Chapter 135 Blueprints for Individual Magical Exoskeleton
A colossal creature, over three meters tall, squeezed out from the crack in the door.
Its main body is an old goblin battle mech, but it has been completely corroded by abyssal demonic energy.
The cockpit had been transformed into a gaping maw filled with fangs, with a massive multi-barreled machine gun on the left arm and a chainsaw gleaming with black light on the right.
"It's an Annihilator mech!" Marlowe was so shocked he fell to the ground with a thud, his voice cracking. "This thing was used to fight dragons! How could it have been corrupted by the Abyss?!"
The guards of the Black Gold Merchant Guild were also ashen-faced, their hands trembling as they held up their shields.
This is a monster that no human can fight.
"Brother Jiang, this thing looks tough to deal with." Chen Qi held the gun, his palms sweaty.
"Step back." Jiang Ming stared at the enormous creature.
A monster of general-level strength.
This was the first time he had faced a level 22 BOSS head-on since arriving in the other world.
"roar!"
The goblin exterminator spotted the living creature before it and roared from its gaping maw.
The multi-barreled machine gun on the left arm instantly preheated, and dark red magical energy flashed wildly inside the barrel.
"Find cover!" Jiang Ming shouted.
Chen Qi and the others reacted very quickly, immediately rushing towards the abandoned minecarts and piles of rocks nearby.
Da da da da!
A violent rain of magical energy projectiles poured forth.
The fist-sized energy blasts hit the ground, creating craters half a meter in diameter.
Several Black Gold Merchant Guild guards who were slow to run were blown to pieces on the spot.
Rock fragments flew everywhere, and the mine cart was riddled with holes.
Chen Qi and Xiao Zhang hid behind the rocks, so crushed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Marlowe and the remaining guards wailed and howled, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
Jiang Ming dodged quickly.
The fist-sized magic energy blast slammed into the ground several meters away, exploding into bursts of blinding fire.
The enormous impact made Jiang Ming's blood surge, but he managed to withstand it.
His high physique (over ten points) and the super-strong defense of his silver armor meant he only suffered minor shock injuries.
"Brother Jiang!" Chen Qi roared.
"Cover fire! Shoot it in the eyes!" Jiang Ming, braving the hail of bullets, gripped the [Fire and Thunder Prison] tightly with both hands and slammed his foot into the ground.
He shot out like a cannonball.
Chen Qi immediately leaned out halfway and opened fire with his rifle.
The bullets had no effect on the mech's outer shell, but they successfully drew the attention of the eyeballs inside the mech's gaping maw.
The mechs spun their cannons, preparing to unleash a concentrated barrage on Chen Qi.
Jiang Ming had already reached them.
"Cut it off!"
Jiang Ming swung his 1.8-meter-long heavy sword and, using the momentum of his charge, slammed it hard into the cannon barrel on the left arm of the mecha.
when!
The deafening clanging of metal echoed through the underground cavity.
Sparks flew everywhere.
Jiang Ming felt numbness in his hands.
The monster's "physical immune shell" was indeed ridiculously hard, and with that layer of dark magical energy shield, the sword only managed to leave a white mark on the barrel.
However, the machine gun fire was forcibly interrupted.
The mech let out an angry roar, and the black chainsaw on its right arm spun wildly, bringing down towards Jiang Ming's head with a piercing roar.
Instead of retreating, Jiang Ming advanced, stomping forward with his left foot and raising his sword with both hands to block.
Sizzle—!
The chainsaw rubbed violently against the dark red blade, sparks flying everywhere along with black demonic energy.
The three-meter-tall behemoth, coupled with the high-speed rotating chainsaw, created an extremely terrifying downward force.
If it were an ordinary Lv.20 warrior, this move would have sliced him and his weapon in two.
Jiang Ming held on with his bare hands.
Over 30 points of Strength attribute fully erupted!
The rocky ground beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, yet his legs remained rooted to the spot like nails, completely still.
"Is that all the strength you have?" Jiang Ming gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
The gaping maw on the mecha's chest emitted a startled gurgling sound.
Its pitiful intelligence simply couldn't comprehend why this tiny human could directly confront it in terms of strength.
"Get out of here!"
Jiang Ming exerted force with both arms and actually pushed the chainsaw back.
Taking advantage of the moment when the mech lost its balance, Jiang Ming twisted his wrist, and the blade of [Hellfire Thunder Prison] slid along the edge of the chainsaw, piercing towards the writhing dark red flesh on the mech's chest.
Physical immune shell?
Then let's not use a casing!
puff!
The sword tip pierced through the thin magical energy shield and embedded itself deep into the flesh.
The special effect [Blade of Calamity] triggers instantly!
"roar--!"
The mecha let out an extremely shrill scream.
Two hundred points of true burning damage exploded directly inside its body.
Dark red flames surged wildly along the sword's blade, instantly igniting the flesh and blood vessels connecting the metal gears.
A burnt smell filled the air.
The mech struggled wildly, its left arm's cannon swinging erratically, slamming heavily onto Jiang Ming's shoulder.
boom!
Jiang Ming was knocked back five or six steps, feeling a tightness in his chest.
"Brother Jiang! Are you alright?!" Xiao Zhang was so anxious that he wanted to rush out.
"Don't come any closer!" Jiang Ming spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, staring at the monster in front of him.
The flames on the mech's chest burned brighter and brighter.
The flames on the mech's chest burned brighter and brighter.
It tried to extinguish the fire with its hands, but the flames could not be put out by physical means.
The flesh and blood infected by the demonic energy of the abyss became the best fuel.
The vitality of general-level monsters is extremely tenacious.
The mecha suddenly stopped struggling, and its gaping maw of flesh on its chest opened wide, drawing in the surrounding black mist like a vortex.
[WARNING! Target is charging! Imminent release: Abyssal Magic Light Cannon!]
The red frame on my retina was flashing wildly.
Marlowe scrambled backward in terror, yelling, "Run! That's the Destroyer's main gun! It's going to blast us to bits!"
"Run my ass."
Jiang Ming shook his numb wrist.
There's no way to escape; this underground space is only so big.
He glanced at the greatsword in his hand, which was still dripping black pus and blood.
Since you like smoking, then you can smoke as much as you want.
Jiang Ming gripped the sword hilt with both hands and poured all his spiritual energy into it.
The dark red patterns on the sword instantly shone brightest, and the eerie blue arcs of electricity began to leap wildly, emitting a sizzling sound that made one's teeth ache.
Special effect: [Overload Detonation], activated.
Jiang Ming, dragging his giant sword, charged forward into the increasingly bright light emanating from the mecha's chest.
Three steps.
Two steps.
step.
The magic beam cannon on the mech's chest was fully charged, and a destructive black beam of light was about to burst forth.
Jiang Ming leaped high into the air, gripped his sword with both hands, aimed at the gaping maw, and hurled it fiercely.
"Take this!"
The 1.8-meter-long heavy sword transformed into a meteor streak of lightning and fire, precisely piercing the mech's mouth.
The sword was mostly submerged.
The mecha froze.
The magic beam cannon, poised to fire, was abruptly stuck in its throat.
next second.
boom--!!!
An indescribable, terrifying explosion erupted inside the mech.
Within a radius of twenty meters, everything was engulfed by blinding lightning and dark red flames.
A violent shockwave swept across the ground, directly blowing away an abandoned mining truck more than ten meters away.
Jiang Ming was thrown into the air by the shockwave and crashed heavily into the rock wall behind him before sliding to the ground.
The entire underground cavity shook violently, and crystals fell from above as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Marlowe and his guards lay on the ground, their hands tightly covering their ears, their heads buzzing.
It took a full half minute for the aftershocks of the explosion to gradually subside.
The smoke and dust cleared.
The metal gate, which was over ten meters tall, was completely deformed by the explosion.
That once invincible goblin exterminator has been reduced to a pile of charred parts.
Its upper body was completely blown apart, leaving only two thick mechanical legs standing in place, with faint sparks of electricity flickering at the broken ends.
Sold out instantly.
A true instant kill.
Jiang Ming stood up, supporting himself against the rock wall, and patted the dust off his armor.
"That's it?" He grinned.
[Ding! Defeat a Lv.22 Warrior-level monster.]
[Gained: 22000 experience points.]
Your level has increased to Lv.12. You have gained 2 free attribute points.
Your level has increased to Lv.13. You have gained 2 free attribute points.
Two promotions in a row!
Jiang Ming did not hesitate to put all 4 attribute points into Strength.
Strength surpassed 35 points!
He felt an inexhaustible surge of energy within him, and the internal injuries he had just suffered were rapidly healing in this warm current.
In my line of sight, several dazzling lights gleamed from the pile of scrap metal.
Huge explosion!
Jiang Ming strode over and began to search the corpse.
The first item was a palm-sized metal plate with a dark, gleaming sheen.
[Damaged Abyssal Magic Core (Purple Epic)]
[Description: A fusion of the Goblin Empire's pinnacle of industrial achievement and abyssal demonic energy. Although damaged, it still contains immense energy. It can be used for the synthesis of advanced constructs or as a substitute energy source for large-scale teleportation arrays.]
nice one.
The second item was a parchment scroll.
[Blueprint: Individual Magic Exoskeleton (Blue - Rare)]
[Note: After completing this course, you will master the manufacturing methods of magical exoskeletons. Basic engineering and alchemy skills are required.]
Jiang Ming's eyes lit up.
If this thing could be mass-produced, the combat power of the ordinary people in the special operations team would definitely increase several times over.
The last item was a black key with cracks all over its surface.
[Key to the Core Control Room]
[Note: This is the only credential to unlock the core area of the ruins.]
Jiang Ming put everything into his storage card and turned to look at Marlowe, who was still in a daze.
"Stop pretending to be dead, get up and get to work." Jiang Ming walked over and kicked the old man.
Marlowe shakily got up, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Ming had completely changed.
If before it was awe, now it's the fear of seeing a monster.
One sword strike blasted a Lv.22 Warrior-level monster into pieces?
Is this something a human being could do?
"Master Jiang...Master Jiang!" Marlowe's form of address changed, his voice trembling, "Your methods...are simply the work of a war god descended to earth!"
"Stop flattering me." Jiang Ming pointed to the deformed door. "The door is open. Lead the way."
Marlowe quickly nodded and bowed as he led the way.
Passing through the distorted and warped metal gate, the group officially entered the inner layer of the ruins.
The architectural style here has changed dramatically. The original rugged mine tunnels have disappeared, replaced by a futuristic, silver-white metal corridor.
Every few meters along both sides of the corridor, there is a dark blue magic lamp. Although the light is faint, it is enough to illuminate the path ahead.
"Click, click..."
A series of rapid metallic clanging sounds came from deep within the corridor.
"Watch out! It's the Goblin Empire's automated defense system!" Marlowe exclaimed, pointing to the ceiling. "That's the 'Ripper' mechanical spider, a level 18 elite construct!"
Dozens of mechanical spiders, each the size of a millstone and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, were rapidly crawling along the wall, their sharp mechanical legs leaving dazzling sparks as they scraped against the metal surface.
"Brother Jiang, let's go!" Chen Qigang raised his gun.
"No need, it's a waste of bullets."
Without turning his head, Jiang Ming pushed off with his feet and transformed into a blur as he rushed into the spider swarm.
[Hellfire and Thunder Prison] was not even drawn. Jiang Ming simply gripped the hilt with one hand and, with a terrifying strength of 35 points, swung the hundred-pound giant sword around like an iron rod!
boom--!
The three mechanical spiders in the front row were torn to pieces in mid-air before they even had a chance to activate their self-destruct program.
It's sizzling!
The electromagnetic field inherent in the sword instantly expanded, and the dark blue arcs of electricity, like serpents, precisely burrowed into the gaps in the mechanical spider.
The once agile monsters fell from the walls in droves, like toys that had lost power, and convulsed violently on the ground.
Jiang Ming remained expressionless, casually wielding his sword with each step he took.
Even the highly defensive alloy shell was like paper under the heavy blow of [Hellfire and Thunder Prison], either flattened or having its core shattered.
"This...this is a Level 18 elite construct!" Marlowe followed behind, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets. "Back then, the Black Gold Merchant Guild sacrificed an entire squadron of Sweepers just to capture one for research...how come he handled it like it was a fly?"
Chen Qi and Xiao Zhang exchanged a glance, smiled wryly, and put away their guns.
"You'll get used to it." Chen Qi patted Marlowe on the shoulder. "In Brother Jiang's eyes, rank is probably just a number."
As soon as he finished speaking, a metal statue at the end of the corridor suddenly turned its head, and two scorching red lasers shot out from its eyes.
[Alert! Intruder detected. Activate high-energy ray mode!]
"It's a gargoyle guard! Get out of the way!" Marlowe was terrified; this laser could burn through even a steel shield in an instant.
Jiang Ming snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.
He suddenly reached out with his left hand and grabbed a mangled mechanical spider corpse beside him out of thin air. Then, using his waist strength, he hurled it like a shot put.
The sound of whistling wind arose.
With the addition of 35 points of strength, the metal debris weighing several hundred kilograms was transformed into a terrifying cannonball. With a loud "thud," it smashed the gargoyle a hundred meters away into the wall. The laser beam swept haphazardly across the distorted metal face for a moment before going out completely.
Jiang Ming dusted off his hands and continued walking forward.
Along the way, neither the mechanical lurking in the shadows nor the corrosive slime emerging from the ground could last three seconds in front of Jiang Ming.
He was like a precise bulldozer, plowing a bloody path (or rather, a path of spare parts) through the inner layers of ruins filled with traps and monsters.
The guards went from initial fear to numbness, and eventually even began whispering among themselves about whether there were any valuable gears among the mechanical parts.
