"Captain, attack from the left, watch out for evasive maneuvers."
"Roger."
A warning alert echoed in the chat channel from the Eagle-Headed Demon team mber.
With the left hand holding a Rock Shield and the right hand wielding a Power Barbarian Axe, the captain shouted furiously, decisively leaping to the right.
After rolling on the ground and getting up, the battle axe in his hand suddenly lifted up, the flas on the axe blade surged instantly.
Ahead, a repair robot was also raising its welding gun, directly aiming to stab.
The repair robot’s attack was originally going to hit the captain’s left shoulder before the battle axe struck.
However, the teammate attached to the captain’s chest activated the Binding Characteristics at this mont, forcefully fixing the repair robot in place, rendering it immobile.
Crack!
The battle axe, dragging a stream of golden flas, swept through, severing the welding gun from the repair robot’s hand, followed closely by a kick that sent the repair robot flying.
Then the captain raised the shield in his left hand abruptly to et the attack from another repair robot.
The shield collided with the chanical arm; the sound of tal shattering was heard, and the already damaged chanical arm was smashed against the Rock Shield, causing parts to fly everywhere.
Without hesitation, the captain swung the battle axe towards the repair robot on the right.
The flas dragged out a dazzling trail in the air; with the Power Barbarian Attribute activated, the axe blade hadn’t yet touched the machine when the high temperature already began lting so of its outer shell.
When the battle axe descended, the robot’s head was cleaved in half, emitting black smoke from the cut.
At this point, more robots erged from the passage, including a type of robot never seen before.
Decomposition swept across, and the robot’s information appeared in the players’ minds.
[Engineering Robot E4]
Hunting Level: 11
Target Description: dium-sized engineering robot equipped with multifunctional chanical arms and welding devices, responsible for architectural restoration and dium-to-large equipnt maintenance.
...
The dense energy beams attacked, and the captain positioned the Rock Shield vertically in front of him, blocking the entire offensive wave.
"Captain, I’m low on health, stop using as a shield."
"Got it."
Upon hearing Ah Lan’s reminder, the captain promptly retracted the shield from the front, lifted the battle axe, spun around, and swept across, fanning out the axe blade to repel several repair robots, and those touching the Power Barbarian Axe sent out piercing alarm sounds amid the flas.
"Can’t hold on anymore, there are many robots attacking from the front, Host retreat quickly!"
Upon hearing the Eagle-Headed Demon teammate’s call, the captain turned around without hesitation and began sprinting:
"Light Shield, Binding on top."
The teammate imdiately released the Light Shield to assist the captain’s retreat.
Whenever a robot approached, the Binding Soul would activate, restricting the approaching robots in place.
With a seamless collaboration, the captain successfully escaped, erging from the chanical Ruins tunnel into the wasteland area.
After sprinting for several hundred ters and looking back, there was no robot chasing behind.
Breathing heavily, the captain sat down on the ground, and the teammates returned to their original forms, canceling the fusion mode.
Although extrely exhausted, the smile on the players’ faces remained.
The facts proved that the fusion mode was incredibly powerful, allowing for level-advancing challenges.
The only downside was insufficient stamina.
As soon as a team mber entered low health status, they had to retreat quickly, otherwise, they could suffer losses that risk breaking the fusion mode prematurely.
"This combination mode is so strong, no wonder those Upper Realm Beings have such great minds." The captain looked at the exhausted Ah Lan with excitent.
"Captain, stop teasing ; I’m now just the lowest-level new player in the team." Ah Lan smiled and waved his hand.
"Haha, finally no need to compete for monsters with other players. This fusion mode entirely allows us to explore more dangerous areas; if only we could fix the stamina issue." Tu Bai sprawled on the ground, still in his usual relaxed resting posture.
During the idle chat, the topic switched to the newly discovered chanical Ruins tunnel.
The tunnel was located at the Newbie Village exit, 6 kiloters east.
The number of players on the nearby wasteland visibly decreased, and the competition for monsters wasn’t as fierce.
Generally, groups of more than 30 players could hunt here.
But with the fusion mode, they could easily fight here, achieving a hidden achievent of level-advancing hunting.
The newly discovered tunnel should lead to the chanical Ruins City.
Inside, apart from cleaning robots and repair robots, there were also stronger Engineering Robots.
The number of chanical monsters inside was large, and their combat power was strong.
Every ti they charged in to kill a few robots, they had to retreat quickly.
Otherwise, they could easily be surrounded, making escape difficult.
Besides the captain, the other team mbers hadn’t died once and all wanted to persist longer.
As physical strength was restored, the team got up and switched to their Life Soul Forms, and rged back with the captain.
This ti, they chose to continue exploring inside the tunnel.
The tunnel entrance was surrounded by twisted tal fraworks, rusted iron sheets covered in cracks, and the air was filled with a mixed scent of oil, rust, and damp earth.
Inside the tunnel, the walls were lined with complex pipes and cables, so of which had broken, exposing wire ends that flickered with sparks in the dim light.
The ground was scattered with shattered chanical parts, gears, bearings, and screws visible everywhere.
Occasionally, they could hear the screeching sound of so ancient machinery operating without lubricating fluid coming from the tunnel’s end.
Several long-extinguished lights hung from the tunnel ceiling, thick with accumulated dust on their covers, and occasionally a few water drops dripped from the cracks, with the walls marked by abundant welding graffiti, evidently left by repair robots.
