Chapter 161: Chapter 122: Frantic Spending, Domination with 98% Certainty (6.6K, equivalent to three Chapters)
"The Demon Dragon from the Mechanical Abyss had become a four-star Mechanical Abyss."
"He was heading toward certain death, or did he truly have a winning strategy?"
"What path should I take now?"
Watching Xu Gu leave with such confidence, Sun Yaohui furrowed her eyebrows and found herself momentarily lost.
For the first time, she felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
In this perilous environment, she finally realized her own weakness.
Previously, she had thought about conquering Xu Gu, forcing him into submission, and then leading him.
Now, Xu Gu was needed to save the world.
Yet, she couldn’t assist him in any way.
Despite her desperate desire to help, she was aware that...
When the Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss was just a three-star, she already had to tread carefully. Now that it had become a four-star, she felt even more helpless.
"Should I catch up with Xu Gu and go with him?"
"Or should I...?"
Sun Yaohui’s eyes flickered, and a layer of hesitation appeared on her delicate face. Eventually, she lowered her head, her gaze falling upon the crystal prism in her hand.
This was her reliance.
A divine mirror.
It could guide her future.
It had never been wrong before.
"Before, when I asked you on my journey here, the conclusion was auspicious. All was well, even rewarding."
"But now, in this situation..."
Sun Yaohui lowered her eyelids, her gaze cold. Though she felt shaken inside, her proud, calm, and serene nature was not easily swayed.
While thinking this,
A small line appeared on the prism.
"Entering the tiger’s den, how can one not get the tiger cub?"
Sun Yaohui’s eyes lit up with renewed spirit, especially as she noticed Zhou Lie’s movements in the distance. Her determination grew.
"Zhou Lie is not dead. The Mage Clan will not sit idly by; they will certainly target Xu Gu. We can’t put all our eggs in one basket.
"I should head to the vicinity of the Mage Clan’s checkpoint to help relieve pressure if their rear is unguarded."
Sun Yaohui had come to a decision.
Although this decision was extremely dangerous,
it might bring nine deaths and one life.
Because journeying to the Mage Clan’s heart, at the outer edge of the four-star Mechanical Abyss, even ordinary three-star Auto Men couldn’t advance an inch.
Let’s not mention her, who had only awakened as an SS-grade Auto Man for just a year.
But she still resolutely went.
In this situation, she could only trust the divine mirror.
...
The three checkpoints belonging to the Human Clan had long been overturned, resembling giant fortresses or arenas for beasts.
They emitted an ominous and terrifying aura.
Inside lurked countless powerful Mechanical Monsters.
Roars echoed, like countless shadowy thunders exploding, deafening, and causing one’s spirit to tremble.
Xu Gu and his companions had successfully reached the first checkpoint.
It was precisely the checkpoint Xu Gu’s team was supposed to blaze through and conquer.
"The situation didn’t look optimistic."
In front of the checkpoint, the Elf Queen could sense everything outside through the Battle Instrument and couldn’t help but speak.
Xu Gu nodded solemnly, saying,
"The Elf King knew the characteristics of my Battle Instrument, and this was targeting me."
He had long known this trial superficially appeared to be a conflict between the Human Clan and the Mage Clan, but in reality, the Elf King was covertly targeting him, desiring his Battle Instrument.
At this moment, within the Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss, clearly a four-star Mechanical Abyss with powerful and plentiful Mechanical Monsters inside.
Yet, the five of them found not a single Mechanical Monster on their journey.
It was as if this enormous four-star Mechanical Abyss had no Mechanical Monsters at all.
"This was to prevent me from building up momentum, accumulating Firepower, or slaying Abyss Monsters, acquiring Combat Puppets, and harnessing their power."
Xu Gu’s eyes flashed.
Not just on the road, even when besieged by Zhou Shengwen and his followers, he slew a bunch of mechanical monster enemies but couldn’t successfully gather momentum. To be precise, the efficiency of building up momentum was incredibly low.
Moreover, there was no way to turn them into Combat Puppets.
"They had been modified and could no longer be considered life forms, only puppets, naturally unable to become your Combat Puppets.
"As for hindering your momentum, while troublesome, it could be done if one were willing to pay the price.
"Handling a small number of Mechanical Monsters can be done. If it is large-scale, it requires a tremendous cost."
The Elf Queen’s grave voice came through, "Many races from the Mechanical Abyss could achieve this, like the Undead, goblins, or the Dwarf Race.
"If the situation is like this, the checkpoint might specifically be a cage or trap for you.
"Are you sure you want to go in? It’s extremely dangerous."
The Elf Queen’s words were infused with deep concern.
No living being understood the Elf King’s fearsome nature better than she did!
"It’s no wonder the Elf King; his methods are truly extraordinary."
Xu Gu’s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness.
He indeed felt uneasy.
In such circumstances, the red and blue Battle Instrument couldn’t be used. He also couldn’t be sure if relying on just an SSS-grade Defense accessory could dominate and sweep through the Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss.
After all, the enemy was the Demon King!
The Demon King who was a headache for the entire Human Clan! The Elf King!
Not just Leanna the Elf Queen, but Yang Xue, who was aware of some truth, also guessed this, saying,
"It looks terrifying inside; maybe we shouldn’t enter after all.
"When the trial ends, let’s leave. As long as we live, there’s hope."
"Exactly! Staying alive is paramount," Li Xingyue quickly added, her eyes full of pleading as she looked at Xu Gu.
She had finally come to care deeply for Xu Gu.
