Wasteland Echoer

"Mechanical Spirit...Light of the Mechanical Spirit!" Luo Nie shouted, breathing heavily, his body covered with small scratches from sharp objects, and traces of blood oozing out.

At this moment, he was leaning next to a nearly withered oak tree, with his hands folded into fists and thrust forward. The bright light was like dancing sparks, constantly running in front of his hands and arms, like the sparks emitted by machinery operating at high speed.

Looking at the light in the surrounding darkness, its concentration was never comparable to the last time at the "Wilderness Tourist Group" base. Luo Nie had no choice but to continue to form spirits, condensing the magic source power belonging to the vegetation all over his body, and pouring as much into it as possible .

Even though the sound of mechanical operation and friction constantly filled his ears, what made him feel desperate and powerless was that the darkness around him, which was getting stronger and closer to the long night, suppressed this pitiful and sad feeling with an almost perfect posture. light.

The sparks continued to overflow and the energy continued to gather, but the "Light of the Mechanical Spirit" always remained a chaotic color between dim yellow and white, unable to go any further.

This usually means that there is a problem with the energy conversion of the machine. For the apostles of the "Lord of Machinery", Luo Nie can feel that there are some powers that believe in "Machinist" around. The brilliance given by these "Lord of Machinery" cannot be Suppressing them can only buy him a little space for possible escape.

The former Luo Nie, before acquiring the [personality] given by the "Daughter of Mechanical Elements", was indeed a "mechanical body" that was not afraid of harm and had a steel skeleton. As long as the two centers at the brain and heart were not fatal, Despite the blow, his broken body can still be restored by devouring scrap metal.

However, [personality] gave him the right to be born as a human being, and naturally deprived him of his mechanical hardness. While giving him "inspiration" and "wisdom", he also gave him the core of "pain" that humans cannot reach and surpass.

The absolute hardness of the body was replaced by the complete sublimation of the spirit, which made Luo Nie unable to be strong and was forced to reach the current embarrassing situation.

Finally, enveloped by the light, the enemy on the opposite side began to be affected and slowly retreated. Luo Nie understood that the explosion caused by the special grenade he had thrown away just now and the surging "light of the mechanical spirit" could not destroy it, but the human army was stationed not far from the "man-made lake". As long as there was more noise, etc. If people come, they may escape.

Thinking of this, the light in Luo Nian's hand, who had some hope in his heart, became a little brighter. Taking a deep breath, he chose to push forward suddenly. Countless lights danced, forming a small one that was closer to Crusted Wind. Rocket launcher.

As he roared, a bright beam of light struck directly at the enemy target directly in front.

Sizzle-sizzle-boom!

The transformed light pillar of the "Light of the Mechanical Spirit" hit the enemy surrounded by darkness, and the huge high-temperature impact blasted out a layer of red-hot burning area on the surface of the enemy's steel skin.

The remaining light happened to dispel the surrounding darkness, causing it to disappear together with the afterglow of the "Light of the Mechanical Spirit".

It was only then that Luo Nie, whose eyes were bleeding due to excessive force, could clearly see the appearance of the "monster" in front of him.

It is at least three meters tall. Although it is not as big and terrifying as the "hair ball" monster seen on Route 62 in the Zine Empire many years ago, it is powerful enough, and it is powerful enough to know that it cannot be matched.

The monster had a canine-like head. Under the light, it glowed with a little "cat's eye" light and a metallic color. The eyes seemed to be wearing a pair of goggles connected to the body, emitting a frightening dark red light. The mouth was split and the beak was slightly longer, revealing sharp canine teeth hung with carrion tissue.

However, the neck connected to this "mechanical dog head" monster is a real canine, covered with a layer of black fur that is more like a wolf.

From the upper body point of view, this monster seems to be mutated or transformed from a dog, but its chest, abdomen and legs are truly human, or closer to the category of "Heartless Man" or "Alien Monster".

He has six arms and arms that are extremely strong and have muscles that are almost beyond human cognition. Each arm has tattoos printed with some phonetic characters that Luo Nie cannot understand. In addition, there are also tattoos on each arm. As the heart beats and almost breaks through the flesh, the blue-black blood vessels are meandering and attached to it, giving the knotted muscles a layer of decoration that makes people uncomfortable.

Looking from the bottom up, Ronai vaguely felt as if he had encountered a god who was in charge of the incarnation of justice formed by the intersection of civilizations belonging to Khitanris and some areas in the southern part of the Central Empire that Igor had told him.

But the glowing blue mechanical heart on the left chest of the "mechanical dog-headed" monster in front of him is enough to confirm his identity. At least, it has been infected by the "Wuxinren" virus and has long lost its self-awareness. It has fallen into or... Being controlled, or caught up in the frenzy of the feeding instinct.

The "Light of Mechanical Spirit" released by Luo Nie just now did cause a certain degree of trouble to the "Mechanical Dog-Headed" monster, but just as its mechanical heart ran at high speed for a few seconds, the blue blood was replaced by Hot and red "burning liquid".

After only circulating throughout the body for a few seconds, the red area burned by the light beam quickly cooled and healed. Under the mechanical energy continuously transmitted by the metal lines covering the skin connecting all parts of the body, a layer of weak, Ice crystals glowing with blue fluorescence covered the human parts of the monster, forming a tool like mechanical armor to resist the scorching heat.

"Oops!" Seeing that the "mechanical dog-headed" monster came up with countermeasures, Luo Nie, who was almost unable to move his body, still forced the last remaining magic power in his body to surge, just as the monster's fist hit his head. Quickly raise the shield formed by the "Light of the Mechanical Spirit" to resist.

boom!

The dull sound of metal collision passed through the ears of the two people. Soon, the huge force penetrated the oak through Luo Nie's body. The second before it collapsed and hit Luo Nie, he used the "mechanical The second punch of the "dog-headed monster" was sent flying straight away by the force. After drawing a bloody arc in the air, it fell heavily next to an abandoned old imperial standard mechanical chariot.

"Ouch——!" The "mechanical dog-headed monster" looked up to the sky and howled happily, seeming to be celebrating a victory that originated from ancient times and belonged to the present.

Rank 11 represented by the monster: "The Machine Maker", and Luo Nie's original master No. 6: "Lord of Machinery" are incompatible enemies. Faced with the blood vomiting from the mouth, his eyes gradually dimmed, but Luo Nie, who was still barely supporting his body that had exhausted its magic power, stood up. The "mechanical dog-headed" monster seemed to be admiring a beautiful picture of a loser, allowing its crocodile-like mechanical tail to beat the body covered in ice crystal armor.

It made a blasphemous and joyful tinkling sound and took heavy steps, like a huge piece of rotting meat that had been transformed by machinery. It exuded a stench like grease from the rotting body, as well as the unique difficulty caused by corrosion of the machinery. Smelling the breath, he headed towards Luo Nie with the breath of death and darkness.

The monster's pace was very slow, but each step seemed to penetrate the thick and solid earth and reach the hot lava area deep in the core of the earth.

Just when the "mechanical dog-headed" monster was less than five meters away from Luo Nie, and was about to bend down, trying to crush Luo Nie's body with its heavy soles, he finally managed to half squat, revealing his "white" teeth soaked in blood. He shouted in despair:

"Creator... my god... the great... master of machines... I cannot... die in the hands of machines and monsters... the machine belongs to you... hateful fate... it does not belong to me...' The daughter of the Mechanical Yuan gave me [personality] under your instruction, can you... bear to watch me die on the... ice field of Crusted?"

After saying the last word, he felt that his physical strength had reached the limit. Luo Nie, who was almost fainting, closed his eyes helplessly. However, he did not feel any pain when the huge bombardment sound came out.

After slowly opening his eyes, Luo Nie confirmed that his prayer seemed to have achieved results.

The "mechanical dog-headed" monster that was showing off its power just now was knocked away by the sudden attack. After knocking down several big trees, it barely managed to stabilize itself and fell to the ground.

Slowly holding on to the mechanical chariot with only its frame left, Luo stood up and observed carefully that the chest of the "mechanical dog-headed" monster, that is, the heart, had been penetrated directly. The heart that controls the body seemed to have been melted by the violent attack just now. Has long since disappeared.

Turning around, the person who launched the attack seemed to be the "KLSD-22" rocket launcher, which was carried on the shoulders of the nearly two-meter-tall man belonging to the "Federal Army" in front of him. It is a portable rocket launcher characterized by its absolute power and light portability. arms.

Before Luo Nie had time to say thank you, a young man wearing a "thin" ancient Cruz German style robe behind the tall man used the surrounding trees as a springboard and soared into the air, condensing a ball of blazing heat with his hands, like a miniature sun. The fireball-like fireball suddenly headed towards the missing heart of the "mechanical dog-headed" monster that was still struggling.

Immediately, the gray-eyed young man behind the tall man, who was also wearing the cotton combat uniform of the Crusted Federation Army, quickly ran forward while forming a spirit.

The moment the flames filled the hollow, a cone of ice condensed and pierced into it.

With a dull "pop" sound, the remaining heart was completely destroyed. At the same time, the ice crystal armor attached to the "Mechanical Dog Head" monster melted instantly, and the winding blood vessels and metal substances also completely dimmed, along with the monster's body. The body no longer moved.

The three people who rescued Luo Nie did not leave immediately. Instead, they slowly walked to Luo Nie and helped him when he was about to fall to the ground. The "young man" who seemed to be the thinnest among them introduced himself:

"You are Luo Nie, right? A former machine body closely related to the evil god 'Echoer'. Meeting here is fate, and it is also the 'reason' of the Lord of Machines that saves you. Hello, my name is Abena, The 'leader' of the 'Order Society' is 'Zhi Zhan'. You must have met these two. This big guy is named Wulfya. He is a strong human [warrior]. The one who was summoned by the 'Echoer' The young man in the dreamland, Dark Tillis."

After finishing speaking, Abena raised the corners of his mouth and showed a proud smile. Seeing that Luo Nie did not express any expression due to exhaustion, he continued to speak in Chinese:

"u.ue selike, din shikmis endished (Chinese language)"
