As the chanical key refreshed, the inner walls of the chanical Maze suddenly emitted an intensive sound of gears turning. Imdiately afterwards, parts of the massive green-gray walls abruptly caved inwards, and one by one, bizarre-looking chanical beasts erged from these colossal walls.
It was as if a child was being born from a mother’s womb.
These should be the "chanical Beasts" ntioned in the competition rules, one of the inherent dangers of the maze.
There are mainly two types of "chanical Beasts": one resembling a giant lizard, known as the Earth Dragon chanism Beast, capable of spitting fire, with swift speed and combat power ranging from Transcendent 3-tier to Transcendent 6-tier.
The other type is the Minotaur chanical Beast, standing around 3 ters tall, wielding an ancient rustic stone axe in its hand, its entire body covered in silvery-gray armor, revealing only a pair of bull horns. They are virtually impervious to blades and bullets, their defensive power astonishing.
The Minotaur chanical Beasts possess a combat power above Transcendent 6-tier, though their numbers are few, with only three appearing in the maze at this stage.
However, these fellows have a strong pursuit capability, ferociously chasing Spirit Masters upon sight, making them extrely difficult to shake off.
"Are all these chanical Beasts created by the chanical Maze?"
Observing the appearance of the chanical Beasts, Chen Mo couldn’t help but ask.
"That’s correct, the chanical Maze is also a military factory, capable of assembling a small-scale chanical army in a short ti. It plays the role of a large war machine in the Cyberos Civilization."
Master She spoke, having a good understanding of the chanical Maze.
The Cyberos Civilization is an ancient civilization in the Spirit Realm, a Spirit Master civilization primarily based on chanical Spirit Beasts, whose technological level far surpasses that of Blue Planet.
According to the annals found in the Cyberos Relics, the Cyberos people once created mythical-level chanical Spirit Beasts. But for so unknown reason, this civilization disappeared in the historical river of the Spirit Realm, until over 200 years ago when the relics were discovered by Spirit Masters from Blue Planet.
"I am determined to beco a chanic! Entry handbook, give so points!"
Hearing She Lei’s description, Chen Mo couldn’t help but daydream.
Giant chs and chanical armies—what boy could refuse such a temptation?!
Waiting for the entry handbook to refresh an entry for chanical Apprentice, then step by step upgrading, eventually crafting a giant ch with his own hands!
Maybe next month, the wish of the Wish-making White Fox could be used here.
"Chiu!"
The Blazing Fla Fox’s voice interrupted Chen Mo’s reverie.
At this mont, the "Assassins" entered the fray.
Chen Mo’s attention returned to the competition.
The Spiritual Beasts of the "Assassins" are generally at Transcendent 8th or Transcendent 9th Rank, often more than one, vastly differing from civilians.
However, they do not have the maze map, so most "Assassins" rely on their intuition to charge straight ahead in a chosen direction.
Yet, Chen Mo still noticed an extraordinary "Big Brother" taking an unconventional path.
His two Spiritual Beasts are respectively a Transcendent 9th Rank Rosy Finch and Fiery Fla Demon Ape.
The Rosy Finch soared into the sky, reaching the maze’s upper airspace in the blink of an eye. From its high-altitude vantage point, it had a clear view of the entire maze.
Shortly, the Rosy Finch spotted not far away a scouting lark, a Spiritual Beast from the "civilians."
"Chirp!!!"
After a shout, dozens of scarlet Fla Arrows converged before the Rosy Finch, transforming into a rain of arrows swiftly targeting the lark.
The lark also sensed the Rosy Finch’s attack imdiately, flapping its wings to dive downwards, intending to use tall walls for cover.
But it was already too late.
The Fla Arrow rain was too fast, with one arrow directly hitting one of its wings, turning into blazing flas, shooting it down to the ground.
The lark’s Spirit Master turned pale as well. Originally, he had successfully obtained the chanical key by relying on his vantage point, but he was eliminated the next second.
After defeating the lark from a distance, the Rosy Finch hovered mid-air, constantly transmitting intelligence to its Spirit Master through telepathy.
Subsequently, Chen Mo saw this Spirit Master’s other Spiritual Beast, the Fiery Fla Demon Ape, ignite in golden flas, these flas roiling upwards, as tall as 5 or 6 ters.
The high-level fire technique, Blaze Surge, a reinforcent technique, could increase the temperature of the flas and the power of fire techniques.
Boom!
After the reinforcent, the Fiery Fla Demon Ape punched the "stone wall" directly, which was surprisingly blasted open with a hole, and then the Fiery Fla Demon Ape and its Spirit Master swiftly squeezed through.
The ability to punch through the stone wall wasn’t because the Overlord Level Spiritual Beasts or the chanical Maze’s defensive power was weak, but the preliminary competition’s settings.
An attack of Commander Stage strength could crush the "stone wall" of the Transcendent group.
After the "stone wall" was blasted apart, it would restore itself within 5 seconds.
"These two Spiritual Beasts’ strength is comparable to Commander First Rank Spiritual Beasts, very strong."
Chen Mo clicked on this contestant’s information on the tablet.
Disciple of the Fla Dragon Daoist School, Bai Ze.
"Turns out to be a disciple of an A-rank Daoist School, no wonder his strength is so outrageous."
Across Dongxia, there are only about 10 A-rank Daoist Schools, and the Fla Dragon Daoist School is the strongest among all the fire-type Daoist Schools, with each generation’s master being a Crown Spirit Master owning an Overlord Level Spiritual Beast.
"Chiu!"
Xiao Jiu’s eyes showed a trace of seriousness.
A formidable opponent.
The Fiery Fla Demon Ape rampaged around without obstruction, easily locating and defeating three civilian’s Spiritual Beasts.
However, Bai Ze did not choose to leave, continuing to hunt.
In the preliminaries, contestants advancing can earn 10 points, while "Assassins" gain 1 point for every "civilian" they "hunt." For him, this was a golden opportunity to farm points.
"It’s tough being a civilian card."
Chen Mo couldn’t help but sigh.
Apart from the threat of assassins, the maze itself was teeming with dangers.
Poisonous vines, ground collapses, falling rocks, chanical Beasts...
In less than 20 minutes, over 60 civilians had already been eliminated.
But excluding Bai Ze, there was only one assassin that advanced, and most civilians were defeated by the maze’s chanical Beasts.
Soon enough, the assassins also began to panic.
Because half an hour later, every 10 minutes, assassins advancing would need to "hunt" an additional civilian.
Ti flew by, and after an hour, the first match concluded.
In the end, only 8 people advanced.
Including 6 assassins and 2 civilians.
The preliminary competition lasted 1 hour, after which all contestants still inside the maze would be eliminated.
The surrounding audience enthusiastically chanted the nas of the advancing contestants, creating an exceptionally fervent atmosphere.
The number of online viewers on various platforms totaled in the tens of millions! And these figures weren’t inflated.
Chen Mo and others continued to watch the competition.
In subsequent matches, there were contestants displaying impressive strength.
For example, in the second match, there was a contestant in a Daoist robe, whose Spiritual Beast was a pure white crane. Soaring into the sky, its feathers transford into swords, swiftly "harvesting" the civilian contestants’ Spiritual Beasts.
In the fourth match, a "civilian" appeared as a Frog Knight, riding a Vortex Frog larger than a human, traversing the maze’s stone walls at an incredible speed, leaving a trail of dust for the assassins and chanical Beasts behind.
There was also a Spirit Master of the Quenching Blade Spirit, holding a flaming blade of 7 or 8 ters, slashing recklessly.
Undead Masters, Dragon Knights...
In short, geniuses gathered, all manner of strange beings erged.
Chen Mo felt like the chanical Maze was nearly being played to pieces by this group.
