Chapter 69-69- Mountain Whale
"Wow, God of Machinery, how can there be such a terrifying group of deformed monsters! Miss Kindhearted, why don't you look scared at all?" After the whales left, Bingyu broke free from the state of crouching with her head in her hands and couldn't help but say.
"I believe the Machine God will bless us," said Yvette.
Bingyu immediately puffed up her face, thinking that she was just trying to fool her, but she had no evidence. After all, she couldn't question the great God.
Then she remembered the earth wall summoned by the silver-haired girl just a moment ago. It didn't seem to use any magical device, but it really did achieve this, just like the legendary human magician.
Animal taming, magic... Miss Kindheart's methods are really increasing. Is she really going to evolve into a human?
Thinking of this, as a human admirer, Bingyu couldn't help but feel envious, which dispelled the panic brought by the whale group.
Although the first mechanical being to ascend to become a human has not yet been born, everything has a first time. Based on the realm and mystery displayed by Miss Kindhearted, Bingyu feels that the possibility of her successful ascension is quite high.
At least in her, Bingyu never found the sense of incongruity that she was deliberately imitating humans. Every move she made was extremely natural, which was quite rare in the entire mechanical race.
If Miss Kindhearted could one day become a human, then she would be a good friend of humans! She secretly believed that this would be a good idea.
On the other side...
Noticing the whale group leaving, Dugrabi also breathed a sigh of relief, stopped crawling on the ground, raised his dragon head again, and regained the pride of the dragon clan.
In its opinion, the moment just now was undoubtedly the most critical moment in its journey through time. The group of terrifying giant demons were most likely the capable subordinates of the Witch of the End, and could easily destroy a city on the continent. Even though they were hundreds or thousands of meters away, it still felt terrified, as if it had walked through the gates of hell.
The Land of the End is truly terrifying, with monsters lurking everywhere! Fortunately, I have the protection of the gods around me...
It secretly glanced at the silver-haired girl, and suddenly felt that this third-rate wild god who had humiliated it and made it hate him so much before, now looked unexpectedly much more friendly and safe, and even made it feel less resistant to pulling the cart.
Well, come to think of it, I did break the car myself, so pulling it back up would be a way to make up for my mistake, and that's in line with Dragon's nature...
…
After witnessing the terrifying group of deformed flying whales, Dugrabi, who was unwilling to stay for long, began to pull the cart even harder, and before nightfall, he, Yvette, and Bingyu arrived at a valley near their destination.
According to Bingyu's introduction, there is a puppet kingdom in this valley, which is also the only puppet kingdom around the ruined city of Kux.
"Where is the village?" After translating for Dugrabi, Dugrabi pulled the car to the bottom of the valley and looked around. All he could see were the ruins of the town and mountains that were almost completely swallowed by the heavy snow. It was all white, and there was not a single living person in sight.
Bingyu and Yvette were also a little confused. They looked around for a while and made some noise.
Not long after, a hidden stone door suddenly opened at the foot of the nearby mountains. Yvette saw a shabby puppet sticking its head out from inside, looking at everyone in confusion.
It had no mouth, but a speaker inside its body, and asked in a raspy, synthesized voice, "Who are you...?"
Yvette didn't speak immediately, but took a look and found that the style of this puppet was particularly industrial. The lower half of the cylindrical body was two short legs, and the upper half was a spherical head and two tweezer-like arms. The style was very crude and full of rust. It should have been owned by some factory in the past, replacing humans and becoming a mechanical laborer on the assembly line.
"Hello! We're travelers passing through!" Bingyu said as she walked over. She was the only pure-blooded mechanical puppet among the three. The occasional exposed joints and spherical joints on her body effectively lowered the guard of other mechanical creatures.
"So it's a traveler." The shabby puppet relaxed suddenly. Although his smooth face was expressionless, the change in tone was very obvious. But then he noticed the black dragon pulling the cart, froze for a moment, and said in horror, "What is that?!... A deformed creature?"
"No, that's a tamed wild animal. Look, it's pulling our carriage, just like a horse-drawn carriage in human civilization," said Bingyu.
"So that's how it is! How amazing!" The simple, shabby golem immediately believed it, not doubting it for a second. It said enthusiastically, "Two guests who have come from afar, please come in and have a seat."
"Wait, do I have to stay outside forever?" Seeing Yvette and Bingyu walking towards the stone gate and then gesturing at the height of the stone gate, Dugrabi yelled.
"You can find a place to stay for a while," said Yvette.
“Damn it…”
A minute later, as they entered the stone gate, Bingyu immediately asked curiously, "What did Mr. Camel Beast say just now? Is he mad at us for abandoning him?"
Due to her lack of knowledge of animal taming techniques, she did not think it was strange that wild animals could speak. She even deduced that in the era of human civilization, communication between humans and wild animals might be a common thing. She only hated that she did not understand animal language and could not be as versatile as humans.
"It said it likes to be alone and asked us not to disturb it," said Yvette.
"So that's how it is. I thought it was lonely." Bingyu said embarrassedly.
As she spoke, Yvette turned her head and looked around.
Unlike the Golem Town in Agasa, the Golem Kingdom members here were staying in what looked like an air-raid shelter. This puzzled her, considering that the Golems, despite imitating humans, didn't feel the cold.
"Mr. Puppet, Mr. Puppet." She called softly.
"Miss Traveler, you can just call me 'Copper Skin'." The puppet turned its head. There were only two red cameras on its face representing its eyes. It had no other facial features. Its empty face looked a little eerie in the dark environment.
But its tone was actually quite gentle, with the simplicity of a country youth. Yvette immediately introduced herself and asked, "What's the name of your kingdom? Why do you live in a bomb shelter?"
"Miss Yvette, our kingdom is called the 'Clan of Kux,' and we're a group of mechanical compatriots from all corners of the world. We don't have the distinguished 'noble bloodlines' of the Four Kingdoms, and we're not many, no more than 30 people right now," said Copperskin. "We don't want to live in the air-raid shelter forever. We'd like to go outside and repair the house left by the Creators, but there are often terrifying mountain whales passing by, and they're likely to attack us, so we have no choice."
"Mountain whale?" Bingyu asked in surprise. "Is it a huge, whale-like, deformed creature that can fly and travel in groups?"
"Yes, have you seen them?" Bronze Skin said in surprise, "Those mountain whales are very dangerous. Are you okay?"
"They didn't notice us." Bingyu said.
"That's good."
"Where did the mountain whales come from?" Yvette asked immediately when she thought of the various suspicious points about those deformed whales.
She didn't think that those giant flying whales were distorted ordinary whales. She had seen real distorted whales when she was crossing the sea, and their evolutionary ideas were completely different from this one.
"We don't know either. They suddenly appeared from the center of the ruined city of Kux. It's too dangerous there. After we prayed to the gods, the temple headquarters dispatched a divinely blessed person, but he couldn't get close to that place and was nearly seriously injured."
"Even the God's Grace..." Bingyu said in surprise. This is the strongest combat force of the Mechanical Clan, and also the main force of the Holy Temple to protect the various kingdoms!
When she and Dugrabi joined hands, they were in great danger and chaos when fighting a third-stage aberration, but if a divinely blessed one came, he would be killed instantly!
Such an invincible existence can also be injured?
"Mr. Divine Grace told us that the monsters in Kux are all very abnormal and far more dangerous than they should be. Risking going deeper would be more trouble than it's worth. He also told us not to stay here and to move the kingdom away. Unfortunately, we've all lived here for a long time and have developed feelings for it, so..."
At this point, Tongpi sighed: "Actually, I support moving, but everyone doesn't want to, so forget it. After all, everyone loves this place. We love its history, the scenery, and the memories we created together."
Listening to its sad tone, Bingyu seemed to have some empathy, probably because she was recalling her hometown in Yinjingzhou.
Yvette frowned, her attention still focused on the mountain whale.
The danger far exceeded the expected level, which meant her judgment was correct. Those mountain whales were stage one aberrations, yet they possessed flight techniques that could only be mastered by stage three and above... and there were many more of these strange and dangerous aberrations in Kux...
Is there any point in going hunting? Isn't it possible that after a round of hunting, the amount of distortion magic in my body will not increase, but decrease?
