Farusan nodded in agreement: "I won't attack the ruins guards unless necessary. A hundred years ago, when I was exploring the ruins, I would try to avoid these big guys as much as possible. If I couldn't avoid them, I would set traps."
"I haven't fought any of these big guys since I obtained the Eye of God."
Chen Bo wiped his sweat.
They've already dealt with the Relic Guardians without even having the Eye of God. Those predecessors are truly formidable.
Ten minutes later, in a valley.
"boom--!"
A massive fireball erupted from Farusan's palm, striking precisely the core of the Ruins Guardian.
Amidst the deafening explosion, the several-meter-tall mechanical monster staggered backward and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Your mech is quite powerful; it's more than enough to deal with the Ruins Guardians."
Before the energy was purified, Chen Bo's mecha was already capable of dealing with the Relic Guardians. After the energy was purified five times, its combat power increased even more dramatically.
While Farusan was dealing with the Relic Guardian, Chen Bo rushed towards another Relic Guardian.
The electromagnetic detonator slammed down hard.
"Lie down!"
Using the thrust of the propulsion unit, Chen Bo exerted force from his waist and slammed the hammer hard into the knee joint of the ruins guard.
"Sizzle"
A piercing metallic creaking sound rang out, accompanied by the crackling of electricity.
The Relic Guardian's sturdy alloy legs deformed under the blow, rendering it unable to move. Subsequently, the entire Relic Guardian lost its balance and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Next, it's time to bombard the core.
Chen Bo immediately launched his attack.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
With each hammer blow, large sections of the parts deform.
Chen Bo's current fighting style can be summed up in one sentence: simple and brutal. He found fighting with floating cannons before to be not satisfying at all.
Close-quarters combat is still much more exciting.
Soon, the aftershocks of the battle subsided in the valley.
Several pieces of the remains of the ruins guarding the site lay scattered on the ground.
Their bodies were all bent over, clearly indicating that they had been hit hard.
After upgrading his armor, Chen Bo also gained the power to instantly kill ordinary ruin guards.
Basically, one hammer blow would break the guardian of the ruins.
Chen Bo piloted the mecha, kicked one of the still-twitching mechanical legs with his toe, looked at the scrap metal scattered on the ground, and shook his head in dissatisfaction: "Too fragile, and too slow."
"The mech's limits cannot be fully tested; the new armor needs new opponents to test it."
If the scholars of the Order of the Church, who would form a squad just to deal with a single Relic Guardian, heard these words, they would probably be so angry they'd vomit blood on the spot, saying, "Are you in Versailles?"
But for Chen Bo, it was truly the truth.
The energy core, purified by the "Earth Vein Centrifuge," has boosted the mech's combat power by more than one level.
With the added power of the electromagnetic shock hammer, dealing with these ordinary ruin guards is utterly pointless.
This feeling is like driving a heavy tank to crush zombies. It's exhilarating, but it always feels like something's missing; it lacks challenge.
Farusan, standing next to her, deactivated her mecha form and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Anil, pride makes one fall behind. Even before I had the Eye of God, I was already able to handle these guys."
Although Farusan said that, the admiration in her eyes was unmistakable.
Wow, you've made such rapid progress!
Chen Bo was talking to Naxida.
"Nasita, are you there?"
"I've always been here."
Nasita's image appeared on the screen in the void.
Chen Bo inquired, "Are there any more powerful machines around here? Like—the Relic Heavy Machine or something? I want to test how powerful this mech is at its strongest."
He needs stronger opponents to collect combat data, and understanding his own strength is also very important.
"A relic heavy machine?" Nasita began to use the void to search: "Hmm, found it. There is indeed a big machine in a dormant state, three kilometers to the southeast in a mountain valley."
The next second, a bright red marker lit up in Chen Bo's vision of the void.
"Its energy is more than eight times that of a normal guard, it's extremely dangerous, you must be careful," Nasita warned.
Eight times!
Chen Bo's eyes lit up instantly; this was indeed a formidable opponent.
He looked at Farusan and extended an invitation: "Senior, the warm-up is over. There's a Relic Heavy Machine over there, would you be interested in taking a challenge?"
Farusan raised an eyebrow.
She restarted her mecha, butterfly-like wings unfurled on her back, and she floated into the air.
"Alright, senior, you'll keep your student company today."
"Just follow me." Chen Bo smiled, and his thrusters emitted a pale red flame as he flew in the direction Nasita indicated.
Two mechs, one in front of the other, streaked across the rainforest sky like streaks of light.
The distance was indeed very short; we arrived just by accelerating.
This is a secluded mountain valley, surrounded by steep cliffs, with overgrown weeds at the bottom. It is necessary to avoid starting a fire during the battle.
Right in the corner where we were hiding, there lay a huge thing.
Its size was several times larger than that of ordinary ruins guards, and its thick mechanical limbs were imposing.
The thickness and texture of the armor have also been enhanced by more than one layer.
The ruins of the heavy machinery!
Chen Bo turned to Farusan beside him and quickly proposed a tactic: "Senior, your mech has high mobility, so you'll be responsible for containing its long-range firepower in the air. I'll use the electromagnetic shock hammer to handle close-range attacks and break through its defenses. What do you think?"
"Okay," Farusan agreed succinctly.
However, facing a formidable opponent, Farusan also became serious.
Subsequently, Chen Bo awakened the guardian of the ruins.
The massive single eye of the Relic Heavy Machine instantly glowed with a scarlet light, and accompanied by a creaking roar, its mountain-like heavy mechanical arm slowly rose, assuming a combat stance.
The ground beneath its feet suddenly sank, and its massive body transformed into a cannonball, charging straight toward Chen Bo.
"Well done!"
Instead of retreating, Chen Bo advanced and met them head-on.
Just as the two were about to collide, Chen Bo maneuvered his mech to slide sharply to the side, narrowly avoiding the collision.
At the same time, several elemental projectiles fired from the floating cannons on his back, accurately striking the feet of the Relic Heavy Machine.
However, the guards did not react.
Oh no, I was fooled by the game mechanics. When this thing's legs light up, it's not a weakness at all.
Or perhaps my floating cannons were too weak, having little effect on the outer armor and thus failing to cause internal energy disturbances or greater damage.
Farusan also took to the air, using her mecha-clad hand to draw her bow and fire several wind element arrows, aiming at the back and head of the Relic Heavy Machine from various tricky angles.
Farusian still prefers to attack using her Eye of God.
Farusan remained within the sights of the Relic Heavy Machines, directly drawing their fire.
