Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 585 - 417
The tyrannical mechanical monsters didn’t care about anything as they rushed near the mechanical platform, immediately activating various destruction modes.
The entire mechanical platform was torn into countless fragments by them, scattering on the ground, signifying their once existence.
"Tsk tsk, haven’t obtained any valuable intelligence from levels four and five, yet we’ve already lost almost a hundred Tier Four Transformers.
Grey Wolf, dispatch the micro Insect Detectors directly inside to figure out what’s in there that’s attracting the Bear Cubs.
Once it’s figured out and the location is determined, we can decide on the next course of action."
Rushing into the fifth underground level directly is obviously not feasible.
After all, the Tier Nine mechanical monsters on this fourth level of the Steel Maze haven’t even started moving yet.
A dozen or so of these things in the not-so-large fourth level maze will definitely lead to a fierce battle if we attempt to pass through their domain.
Knowing there’s certain danger in the underground Steel Maze now, Mo Qingchen is unwilling to let his Guardian Beast take the risk.
It can be said that currently, the only ones in his possession capable of taking down these Tier Nine mechanical monsters are the merged Chaos Divine Beast, Edward, and Kasi.
The underground maze was constructed by aliens, indeed a structure of an Interstellar Civilization, the technology level is imaginable.
Even though the Chaos Divine Beast possesses immense power, reaching Epic King-level upon eruption, its essence remains a Digimon, a special electronic life form generated from countless virtual data.
The unique magnetic field within the underground maze can implant viruses into the Transformers, clearly indicating a data invasion, who knows if it could affect the Chaos Divine Beast’s underlying database?
Mo Qingchen is not willing to take such a risk at all.
As for Edward and Kasi, they are fundamentally soul bodies, just extremely special ones.
However, the red mist that covers the globe can cause any living being to undergo mutations, it’s uncertain if it will affect them.
Moreover, the fourth layer is not large, relatively narrow, warfare in such a place definitely restricts Edward and Kasi greatly.
Breaking through this layer’s defense in a short time is likely impossible, any unexpected situation could be unpredictable by then.
The main point is that Grey Wolf verified that this underground Steel Maze is still functioning properly, and the enemy can still maneuver those mechanical monsters within the maze.
This suggests that there’s definitely a secret hidden in the deepest fifth level, maybe even some surviving aliens, who knows!
"Boss, hold on a moment, I’ll deploy all the micro detectors from the spacecraft right away."
Grey Wolf didn’t hesitate, immediately beginning the operation.
A swarm of insect-type detectors flew out from the opened hatch beneath the spacecraft, swarming into the blasted passage. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
These Insect Detectors moved extremely fast, shooting like lightning in the passage blasted open leading directly to the bottom.
Meanwhile, numerous images appeared on the Spacecraft’s display screen, though processed, only useful ones were presented to Mo Qingchen and the others.
In just a dozen minutes, a large batch of Insect Detectors descended the underground fourth level.
Upon reaching here, some Insect Detectors dispersed, probing into the fourth level Steel Maze.
One by one, Tier Nine mechanical monsters appeared on the screen’s projection.
These mechanical monsters were each colossal, at least over twenty meters tall, enmeshed in metal and circuitry, looking utterly monstrous and particularly fearsome.
However, from their shapes, it was evident that these mechanical monsters were Exotic Beasts that had been modified.
Especially since there was among them one of those deformed dwarf machines Mo Qingchen and the others were most familiar with, albeit magnified several times over.
But currently, a dozen various types of mechanical monsters were all in a dormant state, seeming like cold metal mechanisms, without a trace of life essence.
"The mechanical monsters collected here might be mutated Exotic Beasts from outside altered after the red mist descended."
Looking at a wild boar that appeared magnified by more than a dozen times from the outside, were it not for its entirely metal shell with patches of rust, Mo Qingchen would have thought it was a genuine mutated wild boar.
If one were to put a synthetic skin on it, you wouldn’t necessarily notice it was a remodeled mechanical monster.
"Boss, all these mechanical monsters are dormant; except for some energy operating in their Energy Cores, their whole mechanisms are stagnant with no energy circulation."
Grey Wolf controlled some Insect Robots, crawling into their metallic seams, probing inside the mechanisms to discover various data.
"Seems like the other party cannot detect the invasion by Insect Robots, which is good."
Nodding his head, Mo Qingchen glanced at another screen displaying images sent back by the Insect Robots that penetrated the fifth level.
However, compared to the previous four levels, this transmitted image now exhibited some snowy specks.
"There’s a greatly powerful interference field on the fifth level, affecting the Insect Detectors’ image transmission."
Even though the image wasn’t clear, at times accompanied by snowflakes, still, numerous items were visible.
The entire fifth level was a massive research laboratory, equipped with various apparatus, most still in operation, emitting faint luminescence.
"Grey Wolf, locate the database to try and infiltrate, pay attention to whether there are any surviving aliens as well."
The Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm is indeed the ruin of an Interstellar-level alien civilization.
Reaching the accomplishments of an interstellar civilization, could it truly prevent some aliens from surviving?
As for the aliens on the planet being abandoned by their race, not all could be done for, perhaps some hidden individuals are lurking in the shadows, observing everything, who knows.
"Boss, there’s no discovery of normal life forms, but several operational robots have been found; their energy levels are not very high, between Tier One and Tier Three."
In a short time, the Insect Detectors spread across the entire fifth-level laboratory, even within buried ducts, Insect Detectors appeared.
"Try having the Insect Detectors infiltrate those robots to see if we can gain control over them."
Evidently, these operational robots must have been left by the aliens.
"The infiltration is underway, but it requires some time, also, we’ve found the database, infiltrating now, although the firewall is extremely strong."
Grey Wolf watched the quick scrolling of data on the screen, an enigmatic glow flickering through his wolf eyes, knitting his brows.
Observing everything, Mo Qingchen immediately noticed Grey Wolf’s anomaly.
"Grey Wolf, what’s the matter? Is there a problem discovered?"
"Boss, the infiltrated database is exceedingly large; it even rivals the database of the Spacecraft. Moreover, I noticed an unknown signal attempting to penetrate the Spacecraft’s program!"
As Grey Wolf spoke, his wolf paws waved countless afterimages, frantically tapping on the virtual keyboard.
"Be careful, if it’s not resistible, disconnect the signal at once!"
Mo Qingchen surely didn’t want to encounter any issues, especially with the Spacecraft, which is one of his major trump cards.
If the other party gained control, that would be real trouble.
"Rest assured, Boss, I’m not just messing around now! Plus, I’ve discovered something very intriguing."
A streak of excitement appeared on Grey Wolf’s face.
His facial expression grew increasingly excited as he operated the virtual keyboard furiously.
"Ha... these aliens, in order to survive, have indeed transferred their consciousness into the server, transforming themselves into electronic life forms, ha ha..."
Grey Wolf burst into laughter while observing the data captured by the Spacecraft, all the while starting to analyze various data from the other party’s profiles.
Joining forces with the Spacecraft’s super-intelligent program, Grey Wolf quickly captured a dozen electronic life forms, promptly setting up electronic cages for them and beginning to extract various data from them.
