The Age of Machines

Chapter 529

Everyone swallowed subconsciously.

This punch was really powerful, and it was hard to believe that Beixi's fist would cause direct damage to the wall.

The place where the fist hit was sunken, and the solid wall in front of him was slowly cracking, and with a "bang", it was all shattered.A strong light hit the front, and everyone raised their hands to cover their eyes uncomfortably, and walked in facing the strong light.

Ding, you came to [Mechanical Ruins].

"Mechanical ruins?"

This is a ruin.

Bei Xi thought, this should be the only sunny place in the closed temple.There was a hole in the ceiling, and the sunlight slanted down, giving this place a bit of freshness that was not found in other places.

There was little vegetation around, and the rusty steel building fell horizontally from mid-air into the ground. There were too many mechanical wrecks piled up nearby. It looked a bit old, and it didn't seem like it could be made by mechanics today.

There are revolving stairs around, spreading all the way up, and there seems to be a closed iron door on the top.Bei Xi withdrew his gaze, and didn't plan to take care of that door for now, and wanted to see if there were any clues about the mission around here.

"The water in this pit..." Ningmeng squatted beside a small puddle. The water in that puddle had the color of sea water, reflecting her appearance, pure and flawless.

"Is it sea water?" Ningmeng stretched out her finger, wanting to touch it.The pocket watch rabbit pulled her violently, "Don't touch it." If there is any danger, it will be too late to regret it.

"Eh? There shouldn't be any problem, right? It looks like sea water. I guess it's sea water." Ningmeng thinks that things are really simple.

Rashomon looked around, then walked to the green cover on the wall, looked at it for a while, then turned back and said to Ningmeng: "It's better to listen to the rabbit and don't touch that liquid."

"why?"

Rashomon pointed to the green cover, on which some words were written in black ink. "It's the liquid poured from here."

"What kind of stuff is this?" Chunchun ruthlessly approached him, looking curiously at him.

"Transmission port."

"Used to transmit what?"

Rashomon was silent for a while, and then said: "Poisonous liquid."

poisonous?
Ningmeng looked at the puddle in front of her, and with a shake of her hand, she quickly pulled the rabbit back with the pocket watch. "This thing is venom?" It doesn't look like it.

"It's not the kind of poison you think." Bei Xi glanced at it, and while shifting his gaze to other places, he explained to everyone. "This thing is used to decompose mechanical beasts. It is poisonous to mechanical beasts!"

Decomposing mechanical beasts?
Everyone couldn't help thinking about it, even if it is used to dismantle the mechanical beast, it is impossible to cause harm to the player.

Seeming to see through everyone's thoughts, Beixi continued in a lukewarm tone: "In some respects, the production of equipment is somewhat similar to the production of mechanical beasts. The materials used are almost similar... this liquid, only It only takes one drop to make a mechanical beast lose its ability to fight. If the mechanical beast is completely soaked, it will dissolve in it and become one. The same is true for equipment."

"One drop can directly damage the player's equipment."

Everyone swallowed their saliva.

A Xiao was surprised and asked: "Master, no matter what level of equipment will break?"

"Ah."

After being confirmed, a group of people immediately distanced themselves from the puddle.Although the equipment on and off of them is not legendary, it is still the result of their hard work in dungeons.And if it is on the market, the price is not low.

Beixi walked to the puddle and circled around, then looked sideways at the person, "Which one of you is better at harvesting?" Gathering is a basic life skill in the game.Although Beixi is a master player herself, in fact, she didn't collect materials such as iron ore when she was a senior player. She always asked Eternal Glory for help.Therefore, the collection technique has always remained at the intermediate level.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, most of the players in this game who want to make money in the game will have a sub-profession, and the collection technique is generally at an advanced level or above.In the wild, you can meet all kinds of materials anywhere. If you can collect rare materials casually, you can make a lot of money when you get them on the market.

"I have a master in gathering skills." Pocket watch rabbit has been concentrating on making money from games since he stopped taking the PK route. There are a lot of weird materials in Apelas.Her sub-professional is a pharmacist, so it is naturally impossible for her collection skills to be low.

Bei Xi's eyes fell on her, the corners of his mouth raised, and he raised his hand to hook her. "Then please, help me get some of this."

"Can I collect it?" The pocket watch rabbit was curious, and walked to the side of Beixi.

"I don't know. I have to try~" Beixi said, took out the empty bottle and handed it to the pocket watch rabbit.

The pocket watch rabbit took it, squatted down and threw the skill at the pool of liquid.Ding, you are collecting [Mechanical Solution].

"It can be collected."

Beixi nodded, but said nothing.

"Master, what are you doing with this?"

Didn't Beixi say that they decompose mechanical beasts?Moreover, it will affect the player's equipment. If you just put a bottle back, if you get a drop, no matter how good the equipment is, it will be scrapped immediately.Don't you want to take it back and splash the king's world?
Ah Xiao couldn't help but make up his own brain, and suddenly felt that the scene was inexplicably funny.

"Make a mechanical beast."

"Oh... make a mechanical beast. Make?!"

A Xiao stared, "Master, you lied to me. I still know what the dissolving solution is for!"

Bei Xi gave him a sideways glance, but didn't speak.

"Master, why don't you talk anymore. You really are lying to me, right? Hmph, fortunately I'm smart enough not to be fooled by you."

Beixi: ...

In fact, I'm just too lazy to explain.

Rashomon shook his head and laughed, walked to A Xiao's side and held his head with his hand. "A Xiao, it seems that you still have something you don't know, learn more from your master."

"Brother Luo Sheng knows what it is?"

"There is one effect in liquid form, and another effect in solid state."

solid state?
Ah Xiao's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help thinking seriously.Although I know the concept, it's not that I can't guess the specific function.

"Once this liquid solidifies, it will be more powerful than diamond." If it is used to build a mechanical beast, it can have an indestructible body, and its strong defense defies everything, enough to make the enemy frightened.

They are aware of the hardness of diamond.Judging from Beixi's words, it turned out that they wanted to use this thing to improve the mechanical beast's defense.

Ah Xiao completely understood now.But when he thought about it deeply, he felt that what Beixi wanted to do was too difficult.If it is solidified, given how hard this thing is, how will it be built later? Once it is touched by fire and dissolved into a liquid state, it will decompose the body of the mechanical beast.

It is difficult to use this thing to make mechanical beasts.

Bei Xi took out all the empty bottles he had left.Players naturally have containers for materials like this liquid.In the NPC shop, each of these bottles only costs one silver coin.

The pocket watch rabbit collected about five bottles, and was prompted by the system that the upper limit had been reached.Taking a closer look at the puddle, the liquid in it is almost gone.

He shook his head at Beixi who was on the side, signaling that she could no longer collect.

Beixi sighed helplessly, five bottles would be five bottles.

Beixi is doing collection here, and the others have already dispersed to investigate the mechanical ruins.This map is still very large, and it will be a little crowded if it can accommodate at least a few dozen people.It's not like there's nothing down there but puddles.

A pile of abandoned machinery in the far distance is useful to them.

Rashomon circled around.This ruin should have been a very important experimental base in the past, because it is important, the route is hidden on the base map, and it needs to be guided by the mechanical source activation mechanism to reach it.

Looking at the pile of dilapidated machinery in front of him, there are no complete robots, most of them are parts.Rashomon shook his head, there seemed to be no clues.

Just as he was about to turn around, something flickered inside the waste product, Rashomon paused, withdrew his steps, and bent over to take a closer look inside the waste product.

It seemed like something was flickering.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the steel pipe under his feet. Although it was a little rusty, it should be harmless to the players.He picked up the steel pipe and pushed aside the pile of parts in front of him bit by bit until the piles piled up on both sides, and he finally saw the true face of the luminous body.

is a piece of debris.

Unusual pieces.

Just by looking at the texture of the shard, it seems that it should have fallen from a valuable item.The fragment itself is black, the natural black is not mixed with anything, and the occasional flickering light actually comes from the red pattern on the fragment.

This small fragment was no larger than a palm of Rashomon's hand, and it must have fallen from something. The pattern had no beginning and no end, and there were only a few strokes, which he couldn't judge at all.

Just ask the chairman.

Thinking of this, Rashomon bent down and picked up the fragment.At this moment, a force came out from the fragments and hit the chest directly.Rashomon was caught off guard by the beating, and he flew out, hitting a five-meter-high wall, then slipped and fell on the stairs.

"Rosheng!"

"Oh my God, Roger!"

The situation happened so suddenly that everyone was shocked.

Wei Shengmo's eyes fell on the steel building, then he glanced at Luo Sheng's position, increased his speed and rushed forward, everyone felt a strong wind passing by, and when he regained his composure, Wei Shengmo slammed on the steel building Stepping, the body flew out, jumped forward, grabbed the railing of the ladder, and then turned over, and the person fell directly in front of Rashomon.

Ah Xiao was going to go up to see the situation, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

Wei Shengmo squatted down and helped Rashomon up.

Before he opened his mouth to ask, Rashomon waved his hands with a look of indifference.

"Captain, I'm fine."

Wei Shengmo didn't speak, his eyes fell on the things in Rashomon's hands, and seeing his smile again, he just said: "Go down."

"Ah."

The two walked down the stairs and returned to the bottom.

"President."

Beixi kept the bottle, looked Rashomon up and down, saw that he was fine, and couldn't help asking, "What did you touch?"

Rashomon's palm spread out to her, revealing fragments. As the red light spread, a force also spread out, scorching people's hearts, making people feel that there is unparalleled power.

Beixi stared at the weapon behind Rashomon. At this time, the oracle was wrapped in a layer of faint red light, and it was impossible to find it without careful observation.

Beixi instantly understood.

"It seems that your mission has made a breakthrough."

This time, Rashomon came here for the second-rank weapon.But it's very strange, why is there something related to Jelfes in the temple of Cronus?
Although Beixi had doubts, she was not in a hurry to think deeply.When they explore this picture step by step, they will know everything.

"Hmm. Indeed!" He hadn't fully awakened with the second-turn weapon, and this time he was prompted to look for Crocodile, and he didn't know what he was going to do in Crocodile.

There was no system prompt when he came in. To be honest, he was very worried because he had no clue.

Bei Xi looked at the fragments in his hand, and then guessed: "I asked you to collect the fragments? Is this something from Jefferson?"

Rashomon was not surprised that Beixi could guess it, and smiled, affirming her guess.

Bei Xi rubbed his chin, "How much?"

She was asking how many pieces to collect.

"Ten dollars."

Ten yuan? Beixi looked at the pieces in his hand, neither big nor small.There are as many as ten yuan, and the final piece of things will not be too small.

But the most important thing is, "Did the system give you the coordinates?"

When this question was mentioned, Rashomon withdrew his hand, shook his head and smiled wryly.That's it, the system can't let him find it easily.The task of finding items is so boring given the coordinates.Sheng Shili likes to give clues and let players analyze and find them by themselves.However, if the map is not large, or in special circumstances, the coordinates will generally be given directly.

"No coordinates..." Beixi should be familiar with the style of the system.

But clues will always be given, although clues are generally difficult, but as long as the fragments are in this temple, there is no need to worry.It was her task of killing monsters. Beixi transferred the task, and the number remained unchanged, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After the two talked a few words, everyone began to rummage around again to see if there were any mission items or good things, but there seemed to be nothing except a pile of garbage.

Beixi looked up at this time, pointed to the iron gate above, and suggested: "Go up and have a look."

Along the stairs, everyone continued to move upwards.The staircase is spiral and built against the wall.The total height is about 15 meters, which means that the mechanical ruins are actually a very empty and tall map.

The farther and farther away from the ground, everyone found that the air was cleaner at this height.I don't know if it's because they are relatively close to the hole, the sun shines in in a columnar shape, and only at a high place, they found that there are a few small white bugs flying in the sun.

It looks like a butterfly, but with tiny wings.

The body is not big, it feels only one-third as long as the little finger, and the body is fleshy, not like a caterpillar.A Xiao leaned against the railing and observed carefully, and found that the two eyes of the bug were red.

It's oddly cute.

"Ah Xiao, follow up."

"Oh, here we come." After speaking, he raised his hand to the bugs in front of him as a gesture of goodbye. "Goodbye~"

Immediately followed by the large group.

However, the moment he left, a golden circle appeared in the eyes of those worms, and then the body couldn't stop shaking and moaning, the fleshy body cracked faintly, as if some black object wanted to go out.

Danger is quietly brewing.
