“Boom!”
Fern threw the small bomb towards the wolf king. After the huge roar ended, Fern looked towards the place that was blown up and found that the golden wolf was lying there with wounds all over its body, its skin torn and flesh exposed, and even some bones exposed. Fern was a little surprised, and the purple-gold-eyed demon, Barbara, and Guaiguai were also very surprised.
This small bomb was too powerful. The golden wolf lay on the ground, wailing with its last breath. It was unable to move and could only roar slightly. Fern said to the golden wolf: "I'll give you a quick death, Combat No. 223!"
Combat robot No. 223 immediately shot a beam of light at the golden wolf, thus ending the wolf's life. Fern and the others were already exhausted, so Fern decided not to move forward for the time being and just rest where he was. Fern asked combat robot No. 223 to cast fire magic and spray out some flames.
The golden wolf that had just been defeated was dismembered, and then the wolf legs were placed directly in front of the flames emitted by combat robot No. 223 and began to roast them. Slowly, the aroma of the meat wafted out. Fortunately, this was not a forest or anything, so there was no need to worry about attracting more monsters.
The purple-gold-eyed monster and Barbara stared at the wolf leg in Fern's hand. Guaiguai was okay, having survived on berries for hundreds of years and had forgotten the taste of meat, so he was not very interested in the wolf leg. Fern cut off a large piece of meat and handed it to Barbara first, then cut two more pieces of meat and handed them to the purple-gold-eyed monster and Guaiguai respectively.
Fern and his friends had a very pleasant meal. Since they entered the Magic City, they had always eaten fish. This time, they finally changed their food. Guaiguai was very satisfied with the meal. After they had rested for a while, they continued to move forward. This time, following the pattern of the wall's movement, Fern and his friends soon saw the light and did not encounter any monsters or the like.
So, Fern took Barbara, the purple-gold-eyed monster and the strange one, and followed the combat robot No. 223 and ran quickly towards the light. When Fern and others arrived at the light, the walls behind them were moving relative to each other, so the road that Fern and others had just walked on disappeared instantly.
Then Fern and the others were dumbfounded. The cave in front of them was very large. They didn't know why, but it made people feel awe-inspiring. There was nothing in the cave except a box. Barbara was about to step forward to check what was in the box when she was stopped by Fern. "Be careful!" Fern shouted at Barbara and immediately pulled her back.
The cave, which had been empty just now, was suddenly covered with vines. The vines were as thick as pythons, which made Fern feel terrified. Barbara looked at Fern with gratitude in her eyes and exclaimed, "How could this happen!" Fern looked at Barbara and said, "I don't know what happened."
So he said to the robot: "223, scan this place." The robot shot a red light from its eyes, and the red light swept forward in a fan shape. After a while, 223 said to Fern: "Master, this is an ancient plant called ghost vine. This plant is very rare and almost extinct."
Fern looked at the robot and said to him, "Someone must have put it here to protect the box." Barbara said, "This box may contain the life force. It is actually guarded by a creature like the ghost vine." Fern looked at Barbara excitedly and asked quickly, "Really? There... there is life force in it, is... is it true?" Fern looked at Barbara excitedly. He finally found it. So, "As long as we defeat this ghost vine, we can get the box, right?" Barbara grabbed Fern's hand and asked.
Fern looked at the excitement in Barbara's eyes and couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he turned around, looked at the box and said, "It should be." But he was thinking, even if it is, what can we do? The powerful ghost vine is not so easy to defeat. This creature is very tenacious. What method can be used to defeat it and successfully obtain the life force? Fern looked at Barbara and said, "Okay, let's deal with this ghost vine first." He turned to 223 and said, "223, fire generally has this natural restraint on plants. Try to use fire magic to attack it."
After receiving the order from Fern, Combat Robot No. 223 said, "Okay, master, you guys step back a little, I'll try the fire magic." Fern nodded to Barbara, the purple-gold-eyed monster, and the strange monster, and walked back and looked at Combat Robot No. 223. Combat Robot No. 223 saw that they all withdrew from the range of the battle, turned its head to the cave full of ghost vines, and after activating the magic formula, a ball of fire suddenly appeared and was thrown forward.
The flames were moving rapidly in the direction they were thrown. The ghost vines seemed to sense a fatal danger. The ghost vines on the ground suddenly turned into a wall as if someone was controlling it. The wall was full of disgusting liquid. The flames collided with the wall, but the imagined thing did not happen. What they saw was the flames being extinguished all of a sudden. Fern was surprised. It was worthy of being a ghost vine from ancient times. It was not afraid of fire.
So he continued to say to Combat Robot No. 223: "Keep attacking, the ghost vine is a plant, it can't be not afraid of fire, use a bigger flame to burn it!" After receiving the order from Combat Robot No. 223, a layer of armor that looked like flames appeared on its body, and a strange weapon that looked like a knife but not a knife, and a sword but not a sword appeared in its hand. The weapon was full of flames, like a ball of fire.
Combat robot No. 223 floated into the air and slowly walked towards the wall that the ghost vine had transformed into. When it floated near the ghost vine, combat robot No. 223 suddenly accelerated and attacked the ghost vine. The weapon in its hand that looked like a knife but not a knife, and a sword but not a sword, chopped down at the ghost vine.
As if it felt the sharp breath breaking through the air and the scorching temperature, the ghost vine instantly rushed forward with its own vines, trying to resist. The vines and the strange weapon collided with each other, "Ding!!" Sparks flew and the crisp sound of metal resounded throughout the cave.
Combat robot No. 223 suddenly retreated, but the ghost vine seemed to be fine. The purple-gold eyed monster instantly changed back to its true form to help combat robot No. 223. Seeing this, Fern said to combat robot No. 223, "Don't confront the ghost vine head-on. After all, the ghost vine is an ancient thing. There must be a reason why it can survive from ancient times to the present. It's not that simple. Use fire magic to attack him remotely. Use the most powerful fire magic." Combat robot No. 223 received Fern's order and aimed its front at the ghost vine. The flames on its body disappeared immediately.
But in the blink of an eye, Battle Robot No. 223 suddenly emitted a ball of white stuff, which burned like a flame in front of Battle Robot No. 223. As soon as the white flame appeared, the temperature in the entire cave suddenly rose. Seeing the temperature getting higher and higher, Fern hurriedly said to the Purple-Golden-Eyed Monster: "Purple-Golden-Eyed Monster, come back immediately."
The purple-gold-eyed demon didn't understand why Fern asked him to withdraw from the battle, but he did it anyway. Barbara quickly used water magic to block them from Battle Robot No. 223, but he was surprised to find that although his magic blocked the distance between them, the heating temperature was still transmitted. So he looked at Fern in surprise. Fern explained to Barbara: "This kind of flame is the flame on the surface of the sun. When the flame reaches its extreme, it will slowly turn white. This kind of fire can burn everything, but it can only be used once. The temperature of the flame is too high. Battle Robot No. 223's body can't withstand such a high temperature and will melt with the flame."
As soon as Fern finished speaking, combat robot No. 223 suddenly fired flames at the ghost vine. The flames instantly covered the entire ghost vine. The desolate screams filled the entire valley, and slowly the sound became smaller and then disappeared completely.
At this time, the temperature of the cave gradually dropped, and Barbara withdrew the magic. Fern hurried to the battle robot No. 223, only to see that the battle robot No. 223 was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye and slowly disappeared. He looked at Barbara with sadness in his eyes. Barbara patted his shoulder comfortingly and said encouragingly: "Battle robot No. 223 was willing to die in order to let you get the life force. You must work hard."
Fern nodded: "Yes, I must get the life force." Fern slowly walked towards the box, stood in front of the box, and opened the box. In an instant, the whole room was surrounded by a green light. Fern quickly covered the box, and the green light disappeared.
Then he looked at Barbara excitedly and said, "It's the force of life, that's right." Barbara also smiled and said, "Yes, let's go back quickly." Fern nodded at Barbara, and Fern took Barbara, the purple-gold eyed monster and the strange man out of the cave quickly.
After leaving the cave, Fern said to the Purple-Golden-Eyed Monster: "Purple-Golden-Eyed Monster, send us up one by one." The Purple-Golden-Eyed Monster changed back to its true form and sent Fern, Barbara and Guaiguai back to the temple. Barbara was unhappy all the way, and Fern said comfortingly: "It's okay, I'll make another Battle No. 223 for you later at the academy."
Barbara shook her head and said, "If we make another one, it won't be the original Combat Robot No. 223." Although Combat Robot No. 223 is just a robot, after so long, Barbara has developed feelings for Combat Robot No. 223. The same is true for Fern. In this world, only robots made by Fern himself can make Fern feel the sense of belonging he had on the blue planet.
