The red eyes in the alley suddenly raised their thick-backed knives and pointed them at the sky, then slowly lowered them and aimed their heads at the Ice Bear Abyss.

Catherine was stunned and said, "Is he challenging you?"

"Hmm. The Ice Bear Abyss did not hesitate, and suddenly jumped off the roof. Catherine didn't even have time to stop him.

The barbarian warrior of yesteryear, now the shaman of Mount Kinabalu, raises his thick-backed sword to his chest in a gesture that accepts the challenge.

The humanoid machine golem's eyes flashed red, and it rushed towards the Ice Bear Abyss, slashing it down.

The Ice Bear Abyss swung its knife to block it, and the two knives struck each other, making a muffled sound of "dang". The two thick-backed knives held each other in the air, but the humanoid robot puppet only held the knife in one hand, and the Ice Bear Abyss held the knife in both hands. It didn't take long for the Ice Bear Abyss to roar angrily, swing away the opponent's blade with force, quickly take a step back, and make a defensive posture.

The humanoid machine puppet slashed down again, still with one hand.

The alley is so narrow that there's no room for manoeuvre. In the face of this knife, the Ice Bear Abyss could only resist head-on. "When" the two knives exchanged blows for the second time, the barbarian, who had always had amazing brute strength, could not hold the thick-backed knife in his hand, and had to take two steps back.

This retreat has completely lost the initiative.

Before the Ice Bear Abyss could stand firm, the third slash slashed in front of him. "When" the third time the two knives were exchanged, the ice bear abyss hurriedly raised the knife, and a huge force came, and his hands were weak, and he could no longer hold the knife handle.

With a "clang", the thick-backed knife fell to the ground.

Ice Bear Abyss's face turned pale. The battle happened too quickly, and he lost too quickly. From the other party's challenge to the time he jumped off the roof to connect the three knives, it was less than a minute, but the result was something that the old barbarian could not have imagined anyway.

The red-eyed robot golem rested the knife on the shoulder of the Ice Bear Abyss and looked up at Catherine, who was still standing on the roof.

The female mage squeezed the hammer in her hand, but that was all. Even a barbarian known for her melee combat could match it, and she, a mage who could not use magic, was naturally no match for her.

At the moment when the thick-backed knife of the Ice Bear Abyss landed, Catherine had the idea of turning around and running away. But the thought was only fleeting, and she still stood still. After all, the Ice Bear Abyss is now his partner, and the two of them are adventuring together in the anchor world of this unknown and powerful existence, which can be said to be a shared adversity.

Moreover, the old barbarian also confessed his purpose, and the two resolved the unnecessary misunderstanding. Of course, taking a step back, even if she turned around and fled, in the current situation, Catherine expected that it would be difficult for her to move alone in Gear City.

Since the humanoid machine puppet has only subdued the Ice Bear Abyss, there is probably still room for communication. Catherine figured it all out, let go of her hand and threw the hammer into the alley.

Presumably Catherine's behavior was unexpected, and the red light in the eyes of the humanoid machine puppet flashed several times in succession. I saw that he turned his head to the Ice Bear Abyss and didn't know what to say, and the old barbarian actually nodded.

Under Catherine's bewildered gaze, the humanoid robot golem turned around and walked to the lair deep in the alley, where it vanished.

"You come down first. The Ice Bear Abyss walked under Catherine and motioned for the mage to jump down.

Catherine paused for a second and then jumped down, and the old savage caught her steadily. When Catherine stood firm, she immediately let go of the hand that was holding her waist.

"You know what that red-eyed said to me?" Ice Bear Abyss walked over to the thick-backed knife and bent down to pick it up.

"What did you say?" Catherine had long been curious.

"He wants us to go into the lair. The Ice Bear Abyss raised the thick-backed knife with three small notches on the blade, "He said that we can not go, but there is still one day at most, and if we don't accept the transformation, we will be discovered by the city lord." ”

"He knows about transformation?" Catherine couldn't suppress the shock in her heart, "He's the old wrench?"

"I don't think so. The Ice Bear Abyss frowned and said, "In such a big city, the old wrench shouldn't be so easy for us to meet, but obviously it's not just the old wrench who knows about soul transformation." By the way, he speaks the language of your Eastern Continent. ”

"The language of the Eastern Continent. Catherine opened her mouth, "He's an alien soul too. ”

"I think it's not just him, there should be a lot of foreign souls in this anchor world. ”

"You mean the red-eyed robot puppet?" Catherine immediately thought of a lot of possibilities.

"At least part of it is, and it is, the soul that has been transformed. Ice Bear Abyss nodded, "I'm going to ask him again." ”

"Aren't you afraid that if you enter the lair, he will be against us?" Catherine said with a dumb smile, "Look at my stupidity, if he wants to deal with us, he can do it just now." ”

"Anyway, let's go check first, in case of danger, we still have this. "The ice bear abyss turned his hand, and the chess piece of life was held in the palm of his hand.

Catherine understood what he meant, and that the chess of life could inspire the enchantment world to besiege the enemy, which was a good backhand. However, Catherine also knew that the Ice Bear Abyss took out the chess pieces of life just to cheer up the two. Not to mention that the humanoid machine puppet itself is extraordinary, there must be his subordinates in the lair, and if he really wants to fight, most of them will be defeated.

The Ice Bear Abyss walked ahead, holding a broad-bladed thick-backed knife in his right hand and holding the chess piece of life in his left hand. Catherine followed him half a step, hammer in her arms, and the only soul magic - soul roar - was ready. In case of an accident, she will do whatever it takes to cast a spell.

The entrance to the lair is a half-circular door more than a meter wide below a hundred-meter-tall steel building. The color of the guard door was apparently forced to cut a gap in the exterior wall of the building and installed it temporarily. The steel building is the tallest building in the alley, and the façade alone takes up almost half the length of the alley.

Catherine felt like a rat sneaking into the palace through a hole in the wall of the palace's backyard as she followed the ice bear abyss into the mouth. I'm afraid this is a secret place.

After entering the door, there is the appearance of a storeroom, with a very high roof, three or four meters. It was inlaid with a small lamp that emitted white light, but the light was not good, and it only gave a general view of what was going on in the storeroom.

At first glance, the warehouse was deliberately cleaned up, and sundries, steel frames, iron boxes, steel buckets, etc. were moved to the edge of the warehouse wall. In this way, there is about a space in the middle of the warehouse that can accommodate hundreds of people.

Catherine saw the humanoid robot golem at a glance, and next to him sat a huge robot puppet that could be three meters tall even when sitting.

This robot puppet has a round body, although it can distinguish hands and feet, it is difficult to describe in human form, and it has no head.
