Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 802 Dead Machine Jungle
As for the construction of its own combat system.

Weiyu also put a lot of thought into the selection and construction.

Of course, it is not hard to see from the three mechanical body projects that his core combat system actually revolves around one principle, which is efficient output.

With the weapon "Gray Soul" as the core, the remaining items, such as skills and torso mechs, are all aimed at enhancing and assisting it.

In this way, the output has reached its current maximum value, and even under normal circumstances, the attack power is not weak at all.

Of course, the power of the Energy-Burning Mechanical Bloodline goes without saying, but this bloodline also has a serious drawback... namely, resource consumption.

The additional 20% loss in all aspects is still a significant impact on players of the Energy Mech.

However, this is not a big problem for Wei Yu.

Although he can't compare to the ultimate whales like Black Mountain Demon, he can still be described as "quite wealthy".

Ensuring a good development and gaming experience is naturally not a problem.

……

After briefly observing the surroundings, Wei Yu did not let her guard down, but instead lightly swung her arm.

The next moment, the mechanical arm trembled, and with the sound of steel and parts clashing, gray-white dual pistols appeared in his mechanical hands.

Perhaps in order to cater to the players' usage habits, most of the weapon-type mechanical items in Lingzhu retain the players' flexible five fingers, with only a few mechanical items completely modifying the limbs.

However, unlike the firearms that players are familiar with, the [Gray Soul] mechanical weapon does not have a trigger; instead, it is driven by the firepower of war and the supply of fuel.

A slightly rusty eyepiece quickly extended from the steel hub at the temple, and the crystalline eyes rapidly scanned the area.

The next moment, he raised his arm and locked onto a damp corner of a dark brown giant tree, and a white-red incendiary bullet flashed by.

With a strange scream, green blood splattered beneath the dark brown giant tree, and a lurking monster was melted away.

You have killed the Machine Eater.

"Machine-devouring Alien...that name..."

Wei Yu muttered to herself and approached the corpse of the Devouring Machine Alien.

He then discovered some strange metal objects next to it, which looked like parts of some kind of mechanical creation, with obvious signs of gnawing and corrosion.

chi chi...

The blood of the machine-devouring alien, which had not yet completely turned to ashes, continued to corrode the surrounding environment, especially noticeable on the mechanical parts.

Seeing this, Wei Yu probably understood why this monster was called the Machine Devourer Alien.

"An alien monster that specifically devours mechanical creations?"

"The Dead Machine Jungle... no wonder it's a dungeon map connected to Gelgard..."

Wei Yu understood perfectly.

Geergda.

For players of mechanical bodies, this term is extremely familiar.

After all, it was the Rutan merchants who brought them the news of the "substitute limbs," which mentioned this land of incantations and machines.

The NPC "Navo," who constantly provides new mechanical items to players of the Burning Energy Mechanical Body, is also closely related to the blacksmith on Candlefire Island.

However, due to the attention drawn by the Primal Flame Scar dungeon and the dynamic storyline of Candlefire Island, coupled with the fact that Gergda only occasionally appears in certain information, he doesn't have much of a presence in the eyes of most players.

Now, it's not hard to tell from the mechanical parts beneath the Devouring Machine Alien that this map is definitely closely related to Gelgard.

It is even connected to the "Flesh and Blood Curse - Shuri" that appeared in the previous background story.

However, that's all the information we have so far, because this instance is quite large, and some players who went in early have only explored a small part of it.

Wei Yu was attracted by the message they sent.

There was no noteworthy information found in the machine-devouring alien that was just killed or in its lair.

But that doesn't matter. Wei Yu is confident that she will soon be able to uncover the secrets hidden in this Dead Machine Jungle.

……

After dealing with the initial machine-eating aliens.

Wei Yu quickly set off into the depths of the Dead Machine Jungle, wielding the Gray Soul.

It must be said that the scenery of this new instance has a very terrifying atmosphere.

The dark brown giant trees blocked out the sun, and continuous rain dripped from the leaves. The vines and thorny bushes made it difficult to move forward, and danger seemed to lurk in the shadows at all times.

Fortunately, one advantage of being a player of a bio-mechanical body is that you are not afraid of pain.

Wow.

Wei Yu extended her mechanical arm, grabbed the thorny brambles in front of her, cleared the path, and slowly stepped in.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a terrifying screech came from the left.

Wei Yu subconsciously raised his Gray Soul to aim and fire, but the sound of air being cut from the other side made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.

Bang!
As expected, the energy bullet fired by Gray Soul did not land on the physical object, but instead landed on the bark of a large tree.

At the same time, a sticky body took the opportunity to fly in front of Wei Yu, opened its bloody mouth, and bit down hard on Wei Yu's shoulder.

Crunch!

A sickeningly sharp, grating sound of steel twisting rang out, and Wei Yu's health dropped instantly.

Fortunately, the energy-generating mechanical body causes very little pain.

Realizing what was happening, Wei Yu decisively put away one side of the gray soul, condensed the burning energy in her hand to form a high-speed spinning cutting saw blade, and then pressed it down hard on the monster's head on its body.

Chi Chi Chi!
In an instant, dark green flesh and blood, along with sticky tissue fluid, splattered everywhere.

As the sharp hiss gradually faded away, the attacking mechanical alien was sliced ​​in two.

You have defeated the Machine Eater Echo.

hiss!
The increasing hisses around him left Wei Yu no time to check the kill notifications or his own injuries. His instincts, ingrained in his body, made him retreat quickly and begin running through the jungle.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the spot, several mechanical aliens of different shapes pounced on it, and then, extremely unwilling, hissed at him and quickly chased after him.

"That machine-devouring alien must have used some kind of deceptive technique..."

"So many machine-devouring aliens suddenly appeared; there must be some kind of nest ahead..."

These thoughts flashed through Wei Yu's mind rapidly.

Of course, his hands didn't stop moving at all.

After consuming two recovery wax blocks to restore his condition and injuries, he immediately activated his combustion energy.

As the azure candlelight and burning energy converged, a peculiar rhombus-shaped grenade suddenly appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, he threw it to the ground, and then, driven by his fighting instincts, lunged forward.

A tranquilizer grenade!

Bang!
In an instant, a cloud of mist exploded with an invisible force field, enveloping a large area.

The Devouring Machine Aliens that entered immediately slowed down as if a slow button had been pressed, and some of the weaker Devouring Machine Aliens were even paralyzed on the ground.

Roar--

However, accompanied by a roar, a machine-eating alien with hands on its face slapped the tranquilizer grenade away, completely unaffected by it.

"Tsk... there's a mini-boss too..."

Although somewhat surprised, Wei Yu remained calm. His long combat experience and the inherent fighting instincts of his energy-burning mechanical body allowed him to make the best choice at this moment. *Whoosh!*
As the energy pulsed again, ripples spread across Wei Yu's body. Soon, his skin color began to change like a chameleon, changing with the surrounding environment until he disappeared into the jungle.

This caused some of the pursuing machine-eating aliens to lose their target and cautiously remain in place, beginning to sniff around.

However, the strange four-legged machine-devouring alien did not lose its target and continued to head straight for Wei Yu.

Undoubtedly, it possesses some ability to pinpoint the location of light rain.

However, even so, Wei Yu achieved her goal.

As long as these annoying minions don't swarm him, his margin for error will be much greater.

So……

"It's my turn now!"

A light rain leaped up, landed on the thick tree trunk, and directly drew out the gray soul.

Although he was physically fragile and not wearing heavy equipment or mechanical items, he was not a lamb to the slaughter at the slightest touch.

hum-

As the combustion energy resonated once more, an invisible and intangible ripple rapidly spread out from him, quickly bringing all surrounding targets and terrain back into his field of vision.

Energy Radar is a must-have skill for most mechanical players.

At the same time, Gray Soul had already fired numerous energy bullets, which flew towards the paralyzed or stationary Devouring Machine Aliens behind it.

Each bullet travels at extremely high speed.

Their power is equally terrifying; the moment they come into contact with flesh and blood, they explode with crimson annihilation energy, instantly melting the flesh and blood.

The Machine Devourer's decent carapace and exoskeleton were utterly insignificant in the face of the annihilating energy.

Then, a red light flickered in the dark jungle of dead machines.

The large number of machine-devouring aliens were targeted one by one and most of them were wiped out in a short time, leaving only dark green rotten flesh and blood.

At that moment, the four-legged mechanical alien opened its mandibles toward Wei Yu and spat out a dark green corrosive liquid bullet.

But the light rain was perfectly calm, and the already pulsating fuel quickly ignited under precise calculations.

And so, just before the corrosive liquid bomb arrived.

His body flickered as if the image had been distorted, and then he disappeared from the spot.

Block overload!

The tree that originally stood on was not so lucky; after being doused with corrosive liquid, it was corroded and collapsed with a crash.

"Tsk..."

With a light click of her tongue, Wei Yu, who had already arrived at another tree trunk, directly activated the power of the Fire Offering within her body!

The next moment, the combustion energy flowed rapidly, flowing from the torso to the arms, and then to the gray soul of the twin guns.

Immediately afterwards, with a thought from Wei Yu, the two guns in his hands began to recombine and merge, the parts fitting together rapidly with a clatter, transforming into a large sniper rifle in a very short time.

Wei Yu lowered her head slightly, and at that moment, the mechanical goggles connected to the Gray Soul sniper rifle. Her crystalline eyes locked onto the four-legged mechanical monster below, and her burning energy rapidly converged at the muzzle...

"Roar!!!"

At the same time, the mini-boss among the machine-devouring aliens also found Wei Yu's location. After letting out a roar, it began to angrily gather corrosive liquid bullets again, and it seemed to be moving faster than Wei Yu.

puff!
The corrosive liquid bullets from the quadrupedal mechanical alien were already flying towards them.

But Wei Yu didn't take it to heart and just smiled slightly.

"Try one of mine."

Ash Soul - Molten Ballistics!

At that moment, it was as if a small sun was hidden in the muzzle of Gray Soul's gun.

next second.

The pale red energy bullet burst forth from Gray Soul's gun muzzle with terrifying speed and power in an instant.

call out--

Upon contact with the corrosive liquid bullet, the energy bullet melted and tore it apart almost without pause, continuing its relentless advance towards the quadrupedal mechanical alien.

Immediately upon touching its body, an incredibly powerful burst of high-temperature energy rapidly spread out...

After a while.

The once dark and damp Dead Machine Jungle suddenly brightened for a moment, and a scorching wind swept through, as if an invisible hand were caressing the giant trees of the jungle...

creak.

Wei Yu leaped down from the broken tree trunk, and after confirming that there was no threat around, quickly withdrew the fuel.

Without the energy to support it, Gray Soul quickly reverted to its dual-gun form.

While it possesses immense power, its energy consumption is also terrifying.

Moreover, the power of the fire is hard to return, so every little bit saved is precious.

After swiftly and precisely quelling the pursuit of these machine-devouring aliens, Wei Yu finally had time to reflect on the previous situation.

He did seem to have noticed a place that resembled a "nest".

However, before they could take a closer look, they were discovered by the machine-devouring alien.

Moreover, these machine-devouring aliens are quite strange.

The monster that successfully ambushed Wei Yu at the beginning seemed to have a deep understanding of mechanical life forms like them, and even had a special ability to lure them.

And that four-legged mini-boss from earlier, if he's not mistaken, should be something like a turret.

As for the machine-devouring aliens that were individually named by Wei Yu, they all had different appearances and presumably each had its own special skills.

However, the light rain didn't give them another chance to show off their unique features...

"Alien..."

"Could it be what I'm thinking?"

After considering the names of these strange monsters, some thoughts flashed through Wei Yu's mind.

He then turned his attention to the fallen objects in front of him, preparing to see if there was any noteworthy information among them.

[Acquired: 156 pieces of wax oil]

[Received: Wax oil...]

[Acquired: Alien Canine Tooth (Excellent)]

[Acquired: Mech-Eating Solution Gland ×1]

[Acquired: Indigestible Spell Steel Block x1]

Although the battle was relatively short, Wei Yu eliminated a large number of Devouring Machine Aliens, resulting in a significant amount of loot.

The loot dropped by these monsters also revealed a lot of important information.

【Unusual Canine Teeth (Excellent)】

[Type: Weapon]

[Effect: Sharp enough to tear through steel.]

[Note: These are the massive canines used by the Machine Devourer Xenomorph to tear through steel after multiple gestation processes; they're actually quite good as weapons.]
