Azeroth Shadow Trail

   Chapter 769 100. Crazy mechanical return

   The surface of Mechagon Island was very noisy at night, and there were shining lights everywhere.

   But it didn't give people the feeling of being brightly lit. Instead, there was a chaotic feeling of "optical pollution" because of the strange lights of various colors jumping all over the place.

   Especially in the respective places on the island where the three forces are located.

  The electric dust transport station in the west of the island, the gangster compound in the middle, and the town of Rustbolt in the northeast, these three "populated areas" of various colors almost completely dispel the terrifying night.

   The various machines running all night in the three areas also made the night very noisy, even reaching the level of noise, which is a rare night scene in Azeroth.

   Probably only Gnomeregan, the city of machines of the gnomes, can compare with it.

  The energetic little gnomes are really noisy. The three gnomes are arguing like ten ducks croaking, and Mechagon has gathered so many mechanical gnomes, enough to make the noise here.

In the midst of this chaotic sound, the humming of the wheelbarrows approaching the forest from below was inconspicuous. Still need some time.

   And after seeing Blake and the little murloc kill a big raven and get a cool motorcycle key, the little star also started his own "exploration".

  Blue Dragon felt that his luck was no worse than that of Black.

   Take a look around here, maybe you can find something interesting yourself.

   However, there is no special area in this forest for His Royal Highness Xingxing to play. On the contrary, when he was looking around, he accidentally found some strange things.

   "Huh! There are spider eggs in this place?"

  Xiaoxing pointed to the white spider eggs scattered under a big tree in the forest, and shouted to the others:

   "Look, those things are so big and glowing. Gnomes over there, didn't you say that there is no wildlife on the surface of Mechagon?"

   "No more."

   Trixie used her electronic eyes to calculate the distance of the gang members below. She didn't look back, she said impatiently:

   "Those are steam spider eggs, don't touch it, it's very different from the spiders you remember. These steam spiders and the metal rabid dogs on Scrap Mountain are hard to deal with on this island."

   But her reminder came a little late.

  The little star, whose guts are bigger than a whale shark, had already grabbed a stick found on the ground and ran to poke at the strange spider eggs.

  These things are fixed under the branches with a strange substance that looks like spider silk, but is wrapped with electric arcs. Each of them is half a person tall, and they are swaying together, making people shudder.

   It's like there's something weird inside trying to break out of the egg.

   When you get close, you will find that the surface of the layer of spider eggs still has sparks of electric ions beating, and you can even hear some buzzing sounds.

   It's like some kind of gear is moving at high speed, not like a normal beast anyway.

   "These spider silks are so tough, they emit light like metal, and these strange energies, I haven't seen anything like this anywhere else.

Is    unique to Mechagon again?

   This place for mechanical gnomes is weird. "

Little Xingxing poked the spider eggs with the stick in her hand, but she couldn't pierce it, which made the curious blue dragon more and more interested. She also took out her own notes and began to record her findings like the mages who were studying. .

   Soon, the pair of spider eggs discovered by Little Star attracted the attention of the other gnomes, and Oversbach took a strange engineering device and took a measurement.

   The great inventor frowned, looking at the reading of the device in his hand, he said sharply:

   "Be careful, this thing is emitting strange radiant energy. And this sound, why does it sound like the engine is running?"

   "Hey! You guys, don't get too close!"

   Trixie at the edge of the cliff turned around and saw Little Star and a bunch of dwarves studying the spider eggs.

   "Don't bring in the slasher, it's hard to deal with."

   "Don't worry, let me listen first, I won't hear it wrong."

   Overs Buck's researcher's frenzy ignored Trixie's shouts, and leaned on the throbbing metallic spider eggs, listening intently.

   But the blue dragon had already sensed something was wrong.

   She dropped the stick in her hand, and when she transformed into an elf, her pointed ears moved, and she seemed to hear some strange sounds echoing in the forest.

   "Ow"

   The black falcon Hisari Crow neighing loudly, which flew over at low altitude, warned them. She saw the movement under the forest in the air, and a very large thing rushed over.

"Be careful!"

  Xiaoxing also sensed the approaching danger, she shuddered, raised her left hand, and threw a magic shield on Overspark, who was studying spider eggs.

   Before the great inventor could react, a small missile roared and smashed under his feet. The explosion was not powerful, but the air shock caused the dwarf to fly out.

The    magic shield protected him from being hurt, but the violent energy turned the dwarf's face black and gray.

   When he screamed to the ground, the attacker finally rushed out of the forest. The weird appearance scared the little star again. With a swoosh, it was teleported behind Black, hiding behind the captain and shivering.

   also stretched out his hand, pointed to the other side, and said tremblingly:

   "Strange. Monster!"

   "It's a shame for a blue dragon to be frightened like this."

  Blake curled his lips and said something, then pulled out the long sword from his waist, and the magic eyeball on his shoulder spun around, locking on the attacker who rushed out of the forest.

   A large spider standing up to four meters high.

Spiders of this size are rare in other parts of Azeroth, but it is not uncommon, trolls can breed such large spiders with a strange voodoo.

   And the descendants of the spider Loa Shadra are bigger than this thing.

A spider like    would not frighten the little star. What really frightened the embarrassing blue dragon was that the big spider in front of him was a mechanical creature.

   There is no flesh and blood in the whole body, and its outer shell and various organs on the body are all made of metal.

Eight slender legs support the body that looks fat and heavy, with six walking on the side, two sharp forelimb spider legs in front of it for attack, and two cutting saws on the mouth that constantly cut like a sickle. .

   The most peculiar thing is that the large spider compound eyes on its flat head have been transformed into lampshades like headlights.

   There are two giant gears rotating at high speed on both sides of the metallized abdomen to power it, and there are actually three exhaust pipes behind the tail. With every action of the mechanical spider, black smoke will be sprayed out.

   If this thing is really made of technology, its weight is absolutely amazing considering its size.

   But it was surprisingly brisk in the forest.

   When approaching intruders trying to destroy the mechanical eggs it lays, the so-called "spindle spider" raises its slender legs high, like a spear falling from the sky.

The    swish stabbed Kelsey Steelspark on Kelsey's body, leaving a dark hole in the ground, so frightened the gnome agent dropped his gun and ran away.

  She is a very smart agent.

   Just by looking at the comparison of the two bodies, you can tell that this thing is definitely not something she can deal with with a gun.

   "Damn, you still brought this 'Cutter' out. In the past few months, it has slaughtered many robots under the king's command. Because of its existence, this forest made the group of robots dare not come.

   Well now, we are going to become its prey. "

   Trixie cursed loudly and shouted to the people around her:

   "Quick, hit the capacitors under his body! Don't let it go into energy overload, once overloaded it will go into overclocking frenzy and use high-energy currents against us."

   "Whoosh"

   As soon as Trixie finished speaking, Blake flashed over and landed under the giant mechanical spider, raising his sword and stabbing the three capacitors placed side by side in its abdomen.

   With a loud bang, the leap cutter stabbed into the capacitor.

  The leaked electricity rushed towards Black along the metal long sword, causing the hair on the pirate to stand up in an instant, and he disappeared in place with a strange cry.

When he reappeared, he threw out the hook and jumped onto the head of the steam spider who was waving his forelimbs wildly. Blake, whose arms were still a little numb, pulled out the double-barreled shotgun on his chest, pressed against the compound eye of the lamp tube on the head of the steam spider and opened a shot. gun.

   In the violent impact, the compound eye bulb shattered, and the black oil was like blood, gushing out from the "wound" of the big spider.

   It seems to still retain the emotion of "pain", which belongs to flesh and blood creatures.

  After being "blinded" in his eyes, he jumped up and down in pain, trying to throw Blake off his head, and then turned around and fled back to the forest lair.

   "Come on! Monsters!"

  Fina watched the pirates in distress, rushed up with a battle axe and a heavy shield, slashed the front leg of the huge spider with an axe, and the warrior who was shocked by the steel impact went numb.

   But she then aroused her anger, and the anger that had already surged like a tide surged, and Fenna jumped on the spot, hitting the "City Breaker" combat skill towards the spider's open and closed steel jaws.

The place where the    axe blade fell, cut off the entire front palate and spider legs of the steel spider.

   "Quick! Little Star, freeze it, don't let it run away!"

  Blake saw that the spider was going to go berserk under the severe pain, and shouted at the blue dragon not far away. Little Xingxing blinked and glanced at Jaina who was also a little scared beside him.

  The girls are always afraid of these spiders, snakes, etc., but there will be people blocking the front, so the two wizards immediately began to cast spells under the orders of the pirates.

   Large tracts of ice were attracted to cover the body of the giant steam spider, making the mechanical spider with its broken legs slower and slower to escape back to the forest.

  Senni also jumped over, turned into a dragon in the forest, stood in front of the steam spider, opened his mouth and exhaled icy breath, and after a few seconds, the mechanical monster was frozen into shiny ice cubes.

   Even if it is frozen in ice cubes, the compound eyes of the mechanical spider cutter still have lights flickering.

   means it is not "dead".

   "This thing is really hard to beat."

   Fenna picked up the axe that had been knocked away, stood in front of the ice cube and raised her head to look at the huge monster in front of her. She felt a sense of joy in defeating a powerful enemy.

   turned to look at Black, who had withdrawn his long sword from the spider's abdomen, and said:

   "Hey, are you saying this thing was made of parts by gnomes, or was it twisted from flesh to steel? I had a strange feeling when I fought it just now.

   This thing seems to be very angry, it is a kind of anger like a living thing, not quite like a robot without emotion. "

   "It can feel pain, what do you think?"

  Blake wiped the oil on the long sword and replied to Fina.

   "Okay, this 'Dwarf Destroyer' has finally been subdued. In the future, there will be one less scourge on the island. We only need to kill more than thirty of the same scourge, and Mechagon will be able to achieve peace."

   Trixie, who ran all the way, saw the Cleaver being subdued, and the mechanical gnome also cheered, and she shouted:

   "As for the question you mentioned, I can tell you the answer right now.

  This cutter, as well as the "Queen of Sparks" entrenched in the Cape of the Flashweaver, and her mecha tarantula guards, were once the most powerful biological samples of the large spiders on the island.

A total of thirty samples of them were captured by the king more than ten years ago and sent to Mechagon as a sample for the mechanical return test. Twenty-seven died, but the three-headed steam spider that survived was very experimental. success.

   As you can see, these big spiders have been 'returned' into real mechanical creatures while retaining their biological characteristics.

   Their organs have been transformed into metals, as if they have 'evolved' from inferior creatures to higher creatures, and their senses and destructive power have been enhanced tenfold.

   but can no longer be tamed.

   There have been daring gnome mechanic who have tried to connect their spirits with a mechanical emotion matrix, but have come to the conclusion that these things have gone mad.

  Mechanical Origination transformed their form, but their already fragile souls were also messed up by the Origination Experiment. "

   "That is to say, as long as your king's big bomb explodes, we will also become such robots?"

   Jaina asked with wide eyes.

   Trixie sneered and replied:

   "You have to survive before you have the chance to transform back into the Iron Vrykul, the delicate little princess of Kul Tiras. We captured that many beasts for testing, and the chance of successful transformation in the end is less than one-third.

   Just use this probability to calculate, the flesh and blood life of the entire world must die first two-thirds, even if you are lucky to survive, it is not a lucky thing.

  You will be driven mad by the pain of returning to the source. "

   "But they still lay eggs!"

  Xiaoxing walked over boldly. She glanced at the frozen mechanical spider, and at the spider eggs affected by the battle, some of which were broken.

   A disgusting liquid like a mixture of oil and sewage flowed out of the spider eggs, and the corpses of some undeveloped mechanical spiders fell on the frost-splashed ground.

   The blue dragon kicked the corpses of the mechanical creatures, she turned to look at Trixie, and said with a question mark on her face "

   "What is the principle of this, do big robots spawn small robots? Although I don't know much about engineering, but in your words, it's not scientific at all, right?"

   "Those little steam spiders are not 'born'."

   Trixie waved her hands in disgust and said:

   "You'll find out when you go and tear down more spider eggs.

  These big spiders capture unlucky mechanical dwarfs or mechanical dogs, dissolve their bodies with a special oil, find suitable parts and seal them in eggs, and assemble those parts relying on their mechanical properties.

   This is not a reproductive process.

   This is a 'pipeline production' process.

  The king originally planned to use these steam spiders as weapons of war, but they were all crazy, so it was uncontrollable, and the king could only give up this plan.

The    was originally going to be destroyed, but when the city rioted, they also ran out of the chaos. "

   "vomit"

  Xiaoxing made a vomit motion and said with disgust:

   "Sounds disgusting, why do you mechanical gnomes make such disgusting things?"

   "It's not our fault, that's how technology develops."

   Trixie retorted. She glanced down the cliff and said:

   "Those guys are coming on our wheelbarrows, hurry up, get ready to ambush them to grab the car!"

"Hold on."

  Black made a gesture, pointed at the frozen mechanical spider cutter in front of him, and said to Little Xingxing:

   "You and Ceanne used teleportation to send this thing back to Tol Barad, don't you think such a cool big spider could be used to help guard the academy?

   This is a ready-made 'golem'.

   Just need to inscribe some magic runes on its body, it can have magic resistance. Ten thousand years of famous schools naturally have a unique layout that is different from other colleges.

  Tsk tsk, the dean will definitely praise me for this. "
