456 The melee caused by the active heart
"You don't drink, do you?" the masked man picked up the two glasses of wine that Ice Bear Abyss and Catherine had placed on the table, and without waiting for the two to answer, one cup after another poured into his stomach.
Catherine was a little curious about the identity of the person in front of her, and suddenly saw a red light from the other party's stomach, as if there was a flame burning inside. Sure enough, a hole burned out from the inside, and the red molten steel rushed out of the stomach and flowed all to the ground.
Perhaps because of the pain, the masked man trembled and looked down at the hole in his stomach. He reached into the hole and pulled it hard until most of his arm was in his stomach. A scream of pain emanated from the masked man's mouth, and his arm pulled out of his stomach little by little, and finally pulled out a mechanical heart stained with molten steel. The heart was made up of many delicate gears of size that wriggled rhythmically in his hands.
"Hehe, that's what you're looking for. It's just for you, but you don't want to leave alive. With that, he threw himself forward and collapsed onto the table, still holding the wriggling mechanical heart in his hand.
The Ice Bear Abyss and Catherine looked at each other, and it was a complete coincidence that they found this person. They just think that the members of Screw Alley are easy to deal with.
But now it seems that they have somehow caused a big problem, and the two turned to look, and the other customers in the bar were all surrounding them.
"Are they all here for this heart?" asked Catherine.
"It feels like it. The Ice Bear Abyss grabbed the heart of the machine from the masked man and threw it into the crowd. A slender robotic hound stood in front of the heart in the direction it was flying, and he leaped up and swallowed it with his mouth open.
But as soon as the robot hound hit the ground, it was like a piece of fat falling into the wolves, and the customers around him immediately pounced on him and drowned him.
The melee unfolded in an instant, with various parts, metal limbs flying high. The robot hounds that got the heart were torn apart by several robot puppets in less than a second. But they didn't have time to find the heart, and the guys behind them had rushed up without hesitation, smashing and biting them all the same.
Machine golems with weapons such as iron rods and cutters are undoubtedly the most dangerous guys. None of these guys were close to the center of the chaos, and they all stayed on the periphery and greeted the unlucky ones inside.
The scuffle lasted for nearly ten minutes, and the last thing left on the field was the three cunning "hunters". They were all armed and stood on the outermost side from the very beginning. A two-meter-tall all-metal humanoid robot golem, a bloated robot bear, and a masked helmet with half of his body transformed into a machine. However, the three guys were also injured, the humanoid robot puppet broke an arm, his weapon is his own severed hand, which can be used as a hammer to knock opponents away, the robot bear was cut out of a large hole in its stomach, the black engine oil kept flowing out of the hole, and two thirty-centimeter-long blades stretched out of one of his forelimbs, Catherine saw the robot bear sweep a pure metal robot puppet with one palm, and the cut was very neat; the person wearing the masked helmet did not have a left hand, instead of a serrated knife, his intact leg was unfortunately cut off, and now he found an iron rod to stick in the wound as a supportγ
The three survivors of the scuffle glanced at each other, and suddenly turned their heads together to look at Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss that had started the battle.
Ice Bear Abyss sighed: "It seems that there is still going to be a fight." β
Catherine also sighed: "Obviously it has nothing to do with us. β
The tall all-metal humanoid robot golem roared and rushed towards the two of them first. The Ice Bear Abyss let out a cold snort, and its body met it like lightning.
Two big men of similar size collided together, and with a "bang", the machine puppet flew out upside down, crashing into two metal tables before stopping. The Ice Bear Abyss stood like an iron tower at the point of impact, his body more than twice as large, and the protruding muscles stretched the clothes on his upper body almost to tears.
"Whew-" The wails rang out at the same time, but then stopped abruptly. The robot bear tried to sneak up on Catherine, but it crashed head-on into two frozen snowballs. One of the frozen snowballs froze one of his paws against the ground, and another smashed directly into his head. The robot bear apparently hadn't dealt with ice and snow, and he was overwhelmed by the fact that his entire head was sealed in ice. Shaking his head, he used the unfrozen sole of his foot to flick the ball of his foot that was frozen on the ground, and scratched the frozen ball of his foot hard.
The Ice Bear Abyss looked sideways at the last man with a masked helmet. The masked helmet's gaze swept back and forth between the Ice Bear Abyss and Catherine, and then retreated until he reached the bar where the old wolf was.
The all-metal humanoid robot golem that had been knocked to the ground finally got up from the ground, a large piece of his chest deflated. After just one glance at the situation, he also fled backwards towards the bar.
Although the robot bear has ice cubes wrapped in its head, it also recognizes the situation after panicking. He made the same choice as the other two, and ducked to the bar on three legs.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the body of the Ice Bear Abyss slowly returned to its original state. Catherine stepped forward and rummaged through the stumps, broken parts, and machine wreckage in the middle of the battlefield, quickly pulling out the wriggling heart of the machine. The heart of the machine was firmly grasped by a dark gray metal palm, and it was trying to get out of the palm.
Catherine simply picked up the metal palm. She hadn't looked closely at the machine heart just now, but now that she had taken a closer look, she found that each of the gears that made up the heart was engraved with intricate alchemy patterns.
How skilled would it take to make such a machine heart?
"Why does everyone want this?" Catherine asked aloud, holding the heart of the machine.
"That's the Active Heart, and those who possess it can circumvent the Lord's patrols. The old wolf replied from behind the bar, "I've heard that only the forge 'stone' can make this kind of magical thing. It's a pity that no one knows Shi's true identity. β
"Forge - Stone?" the Ice Bear Abyss walked over to Catherine, his gaze glancing toward the masked man who had dug out the active heart. The table was empty, and the masked man had died by digging out his own heart, but now the wreckage was gone.
"It turns out that we were all deceived by him and actually ran away under our noses. Catherine also glanced back and shook her head, "But this active heart is a good thing. β
"You two. "You must compensate for the loss of the bar, and if it weren't for the trouble you caused, my bar wouldn't be what it is." And there are only a few customers left, and the money for the drink can only be counted on your head. β
