Chapter 574: Chapter 412: The Moving Steel Labyrinth

Inside the Underground Steel City, it appeared utterly dark, without a hint of light source.

But Mo Qingchen always felt there was something strange about this place, especially the steel walls, which gave an illusion of constant movement.

"Okay, boss, I’ll check it out right away."

Grey Wolf responded, then piloted a Transformer directly to the ruptured fault, starting to examine the melted and broken multiple layers of steel passageways.

The Transformer’s arm directly emitted a laser cutter, slicing open the melted edge.

After cutting through a meter, the true appearance of the steel wall was revealed on the monitor.

"Interesting, these steel walls are actually layered, with some kind of liquid flowing in between, capable of emitting a special magnetic field."

Seeing the Transformer’s inspection and the arising data fluctuations piqued Grey Wolf’s interest.

This was definitely alien high-tech craftsmanship. If thoroughly researched, it might be applied to the [Wolf King] and [Spacecraft], making them more powerful.

"To think it could affect our perception through detectors, this technology must be highly sophisticated, possibly harmful to the human body, lucky we didn’t go down directly."

No matter what was below, even if scouting could roughly determine areas of danger, such high-tech gadgets could potentially catch one off guard.

"Let me first check the situation and investigate if this special magnetic field is harmful to the human body."

Grey Wolf said solemnly, beginning various operations with his hands.

A total of ten Transformers nearby began cutting into each layer of the steel walls, then excavating various components from the three-layer steel walls.

Cables, fiber optics, steel, liquid filling substances... items were categorized, and different Transformers opened their chest armor to store them inside.

Meanwhile, Grey Wolf had already used the data collected by the Transformers to carry out various simulations and analyses of the special magnetic field within the steel passageway.

Within a few minutes, leveraging the intelligent program from the [Spacecraft], the special magnetic field data underwent hundreds of thousands of simulation studies.

"Boss, the test results are in. The passageways of the Underground Steel City emit a special magnetic field that causes a certain degree of cellular damage to flesh-and-blood creatures.

Creatures below Tier One, once inside, will experience cellular structure collapse within a very short period, leading to biological death.

Creatures between Tier One and Tier Three will also have their cellular flesh gradually collapse; it’s just a matter of time.

Creatures of Tier Four or above can emit internal energy to form an Energy Shield, capable of resisting the damage caused by this magnetic field.

To resist relying solely on the physical body, at least a Tier Six body strength is required to automatically be immune to the damage of this special magnetic field.

Combining the entire structure of the Underground Steel City, it consists of five layers, decreasing in size as they go downward. However, the top four layers should be specifically used as a Steel Maze for experiments.

This might be some sort of experimental site created by aliens."

Accompanied by images transmitted back by dozens of Transformers and processed by the spacecraft, coupled with pre-scanned structural diagrams, it’s practically possible to reconstruct nearly half the model of this Underground Steel City.

From analyzing these models and the substances just obtained, Grey Wolf quickly reached a certain conclusion.

"Grey Wolf, what do you mean by Steel Maze? From this model, it doesn’t really seem like a maze, does it?"

The steel structures of the underground city are not in a twisted maze form, nor are there any dead ends seen.

"No, this is a maze, and it is a kind that can continually move.

Indeed, just as you perceived, boss, these steel walls move at intervals.

And each layer is fixed within a certain range without any dead ends, instead forming 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 over a dozen, and apart from the Tier Nine Exotic Beast, there are no other Exotic Beast monsters reaching Tier Nine.

It’s very clear that each layer has been intentionally separated, and the nurtured Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters are all centrally placed on the fourth layer.

As for the fifth layer, there is only such a small area, clearly the domain of researchers or the person in charge. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Moreover, these Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters should be currently restricted by some means.

Despite our large disturbance, piercing a skylight in the Steel City and penetrating all five layers, these Tier Nine Exotic Beast monsters have made no moves.

Meanwhile, exotic beast monsters from other layers of the Steel Maze have started to run amok."

In the real-time transmitted footage, the Transformers naturally encountered some mechanical monsters, leading to battles.

All the deployed Transformers are at the Tier Four level, but through Grey Wolf’s adjustments, these Transformers can perform a combination mode.

Once combined, they can reach up to Tier Six.

Of course, only their attack ability reaches Tier Six, protection ability increases somewhat, but not significantly.

After all, the basics of these Transformers are apparent here.

When the combination mode is activated, the defensive ability on the structure merely gains a few additional steel plates, the overall mechanical strength improvement isn’t substantial.

However, with the spacecraft’s intelligent control, the Transformers’ coordination with each other is seamless, making clearing out the mechanical monsters within the Steel Maze less challenging than imagined.
