Chapter 786



786 The battlefield and the distress signal (1)

In the fog-filled ruins, Tang Zhen continued to move forward. From time to time, he would wave his saber and directly smash some mechanical monsters into pieces!

These mechanical monsters were actually the handiwork of the nanomachines that had lost control and mutated. They used their own abilities to repair some machines, and then continuously optimized and combined, finally forming one mechanical monster after another.

As nanomachines lacked creativity, the mechanical monsters they created were all sorts of strange. Perhaps even these nanomachines did not know what these mechanical monsters were used for.

They were only inflexible in doing what they thought they should do, and didn’t need to consider other problems at all!

Fortunately, this situation happened in the world of loucheng. If the original world encountered a similar situation, it would not take long for it to be completely chaotic!

After thinking that these mutated nanomachines might be useful, Tang Zhen also collected a batch of them. Then, he used a special method to seal them and threw them into his storage space.

After finishing all of this, Tang Zhen raised his head and glanced at the anti-magic compass above his head. He discovered that it had just shot another light pillar into the sky.

This was obviously the method used by the foreign cultivators to locate the position of the light pillar and then track him.

Based on their speed, these guys should have reached the ruins, or they might have already rushed in!

With the greed of these foreign cultivators, they would not easily give up on their pursuit of him. Even if this place was full of fatal dangers, they would still choose to take the risk and enter.

Tang Zhen was extremely certain of this!

It wasn’t that Tang Zhen was looking at the foreign races with colored glasses, but that they really respected the law of the jungle. In the world of loucheng, if you saw a foreign race’s loucheng that didn’t take advantage of the situation, then you must think about whether they were brewing some plot.

Under normal circumstances, when these foreign races were fighting for benefits, they didn’t even care about their faces and would often fight with their swords!

Tang Zhen involuntarily let out a cold laugh when he thought of this. If this group of people wanted to catch up to him, they would have to hide from the hidden killing intent in this place. Just the nano battle robots that could be seen everywhere in the vicinity was enough to cause trouble for these foreign race cultivators.

He estimated that by the time they caught up to him, they would be in a sorry state, and casualties would be inevitable.

Tang Zhen, who didn’t know that those foreign cultivators had already been turned into a miserable state by the mummified corpses, decided to let them have a taste of the taste of the Super bomb. It would surely leave an unforgettable memory for these foreign cultivators!

Of course, the prerequisite was that they could leave this place alive.

After walking for a distance, Tang Zhen had already arrived at a huge open space in the ruins.

He looked at the area in front of him with a faint look of shock in his eyes as he slowly walked over.

Compared to the thick clouds outside the ruins, the field of vision in this area was very wide. Other than the pot-like cloud cover above their heads, they could see everything on the ground clearly.

It was precisely because of this that Tang Zhen was able to see the scenery here clearly. He also felt that it was unbelievable.

It turned out that on this piece of land that was more than a hundred hectares in area, there were huge skeletons scattered everywhere. There were also metal objects that looked like mechas but had long been scattered. They were entangled with the White bones and lay quietly on this desolate and uninhabited land.

Red, viscous-like clouds were emitting a terrifyingly high temperature. They were swimming around a few meters above the ground. Perhaps it was because of their existence that there were no clouds in the area.

Tang Zhen swept his eyes over the high temperature object and discovered that it was actually an extremely fine powder. However, for some unknown reason, it continued to burn, causing this powder to become extremely viscous, much like magma.

Once one’s body was contaminated with this thing, it would be impossible to wipe it off until they were burned to ashes!

It was obvious that this was a battlefield. The cultivators in this building had a life-and-death battle with the metal Invaders. After the battle, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and no one could take care of them.

If Tang Zhen’s guess was correct, the result of this battle wasn’t good. No matter if it was the cultivators in the tower or the metal Invaders, they didn’t obtain victory in the end and only ended up with both sides suffering heavy losses!

Even if there were some lucky survivors, they would have been drowned in the long river of time after countless years.

Tang Zhen stood on the spot and sized it up for a moment. He lowered his head and swept his eyes over the barren ground before slowly squatting down.

He reached out and brushed away the soil on the ground. Immediately, a metal object was revealed before Tang Zhen’s eyes. It was like a carrot that had been inserted into the soil. It looked completely intact, but its surface had a slight rust.

Tang Zhen gently took it out. He examined it for a moment before throwing it far away.

“BOOM!”

After the metal object fell to the ground, there was a muffled sound. Then, the space within a 50-meter radius collapsed, forming a dark vacuum.

The bones and metal wreckage in the area were all crushed into thin sheets of paper. As the vacuum area returned to normal, they slowly drifted to the ground.

This kind of terrifying killing effect caused Tang Zhen to be unable to help but be speechless.

Obviously, the area affected by the explosion had been directly compressed into a flat surface. If one was in it, they would not be able to escape!

The only question was, would a King level master have the chance to escape in the face of this attack?

Tang Zhen really wanted to see the actual combat effect of this kind of weapon. Therefore, he activated the application and carefully searched. Very quickly, he found three similar weapons among the corpses and metal debris.

After confirming that there were no more of these special bombs, Tang Zhen stopped the search.

However, while he was searching, Tang Zhen also discovered many nanomachines. They were scattered in different areas of the battlefield and were also in a dormant state.

If these nanomachines were all gathered together, no matter how small they were, they could still form a metallic tide of death that could be seen with the naked eye. Wherever they passed by, buildings would collapse, and all living things would be turned to dust!

However, after the Great War back then, these nanomachines had also suffered heavy losses. The batch that Tang Zhen was seeing now was probably the batch that had survived that year.

Looking at these nanomachines, Tang Zhen couldn’t help but have a sudden thought. He wondered if he could use them to break through the defense of the anti-magic disc and destroy the runic magic circle that it was operating.

However, when he thought of the terrifying vibration released by the anti-magic disc, Tang Zhen could only shake his head and dispel this thought. This was because even these nanomachines might not be able to withstand such a vibration and would instantly turn into metal dust!

Tang Zhen carefully avoided the hibernating nanomachines and went around the ruins. He carefully searched again but did not find anything of value.

This situation was quite normal. After all, this battlefield had existed for countless years. Many items could not withstand the erosion of time, so it was normal for them to decay and disappear.

Moreover, this place had probably been searched by Lou Cheng’s cultivators more than once. Even if there were any good things here, they would have been found and taken away long ago!

After Tang Zhen thought of this, he prepared to leave this place. At the same time, he was thinking of how to set up a killing trap and get rid of those foreign race cultivators who were still lingering behind him.

However, Tang Zhen had just lifted his foot when a set of words suddenly popped up in front of his eyes. It showed that he had just found a group of distress signals!

According to the positioning of the signal, the item that sent out the distress signal was located in front of him.

Tang Zhen was slightly startled when he saw this. A trace of bewilderment was immediately revealed on his face as he slowly walked toward the area where the signal was emitted.

After going around a huge pile of bones, Tang Zhen saw a huge deep pit with a diameter of one kilometer and a depth of dozens of meters. The bottom of the pit was filled with black liquid that was now in a semi-solidified state.

A strong stench was slowly drifting out from the deep pit.

Tang Zhen once again checked the holographic battle interface. After confirming that the distress signal was coming from the bottom of the smelly giant pit, he took out the underwater breathing monster and put it on his mouth. Then, he slowly walked down the slope.
