Chapter 95: The Curse from the Rib Skull (Part 2 End)
"The nerve graft is complete, and the nerve current is working properly!"
"The 'Xiandong Engine' ignition starts! Countdown, three, two, one! Ignition! โ
"The 'Xiandong Engine' has been ignited and the engine has been started!"
"The self-test of each joint lock is complete, and the unlocking begins!"
"Unlocked! Driver, please reply! โ
"Everything works!"
"The synchronization rate is stable, and the 'Star Body' armor is activated!"
......
It was a huge metal humanoid, about 3 meters tall and weighing nearly 400 kilograms, wrapped in bright blue metal, like a giant in blue armor. The blue carapace was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a bright light as if a star was circulating on it.
The head of the giant armor was slightly smaller than its tall figure, and was made of two narrow, inverted triangular metal plates welded into a visor, extremely sharp and sharp, like a knife. Above the metal mask was a dense row of copper bars, and from the back of the copper bars peeked out a pair of eyes, red as blood.
Most of the metal humanoid's body was covered in angular pieces of armor, except for a few parts of the internal structure at the joints, which were slender pipes and shiny gears made of purple metal. When the joints turn, these subtle mechanisms make a nice metallic grinding and crashing sound. The former is like the sound of the shaft of a mechanical watch turning calmly, while the latter is like the sound of a hammer inside a piano striking the strings.
The weapons in the armor's hands were two two-meter-long arc-shaped swords, the body of which was dark blue, flashing with a little starlight, as if smeared with the color of the Milky Way. The spine of the sword was inlaid with a purple edge, another metal, and the light was even worse, piercing the viewer's eyes like the tip of a needle. The hilt and gauntlet were golden, and were held tightly by a massive iron hand whose fingers were as sharp as a dragon's claw, but curved as if they were inherently connected.
Gao Zhen was stunned in front of this demon god-like figure, staring blankly, he couldn't imagine that he would actually see such a terrifying thing here. He remembered the mysterious space under the main island of the Southern Islands, which was entwined with spider silk. Two majestic sculptures stand on either side of the strange stone gate, like two demon soldiers of hell. Old Fang told him that it was the "Mo Family Organ Armor" of the first generation of the ancient Mo family, and he was the strongest warrior in the ancient period of the Immortal Realm.
Those two statues were two sets of armor, controlled by two ancient immortal cultivators, a man and a woman. With the powerful power of the Mo family's mechanical arts, they overthrew the rule of the immortal beasts in one fell swoop and put the human race on the stage of the immortal world. The two legendary warriors, dressed in their machine armor, stood guard on either side of the strange stone gate for eternity.
How could the fairy world have such high-tech equipment? Isn't the Mo family's organ armor lost? Why did such a machine appear in the entrance exam of Xinghai Pavilion? Is it also controlled by people? Am I going to take it down?
Countless questions flashed through Gao Zhen's mind, and he gripped the hilt of the Void Condensation Sword in his right hand, and looked up to the left side of the room. The sound was coming from the wall on the left.
I saw a huge piece of transparent glass on the pitch-black wall of the room, and four people sat behind the glass, and on the table in front of them were different machines, which were connected to the huge fixed frame behind the machine armor, and when they shouted "'Star Body' armor is activated!" At the moment of these words, the blue machine armor stepped down from the fixed frame with heavy steps.
"Hello, Pillow, your task is to hold out for three minutes under its attack."
A cold voice came from behind the glass above the wall, without the slightest emotion, as if it were an order.
"Hold on for three minutes under its attack?" Stunned, he looked back at the blood-red eyes in the armor and muttered.
Is this the final assessment?
A bright orange-red glow erupted from the chest of the Trap Armor, where there was a large depression around which sharp pieces of armor enveloped it. And now the center of the depression burned like a lit furnace, like a ghost opening its hideous eyes.
A coherent metal thump sounded like a string of explosives exploding. The armor on its body opened and closed for a while, and the light was vivid, and it suddenly burst forward, like an uncontrollable galloping horse, and slammed straight into the high pillow.
The two two-meter-long dark blue arc swords were stacked together on top of their chests, drawing two dark blue arcs of light in the air, and the dim room was lit up in an instant. The huge metal feet of the armor slammed into the ground, leaving a shattered mark on the ground with each step, like the footprints of a demon god!
The high black pupils were lit up by the flickering blue light on the armor called the Star Body, and he jumped to the side as fast as he could in his life. He knew that he would never be able to take the powerful blow of the machine armor. With just the two long swords in its hand, with a slight swing, it could easily break through all the defenses on Gao Zhen's body, cutting him into two pieces in an instant.
Gao Pillow turned into an afterimage, quickly dodging the attack of the machine armor. The air flow created when the curved sword sliced through the air instantly cut through the hem of the clothes fluttering behind the high pillow. He looked stunned, his clothes didn't touch the blade of the curved sword at all, but they were cut by the air current, which showed how powerful the metal giant was when he charged.
Contrary to what Takatsu had expected, the Trap Armor stopped the moment it lost its target. The difficulty was like reining in a wild horse running wild with its legs spread in front of a cliff, but the metal giant did it with ease. Its two iron feet wrapped in blue armor sank deep into the ground, and there was a loud metal tightening sound like a bomb exploding under the iron sheet. It took only a second for the Trap Armor to break away from the bull-like charge and stand on its feet, like an ancient tree.
The left hand flipped upward, and a charm immediately slipped down the sleeve and appeared in the palm of the resting hand. He quickly recited the incantation, which was triggered with a snap and tossed towards the left shoulder of the Trap Armor. This is an improved glacial spell with a wider freezing range and a shorter trigger time, but it consumes more True Qi, and it cannot be used by immortal cultivators below the third order.
The silver-blue light instantly enveloped the entire left shoulder armor of the machine armor, and quickly eroded in all directions. Soon, white frost appeared on the joints of the neck and left arm of the armor, and these frosts composed of snowflake-like ice crystals covered the outer layer of the armor like man-eating ants, and were still desperately eroding into the inside of the armor.
The armor was sluggish for a moment, and Gao Zhen took the opportunity to quickly distance himself from it, and if the glacier spell worked, it seemed that it would be easy to survive three minutes.
Suddenly, a burst of explosions came from the inside of the machine armor, and the orange-red furnace surrounded by armor on its chest suddenly became brighter. The tiny pieces of armor that surrounded the depression opened one by one, causing the orange-red light to illuminate the entire body of the armor. The original bright blue metal plate seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, and a sizzling sound sounded, and the snow-white frost quickly evaporated, turning into gray-white water vapor, which dissipated in the air.
The frost that had eroded into the armor could have held the purple pipes and gears in place, rendering the armor's left shoulder incapacitated. But the furnace on the metal giant's chest exploded, and the armor quickly heated from the inside out, and all the hoarfrost turned into water and steam, flowing out of the cracks where the armor was connected, like the tears of metal.
The faint blue light flickered, and the curved sword cut a sharp sword shadow, slashing at the high pillow that retreated. The sword was two meters long, and with the long arm of the armor, the distance between the blade and the high pillow was drastically reduced. The Glacier Charm didn't buy him much time, as the Trap Armor melted all the frost in just two seconds with the heat wave in its furnace, returning to its peak of efficiency. The burst of armor even increased the speed of its internal mechanisms, and a dark red glow gleaned between the gears, the sound of which was like the strings of a harp trembling.
"Click!" The silver sword light greeted it, merging with the dark blue, and the sound of collision was amazing, like two bucks holding their antlers together. The image of the sword of the Void Condensation Sword was the clearest lake water, reflecting the dark blue body of the curved sword and the thin bright purple lines on the spine of the sword. There was an arc of light flickering where the two swords touched, which was the result of the true qi hedge.
There was the breath of the five elements circulating in his deep black pupils, and he used all his strength, his muscles bulged, and he swung his sword hard to block the swing of the machine armor. The red eyes on the sharp mask of the machine armor were as red as roses in the twilight, almost dripping blood. The driver who drove the entire metal giant also did his best, and the power of the armor came from his true qi, which was both the manipulator and the source of energy.
There were only four people sitting behind the huge glass on the wall, but at this moment, another man stepped out and stood behind the four.
"What is the output of the 'Star Body' armor?" The man asked, his voice unusually calm.
"It's been reached...... 3200 horses! This is far more than the peak output of the star body! One of the four said loudly.
"What about the synchronization rate of the driver?" The man behind him continued to ask.
"The synchronization rate is decreasing! It's down to 53% and there's a risk of losing connection! One replied.
"It's worthy of the person that the pavilion master fancies......" The man slowly raised his head and looked through the heavy glass at the immortal cultivator who was holding a crystal long sword and dressed in plain clothes.
......
Gao Zhen felt that he was almost fighting a giant dragon, and his hands holding the Void Condensation Sword began to tremble slightly. The tiger's mouth had cracked, and bright red blood had left in his palms.
Suddenly, the unthinkable happened!
Gao Zhen never thought that such a thing would happen at this moment!
The position of his left chest and heart was hot, and the sea of seven stars that had originally covered the witch seal shattered instantly. A huge blue light bloomed from his chest, and he felt like all his blood was going to be drained from it.
A skeleton with thirteen ribs on its left chest suddenly appeared, dancing wildly, its deep eye sockets flashing with blue fire, so evil that it could swallow everything!
A voice rang in Gao Zhen's ears, and his eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
The voice was clearly Captain Kidd, and he said, "I'm sorry, the time has come, goodbye!" โ
What the?!
Didn't you say three years? It's only been a few months! Why is this happening? Why?
Am I going to die?
The blue flames exploded, and a huge wave of qi directly lifted the armor and slammed it against the wall.
Gao Zhen felt as if he was enveloped in volcanic lava, and his body was instantly overwhelmed by the blue sea of magical fire.
......
Has the appointed time with Captain Kidd arrived?
Or is this the curse of the Rib Skull?
......
......
......
