I Don’t Even Know What You’re Talking About_1 “I…
guess?” Francis’s voice quivered slightly, but he still offered an answer.
If even such a miraculous creation doesn’t count as a [Relic], then what is worthy of being called a [Relic]?
“So we’ve completed our task!
Give us the item now!” Shuihua, satisfied with the answer, eagerly stretched out her hand to Francis.
...
“Huh?” Francis was startled.
“What’s wrong?
You tasked us with finding a relic in chanism City, we’ve found it and even brought it out of the city to deliver to you.
Are you not going to honor our agreent?”
Shuihua argued with righteous indignation.
The poor chanism Technique Master, looking at his ho, which had been leveled to the ground, was left speechless.
He stubbornly shook his head in refusal: “No, you must subdue this behemoth first.”
“If we subdue it, you will give us the item?”
Francis nodded, fearing who knows what would happen if he didn’t agree…
“That’s what you said!” Shuihua, afraid he would go back on his word, imdiately turned and returned to Victoria and Lance.
“Call for reinforcents!”
“Huh?” Victoria and Lance were sowhat surprised.
“Are we really going to fight?
This thing seems impossible to defeat.”
“Yeah, its sweeping tail could probably destroy half of the market, we wouldn’t even be able to scratch it.”
“But it is a [Relic]!
If we defeat it, we can complete our task.”
“Isn’t there any other easier to get relic…” Victoria was a bit deflated, “Didn’t they say there are many kinds in chanism City?”
As soon as she saw this behemoth, she couldn’t help but recall the previous fight with the black-haired zombies, where several districts got destroyed before they finally managed to kill it off.
This chanical Giant Serpent looming before them was probably hundreds of tis larger than the black-haired zombies, its body hardly showing any wood at all.
What could be seen outside was all tal, signalling its hardness.
How on earth were they supposed to fight this?
However, Lance reminded them: “Now that the underground tunnel has collapsed, it’s unclear whether the [Direct Express] can still be used, and…”
He looked at the chanical Giant Serpent wreaking havoc in the market, where the buildings were crushed and pushed over like cardboard boxes, dust and smoke rising from the rubble.
The nurous NPCs were running away in panic.
“And we can’t just leave it unchecked.”
Victoria glanced at the Giant Serpent, then at the destruction it had caused.
With a resigned sigh, she admitted: “That seems true… alright, let’s continue to call for reinforcents.
We certainly don’t have enough forces now.”
“Should we invite a thousand first?” Shuihua loved the hustle and bustle.
Lance was efficient in granting permission to mobilize more players.
Thus, the player count in Chang’an City began to surge!
The players who weren’t selected for the explosive team instantly answered the call, bringing their gear and eagerly rushing in to battle this colossal creature.
The last ti they had fought an opponent of this magnitude was when they battled the Molten Mountain Dragon and Phase Willow.
It had been a while and their hands were itching for a fight!
At one point, the sounds of Pipa, flute, hand drum, gong, Suona, and triangle iron echoed one after another!
The crowd all turned to see and imdiately recognized several familiar figures—
[Digital Reserve Team] – striking a coback!
Victoria weakly placed a hand to her forehead, “How did these morons co back again…”
Even though Victoria was slightly exasperated, the players on site cheered at the band’s arrival, welcoming them warmly.
But the growing crowd eventually attracted the attention of the chanical Giant Serpent.
It stopped demolishing the wooden houses and lunged towards the players nearby!
The battle officially comnced!
The remaining loads of gunpowder barrels were ignited and launched at the chanical Giant Serpent.
The oil was splashed around liberally, and other players endlessly shot out their clockwork guns.
The braver of them rushed at the Giant Serpent with their swords, trying to destroy the connection parts in its segnted body in an attempt to disassemble and demolish it.
Not only were the players fighting, Quchi Alley was closely adjacent to the southern city wall of Chang’an.
The city’s defenders detected the abnormal situation imdiately.
The wall’s outward-facing crossbows were turned inwards, towards the Giant Serpent in the city.
The assembled army charged fearlessly at it.
Players NPC army vs.
chanical Giant Serpent!
Without any transition, the battle reached its climax in an instant.
Even chanism Technique Master Francis, donning a suit of chanism armor from seemingly nowhere, transford into Tang Dynasty’s Iron Man and bravely charged to the forefront.
Even though he couldn’t withstand the direct attacks of the chanical Giant Serpent, it couldn’t crush him either, essentially playing the role of half a at shield (MT).
Only Shuihua wasn’t quick to launch an attack.
ƝονǤᴑ.сօ
She stayed on the outskirts, idle, occasionally releasing an arrow before she sidled up to the band, getting close to the band’s only girl, Vanessa.
Last ti Vanessa, with her beautiful dress, playing the Guzheng, ended up in a big ss.
Now she wisely wore a simple, unassuming traditional costu.
She was holding a homade triangle iron and knocked it from ti to ti, just like Shuihua, enjoying her leisure ti.
When Shuihua approached, Vanessa was mumbling to herself: “One more way to destroy Chang’an has been added.”
Shuihua couldn’t help but laugh.
She was in on the joke.
[Black-haired Zombie] infecting all the NPCs in the entire city was one way, [Wooden Puppet Crisis] preparing a large amount of wood and carpenter’s tools for the wooden man in advance was another.
Now with the addition of the chanical Giant Serpent, it indeed made for another thod to eradicate Chang’an.
She asked Vanessa casually: “Do you know how to defeat this BOSS?”
Her question was not without basis.
The Digital Reserve Team were insiders of Yunng, they might know sothing about this colossal beast, right?
—— Mostly because her best friend, Camille Victoria, was too busy to respond to her, otherwise, she would have asked the princess.
Vanessa stared at Shuihua, blinking unconsciously.
She does know so stuff.
Their departnt was in charge of the “sci-fi” the developnt, and during the design of chanism City, they took the ti to visit and learn about the chanical Giant Serpent…But…
“The correct way to fight this thing is to infiltrate its body without awakening it and destroy it from within until the destruction process triggers its awakening,” she said.
“As you guys have fully awakened this BOSS, I really don’t know what to do…”
Although she did know a bit—
They say ‘to kill a snake, hit it in the weakest point,’ the ‘seven inches,’ is precisely the core of the chanical Giant Serpent, attacking it there, even without entering the serpent body, is much more effective than attacking anywhere else.”
But she was a staff mber, how could she ruin the players’ ga experiences?
Shuihua didn’t quite believe her, but they weren’t familiar with each other anyway, so she didn’t say much and continued to shoot arrows from her bow, contributing to the damage output.
The roar of gunpowder barrels, the heat of flas, the screams of NPCs, the furious roars of players, the crashing of buildings…
Both in terms of ambiance and atmosphere, this battle surpassed the previous one against the Black Zombie.
And of course, this kind of effort and sacrifice won’t be in vain.
After several hundred NPCs and players had died,‌ finally, the body of the chanical Giant Serpent broke!
The turning point of the battle had arrived.
The offensive ability of the chanical Giant Serpent sharply plunged, and the morale of players greatly boosted, full of energy for action.
One after another, the connecting devices were destroyed, the body of the chanical Giant Serpent grew shorter, and its movent ability and attack range consistently shrunk until finally, even its head was separated from its body, collapsing on the ground like a dead snake.
A dazzling white light descended, bathing all the players, and beautifully crafted achievent trophies began to take form.
Shuihua held her second diamond achievent trophy of the day.
Achievent Na: [Weakness?
I have no idea what you’re talking about]
The caption on the base of the trophy read: [It will never have the chance to beco a spirit anymore…]
Looking at the achievent na and the caption, Shuihua felt like both were full of quirks.
But she didn’t have ti to complain about it, Francis had already walked over to the section of the body connected to the head and removed his helt.
Shuihua hurried over.
Victoria and Lance had been fighting side by side with Francis, and were already waiting ahead.
They saw Francis operate sothing at the breakage site of the body section and then suddenly open a “door” to walk into it!
The three of them hurriedly followed him in.
As soon as Shuihua entered in, she saw Francis deftly remove a bronze box, or should we say…
a bronze brick?
It was a rectangular bronze object with nurous interfaces on top as well as delicate, multi-layered, and extrely complicated transmission structures, which would make anyone dizzy just looking at it once.
“What is this?” asked Victoria, unable not to ask.
“A relic, a secret stash, a true key, the pri masterpiece of chanism Art!” Francis replied with a fanatic look on his face.
Seeing the three of them looking puzzled, he collected himself and said, “Of course, it also has a more common na: chanical Core.”
“Oh~” The three of them suddenly realized.
The chanism Art version of the microchip, got it.
Francis was about to explain further, but the three of them weren’t interested in listening.
Shuihua promptly held out her hand,”hand it over.”
This left Francis slightly uncomfortable, but he still straightforwardly handed over the reward.
[Life Card]: Follow the blood imprint, find the person who stored the blood.
[chanical Box]: A mysterious box.
Even a master of chanism Art was unable to discern its function.
Shuihua accepted the items and passed them to Lance — as this world belonged to him after all, and asked, “Such a huge chanical Giant Serpent, there’s only one core?”
Francis shook his head, “There should be more.”
So, the three of them hurriedly left the inside of the serpent and mobilized everyone present to help look for cores.
In the end, they astonishingly found five cores, designated as [Relics] by the system, as well as a bronze box hidden in the head of the chanical Giant Serpent.
In the box was a book and a brass key.
“What kind of key is this?” Shuihua curiously examined the key she held in her hand.
[The Opening Key’]: Control the sky, control the victory!
Not understanding, Shuihua shook her head and handed it to Victoria for further examination.
She didn’t know that at this mont, on the Yellow Canal outside Chang’an city, the water surface in a rectangular area suddenly began to tremble.
A bronze platform rose, slowly opening amid the screeching of tal and gears.
The thin layer of water resting on the platform trickled down as it opened.
And a clockwork airship over eighty ters long began to rise slowly!
It wasn’t until half a minute later, when the airship had risen high enough, that it was noticed by the players in the city.
Victoria watched the thing in the sky dazedly, asking subconsciously, “What is that?”
It’s not Shuihua who answers this ti, but Lance:
“Our transportation to Luoyang.”
