Chapter 388 The Orangutan's New Skill - Ancient Metal Beast Manufacturing

When the hexagonal barrier appeared on the mammoth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the autonomous mecha, they knew that Cheng Tian had returned.

Cheng Tian is back! And now, justice prevails!
The team members, who were already quite exhausted from the relentless attacks and encirclement, subconsciously felt much more at ease.

Without a doubt, this is the cohesive power of a core leader in building a team.

With the appearance of a massive protective barrier capable of covering the entire battlefield, the people and animals of their own kind were given a brief respite.

"Change defense!"

Cheng Tian immediately issued the order and quickly deployed the radar.

When facing such a monster siege, the Radar's heavy firepower is superior to that of other mechs.

The mere appearance of this Land King was enough to successfully repel the long-standing siege by the small monsters.

To be precise, it was the roar of artillery fire that abruptly woke up the alliance of herbivorous dragons, who were controlled by hormones. After leaving behind a batch of corpses, they chose to suspend their offensive and observe from the outside.

This is, in a sense, a new weakness that emerged after the super-powered dinosaurs evolved into intelligent beings.

With wisdom and the ability to think, they became better at avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. In terms of overall threat, they were not even as good as the pure wild beasts of the past. At least back then, they didn't think about anything and just acted on instinct. Mindless recklessness was more suitable for these generally thick-skinned dinosaurs.

Their observation gave Cheng Tian the opportunity to deploy more mechs.

Brodia, Metrod, Goulding, Elf, Orange, Drill, Batmobile... one after another, mechs began to appear on the battlefield.

Not only did the herbivorous dragon alliance, which had been observing, notice this anomaly, but the human groups of all sizes that had just been resisting the invasion together also began to whisper among themselves. The mystery surrounding Hammond Innovation Lab, which had not yet been unveiled, became noticeably thicker.

However, they did not know that Cheng was actually bluffing.

Cheng Tian himself can only drive three vehicles at a time with the help of the vehicle matrix, and with the autonomous blind engineer, it's only four. So many mechs and vehicles are actually just for show.

If they were facing pure beasts devoid of any intelligence, these mechs would be utterly ineffective. If the enemy dared to charge recklessly and there were enough of them, breaking through the defenses and crashing through the laboratory fence would be an unstoppable event.

But precisely because they gained wisdom, witnessed the roar of the radar's cannons, learned to weigh battle losses and gains, and understood what it meant to cherish life, they lost the opportunity to break through human defenses in one fell swoop.

With a long, drawn-out dragon roar, the herbivorous dragon alliance, already broken by the fear of life and death and controlled by hormones, collectively chose to retreat at the sound of what appeared to be their leader's roar. Only a few scattered dinosaurs remained on the scene, still drooling over the bodies of handsome male and beautiful female dragons, completely oblivious to the existence of the other dinosaurs.

The sudden siege crisis has been resolved.

However, if we trace the origins of this dinosaur siege, the source actually lies with Cheng Tian.

The dinosaurs that roamed around the laboratory were killed by the Reds, but a considerable number were accumulated to hatch new dinosaurs.

According to Cheng Tian's requirements, all materials except for those from the Diplodocidae family, such as the long-necked dinosaurs (Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus, etc.) and the saber-toothed tiger fossil material that may arrive at any time, can be used by Wu Tan, who is the second-in-command of the laboratory.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Cheng Tian still has money in his pocket.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the space enclosed by the laboratory cannot accumulate too many neutral dinosaurs with pure bloodlines and healthy bodies. It's not that they don't want to hatch them, but simply that there aren't enough materials.

However, just four and a half hours earlier, a large amount of dinosaur material suddenly appeared in the laboratory's genetic inventory.

These materials were Cheng Tian's finds in the volcanic area. After looting the alien base, Cheng Tian didn't forget to search for corpses in the surrounding area.

With a simple touch, the portable laboratory automatically decomposes and recycles the corpses, turning all the dinosaur carcasses that died from trampling, lava, or drowning into inventory materials, which are then shared back to the instance laboratory.

With enough material, who could resist doing experiments?

As a result, the number of neutral dinosaurs hatched in the laboratory increased, and the concentration and diffusion of pheromones became enough to drive the herbivorous dinosaur alliance mad.

This is not speculation, but a conclusion drawn by Utan after reviewing the events, and it best fits the logical origin of the herbivorous dragon siege incident.

As the second-in-command and an excellent research ape, the orangutan unhesitatingly took the blame upon itself... It should indeed bear at least half the responsibility, after all, it was the one who pressed the hatch button.

"Never mind all that for now! Come with me!"

However, Cheng only glanced at the report given by Utan before throwing it aside. Without saying a word, he grabbed Utan's hands and put them on his shoulders, then carried him outside.

"Boss?"

Utan was quite surprised, but did not resist. He simply asked a question using AI voice.

In fact, Utan has a lot to deal with right now, not only the technical exchange and communication with Fesenden, but also the processing of a large amount of corpse materials from the recent battle.

But Cheng Tian's single sentence ignited an intense fervor in the research ape's eyes.

"We've found an alien base. The facilities inside are well-preserved, involving technologies that deeply integrate dinosaurs and machinery. Are you interested?"

"Please lead the way!"

And so, the impulsive and unscrupulous human investor dumped the mess on the half-elf and ran away with the orangutan.

……

Your servant "Utan" is currently in a state of insatiable deep learning.

[Using his profession as a "Biological Research Ape" and his specialized research direction of "Ancient Biological Gene Fusion," Utan learned a new skill—"Ancient Metal Beast Creation"—by examining the complete facilities left behind by the "Martian Three Brothers."]

【Ancient Metal Beast Creation: Rank A Skill/Lv1, Active Skill. This skill, created by the orangutan Utan through the analysis and research of alien technology, allows the creation of "Ancient Metal Beasts." This skill cannot be upgraded using regular skill points; its level can only be increased by continuously creating superior "Ancient Metal Beasts."】

Utan can use ancient creatures as materials to create ancient metal beasts that possess characteristics of both "combat vehicles" and "mechanical creatures." The creation time and attributes depend on the materials used.

[“Utan” has been detected as the main developer of “Hadmon Innovation Lab”.]

Utan can use ancient creatures hatched in the laboratory as materials to directly create ancient metal beasts.

You will need to provide the corresponding Chosen Coin and the appropriate metal material.

You have chosen to provide "Clerian Ore" as the current crafting material for the Ancient Metal Beast.
