Chapter 665: Message from the mechanic

The sun's slurry is the pool of magma that Mu You discovered in the Temple of the Ancestors on the top of the mountain of the Crow Tribe before.

At that time, he used the magma to temper the Qilin Arm and the Resurrection Stone, which gave the Qilin Arm the ability to absorb sunlight and store energy.

Since they are the same kind of things, there should be little difference in properties.

Mu You held the Qilin Arm in his right hand, and under the protection of the Qilin Arm, he dipped into the well water again.

Sure enough, this time there was no hint of finger injury. The unicorn arm perfectly isolated the corrosive nature of the moonlight well water.

[As you thrust your right arm in, ripples appeared in the originally calm well water. The moon butterflies in the water were frightened and spread their wings to fly out of the water. They lined up and flew deep into the forest, quickly disappearing from you. in sight. 】

The butterflies that emerged from the body of this creature were originally called 'moon butterflies', and this moon well seemed to be their home. However, at this moment, these butterflies abandoned their 'home' so easily and flew away, indicating that in the forest There may well be more Moonwells deep within.

  【You took out the bluestone from the bottom of the well that was continuously sending out pulse signals. 】

[This bluestone, like other stones under the water, presents a regular dodecahedron. Only on one side is a formation composed of runes carved. The runes are similar to those you have seen in the star spirit world. The alchemical runes are quite similar. 】

  【You got the 'Moon Stone with Information'*1. 】

Moon Stone: A special ore that has a chance of forming where moonlight slurry gathers. It contains abundant natural energy. The energy is mild and the output is stable. It can be used as an energy source for many man-made devices. Automatically absorbs moonlight to charge on moonlit nights. 】

  【A high-quality energy source that can be used by the mechanical heart has been detected. Is it embedded? 】

Mu You was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the stone itself was an energy source that could power the mechanical heart.

Moreover, the natural energy from the moonlight is stored in this stone, which will not be suppressed by the Ring Forest.

 This means that by equipping this stone, you can activate the Black Angel!

"yes!"

  【You bring the bluestone close to the Mechanical Heart, and the bluestone automatically adheres to it, integrating perfectly with the energy interface of the Mechanical Heart. 】

  【Mechanical Heart has gained abundant energy and can link to other armors at any time. 】

 Sure enough! Mu You suddenly understood that the energy source that mechanics once used daily in Gaotian World should be this kind of stone.

 Or to be more precise, the mechanical heart may have been specially made according to the size of this moonstone, so the two fit together like this.

Compared with dragon crystal, this kind of moon stone not only has more versatile energy and higher energy supply efficiency, but also can automatically recharge at night. Unless you stay in the dark place for a long time, it will basically not run out of energy. For the entire set of Origin War Armor , is simply a perfect match of energy.

  【You take out the Black Angel and connect it to the Mechanical Heart. The Black Angel receives energy and automatically disintegrates, with each component fitting into your body in sequence to form a complete armor. 】

  【Warning: The various main weapon materials of the Black Angel are suppressed to varying degrees by the ring forest, and the flying ability and various long-range weapons cannot be used. 】

The Black Angel was successfully activated. Unfortunately, the materials used to make the Black Angel are basically materials produced in the divine world. These components are also suppressed in the ring forest, causing long-range weapons such as gun barrels to malfunction one after another, and their offensive capabilities are reduced. many.

 Fortunately, the armor's basic protective functions and athletic abilities have not been damaged. It is equivalent to an Iron Man suit that can only be used for melee combat. No matter what, it is still stronger than his mortal body.

  【As the assembly of the mechanical heart is completed, the formation runes contained on the moonstone are automatically activated, and a recording sounds in your head. 】

  【"I am a protoss...you can call me 'mechanic'. I came to the Ring Forest to find a way to save my people..."]

["I can clearly feel that this trip is extremely dangerous, so I used moon stones to place some communication bases along the way as a backup. When I return, I will collect these moon stones in turn." 】

"Stranger, since you picked up this moonstone, it means that I am probably dead. I failed and failed to complete my research, but I must pass on my story."]

"Many years ago, when the Gods were at their peak, I was just an ordinary low-level member of the Gods. I had no faith and lived in a haze all day long...until one day, I accidentally broke into the Ring Forest."]

"This is the original forest that has not yet been covered by divinity. According to the truce contract between the gods and the ancestors, the gods cannot set foot in the forest without reason. Once discovered, it will cause a dispute between the two races."]

["I immediately wanted to run away, but I tripped over a moonstone that flew from nowhere. The moment I picked up the moonstone, a moon butterfly lodged on it flew up and penetrated my body. , disappeared into the depths of the Ring Forest. At that moment, I suddenly received some kind of 'apocalypse'..."]

“I don’t know how to explain it. Anyway, from that moment on, I had an idea in my mind: no matter how weak a person is, as long as he has the help of powerful enough tools, he can be as human as a god.”]

“This idea was so strong that my originally hazy thinking suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and I got a lot of fantastic ideas about tools...”]

["After leaving Jie Lin, this enlightenment did not stop. All kinds of ingenuity and wisdom kept popping up like an explosion. I became obsessed with making tools and continued to study on this road, spending tens of thousands of years. , and finally created the brand-new discipline of 'mechanics', and studied to the extreme in twelve directions, creating twelve powerful armors."]

["With the help of twelve armors, I finally succeeded in achieving the vision of that idea: defeating a real **** with a mortal body... Because the place that gave me enlightenment is the place of origin, so I will This batch of armors is named 'Original Armors'."]

["I knew in my heart that there was still room for improvement in the Origin War Armor. However, at that time, I became famous in the Protoss Clan and gained countless followers. I was so satisfied that I gradually forgot about the obsession in my mind. There is no longer any motivation to study, and research has stalled for a time.”]

["It wasn't until some time ago that a crisis of genocide broke out in my race. I realized that the original armor was not enough. I needed to develop a more powerful and universal armor to protect my people from those invisible and evil things. A qualitative parasite."]

  【“I rushed into research, but found that I no longer had the original creativity.”]

   “In the years of fatigue, all my ingenuity and inspiration have been lost.”]

  【“I needed to be enlightened again, so I came to Jie Lin resolutely.”】

["I found a large number of moon butterflies. Just like my last experience, these butterflies penetrated me many times. But this time, I didn't feel any enlightenment. There was only a vague idea in my mind. Medium Formation: Go deep into the Ringing Forest. As long as you reach the deepest part of the Ringing Forest, you will be able to find the answer I want."]

"At this moment, what I felt was not joy, but a kind of panic, because I suddenly realized that this woodland has thoughts, and it is consciously guiding me to do things."]

“Last time, it planted the idea that ‘tools can rival gods’ in my mind, which drove me to study crazily and finally founded mechanics.

But this time, it was rooted in the idea that "the answer can be found deep in the Ring Forest", and it wanted to drive me deep into the Ring Forest. "]    ""I can feel that the purpose of the other party's driving me to do things may not be for the Protoss. Maybe it is a trap... But I have no choice. There is no other way. I can only choose to follow this prompt." ”]

["However, as I forced my way through the first floor, I found that it was not easy to go deep into the ring forest. My armors were greatly weakened here. If I want them to regain their power, there is only one way, and that is to redesign the blueprints. , use local materials in the Ring Forest to replace external materials, so that the transformed armor can normally exert its power in the Ring Forest."]

["But this is destined to be a long process. I need to collect materials along the way and study their properties from scratch. I promised my tribe that I will return in ten years... I don't know if ten years will be enough for me to develop a new mechanical system. , I can only do my best, I hope my compatriots can hold on..."]

  【"The above is the story that happened to me..."】

["Stranger, now that you have obtained the Moon Stone and activated this recording, it means that you have obtained the Heart of Machinery and the Origin Armor. These are my lifelong efforts. In return, I hope you can continue to move forward. Go deep into the ring forest and help me finish the unfinished business."]

["Next, I will use moon stones to set up some communication base points on each floor, and bury my real-time research results and some modified mechanical products there. Finding them will make your journey easier. ”]

"In addition, don't take away all the moon stones in the pool. Leave some as 'seeds' so that new moon stones can be hatched faster in the future."]

 The sound playback stops abruptly.

 Mu You looked at the series of texts that popped up on it, and his face became strange.

He guessed that the Origin Armor might be related to Jie Lin, but he didn’t expect that the mechanic could create the Origin Armor because he received Jie Lin’s ‘apocalypse’.

"Is this forest actually conscious?" This speculation made Mu You think carefully. This meant that he had been under the surveillance of a pair of invisible eyes since he entered the forest, and his every move was watched. It must be clear that everything he encounters along the way may be arranged...

Mu You took a breath, forgetting about these too complicated things for now, the most important thing now is how to get deep into the Ring Forest.

The good news is that the mechanic promised to leave some modified mecha parts for him along the way. As long as these parts can be found and assembled on the Black Angel with the Heart of Machinery, the combat effectiveness of the Black Angel can be greatly increased.

 Next, Mu You used the water from the moon well to temper the Qilin Arm and the Resurrection Stone, both of which were strengthened.

  The recovery time of the Resurrection Stone has been reduced again, and the death penalty has been reduced from 24 hours to 8 hours.

The Kirin Arm, on the other hand, has the ability to absorb moonlight energy storage based on the original one. It also takes ten days to fully charge. When activating the Wind Burial Cannon, you can choose to activate it with moonlight energy or sunlight energy, but not both at the same time. Use, otherwise the energies will cancel each other out.

 In short, the current Kirin Arm can fire two rounds in a short period of time after it is fully charged.

As for the moon stones in the pool, there were a total of six. Mu You took away three, leaving the remaining three as 'seeds' so that they could continue to hatch new moon stones in the pool.

 After doing this, Mu You continued on the road.

  …A jackal that has been lying in wait for a long time on the roadside pounces on you, its sharp claws flashing with cold light, tearing at you. 】

  【Under the protection of Silver Angel's wings, you were unscathed. Black Angel threw the jackal to the ground with a backhand over his shoulder. The green wasp stinger in his right hand penetrated the opponent's throat, killing him with one blow...】

With the help of Black Angel, his combat power has increased dramatically. Now facing the Moon Lion, even without the Wind Burial Cannon, he can try to fight in a one-on-one battle.

Under the double protection of the Black Angel and the Fool's Ancestor Guide, Mu You had a smooth journey, and it took him less than a day to successfully get out of the second level.

  …Stepping into the third level of the Ring Forest, your divine spells and props are further suppressed, and all divine abilities are suppressed by more than 90%. 】

  【Black Angel's combat effectiveness has also been affected to a certain extent, and more parts have failed. Please replace parts that adapt to the environment in time. 】

At the third level, the suppression power has really reached 90%. If he goes to the fourth level, he will completely lose his combat effectiveness. He can only rely on his armor and unicorn arms for the rest of the way.

However, the battle armor is also being further suppressed, and various parts begin to fail continuously. Going deeper, sooner or later, the Black Angel will be completely unable to move. It is no wonder that the mechanics say that they must spend a lot of time to rebuild the battle armor using local materials. First.

 If you don’t do this, it’s impossible to reach the end.

Ignoring this, when he arrived at the third floor, Mu You did not hurry. Instead, he used his character to search around the edge of the third floor, looking for the soul-inducing lamp.

 As a result, the soul-inducing lamp was not found, but the message from the ancestor of the Fool was found first.

  【You found a familiar black spar under a piece of Jie wood. 】

[Pull aside the soil and plants on the spar, and there are some Protoss characters written on the surface of the spar. 】

  【"I am Hohenloa Cummings, surveyor of the 128th Squadron, leaving a message here."]

["While traveling through the second level, we encountered two natural disasters in this forest one after another, and the team was reduced again. Now, there are only two team members left with me, one of whom has been seriously injured and his life hangs on a thread. …”]

"What's even more regrettable is that we lost the materials and supplies we carried in the "Wind of Knife", and we will not be able to build a new soul-inducing lantern in the future..."]

“We have run out of ammunition and food, and we all know in our hearts that we are likely to sleep here forever...”]

  【"Latercomers...if there are still latecomers, remember to be careful of natural disasters in the forest...Be sure to hide in a safe place before the "wind of swords" starts..."]

Mu You's heart sank when he saw this. The fourteen-member expedition team had just walked through the first two floors and had already been reduced to three people. One person was seriously injured and was on the verge of death, and the supplies were exhausted.

 Through the words, Mu You could feel the despair of these three people at this moment. According to this casualty ratio, their hope of survival was slim, and they might have been wiped out on the third floor.

 “Natural disaster?”

Mu You frowned. In this simple woodland environment, are there also weather disasters?

There are several lines further down, all of which are detailed descriptions of what happened to them. According to the text, the reason for their heavy losses this time was two unexpected natural disasters.

There are two types of natural disasters, one is called 'Sword Wind' and the other is called 'Shigure'. The former, as its name suggests, is a strong wind that sweeps away countless crystals and minerals. These crystals are torn into sharp and thin blades by the strong wind. Creatures that are directly exposed to this kind of strong wind are like being subjected to the torture of Lingchi all the time. No matter how strong their vitality is, they cannot withstand this kind of torture.

The latter is even more terrifying. Following the sword wind, there is a 'Rain of Time'. It is said that creatures exposed to the rain will be quickly deprived of the remaining time. Two of the Fool Ancestors escaped from the rain. It was a little later, and his whole body was watered by rain, and his life span was quickly exhausted and he died. (End of chapter)
