Chapter Thirty-Eight: Exploring the Fortress

The gate of Sky City in front of him was closed, and there was an aura of desolation. Although there are lush forests and lawns around, there is no singing of birds and no breath of life.

"Ogis, let's go in and have a look."

"Yes, master."

After getting Augisi's answer, Duanmu Huai hugged Augis, activated the jet pack and jumped up, jumping directly above the city gate, and fell heavily.

"Boom!!"

Power A collided with the stone gate, making a heavy sound, but there was still no movement in the entire city. Aside from the grasslands and trees, there doesn't seem to be any life here. So Duanmu Huai also activated the reconnaissance servo skull and asked it to go to the vicinity to investigate——— however, even the reconnaissance servo skull did not send back a signal to find any life characteristics.

Is this just a dead city? Only the city remains, and everything else is gone?

No way......... Anyway, go ahead and see.

Duanmu and Ojisi jumped off the gate and came to the other side, making their way down the overgrown path. The city looks very unique, and although most of the buildings are made of stone, it has a geometric aesthetic of technological creation——— well, it's hard to say whether the building material is actually stone or not.

"Roaring —————!!"

However, just as Duanmu Huai and Ogis crossed the road and came to the fork in the road ahead, suddenly, a huge black shadow let out a beast-like roar, jumped from the roof, and pounced directly on them. And in the face of this sudden attack, Duanmu Huai also hurriedly raised the war hammer in his hand and turned to face the enemy. The two sides collided together and then separated again.

It was only at this time that Duanmu Huai could see clearly what the black shadow that attacked him was.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a while, only to see that in front of him was something that looked like a humanoid robot made of metal. However, its limbs are in the form of beastly claws, and its head is like that of a lion, with a lizard-like tail and goshawk-like wings behind it.........

【Iron Lion】

【LV21】

"Good guys......... The people who built it must have had their brains out of their minds........."

Looking at the mechanical monster in front of him, Duanmu Huai didn't know what to say. However, the metal lion roared again, and pounced on the two of them with teeth and claws. This time, Duanmu Huai did not show mercy to his subordinates, he directly stepped forward with an arrow, faced the minions of the Demon Iron Crazy Lion, and smashed it down with a hammer. The hard and heavy war hammer instantly smashed the iron lion's head into tatters, but even so, the iron lion still struggled frantically to try to inflict damage on Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai then swung his hammer again, hitting it like a golf ball, and then saw the Demon Iron Wild Lion roar and fly upside down, crashing into the wall not far away, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

"It doesn't look like the city is so stable."

was attacked, Duanmu Huai's heart was much calmer, at least this shows that the direction of this fragment should be battle......... And the reason why the reconnaissance servo skull did not detect signs of life is also very simple, I am afraid that the only thing left here is a machine that can act on its own.

After that, the encounter between Duanmu Huai and Ogis also confirmed his suspicions, and in the process of exploring the outskirts of the city, they were attacked by several robots. In addition to the previous four-like lion head, there is also a kind of [prototype mecha] that looks like a knight, holding a double sword and wearing a cloak, and a [mechan] that looks similar, but holds a machine gun, most of these robots are between level 20 and 30, relying on a steady army of puppets, these robots are not difficult to deal with for Duanmu Huai.

But along the way, he also became more and more interested in the city's origins.

As it stands, the city seems to be a place used by some ancient civilization to research and build robots......... I just don't know what's in there.

"Bang Dang!!"

Another robot turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground under the attack of the puppets, and Ogis walked over curiously, stretched out her hand and gently poked the scrap metal robot on the ground.

"Master, are these also dolls?"

"In a way, it's true..............."

"But I don't see the threads that manipulate them."

Ogis is very curious about this, all the puppets in the [Puppet Card Deck] with her as the core need silk threads to manipulate, don't look at Duanmu Huai, every time they fight, they will lay a bunch of dolls on the field, but the silk threads of each puppet are controlled by Augis.

Therefore, she was quite curious about this kind of "puppet" that can move without silk threads.

"They are made in different ways, and they don't need silk threads to move, but they only have a limited amount of activity."

Duanmu Huai gave Ogis a brief explanation, and the latter nodded as if he didn't understand.

While talking, the two of them had already walked through the outer layer and came to a place similar to a street, and the houses next to them also had signboards, although they couldn't understand what was written on them, but from the style and pattern of these signs, it could be seen that this should be a shopping street.

Duanmu Huai curiously went in and walked around, but there was nothing in it, and I don't know if it was because it was empty at the time, or if the fragments were not projected in.

It wasn't until he entered the third shop that Duanmu Huai was somewhat rewarded.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. In front of him was an exhibition table, and on the table sat several very cute and beautiful girl dolls. They all differ in appearance, clothing and hairstyle. Next to these girl dolls, there are also things similar to price tags.

"This civilization is kind of interesting."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up, although he couldn't read the text, but he could see that this should be a place used to sell robots, and these robots are estimated to be commodities, and most of what is written on the brand is their format and function. Although I should have thought of it just now, this civilization does seem to be a civilization that is very good at making robots.

O'Kis also seemed to be quite interested in these robots that looked like herself, and she reached out curiously, poking at this and looking at that. Sometimes touching oneself, sometimes touching each other, seems to be comparing the difference between the two.

"Alright, let's go, Ogis."

Duanmu Huai observed for a while, and felt that there should be no clues, so he motioned for Ojisi to prepare to leave.

However, just as the two turned around to walk out of the store, suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

"Yes......... Can you please wait a minute? ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai and Ogis turned their heads, only to see that on the display table behind them, a girl robot who had been sitting there was opening its eyes and staring at them.
