Zhao Cheng隍 took several deep breaths to calm his complex emotions. His face returned to its cold and stern expression, and he said in a light tone, "Biquge

I have no siblings, I'm not married, and my father doesn't need to borrow money from loan sharks. But I was indeed very sad just now, so sad that I wanted to kill myself..."

He paused and said:

"In the investigation just now, two things were confirmed. First: this is the final level. That mech is the final boss of the dungeon, and there are three stone tablets standing next to the Bagua Square... We were all wrong, the enemy is not an ancient war god of Jin Ting, but a Moist mech. Second: the ability of Universal Love is to make people lose their fighting will. Even if the enemy swings a butcher knife at you, you will not have any intention of resisting, and you will even feel sad because they are your siblings and dearest friends."

The ability of Universal Love is to make people lose their fighting will? Everyone felt it was a tricky situation. Facing a Weak Overlord-level enemy, losing the will to fight often leads to death.

Just "Universal Love" alone is so tricky, let alone the other three rules.

Hongjige gasped, being pragmatic and speaking frankly: "We're screwed, won't half of us have to die?"

These words undoubtedly added insult to injury, and the faces of the team members became even more unsightly.

Asano Ryo, the weakest, clenched her Ice Soul Blade, her little face tense.

If there were bound to be casualties in the team, she knew she would be the first to be sacrificed. The number of The Way of the Extraordinary in Japan is small, and the amount of props stored is even smaller. Although the team leader and deputy team leaders often patted her on the shoulder and said: Ryo-chan, work hard, you are the future hope of the Chizuru Group.

But in fact, the Overlord props retrieved from Takamagahara have never been allowed for her to touch.

They did give her a Saint-quality prop, but the quality was mediocre, and it was not a strong attack or strong defense type. It was just an auxiliary prop, what use could it be?

At this moment, Asano Ryo, who was in a tense state, twitched her ears and heard the dense clicks of the mechanisms and the buzzing of the gears spinning at high speed.

She was startled and looked towards the source of the sound, which came from the holes in the stone walls that resembled tunnels.

"Attention, enemy attack!" Xiahou Aotian judged it to be a mechanical weapon from the sound, "Many of them."

As soon as he finished speaking, mechanical creations slid out of the holes on the left, resembling unmanned aerial vehicles, with steel as their skeletons, membrane wings as their wings, and black iron pipes extending from their belly compartments, like the muzzles of gattling guns.

There were more than thirty UAVs, and after sliding out of the holes, they glided and hovered over the ancient city, adjusting their fuselages with the dark muzzles aimed at the crowd.

In the next second, "bang bang" sounds were incessant, the muzzles spewing flames, and black bullets shot towards the crowd below.

A bullet landed next to Hongjige, and with a "boom," the expanding fire and raging air waves directly blew him away. His clothes were torn, his skin was black with a hint of red, and a single bullet seriously injured him.

Boom boom boom…

Bullets exploded around the crowd, and the scorching fire and terrifying air waves struck the Dead Men's Squad with inescapable force.

In just one round, everyone was injured.

"Why are there drones in a Song Dynasty dungeon? Did gunpowder invent in the Song Dynasty? And they even made bombers. If the Mo Sect is so awesome, why didn't they conquer the world," Hongjige roared.

"This is not the time to complain," Zhang Yuanqing raised his small shield and protected Guan Ya behind him.

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Cheng隍 turned into starlight and withdrew from the area the moment they were hit.

Xiao Yuan also activated her Gu Body in an instant, turning into a strange and stunning wasp woman, avoiding the subsequent bombings with unmatched speed.

Asano Ryo was blasted out with the Water Ghost passive, and hurriedly summoned two shikigami to resist the rain of bombs.

The drones roared over the heads of the crowd and drifted towards the higher part of the mountain cave, circling once and then turning around.

"This won't work!" Tianxia Guihuo shouted, "Are you brainless, are you dead? If you're not dead, get up and work."

With that, he stepped forward, and a red flame spewed from his palm, condensing into a long knife that emitted high temperatures and distorted the air, and swept horizontally towards the sky.

A sea-like arc of fire swept across the wide mountain belly space.

Boom boom boom…

The bullets were licked by the flames, turning into clusters of exploding fireworks. The entire mountain cave was shaking, and gravel and dust were falling.

On the other side, Hongjige put on red boxing gloves and threw fireballs towards the sky, intercepting the remaining bullets with precise fire control.

For a time, hot winds raged in the mountain cave.

The second wave of barrage was blocked, and the drones swept over the heads of the crowd, drifting to the high ground.

Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly put on the Swift Wind Gloves, stirring up gusts of strong wind, but the mountain cave space was wide and the drones were gliding too high, and the strong wind only made them wobble for a moment.

Zhang Yuanqing reluctantly swung two wind blades, felling two drones.

Guan Ya and Zhao Cheng隍 took out their guns one after another, but this was obviously not enough to stop the third wave of barrage. No matter how fast their marksmanship was, it was impossible to shoot down more than thirty mechanical creations in a few seconds.

At that moment, a chilling wind howled, and Sun Miaomiao spat out a long breath of Yin energy. Spirit servants emerged from her small mouth one after another, drifting towards the drones.

The next moment, there was the sour sound of the steel skeleton bending. Faced with these mechanical creations that did not possess divinity, the most basic telekinetic abilities of the spirit servants could easily deal with them.

The only requirement was... there had to be many spirit servants.

One drone after another fell from the sky, exploding in various parts of the ruined city.

"It's over..." Asano Ryo breathed a sigh of relief, dismissed the shikigami, and bowed to Sun Miaomiao: "Arigato, Sun-chan."

"You're welcome, this is just the beginning. We haven't even fought the boss yet, but we've been made to look so disheveled by these small fries," Sun Miaomiao used Star Escape and returned, her round and sweet face filled with solemnity. "Now we can be sure that there are mechanical creations hidden in the holes in the mountain walls. If nothing else happens, this is just the first wave."

Hongjige staggered over and glared at Tianxia Guihuo, incredulous:

"What was that move you just used? How can you, a level 4 Saint, have such abundant spiritual power and such exquisite fire control?"

The layman watches the fun, the expert watches the trick.

When Tianxia Guihuo wielded the Flame Blade, it was just a splash of fire in the eyes of the layman, but in the eyes of the Fire Master, it was like someone using One Finger Zen meeting someone using Six-pulse Divine Sword.

He couldn't help but want to kneel down to him.

Tianxia Guihuo refused to answer, "It's none of your business."

Xiahou Aotian next to him sneered, "Stupid Fire Master, you're always asking for trouble."

"Are you always picking on me because you have a problem with me?" Hongjige was furious.

"I don't have a problem with you, I mean, everyone here is trash," he said arrogantly.

Although I know you're playing a meme, you've played the annoying manner to the fullest.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xiao Yuan interrupted coldly, "Although I have tried to remain silent along the way, your professional skills make me suspect how you rose to the Saint realm. Can you reduce meaningless nonsense and provide more suggestions that are of reference?"

Tianxia Guihuo, who knew the temperaments of the two, said in a timely manner, "It's useless to ask them about tactics."

He looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, who was the gang leader, and said:

"Gang leader, what are your thoughts on the next action?"

Except for Hongjige, everyone else immediately understood Tianxia Guihuo's intentions.

With a Weak Overlord-level enemy, Yuanshi Tianzun's combat power and props, and the elite nature of this team, passing the level would definitely not be difficult.

But if you want to do it with zero casualties, it can't be solved by "Everyone charge with me."

If you really do that, half of the team members will be lost.

So at this time, the leader's coordination ability and command ability play a crucial role.

The time has come to test Yuanshi Tianzun's ability as a gang leader.

He may be a smart genius, but he may not be a qualified leader.

I'm not Yuanfang, what can I think… Zhang Yuanqing complained silently. If the Five Elements Experience Card had not been handed over to Fu Qingyang for safekeeping, let alone a Weak Overlord, even a proper Overlord, he would be able to fight.

But if the Five Elements Experience Card and Overlord-level props were not handed over to Fu Qingyang, I'm afraid the boss in the Mechanical City would really be Overlord-level. The black-robed wraith just now may have been Weak Overlord-level. Small tricks and means can't exploit the Spiritual Realm bug.

"Any plan requires intelligence as support. We currently know too little about the mech, so the main task next is to collect intelligence. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated," Zhang Yuanqing said with a calm expression, exuding the composure of someone who is planning strategies.

"I have no more Yin corpses," Zhao Cheng隍 said with a gloomy face.

Along the way, he lost three Extraordinary-level Yin corpses, leaving only two level 4 Yin corpses, but these were one of his core strengths, and it would be a waste to use them as cannon fodder.

"Then let's use what's available," Zhang Yuanqing said, "Liu Shui, Xiao Zhao, did you bring materials for refining corpses?"

Zhao Cheng隍 was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I brought a little, not much, enough to refine three Extraordinary-level Yin corpses."

Sun Miaomiao asked in confusion, "Are you calling me?"

"Who else has so much water besides you?" Zhang Yuanqing smiled.

"Don't you dare give people nicknames without permission!" Sun Miaomiao gritted her teeth in anger.

After glaring at him, she said, "I brought a little too, but less than Zhao Cheng隍, at most two."

"We'll refine five, ten Yin corpses, plus Zhao Cheng隍's terracotta soldiers, that's enough cannon fodder," Zhang Yuanqing turned and left, "Let's go back to the valley, there are plenty of Yin corpses there. Although they are missing limbs, we didn't expect them to fight anyway, it's just right to use them as cannon fodder. After we figure out the mech's intelligence, I'll talk about the combat strategy, I have some ideas."

And so, the group returned to the valley. The three Star Officials picked and chose ten Yin objects that were in good condition and barely retained their complete corpses, and gave their teammates a demonstration of on-site corpse refinement techniques.

The differences between the three were clearly and intuitively displayed in front of everyone. Zhang Yuanqing refined five Yin corpses, Zhao Cheng隍 only refined two, and Sun Miaomiao had just finished drawing the corpse refinement formation.

Corpse refinement and spirit refinement formations are different.

After refining the Yin corpses, the group returned to the mountain belly. Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Miaomiao, you lead the way. From now on, write down everything you see, hear, and do, and tell it all to Guan Ya when the exploration is over."

"Guan Ya-jie, you analyze."

Sun Miaomiao and Guan Ya nodded. The former closed her eyes and separated half of her spiritual body to enter the Yin corpse's body, taking control of the body.

Then, she manipulated the broken-armed Yin corpse to walk into the depths of the city.

After about ten minutes, she opened her eyes, "I know the mechanism of Non-aggression, it's like the name, it can't attack the target."

Then, she manipulated the second Yin corpse and walked into the depths of the city.

The group waited in place, but before Sun Miaomiao's second wave of intelligence arrived, the sound of the mechanism moving and the "buzzing" sound of the gears rotating at high speed came from the holes again.

The drone bombing was here again.

With the experience from the last time, the Dead Men's Squad easily eliminated the threat of the bombers.

Sun Miaomiao's second Yin corpse was quickly sacrificed.

"This time I didn't attack it directly, I chose to observe, but it still chopped me down, and I was also affected by Universal Love," Sun Miaomiao said with a sad face.

You were also named on your dad's high-interest loan; your boyfriend cheated on you? Zhang Yuanqing thought with pity, then pondered: "So, not attacking will trigger Universal Love?"

"No, the core mechanism isn't that," Guan Ya shook her head, "Miaomiao, you just said that you didn't attack it directly the second time, so the last time, you attacked it as soon as you met it, right."

Sun Miaomiao nodded.

"When were you affected by Universal Love, the specific time," Guan Ya asked again.

Sun Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "It didn't exceed a minute."

"What about you?" Guan Ya looked at Zhao Cheng隍,

"Several minutes," Zhao Cheng隍 said, and seemed to remember something, adding, "I observed in the shadows of the street for a few minutes without encountering any danger, but after stepping into the Bagua diagram, I was attacked in less than a minute."

Guan Ya nodded with satisfaction, "From the current point of view, both Universal Love and Non-aggression have a time interval. The former is within a minute, and the latter is even shorter. The more precise time requires the two of you to test it."

"We've figured out a 'pattern'..." Everyone's hearts were shaken!
