Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 571 - 410: Underground Steel Maze (Part 2)
With extraordinary detection assistance, we can completely avoid mechanical monsters above Tier Six.
And watching the various experimental data being transmitted back, Grey Wolf’s expression became particularly grim.
"Boss, inside the entire Steel Maze, not only is there a special magnetic field that will cause irreversible harm to flesh and blood beings.
There is also an unknown gas in the air here that causes rapid mutation in creatures.
This unknown gas can not only mutate flesh and blood beings but also cause some directional mutations in mechanical life forms."
Grey Wolf looked at the Transformers active in the underground first, second, and third floors, and found that their bodies showed varying degrees of erosion changes without any damage, according to the data from their bodies.
At the same time, he also noticed that the driving program for the Transformers encountered some minor issues.
Had it not been for these Transformers being intelligently controlled by the spacecraft, able to read the program operation in a moment, they might not have noticed.
And in the slight program changes, a certain instruction was implanted, which, once triggered, would seize control of the Transformers’ driving program.
However, the intelligent system of the spacecraft is not to be underestimated.
It can be said that Grey Wolf’s advanced AI—Xiao Zhizhang is mounted on the spacecraft.
And the AI programs on the Wolf King and in the research base are avatars of Xiao Zhizhang, except they have different servers and configurations provided to them.
The size of the Wolf King speaks for itself, so its computing ability is the weakest of the three.
Next is the research base, although large in area, actually its server and supporting equipment are not as advanced as those on the spacecraft.
But the sub-avatar of Xiao Zhizhang can fully meet Grey Wolf’s experimental use and also take care of the operation of the entire institute.
Almost instantly when the Transformers operating in the underground Steel Maze were invaded by the program, the superintelligent system of the spacecraft immediately developed a response plan.
Just a few special screening firewalls directly isolated the invading virus program.
"Indeed, capable of becoming an interstellar civilization, even though it has been destroyed, the remaining means are not that simple.
Since that’s the case, all mechanical beasts and monsters in the Steel Maze should be in a controlled state.
So, can we counter-invade?"
Mo Qingchen touched his chin, watching the surveillance footage where a team of Transformers joined forces to slaughter a Tier Five mechanical monster.
Tier Four against Tier Five, relying on numbers and the ability to unleash higher-level energy weapons, achieved a crushing state.
It’s undeniable, the Wolf King due to computing power can simultaneously control a hundred Tier Four Transformers almost reaching the computation limit, if more are added, delay and lag will occur.
But for the spacecraft, the control base number increased more than a hundredfold.
Currently only simultaneously controlling a hundred Tier Four Transformers, can perform extremely fine control on each machine.
At the same time, the backend also plans various strategies for each battle, and the number of plans generated in an instant definitely exceeds one hundred sets!
With such backend support, plus precise intricate control, Tier Four effortlessly crushes Tier Five.
Even if encountering Tier Six mechanical monsters, with the support of the spacecraft, they would complete combination transformations in just a few seconds, and forcibly blast-kill the enemy.
Directly avoiding Tier Seven and above mechanical monsters beforehand.
Tier Six and below mechanical monsters are quickly exterminated, then mechanical wreckage is packed and recycled, not even leaving a millimeter of fragment behind.
It can only be said that under the spacecraft’s control, these hundred Transformers swept clean like locusts.
Definitely more efficient than invaders implementing a "three-light" policy when entering villages.
Wang Xiao’Er, who was watching from the sidelines, was already scared stiff.
Especially hearing various research reports from Grey Wolf just now, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
At this moment, he only felt fortunate.
Luckily, when he came to the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm, he encountered Mo Qingchen and decisively clung to a powerful ally.
If anyone greedily sought things within the underground Steel Maze, likely they would have already perished here.
Never mind that the Guardian Beast can keep him safe, there are countless mechanical monsters in this underground Steel Maze, Tier Five and Six are abound, let alone those Tier Seven and above mechanical monsters.
With Guardian Beast Tier Six Peak combat power, Great Needle Bee Tier Five combat power, and his own Tier Five burden.
Once inside here, who knows how he would die!
And the Mechanical Bear King obediently curled up beside Wang Xiao’Er like a dog ball, reducing his presence.
He had long sensed something in this underground Steel Maze attracting him, it was a kind of mechanical life form instinct.
This perception told him, as long as he obtained something below here, he could ascend, his talent and aptitude could improve further!
That’s why he persuaded Wang Xiao’Er to come to the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm.
But what did he see now?
Piles of mechanical monsters aside, there were more than a dozen Tier Nine mechanical monsters.
Moreover, the entire underground Steel Maze had various pitfalls, especially the unknown virus with potential implant control programs.
Once he went down himself, he might become a puppet controlled by something.
Looking at the screen where mechanical monsters without much wisdom were hunted by Transformers, shattered into wreckage fragments.
Mechanical Bear King shivered, his mechanical bear eyes showed a highly flattering expression toward Grey Wolf.
Rather than risking life and becoming a puppet at the risk of being controlled by others, it’s better to cling to this wolf’s leg.
Guardian Beast had already made up his mind in his heart, even if they tore him into parts, he would cling to Grey Wolf’s leg desperately!
Even if the other party wants to dismantle his Beastmaster, he could help hand over a wrench, as long as they don’t kill him.
And just at this moment, some kind of change occurred again in the monitoring footage.
In the model of the Steel Maze, those Tier Seven and Eight mechanical monsters scattered everywhere, suddenly seemed to receive a command, beginning to move quickly towards several points.
"Boss, your guess came true, there is indeed something in the Steel Fortress controlling everything."
Grey Wolf’s face became even grimmer.
Because the spacecraft has already calculated and directly marked several gathering points on the city model.
The path those Tier Seven and Eight mechanical monsters take will converge at one point.
"It seems the hidden guy has been provoked and wants to clean us invaders out."
The Tier Nine mechanical monsters did not move.
This indicates that activating Tier Nine mechanical monsters might cause some instability.
It’s also possible that using Tier Nine mechanical monsters consumes energy from within the Steel City.
Placing the majority of Tier Nine mechanical monsters on the underground fourth floor is definitely not a coincidence, there must have been considerable effort.
"Spacecraft, gather all the Transformers, by combining mode, even if consuming all energy, launch a fierce energy cannon attack on these mechanical monsters!"
These standard model Transformers, don’t look like they are only Tier Four, that’s because their materials and energy are only at the Tier Four level!
In fact, after combining mode, they can continuously stack materials and energy.
These hundred Transformers, if all combined together, can unleash a Tier Nine energy bombardment!
Of course, once all combined, it can only unleash a single strike.
Once the cannon attack is completed, the degree of damage to the body may reach fifty percent, the energy will be entirely depleted.
