Chapter 101: Moving Maze

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The scene before their eyes had already exceeded the scope of everyone’s understanding, even beyond the scope of science and metaphysics.

After the metal mechanical structure was damaged, it could actually grow back like flesh and blood. It was really unbelievable.

Cheng Xu was also shocked.

He retrieved the production process of the battle puppet in his mind, but there was no relevant information.

“No, the problem isn’t with the puppet itself, but with the Energy Core.”

After a simple comparison, Cheng Xu quickly found the problem.

In the puppet blueprint that he had read previously, there was only information about the overall structure of the puppet. The only thing missing was the information about the Energy Core.

To put it bluntly, the battle puppet itself was just an empty shell. The real core technology was actually that special Energy Core.

Boom!

After the metal giant’s arm recovered, it immediately swung its iron fist at Cheng Xu.

Even though Cheng Xu had managed to use his Fire Magnificent Robe and his Protective Upstanding Qi in time, he was still sent flying by the terrifying force. “Brother Cheng, are you alright?”

As Xue Lingyu cried out in alarm, thousands of talismans turned into shackles that bound the metal giant in place, rendering it immobile.

“Watch me!” Liu Qiao’s Array Disk spun rapidly, and the array needles quickly adjusted themselves. Soon, he had set up a [Metal Devouring Array] around him. “I don’t believe it can withstand this Metal Devouring Array!”

As a Tier 3 array formation, the Metal Devouring Array specialized in countering metal attributes.

The metal giant’s metal surface rapidly began to decay under the combined effects of the talisman and the Metal Devouring Array.

Yan Changfeng seized the opportunity and slashed out with his Tiangang Determination, easily cutting a hole in the metal giant’s chest.

“Hahaha, Brother Liu, well done!” Huyan Zan laughed heartily, “To deal with this thing, 1 have to use Brother Liu’s Metal Devouring Formation.”

However, their attacks were still unable to harm the metal giant’s foundation.

The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He could not be killed at all.

On the other hand, the magic power of Cheng Xu and the others was constantly being consumed.

“This can’t go on. We have to think of a way to get rid of it.” Liu Qiao grimaced.

“We can try to attack his core.” Cheng Xu pondered and looked at Yan Changfeng. “Its core is in the center of its back. Brother Yan, please break the armor on its back. I’ll attack its core.”

“Understood.”

Yan Changfeng nodded in understanding. Then, under the cover of Huyan Zan and the other two, he took the opportunity to go behind the metal giant. With a sword technique, he successfully cut open the armor on the back of the metal giant.

Cheng Xu’s +7 flying sword followed closely behind and shot out with all his might, hitting the exposed core of the metal giant’s back.

Bang!

The sound of a light bulb shattering rang out, and dark golden mucus splattered everywhere. The metal giant’s Energy Core exploded with a bang, and a large amount of dark golden mucus flowed out.

The metal giant, which was still aggressive a second ago, instantly extinguished and collapsed on the spot.

“Phew… We finally defeated this puppet!” Huyan Zanchang heaved a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but step forward to take a closer look. “Speaking of which, is this puppet activated by this mucus?”

“Obviously.” Xue Lingyu bent down to examine the dark golden mucus. “This mucus should be the same as the red mucus in the immortal corpse. It’s just that I don’t understand where this mucus comes from and what specific use it has.”

Yan Changfeng turned to look at Cheng Xu.

Cheng Xu nodded slightly and immediately released Little Red from his storage bag.

As soon as Little Red came out, it immediately noticed the dark golden mucus. It flew up with a whoosh, but a moment later, it returned to Cheng Xu’s head with a disappointed expression.

It was obvious that Little Red was not interested in the dark golden sticky liquid.

“The devil cultivators seem to recognize this thing. Should we capture a devil cultivator and ask?” Huyan Zan suggested.

“Yes, but ordinary devil cultivators might not know much.” Yan Changfeng pondered and analyzed, “If possible, it would be best to capture that demoness and ask her.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, they collected the dark golden mucus that flowed out. Everyone got some and prepared to bring it back for the sect to study.

After that, they continued to head deeper into the core area.

Not long after, a few familiar figures flashed past the corner in front of them. It was the demonic team led by the demoness Xu Lu.

Their eyes lit up and they immediately chased after her.

However, when they reached the corner, they realized that Xu Lu and the others had already disappeared.

“Strange, where is she?” Liu Qiao was puzzled, “Even her aura has disappeared, where can she hide?”

Cheng Xu tried to open the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye and pricked up his ears, but he also couldn’t find any traces of Xu Lu and the others.

In his confusion, the entire underground city of traps began to shake violently again.

“Why is it shaking again?” Huyan Zan said worriedly, “It doesn’t feel right, everyone!”

“No!”

Liu Qiao seemed to have discovered something and suddenly became startled.

“What is it, Brother Liu?” Everyone looked at him in confusion.

“We seem to have been to this place before…” Liu Qiao looked around in bewilderment, his expression gradually becoming serious. “The formation hidden in the surroundings is indeed working. I’m afraid we’re already trapped in the formation.”

Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp.

“It seems like we have been here.” Huyan Zan confirmed in surprise.

“That’s not right.” Yan Changfeng took out the map in the jade chip and compared it with the map. “We are not going around in circles. The structure of the entire underground palace is changing.”

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

“It’s over. The problem is whether we can get out or not.” Huyan Zan cried, “Brother Liu, do you have the ability to break this array?”

“What do you think of the Tier 5 Grand Array?” Liu Qiao shook his head with a bitter smile.

Helplessly, everyone could only brace themselves and continue exploring.

In the subsequent exploration process, the entire city of mechanisms shook more and more frequently. After each shake, the structure and path of the city of mechanisms would change, just like a constantly changing mechanical maze.

After a few changes, the map provided by Fu Yunzi had basically lost its use as a reference.

During this time, they encountered two more battle puppets.

Fortunately, they were experienced enough to easily destroy the two battle puppets Energy Cores with their cooperation.

Rumble…

The underground palace began to shake again.

A moment later, a mechanical staircase leading to the lower level appeared in front of everyone. The two forks on both sides had been blocked, leaving only this staircase leading to the lower level.

“Why do 1 feel like someone is secretly manipulating the entire underground palace?” “They obviously want us to go down.” Liu Qiao frowned.

“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. I want to see who’s playing tricks!”

Huyan Zan grunted and walked down the stairs. Cheng Xu and the others looked at each other and followed him.

As they walked down the stairs, the space in front of them was much more spacious than before.

If the previous floors of the underground palace were like some kind of factory, then the floor in front of him was more like a strange laboratory. The air was filled with a strange smell of decay.

The walls on both sides of the passage were covered in Scarlet Flesh and Blood.

Perhaps it had sensed the presence of its own kind, Little Red on Cheng Xu’s head showed an inexplicable excitement.

Hiss…

A strange rustling sound rang out in their ears, causing them to tense up.

In the next second, a scream came from the depths of the laboratory, shocking everyone..
