Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

After bypassing a curtain of fire, the field of vision widened.

In front of him, the ground turned into metal, and a huge mechanical monster lay on the ground.

This monster has a ferocious shape, like an armored vehicle, loaded with firearms.

But at this time, the body of the car had disappeared, and only half of the front of the car was cut open, and the black iron-grade crystal core was exposed.

And at the wreckage at the front of the car.

Standing was a figure about one person tall, with the same metal body and a square screen on the head. The color and texture of the shell were exactly the same as those on the ground.

"This trip... was not in vain!"

Lu Cheng was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

When he saw the BOSS crystal core, he understood.

This scene was not unfamiliar to him.

This is what the Mechanical Explorers did before, killing the original BOSS first and occupying the spot in the monster wave.

Only this time, he witnessed half of what happened.

It seems that the monster sent by the ruins this time is the one in front of me.

Lu Cheng slowly approached in disguise.

True Sight is activated, and the attributes of the cube head are revealed.

…

[Pioneer of adaptive A-type machinery]

[Level 18, Black Iron BOSS]

[HP: 550,000/550,000]

[Physical attack: 0, Magic attack: 0, Physical defense: 200, Magic defense: 100]

[Characteristics: Technological Creation]

[Skill: None]

[Status: None]

…

"Um?"

He glanced at the detected properties.

Lu Cheng was a little surprised.

The attributes of this mechanical pioneer are too low, too low!

Except the blood volume is normal.

Physical attack, magic attack, physical defense, and magic defense are both ridiculously low.

Not to mention, there is only one characteristic and no skills at all!

Not to mention the level 18 Black Iron BOSS.

Even the level 13 Forgotten Armor has far more than these attributes!

Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

He doesn't care what the monster's attributes are.

The key thing is that the status column is also empty.

If you are not being summoned by the monster tide, you are not considered a BOSS in the monster tide!

At this moment, the mechanical pioneer started to move.

It picked up the BOSS crystal core, and characters jumped on the screen.

The smooth electronic synthesized sound sounded very weak.

Lu Cheng used his disguise to get closer and could barely hear clearly.

“￥ # %*（@#%……）”

"this……"

Lu Cheng's eyes twitched.

But soon, he could understand.

"...The translation module has been loaded, the second item, the monster wave authority is being stolen..."

The electronic sound that fell on his ears suddenly changed.

"Um?"

Lu Cheng thought for a moment.

You can talk to the mechanical explorer directly from the last time.

It seems that the translation module is also loaded.

The next moment, the electronic synthesized sound sounded again.

"The third item, the target module is loading..."

"Target locked, settlement No. 1024, confirmed as the target..."

"The fourth item, the task module is loading..."

"The highest priority task is to recover the [Lingtai Relics]..."

"Item 5: Insufficient combat power, adjusting to level..."

This electronic sound sounded.

The Mechanical Explorer's panel changes again.

The level has been reduced from level 18 to level 17!

"Um?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng raised his eyes.

In the second wave of monsters, there will also be no less than three types of monsters.

An eighteenth-level BOSS is enough to control the monster wave, but a seventeenth-level BOSS is not enough.

But this mechanical pioneer took the initiative to lower himself from level 18 to level 17...

It is equivalent to voluntarily giving up the position of sitting on the monster wave.

Moreover, it means listening to electronic synthesized sounds.

The reason is insufficient combat power.

"In other words... the final BOSS in this monster wave is stronger than it?"

Lu Cheng's mind was spinning.

"Item 6, the task module is loading..."

"The highest priority task is to recapture the [Lingtai Relics]..."

"Item 7, the combat module is loading..."

Listen to the electronic beeps.

Lu Cheng nodded in his heart.

Then, he stood up and waved the staff in his hand.

It's all loaded into the combat module, it would be disrespectful to listen to it again.

The meteor shower started, the fire splashed, and thirty flints roared out, blasting towards the mechanical pioneer.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Thirty rounds of flint hit accurately, and the mechanical pioneer's health bottomed out.

"Mechanical failure..."

The mechanical pioneer spit out the last electronic synthesized sound and fell to the ground.

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, you killed the Black Iron BOSS: Adaptive Type A Mechanical Pioneer, gained +40,000 experience points, and +7 source energy limit! 】

[You killed the Black Iron BOSS alone of the same level or above, and gained free attribute points +34! 】

[In the battle to defend the settlement, you killed the level 17 black iron BOSS: the Adaptive A-shaped Mechanical Pioneer, and gained +1700 combat merit, and the battle settlement reward increased significantly! 】

Withdrawing his staff, Lu Cheng looked at the metal ground in front of him.

All the original asphalt roads have been transformed into alloys.

"In my memory, there are no mechanical technology relics in the Northeast..."

Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

There are many types of ruins.

Surrounding materials are transformed into alloys, which are iconic relics of mechanical technology.

However, in his memory, there is no such mechanical technology settlement in the northeastern region of Daxia!

"Did it change its form after someone explored it?"

Lu Cheng guessed.

In the previous life, the northeastern region of Daxia fell very early.

Later, it was occupied by many parties for a time and was not recovered until the middle and late stages of the disaster.

It may be that during this period, the shape of the ruins changed, which deviated from his memory.

Although this situation is rare, it is not impossible.

He had seen it once in his previous life.

It was originally a relic from ancient times, but suddenly a spaceship with a full sense of technology was excavated from it.

Immediately, the nature of the ruins became ambiguous.

The ruins in front of me now are probably the same.

Following Lu Cheng's gaze.

On the metal road, a line of light curtains lit up.

…

[Sealing Array: In operation]

…

No more information than a simple hint.

Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

The external conditions of ruins of the same type were similar. Without entering the interior, he couldn't tell which ruin it was.

Since conventional means cannot identify it, we can only try the Source Energy Illustrated Book.

"refining."

Lu Cheng raised his hand.

A flash of light flashed past and sank into his body.

[Ding, if you successfully refine the Black Iron BOSS: Mechanical Pioneer (level 17), you will gain the upper limit of source energy +29, the upper limit of mana +56, and the agility +4. 】

[Ding, the number of sources included in the Source Energy Illustrated Book is +1. 】

Listen to the system sound in your ears.

Lu Cheng nodded slightly and checked the Source Energy Illustrated Book.

In the Source Energy Illustrated Book, the information about the mechanical pioneers was indeed included.

…

[1-turn illustrated book: 3 pictures]

…

[Pioneer of adaptive A-shaped machinery]

[Level 17, Black Iron BOSS. 】

[The mechanical creations produced in the Toya ruins can only be loaded with low-level intelligent modules, and their combat power is not as high as the stars. 】

…

At one glance, Lu Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

The origin of the mechanical pioneers was indeed marked in the Source Energy Illustrated Book!
