In their "head" positions, there was a dark red crystal stone embedded, flickering with a fierce and chaotic light like a monocular eye. They seemed to be attracted by the chaotic power that dissipated when Luo Qingchen was cultivating or by the breath of these beings."Are they puppets?" Lin Wan’er whispered, the emerald longsword already drawn, its blade shimmering with brilliance.
"Doesn’t seem like it... More like remnants that move independently after being corrupted by chaotic energy." Luo Qingchen stood up, holding the Black Dragon Sword in his hand. Having refined a Moonlight Orchid and adapted slightly to the energy here, his condition was much better than when he first arrived, able to exert three or four tenths of his fighting power now.
The mechanical bodies discovered them, and their movements clearly sped up. Their hollow eye sockets flared with red light, emitting a piercing metallic friction sound, waving their broken metal arms as they charged towards them! Although not fast, their heavy footsteps and the violent aura emitted from their bodies were not to be underestimated!
"Wan’er, protect Ling’er! Xiaowan, find a chance to harass them! I’ll handle them!" Luo Qingchen shouted softly, taking the initiative to meet the assault.
He flashed his figure, dodging a heavy strike from one of the mechanical bodies, and his Black Dragon Sword sliced towards the joint connecting its arm!
Clang!
Sparks flew! The Black Dragon Sword struck, only leaving a shallow white mark! The material of these mechanical bodies was exceptionally hard!
"So hard!" Luo Qingchen was slightly shocked in his heart.
Meanwhile, another mechanical body was attacking from the side, its enormous metal palm whistling towards his head!
"Watch me! Fireball Talisman!" Su Xiaowan screamed, throwing out a talisman. However, the fireball crashed onto the mechanical body, only exploding into a ball of flames, barely slowing down the opponent’s actions for a moment. These mechanical bodies seemed to have a very high resistance to ordinary Five Elements Magic!
"It’s useless!" Su Xiaowan was anxious.
Lin Wan’er’s eyes focused, raising her longsword, "Tianyuan·Purification!"
A gentle and pure emerald sword light brushed over the mechanical body attacking Luo Qingchen like flowing water. Wherever the sword light passed, the chaotic red light on the mechanical body visibly dimmed, and its movements became slow and stiff, even emitting sizzling black smoke from its joints!
"Purification Power is effective!" Luo Qingchen’s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity, condensing chaotic power at the sword tip, and stabbing again at the dark red crystal stone in the mechanical body!
Pfft!
This time, the sword tip successfully pierced into the crystal stone!
The massive body of the mechanical body abruptly stiffened, the red light in its eyes flickering intensely like a dying flame before completely extinguishing. Its heavy body crashed down, falling into a field of rust and rubble.
"Aim for the eyes! Hit the red stone on their heads!" Luo Qingchen immediately shouted.
With a clear target and a countering method, the battle became somewhat easier. Luo Qingchen took the primary offense, using chaotic power and exquisite swordsmanship to continuously attack the core crystal stones of the mechanical bodies. Lin Wan’er assisted on the side, using Purification Sword Light to weaken the power of the mechanical bodies and protect Bai Ling’er. Although Su Xiaowan’s talismans were not effective, she picked up stones from the ground, fiercely throwing them at the "eyes" of the mechanical bodies. Though her aim was off, she occasionally managed to disrupt them.
Soon, the remaining mechanical bodies were also destroyed, reduced to a field of rusted remnants.
"Phew... finally resolved." Su Xiaowan wiped the sweat off her forehead, looking at the fragments on the ground with lingering fear, "These scraps of metal were quite tricky."
Luo Qingchen, however, did not relax his vigilance. He approached a mechanical body’s remnants, using his sword to pick up the shattered dark red crystal stone. Though the energy within the crystal stone had dissipated, Luo Qingchen could feel that the crystal stone itself seemed to contain a peculiar energy structure, related to the chaotic energy here and the star energy of the Star Dome Illusion Realm.
"These things are probably just the ’janitors’ of these ruins, or perhaps the lowest level of guardians." Luo Qingchen said in a deep voice, "The real danger probably lies ahead."
Just as he finished speaking, as if to confirm his suspicion, the entire ruinous ground trembled slightly!
Soon after, a presence far more powerful than the mechanical bodies earlier, cold and majestic like a slumbering giant beast awakening, slowly rose from the depths of the ruins!
That presence swept past where they stood, with an air of scrutiny and... indifferent killing intent!
Luo Qingchen, Lin Wan’er, and Su Xiaowan’s faces changed drastically at the same time!
"No... no way..." Su Xiaowan’s voice began to tremble, "We just finished off the small ones, and now comes an older one?"
Luo Qingchen looked up towards where the presence emanated from, only to see in the distant center of the ruins, the vague outline of an incomparably gigantic, broken tower-like structure, looming against the dark gray void background. The terrifying presence emanated from that giant tower!
"Go, get out of here!" Luo Qingchen decided decisively, now was not the time to confront that unknown existence!
Lin Wan’er quickly picked up Bai Ling’er, and Su Xiaowan, abandoning complaints, the three immediately fled in the opposite direction of the giant tower!
However, that majestic presence had already locked onto them.
Rumble!
More metal mechanical bodies were activated in the ruins behind them! This time, not only were there more mechanical bodies, but they were also larger in size, with some even covered in complete armor gleaming with a silvery sheen, their eyes blazing red light, their movement speed far exceeding the previous broken mechanical bodies!
