Chapter 120: Meeting the [Blood Duke] again! (Please vote! Please subscribe!)
The alloy spear was like a giant python, instantly piercing the sea water and arriving in front of the [City Protector].
After removing the cumbersome metal shell of [Heavy Lancer] and entering the second stage, Shane's strength and speed have soared to extremely exaggerated levels.
Roughly estimated, individual attributes may have soared to over 60!
This is pure brute force, without any skills!
Facing such an astonishing spear, the [City Protector] did not dare to neglect at all, and the remaining fifteen giant mechanical hands immediately launched attacks from all angles.
Some intercepted them from the front, while others crushed them from above.
Some wielded metal blades, while others fired pitch-black shells from the barrels.
In fact, the most proud thing about [City Protector] is its powerful firepower system.
If it is above the sea, it can carry dozens of firearms and artillery at the same time, forming a dense and cross-fired network.
Ordinary second-level mystics cannot get close at all.
Unfortunately, in this deep and dark sea water, the power of gunpowder weapons has been greatly reduced, and conventional guns and artillery cannot be used at all.
Then, the only thing left of [City Protector] now is its extraordinary strength and defense.
But at this time, Xia En is superior to these two attributes!
Boom!
The giant mechanical hand blocking the spear was easily penetrated, and a large number of gears and parts burst out from the wound.
Xia En's figure did not stop, he let go of the spear, stepped hard on the giant mechanical hand coming from beside him, and used the recoil to avoid the mechanical arm pressing down from above.
At the same time, the distance between him and [City Protector] is approaching again!
[City Protector] was surprised at first, then laughed sarcastically: "Without weapons, you still want to hurt me?"
"Weapons?"
Shane smiled cheerfully and raised his right fist.
“My body is the best weapon!”
Bang! ! !
Xia En's right fist landed on the outer shell of [Fortress Protector], causing an impact like a bomb explosion.
A fierce undercurrent surges in this carriage.
On the metal fortress, a clearly visible fist mark suddenly appeared, and it was slightly sunken downwards.
The steam core of [City Protector] seemed to pause for a beat.
Is this intruder crazy? He actually dares to fight against steel with flesh and blood?
And it seems like he can really do it! ?
“Isn’t one punch enough?”
"Then...one more punch!"
Then, Xia En began to punch the shell of [Fortress Protector] one punch after another.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fists fell like a violent storm.
Heavy and exaggerated power was introduced into the body of [City Protector].
"I am a warrior blessed by [Lord of Rust], how could I lose to a little bug like you..."
[City Protector] let out an unwilling roar, and all the mechanical giants that can still move They moved their hands together in an attempt to block Xia En's attack.
However, when Xia En approached its door, the outcome was already doomed.
With just one round of heavy punches, the core area of [City Protector] was smashed to pieces, and the dark red flames inside were extinguished.
【Ship Soul Experience +5%! 】
After absorbing the [Secret Sea Crystal], Xia En vaguely heard the roar of the mechanical puppets moving behind him.
So, he didn't dare to stop at all and quickly rushed into the door of the power room.
Then lock it back to buy some time.
As soon as you enter the power room, you can obviously feel that the temperature of the surrounding water has increased a lot.
The reason lies in the numerous mechanical puppets lying flat inside and the steam pipes extending from their bodies.
It is they who serve as the source of power for this [Snake of the Atrium].
The question now is...
"Where is Caesar IX?"
Xia En looked around.
In this power room, there are at least hundreds of coffin-like containers on display. It is obviously unrealistic to find them one by one.
Just when Xia En was a little worried.
From a corner of the power room, a tired voice suddenly came out.
"Child, are you here to find me?"
Xia En looked around and found a weird mechanical puppet sitting in the corner.
It has no limbs, and only has a thin head on its incomplete chest.
There is a strange dark golden mark between the eyebrows of the head.
Jack once said to Shane that this is the unique mark of every Caesar.
“Are you Caesar IX?”
Shane asked.
The broken mechanical puppet said lightly: "To be honest, I prefer my former name to Caesar."
"You can call me...Jeffrey."
Xia En didn't care what his name was. He cut off the shackles around him and said, "I'm here to take you away."
However, Jeffrey’s reaction was somewhat beyond Shane’s expectation.
"Take me away? Why?"
"Oh, I see, you want to use Caesar's name again to resist [The Rusty Lord], right?"
Jeffrey smiled sadly and said: "Yes, I was promoted and supported by you in the past, and I ended up where I am now."
Xia En frowned and was about to adopt the second plan.
But at this time, Jeffrey continued: "Young man, I know what you are thinking."
"This should also be the fate of every generation of Caesars."
"But before that, can I say a few more words?"
After hesitating for a moment, Shane decided to give Caesar IX a decent death.
“Thank you, stranger.”
After thanking you, Jeffrey said slowly with some reminiscence in his tone.
“Actually, before I got Caesar’s memory, I was just an ordinary person. I was very timid and had no outstanding skills. I just lived in confusion in this rusted steel jungle.”
“But on that day, a miracle happened.” “A mark unique to Caesar appeared on my body, and those memories of the past began to emerge in my mind.”
“I became positive, optimistic, and charming!”
“And those promising people gathered around me and called me ‘Caesar IX’. A very wonderful experience, so beautiful that it feels like a dream.”
Speaking of this, Jeffrey sighed.
“However, the longer it took for me to obtain the brand, the memories of Caesar’s middle age and old age flooded into my mind, and I couldn’t help but have some thoughts.”
"Am I the Caesar who borrowed his corpse to return to life, or the Jeffrey who gained a memory?"
"I can't tell, I really can't tell!"
"I was disgusted at the same time In my past, I was enjoying the benefits of being a Caesar."
"At this time, I also took on the responsibility of resisting [The Rust King]. He is a very terrifying and powerful enemy. Even in Caesar's memory, there is still fear of him."
"Rather than saying that I resisted him voluntarily, it is better to say that the residents of this city forced me to resist."
"And the result...you have seen it."
"Actually, after saying so much, I only have one question..."
Jeffrey looked at Xia En, as if expecting He can give an answer.
“Why me?”
Shane walked towards Jeffrey silently.
This is destined to be a question without an answer, and perhaps what Jeffrey wants is just a silent listener.
After Xia En cut off the head of this desperate man.
Many mechanical puppets broke into the power room and drowned him like a tide.
……
……
The next day.
Xia En came to the black spire in the [Copper and Iron Zone].
There, he met Jack's informant.
After the announcement, Jack came to Shane, his eyes full of surprise, and he sighed.
“Hey man, you are too efficient.”
"I have heard what happened yesterday from other people in the city. They said that a black shadow caused a great disturbance in the [Snake of the Atrium], and even the [City Protector] dismantled one."
< br>Speaking of this, Jack reminded again: "You have to be careful in the future."
"[The Lord of Rust] is very vindictive. If you cause such a big trouble, you will be discovered in the future." It will lead to his encirclement and suppression."
Xia En smiled and said nothing. With the experience of [Blood Moon Secret Realm], he has a lot of experience in being wanted.
Then he took out Jeffrey's head.
"Sure enough..."
Jack's tone dropped slightly, but he was not surprised, and he took out a larger metal container.
"I also brought the [Youjin] as promised, and there are some other metals, please check carefully."
Xia En glanced at it, and a few lines appeared in front of his eyes. Word.
【Mithril】
[Quality: Precious]
[Type: Material]
[Description: Silver containing secret power. 】
【Can be used to cast magic equipment and enhance magic affinity. 】
【It is also an excellent casting material. 】
......
[Black Steel]
[Quality: Rare]
[Type: Material]
[Description: Steel forged from special materials , black in color and very strong in nature. 】
[Suitable for forging into blade-type weapons. 】
In addition to these two metals, there are also many good metal materials.
Even if it is not used, it can be fed to [Gluttony Steam Turbine] as a snack.
I have to say that Jack is also an honest man. These rare metals are very valuable, especially [Black Steel], which is more than enough to forge one or two pieces of armor.
Using these metal materials, it might be possible to update the crew's equipment.
After counting, Xia En showed a satisfied smile.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
Jack nodded and said: "Well, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate next time."
Not long after.
Xia En asked the crew to go to sea and collect all these precious metals in case of emergency.
However, these trophies have just been collected.
Xia En was just planning to kill some more monsters.
On the deck of the [Black Swan], a rapid and continuous alarm bell suddenly sounded.
Xia En immediately released his submersible state, rushed out of the captain's cabin and came to the deck.
As a lookout, Joey reported immediately.
"Report Captain! A large sailing ship appeared in the southwest!"
"There are several escort ships following!"
Hearing this, Xia En looked to the northwest.
On the sea with sharp towers, a three-masted sailboat with a scarlet paint on its hull was leading several escort ships, approaching in a mighty manner!
And the rose-bottomed sail made Joey's voice tremble a little.
"That's... the [Blood Duke]!"
