After collecting all the material cards, Liu Nian finally had the opportunity to enter this mysterious area.
The ground lights were turned off as soon as the earthquake stopped, plunging the entire area back into darkness.
Now, only the lantern and raven in Liu Nian's hand are emitting faint light.
This glimmer of light couldn't illuminate all the summoned creatures; darkness mercilessly reaped their lives.
Liu Nian was forced to recall his troops. The mysterious enemy in the darkness was invincible, and even the most powerful terrifying knight could only stand there and be beaten.
Large units could not be completely covered by the light, and now only Tiffany, who was also a mage, and a small number of flying units remained by his side.
Since the spirits don't take up much space, Liu Nian discovered that they could stack on top of each other in the same spot, creating a spectacular sight.
However, Liu Nian had no mind to observe this grand occasion. The place was eerily frightening, so it was best to get there as soon as possible.
Exploring along the edge of this area, it's hard to imagine what it would feel like to have a bottomless abyss on one side and skyscrapers on the other.
After venturing a short distance further, some dilapidated buildings appeared before Liu Nian. As the exploration continued, Liu Nian also passed several statues of various shapes, which emitted a golden light and seemed to be made of pure gold.
Tsk tsk, if you brought it home in the real world, wouldn't you be set for life?
As Liu Nian observed the statues with a sigh, his mind wandered into the void.
Further on, there were some broken mechanical devices scattered on the ground, which looked like they needed some parts to get them working again.
However, this raised Liu Nian's question: if the shadow monsters from earlier were clearly supernatural creatures, then why were there also some seemingly scientific mechanical creations?
Where exactly is this place? Is magic and science coexisting?
A series of questions need to be answered, but Liu Nian has no clues at all and can only go with the flow.
Don't blame him for repeatedly thinking about these unrealistic problems; being in such an environment could drive a person crazy in no time.
Therefore, shifting the focus is a good method, like Liu Nian did.
Before long, Liu Nian felt that he had penetrated deep into the center, and the ravens in front of him issued a warning.
Before it could finish its warning, the raven's warning came to an abrupt halt with a scream, leaving only a dim, glowing fruit rolling on the ground.
Enemy attack? This news instantly put Liu Nian on alert.
After determining the approximate location where the raven had disappeared, Liu Nian slowly approached that place.
After passing between two enormous stone pillars, the raven finally landed in the center of the pillars.
Before Liu Nian could examine it carefully, a deafening mechanical sound accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground came from behind.
The target was in the shadows directly in front of me, so I couldn't see its face, but it must be quite large to be able to cause this kind of vibration.
If it's large in size, it will definitely be slow, but that's not a big problem.
Liu Nian's heart tightened, and her mind raced as she calculated.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing: although the mechanical object was huge, it moved very quickly.
Don't ask Liu Nian how he knew, because the other party was rushing towards Liu Nian at high speed like a tank.
Liu Nian was surrounded by nimble flying units. The vampire decisively chose to take off to avoid the impact, while it didn't matter whether the ghost dodged or not.
Their timely reactions only made Liu Nian appear more flustered.
As it drew closer and closer, he had no choice but to confront it head-on, as there was no time to dodge.
He was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; his magic shield was shattered instantly by the impact, and Liu Nian was sent flying like a shooting star by the mechanical rhinoceros.
Even with the shield as a buffer, Liu Nian's health was still reduced by 200 points in an instant, and he also suffered a broken rib.
Rib fracture: Maximum health -15%, melee attack/defense -15%.
Pain: Vulnerability +5, exacerbates the consumption of satiety and thirst.
After the mechanical rhinoceros rammed into Liu Nian, it also knocked down the pillar behind him, and then, as if it couldn't stop, it crashed into the darkness.
Liu Nian forced himself to stand up despite the pain. The vampires around him had already fallen into darkness. To prevent further losses, he decisively took out his Star Summoning Staff and summoned the stars.
The starlight instantly illuminated the area, also revealing the other two mechanical units lurking in the darkness.
One was a mechanical unit whose shape was unclear—it was either a horse or a donkey. The other was slender and handless, but its most striking feature was its single eye.
It's ugly, but it's gentle... what a load of rubbish... ah... ah!
Before Liu Nian could finish speaking, the three-part inhuman mechanical unit suddenly gathered a ball of white light at its chest and flew straight toward Liu Nian as it gave the command.
This isn't white light; it's clearly a compressed mass of electric current.
Liu Nian's magic shield was broken, and he had just summoned the stars when he was caught off guard by the second wave of attacks, which came so quickly that he was hit hard.
As for dodging? Nobody's even born yet who can dodge an electric current!
At this moment, electric currents surged around Liu Nian's body, causing his hair to stand up straight, and there was a faint smell of roasted meat.
The protective effect of the magical chest armor was successfully activated. Now that there was light present, and seeing that the mechanical bastards were starting to gather electric orbs again, Liu Nian quickly summoned large units like the Abomination and the Dread Knight.
While guarding against the ranged attacks of those mechanical units, we must also guard against the mechanical rhinos lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce.
The figures of the Abominations and Dread Knights blocked the view of the clockwork creatures, and the flying units had already moved to attract their attention.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Nian pulled out the magic bottle and drank it down quickly. The magic bottle's recovery speed was faster than that of the life potion, so it was of course useful in this critical moment.
Soon, accompanied by heavy footsteps, the mechanical rhinoceros in the darkness charged towards Liu Nian once again.
Liu Nian was prepared this time, and Lamasu had just flown out of the dark space.
The ten massive bodies of the Lamasu collided violently with the mechanical rhinoceros.
After crashing into the fifth Lamasu, it ran out of steam and was finally forced to stop by Lamasu.
Lamasu then formed a circle around the mechanical rhinoceros. Once inside, the mechanical rhinoceros and Lamasu were locked in combat, and the mechanical rhinoceros was temporarily unable to attack Liu Nian.
Seeing that the situation was under control, and the remaining troops emerged from the space one after another, Liu Nian cast debuff spells on them and then used information gathering to observe their information.
The one that looks like a horse is called the Clockwork Knight, the one that can attack from a distance is the Clockwork Bishop, and the one that can ram is the Clockwork Chariot.
Chess, right?
After catching her breath, Liu Nian looked at the situation before her, a smile playing on her lips. "It's my turn!"
