From the skill information of these armored individuals, Li Hai suddenly understood.
It turned out that even the lowest-tier armored individuals.
Their physical strength, power, and defense were no weaker than a Martial Artist in the Steel Tendons Iron Bones realm.
In fact, in terms of attack and destructive methods, they were even superior.
This could be seen from the particle cannons, high-frequency swords, bio-missiles, and various laser cannons listed in the personal interface information of those two low-tier armored individuals.
It could be said that under normal circumstances, an ordinary Jing Dynasty Steel Grade Martial Artist or a Martial World Innate Maniac would simply be unable to defeat this type of bio-engineered human.
And above the low-tier armored individuals, there were also mid-tier and high-tier armored individuals.
These two could be equated with Innate Heroes and Innate Legends, respectively.
At the same time, their offensive methods would be even more powerful and explosive.
As for higher levels, Li Hai was temporarily unaware.
In summary, this evolution System of armored individuals, at first glance, seemed extremely comprehensive and convenient; there was no need for any Cultivation, as long as one integrated a Giant God Unit, they could instantly upgrade and become a formidable expert.
However, this did not mean that this type of armored individual had no weaknesses.
On the contrary, their weaknesses were very obvious.
That is - the powerful strength of all armored individuals was based on the powered armor they wore, or rather, the powered armor they had integrated.
Once there was any problem with this armor, the strength of these armored individuals would plummet, even reverting to their original state.
Furthermore, Li Hai discovered in the personal interface information of those two armored individuals, more precisely, in the skill information named 'Low-Tier Giant God Unit' within their personal interfaces, that the most important core of the Mystic Gu Workshop's armored individuals was precisely this so-called Giant God Unit.
Therefore, as long as this unit was lost, no matter how powerful the armored individual was, even if they were as powerful as an Innate Legend, they would still quickly fall to the Mortal level, and would then enter the tragic situation of having not long to live.
Because the essence of the Giant God Unit was a strange parasitic species with super-strong proliferation and mutation capabilities.
Using it for drastic physical modification would inevitably cause a series of serious effects on the body, and most of these effects would tend to be negative.
When the Giant God Unit continuously existed within the body, these effects would not bother the armored individual in their non-human mutated state, simply because the vast and distorted life force would cover everything.
But once the Giant God Unit had a problem, or inexplicably died, or suddenly disappeared, then the various negative problems that had always existed within the armored individual's body would collectively erupt, rapidly dragging them into a state of death.
Therefore, unless one had a System that could cheat, it was better for ordinary commoners to honestly practice Cultivation; never touch those strange external objects, otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died in the end.
With a faint buzzing sound, the two Mystic Gu Workshop patrol armored individuals slowly flew above the cliff where Li Hai was located.
However, due to the dense bushes and vegetation on this cliff, these two armored individuals did not immediately discover the presence of Li Hai and the Dao Ge Four.
But just as these two individuals circled around and were about to fly to other areas for patrol, two chilling, pale beams of light shot out from the dense bushes below, precisely hitting them.
Crack, crack—With a faint freezing sound, these two armored individuals, instantly coated with a layer of icy white, stiffly fell onto the grass at the top of the cliff, and were then carried by Dao Ge, one in each armpit, and brought before the quietly seated Li Hai.
Li Hai didn't waste any words; he immediately reached out, pierced through their hard chitinous shells, and delved into their bodies, forcefully pulling out two irregular black tumor-like objects, each only the size of a billiard ball—the Giant God Units—along with blood and flesh.
Consequently, these two armored individuals, whose physical strength was equivalent to that of an Innate Maniac, immediately began to tremble violently and convulse wildly.
And amidst the trembling and convulsions, various biological weapons and equipment in and on their bodies rapidly atrophied and necrotized, turning into various fragile and useless glands and organ tissues.
If these tissues were not precisely removed, they would cancerous into various malignant tumors within a few days, causing these two individuals to die in agonizing pain, crying and wailing as if in Hell.
At the same time, the personal interface information and overall physical features of these two armored individuals also rapidly changed visibly.
Within a few seconds, they reverted to Mortals, and furthermore, they were critically ill patients with a hideous bloody hole in their lower back and various signs of cancer throughout their bodies.
Facing this situation, Li Hai sighed with compassion, and immediately and resolutely stuffed the Heart-Piercing Hundred Revolutions Pill and the Half-Dead Must Die Pill into the mouths of these two unfortunate brothers.
The former could enhance the experience of pain, while the latter could greatly stimulate or even exhaust life potential, ensuring that the vitality of the severely wounded and dying could be stably extended for half an hour.
Subsequently, Li Hai began to interrogate these two former armored individuals with severe torture:
"Where is your Sect Leader of the Mystic Gu Workshop?"
The two woke up in a daze and said, "Who are you? Ah ah ah ah ah it hurts!"
"Wrong answer."
Li Hai shook his head, "Pfft, I forgot, I forgot you still have a rotten hole in your body, sigh~ What a headache."
After scratching his head, he instructed Dao Ge to cover their mouths, then shifted his thoughts to the Guiyou Cave Heaven and began rummaging through the medicine box, looking for suitable poisons for these two.
After searching for a while, he found two pills with a similar truth serum effect, and hundreds of powerful painkillers, all of which he stuffed into their mouths.
A few seconds later, the two no longer howled in pain, but instead stared blankly and continuously frothed at the mouth.
Li Hai didn't know what the ill effects would be after mixing so many medicines, and of course, he didn't care.
In short, while the two were still alive, he quickly interrogated them with brief questions.
And after a brief interrogation, Li Hai gradually learned a lot of intelligence about the Mystic Gu Workshop.
Firstly, the Mystic Gu Workshop did not have a so-called Sect Leader, but only eight Workshop Masters.
Normally, all matters, big and small, of the entire Mystic Gu Workshop were discussed and handled by the eight Workshop Masters.
Then there was the location of these eight Workshop Masters - not within the Mystic Gu Workshop itself, but in the deep caves beneath it.
As for what was inside these caves, these two individuals had no idea, only knowing that it was three thousand zhang deep from the surface.
In his conversation with them, Li Hai learned that these two had lived in the Mystic Gu Workshop since childhood,
and were basically ignorant of all information about the outside world.
At the same time, in the cognition of these two, the Giant God Unit they integrated was not a product of high-tech bio-engineering, but rather Gu worm eggs waiting to hatch.
