Huyan Zan smiled awkwardly. “The elders have just started to study those metals and haven’t had the time to try refining them.”
Cheng Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. He could only say that the people from the other sects were too cautious.
Wouldn’t it be better to directly refine them into flying swords and Dharma treasures? What was there to dawdle about?
After taking care of the cannons on both sides, the few of them continued to go deeper into the tunnel ahead.
A moment later, he stopped in front of a rusty metal door.
“According to the description on the map, this iron door should be the passage to the lower level.” Yan Changfeng looked around, trying to find the mechanism to open the iron door.
Liu Qiao leaned forward to take a look and said confidently, “It’s a very simple structure. Let me try.”
Liu Qiao sent his divine sense into the iron door, and after some operation, the sound of mechanical structures operating quickly came from inside the iron door.
After a series of ear-piercing creaks, the iron door in front of him slowly opened.
What appeared in front of everyone was a narrow metal room.
“Uh, isn’t it the way to the lower level? Where’s the road?” Huyan Zan and the others were confused.
Cheng Xu, on the other hand, had a strange look on his face. Good heavens, wasn’t this an elevator?
Of course, this elevator was definitely not powered by electricity.
“It looks like an elevator. I just don’t know if it can still be used normally.” Cheng Xu pretended to observe for a while and motioned for everyone to go in together.
There was no floor button in the elevator. Not long after they entered, it began to descend automatically.
“This mechanism is quite interesting.” Huyan Zan’s face was full of curiosity.
After the elevator descended for a moment, it slowly stopped, and the iron door blocking the front slowly opened.
After walking out of the elevator, he was already on the lower floor of the underground palace.
Compared to the previous floor, the metal structure of this floor was much more beautiful. All kinds of pipes and gears were basically hidden inside the wall. Occasionally, the exposed parts gave people a different kind of beauty.
“There are no traces of human activity in such a huge underground city of traps?” Xue Lingyu frowned, “I don’t feel normal.”
“It is indeed strange.” Liu Qiao agreed.
“Maybe it was abandoned for some reason?” Cheng Xu guessed.
“But 1 still don’t understand what such a huge underground palace is used for.”
Huyan Zan was still thinking about the use of the underground palace.
The group continued deeper into the cave until a spacious room appeared beside them.
From the furnishings of the room, it looked like a workshop. All kinds of tools and metal parts were scattered on the ground, and there were messy blueprints piled on the table.
“It seems to be a blueprint for some kind of metal puppet?”
“It’s just that this method of forging is very different from the current method of forging puppets.”
Yan Changfeng and the others picked up a few blueprints and looked at them.
Cheng Xu saw the [ Read] option in the pile of blueprints.
After quietly reading the blueprint information, the entire production process of this ‘Metal Puppet’ quickly appeared in his mind.
Judging from the production process, it was more like a standardized, mass-produced battle puppet. The overall production process was more inclined to the refining of magical equipment and puppets, which was obviously different from the broken limbs of the robots in the spaceship.
The robots in the spaceship were high-tech products.
The battle puppets in front of him were essentially mass-produced magical equipment puppets. They could barely be considered a product of cultivation and industry. They definitely had nothing to do with science and technology.
“With materials of this level, even if it was made, it would probably only be at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.” “What’s the point of the ancient cultivators mass-producing this thing?” Huyan Zan analyzed.
At this moment, Cheng Xu noticed a strange painting on the wall.
It was clearly an ink-wash painting, but the content of the painting was a miniature image of a large spaceship.
Yan Changfeng and the others might not be able to see what was on the painting, but Cheng Xu could tell at a glance.
“What is this?” Huyan Zan walked forward doubtfully. “Southern Heavenly Gate A-2 – 3? Is that the name of this thing?”
“Southern Heavenly Gate again?” Yan Changfeng frowned. “I remember that mysterious senior mentioned the Southern Heavenly Gate, right?”
“Speaking of which, does the Southern Heavenly Gate have any special meaning?”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
“It feels like a place name. After all, our Little Southern Heaven is located in the southernmost part of the cultivation world.” Xue Lingyu guessed.
“Is there such a place in our Little Southern Heaven?” Huyan Zan was puzzled.
“Never heard of it.” Liu Qiao shook his head.
As he spoke, the entire underground palace suddenly began to tremble violently. It lasted for a long time before it gradually calmed down.
Cheng Xu and the others were scared out of their wits. They thought that the underground palace was going to collapse in advance.
“The other teams must have triggered some kind of mechanism,” Yan Changfeng frowned and analyzed. “We should hurry up and find that bronze fragment first.”
After leaving the blueprint workshop, the few of them continued to go deep into the underground palace.
After finding a few elevators, they gradually entered the core area of the underground palace.
The passage in the core area of the underground palace was much wider. Along the way, many parts of the battle puppets could be seen.
“Be careful. There seems to be a large formation embedded in the core area.” Liu Qiao was very sensitive to formations. “Although I only found some scattered formations, their complexity is comparable to the Shenluo Great Formation of our Shenluo Hall.”
“On par with the Shenluo Great Array?” Huyan Zan was shocked beyond words.
“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as the fourth stage.” Liu Qiao said solemnly.
“Could it be a Tier 5 Grand Array?” Everyone was shocked.
After all, Tier 5 Grand arrays were no joke.
The Shenluo Great Array of the Shenluo Hall was only a Tier 4 array formation. A Tier 5 array formation was already unheard of to them.
Boom! Boom!
The faint sounds of battle coming from afar woke everyone up.
The few of them extended their divine senses to check. They saw that in the underground palace passageway not far away, a group of demon cultivators was fighting with three battle puppets.
A group of Foundation Establishment Realm devil cultivators were actually forced back by the three battle puppets, unable to resist at all.
“D*mn, is that puppet that powerful?” Huyan Zan secretly exclaimed, “Looking at that posture, he probably has the combat strength of a Peak Foundation Building cultivator!”
“Go around them.”
The few of them naturally did not care about the lives of the demonic cultivators. They immediately took a detour from other passages and continued to go deeper.
They thought that they could avoid fighting those battle puppets, but it turned out that they were overthinking. In the core area of the underground palace, there were battle puppets wandering around like patrolling guards.
They had not gone far when they were blocked by a three-meter-tall metal giant.
Boom!
The moment the metal giant saw them, it was as if it had seen its prey. It took heavy yet vigorous steps and rushed towards them. The faint light in its eyes condensed and shot out two golden beams.
Seeing this, Huyan Zan hurriedly took out a Defensive Magic Treasure. Liu Qiao also immediately set up two layers of defensive formations.
Boom!
The Magic Treasure Light layer and the Formation Light layer were instantly destroyed by the beam of light. The terrifying impact sent Huyan Zan flying. He grunted and crashed into the metal wall behind him.
“Good fellow, so fierce!”
Huyan Zan stood up in shock, reminding everyone to be careful.
At the same time, the metal giant threw a punch at Yan Changfeng and Cheng Xu.
Fortunately, the two of them reacted quickly enough. One on the left and one on the right, they dodged and used sword techniques to counterattack.
Although Yan Changfeng’s sword technique was exquisite, his flying sword could not hurt the metal giant’s armor at all.
On the other hand, Cheng Xu relied on his +7 New Flying Sword to successfully cut off a part of the metal giant’s arm.
However, what happened next left them flabbergasted.
A ball of dark golden sticky liquid quickly flowed out of the metal giant’s broken arm and quickly solidified to grow a brand new metal arm.
“What?!” Huyan Zan’s eyes were filled with fear.. “Is this still a f*cking puppet?”
