Acai's Sky

Chapter 972 Ancient God Remains: Meteorite Mine 3

From deep within the mine came the shrill sound of gears turning, like a sleeping beast being awakened.

A dim green searchlight cut through the dust and fog, and six heavily armored mechanical puppets appeared with heavy steps.

The iron axes they held were taller than humans, the axe blades glowing with a cold blue light, the surface of their armor was covered with mysterious runes, and every step they took caused the ground to tremble.

Tong Jiayuan took the lead, the compound bow hummed, and three energy arrows shot towards the puppet like lightning.

However, the moment the arrow struck the armor, only a string of sparks flew, leaving a few white marks on the thick alloy surface. "Their armor is made of meteorite alloy!"

His voice was filled with shock, "Normal attacks can't break through the defense!"

The Mohist Gongshu Yu turned the wheel of the crossbow, the gears made a clicking sound, and the arrow instantly deformed.

The original three-edged arrowhead blossomed into a rotating drill, with booster flames spurting out from the tail.

"Armor-breaking mode activated!"

As the bowstring vibrated, the drill arrow shot out like an arrow, spinning at high speed and piercing into the puppet's shoulder.

Amidst the sharp sound of metal friction, a hole as big as a bowl was drilled into the armor, revealing the intertwined gears and flickering energy core inside.

Ah Da waved the magnetic hook rope, and the suction cup at the end of the chain emitted a blue light and accurately attached to the puppet's knee joint.

He growled, tensed his muscles, and pulled hard with the help of the mechanical arm.

The puppet's huge body lost its balance and fell to the ground with a loud bang, causing spider-web-like cracks to appear on the ground.

Ah Er took the opportunity to take out a fragment of mysterious energy. The patterns on the surface of the fragment resonated with the runes on the puppet's armor, releasing a dark purple pulse wave.

The puppet's movements suddenly became slow, and white smoke emerged from its joints.

Acai seized the opportunity and slashed at the puppet's neck with his long sword wrapped in golden runes.

The talisman was used as a chain to wrap around the joints, and with a roar, the mechanical head soared into the sky.

Tong Jiayuan's arrow followed closely behind, accurately shooting at the exposed energy core. The violent explosion blew the puppet into pieces.

Other Moists also activated their mechanical weapons. Mo Shiqi's chain blade wrapped around the puppet's arm, and Mo Jiu's flamethrower ignited its internal circuits. The mine was suddenly engulfed in flames, and metal debris fell like raindrops.

When the last puppet disintegrated in the explosion, everyone was sweating profusely.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, and the ground was littered with smoking parts.

Ah Cai looked at the passage extending deep into the mine, where stronger energy fluctuations were coming from, and the vibrations of the Mechanical Heart became more rapid.

On the damp rock wall, the moss glowed a strange purple in the dim light. The footsteps of the crowd echoed deep in the mine, and every step seemed to be stepping on one's own heartbeat.

After a long trek, the gravel underfoot was gradually replaced by black crystals, and the air became sticky and oppressive, as if an invisible hand was strangling everyone's throat.

After turning the last corner, the mine suddenly opened up. In the darkness, a huge figure was looming - it was the remains of the legendary ancient god, like a collapsed mountain range stretching before the eyes.

The remains of the ancient god emitted a strange light that was a mixture of dark blue and dark red. Every flicker was accompanied by a low humming sound, as if it was the dying gasp of an ancient giant beast.

It was surrounded by thick black fog, and countless distorted faces were faintly emerging from the fog. They were baring their fangs and claws, and making shrill wails. The sound was like steel needles, piercing everyone's eardrums.

Ah Cai's mechanical heart vibrated violently, issuing a sharp warning sound. Golden runes circulated around her body, forming a thin protective barrier.

"Be careful, the remains of the ancient god are releasing illusions, everyone stay awake!"

As soon as Ah Cai finished speaking, Mozhe Mo Shiqi suddenly froze in place, his eyes became empty and dull, as if his soul had been taken away.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand and mechanically turned towards Mozhe Mo Jiu beside him, the tip of the sword flashing with a cold light.

Mo Jiu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively raised his sword to block. The sound of metal clashing was particularly harsh in the silent mine.

"Mo Shiqi, wake up!" Mo Jiu's roar was filled with anxiety and worry.

At the critical moment, Tong Jiayuan had already drawn his bow and arrow, with silver-white purifying energy flowing on the surface of the arrow.

As the bowstring vibrated, the arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor and accurately hit Mo Shiqi's shoulder.

The purifying energy spread along his meridians, Mo Shiqi's whole body trembled violently, and the haze in his eyes receded like a tide.

He stumbled back a few steps, his forehead covered in sweat. "Just now it felt like a force penetrated my head and took control of my body. That was a close call!"

Ah Cai raised the Mechanical Heart, and the soft light illuminated the surrounding darkness, but was swallowed up the moment it touched the black mist.

She made a quick decision: "We'll divide the work. Tong Jiayuan and Mozhe Xu Ruo will be responsible for dispelling the fog. Mozhe Gao Shizi and A Da will protect everyone from the hallucinations. The rest of you will follow me to attack the core of the ancient god's wreckage!"

Tong Jiayuan's compound bow hummed continuously, and arrows shuttled through the mist like silver snakes, with each arrow tail dragging a long purifying light band.

Wherever the arrows went, the black mist emitted a sharp hissing sound and dissipated like ice and snow burned by the scorching sun.

Mozhe Xu Ruo's mechanism box unfolded into a huge disc, with countless tiny pipes protruding from it, spraying out white purifying mist.

The two types of mist collided violently in the air, bursting into dazzling light, like an epic duel between light and darkness.

The mechanical shield of Mozhe Gao Shizi shone brightly, and the blue light turned into a huge hemispherical barrier, covering everyone.

Fine ripples appeared on the surface of the barrier, and every time an illusionary attack came, it would cause ripples.

Ada waved the magnetic grappling hook and looked around vigilantly, ready to pull his companions who were controlled by hallucinations back to the safe area at any time.

Acai led everyone to charge towards the remains of the ancient god, and the black crystals under their feet began to crack under the heavy pressure.

However, when they were still ten feet away from the remains of the ancient god, the huge figure that had been still suddenly moved.

The remains of the ancient god extended dozens of tentacles covered with spikes, like a group of awakened giant pythons, tearing through the air and rushing towards everyone.

Wherever the tentacles passed, the space began to distort and deep pits were smashed into the ground.

Ah Er's body was nimble, like a fish swimming through the gaps between the tentacles. He raised the modified sprayer, pressed the valve, and the corrosive liquid sprayed out like a fountain.

The moment the liquid touched the tentacles, a hissing sound erupted, bursts of white smoke rose, and large charred holes were corroded on the tentacles.

Mohist Gongshu Yu's crossbow spun wildly, and armor-piercing arrows poured out like a rainstorm. The drill bits of the arrows rotated at high speed, easily penetrating the tough skin of the tentacles, and then exploded, blowing the entire tentacle into pieces of meat.

Acai's long sword was wrapped in golden runes, drawing brilliant tracks in the darkness.

Every time the sword struck a tentacle, the runes transformed into chains to bind it, then exploded with a loud bang.

The mechanical heart beat violently in her arms, light and sword energy blending into a golden torrent that rushed towards the core of the ancient god's remains...
