Free Web NovelChapter 1395: Chapter 1299: God-level War Machine Study
The Hellhounds in the stomach space have basically been dealt with, and all the evil creatures have been thrown into the immense mining operation, making the entire lake surface boil like a cauldron filled with dumplings. The thrown-in minerals dissolve like blocks of salt, and new soil is rapidly born at a speed visible to the naked eye along the lakeshore.
Then the barracks in the lake flashed red light simultaneously, and another 30 evil creatures were born!
The appetite of the newly advanced Holy Vine exceeded Da Fei’s imagination, and this feeling of creation was simply exhilarating! Now the stages of mining, transporting, and consuming minerals are all connected, so swallowing this entire mining area is not a dream!
The only concern is that the enemy has been silent for almost an hour. When will they attack?
Da Fei, in a mindset of staying vigilant in times of peace, went to find Lamiya, who had been playing with makeup in the tavern. It seems he forgot to call her during his imperial bath earlier! Forgetting to call her for such a big event is a failure! However, this also proves that he is not a debauched leader but rather wise and mighty.
When Da Fei found Lamiya, he was suddenly startled; Lamiya’s name turned red again!
Lamiya chuckled and said, "Master, this is the effect of makeup!"
Da Fei hurriedly opened Lamiya’s hero attribute bar, and sure enough, she was still his hero, with a loyalty still glaringly red at 100.
Lamiya smiled and said, "The makeup for the other four is also done, and their hostile state is also due to makeup."
Meanwhile, the three Dark Elf mixed-blood dancers, including Ista, whose names were also red, stepped forward: "Greetings, Master!"
Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good. So, when are you planning to act?"
Lamiya smiled and said, "It will naturally be possible as soon as we leave this mine. However, as for how to contact the lord, I would like to ask that Miss Nun for help, as she seems more proficient in controlling Banshees. I can establish a soul contract with her."
Soul contract? Da Fei suppressed his inner joy and pretended to be surprised: "Isn’t this something you didn’t want to sign? Won’t this wrong you?"
Lamiya laughed: "Of course, it’s not a slave contract like Deirdre’s, just a form of soul resonance to achieve the purpose of remote telepathic communication, something only high-level Banshees can play with."
Da Fei was slightly disappointed; he thought that his victory in defeating the Prince and slaughtering the Divine Beast had convinced her. Da Fei chuckled and said, "Alright, I’ll call Selvia right away. By the way, why has the enemy been quiet for so long?"
Lamiya laughed: "It’s a simple matter. To clear the collapsed passage, they need troops with production skills or ordinary citizens. The Hell Army gathered too quickly to think of bringing engineers with production skills. Although there are hundreds of thousands of level 0 engineers in Hell City, they cannot be deployed. The deployable slave engineers, such as Minotaur slaves, are too precious to risk on the battlefield. So the enemy might have returned to the city to gather engineers or ordinary citizens, which could take some time."
Da Fei suddenly realized: "So after defeating two main combat heroes of the Hell Army, they now send valuable engineers. The next opponent must be terrifying, right?"
Lamiya said solemnly: "Without a doubt! Even if the City Lord personally stepped in, it wouldn’t be surprising. So I suggest that whenever possible, the Master should flee, avoiding direct confrontation. When the enemy’s strong combatant leaves the city, we harass and raid from behind."
Da Fei nodded: "That was our initial plan. So what about the City Lord’s strength?"
Lamiya replied seriously: "Usually, those who sit in the City Lord’s position in the surface world are high-level Demon Kings, stronger even than the Abyss Blood Demon King, Azak, whom the Master once killed. As for the Shadow City Lord, the Prince’s cheap father, he belongs to the 72 Demon Gods, ranked 14th in the Demon God Leraje family. His main ability is archery, certainly not weaker than Azak, so the Master’s Flying Airship must not appear directly in front of him."
Da Fei groaned; he hated it when others had anti-aircraft guns! He groaned: "Will it definitely be the Shadow City Lord? Our primary target, Sindaga City, seems nearby, right?"
Lamiya laughed: "Sindaga City is mainly a slave market, and their lord belongs to the 72 Demon Gods, ranked 11th in the Guxin family. Although their family’s rank is high, their main duty is not combat, so they probably won’t come."
Da Fei was shocked and exclaimed: "Guxin again!"
The three, including Ista, shivered involuntarily.
Lamiya asked surprised: "Oh? The Lord City Lord has a grudge with the Guxin family?"
Da Fei sighed: "What a small world! Ista and the other three, as well as many priests on my side, have been brainwashed by the Guxin family, but that was in our Asia Plane."
Lamiya understood: "So the legend goes, defeating Guxin can reclaim the memories he devoured. However, the Guxin family’s strength lies in devouring the memories of various strong ones and integrating them for their own use. They may release all sorts of unimaginable skills, even being able to release the Light system’s Great Prophecy Skill as demons, making it very hard to fight against them."
Da Fei frowned: "There are demons with this kind of setup? By the way, what is this Great Prophecy Skill?"
Lamiya sighed: "Otherwise, how could they be such a highly ranked Demon God family? Although this Guxin is not the one who persecuted Ista on the Master’s Plane, he has absorbed a lot of Dark Elf memory energy. If you defeat him and obtain memory energy similar to Ista’s, Ista and her companions can still benefit."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched: "So I have no choice but to kill this Guxin City Lord?"
Lamiya spoke solemnly: "Please be cautious, Master. Isn’t the main goal robbery?"
Da Fei finally realized—a good reminder! Why can’t I distinguish between primary and secondary goals? Now I’m still trapped in a cave.
At that moment, Selvia arrived: "Captain, I’m here!"
Da Fei came to his senses: "Good, Miss Lamiya wants to sign a convenient communication contract with you, so handle it."
"Understood!"
In any case, the priority is to find a way to break through. Da Fei decided to ask Tamilia about the current strength of the Holy Vine, combined with the Divine Artifact Super Transmission Amplifier, and the difficulty of breaking through the barrier enclosure forcibly.
Just then, the system prompt rang with a ding:
— System Prompt: Your special machinery "Sandworm Mining Machine" has acquired a large amount of swallowing energy and gained a new special skill "Primary Spirit Body." The mechanical grade rose to Divine Artifact!
Primary Spirit Body: Non-living units have obtained simple life features and can enjoy partial attribute bonuses of heroes’ strategic attributes (currently receiving 3% of hero’s attribute bonuses).
— System Prompt: You have developed a mechanical body with simple life features and gained the God-level War Machine Science information.
...
Looking at this sudden information, Da Fei was startled, Primary Spirit Body! Can enjoy partial strategic attribute bonuses of heroes? God-level War Machine Science information?
Gosh! Isn’t this just like the Flying? Coming to his senses, Da Fei was ecstatic; this was the key to breakthrough in God-level War Machine Science!
Da Fei suddenly remembered the conversation between Billbo and the Old Village Chief back in Habbit Village. At that time, they were curious about the Sandworm Mining Machine’s composition, and the Old Village Chief mentioned something about semi-mechanical and semi-organic, so back then he already obtained advancement information, but he was too busy chopping trees to notice!
But even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t have had the means back then. The Sandworm Mining Machine’s advancement was undoubtedly related to those two drills. Where could he have found such Divine Artifact drills back then? Ha ha ha, it was really a fate yet to be completed! Speaking of which, isn’t there a Hydra Cannon, another semi-mechanical, semi-organic war machine?
In surprise, Da Fei hurriedly flipped through his War Machine Science textbook, reaching the last few pages to find God-level War Machine’s sub-skill: Human-Machine Integration!
— Human-Machine Integration: God-level War Machine sub-skill; 35% of the hero’s strategic attributes can apply to war machines.
This is the divine skill that turns the tides for War Machine Science, which couldn’t enjoy hero’s attribute bonuses, leading to weakness in later stages. So what happens when Primary Spirit Body encounters Human-Machine Integration? 35%+Primary Spirit Body bonus? Or does the higher effect cover the lower effect? If it’s the latter, then Primary Spirit Body can only be used by Vice Heroes.
In any case, no need to overthink it, first comprehend God-level, and as long as the machine keeps digging, comprehending God-level is just a matter of time. (To be continued.
