Chapter 70: The Astonishing Mechanical Maid (Please Subscribe! Please Vote!)

Li Yu had once seen the combat style of that so-called "Heavenly Pride Shang Yang" from the Holy Nest, though in terms of horror, it could not compare to things like the "vegetable people."

The level of brutality, however, was more than ten times greater; that death-ray cannon would fire, and the target would be instantly vaporized, leaving not even a scrap behind.

And right now, he was witnessing another method of combat used by flesh-mechanical zombies.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Commencing elimination of intruders!"

As the mechanical voice rang out, the two zombies each fused their arms, transforming them into cannon barrels wrapped in filthy flesh. Amidst a roar, spheres of scarlet plasma were fired, hitting several wild folk ahead with pinpoint accuracy.

Accompanied by muffled "thuds," the wild folk—who possessed thick fur, tough flesh and bone, and even some strange, eerie power—were blown apart instantly.

Fragments of flesh splattered across the sky; the scene was violent and nauseating.

Any chance to fight back?

Not even a little.

On the Ten Thousand Eerie Tundra, these wild folk existed in the form of tribes and nests.

There were distinctions in strength, and clearly, this group belonged to the weak.

Aside from chanting songs that caused dizziness and hallucinations, all they had were strong bodies comparable to mountain demons, capable of tearing tigers and leopards apart.

But these things were meaningless against mechanical zombies.

In the blink of an eye, all the wild folk were slaughtered by these two mechanical zombies, whose bodies were burning with blood-red flames.

This turn of events was abrupt!

When the slaughter began, Li Yu had originally wanted to drag Hong Dou into the cold mist and find another path to escape.

Unfortunately, there was simply no time.

The scanning range of the two mechanical zombies appeared to be extremely wide; they had discovered the pair halfway through.

Almost simultaneously, Li Yu had already entered a combat state.

In normal times, he looked like a handsome, unkempt youth.

But after spending these days in Ten Thousand Blessings City, coupled with the cultivation of the Elixir Disciple sequence, which was hardly normal, Li Yu's temperament had inevitably undergone some changes.

Without a second of hesitation, he reached into his bosom and directly selected a spirit elixir.

After pulling it out, it was a palm-sized wine gourd; he pulled the stopper and, without even looking, poured it into his mouth.

Sword Fiend Elixir!

When the sword pellet and the wine entered Li Yu's body at the same time.

Thousands of sharp sword Qi erupted, wandering through every inch of Li Yu's flesh and blood.

A terrifying torture began to ravage him.

"Beep, beep, beep... Intruder detected!"

"Commencing elimination!"

"Eliminate your grandfather!"

Along with the national essence from Li Yu's past life came streaks of visible, fierce sword light, which one-by-one neutralized all the incoming plasma bombs.

There was even some to spare, which slashed toward the two zombies.

Amidst the clanging sounds, their mechanical bodies remained unchanged, but the filthy flesh wrapped around the outer layer was shaved off piece by piece.

Seeing this, there was no joy on Li Yu's face.

Because at this moment, all the wild folk had been killed by the two mechanical zombies, and they turned their feet, charging straight toward Li Yu.

Their fearless, ferocious momentum easily crushed the sword light Li Yu had released.

It was easy to imagine what fate would befall Li Yu once they got close.

"Those three bastards were right; these stinking iron lumps called [Holy Blood Forbidden Guards], even if they die and are resurrected as zombies, their combat power drops significantly, yet slaughtering a Sequence Eight is still effortless."

"If these were alive, what would that be like?"

"For the Holy Nest to use this kind of stuff as smuggling soldiers, it's truly damn extravagant."

While cursing in his heart, Li Yu began to use the speed of a sword cultivator to circle around them.

At the same time, he used his eyes to signal Hong Dou to look at the extraordinary weapons clearly belonging to the Heavenly Craft Sect scattered among the wild folk's remains.

You could say they were a good pair of master and servant!

In fact, before Li Yu moved his eyes.

Hong Dou had already taken the first step, rushing toward the piles of shattered rotten meat, her mechanical voice automatically spilling out:

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Detected that Master is in a dangerous situation... high probability of being killed by unknown mechanical evil objects."

"Enabling all modules, calculating rescue plan."

"Detected usable weapons nearby... commencing retrieval."

"Retrieved one high-quality chainsaw sword, loaded, Master's survival probability increased by ten percent!"

"Screech... boom!"

This movement was precisely Hong Dou discarding her original chainsaw sword and replacing it with a new, high-quality one stained with filthy flesh; she moved almost like a flash, blocking a mechanical zombie for Li Yu.

This zombie had retracted its cannon barrel at some point, changing into a power warhammer, and had fully anticipated the trajectory of Li Yu's sword, swinging the hammer to intercept and kill Li Yu halfway, intending to crush him into meat paste.

Unfortunately, she was blocked by Hong Dou.

She used her exquisite body to jam the warhammer, and while turning to circle behind it, a teeth-grinding cutting sound immediately rang out; amidst sparks flying, one of the mechanical zombie's giant arms was cut off by Hong Dou.

As it crashed to the ground, Hong Dou reached into a pile of flesh not far away.

"Retrieved one high-quality melt-flame gun, loaded, Master's survival probability increased by twenty percent!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying purple-black flames suddenly erupted from the strangely shaped muzzle in Hong Dou's hand.

The Forbidden Guard zombie that was just about to turn around was hit squarely, and it happened to be its core location. Its rib area was burned straight through.

"Warning, warning... blood core accelerating combustion."

"Self-destruction imminent!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

When the mechanical voice reached ten, Hong Dou's exquisite mechanical body had already turned into an afterimage, stepping over piles of filthy flesh, rushing toward Li Yu, who was struggling with the second mechanical zombie and was about to be killed.

The latter revealed a look of heartache.

Clearly, he had decided to swallow his greatest combat reliance, the [Skin-Peeling Eerie Elixir].

There were only three in total; using one to fight mechanical zombies could not be more wasteful, as it was ineffective against them.

Li Yu was going to eat it!

In reality, it was to transform into a void-forbidden eerie state, so as to dodge the mechanical zombie's cannon muzzle, power greatsword, and that crushing giant strength.

However, before he could take action, a series of mechanical sounds suddenly came:

=9+Shu_Ba

"Retrieved two high-quality bolter guns, loaded, Master's survival probability increased by twenty percent."

"Retrieved one high-grade spirit energy stone, loaded, Master's survival probability increased by twenty percent."

"Target approached!"

"Master's survival probability, one hundred percent."

"Master, clear the attack path."

As the cold voice entered his ears, Li Yu subconsciously moved out of the way, which was equivalent to exposing his back to the mechanical zombie.

But the next moment, he was not hammered into the ground or blown into scraps by a plasma bomb.

The boom-boom-boom sounds moved from far to near; the mechanical zombie that was about to close in on Li Yu suddenly suffered a storm of explosive bullet attacks, its massive, powerful body being blown back several yards in succession.

Even more astonishing was the scene that followed:

As Hong Dou passed Li Yu, she happened to put away the two bolter guns in her hands, and with a light twist of her exquisite body, a chainsaw sword appeared and instantly slashed at the mechanical zombie's right shoulder.

At the same time, inside Hong Dou's body, scarlet steam with a faint fragrance sprayed out in waves.

Li Yu felt as if he could see the "high-grade spirit energy stone" she had just replaced being frantically squeezed and rapidly shrinking.

What this brought was immense strength.

Within that small doll-like body, a power even greater than that of the mechanical zombie erupted; following a burst of intense sparks, under Li Yu's incredulous gaze.

This second mechanical zombie was actually cut in two by Hong Dou.

However, there was no time for the two of them to observe more.

Not far behind them, before that loud sound even arrived, an explosive storm mixed with various fragments and rotten meat swept over first.

If it weren't for Hong Dou, who was now "fully armed," blocking in front of Li Yu once again.

His seemingly tough Elixir Disciple body would have been pierced with all sorts of mechanical fragments, power blade shards, and the like; even if he didn't die, he would have been severely injured.

Li Yu didn't even have time to express his amazement at his own maid!

At the same moment, in front of him, the mechanical zombie that had turned into two halves also began to count down:

"Warning, warning... blood core accelerating combustion."

"Self-destruction imminent!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

"Run!"

This pair of master and servant once again displayed astonishing tacit understanding.

Without even exchanging a greeting, they fled together.

In the process, Li Yu did learn from Hong Dou once, reaching out to scoop up some tattered wild folk skins and even some flesh organs from the filthy flesh on the ground.

After the two fled, all evidence in this area was also thoroughly destroyed, leaving behind only two giant craters.

……

In the outer region of the Ten Thousand Ghost Tundra, two "wild folk" covered in blood and emitting an extremely foul stench.

Were moving rapidly through the cold mist, and quite abnormally, heading in the direction of Wanfu City.

Along the way, if they encountered any unusual activity in the surroundings, these two wild folk would actually stop to conduct reconnaissance.

However, if one were to get closer, they would hear the slightly shorter and more petite wild folk spitting out, surprisingly, a mechanical voice:

"A battle is occurring five hundred zhang ahead, suspected to be an unknown mechanical evil entity and a human cultivator... detour recommended."

"What about the outcome?"

"The mechanical evil entity has the upper hand, the human cultivator's life aura is weakening... it has vanished."

"Detour!"

……

"A battle is occurring six hundred zhang ahead, still an unknown mechanical evil entity and two human cultivators."

"The human cultivators' life auras are disappearing, it is estimated they are all dead."

……

"A battle is occurring four hundred zhang ahead, suspected to be an unknown mechanical evil entity and a half-mechanical, half-human cultivator."

"The latter has the upper hand... beep beep beep, three new unknown mechanical evil entities are approaching."

"The battle has reversed, a total of three half-mechanical, half-human cultivators are about to die... it is estimated they are dead."

"The number of mechanical evil entities ahead is too high, they have not yet seen through the master's disguise, detour recommended."

……

These two special wild folk, amidst this stop-and-go detouring, wandered circuitously through the outer region of the tundra, inching closer to Wanfu City.

Along the way, through Hongdou's reconnaissance ability, Li Yu pieced together the fates of all other survivors of the crash, excluding himself, including those three mechanical evil cultivators.

Not a single one left!

All dead!
