Machines only operate according to a set program, so the problem must be with their program.
Chen Qing didn't know the answer; with her current abilities, researching the Wind Shadow Jade would be a very difficult task.
Chen Qing could only temporarily record this matter on her to-do list.
The most urgent task at present is to seize control of the Mechanical Fish King, and Chen Qing needs the assistance of the Water-Covered Healing Butterfly.
She couldn't possibly accomplish this on her own; her mental strength simply couldn't sustain it.
Wind Shadow Jade led Chen Qing deeper into the nest, and the deeper they went, the fewer Wind Shadow Jade pieces there were in the depths of the nest.
At the same time, they are also much larger than the Wind Shadow Emeralds outside.
Furthermore, the number of small wind shadows that are "nurtured" within their bodies is even smaller.
It wasn't until Fengying Jade brought Chen Qing to the Mechanical Fish King that this happened.
Surprisingly, the mechanical fish king was not very big.
It was the size of a dolphin that Chen Qing had seen before, but its appearance was very different from other Wind Shadow Emeralds.
Other types of jadeite are transparent, allowing you to clearly see their internal structure.
The mechanical fish king was pitch black all over, almost blending into the surrounding seawater.
If Chen Qing hadn't sensed the mechanical energy, she would have definitely overlooked this king of fish.
Compared to the powerful and intimidating Wind Shadow Emeralds outside, this Fish King seemed much more peaceful and appeared to have no aggression whatsoever.
Chen Qing stared at the king of fish for a long time, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
However, she needs to verify this idea.
Emerging from the body of the Wind Shadow Jade, Chen Qing landed in front of the Fish King.
The instant Chen Qing left the body of the Wind Shadow Emerald, all the Wind Shadow Emeralds in the nest opened their eyes, their eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
This is the prelude to the impending uprising of Windshadow Emerald!
They all turned around in unison, facing the direction where Chen Qing landed.
Just as they were about to kill Chen Qing, Chen Qing's mental power had already probed into the core of the Mechanical Fish King and begun its invasion.
Her presence was masked by the Mechanical Fish King, and the Wind Shadow Emeralds, who were originally planning to riot, were momentarily confused and lost their way, so they had to remain quiet for the time being.
Chen Qing, who had hacked into the core of the Mechanical Fish King, successfully verified her conjecture after the hack.
The role of the Fish King is not what they imagined.
Generally, the king of a tribe is the one who possesses the strongest power and absolute control.
However, the king of the Wind Shadow Emerald Clan acts more like a messenger.
A more precise description would be that it is the mechanic among these machines.
Its most important responsibility is to pass on knowledge to the newly born Fengying Jadeite.
Chen Qing, whose mental energy had entered the mechanical core, also understood why she had that feeling before.
The Fish King's mechanical core is completely different from other Wind Shadow Jadeite. Compared to those Wind Shadow Jadeite, its mechanical core looks very dilapidated.
The maze it depicts is extremely dilapidated, with rusty walls, debris scattered everywhere, and large holes visible in all directions...
There's a problem with the inheritance of the Fengying Jadeite Clan.
No wonder the buildings constructed by the Wind Shadow Emeralds felt so strange.
If this continues, the legacy of Fengying Jade will only dwindle.
In the end...
