Chapter 262 Defeat
In the previous encounters, the mechanical puppets appeared only on one side, either from the left or right, rarely from both directions at once.
As time passed, the mechanical constructs from the stone wall holes not only became stronger but also increased in number.
Their concerns were correct. The longer they dragged it out, the stronger the mechanical constructs from the stone wall would become. They might even face a bunch of level six puppets in the end.
At that point, they could only wear a bitter smile, complain, and say it was hopeless!
Then return to The Way of the Extraordinary!
Sun Miaomiao took out her pistol and aimed at a puppet, pulling the trigger.
Bang, bang!
The puppet used the ruins as cover to dodge the bullets, and immediately changed its rushing trajectory, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes leaping out from somewhere.
Sun Miaomiao was startled and warned loudly, "There is high intelligence in the mechanical puppets!"
"It's not just high intelligence, they are all highly intelligent," Guan Ya said loudly. Her marksmanship was more accurate, but even she had one bullet dodged just now.
A sinking feeling arose in their hearts. Not only had their physical strength and attack power increased, but they had also become intelligent. It would be even more difficult to eliminate the mechanical puppets in a short time.
Unexpectedly, one wave subsided only for another to rise. Xiao Yuan's slightly sharp voice came from the air, "The mecha is self-healing!"
The members of the Deceased Squad turned their heads sharply and saw tiny fragments of bronze converging towards the mecha's chest.
Slowly repairing the gap, blocking the old man inside the mecha.
Breathing Earth! Zhao Chenghuang's expression instantly turned ugly. "There is Breathing Earth in the composition of this mecha."
Self-healing is a characteristic of Breathing Earth, its three main properties being: self-repair, nourishing the soul, and being an excellent auxiliary material in all materials.
In The Way of the Extraordinary instances, Breathing Earth is rarely discovered, yet it is widely distributed and can be encountered from time to time, but the amount is small. Finding a few grams at a time is already a great harvest.
"We can't let it self-heal completely, otherwise our previous efforts will be in vain. We're doomed!" Fa Hongjige shouted, "Yuanshi Tianzun, think of a way, think of a way quickly!"
"I know, why are you shouting so loud!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded impatiently.
"Cancel Plan A, switch to Plan B." Guan Ya was a decisive and calm leader.
"No! Plan B cannot guarantee zero casualties." Zhang Yuanqing, as the male leader, rejected it outright.
The tactic of Plan A was for Sun Miaomiao to single-handedly eliminate the mechanical beasts, with Zhao Chenghuang and Zhang Yuanqing's spirit servants assisting. The others would coordinate with the Yin-Yang Disc to quickly eliminate the life form inside the mecha.
The entire process had to be controlled within five minutes to prevent the "Mandate of Heaven" rules from being triggered.
Once the Mandate of Heaven rules were triggered, the difficulty would skyrocket.
Plan B was for Xiahou Aotian to interpret the laws of the Bagua Diagram, and everyone would work together to survive the Mandate of Heaven, eliminating the mecha in the early stages of the first round, but there might be casualties.
He glanced at the mecha in the Bagua Square and gritted his teeth, saying, "Continue with Plan A. Everyone assist Sun Miaomiao in dealing with the mechanical beasts. I will deal with the mecha, I will take it down. But you have to guarantee that I won't be attacked by the mechanical puppets."
The situation was urgent, but fortunately, his teammates didn't act pretentious or waste words, without unnecessary concern or worry. Trusting him, they threw themselves into the battle. Xiao Yuan abandoned Asano Ryo and swept through the sky like a fighter jet, avoiding the "inorganic" bullet barrage with unparalleled speed, circling behind the machine gun group, and tearing apart a drone with brute force.
Ye'er's hands were also stained with blood, violent confrontation was not the Honeybee Fairy's specialty, stealth and poison were. Fortunately, with the assistance of the three Star Official spirit servants, vengeful spirits flew across the sky, using their telekinetic abilities to influence the drone's flight path and accuracy, shooting them down.
Zhao Chenghuang took out the bronze box, and ten terracotta warriors emerged, forming a pyramid formation, orderly and steadily facing the mechanical humanoid puppets.
Guan Ya, Tianxiaguihuo, and Hongjige were the main force for dealing with the ground mechanical beasts. The three melee professions charged in and out, as swift as the wind, aggressive as fire.
The Cat King speaker also played a sufficient role, with a suona tune to cheer them on, providing a battle power boost that was better than nothing.
Xiahou Aotian's only contribution was to provide everyone with several quite practical props.
On the other side, Zhang Yuanqing took out Little Red Riding Hood, shaking out the Greedy God General and the Baisi Zhan, but he did not attack immediately. Instead, he stared at the dialogue box on the Yin-Yang Disc. After freezing for ten seconds, a new dialogue box popped up.
[Question: One day, three guests came to a brothel: a eunuch, a Taoist priest, and a businessman. The madam called for the courtesan and said to the three guests, whoever can get the courtesan's body can have it free of charge. In the end, the businessman got it for free.
Note: Please state the reasons for the eunuch and Taoist priest's failure, and explain the reasons for the businessman's success. Answer within thirty seconds. Countdown:
Zhang Yuanqing thought for 0.5 seconds and had an answer in his mind.
But he wouldn't tell the mecha. Zhang Yuanqing spat out Ichikawa Mei, who was the only one he kept by his side, and ordered, "Mental attack!"
Ichikawa Mei raised her head without hesitation and let out a sharp cry.
She then whispered, "Master, the opponent is higher level than me. The mental attack is ineffective."
"What about a dream?" Zhang Yuanqing immediately changed his strategy.
Deep vortexes appeared in Ichikawa Mei's pupils as she stared at the mecha in the distance. After a few seconds, she shook her head and said, "His will is very firm. To pull him into a dream, I need fifteen minutes."
Fifteen minutes? It'd be too late…
Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts raced and he gave the order, "Freeze those bronze fragments."
Ichikawa Mei hovered in the air above the mecha, and with a press of her palms, the rapidly gathering bronze fragments were "pressed" to the ground.
The repair progress was hindered.
With Ichikawa Mei's level six peak strength, stopping the Breathing Earth from repairing was easy.
Zhang Yuanqing still didn't make a move, his eyes fixed on the Yin-Yang Disc, while he took out the Sacrificial Set to wear, took out the Thunderstorm Cannon, and took out the Swift Wind Gloves.
