The Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon was under attack. The first command in its head was a choice to counterattack. It took a step, but the next moment, there was a sharp cracking sound from its joints. The Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon seemed to have fallen into the mud, and its movements became extremely slow. The lightning engulfed it, and countless fine strands of electricity turned into a silk-like thread that wrapped around it.
As its entire body was made of metal, it was exceptionally weak in the face of lightning attacks. Crack, Crack. Tears started to appear on the surface of its body. Micro-gears appeared from the open wound. These micro-gears excreted a large amount of black liquid.
When the liquid from the wound landed on the ground, some of the stones that touched the black liquid came to life. They became mechanical stones with huge gears that rotated slowly.
Da Zi was surprised, as it hadn’t expected its attack to have such a strong impact. This encouraged Da Zi to release more lightning.
A lightning bolt transformed into a chain, lashing and capturing the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon. This huge dragon didn’t seem to have other means of attack but simply used its body to fight. This was extremely rare.
It was rare to find a Quasi God with only one ability. For this reason, Gao Peng felt that this Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon must have been ‘created.’
‘Created’ monsters might have been as strong as naturally evolved Quasi Gods in battle effectiveness, but there was usually a gap in their singular ability and coordination, especially when they faced enemies who could restrain them.
An airwave squirted out from the back of the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon’s tail, activating its Mechanic Berserk Territory! Under the yellow air, several statues on the wall were suddenly revived. Two long rainbows appeared in their eyes that were made of stone.
Gao Peng noticed that all metal and mechanical life in the field had become active, and some of the things that were originally dead had been revived.
Gao Peng’s eyes narrowed. At every interval along the city road, there was a huge sculpture. He had thought they were for decorative purposes, but now he thought there was more to it.
“Roar!” Da Zi didn’t escape in time. It was swiped by the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon’s claw, the shell on its back almost lifting off, and the wounded part was exposed to a horrible virus. Da Zi felt incredibly itchy, as if countless feathers were tickling the wound. Some of his flesh mutated and formed agglomerated granules.
The next moment, these granules broke open, and tiny red gear wheels grew from inside. The gears were like a meat grinder devouring the surrounding flesh and blood.
Wheeze— An electric arc swept through the wound. Da Zi had a strong resistance to lightning, so the mutated flesh had also taken on this characteristic. Bearing with the pain, Da Zi fought back with one claw, leaving three claw marks on the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon’s skin, attempting to force it back. However, the dragon didn’t retreat. The area with the claw mark made by Da Zi wiggled rapidly and soon healed itself.
In a moment, the skin was intact and had recovered to its original state. At the same time, a huge mechanical sculpture that had been revived dashed forward with uplifted arms, as though it wanted to smash a mountain.
The powerful blow seemed to be aimed at Da Zi’s chest.
Bang! There was a yellow flash. Goldie, with its hand behind it, slowly looked at the big hand that had landed on its bald head.
Its face was mildly surprised. “You attacked me? You sneakily attacked an innocent duck. You’re so done for.” Goldie’s face sank as it grabbed the large hand and broke it off!
Boom, boom, boom. There was a series of melodious booms.
“Da Zi, return,” Gao Peng ordered.
Da Zi eagerly ran back and screaming, “Ouch, I’m dying of pain. Help me heal the wound. I’m dying of pain.”
It wasn’t until thirty minutes later that the fight finally ended. Goldie had initially been losing, but with extraordinary endurance and strength, it finally defeated the steel dragon.
Da Zi rolled into a circle. Xiao Cao had healed its shell, but it was still hiding behind Gao Peng’s butt and refused to go out. It left this monster to its classmate Goldie, but Goldie didn’t mind.
The Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon was subdued and held down on the top of the city wall. The two wings behind it fell powerlessly onto the ground, and the light in the eyes became more and more intense.
Goldie squatted on its neck and grabbed it with both hands, stopping it from using its power. Keeping it alive was necessary to get more information out of it. Unexpectedly, the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon would rather die than comply, but nonetheless, the light in its eyes grew more and more intense.
Gao Peng noticed this scene and was reminded of something. “Forget it, just kill it.”
Goldie nodded and twisted its arms without hesitation. The Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon’s neck twisted 720 degrees with a click. The dangerous aura within the dead Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon disappeared instantly.
Gao Peng also breathed a sigh of relief. This monster wouldn’t explode upon dying, would it?
The dead Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon was like a small mountain lying in its original position. The undulating mountain-like shape that formed its spine looked to be of good quality steel.
Gao Peng asked Silly to put the dead body into its space; such excellent materials couldn’t be wasted.
After killing the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon, it seemed that the relationship between the Chunky City and himself was irreconcilable. Having different thoughts, Gao Peng and the group of familiars stood on the city wall, the spacious platform as wide as a court, the length dozens of miles.
The steel ground below their feet was filled with potholes, some places twisted and broken. The area in front of them was sunken and had collapsed as if it had been twisted with some kind of brute force. The steel had a cylindered dent. It looked like it had been punctured by a giant’s finger…
Gao Peng made a comparison. If it had truly been a finger, the finger of this mysterious guy couldn’t be much smaller than that of the Mechanic Epic Giant Dragon.
Reaching the inner edge of the city wall, there was a long inclined ladder that led to the city below. The city was in a similar state. A large number of buildings had collapsed, and everywhere was a mess.
But there were two things that Gao Peng felt very odd about.
First, the city was very quiet. Even though there was such a high-intensity battle on the tower just now, no monsters appeared in the steel city.
Second, Gao Peng found that there were no corpses in the city below. Neither the bodies of those invaded nor the bodies of other mechanical monsters could be seen. It shouldn’t have been so. It was obvious that there had been a very fierce battle, of a great scale. The traces of the battlefield were the best evidence.
