Chapter 432 Going to Investigate
At this moment, Luo Chen and the women appeared in a wooden house deep in the mountains. When Luo Chen saw this, he nodded to Chi Lian beside him.
After understanding Luo Chen's meaning, Chi Lian shouted loudly into the wooden house:
"Is Gongshu Chou inside?"
"Is Gongshu Chou inside?"
When Chi Lian shouted several times but saw no response from the wooden house, she drew her Chi Lian sword from her waist and carefully walked towards the house.
Just as Chi Lian had taken a few steps, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and a rain of arrows shot rapidly toward Chi Lian.
Upon seeing this, Chi Lian hurriedly swung her Chi Lian sword, transforming it into a long, thin iron whip, and forcefully struck the iron arrows in front of her into the ground.
But just as Chi Lian knocked down the iron arrows in front of her, another burst of iron arrows shot out from the surrounding iron pipes.
Just as Chi Lian knocked down the iron arrows in front of her, before she could even catch her breath, another volley of iron arrows shot rapidly toward her body.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen struck Chi Lian with a palm strike, knocking the iron arrows that were about to hit her body to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Chen swung his arm at the stones on the ground, and the stones quickly flew towards the iron pipes.
Just after Luo Chen finished this move, every single stone that flew out accurately blocked all the iron pipes that were firing iron arrows.
Upon seeing this, Chi Lian hurriedly came to Luo Chen's side and said to him with shame and remorse:
"Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Several muffled sounds suddenly rang out around Luo Chen and his companions, and rows of metal wire mesh appeared directly above their heads.
Upon seeing this, Chi Lian and Xue Nu leaped into the sky, slashing through the barbed wire above with their weapons before landing back beside Luo Chen.
At this moment, a pale-faced old man gradually emerged from the wooden hut. Upon seeing the destroyed mechanisms around him, he was utterly shocked and exclaimed in surprise to Luo Chen:
"Who are you? What business do you have with me?!"
Seeing that Gongshu Chou had finally come out of his room, Luo Chen stepped forward from behind the women and said to him:
"I'm here to help you, but also to help myself!"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Gongshu Chou's face showed a look of doubt, and he said in surprise:
"Oh? Then tell me how you're going to help me?"
"Ha ha"
Luo Chen laughed heartily and simply said to Gongshu Chou:
"The Mohist School, the Mechanical City!"
Now, anger gradually appeared on Gongshu Chou's face as he asked Luo Chen:
"Tell me what I need to do!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen began to whisper in Gongshu Chou's ear. When Gongshu Chou heard Luo Chen's words, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Gongshu Chou respectfully bowed to Luo Chen and excitedly said to him:
"Gongshu Chou awaits good news!"
After hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen laughed loudly and then led the women away from the mountain forest.
""
Now, Luo Chen and the women appeared at the foot of a high mountain. After seeing the mountain in front of him, Luo Chen revealed a cold look in his eyes.
At this moment, Duanmu Rong pointed her finger towards the mountains ahead and said to Luo Chen:
"Master, that mountain ahead is the Mechanized City. The entire interior of this mountain is filled with the Mechanized City's facilities, and after we travel a short distance forward, we will enter the Mechanized City's reconnaissance range!"
After hearing Duanmu Rong's words, Luo Chen nodded and said to Chi Lian and Xue Nu beside him:
"Tonight, the two of you will come with me to observe together!"
As Luo Chen finished speaking, he changed the subject and continued speaking to Shao Siming:
"Go and tell Gongshu Chou tonight to be ready at any time!"
After hearing Luo Chen's orders, the three women nodded and quietly waited with him.
Night quietly fell, and the nights in the mountains were always colder than in other places. After a gust of cold wind blew by, the Mo family disciples hurriedly made their clothes even more secure.
"You all say our Mo family's mechanical city is impregnable, so how could anyone have managed to breach it!"
"If you ask me, what you said makes sense, but our Mo family's mechanical city is so well hidden that even if they searched for it, they probably wouldn't be able to find it!"
""
Several disciples of the Mohist school were chatting idly to pass the long night, but unbeknownst to them, several black shadows were rapidly rushing towards them.
As the black shadows passed by the Mohist disciples, the disciples fell to the side without making a sound.
After killing the Mo family disciples, Luo Chen, Chi Lian, and Xue Nu carefully began to observe the surrounding area.
When Luo Chen and the others carefully walked to the stone door next to the cave, Luo Chen stopped and carefully looked around.
After searching for a while, Luo Chen helplessly said to Chi Lian and Xue Nu:
"You two stay here and keep watch carefully, I'm going upstairs to take a look!"
Just after Luo Chen finished speaking, he flashed and quickly flew up to the top of the mountain.
From a distance, unless you look closely, it's almost impossible to see a black figure on the side of the mountain, like a ghost, flying rapidly towards the top of the mountain.
As Luo Chen paused, he landed on a large tree nearby. Looking at the dim candlelight in the distance, Luo Chen flashed and flew quickly toward the direction of the candlelight.
Looking at the glittering hole in the ground, Luo Chen began to ponder:
"So this is the Mo family's reservoir!"
Chapter 433 Entering the Mechanical City
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen gradually took a green bottle out of his clothes, removed the stopper from the bottle, and carefully poured the contents into it.
After doing all this, Luo Chen's figure flashed and he quickly flew down from the top of the mountain. Chi Lian and Xue Nu, who had been waiting quietly in front of the stone gate, respectfully came to Luo Chen's side after seeing him fly down from the mountain.
After seeing her children, Luo Chen nodded and said to them:
"Alright, let's go and wait for Gongshu Chou to arrive!"
After saying this, the three shadows vanished from their original spot in a flash, and appeared in front of Duanmu Rong and Gao Yue in just a moment.
When Luo Chen saw that Shao Siming had already brought Gongshu Chou, Luo Chen slowly walked towards Gongshu Chou and said to him:
"The matter has been investigated and clarified. Now all you need to do is destroy the Mo family's mechanisms, how about that?"
At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared on Gongshu Chou's face. He seemed to want to say something to Luo Chen, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Seeing the complicated expression on Gongshu Chou's face, Luo Chen said impatiently to Gongshu Chou:
"Just say what's on your mind!"
At this moment, Gongshu Chou slowly spoke to Luo Chen and the others:
"That's how it is. I'm getting old now. Although I remember every single mechanism in the Mo family's mechanical city clearly, there are some mechanisms that I simply can't destroy because of my physical condition!"
Upon hearing what this was all about, Luo Chen said to Gongshu Chou:
"It's alright, as long as you remember which mechanism it is, I'll go in with you!"
After hearing Luo Chen's words, Gongshu Chou nodded and pointed behind him, saying to Luo Chen:
"There is a river in the direction of that back mountain, and the bottom of this river leads to the core of the Mechanical City!"
After saying this, Gongshu Chou walked in that direction. Seeing this, Luo Chen said to the women around him:
"You all wait for me here, wait for my signal. After I destroy all the mechanisms in the mechanical city, I will give you a message! In the meantime, you must not make any rash moves."
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the women hurriedly nodded, indicating that they understood.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen flashed and quickly chased after Gongshu Chou. When he saw Gongshu Chou walking slowly below, Luo Chen simply lifted him up and ran towards the place Gongshu Chou had mentioned.
Gradually, Luo Chen and Gongshu Chou appeared before a mirror-like lake. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen released Gongshu Chou from his grasp and asked him:
"Is this the place you're looking for?"
After hearing Luo Chen's words, Gongshu Chou slowly walked forward, glanced around, and then excitedly said to Luo Chen:
"That's it! This is it. Once we enter this underwater area, we can directly reach the control center of the Mechanical City!"
Upon hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen jumped into the lake without hesitation. Seeing that Luo Chen had entered the lake, Gongshu Chou also quickly jumped in.
Despite the icy lake water, Luo Chen felt no discomfort and continued to move quickly in the direction led by Gongshu Chou.
As Luo Chen and his companions continued forward, a huge metal machine appeared at the bottom of the lake. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen stopped and waited for Gongshu Chou to arrive.
After Gongshu Chou arrived at Luo Chen's side, he placed his hands on the compass and began to twist it repeatedly.
After Gongshu Chou turned the compass, a powerful suction force pulled Gongshu Chou and Luo Chen's bodies directly into the lake with the water.
"puff"
After spitting out the lake water from their mouths, the two slowly climbed out of the lake to a shore. Once ashore, Gongshu Chou whispered to Luo Chen:
"That's it! This is the central hub of the Mechanical City!"
After hearing Gongshu Chou's words, Luo Chen looked around and began to look around. After Gongshu Chou finished speaking, he slowly started to walk forward.
When Gongshu Chou arrived in front of the huge stone tablet, he took out a black metal object from his clothes and placed it in the recessed area of the stone tablet.
Just after Gongshu Chou placed it on the stone tablet, the huge stone door next to it gradually opened. Upon seeing this, Gongshu Chou said to Luo Chen:
"Okay, let's go in!"
After saying this, Gongshu Chou led Luo Chen inside.
When Gongshu Chou and Luo Chen entered the secret chamber at the same time, the scene inside the huge chamber came into Luo Chen's view.
Upon seeing the two rows of tall stone statues before him, Gongshu Chou said to Luo Chen:
"See that giant spider up ahead? There's a key hanging from its mouth. You just need to take that key down. But when you take that key down, all the mechanisms in this secret room will be activated, and we'll have to get through this secret room in a very short time."
After hearing Gongshu Chou finish speaking, Luo Chen grabbed Gongshu Chou and quickly rushed towards the giant spider in front of him.
Upon seeing the key in the mechanical spider's mouth, Luo Chen immediately put Gongshu Chou aside and leaped onto the giant spider.
With a forceful tug, the key that had been hanging in the spider's mouth appeared in Luo Chen's palm. At that moment, the giant spider seemed to come back to life, rapidly waving its sharp claws and slashing at Luo Chen's body.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen swiftly leaped off the giant spider's body. The spider, seeing Luo Chen's landing, brandished its sharp claws and charged towards him.
A surge of internal energy gradually gathered in Luo Chen's palm. Seeing the spider rushing towards him, Luo Chen directly channeled his internal energy into the metal claws.
Chapter 434 Effortlessly
"Ding!"
With a crisp metallic sound, it fell to the ground, and the huge metal spider, missing a metal leg, crashed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen tossed the key in his hand into Gongshu Chou's hand, and then leaped onto the spider's body.
With a loud thud, Luo Chen stomped heavily on the spider's head. In Luo Chen's palm, a pale red internal force gradually condensed.
At this moment, Luo Chen struck the spider's metal head with his palm, and the internal force from Luo Chen's hand gradually spread into the metal spider's body.
After Luo Chen unleashed his palm strike, he instantly appeared beside Gongshu Chou. Gongshu Chou, seeing Luo Chen leap to his side, stared intently at the metal spider behind Luo Chen, and said to him with a hint of panic:
"That, that spider..."
Just as Gongshu Chou finished speaking, the giant spider collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, remaining motionless.
Upon seeing this, Gongshu Chou gaped in disbelief, his mouth agape. In his memory, when had the Mo family's mechanisms become so fragile?
At this moment, after seeing Gongshu Chou's shocked gaze, Luo Chen calmly said to him:
"Be careful!"
Just as Luo Chen finished speaking, he grabbed Gongshu Chou's body and rushed towards the stone statue in front of him.
When Luo Chen and Gongshu Chou entered the stone statue, the statue seemed to begin to move, constantly swinging its weapon downwards.
In contrast, Luo Chen rushed forward like lightning. Just as the huge longsword was about to slash down on Luo Chen, he did not flinch and instead struck the sword with his own hand.
The longsword that was about to strike down flew directly from the stone statue's hand after Luo Chen's attack. In just a few breaths, Luo Chen led Gongshu Chou through the stone statue's formation.
Upon seeing this, Gongshu Chou slowly wiped the cold sweat from his face and walked towards the stone hole in front of him with lingering fear.
