Behind the opened alloy door, there was a full-body figure in the shadows, with only its fighting machinery and its pair of red eyes revealed, as it continuously repeated its warning sentences to the group of people.
“JZ-60 Spider Mechanical Guard, Level-60, Elite-Grade, 23% energy remaining, the core of energy and calculation are at the position where the head and chest are connected.” Jing Kong used a Scout skill as he slightly retreated behind the four warrior classes. At the same time, he raised his submarine gun in the direction of the cave.
He did say this accurately, there were indeed mechanical guards in the ruins, they just did not know how many were hiding in the shadows.
“Warning, an intruder, retreat within ten seconds…”
“Tock, tick, tock…”
The warnings of the Spider Mechanical Guards continued, but Green Arrow had already shot a shuttle bullet onto its body.
Everyone’s goal was the main research base, so why would they retreat? Not to mention, it was only an Elite-Grade enemy.
“Receiving attacks from the intruders, requesting for a decision from the main brain… connection failed… following the second protocol, launch counterattacks!” After being attacked, the combat machinery’s pair of red eyes flashed aggressively.
After swiftly speaking in a series of electronic tones, its whole body moving quickly, as it was exposed under the clear lighting of the team.
This machine had a design that was similar to a spider, as it was a combat machine that had eight large legs which were longer than two meters. However at the end of its alloyed legs were not shoes, but instead, some blades were able to swiftly spin.
…
“Thud!”
After ten seconds, when Feng Luo shot the operating core of this Level 60 Spider Machinery Guard’s chest, the Spider Machinery which only had three short legs fell to the ground and could not move.
[You have killed the JZ-60 Spider Machinery Guard (Level-60, Elite-Grade), contribution portion of the kill 25.2%, experience gained…]
Being a piece of Level-60 Elite-Grade combat machinery, this spider’s combat strength was stronger than the T-750.
However, with the capabilities of the players’ infield, it was far stronger than the T-750 which Feng Luo had defeated before.
Not only did the players have at least two pieces of legendary equipment, but they were also attacking the machinery eight to one. Of course, they couldn’t expend so much effort.
Of course, saying that there were more people than the machinery was impossible.
“Eliminate intruder! Eliminate intruder!” After finishing off this Spider Machinery guard, there were two Spider Machineries of similar design that charged out from the darkness.
…
“Bang!”
“Rumble, rumble…”
“Da, da, da…”
This battle at the entrance of the alloy door continued for around five minutes.
After killing the tenth Level-60 Elite Spider Machinery, this entrance battle had concluded.
“Feels like the difficulty isn’t so high, we should have a chance to explore deeper areas.” After crossing through the corroded hole and into the alloy door, and looking over at the Spider Machinery guards which lost their mobility, Green Arrow, who was holding a complete Legendary-Grade submachine gun which was provided by the Nine Star Guild, was shining the surroundings of the tunnel with his lighting tools.
“Mainly it was because everyone’s equipment was sufficient, if the equipment were lacking, then this would be a different situation.” Jing Kong said as he picked up the loot which came out of the Spider Machinery, discovering that it was of not much use and threw it back into his bag.
In theory, Machine type monsters’ combat strength would be stronger than live monsters which had the same levels, as they did not have health points.
However, if the players’ equipment was good enough, these machine type monsters were easier to deal with. That was because they had a definite fatal spot, once it was destroyed, it would lose its combat strength.
If their equipment was not good enough, where the damage values being unable to destroy the defenses covering the core, the difficulty would naturally be a lot higher. For these eight players who had at least two pieces of Legendary-Grade equipment, it would be a lot simpler.
Of course, for players with poor equipment, they could clear the ruins as well.
Like these combat machinery guards in the ruins, they are hiding the “residual energy” within them.
This refers to the residual energy in the energy core which passed from the long term hibernation over these years, and after waking up from encountering intruders.
This residual energy would not usually be very high, but these machinery guards spent a serious amount of it during combat, under the circumstances of being unable to destroy their cores, thinking of ways to make them expend all of their energy is also another way.
Under the use of the lighting tools, the group’s vision was finally completely brightened.
This was a room with a height of nearly ten meters. What was different was that it had a lot of tunnels from the room leading to different directions.
“After this, which direction to follow?” Big Pineapple and Villain, carrying some broken shields which were drilled by the Spider Machinery Guards during the battle, asked while looking at those few tunnels.
“Wait just a minute, let me see if I can find a map.” Green Arrow replied as she walked towards the shattered Spider Machinery on the ground, as she took out an instrument from her bag.
For a player, obtaining a map of the ruins was not difficult, that was because in the stored chips in the combat machinery guards in the ruins, they always have the ruins map in them.
Of course, the precision and the retrieving speeds of finding the map depends on the player’s chip master level.
“Yes, I found it!” After around two minutes, Green Arrow stood up, in the instrument in her hand, there was a three-dimensional map of the core base.
Many Scout players would learn some chip master skills by habit because it was a must-have profession for entering the ruins. Being able to obtain a detailed map in such a short time, Green Arrow’s profession level must have been at least advanced.
“Mm, from the message obtained, the most important location in the base is here, its degree of importance is at its highest.” Green Arrow stretched out her hand, as she enlarged an area at the center position on the map.
“Is this the position of the Boss Chip?” Big Pineapple’s eyes lit up as he asked.
“I don’t know, these machinery guards did not store this type of message. However, by right, the possibility is high. Even if it is not Boss Chips, it is most likely to be equipment that Jing Kong and you all will need.” Green Arrow gave Jing Kong and Sword Ki Long River a look. “However, I have to remind everyone. In this base, there are a total of three hundred Spider Machinery Guards, and all of them are Level-60 Elites.” Upon finishing the sentence, her face changed a little.
“Three hundred?” After hearing this statement, everyone’s face naturally changed a little.
One Level-60 Elite does not count as anything against this small team.
But five of these Level-60 Elites would already be a threat, and if there were three hundred… This is a machine-type creature, even for a Manipulator, it was impossible to instantly kill them.
“Although this base did not have restrictions on signals like the outside world, my Legendary Scouting instrument should be able to intercept the signals they send out. If I take note to prevent it from passing the message to its companions, then we would only need to defeat at most ten machinery guards at a time.” Jing Kong said.
“This way, the danger would be a lot smaller. It’s worth a try.” Upon hearing this, other than Feng Luo and Sword Ki Long River, everyone had a face filled with joy.
“The problem with the machinery guards is solved. However, under this situation in which the main brain is being fully hibernated or destroyed, to be able to destroy and open these doors in the middle of the journey, we need to use violence.” Green Arrow pointed at the three-dimensional map, from their current location to that important region, the journey had at least ten plus alloy doors.
“Mr. Feng, what are your intentions?” To break open these alloy doors, having the Jet Beetles is a must.
Not to mention, other than corroding the alloy doors, the ten Spider Machinery Guards which are on the ground of the base, a huge majority of their composition also had traces of corrosion.
In the battle just now, the ten plus Jet Beetles also had huge credit.
“It’s possible.” Feng Luo nodded.
