Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 577 - 413:
With an excellent detection system, it’s entirely possible to avoid mechanical monsters above Tier Six.
Observing the transmitted experimental data, Grey Wolf’s expression became exceptionally grave.
"Boss, within the entire Steel Maze, there’s not only a special magnetic field causing irreversible damage to flesh and blood.
There’s also an unknown gas in the air here that can rapidly mutate living organisms.
This unknown gas can mutate flesh and blood as well as mechanical life forms in a certain direction."
Grey Wolf observed the Transformers operating in the lower levels and found from their data that without any damage, the machines showed varying degrees of corrosive changes.
He also discovered that the program driving the Transformers had developed some slight issues.
If it weren’t for the intelligent control of the Spacecraft, which can instantly read the program status, it might have gone unnoticed.
The slight change in the program had a certain command embedded in it that, once triggered, would seize control of the Transformers’ operating program.
However, the intelligent system of the Spacecraft is not to be underestimated.
It can be said that the advanced AI Grey Wolf developed—Little Idiot, is installed on the Spacecraft.
The AI programs in the Wolf King and the research base are just avatars of Little Idiot, only differing in the servers and configuration they are provided with.
Due to its size, the Wolf King has the weakest computing power among the three.
The research base is secondary; although it covers a large area, its servers and equipment are not as advanced as those on the Spacecraft.
Nevertheless, the sub-avatar of Little Idiot can perfectly meet Grey Wolf’s experimental needs and maintain the operation of the entire research institute.
Almost as soon as the Transformers in the underground Steel Maze were hit by a program invasion, the super intelligence of the Spacecraft immediately prepared a response plan.
It was merely a few special firewall shields that directly isolated the invading virus program.
"As expected, even interstellar civilizations, although destroyed, have remnants that are not so simple.
Given this, all the mechanical exotic beasts in the Steel Maze must be in a controlled state.
So, can we counter-invade?"
Mo Qingchen stroked his chin, watching the monitor as a team of Transformers combined forces to slaughter a Tier Five mechanical monster.
Tier Four against Tier Five, relying on numbers and higher-tier energy weapons, achieved a crushing state.
To be frank, due to computational power, the Wolf King controlling one hundred Tier Four Transformers at once is about the limit, any more and there would be a noticeable lag.
But for the Spacecraft, the base it can control is expanded hundreds of times over.
Now, controlling one hundred Tier Four Transformers simultaneously allows for meticulous control of each machine.
Additionally, the backend plans various strategies for every battle, generating over a hundred schemes in an instant!
With such backend support and precise control, Tier Four easily crushes Tier Five.
Even encountering Tier Six mechanical monsters, they can complete transformation combinations and annihilate the enemy within seconds with Spacecraft support.
Tier Seven and above mechanical monsters are directly avoided in advance.
Tier Six and below mechanical monsters are quickly eliminated and their remains meticulously collected, not leaving even a millimeter of fragments.
Under the control of the Spacecraft, these hundred Transformers are like a swarm of locusts, devouring everything in their path.
Undoubtedly, they are even cleaner than the infamous Three Alls** policy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Wang Xiao’Er, watching everything, was already stunned with fear.
Especially upon hearing Grey Wolf’s research report, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Now, all he felt was relief.
Fortunately, when he entered the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm, he encountered Mo Qingchen and quickly sought refuge under his protection.
If anyone coveted the underground Steel Maze, they might end up dead here.
Not to mention, the Bear King might not be able to completely protect him; the maze is teeming with mechanical monsters, with Tier Five and Six creatures abundant and Tier Seven and above monsters even more daunting.
With the Bear King’s Tier Six Peak combat ability, the Great Needle Bee’s Tier Five combat ability, and himself being a Tier Five burden.
Entering that place, he would hardly know how he died!
And the Mechanical Bear King, lying quietly beside Wang Xiao’Er, tried his best to curl into a ball, minimizing his presence.
He had long sensed something in the underground Steel Maze calling to him, an instinct of mechanical life forms.
This sense told him that if he obtained something below, he could advance, with talent and aptitude further enhanced!
Thus, he urged Wang Xiao’Er to venture into the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm.
But what did he see now?
Piles of mechanical monsters, with over a dozen Tier Nine mechanical monsters present too.
The underground Steel Maze is filled with traps, especially those with embedded potential control program viruses.
If he went alone, he would likely become a puppet controlled by something.
Looking at the screen, the mindless mechanical monsters being hunted by the Transformers and shattered into fragments.
The Mechanical Bear King shivered, with its mechanical eyes revealing a fawning look towards Grey Wolf.
Instead of risking mortal danger and becoming a puppet, why not cling to this wolf’s leg?
The Bear King had made up his mind; even if disassembled into parts, he’d cling tightly to Grey Wolf’s leg!
Even if the other party wanted to disable his Beastmaster, he’d willingly hand over a wrench, as long as it didn’t result in death.
At this moment, the monitoring screen displayed another change.
In the Steel Maze model, the scattered Tier Seven and Eight mechanical monsters suddenly seemed to receive some command and started moving rapidly to several points.
"Boss, your speculation is correct. There is indeed something in the Steel Fortress controlling everything."
Grey Wolf’s expression became even graver.
Because the Spacecraft had computed and marked several gathering points directly on the city model.
The path of those Tier Seven and Eight mechanical monsters would converge at a specific point.
"It seems the hidden entity has been provoked and wants to eliminate us invaders."
Tier Nine mechanical monsters have not moved.
This indicates that utilizing Tier Nine mechanical monsters might introduce some instability.
It’s also possible that deploying Tier Nine mechanical monsters would deplete the Steel City’s internal energy.
Placing the majority of Tier Nine mechanical monsters on the fourth underground level is certainly not a coincidence and must have taken a great deal of effort.
"Spacecraft, gather all Transformers and through combination mode, even if we deplete all energy, unleash a brutal energy cannon attack on these mechanical monsters!"
These standard-model Transformers may be Tier Four only because of their materials and energy level!
In reality, once combined, they can continuously augment materials and energy.
If all one hundred Transformers are combined, they can unleash a Tier Nine energy blast!
Of course, such a combination would only provide a single strike.
After the bombardment, the damage to the machines might reach fifty percent, and the energy would be completely drained.
