Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

Sean never imagined that traveling through the Rocky Wilderness would be so convenient.

Sitting on the platform below the cockpit, Sean watched the massive machine move swiftly across the rocky wasteland, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"The Mechanic system does have its merits."

In walking mode, the Dragon Smoke extends four metal reverse-jointed limbs from below the metal disc.

The feet end in large, self-adaptive gripping teeth, making each step quite steady and powerful.

The enormous mechanical body moved across the rugged, rocky wilderness as if it were flat ground.

Sean sat on the high platform and didn't feel much swaying.

The Dragon Smoke's stride frequency wasn't actually fast, but it couldn't withstand the length of its legs.

Each step down was six or seven meters. Sean looked at the giant stone pillars rushing past on both sides and couldn't help but sigh again.

These massive mechanical creations truly possess unique advantages in wilderness exploration and travel.

A casual hour's walk is equivalent to more than a whole day's walk he used to take.

Moreover, this thing never tires; as long as its energy isn't depleted, it can keep going indefinitely.

The Longyan has two main control modes: manual driving and automatic driving.

During normal combat, Wu Jinyan would drive manually, but when traveling, she would use the autopilot mode.

After Wu Jinyan pre-sets the approximate direction of travel and path planning parameters, the intelligent core on the Longyan will take over most of the walking control.

When traveling, it automatically avoids large obstacles and chooses relatively flat routes, greatly reducing the driver's mental burden.

Wu Jinyan has now also left the cockpit and is resting on the same platform.

The Dragon Smoke Squad has traveled this route countless times, and all the parameters are readily available. Unless they enter combat mode, they don't need to manually control the Dragon Smoke at all.

The Dragon Smoke has two sources of energy.

One of these methods involves absorbing free-floating dimensional energy from the air through a special built-in energy core.

Through core transformation, this dimensional energy is converted into stable and pure power storage.

This is also the primary source of energy.

The second type is the solar auxiliary system, which serves as an important supplement and emergency backup.

A large number of high-efficiency composite solar absorption panels are integrated and laid on the top structure of the Longyan.

These specially treated panels can absorb and convert conventional solar energy to the maximum extent.

The collected solar energy will be converted into electrical energy and stored in a dedicated high-capacity buffer battery pack. This electrical energy is used as the driving force for the Dragon Smoke's daily operations.

The Giant Rock Wilderness was shrouded in a thin mist for a long time, so the absorption of solar energy was not very good, only about 60%.

However, by controlling the movement speed, the Dragon Smoke can basically move without any losses.

"I don't know how to get Ryudai to write down her hero abilities in a notebook and give it to me..."

Sean glanced subconsciously at Long Dai's near-perfect face, which was not far from him.

However, this serious thought lasted for less than half a second.

As if pulled by some irresistible force, the train of thought in his mind suddenly slipped.

His memory, with an incredibly smooth and uncontrollable veer, veered towards another, extremely impactful visual fragment—

Those soft, close-fitting clothes that were previously stored in the storage pocket.

"This size... it's probably an F, right?"

This conclusion, based purely on male instinct and fleeting visual residuals, and lacking any scientific basis and extremely impolite, took shape abruptly in his mind.

Tut tut...

That's quite a fierce one!

........................

Sean almost lost his image as a hermit, but Long Dai and the other two didn't notice.

Perhaps because Sean's strength had been so deeply ingrained in their minds, the three of them firmly believed in Sean's identity as a B-rank hero.

Sean then went along with the situation and fabricated the identity of a B-level physical enhancement hero, while also figuring out the general situation of the three women.

Wu Jinyan and Long Dai are both mechanical sorcerers, C-rank heroes with a level 36 warrior. Cheng Yirou's level is a bit lower, but she is still level 32.

They were all scions of noble families of heroes, but all of them were from collateral branches and did not seem to be highly valued by their families.

"Two mechanical sorcerers, one providing powerful firepower and the other providing control and logistical support, and a demon sorcerer with a transformation burst as the core assault force."

"Such a combination is definitely considered elite among teams composed of C-rank heroes. No wonder they have the confidence to venture deep into the Boulder Wilderness and head to the Rusty Canyon."

Sean nodded to himself.

This team's strength and configuration are actually quite good.

If it weren't for the unexpected encounter with three elite blade magic wizards at the same time, they would actually be quite safe in a place like the Boulder Wilderness.

"Unfortunately... my goals are different from theirs."

Otherwise, we could continue traveling together for a while when we reach the Rusty Canyon.

The destination of Long Dai and her two companions was the Rusty Canyon. They planned to hunt mechanical monsters there and collect their corpses to further enhance the Dragon Smoke.

Sean went to Rusty Canyon as a stepping stone to the next map controlled by mechanical monsters.

He wouldn't change his plans for the sake of Long Dai and the other two.

Similarly, it is impossible to ask the other party to abandon the established goal and follow him to explore a more dangerous area.

"Well, being able to travel with beauty for this part is already quite good."

At least for now, it's a feast for the eyes.

Sean took out the area information board and began to look at the information on it.

Before that, he had already downloaded some information about the monsters in Rusty Canyon and the area beyond through the forum in the settlement.

The map data has also been updated.

However, this content is actually full of errors and omissions.

The area information board in Gathering Place No. 13 features maps and information provided by the adventurers.

However, the vast majority of adventurers from Settlement 13 do not venture into Rusty Canyon and the areas beyond.

The road from the Rocky Plains to the Rusty Canyon is extremely difficult to traverse.

Few people are capable of making it to the entrance to the Rusty Canyon alive.

In comparison, traveling from the Rocky Wilderness to other Diablo maps is much easier.

It's also possible to enter the Rusty Canyon from other places.

It just means more trouble and a higher level of danger.

With fewer adventurers active there, the available information is relatively limited.

The information pieced together from these materials about the rusted canyon and the area behind it is inevitably compromised in terms of accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.

Sean already knew this and had accepted it.

However, this time he had an unexpected surprise.
