Chapter 966: Rusted Core: Gear Rhapsody 1
Above Youmengfang, dark red mist was like solidified blood, weighing heavily on this strange place.
Ah Cai stood in the clouds, with mysterious golden runes flowing around her body, like the ancient motto of the gods, looming in the mist, sacred and majestic.
She gently waved her jade hand, and countless restrictions fell down like ancient chains, carrying supreme pressure, enclosing the area where the blood evil force was most turbulent.
The trapped blood demons frantically formed hideous faces and let out earth-shaking roars, their voices filled with unwillingness and anger.
However, the moment they touched the ban, they dissipated into specks of blood like morning dew meeting the scorching sun, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air.
In order to create more actual combat opportunities for the Tang Dynasty generals, Acai deliberately retained some of the blood evils on the periphery, allowing them to engage in fierce battles with the Chinese players.
"Generals, do not be soft-hearted!" Ah Cai's voice resounded throughout the battlefield like a bell, firm and powerful. "This is a great opportunity for you to improve your strength!"
On the battlefield
Tang general Qin Qiong held two maces in his hands, his eyes wide open. Every time he swung his mace, he brought up a fierce gust of wind. Wherever the mace shadow passed, the bloody evil spirits retreated.
Tang general Yuchi Gong wielded a water-ground steel whip, and the shadows of the whip were heavy, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, smashing all the bloody evil spirits that rushed towards him.
The three axes of Tang general Cheng Zhijie were powerful and every time they fell, it was like thunder, and the blood and evil were dispersed wherever they went.
They became braver as the battle went on, and their equipment was constantly upgraded through the baptism of battle. Every confrontation with the Blood Demon gave them a deeper understanding of their own strength.
Time passed quietly in the fierce battle. The seven-day shopping spree was also a seven-day bloody battle.
[Ding, the player has successfully spent seven days in Youmengfang. The reward has been issued: Youmengfang Pass*1. Every year, the player can use the pass to shop at Youmengfang for seven days!]
[Ding, congratulations to the player for gaining 50 experience points, 20 gold coins, and 3000 temple crystal coins]
The moment the system prompt sounded in Ah Cai's mind, she immediately pinched the magic formula and activated the summons again.
A brilliant light burst out from her palm, like a rising sun, enveloping all the Chinese military players.
"This training ends here, fellow players, see you again in the future!" A Cai said loudly.
In the flash of light, the figures of the Chinese military players disappeared one by one on the battlefield of Youmengfang, leaving only the empty field and the gradually dissipating bloody smell.
After everyone left, A Cai looked at the empty battlefield and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She knew that after this experience, the strength of the Chinese military had increased significantly, and her own Tang Dynasty legions had also been generally upgraded. After all, this experience was enough for them to reach level 20.
The Youmengfang pass was her greatest gain on this trip, and she could come here every year from now on!
"What kind of excitement will it be next time?" Ah Cai murmured to himself, his figure slowly dissipating in the clouds, leaving only a silent battlefield, waiting for the next carnival and battle.
Acai stroked the patterns on the Youmengfang pass with her fingertips, and the sea breeze with a salty smell blew through her hair.
She looked up at her island—a broken continent suspended in the void. Countless balls of light floated among the broken walls like fireflies, each ball of light wrapped in fragments shrouded in gray mist, as if sealing the secrets of different worlds.
This time she didn't hesitate for too long, and reached out to point at a cluster of gray light that flickered in the shadows.
The ball of light suddenly expanded and turned into a vortex that swallowed her. The sharp sound of metal friction instantly filled her eardrums, as if it was a call from another world.
When Ah Cai opened her eyes again, the rusty red sky was hanging low, as if a huge piece of rusty iron was pressing on her head.
Tiny pieces of gear debris floated in the air, each emitting a cold blue light, like strange stars twinkling in the night sky.
[Ding, welcome players to the Rusted Core (3573) Gear Rhapsody]
[Ding, player mission, explore the rust core area]
[Ding, the player triggers the hidden exploration mission: Repair the perpetual motion core]
[World Background Loading - This was once the workshop of the Mechanical God. Due to a core runaway, time and space have rusted, and all mechanical creations have fallen into madness. Current Danger Level: High. Group exploration recommended.]
Ah Cai lowered his head to check his equipment and found that fine rust spots had begun to seep out of the surface of his weapons, as if they had been mercilessly eroded by time.
She quickly summoned a protective barrier and glanced across the distance: a maze of giant gears was slowly turning, and purple sparks flew from the meshing of the gears, like the flashing eyes of a demon;
The broken mechanical arm was wrapped in glowing vines, and the knuckles were still clutching half a metal plate engraved with runes, as if telling of its former glory;
From further away came the roar of a gear set running out of control, accompanied by an eerie whistle-like melody that was chilling.
"interesting."
Ah Cai's fingertips slid across the task panel floating in mid-air, and suddenly her pupils shrank slightly. A bright red warning flashed in the lower right corner of the panel, marked "High Danger!"
Just as she was about to use her spiritual sense to investigate, the ground suddenly shook violently, and countless bronze gears broke out of the ground, quickly forming a giant humanoid statue.
A scarlet light flashed in the hollow eye sockets of the giant, and its arms instantly turned into chainsaws, slashing down with a bloody wind!
Ah Cai teleported sideways, and the chainsaw brushed past the edge of his clothes, plowing a bottomless gully on the ground and raising dust.
She threw out three talismans with her backhand, and the talismans turned into chains in the air and wrapped around the joints of the colossus, but she saw a second mechanical face cracking at the neck of the colossus, and the corrosive liquid sprayed out instantly dissolved the talismans, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.
At the same time, the hum of high-speed gears came from the distance, and three more identical mechanical giants rushed out from the depths of the maze, surrounding her in the center, forming an airtight encirclement.
"It seems that we need to not only repair the core," Ah Cai held the long sword across his chest, the blade emitting a flowing golden light, "but also clean up these out-of-control guards first."
Just as she was about to launch an attack, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from the shadows of the gear maze on the left. Immediately afterwards, an arrow engraved with strange patterns flew past her ear and accurately pierced the joints of the mechanical giant, triggering a series of violent explosions.
In the light of the explosion, Acai quickly summoned out Tong Jiayuan and other mechanical people.
Tong Jiayuan was wearing dark silver leather armor and had a peculiarly shaped compound bow slung across his back. The tail of the arrow was wrapped with a faint blue energy light band, which looked particularly mysterious under the reflection of the fire.
He landed with a lightness of cat-like grace, his voice teasing beneath his mask: "Finally, we've arrived at a fragment of the plane related to our mechanical race!"
Ah Cai raised an eyebrow, turned the sword, and green sword energy cut through the air like a green lightning: "Let's solve the current trouble first!"
