Cataclysm King - #347 - Chapter 347 Mechanical Angel
It was not that Dong Qi had never thought about the secret base before, but the defense in that place was too tight and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.
Now after hearing Ji Xun’s plan, she immediately became very interested.
Dong Qi had absolute trust in Ji Xun. Although the plan still sounded outrageous, since it was said by the other party, she had no doubt about its feasibility.
The two hit it off immediately, riding their motorcycles all the way, turning around and heading towards Starfall City.
On the motorcycle, the wind howled.
Dong Qi’s modified motorcycle has much better performance than the commercial version in Ji Xun’s hands, and his driving skills are also good.
On the back seat of the motorcycle, Ji Xun felt as at ease as a passenger just like he did in Innocence City before.
As the two hurried on, they discussed some details of the upcoming battle.
Ji Xun needs to know more information about the secret base to make the plan more feasible.
“We usually train and get familiar with the equipment in the upper area of the base. The core of the defense force is actually our group of mechanics. But there are some secret experimental projects in the lower level of the base. I suspect it is the research institute that manufactures real Titan armor.”
“There was a laboratory accident. I quietly went to investigate and saw some scrapped special mecha parts being shipped out. Those were special types of artillery forged from ‘Demon Green Bronze’ and ‘Blood-patterned Steel’. Not only the structure of the artillery Very special. Normally, this alloy can carry a load at least a thousand times stronger than the main gun of the Hunter mecha. I can’t imagine how it was damaged. I suspect that those people should be developing some kind of super powerful weapon. weapon”
“weapon?”
“Hmm. Judging from the information I know so far, the Titan armor that has a record of killing seventh-order dragonborn may not be equipped with that kind of special weapon. Moreover, the weapon system of the armor is not designed separately, and there must be adaptations. model. Although I have never seen a real Titan armor, the various data of the machine can be estimated through calculations. A armor that can carry that kind of weapon is definitely not something that any technology I know of currently cannot achieve.”
“You mean, that base might be developing a special armor that’s even more powerful than the Titan armor?”
“Yeah. But it’s just a guess.”
“Also, this bionic combat suit has no zipper, so it can’t be opened like this~”
“.”
When Ji Xun heard Dong Qi’s description, he realized that the specifications of the secret base were higher than expected.
Obviously, the new king of Oran got some incredible drawings in the royal tomb.
Although most of the high-end mechanical resources in the Eastern Wasteland are currently in the Song family, the Oran royal family now controls the former federal parliament, and those old families have a lot of resources in their hands. They really need to gather some mechanical experts and precision The equipment is not a big problem.
That base is more mysterious than expected.
More valuable.
This thought made Ji Xun feel that he had to go there.
“You mean that the mechanics who were selected to become the Hunter God Armor have all been brainwashed by their faith?”
“Yes! The members of the Oran royal family did not tell what happened when they selected mechanics at the academy, but during the actual training, someone used a [moon] to continuously brainwash the students. I later quietly decrypted the research on this I discovered it only after collecting all the information. Fortunately, I know the secret method of “Deus ex machina”, so I was exempted from the pollution.”
“Moon? Silver Moon Sect?”
“Um.”
“.”
After this conversation, Ji Xun also found out what Dong Qi had been through during this period.
Being selected to be the control mechanic of the Hunter God Armor not only requires technical skills, but also involves risks.
Ji Xun had been thinking before that the Oran royal family had only been restored for a short period of time, so how could the mechanics be absolutely loyal.
When I heard it now, it turned out that belief pollution was used.
Fortunately, this old friend of mine had his own fate and was exempted from pollution.
Ji Xun unconsciously thought of the Silver Moon Queen in the mausoleum. Why did he feel that the Oran royal family was holding back some big move?
This is the heritage of the Augustus family.
Even if it is in decline, just taking out something can shock the world.
Dong Qi continued: “I have understood that “Deus Ex Machina” will not be contaminated by other beliefs. In other words, it is not easily contaminated. Because this sequence card master is very clear about the source of his extraordinary power, which is wisdom and creation. The mechanical demon god “The Omniscient and Almighty Tarona” pointed to by the sequence has the power of the demon god to inspire people with inspiration and wisdom, so that they can gain power from technology through creation and invention. It’s a faith in knowledge, not a god, and it’s hard to shake.”
“.”
Ji Xun was stunned when he heard this.
It turns out that this “deus ex machina” can also exempt other gods from being polluted by their beliefs to a certain extent.
But it’s certainly more than that.
At the same time, he also became more interested in the magical secret method of the mechanic sequence, and asked: “What else is special about this secret method, such as the increase in combat ability?”
Regarding Ji Xun, Dong Qi had nothing to hide. She said directly: “In terms of combat ability, the most important thing is the huge increase in ‘skill’. A large part of the ‘skill attribute’ is actually the ‘nerve recruitment ability’. The control is ordinary Mechas only require dexterity of hands and feet. But truly high-level mechanical technology requires micro-control capabilities related to nerves. For example, this Hunter God Armor.”
As she spoke, she continued to introduce: “Humans only have two hands and two feet. If you only rely on your four limbs to control the mecha, the action instructions that can be executed per unit time are very limited, and there will be operation delays. But there are countless nerves. . Well, to put it simply, it is like directly using the nervous system to control the mecha like controlling one’s own body. The efficiency is not at the same level. This is why the Hunter God armor I control is more powerful than others. reason”
“I see.”
It was not difficult for Ji Xun to understand.
He actually felt this way from the first time he saw the Titan mecha in the mausoleum.
That kind of flexibility is exactly like the human body.
So that’s it.
It can even be deduced that the Titan armor once designed by the Talon Dynasty was tailor-made for this mysterious magic.
Sure enough, each of the fifty-two mysterious magic spells has greatly improved the card master of its exclusive sequence.
Thinking of something, Ji Xun took out a booklet and said, “By the way, Qiqi. This is the entry-level secret method of “Inducing the God to Fall”. You can take a look when you have time. “
It is not a related sequence and it is very difficult to get started.
But at least if you understand the principle of this extraordinary force like gravity, you may be able to control it more efficiently.
“good!”
Dong Qi agreed, and at the same time he was delighted and said with emotion: “Ji Xun, I find that you can really surprise people every time.”
The speed of the motorcycle was very fast, and Ji Xun and the two quickly returned to Starfall City.
The fighting continues, and the city is already a sea of fire.
The roar of dragons and the sound of artillery fire are endless.
The Titan armor did not appear, and no outrageous masters from the southern continent came to reinforce them.
However, the main force of the Iris Ninth Legion has arrived.
Tens of thousands of people are besieging the masters of the Oran royal family in the city, and massacring those residents who have not had time to escape.
Starfall City is a mechanical city with no shortage of artillery and ammunition.
The urban building structure is complex and has a large number of basements.
Even if it’s a street fight, it won’t end in a while.
Ji Xun observed outside the city, then disguised himself as a sergeant from Nanlu University and sneaked into the city to take a look at the situation.
As expected, Starfall City itself has many machinery workshops of the Oran Royal Family, which requires time to move.
But now it seems that the more important reason why those Oran masters are dragging them in the city is to evacuate the secret base to the north.
Ji Xun didn’t delay in the city and rushed north with Dong Qi.
After traveling dozens of kilometers and less than ten minutes, the two found the “secret base”.
This is a dead wasteland.
There are no traces of artificial construction on the ground.
“The base is about forty meters below the ground floor.”
“Um.”
It’s not that easy to empty a large base.
It hadn’t been long since the battle took place, and Ji Xun guessed that there might still be a lot of equipment and people in the base that had not had time to be moved.
Otherwise, the “Drama God” Domingo and those masters from the Oran royal family in Starfall City would not have been trying their best to cover.
Ji Xun lay down on the hillside and observed, but had no intention of entering the base.
In his opinion, the truly valuable and easily transferable things in the laboratory must be on the way now.
Those experimental data and drawings were what Ji Xun cared about most.
The priority is even higher than the finished mecha.
Intercepting this batch of things is the first goal.
Thinking of this, Ji Xun said: “Qiqi, split up and find the escape route first!”
In the communicator, Dong Qi responded: “Okay!”
The two immediately took action.
With Dong Qi as an insider, Ji Xun already knew the specific structure of the underground base.
This kind of base must have an escape route.
The people in the base are basically contaminated by their faith, and they are not afraid of being exposed.
It’s a pity that there is Dong Qi.
She knew there were at least three escape routes inside.
However, the previous plan to intercept the Song family had probably failed, so Ji Xun felt that these three channels could be eliminated.
If those in the Oran royal family don’t want to be blamed, they will definitely activate some backup escape routes.
Those important things will probably be on that road as well.
Originally, Ji Xun thought that he might have to try his luck if he wanted to find it.
Anyway, he searched for a while and couldn’t find any trace on the ground.
However, I didn’t expect it. Not long after, I heard Dong Qixiao’s excited report from the communicator: “I think I found it!”
Ji Xun quickly leaned over and saw Dong Qizheng touching the ground with his robotic arm, as if “detecting thunder and auscultating”, and asked: “Where is it?”
Dong Qi pointed in a direction and said: “Seventy meters underground. Fifteen degrees east by north. There are signs of regular activity of living entities.”
“Um?”
Ji Xun was slightly surprised when he heard her accurately telling the direction of the tunnel.
Dong Qi explained: “The ‘omnisensory sensor’ equipped on the battle armor can not only sense the biological characteristics of living creatures, but also has a thermal display. Regular subtle vibrations such as footsteps and heartbeats can be identified. . Just when I was here, a group of people passed by just now, about fifteen people.”
“so smart?”
Ji Xun was really shocked when he heard this.
This perception ability is definitely far beyond his reach.
He even felt that it would be extremely difficult for card masters at least level seven to detect it.
Oh, that’s right too.
There was no seventh level in the Eastern Wasteland.
When this secret base was built, it was most likely that the designer’s idea was to build it according to the perception limit of the sixth-level card master.
At the same time, Ji Xun was also filled with emotion. Fortunately, the Titan mecha he encountered in the mausoleum was not piloted by a living person, otherwise its combat effectiveness would have increased several times.
Now that the channel is determined, everything is easy to say.
If you find a mouse hole and want to catch mice, the best way is not to get into the hole, but to blast them out.
Now that we know there is a big secret in this base, let’s see how big it is!
Ji Xun: “Qiqi, stay away first.”
Dong Qi: “Okay!”
After saying that, Ji Xun directly took out a card. After activating it, the air was immediately filled with a faint pungent smell that was difficult for human olfactory organs to smell, but that werewolves could smell.
This is a special flare equipped for the reconnaissance team. Its composition is urine used by some high-level monsters to mark their territory.
The sense of smell of a high-level dragonborn can detect the smell of blood dozens of kilometers away, not to mention this specially made signal flare.
This means: There is a major discovery and urgent support is needed!
After doing all this, Ji Xun cleaned up the traces of his existence, then ran a few miles away and got up.
Sure enough, not long after, the crushing breath of a storm arrived first, and in a blink of an eye, three giant dragons galloped over, inciting the flesh-winged fire dragon.
One is at level seven and two are at level six.
Ji Xun looked at the leading red dragon with scars on its eyebrows and sneered in his heart: “Hey, the legion commander is here in person.”
The visitors were none other than the commander of the Ninth Legion, Benn, and the two deputy commanders.
Just in time.
There were not enough ranks, and Ji Xun was worried that he wouldn’t be able to blow up any big fish.
These three guys are here. If there really is a Titan mecha in this secret base, it’s time to come out for some air.
The three red dragons hovered in the sky for a few breaths, and soon found the mark left by Ji Xun.
They had no doubt at all why there were marks in this wilderness. A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the void, and dragon flames that could melt gold fossils spat out from their mouths.
The Dragonborn’s temptation is so simple and crude.
Under the extremely high temperature of the dragon’s breath, the ground was like melted chocolate, visibly burned into flowing magma.
Soon, a huge hole burned out ten meters, twenty meters, or thirty meters away.
The three red dragons sprayed dragon breath and burned through the ground, but nothing unusual was found.
However, this depth is already within the perception range of the seventh-level card master.
The panicked movements of the people in the base below immediately caught Ben’s attention.
His amber vertical pupils flashed: There is someone down there!
Then the dragon’s breath spurted out wildly.
In the blink of an eye, a secret escape passage came into view.
Those in the secret base also knew that they had been discovered, but the three-headed dragonborn arrived too suddenly and found their location too accurately, giving those underground no time to react.
Several cannonballs were fired from the breach in the tunnel, hitting the three red dragons without any pain.
The dragon was naturally brave, and without any hesitation, Ben rushed into the secret passage with the other two deputy captains.
In the distance, Ji Xun lowered his breath and stared at his surroundings with all his concentration.
In his mind, someone had burned down the “mouse hole” and the mice should have emerged from somewhere else.
This time, however, he miscalculated.
The fighting underground became extremely fierce from the beginning.
“Boom! Boom! Boom”
A series of explosions were like an earthquake, shaking Ji Xun as if he was dancing in the wilderness, and his body was jumping up and down while lying on the ground.
Looking at the fluctuating trajectory of the battle, Ben and the other three came from two directions.
While chasing those who retreated into the distance.
Went to the base on one side.
The battle is still fierce, which means that the three people in the southern continent are still alive.
Calculating the distance, some of the three people from the southern continent have already reached the core area of the base.
Ji Xun estimated the time in his mind and said to himself: “If there really is a Titan, it should be coming out soon.”
This seventh-level dragon-born card master who transformed into a giant dragon, I am afraid that no one in Donghuang can handle it now, except the Titan.
If not, that’s just right. Losing both sides is a foreseeable outcome.
The reality was similar to what he expected, and the battle suddenly changed.
The battle in the core area of the base came to an abrupt end.
“Killed?”
Ji Xun also felt a little surprised.
Why does it feel like the sixth-level Dragonborn was dropped instantly?
Even the Titan armor should be able to withstand a few rounds.
But I didn’t feel the aftermath of the stalemate battle at all, it just suddenly went out.
Before he could figure out what was happening, a blazing dragon flame burst out from the ground.
Immediately, Ji Xun watched Ben, whose dragon scales turned slightly black, emerge from the hole like lightning.
That dragon’s roar mixed with sadness seems to make people “panic”?
The other two deputy commanders didn’t come out, does that mean they were really killed?
“what’s the situation?”
Ji Xun’s eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that things were different from what he expected.
The seventh-level dragonborn was so frightened that he ran away in panic?
hiss.
What is there underground?
Before the brain could digest the information in front of him, the terrifying scene happened again.
As soon as Ben flew out, Ji Xun watched a blue-white energy wave erupt from the breach in the ground, and then pursued it like a tracking missile, leaving a long trajectory in the dark sky.
This speed is faster than the seventh-level dragonborn, and he will catch up to the target in the blink of an eye.
Ben knew he couldn’t escape, so he made a defensive posture in mid-air. The moment the dragon scales solidified, there was a “boom” and the huge dragon body was submerged in the fierce energy explosion.
Looking again, the red dragon was covered in dragon scales with bloody mouths everywhere, and it was no longer as powerful as when it came back.
Embarrassed.
In the distance, Ji Xun saw the exploding energy ball and couldn’t believe it: “This thing is actually a magic artillery?”
A seventh-level card master who transformed into a dragon and severely damaged him with one shot?
The power is so powerful that it’s hard to believe.
Ji Xun had seen the Titan armor with his own eyes. In his opinion, even the original Titan in the mausoleum did not have such exaggerated combat power.
What’s going on?
There was no need for him to guess, because at this moment, the mecha that fired the cannonball appeared.
In the cave, a broken white armor slowly rose into the sky.
The wilderness of holy white light was bright all around.
This is a humanoid mecha.
But one arm was missing, there was a broken wing on his back, and the armor all over his body was full of scars.
Seeing this familiar shape, Ji Xun’s pupils shrank suddenly: “Mechanical Angel?”
This was not the Titan he remembered, but a brand new form of mechanical armor.
The Broken Angel’s armor obviously has a strong sense of history, and this injury was definitely not caused now.
But when it was taken out of the tomb, it was already broken.
The people in this secret base are trying to repair it!
The damaged areas on its body clearly show traces of repairs and ongoing repairs.
“hiss”
Ji Xun took a breath of cold air.
At this moment, he finally understood what the weapon Dong Qi had said before that the base was secretly researching.
The new king of Oran brought out something incredible from the imperial mausoleum!
But what surprised him even more was what came next.
Bane in the sky was hit hard by a magic cannonball and knew he couldn’t escape, so he immediately fought back.
His neck swelled and turned red, he charged up a mouthful of super dragon flame and sprayed it towards the mechanical angel.
A hundred-meter-long fire dragon spewed down, the air was distorted by the high temperature, the rocks were instantly turned into ashes, and everything around was burned because of the dragon’s breath.
This terrifying power caused Ji Xun, even a few miles away, to feel a devastating burning sensation.
But even with such a blow, the angel did not dodge.
It calmly lifted the only broken mechanical arm, and an energy barrier suddenly appeared.
“Hua Hua Hua”
The dragon’s breath sprayed like a waterfall on the barrier, and the angel was safe and sound.
Ji Xun looked at the scene in front of him. He was surprised at the same time, and suddenly his eyes became shocked: “This energy shield. Absolute defense? No! It’s not a normal energy shield!”
If you look carefully, the barrier protecting the mechanical angel is not a normal rebound flow, nor is it a melting dragon’s breath.
Instead, it was excluded and an isolation layer was formed!
Ji Xun always felt that this ability was inexplicably familiar, and suddenly thought of something: repulsion?
