The mechanical bull does not bark like a real cow. When it is attacked, the indicator light on its head immediately turns red, and it shakes its head and launches a ferocious counterattack at Lu Xiao.
"Bah!"
The Uru Hidden Sword that popped out of the arm armor pierced the armor plate on the bison's neck, cutting off several lines. Yellow viscous liquid spurted out from one of the lines, and the mechanical bull's movements were also affected to some extent.
"Qiang!"
The mechanical bull that was constantly struggling to fight back forced Lu Xiao to change his body shape at any time. The other bison around seemed to have received the signal from their companions, and sprinted towards Lu Xiao with bright red instructions.
The sturdy Uru Hidden Blade penetrated deep into the brain of the mechanical bull. This hit seemed to hit the critical point. The mechanical Newton lost power and fell to the ground with its whole body covered in flames.
‘Is the head one of the key points? It’s no different from a real animal.’
Stepping on the nearby trees and jumping into the air, Lu Xiao used the levitation ability of the magic floating cloak to temporarily float in mid-air.
The destructive power of the mechanical bulls in the attacking state is astonishing. The heavy mechanical bodies are rampaging through the forest, breaking off small trees that block their impact route.
Lu Xiao saw more details of these mechanical bulls in the air. There were yellow can-shaped objects hanging on the outside of their abdomens on both sides, which were suspected to be fuel tanks that supplied energy.
Raising his hand to draw runes in the void, Lu Xiao was not too surprised by the inert reaction of the magic elements.
A small flame flew out after the rune was formed, and hit the small yellow canister mounted on one of the bisons.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The ignited tank first exploded, and then spread to the fuel tank on the other side. The entire body of the mechanical bull was blown to pieces, and even affected the surrounding companions who were charging together.
Yong Zhenhao, who was passing by, dodged out of the forest after the explosion, and Aletheia used a special alloy-strengthened tachi to stab the head of one of the mechanical bulls.
Lu Xiao also landed from the sky, and together with Yongzhen harvested the remaining mechanical bulls that were seriously damaged in the explosion.
"Yongzhen, how do you feel?"
Yongzhen tentatively slashed the sword on the armor plate of the mechanical bull that had lost power.
"clang!"
The sharp special alloy sword only made a shallow cut and was unable to penetrate the entire armor plate.
"It's very hard. The metal materials that make up these mechanical cows are stronger than the highest-grade alloy Aletheia can find in the main world."
Aletheia floated out of Lu Xiao's body and circled around the "carcasses" of these mechanical cows with interest.
"Interesting, I was worried about the lack of high-strength materials, but I didn't expect someone to give me a pillow when I fell asleep."
"Lu Xiao, Yongzhen, help me and remove all the usable armor plates from these guys."
"Let's find a place to build a temporary base first, and try to see if we can strengthen Yongzhen's sword."
…
The mechanical bull that Lu Xiao and Yongzhen encountered is not unique in this world.
Using the magic talisman cloak to slowly rise into the sky, Lu Xiao opened the eyes of the eagle and looked around.
Mechanical beasts with different shapes but similar core structures can be seen everywhere around this forest.
There seems to be no human beings living near this area, and mechanical beasts all over the mountains and plains are "gnawing" on the flowers, plants and trees.
Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully: "These machines can actually replenish energy by eating? Who designed it? If they can also absorb nutrients from animals... I probably know how humans became extinct."
Having just entered a new world, it was most important to find a suitable place to stay. Lu Xiao didn't want to fight these sleepless mechanical beasts in the wild in the middle of the night.
While scanning the nearby terrain, Lu Xiao discovered a large crack leading underground. The nearby mechanical beasts seemed to have no interest in the crack.
Remembering the location of the crack, Lu Xiao released the floating effect of the magic floating cloak and fell back to the ground in a free fall at high speed.
"Bang!"
With the effect of the A-level Leap of Faith, Lu Xiao did not suffer any damage when he landed.
Waiting for Yongzhen to put all the collected armor plates into the demon refining pot, the two of them accelerated their pace towards the direction of the big gap.
Lu Xiao's eagle vision can only capture living entities, and these machines do not belong to the category of living entities.
Along the way, the two could only rely on their hearing to identify the locations of nearby mechanical beasts, and try to avoid their range of activities as much as possible.
There is no road for the mechanical beasts to walk in the gap, but Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen can climb down the rocks, which happens to be a perfect refuge.
Lu Xiao originally thought this was a naturally formed rift valley, but he realized something was wrong when he climbed down to the bottom.
Although the original appearance cannot be seen due to the passage of time, the space at the bottom of the crack is unusually wide, and some stone structures similar to tables and chairs can be vaguely seen.
"Ugh~"
Precisely controlling the sword energy of the Xuanyuan Sword, Lu Xiao swept away the stone coverings on the surfaces of these objects, revealing their true appearance that had been covered in dust for many years.
Lu Xiao gently touched the rotten table: "Sure enough, this should be one of the underground shelters built by the civilized humans in the first season."
Civilized humans in the first season have perished, and the legacy they left behind has been transformed beyond recognition by the ravages of thousands of years.
The area near the crack has been exposed to the air all year round, and the surfaces of tables and chairs are covered with thick layers of stone. If Lu Xiao hadn't recognized it based on its familiar appearance, Lu Xiao would not have believed that this was once a place where people lived.
Perhaps due to the impact of the earth's crustal movement, part of the shelter was directly exposed to the outside. Lu Xiao and Yongzhen were able to find out about this long-abandoned underground shelter.
Continuing deeper into the ruins, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen were blocked by a thick stone door.
"Qiang!"
The indestructible Xuanyuan Sword easily cut through the stone door. The interior of the stone door, which had not had air circulation for many years, exuded a rotten smell.
"Wait a minute and let the air inside circulate with the outside world."
Since the interior of the stone gate is sealed, some equipment and furniture are still relatively intact.
Aletheia, who did not need to breathe, was the first to enter the stone door and look around. By checking the technical level of the equipment that had long since failed, Aletheia roughly guessed the level of technological development of the civilization in the first season.
"The overall technological level of humans in this world is at least a hundred years ahead of Lu Xiao's world, and their attainments in mechanical biotechnology are beyond the upper limit of their technological strength. It should be a certain genius with amazing talents who leads the mechanical biotechnology
great progress.”
During the subsequent exploration process, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen finally discovered the remaining traces of humans from the first season.
These human body tissues have long since disappeared, leaving only clothes made of unknown high-tech materials that have not decayed after thousands of years.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen found some electronic components among the clothes where the body could not be seen.
After Aletheia's analysis, these small pocket squares should be portable personal terminals used by humans at that time. They could be used to make calls and even display the AR projection of the person talking.
"These terminals have built-in ultra-small energy generators. They should still be able to be used normally. You can give them a try."
Under Aletheia's guidance, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen hung the terminal on their ears, and the terminal's neural connection function connected with the two. The first thing that appeared in front of their eyes was a huge red cross-shaped shadow.
"Error, error."
The terminal broadcast the report in English: "The DNA does not match and cannot be unlocked. Please do not steal other people's Focus. If you have any questions, please call..."
"So much nonsense."
Aletheia easily hacked into the Focus program, rewritten the underlying settings of the terminal, forcibly unlocked and restored the two Focuses to their factory settings, and bound them to the DNA of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen respectively.
"Welcome to Focus, today is July 25th, year '呲', the weather... is unknown, and the weather center cannot be connected."
Today's era has long exceeded the maximum age built into the Focus when it was designed, and the intelligent system failed to accurately tell the time when broadcasting.
After putting on Focus, the world in front of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen has changed a lot. Weird virtual buttons can be seen everywhere in the originally ordinary ruins.
