Chapter 1240



1240 The metal brain

After seeing this scene, Tang Zhen immediately kept the remains of the mechanical creature and quickly rushed toward the tunnel in front.

As he got closer, the sound of fighting could be heard, mixed with the screams of humans.

They had already reached the end of the tunnel. A brightly lit underground hall suddenly appeared before Tang Zhen’s eyes!

After slowly walking into the hall, Tang Zhen saw the giant origin stone floating in the middle with a glance. His face also revealed an expression that said “as expected.”

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the giant origin stone was not complete. It was made up of many small origin stones, but under the constraint of a special force field, the many origin stones were always condensed together.

However, in that case, its value would be greatly reduced.

Under this huge origin stone, there were countless metal threads floating up. They kept dancing in the air like the roots of a plant, constantly absorbing the energy overflowing from the origin stone.

Looking down along the metal wires, one would see a huge transparent vessel filled with an unknown liquid. A Superbrain the size of a car was soaking in it!

From the light that flashed from time to time on the sulci of the brain, he could confirm that it was not a real biological brain, but man-made.

The metal threads that were absorbing the origin stone’s energy extended out from the metal brain. The shimmering light on the grooves was clearly the origin Energy that had been absorbed!

Tang Zhen had reason to believe that the operation of the entire Monster City was completed through the control of this metal brain!

At this time, in front of the sealed transparent vessel, there were dozens of smooth white armed robots standing. A row of antenna-like objects extended from the back of their heads like a Peacock spreading its tail.

Compared to the armed robots of the citizens, these white robots looked more like humans, and their facial features were also very similar.

The White robots held strange-looking weapons in their hands and fired at the armed robots in the hall. The energy beams shot out from the weapons burned holes in the metal walls, and molten iron dripped down.

The armed robots were riddled with holes, but they still continued to attack. From time to time, a white robot would be shot and fall to the ground with smoke billowing out of its body, a pained expression on its face.

At the edge of the hall, the citizen leader and the other two in their exoskeleton armors were approaching the metal brain under the cover of the armed robots.

It was obvious that their goal for this trip was related to this metal brain!

Upon seeing this, Tang Zhen turned his attention back to the metal brain. He wanted to see just what the citizen leader and the others were looking for by spending so much effort to enter this place.

After carefully observing it for a moment, Tang Zhen discovered that there was actually a smaller container beside the container that contained the metal brain. There was also a metal brain that had been shrunk countless times inside!

Tang Zhen’s eyes immediately brightened after seeing this miniature metal brain. He finally knew why the citizen leader and the others had come.

If he could get his hands on this miniature metal brain, then use the origin stone to activate and cultivate it, and invest enough resources, a brand new monster City could be built!

The so-called Monster City was actually a Metal City designed and built by the metal brain without its control. The floating city where the citizens lived could build specific buildings according to the requirements of the citizens!

As long as it was modified through special means, this metal brain could completely build a brand new floating city that would continue to grow and expand!

The value of this item was extremely high. Not only was it extremely valuable to the citizens, but it was also something that Tang Zhen was determined to obtain.

Other than the towers that could be upgraded, the construction of Holy Dragon City had always been completed by human labor. However, if he obtained this metal brain, he could hand over the construction work to the metal brain. Tang Zhen only needed to provide sufficient raw metal materials!

According to the terrifying rate of division and consumption of the monster City, the resources of the entire world could not be maintained for long. This world, which was on the verge of collapse due to the depletion of resources, was the best proof!

However, for Holy Dragon City, which could continuously invade other worlds, there was no worry of resource exhaustion. After One world’s resources were exhausted, they could simply switch to another world to continue harvesting.

In the past, the Holy Dragon City would only collect the world’s natural source and heavenly and earthly treasures. With this metal brain, the items collected would include various Special Metals, thus ensuring that the metal City built would be incomparably strong!

Tang Zhen no longer hesitated when he thought of this. His figure flashed as he rushed toward the center of the hall and headed straight for the miniature metal brain.

When they saw Tang Zhen suddenly charge into the battlefield, the citizen leader and the White robot’s expressions changed. At the same time, they made him their target and dense bullet comments instantly enveloped him.

“You’re looking for death!”

Tang Zhen coldly snorted. He casually took out a pile of spirit Jade talismans from his storage space and shot them out in all directions.

“BOOM!”

A violent explosion was heard. Flames, frost, poison gas, and lightning burst out of the exploded jade talisman, enveloping all the enemies who were attacking him.

The Jade talismans were so powerful that even a Lord-tier cultivator wouldn’t dare to touch them. The robots were no exception, and explosions kept coming.

The originally dense gunfire suddenly disappeared at this moment.

In that short instant, Tang Zhen had already arrived at the edge of the metal brain. He extended his hand toward the miniature metal brain at the side.

The moment he stretched out his hand, two special spiritual forces appeared and launched a sneak attack on him at the same time.

Tang Zhen sneered. He maneuvered his mental energy that was as vast as the ocean to launch a counterattack and directly destroyed the two mental energy that had ambushed him!

At the same time, a scream came from the edge of the hall. The two comrades of the citizen leader had fallen to the ground and were completely unconscious.

These two fellows had overestimated their own abilities and launched a sneak attack on Tang Zhen. In the end, they went for wool and came home shorn. Who knew if they would become idiots because of this?

As for the civilian leader, he was looking at him with a cold gaze, but he did not attack.

Clearly, he had already realized that he was not Tang Zhen’s match. If he were to act rashly, his ending might not be any better than his companions.

Tang Zhen ignored the citizen leader. Instead, he extended his hand and beckoned. The vessel containing the miniature metal brain fell into his hand.

As the storage space could not transport living things, Tang Zhen took out a backpack and carefully placed the container inside. He then turned to look at the giant metal brain beside him.

Through his spiritual power, Tang Zhen confirmed that it had a consciousness. However, it had fallen into a dormant state for some special reason.

However, if Tang Zhen were to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, the terrifying mental energy contained within the metal brain would react reflexively and kill all the enemies who tried to attack it.

By the same logic, if someone took the opportunity to destroy the city of monsters, they would also be counterattacked by the hidden weapons and eventually die together with the enemy!

Since he had already obtained what he wanted, Tang Zhen didn’t intend to provoke the controller of this Monster City. He didn’t want to implicate the residents of his Tower City by snatching the origin stones that maintained the operation of the metal brain.
