Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Goblin Technology, Shocking the Human Heart
Translator: 549690339
Bai Qi put his hand on the door of the Lamentation Tower, and the door, which was originally covered in flickering ice-blue runes, immediately flipped, identical to the stone door he had encountered on the ninth floor.
He then felt a moment of dizziness, then disappeared from where he stood.
Upon Bai Qi’s disappearance, Yi Yu suddenly asked President Qin, “President Qin, do you think Bai Qi can clear the Tower of Gratitude?”
President Qin shook his head, saying, “Even the Thirteenth Bureau couldn’t clear it, how could our small association in Gusu City possibly do it?” “President Qin, you’re being modest. I actually think that Bai Qi has a good chance.”
Yi Yu smiled, making no attempt to conceal his admiration for Bai Qi, leaving President Qin and Li Xusheng, who was resting at the side, looking on in surprise.
After a moment of spatial disturbance, Bai Qi found himself standing on a red volcano. The environment was much like the eighth floor of the Lamentation Tower.
“Alpha, are you able to handle the three Hellfire Sword Demons that will appear?”
Bai Qi summoned Alpha. Immediately, three holes opened in the red crystal wall above him, and three Hellfire Sword Demons, each holding a red longsword, descended from it.
“Ghoul speak.”
(No problem.)
Alpha nodded confidently, his Ice Sword quickly forming in his hand. A bone-chilling coldness emanated from him, spreading in all directions and dispelling the heat of the volcano.
The Elemental System abilities were indeed useful.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then he summoned the Husky.
Woof, woof, woof!
(What is this hellhole? Why is it so hot!)
The moment the Husky appeared, it was startled by the intense heat. Its instinct was to retreat back into the Beast Control Space.
Despite losing its Ice-based skills, the Husky still preferred colder environments. Being put in a volcanic environment was practically torture. “Quit moping around. You didn’t seem to mind when you played around with explosions.”
Bai Qi shoved the Husky away and pointed toward Alpha, who had already begun to engage the three Hellfire Sword Demons. “Keep an eye out. If Alpha can’t beat them, you go up and help.”
Woof?
(Can’t beat them? Human, are you joking with me?)
The Husky glanced at the energy data displayed on the monitoring device and looked disdainfully at Bai Qi.
[Name]: Ice Shadow Swordsman (Alpha)
[Race]: Ice Clan, Undead Department
[Growth Level]: First Stage Seven Level Defining
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Racial skills]: Bone-breaking Reformation (Perfect), Steel Skeleton (Perfect), Ice Sword Slash (Proficient), Shadow Lotus Skill (Proficient), Ice Armor (Proficient)
[Energy Value]: 11000
[Condition]: Evolvable
Even though Alpha was only at First Stage-Seven Level, its energy value was close to that of a Second Stage. You want me to help out? How rude?
And besides, who wants to help this moronic bonehead?
The Husky cast a glance at Alpha, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, yawned out of boredom, and started fiddling with his mechanical guidebook. Fighting was too boring, and only boneheads like Alpha, who lacked a brain, enjoyed it. Studying art was much more interesting.
Seeing the Husky’s attitude, Bai Qi could only shake his head helplessly, but he didn’t make a fuss about it.
While they were bantering, Alpha had completely taken control of the pace of the battle. The flaming swords of the three Hellfire Sword Demons had been mostly covered in ice, severely diminishing their firepower.
“Alpha, finish this quickly.”
Ghoul speak.
Alpha nodded, and with a swing of Frost Sorrow, he beheaded the Hellfire Sword Demons. He then picked up a red crystal that had appeared on the ground and returned to Bai Qi’s side.
[Name]: Fire Soul Crystal
[Description]: A product formed after a soul is roasted by flames.
Is this it?
Because it’s not the first time, they gave me this thing?
Is customer service here? Could you please change it to a Soul Stone for me, thanks.
Bai Qi looked somewhat disgustedly at the Fire Soul Crystal in his hand and casually tossed it to the Husky.
Awo?
(What is this thing, can it explode?)
The Husky deftly caught the Fire Soul Crystal and, after a brief examination, became interested.
However, at this time, the teleportation circle to the next level also gradually appeared. The Husky didn’t have time to study it carefully, and was dragged by Bai Qi into the next level.
The second floor was still very hot, but it wasn’t a volcanic scenario, rather it resembled a medieval central European castle.
If you replaced the magma in the moat with a river.
“Why does it feel like Ironforge? Are the owners of these two towers dwarfs?” Bai Qi suspiciously looked at his surroundings, while Alpha was the first to detect something wrong and ceaselessly roared at a wall covered with runes.” Boom!
An oddly shaped humanoid mech burst from the wall and immediately launched an attack on Bai Qi.
What the hell, why is this level attacking the Beast Master?
Looking at Alpha standing in front of him, Bai Qj immediately put some distance between himself and the mech. At the same time, he patted the Husky’s head, asking, “Got any intel?”
So as not to waste the Husky’s sensing abilities, Bai Qi placed the monster guide that President Qin gave him on the Husky, making it easy for it to investigate.
Woof woof!
(Almost there, don’t rush me.)
The Husky was hopping up and down, and its half digital eye scanned the humanoid mech continuously. It quickly obtained specific data.
[Name]: Rune Puppet – I
[Race]: Mechanical Engineering Department?
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade Elite
[Description]: An ancient mechanical puppet, abilities and attributes unknown A Rune Puppet?
Seems Li Xusheng mentioned it when he came out. Is this the thing he mentioned?
Looking at the Rune Puppet in front of him, with arms of varying thickness and lengths, he even had a large chimney on his back, Bai Qi suddenly became interested.
Although the mechanical department only became popular in the Beast Control system in recent decades, Automatons had been passed down for a long time. Some similar creations existed in several large countries before the founding of the Federation.
However, these had basically all been lost. Now that I’ve come across a complete one, I naturally want to study it carefully.
“Alpha, be careful not to damage it.”
Woof woof! Woof woof!
(Dumb bone, go easy on it.)
Both the man and the dog showed great interest in the Rune Puppet, causing Alpha, who was originally prepared for a big fight, to suddenly become somewhat restrained.
Giggling….
Seeming to sense Alpha’s unease, the attack of the Rune Puppet suddenly became more fierce. A large circular saw appeared on the Rune Puppet’s right arm, spinning toward Alpha.
Seeing this, Alpha immediately released several streams of frost to block, but they were all easily cut in half by the circular saw. Just as the Rune Puppet was about to reach Alpha, the Puppet’s movements suddenly froze, and the arm holding the saw suddenly exploded.
Did it explode by itself?
Could it be that the owner of this place isn’t a dwarf, but a goblin?!
