Chapter 62: Rune Puppet
Huh?
(Which Taoist friend is here to survive the tribulation?)
Seeing the rune puppet suddenly explode, Husky's eyes lit up and he wanted to rush up to study it, but an ice wall rose in front of Husky and blocked it.
Crunch.
(This is my enemy!)
Alpha stood in front of the Husky and looked at the rune puppet that fell to the ground due to the explosion of the circular saw. Without any hesitation, he launched an attack.
I’ll kill you while you’re sick!
Moreover, this guy is far from being sick!
Sure enough, when Alpha launched another attack, the circular saw that was originally blown away by the aftermath of the explosion suddenly flew back and caught the rune puppet again.
Can we still play like this?
This technology seems to have some flavor of mechanical reconstruction.
Bai Qi became more curious after seeing this, and Alpha's ice sword also fell on the rune puppet.
Thick frost continued to spread along Alpha's ice sword. Although the rune puppet was still cutting continuously, it could not keep up with the speed of the frost covering it, and its movement was slowly restricted.
Bai Qi’s request was to restrict actions, and Alpha naturally carried it out to the end.
Clank, clank.
However, just when Alpha was about to completely control the Rune Puppet, the Rune Puppet's eyes suddenly turned red, and a huge cannon barrel suddenly emerged from the puppet's chest. A stream of hot energy slowly gathered towards the center, and even the ice on the surface of the body began to melt.
"Alpha, take care of it first."
Seeing the rune puppet suddenly explode, Bai Qi no longer had the mood to leisurely play around, and directly ordered Alpha to solve it.
Crunch.
Alpha received the order and raised the giant sword high, and icy blades whizzed out.
As his proficiency in Ice Sword Slash gradually improved, Alpha could already control the shape of the frost attack. It was no longer the rough ice flowers at the beginning. This attack method was learned from Han Wei's Wind Wolf.
So far, it seems that the effect is good, and the rune puppet is directly chopped into pieces.
Without the cover of external mechanisms, a hollow metal block appeared inside the rune puppet, and in the center of the block was a fiery red crystal inlaid.
Fire Soul Crystal?
This thing can actually be used as energy?
Bai Qi looked at the Fire Soul Crystal at the core of the Rune Puppet with some surprise. Just as he was about to ask Alpha to pick up the core, runes appeared on the core. The same was true on the fragments of the mecha that were chopped off by Alpha. Like the circular saw before, they all flew back towards the core.
In just a few moments, the rune machine was reassembled.
Can it repair itself? Is ancient technology so powerful?
Bai Qi's face changed, and he suddenly understood why Li Xusheng, a third-level half-blood beastmaster, could not defeat the rune puppet.
It seems like he was worked to death?
"Alpha, attack its core."
Bai Qi gave Alpha new instructions again, and Alpha immediately understood and used the Ice Sword Slash again. While the Rune Machine swung the circular saw to defend, the giant cannon on its chest continued to shoot out balls of red energy to attack Alpha.
However, Alpha's attack frequency was obviously much higher than that of the Rune Puppet, and it was soon dismembered again, exposing its core.
This time, Alpha did not give the opponent a chance to reorganize. His dark blue body suddenly sank into the shadows, turning into a shadow lotus that pierced directly into the core. The runes that were originally shining with dazzling light were eroded by the power of shadow and immediately melted away.
After the core was shattered, the other parts also exploded one after another, leaving Bai Qi no chance to study them.
The owner of this secret tower is quite stingy.
Bai Qi complained silently, picked up a piece of red metal on the ground and started looking at it.
【Name】：Red Flame Iron
[Introduction]: Metals born in high temperature environments have a strong ability to absorb flames.
This is not bad. You can make some attribute-restraining items.
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction and asked Alpha to freeze the Red Flame Iron and throw it to the Husky. Looking at the teleportation array emerging in the distance, Bai Qi did not rush to the next level, but took the broken core from Alpha and studied it.
It seems that due to the erosion , the core where energy should have gathered was preserved.
Bai Qi roughly checked the core and did not find anything like a circuit. The energy of the Fire Soul Crystal seemed to be transmitted out of thin air.
"It's a pity that the runes on it are destroyed, otherwise we could have seen the specific situation."
Bai Qi sighed with some regret, then looked at Husky and asked, "Did you record anything just now?"
Woof woof!
(Do you think my height is enough to pass through this ice wall?)
The Husky rolled his eyes in annoyance, looking at the ice wall in front of him that was just taller than him, full of resentment.
"Forget it. The next level should still be rune puppets. Alpha, remember to use Shadow Lotus to control them."
Bai Qi threw away the discarded puppet core in his hand and walked towards the next level with his two pets.
…
Under the Tower of Lamentations.
Li Xusheng, who had finally recovered his strength, stood up and was about to continue to challenge the level when he was stopped by Yi Yu.
"Don't worry, let's see if he can pass."
Yi Yu pointed to the fifth rune that was gradually lighting up on the gate and said with a smile, "President Qin, the Beast Tamer Association has a lot of talented people recently. A second-level Beast Tamer can actually make it to the fifth level."
"Just luck."
President Qin curled his lips and said, "I also investigated it later. This tower seems to be a product of the French Emperor period. After all, rune puppets and mechanical systems are somewhat similar."
"True, but Bai Qi is also quite powerful."
Yi Yu nodded and was about to say something when a huge skeleton dragon fell from the sky and landed in front of the Tower of Lamentations.
And on top of the skeleton dragon, a baby-faced boy was sitting upright.
"Skeleton dragon? You are Bai Qiucha, the son of He Guang? Why didn't your father come?"
President Qin took a few looks at the giant skeleton dragon and immediately recognized the identity of the person.
Bai Qiucha put away the skeleton dragon and walked to President Qin. She bowed to him and said, "My father has left Gusu City for some urgent matters. I may need you to take care of him from now on."
"Forget about taking care of me. With your father's status, no one dares to bully you."
President Qin smiled and said, "By the way, what are you doing here today?"
Bai Qiucha pointed at the Tower of Lamentations and said, "Before my father left, he assigned me a task to clear this secret tower ."
"So that's how it is."
President Qin nodded, looked at Yi Yu who was standing beside him, and said, "Minister Yi, can we have one more person?"
Although the Thirteenth Bureau only asked for three days of priority exploration rights, that was only for Bai Qi. According to convention, the Thirteenth Bureau had exclusive exploration rights within this month.
Yi Yu smiled and said, "The son of Minghuang Legend, of course it's possible."
"Xusheng, you come in too."
Li Xusheng nodded, glanced at Bai Qiucha, turned and walked towards the entrance, while Bai Qiucha frowned and followed him.
