Chapter 19 Kill the BOSS! The tide of monsters is receding! Battle merit ranking rewards!

"Return the treasure to me and keep your body intact."

The mechanical explorer stared coldly and spoke again.

On the side, Li Yuanqing, Xiao Muxue, and Li Tianyu, who finally woke up, were stunned when they saw this scene.

The cold mechanical sound just now clearly came from the mouth of this monster!

Monster...can talk?

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has seen many monsters that can speak human words, and there are even some that can directly communicate with the soul, which is not uncommon.

The key is, what does this black iron-level BOSS want from him in return?
  Although his current equipment can be called luxurious, including three pieces of black iron level equipment.

But compared to the BOSS monster that can speak at level eight, black iron-level equipment is obviously not that impressive.

Like ordinary monsters, they can speak human words, at least after level three or even level four.

There are only two things in him that can truly be called treasures!

One is the remains of the spiritual platform acquired from Li Yuanqing.

The second is the [Time Crack] who was reborn and returned with him!
  The purple gemstone has been lying quietly in the corner of the storage space.

Lu Cheng's thoughts changed rapidly.

Along the way, he discovered many anomalies.

The monster tide that Settlement No. 1024 encountered was different from the ordinary monster tide!
  And this abnormality is concentrated in monsters such as robots!
  The silver-backed poisonous insects and rubber monsters were just attracted by the tide of monsters, and came to destroy the settlement hub.

Only earth-burrowing robots are deliberately killing humans!
  Moreover, they specifically picked out people from Li's technology to kill!

"If what he wants is the remains of the spiritual platform..."

Lu Cheng had an idea and made a guess.

If this mechanical explorer came from the ruins that produced the remains of the Lingtai, then all of this would make sense!

They surrounded the settlement and killed humans in order to recover the remains of the spiritual platform!
  No wonder before, the elite robots used all kinds of tricks as soon as they met.

Most likely, he found out that the remains of the Lingtai were on his body!
  Lu Cheng suddenly realized that the fireball condensed in his hand.

"Oh!"
-
  10105!

The fireball exploded on the mechanical explorer, causing more than 10,000 damage.

This mechanical explorer has no magic resistance.

Lu Cheng didn't take it lightly at all and moved calmly.

Although the mechanical explorer only has less than 30,000 health left.

But it can speak human words, and it is more likely to come from a certain ruins. There may be some ultimate skill hidden in it!
  When exploring the ruins in the previous life, strong men at level 100 or even level 200 often fell!

next moment.

The mechanical explorer moved.

"The enemies...all...cleared..."

Its mechanical eyes turned blood red, and it raised its arms, weakly.

As the mechanical explorer moved, the surrounding ground-drilling robots came to a standstill.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Cheng fired another fireball.

But then, he couldn't see the mechanical explorer anymore.

The ground-drilling robots started moving, gave up besieging Lu Cheng, and quickly surrounded the mechanical explorers, forming a dense pile.

"Crack...knock..."

Amidst the sounds of mechanical collisions, the pile of metal piled higher and higher, and a huge thing gradually took shape.

With the Mechanical Explorer as the core, hundreds of earth-drilling robots are actually splicing together to form a giant!
  On the head of the mechanical giant, there is a pair of cold and scarlet mechanical eyes, which is the mechanical explorer.

"This……"

On the side, Li Yuanqing and others looked at this scene, their faces turned pale.

This mechanical giant is already four or five stories tall before it is fully formed, and it is much more terrifying than the previous elite robots!
  Lu Cheng was not afraid and raised his hand to throw the fireball.

"Oh!"
-
  10158!

The fireball hit the mechanical giant, and a mechanical failure suddenly sounded.

A ball of scrap metal peeled off, and the earth-drilling robot that made up that part was destroyed.

[Ding, you killed the earth-penetrating robot (level 8), gained experience value +175, and combat merit +8. 】

"This is... a mechanical skill, rapid reconstruction?"

Lu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard the system prompt. He had a lot of dealings with people in the mechanical profession in his previous life, and there was a semi-god-level mechanic in Daxia.

"but……"

Lu Cheng's heart moved.

If the demigod in the previous life used Reconstruction, the health bars of all mechanical components would merge into one, and the blood volume would be extremely thick.

But now, the health bars of these hundreds of ground-burrowing robots are still independent and not fused.

It proves that the mechanical explorer's skill level is not high and the threat is not great.

And there is a more critical point.

The health bar of the mechanical explorer will also be independent!

Previously, the Mechanical Explorer had already eaten two of his fireballs, and his health was about to bottom out!
  Lu Cheng rushed forward, grabbed the earth-boring robot that was still being spliced, and climbed up.

"Roar……"

One by one, the earth-drilling robots roared, but too many of their limbs and parts were put together, making them difficult to move, and their resistance to Lu Cheng was very limited.

After a few moments of effort, Lu Cheng climbed to the middle position.
-
  35.
-
  29.
-
  31...

Damage figures popped up on Lu Cheng's head one after another, and there were ground-drilling robots that could still move, constantly attacking him.

Lu Cheng was unmoved. Seeing that his blood volume was about to drop to half health, he raised his hand and a fireball came out.

"Oh!"
-
  10175!

+422!

Two numbers appeared one after another.

An earth-drilling robot was blasted into scrap metal, and Lu Cheng's blood volume returned to full.

After recovering his status, Lu Cheng continued to climb quickly.

Climbing to the top of the mechanical giant, he saw the mechanical explorer at a glance.

It became the hub of this mechanical giant, with countless mechanical tube chains connected to it.

[Mechanical Explorer: 2/14]

Lu Cheng glanced at the BOSS's health bar and greeted him directly with a fireball.

"Oh!"
-
  10188!

After a fireball, the mechanical explorer was left with nothing but blood and skin!
  "and many more……"

The mechanical explorer suddenly spoke, spitting out a cold synthesized voice.

"Ok?"

Lu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, ready to go.

"...altar...need, treasure...ancient..."

The mechanical explorer spat out several incoherent words.

"what?"

The next moment, the sound of breaking wind sounded!
  Two giant mechanical arms attacked together, as fast as lightning, and they were going to crush Lu Cheng into pieces!
  Lu Cheng raised his hand directly, and the fireball that had been held in his hand for a long time came out!

"Oh!"
-
  10199!

Bright red damage figures appeared, and the mechanical giant's movements stopped abruptly.

"Boom, boom..."

Continuous explosions sounded from inside the mechanical giant.

One by one, the ground-drilling robots were scrapped, and this mechanical giant exploded into a pile of scrap metal!
  A system prompt rang in Lu Cheng's ears.

[Ding, you killed the Black Iron BOSS: Adaptive A-shaped Mechanical Explorer, and gained +7609 experience points! 】

[You alone killed the Black Iron BOSS of the same level or above, and obtained free attribute points +16! 】

[In the battle to defend the settlement, you killed the Level 8 Black Iron BOSS: the Adaptive A-shaped Mechanical Explorer, and gained +800 combat merit, and the battle settlement reward increased significantly! 】

[You destroyed 71 earth-penetrating robots (level 8), gained experience points +12425, and combat merit +568. 】

Then, the system prompts sounded over the settlement.

[Notice: All BOSS-level monsters in the monster tide are dead, and the monster tide is receding! ! 】

[Victory in the settlement guard battle, the battle merit list will be announced soon, and rewards will be released! 】
