Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 572 - 411
In the Underground Steel City, it appeared pitch black, devoid of any light source.
But Mo Qingchen always felt that there was something odd inside, especially the steel walls, giving off the illusion of constant movement.
"Alright, boss, I’ll check it out now."
Grey Wolf agreed and then piloted a Transformer directly to the gap that was blown open, beginning to examine the melted and broken steel corridors.
A laser cutter appeared directly on the Transformer’s arm, slicing open the melted seam.
After cutting a meter in, the true nature of the steel walls appeared on the monitor.
"Interesting, these steel walls are actually layered, with some kind of liquid substance flowing in between, able to emit a special magnetic field."
Watching the Transformer’s inspection and the various data fluctuations that appeared, Grey Wolf’s interest was piqued.
This was unmistakably a piece of alien black tech. If thoroughly researched, it might be applicable to the Wolf King and the Spacecraft, making them even more powerful.
"To think it can affect our perception through the detector, the technological content here is certainly high, and it might even harm the human body. Thankfully, we didn’t go down directly."
No matter what lies below, even though detection can basically determine where the danger lies, with this black tech stuff, one can never be too careful.
"I, the great king, will first check the situation and detect whether this special magnetic field is harmful to humans."
Grey Wolf said gravely, beginning various operations with his hands.
A total of ten Transformers nearby started cutting through each layer of the steel walls, then excavating various things from the three layers of steel walls.
Cables, fiber optics, steel, liquid fill... items were categorized, then different Transformers opened their chest armor to store them inside. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Meanwhile, Grey Wolf, using the data collected by each Transformer, carried out various simulated analyses on the special magnetic field within the steel corridors.
In just a few minutes, with the intelligent program on the Spacecraft, conducted hundreds of thousands of simulation studies on the data of the special magnetic field.
"Boss, the test results are out. The special magnetic field emitted by the Underground Steel City’s corridors will cause a certain degree of damage to the cells of flesh and blood creatures.
Creatures below Tier One, upon entering, will experience cellular structure collapse within their bodies in a very short time, leading to death.
Creatures from Tier One to Tier Three, upon entering, their cells and flesh will also in time collapse, just a matter of time duration.
Creatures of Tier Four and above can release energy from their bodies to form an energy shield to resist the damage caused by this magnetic field.
To resist it purely with the body, at least Tier Six bodily strength is required to automatically be immune to the special magnetic field damage.
Combining the structure of the entire Underground Steel City, there are a total of five layers; the area gets smaller the further down it goes, but the top four layers are likely specifically for experimentation as a Steel Maze.
This might be some kind of experiment site created by aliens."
With the various images transmitted back by dozens of Transformers, after processing by the spacecraft, combined with previously scanned structural maps, it’s almost possible to reconstruct nearly half of the Underground Steel City model.
From these models, and analyzing the materials just acquired, Grey Wolf quickly came to a certain conclusion.
"Grey Wolf, what do you mean by the ’Steel Maze? This model doesn’t seem to be a maze, does it?"
The steel buildings of the underground city are not in a labyrinthine form, nor are there any dead ends visible.
"No, this is a maze, and it’s a type that can continually shift.
And indeed, just as you perceived, boss, these steel walls move every once in a while.
Moreover, each layer is fixed within a certain range, and rather than creating dead corners, it’s more of a circular arena mode.
Boss, look here, the first, second, and third layers each have only one Tier Nine Exotic Beast.
But the fourth layer has as many as over ten, besides the Tier Nine Exotic Beasts, there are no other creatures reaching Tier Nine.
Clearly, each layer was intentionally separated, and the cultivated Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters are all concentrated on the fourth layer.
As for the fifth layer, there’s only this small region, obviously the territory of researchers or the person in charge.
Moreover, these Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters, for now, should be restricted by some means.
We made such a big commotion, creating a skylight in the Steel City, connecting all five layers, yet these Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters made no movements.
But the other layers’ Exotic Beast monsters in the Steel Maze have already started to scurry around."
In the live transmission images, the Transformers naturally encountered some mechanical monsters and engaged in combat.
The Transformers deployed are all Tier Four level, but with Grey Wolf’s adjustments, these Transformers can enter combiner mode.
Once combined, they can reach up to Tier Six at best.
Of course, only the attack abilities reach Tier Six; the defense capability can be enhanced somewhat, but not significantly.
After all, the foundation of these Transformers is laid here.
Upon activating the combiner mode, the body’s defensive capability merely adds a few more layers of steel plating, with not much improvement in body strength.
However, with the spacecraft’s intelligent control, the coordination between these Transformers is seamless, and clearing out the mechanical monsters in the Steel Maze is not as difficult as imagined.
