Tianxia Guihuo's words made the Dead Team fall into deep thought. Indeed, according to the previous mechanism of the Spirit Realm, the copy would give a prompt sound after completing the task.
Seeing his teammates in deep thought, Brother Red Chicken also thought for a while, and then said:
"I think you, the shame of the fire master, are just arguing!"
Tianxia Guihuo said coldly with a straight face: "The heads on our necks are not for show. Think about it, the Spirit Realm will not make mistakes, so it must be our fault. There are other reasons for the demise of the Mechanical City."
Brother Red Chicken was not convinced: "It can't be that we have already completed the task, but the mechanism of the mechanical city requires us to pass the level and cannot turn back, so we can only trigger the spiritual realm prompt after we defeat the boss."
Tianxia Guihuo asked back: "Then explain to me why there was a reminder sound after completing the side quest 'Enter the Mechanical City before dark'? We had already entered the Mechanical City at that time."
Brother Red Chicken thought about it and came up with an idea: "That's because it's not closed yet."
Tian Xia Gui Huo was speechless for a moment.
Brother Red Chicken is sometimes very clever.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, "Could it be that the black-robed ghost's memory is wrong, and he is deliberately trying to mislead us?"
Xiaoyuan nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility."
The team was silent for a few seconds, and Guan Ya said, "If Brother Hongji's guess is true, we are in danger. In the memory of the resentful spirit, the one who led the troops to attack the Mo Sect was the ancient god of war. The final boss of the Mechanical City is likely to be him."
"Impossible!" Zhao Chenghuang's face changed slightly. "It is impossible for us to encounter a master-level boss. The final enemy of the Mechanical City is either two or three level six, or a weak master-level one."
They all come from "prominent families" and their understanding and knowledge of the spiritual realm mechanisms far exceeds that of wild travelers.
If it is a copy where all members are at the peak of level 6, the boss must be at the Domination level, otherwise how can the Spiritual Realm Walker be tempered? A boss of the same level may not necessarily be a match for the Spiritual Realm Walker.
But in their team, fourth-level saints make up the majority, so in the end, the enemy will not be able to dominate.
Considering Yuanshi Tianzun's strength, two or three level six bosses can hardly pose a fatal threat to him, so the boss of the Machinery City is most likely a weak overlord.
Guan Ya said: "What I mean is that it is very likely a weakened ancient war god. Even if that is the case, it is still an evil profession at the peak of combat power. It is difficult for the team to have zero casualties."
Zhang Yuanqing said: "It's useless to worry about the future. Let's go meet the boss first. Logically, we still have to go through another level."
After resting for a while, the team set out again and found a cave leading to the interior of the Mechanical City on the cliff on the east side of the valley.
They went forward along the winding cave, sometimes going up, sometimes going down, with many twists and turns. There were many corpses lying on the way. They avoided the poison needles, hidden arrows and other traps according to the distribution of the corpses.
The further you go in, the stronger the mechanism becomes. The poison needles and hidden arrows are so poisonous that even Xiaoyuan cannot withstand them, and they also have armor-piercing effects.
After moving forward cautiously for fifteen minutes, we finally walked out of the cave and the view ahead was suddenly clear.
This is a huge space that has almost been hollowed out of the mountain. It is filled with Song Dynasty-style buildings that are arranged in an orderly manner and the streets are neatly divided. It looks like a small ancient city.
The small town also has a developed water supply, ventilation and lighting system. There are several large pools of water on the edge of the city, and beside the pools are rows of water wheels and several water rooms.
The water room will divert part of the clean water into the artificially dug river for the disciples' daily use.
A huge crystal plate with a diameter of about sixty meters is embedded on the top of the tall and wide cave. It focuses the light outside the mountain and brings light to this underground city.
The stone wall is built with layers of corridors, which spiral outward and lead to the top of the cave. Every ten meters in the corridor, there is a hole with a diameter of two meters. It is preliminarily estimated that it is a ventilation system.
I just didn't hear the sound of the exhaust fan. It might be because it has been abandoned for too long and the living system here has long stopped working, or maybe the ancients used holes as a way of ventilation.
"It's really spectacular! This should be the headquarters of the Mo Sect. If it hadn't been damaged, it would have been even more spectacular." Sun Miaomiao
Sighed in a low voice.
Yes, it's all broken.
The Song Dynasty town seemed to have been violently demolished, and most of the buildings collapsed. The outer areas were still okay, with many remaining intact. But the further inland you went, the more ruined it became.
There must have been a earth-shattering battle in the city center back then.
The grottoes made the corridors in layers also fragmented, breaking one section after another. The iron ropes hanging from the corridors, which should have been carrying pedals, wooden barrels, etc. for lifting objects, now became ropes of varying lengths.
In addition, judging from the traces on the ground, there should have been many strange mechanical creations here, because the team saw something similar to railroad tracks.
But now it is in ruins.
While Sun Miaomiao was sighing, Zhao Chenghuang, Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya each used the Soul Devouring and Insight techniques to observe the breath of the resentful spirits and the living.
"There is no scent of evil spirits." Zhang Yuanqing said.
"The presence of living people has been detected in the city center." Guan Ya made a discovery. He looked at his boyfriend and said, "Kick me."
Zhang Yuanqing understood what he meant and bent his body to expose his knees.
Guan Ya took a few steps back, then sprinted forward. With a step from Zhang Yuanqing's knee, she soared into the air with her agile and tall figure, leaping more than ten meters high.
Zhang Yuanqing's knee broke with a "crack".
This kick was somewhat personal. Zhang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and hugged Sun Miaomiao beside him: "Help me, help me..."
At this critical moment, he didn't dare touch Xiaoyuan.
Sun Miaomiao resisted symbolically for a few times, then took the initiative to hold his waist and stopped using her waist as a crutch.
Xiao Yuan glanced at Sun Miaomiao, then looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "Do you want this little sister to help you?"
She was referring to Asano Ryo.
"Aunt Xiaoyuan, stop being so sarcastic... Guan Ya is coming down."
Guan Ya landed on the ground with a thud and spoke very quickly: "There is an open space in the city center, about 1.2 kilometers away from us. There is a... mecha in the open space. There are signs of life inside the mecha. Apart from that, no other enemies have been detected."
"Mecha? Are you sure you mean a mecha? 1.2 kilometers, can you see clearly?" Brother Red Chicken looked unconvinced, but also very interested: "What kind? Is it tall or a Transformer?"
"Are all you men so boring? I said the enemy was a mecha. Do you care whether it was a Gundam or a Transformer?" Guan Ya said coldly. "Let me put it another way. It was a three-meter-tall mechanical creature in human form. As for whether I could see it clearly or not, you don't need to worry about it."
"Stop talking nonsense. Now that we know who the enemy is, let's follow the old rules and send out the cannon fodder." Zhang Yuanqing gave the order and immediately looked at Brother Red Chicken. "I said that Optimus Prime is the most handsome Transformer. Is that right?"
"I think it's a bumblebee." Brother Red Chicken was not convinced.
Emperor Zhao Cheng quietly took out the bronze box, summoned a supernatural corpse, and manipulated it to walk through the messy streets and deep into the city center. The range of the terracotta warriors was limited and could not be remotely controlled.
Sun Miaomiao didn't want to play with the Yin corpse, and Yuanshi Tianzun's Yin corpse was at the saint stage, so it would be a waste to use it as cannon fodder. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun agreed, Zhao Chenghuang would not agree.
I can't stand this kind of prodigal son. Yuanshi Tianzun was quite loyal and left him a level 5 Yin corpse. Zhao Chenghuang planned to buy Sun Miaomiao's corpse as well, but because they were childhood sweethearts, he let her give him a 40% discount.
Zhao Chenghuang cut off his scattered thoughts, entered the corpse, carefully stepped over bricks and broken wood, and avoided large and small pits. After a while, he arrived at the central area and saw a three-meter-tall humanoid mechanical creature standing quietly.
He finally understood why Guan Ya called it a mecha. Compared with the puppet he had seen before, this mechanical creation was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
The three-meter-tall body is made of bronze, and the joints such as the elbows, knees, and wrists are made of strong brass parts.
Its body is tall but not rough, and can even be called beautiful. Its shape is a standard inverted triangle, with broad shoulders, a thin waist and long legs. Its bronze body is embellished with exquisite retro patterns.
The details are extremely fine, and the forearm is embedded
The mechanical bag for storing bows and arrows has a bulging chest and abdomen. It is impossible to tell what's inside, but it must be well stocked.
In one hand he held a two-meter-long steel sword, and in the other he held a bronze shield as big as a door panel.
Emperor Zhao Cheng withdrew his gaze and examined this core area.
Under the feet of the mechanical creation is a Bagua diagram with a diameter of one hundred meters, cast from brass, bronze and black iron, and it stands on the Tai Chi fish.
There are no buildings in this area, similar to a civic square in a city.
Of course, there was no such saying in ancient times. The fact that this cast iron Bagua diagram was cast in the center of the city shows that it was an extremely important "building".
Emperor Zhao Cheng walked out of the street and came to the edge of the Bagua diagram. He saw three stone tablets standing on the left, engraved with "Universal Love, Non-Aggression", "Heavenly Will, Advocate Unity" and "Expel the Jin Thieves" respectively.
"Two stone tablets... that mechanical creation must be the boss. Isn't the big boss of Mo Zong's Mechanical City the ancient god of war? The villain of the copy is actually Mo Zong." Zhao Chenghuang was surprised.
According to the rules of the Mechanical City, two "thoughts" equal one level, and they passed three levels and six thoughts. There were still four thoughts and two levels left.
Now that all four Mohist thoughts are here, it is obvious that this cave is the final map and the final level.
This is different from what they thought before.
Zhao Chenghuang retracted his gaze and looked at the mechanical creation in the center of the Bagua diagram, wondering whether he should rush to the front of the mechanism, jump up and hit its knee, and test the boss's attack method.
The next second, his eyeballs shook violently. The mechanical creature had stood two meters away from him without him noticing, holding the cast iron machete high.
The corpse of Emperor Zhao Cheng is a bewitching demon. It retains its fighting instinct and possesses extraordinary reaction, coordination and explosive power.
The moment he saw the mechanical creation, his body instinctively reacted faster than he could and he dodged, but his tense body suddenly lost control, and the tension and sense of crisis in his heart disappeared for no reason. The mechanical creation in front of him seemed to have turned into an amiable elder, a close friend, and a family member he could rely on...
The next second, the cast iron long knife fell, and the corpse was split into two.
Emperor Zhao Cheng, who was standing outside the city, suddenly opened his eyes, looking confused.
Guan Ya examined his expression and said, "You look like you were betrayed by your brother, your father borrowed money at high interest rates and put your name on it, your wife cheated on you and the child is not your own. It's rare to see such a rich expression... What happened to you?"
Zhang Yuanqing and others were shocked. They didn't expect that Emperor Zhao Cheng would suffer so much harm after just one trip to the city.
