Chapter 94: The Hidden Entrance of the Commercial Dungeon
Zhou Chu already had a plan in his heart.
Since they wanted to play this game of cat and mouse, he would play along and toy with them properly.
He silently observed Tu Shu's movements from within the void, calculating his next actions in his mind.
For now, he wanted to have some fun with this old butler of the He Family.
At this moment, Tu Shu was walking cautiously toward the deeper parts of the Copy, the Soul Power Tracker in his hand kept active at all times, not letting a single potential signal fluctuation slip by.
As he walked, he kept a vigilant eye on the movements around him.
After all, there were many monsters in this Copy, even though he had modified the Copy's mechanics so that he wouldn't truly die.
But it would still be unpleasant if he were entangled or killed by the monsters.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chu, accompanied by Xina and Xiduo, followed not far behind Tu Shu, moving silently with the help of Void Power.
Tu Shu continued to venture deep into the Copy, encountering several waves of mechanical monsters along the way.
But perhaps because he had modified the Copy's mechanics in advance, these monsters stood there like wooden chickens, with no intention of attacking him at all.
The benefit of a Commercial Dungeon is that the operator can modify everything within the Copy at any time according to their needs.
Therefore, if this were a Demon Cave in the Calamity Land, even if this Tu Shu were powerful, he would find it hard to escape death!
Next, Zhou Chu noticed that besides the Soul Power Tracker, Tu Shu also carefully took out an object that looked like a Compass.
He saw him manipulate the Compass a few times, and those monsters became very obedient and stopped moving.
This must be the item used to modify the Copy's mechanics.
Watching Tu Shu explore the Copy from within the void, Zhou Chu couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
Just as the old man stopped to catch his breath, he suddenly felt that the surrounding air had become somewhat strange.
A faint chill struck from behind, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Who?!" Tu Shu turned around abruptly, simultaneously pulling out a strangely shaped short blade from behind his back, watching his surroundings vigilantly.
However, he saw nothing; the surroundings remained filled with pale purple mist and the dilapidated factory area, with no other movement.
Tu Shu felt suspicious in his heart.
Because he had clearly felt a trace of heavy Calamity Aura, yet it had vanished without a trace the moment he turned around.
"Could it be that I'm too nervous? Am I hallucinating?" he pondered to himself.
Just as he turned to continue moving forward, that Calamity Aura struck again, and this time it was even more obvious.
He could even feel a pair of eyes staring tightly at him from the shadows, but no matter how hard he tried to search, he could not see the other party's figure.
"This... what exactly is going on?" A trace of fear couldn't help but arise in Tu Shu's heart.
This was his own Commercial Dungeon; although some Source Stone containing Calamity Aura had been used during its construction, it was impossible to actually attract Calamity Forces.
Tu Shu stood in place for a while, trying to calm himself down.
After taking a deep breath, he gripped the short blade, which resembled a Nepalese kukri, and continued walking forward.
In his view, he was just being too sensitive.
He might have listened to too much news about Calamity Invasion in the last few days, making him a bit paranoid.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chu, who was in the void, kept manipulating the Void Power, letting that chill linger around Tu Shu like a shadow, just to make him feel this inexplicable fear and pressure.
"Enjoy the feeling of being watched while unable to find the other person." The smile at the corner of Zhou Chu's mouth grew more pronounced.
Tu Shu continued to move forward in the Copy; although his steps remained cautious, one could clearly see that he was agitated.
Every few steps, he would look back involuntarily.
Following that, he walked for another stretch and finally arrived at the last area of the Copy.
Several huge mechanical devices stood here; those devices looked as if they had been abandoned for a long time, covered in rust and dust, but one could still feel the powerful energy they had once emitted.
Tu Shu stopped in front of these mechanical devices. He first looked around vigilantly, then took out the Compass-like object from his hand and began to perform some operations on the mechanical devices.
The needle on the Compass spun rapidly, emitting a faint light, which gradually enveloped the mechanical devices.
Those originally dead mechanical devices actually began to operate slowly, emitting a low, rumbling sound.
Huge gears began to turn with chains, and the whole scene looked quite shocking.
"What on earth is this old guy doing?" Zhou Chu was full of doubts, squinting his eyes as he observed those mechanical devices.
Not long after the mechanical devices started running, a much larger mechanical monster slowly rose from within the devices.
Compared to the ones encountered before, this monster was several times larger, its metal shell looked thicker and harder, and it radiated a dark golden metallic luster.
The big metal guy in front of him looked like a giant gorilla.
It's an Iron King Kong!
Zhou Chu was dumbfounded for a moment.
【Calamity Mechanical Behemoth】 (A-Rank BOSS)
【Level: 30】
【Blood Value:】
【Attack Power: 3500】
【Skills: Destruction Laser, Steel Storm, Gravity Crush】
【Description: A giant Mechanical Intelligent Being deeply infected by Calamity Power, possessing extremely powerful destructive force.】
Seeing these giant mechanical beasts appear, Tu Shu did not show any panic on his face; instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but nod.
Immediately after, Tu Shu operated the Compass in his hand a few more times.
The originally dull eyes of the iron behemoth in front of him emitted two rays of red light, and as its mouth opened and closed, it made a thunderous sound.
"Detestable intruder! How dare you enter the territory of a Psionicist! I will crush you!"
The mechanical behemoth clapped its two steel hands together with a clanging sound, its gaze fixed on Tu Shu in front.
But the next moment, Tu Shu operated the Compass a few more times again,
The light in the eyes of this mechanical giant beast suddenly dimmed, as if its power supply had been cut off, and it stood blankly on the spot, no longer moving.
This Compass could actually silence the boss.
It seems that everything in this Copy can be controlled according to the operator's will simply by manipulating that Compass.
This made Zhou Chu develop a keen interest in it.
Just then, he saw Tu Shu operate the Compass a few more times, and accompanied by a few rumbling sounds, a massive steel gate slowly rose in front of the giant beast.
Then, this huge iron gate slowly opened, revealing a deep blue portal inside.
Zhou Chu's eyes lit up the instant he saw this portal.
So, there was a hidden entrance in this Copy.
He wondered where this hidden entrance actually led.
Zhou Chu could tell that when Tu Shu looked at this portal, he seemed to be somewhat hesitant.
He was likely considering whether to enter or not.
Such behavior from Tu Shu made Zhou Chu feel even more certain that there must be some unknown secret inside this entrance.
After all, following him all the way to such a distant place just to scare him was truly meaningless.
It was time to invite this old butler to go out and take a rest.
Thus, Zhou Chu stepped through the void, quickly arrived behind Tu Shu, and the Void Blade in his hand suddenly struck at the other's back.
Tu Shu clearly had no defense at all and was killed instantly.
At the same time, the Compass in his hand also fell to the ground.
