I Have A City In An Alternate World

2512 Metal puppet (1)

Facing Allie’s gratitude, Tang Zhen gently nodded his head, but his expression became a little solemn.

He was only using Ellie for an experiment. Although it sounded full of malice, it would only be good for Ellie.

As for Allie’s gratitude, Tang Zhen didn’t take it to heart at all. With his identity and knowledge, why would he care about such a small thing?

What really moved Tang Zhen was that Ellie had become a cultivator by swallowing blood essence. This meant that the rules of the world had changed greatly, and he was caught off guard.

if this secret were to spread, the natives would definitely go crazy. Even if they had to risk their lives, they would still try to become cultivators!

Ordinary civilians did not have this ability, but the rich and powerful, as well as those adventurers, had the opportunity to obtain blood essence.

Tang Zhen was very clear about how great the temptation of becoming a cultivator was. As long as there was an opportunity, no one would easily miss it.

As for hiding the secret, it was simply impossible. Since the rules allowed the natives to become cultivators through this method, they would definitely use various ways to let the natives know.

It wouldn’t take long for this to become an open secret. The natives who couldn’t resist the temptation would also participate in the snatching of the monsters.

Tang Zhen suddenly felt a trace of urgency when he thought of this. It seemed like he had to hurry up and raise his strength.

After making up his mind, Tang Zhen looked at Allie and said in a gentle tone, you don’t have to think about how to repay me. You just have to work hard to improve your strength. If you can do it, you might be able to help me at the critical moment.

Allie had nothing to say. She could only nod and make up her mind.

After chatting with Ellie for a while, Tang Zhen turned his head to look at the bone, indicating that he was prepared to head to the underground tomb.

After the clearing, the originally sealed passage had been opened, and they could enter at any time.

That bone nodded to show that he understood. As long as it didn’t delay the cooperation plan, Tang Zhen had the right to arrange his own itinerary.

do you want me to send someone to follow the operation? after all, it’s not safe there, and it’s hard to guard against monster attacks.

The bone’s expression was grave as it recalled some bad memories.

there’s no need. I have more freedom when I’m alone. If others follow me, they’ll be more restrained.

Li te laughed awkwardly when he heard this. Even though he was beside Tang Zhen, he still had a feeling that he could not follow his heart.

In a dangerous environment, this would only become a burden and not provide much help.

“After I leave, you must continue to keep an eye on the city gate.

Now is the best time to take action while the cultivators in this city are not strong. Otherwise, it won’t take long for a cultivator from this city to destroy the Heaven’s Wall city!”

After hearing Tang Zhen’s warning, Gu’s expression changed slightly. Were the cultivators of Lou Cheng really that powerful?

Tang Zhen had guessed Gu’s thoughts when he saw Gu’s doubtful expression. However, he was too lazy to explain.

Summer insects couldn’t speak ice. If Tang Zhen said that he could replicate the bone, the other party would only think that he was talking nonsense.

If he were to tell the other party that he had a world in his mind, he would probably think that he was crazy.

Therefore, many facts didn’t need to be said because it was meaningless. The natives who thought they were smart only believed what they thought they should believe and not the real truth.

……

After separating from the bone, Tang Zhen returned to the underground city.

The bone gave Tang Zhen a map that depicted the structure of the underground city. It really looked like a mess and was far more complicated than the Heaven’s Wall city.

The location of the mausoleum was marked on the map, and they only needed to follow the red line.

This map had also been integrated into the space of consciousness and became a part of the Super map, which could be accessed at any time.

Following the map’s guidance, Tang Zhen went around the underground city until he met the believers who were guarding the passage.

The other party had a total of over a dozen people. They were hiding in a dark corner. After seeing the token that Tang Zhen showed, they happily chose to let them pass.

However, before Tang Zhen left, the other party still kindly reminded him to be careful of the monster inside.

The monsters that were guarding the tomb had already run into the tunnel, and they would be knocked down on their way to the tomb.

Before Tang Zhen came, the members of the alarm bell Church acted on their own and encountered the monster that ran out.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen believers had been killed without any power to fight back.

In order to prevent more people from being hurt, the believers chose to evacuate in time, but the bodies of their companions were not recovered.

Now that they heard that Tang Zhen was going to enter the tomb, the members of the alarm bell Church looked at each other and prepared to secretly follow behind.

He only hoped to find the remains of his companions and bring them back for burial.

Tang Zhen inquired after receiving the reminder. After which, he continued to advance forward.

This time, they didn’t walk for long before they heard rustling sounds coming from the front. Then, a huge monster came into sight.

The monster wasn’t made of flesh and blood. Instead, it was a metal puppet with colorful runes on its surface, and it was filled with an ancient aura.

It looked like a moving metal can, and it was waving its four arms with sharp claw blades.

After discovering Tang Zhen, the metal puppet immediately stared at him. It seemed to possess intelligence.

“It’s actually this kind of thing. No wonder it’s so weird.”

Tang Zhen did not find it strange when he saw the human-like behavior of the metal puppets. This was because the souls of the sacrificed were indeed hidden within the bodies of these metal puppets.

Sacrificing the lives of living people just to power a lifeless puppet was a common occurrence.

Perhaps to the creator, this was a truly perfect life, even if he himself was also made of flesh and blood.

Tang Zhen had seen similar metal puppets more than once. He knew that this kind of thing might look tough, but it was not invincible.

If his strength had not been sealed, he would only need one spiritual attack to finish off this monster that was like a metal fortress.

Now that his strength was limited, Tang Zhen could only use a more tricky method to destroy the puppet monster’s key parts and completely paralyze it.

It was easy to say, but not easy to do. One had to be proficient in the relevant knowledge and possess a suitable weapon to do so.

If these conditions could not be met, then the metal puppet would be an indestructible iron block. Just this metal outer shell would make people feel despair from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the reason why the church of the alarm bell had suffered such heavy losses. The believers had no way of dealing with these metal lumps that guarded the mausoleum.

At this moment, Tang Zhen took the initiative to charge forward. Just as he was about to approach the monster, the longsword in his hand suddenly pierced out at a rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, it had landed on the outer shell of the metal puppet.

The metal puppet was naturally not afraid of swords. Tang Zhen did not do it for the purpose of slashing and stabbing. Instead, he was transmitting the vibration force to the puppet.

“Dang!”

The metal puppet paused for a moment. Soon after, it continued to wave its sharp claws at Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He continued to use the longsword in his hand as a hammer and struck the metal puppet until it emitted a concentrated sound.

In less than half a minute, the huge metal puppet made a ” ka ka ” sound of friction, and its movements became sluggish, like a machine that ran out of oil.

This was especially so when Tang Zhen had circled to the back. The head of the metal puppet had automatically turned. In the end, it was stuck halfway.

Tang Zhen, however, leaped and landed on the shoulder of the metal puppet. After which, he suddenly thrust his sword at a certain spot.

“Ka ka!”

The huge metal puppet stopped in place, and its raised arm seemed to be stuck. It kept trembling and wanted to fall down, but it was unable to do so.

“Huala”

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the huge metal puppet fell to the ground like a pile of building blocks, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The believers who were secretly watching from afar had their mouths wide open in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
