The Wizarding Age

Earth element, ice element, stone element, thunder element, fire element...

As long as they are cheap elemental life, several alchemists don't mind summoning them from distant alien worlds to serve as cannon fodder for this exploration.

A bottle of low-level elemental life summoning potion is only 3 magic crystals anyway. If they can be used to exchange for a bursting fireball trap worth 12 magic crystals, it is worth it in every way!

Thus, thirteen level 1 alchemists took turns to summon various elemental life and ordered them to rush into the lava passages leading to the lower layer. The continuous explosions and the scorching heat waves turned this underground world upside down, and even the gravel and dust on the rock wall began to fall down continuously.

The passage was filled with a choking smell of dust and fireworks!

"Enemy found!"

Each summoned elemental life has a weak soul connection with the alchemist. When it is killed, the alchemist can also roughly understand the enemy's relevant information through soul perception.

When the alchemist's elemental servants kept rushing into the lava channels, an alchemist suddenly screamed.

"It was not a trap that killed my elemental servant, but... a strange metal puppet that I had never seen before!"

Obviously, the information he got through soul perception was very vague, so it was particularly difficult to describe.

"Where is the location?" Roy, the leader of the faction, asked in a deep voice.

"Right front... the second lava channel..."

As soon as the wizard reported the enemy's location, two new elemental life rushed into the lava channel he designated.

These are two strange wind elements!

They do not have human-like bodies. They look like a small tornado that keeps rolling and winding, with only two red lights in the center of the wind vortex acting as eyes. These guys were floating in the air, almost weightless, so they were not suitable to be cannon fodder for mines.

However, they were flying at an extremely fast speed, so they were quite suitable to be flying scouts.

The two wind elements just turned a corner and collided with the strange metal puppet described by the wizard. The two sides stared at each other across the narrow passage of ten meters, and then launched an attack at the same time.

Wind blades cut through the space, slashing the 3-meter-tall humanoid puppet wrapped in a dazzling metal shell on the opposite side, sparks flew everywhere, and scratches were everywhere. And the terrible guy ignored the attack of the wind element, raised two thick metal arms, and ejected high-speed metal projectiles that were difficult to capture with the naked eye from the metal round tubes extending from the front, hitting the two wind elements directly, causing their bodies to tremble.

Before they could hold on for three seconds, the two primary wind elements had their consciousness cores shattered and completely disappeared.

Looking at the close-up of the metal puppet frozen on the projection screen in front of them, many alchemists frowned and evaluated the basic level of this metal puppet.

Wizard level!

Of course, comparing such a clumsy and dull metal puppet with a formal wizard is indeed a bit overestimating it. But considering its indestructible metal shell, coupled with the goblin guns with amazing firing speed, ordinary wizard apprentices encountering them are just like encountering their nemesis, and will be brutally slaughtered without even a chance to resist.

Even those quasi-wizards have to be careful when encountering this kind of metal puppet, otherwise their own thin witchcraft protection can't withstand the crazy shooting of metal bullets.

"It seems that we need to take out some real stuff..."

An alchemist grinned and took out a large bottle of witchcraft potion from his arms and smashed it in front of him.

As an extra-large jelly slime monster shook its huge and bloated body and crawled out from the ground, the whole passage was filled with a pungent stench of decay.

"Damn it, Singer, can't you summon some normal wizard beasts? Keep it away from us..." Many alchemists covered their noses, and several female wizards cast angry eyes at the guy who summoned the jelly slime monster.

"There is no way. In such a narrow passage, other summoned creatures can't take advantage of a pile of iron lumps. To deal with metal puppets, either head-on or strong acid..." Singer shrugged and quickly commanded the jelly slime monster to slowly crawl to the other end of the cave.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the jelly slime monster successfully encountered the metal puppet!

Almost without giving orders, the two guys from different camps attacked each other crazily.

Of course, the metal puppet still used the kind of metal projectiles with extremely fast firing speed.

In such a narrow place, it only needs to defend one end of the lava passage, and it is simply a pipe dream for the enemy to rush from the other end. It is impossible to do it without paying a heavy price!

The metal bullets with high kinetic energy spanned 15 meters, hitting the bloated and sticky body of the jelly slime monster crazily.

Mud splashed everywhere, and stinky water flowed everywhere...

The soft body of the jelly slime monster was hit with small holes like sieves, and black, smelly and sour water flowed out from it. But it seemed to be unaware of it, and still stretched out tentacles of various shapes from its soft jelly body, slowly approaching the archer magic machine.

As it approached, it also cracked a few small holes, and kept spitting strong acidic liquid full of foul smell at the joints of the Archer Magic Machine. As soon as the black mucus fell on the metal shell of the Archer Magic Machine, it immediately made a sizzling corrosion sound, and at the same time, a thick white smoke rose.

The Goblin Engineers had already set a death order in the Archer Magic Machine's intelligence unit to hold on to this place and not let any enemy pass. Therefore, even if the enemy was slowly approaching, it did not retreat half a step. The metal barrels in the arms had become a little red due to the high-speed continuous shooting, but the regular "da da da" shooting sound of the metal projectiles never stopped for a moment.

When the jelly slime monster crawled through the middle of the melting channel, the broad shoulders on both sides of the Archer Magic Machine suddenly opened up, revealing the dense array of goblin rockets inside. The next second, driven by the bright yellow flame, eight goblin rockets flew out from inside and plunged into the body of the jelly slime monster.

Bang, bang, bang...

A series of energy explosions broke out in the bloated and ugly body of the jelly slime monster, just like a skin bag filled with excessive liquid. The bloated body of the jelly slime monster was stretched even larger, and the surface of the body even made a terrible squeaking sound of force.

It seems that its expansion has reached a certain limit!

The face of the alchemist Singer, who had been watching the battle calmly in the back, suddenly changed.

The next second, two more goblin rockets pierced into the body of the jelly slime monster, causing a new explosion.

This time, the jelly slime monster, which relied on its expanded body to digest the previous energy aftermath, was no longer able to expand at all, and it exploded directly under the gaze of many alchemists.

In an instant, this lava channel, which was only 15 meters long, was completely coated with a layer of sticky and smelly black rotten liquid, mixed with countless dead bones and fur residues of wild animals. Under the rapid corrosion of the strong acidic liquid, the entire lava channel softened instantly like the stomach wall of a terrifying monster, and a terrible stench filled every inch of space.

The archer magic machine that was ordered to defend the end of the channel was also soaked by the strong acidic liquid. Under the thick white smoke, the spikes and edges on the tall metal body of the archer magic machine were corroded into a pool of mud. With two crisp sounds, the two metal arms of the archer magic machine were corroded and fell at the feet.

After a while, the entire archer magic machine collapsed, and with a burst of sparks inside, it was finally completely scrapped!

The wizard-level jelly slime monster vs. the wizard-level archer magic machine, the result was a fight between both sides.

Of course, this is also related to the terrain here.

If the archer magic machine can roam freely and use the kite tactic to continuously attack the enemy, it may only need to be slightly damaged to take down this jelly slime monster. Unfortunately, there is no if in war...

Seeing the metal puppet on the opposite side also being killed, the alchemist Singer barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face. However, he was still slowly bleeding in his heart for having killed a wizard-level summon.

After all, on the market, the basic value of such a wizard-level beast is often more than 100 magic crystals. Just throwing it here for nothing, no matter how rich he is, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

But at the moment when his face was slightly brighter, in the darkness at the end of the molten channel in the distance, a new archer magic machine appeared in the vision of many alchemists with heavy steps.

Huh...

The next second, a small hole appeared in the chest of the magic machine, and a thick stream of hot flames spurted out from it, burning the entire channel fiercely.

Although the strong acidic rotten liquid is terribly corrosive, it can't withstand such a fierce burning of the flame.

After a while, when the magic machine cut off the flame, the entire lava channel became hard as steel again. However, the surface of the cave wall made of lava and flint became bumpy, just like the surface of the moon under a super-powered telescope.

And that's not all. A strange device with a bullet slot extended from the back of the archer magic machine, and began to eject metal discs the size of washbasins to various places in the lava channel in front of it. As soon as these metal discs landed on the ground, they snapped and ejected metal spikes to fix themselves in place.

And its smooth and flat metal surface shone with a layer of hazy fluorescence.

Goblin!

After doing all this, the archer magic machine crouched down, raised its two thick metal arms high and aimed at the other end of the lava channel. As the exhaust hole behind the magic machine spewed out a large ball of hot air, the revolver goblin musket built into the metal arm began to whistle wildly...
