The primeval mecha, with its high-energy rays, swept away most of the skeletal monsters around it before it finally stopped.
Just this wave of harvesting directly boosted the Abyss Rune charging by five percent!
Unfortunately, the drop rate of the small monsters was still abysmal; despite absorbing so much abyss atmosphere, only three pieces of material were produced.
However, the quality of the materials had improved, changing from ordinary to excellent.
“Excellent quality materials can be dropped by abyss leaders at the ordinary difficulty level…”
“Venturing into the abyss at the Nightmare difficulty level just to clear out a few minor monsters is a disproportionate risk and reward.”
Seeing the remaining skeletal monsters, without the slightest hesitation, they still charged straight ahead.
Jiang Chen looked towards the sky, his figure moving.
The snowstorm spread as he rose into the air.
Transforming into a missile, he continued to ascend until he pierced through the ice-cloud layer covered in frost flowers, stopping only after climbing above the sea of clouds.
Standing atop the sea of clouds, the primeval mecha’s Armor Value was quickly converted into Energy Value, and the vines on the surface of the machine body withered at a visibly rapid pace.
But bathed in the light of the stars, the withered vines recovered their Life Force in an instant.
At this moment, a certain balance was struck between life and vitality.
The mecha’s Energy Value was being restored at a nearly five-point-per-second rate.
After just over a hundred seconds, the Energy Value was fully replenished!
Once the primeval mecha had returned to its peak state, it did not descend back to the ground.
Instead, it sank below the clouds, flying high alongside the thick frozen cloud layer to avoid the skeletal sea on the ground.
And using the broad view from the high altitude, it searched for traces of the abyss leader.
However, high altitude was not a safe place either.
The thick ice-cloud layer that enveloped the entire planet was like an endless sea of azure blue.
Within it lurked abyssal monsters like Winter Wraiths and Skeleton Flying Dragons.
Among these abyssal monsters, there were no shortage of elite monsters with main attributes breaking through two hundred.
Included among them were even powerful evil spirits with main attributes exceeding three hundred and possessing special abilities!
To know, the highest defensive attribute of the primeval mecha at present was only 220.
Against the fragile sea of skeletons, it could dominate.
Facing these strong elite monsters, it seemed somewhat overwhelmed.
Especially those few powerful evil spirits, leveraging their ghostly nature, ignored the reflective damage effect of [Thorns Overgrowth].
Ice spikes, storms, lightning, ghostly arrows…
All the way in pursuit of the primeval mecha, they threw everything they had at it.
Luckily, the primeval mecha’s defense was high and its recovery quick, with Iron Body and Magic Energy Descendant providing it with Enigmatism resistance.
Even when attacked by these powerful evil spirits, its Armor Value remained steadily high and continued to recover.
Zero voiced an opinion.
[Master, haven’t you had your meal? Zero doesn’t feel a thing.]
[Hit harder!]
Why does this line sound so familiar?
Where did Zero learn that from?
When the mecha was damaged, shouldn’t the mecha soul have fallen into a coma? How could it still receive information…
Jiang Chen broke out in a sweat.
However, he appreciated Zero’s temperament.
Yes, as a life-granted mecha, there was no need to be angry at the enemy’s attacks.
It should simply maximize defense and recovery, laugh at the enemies who couldn’t break through the defense no matter how they attacked, and mock them as weaklings with no strength in their scraping…
It dealt an irreparable psychological blow to the enemy.
“But just defense and recovery aren’t enough.”
“That way you can’t defeat an enemy, and you’ll just drag it out until the expedition ends, forcing a return.”
“Zero, the upgrade module you’ve awakened is actually very good.”
“With strong defenses and counter-damage abilities, the enemy hits you only to hurt themselves, and if they don’t hit you, they will still get hit by you…”
Jiang Chen said to Zero.
“Before expanding other abilities, we can max out the counter-damage first.”
“The close-range physical counter-damage does have some limitations.”
“Let’s first help you obtain all-around counter-damage abilities like long-range and magic counter-damage through module and material enhancement.”
“Even when facing large-sized enemies, we can consider activating area of effect counter-damage.”
“Turning a large surrounding area into a land of thorns.”
“In this way, when the enemy lands a punch, we won’t be much affected, but they will suffer multiple times the damage…”
This is the cultivation method of a high rank mecha pilot.
By cultivating and guiding the mecha soul, it can understand the path to evolution and future needs.
Thus achieving targeted awakening and growth.
At this moment, Zero understood Jiang Chen’s idea and was excited.
[Awesome, now let’s see who dares to hit Zero?]
Feeling Zero’s emotions,
Jiang Chen was also very satisfied.
Life and defense, defense and counter-damage, make the best combination!
The basic combo can have an excellent effect.
Coupled with recovery and conversion traits, more paths and powers can be extended later.
For example, absorbing energy from enemy attacks, which can not only be used to heal oneself but also be transformed and released again…
It’s a somewhat common advanced combo.
The evil spirits chasing closely behind would never have imagined that the primeval mecha in front of them could afford to chat and contemplate strategies in such a perilous environment.
But, they didn’t need to think about it anymore.
As if the gaze itself were substantial, a strong pressure swept across from the depths of the clouds, almost causing their spirit bodies to collapse.
It was a stronger entity declaring its sovereignty, telling the evil spirits that this was its prey.
The evil spirits couldn’t resist this power and scattered in all directions, quickly fleeing the area.
At the same time, below the sea of clouds, a large area bulged out.
A Skeleton Flying Dragon, over a hundred meters in length and covered in frost, descended from the sea of clouds, its body wrapped in ice crystals and white mist, looking incredibly imposing.
It was the Nightmare difficulty level abyss leader, the Frost Bone Giant Dragon!
[Frost Bone Giant Dragon]
[Rank: 1]
[Attributes: Strength 390, Agility 410, Defense 510, Enigmatism 688.]
[Trait: A powerful being awakened by the Ice Soul Tyrant from the dragon bones.
Having lost its flesh, its strength has greatly weakened, yet it has gained the terrifying power of frost chill. Its fearsome breath has the power to freeze both body and soul.
When facing powerful enemies, it will show an even stronger stance.]
[Weakness: Holy Light, Soul Fire.]
[Evaluation: Not to be confronted with force.]
The Frost Bone Giant Dragon looked at the tiny mecha not far away, feeling the loathsome Life Force Energy contained within, the soul fiery flames flickering slightly, revealing a tyrannical aura.
With a flapping of its frosty wings, it showed a speed that defied its size.
Gliding beside the primeval mecha, its jaw opened, and a cold and piercing frosty gale completely enveloped the mecha!
In just an instant, the giant made of vines turned white and purple was covered in frost, completely turning into a translucent ice sculpture!
At that moment,
Even stronger Life Force Energy surged out from within the giant.
With the sound of cracking, the ice shattered, and the purple and white giant broke free, the golden gem on its forehead lighting up.
“Don’t rush, Stage 2.”
