Chapter 554 Wind Erosion Valley

 In a clearing somewhere outside the abyss, the huge shadow of the God of Order stood majestically.

Opposite the giant, the short robot maintained a fighting posture and charged at the giant again and again. The contrast between the two was like an egg against a stone.

Although the robot is small in size, its movements are extremely agile. In addition to its basic agility value, its joints seem to be equipped with instant acceleration parts, which makes it not inferior to Shenpi in terms of speed, or even slightly better. One chip.

 In addition, the robot's mouth and arms can activate a laser cannon-like attack, which is no less powerful than a cannon!

˜You must know that the cannon on the mecha's skin is an orange part. From this, you can see how high-end the configuration of this robot is.

Mu You stared closely at the flying robot, saw the right moment, and punched the robot in its path.

 Hunting for the opponent to dodge, he immediately changed the direction of the attack and tried to attack the robot with his knee.

The robot easily dodged again and directly went around to attack Shenpi's back.

 “Boom!”

The raging energy cannon was ejected from the robot's mouth and directly hit the back of Shenpi. Although it failed to break through Shenpi's defense, it also caused scorch marks on the phantom of Shenpi.

“Judgement of back defense...cannot judge, beyond the attack range, continue to change the attack part..."

The robot's mouth was still broadcasting electronic sounds, and at the same time, a body flashed away again, and when it reappeared, it was already above the giant's head.

The raging energy condensed from its mouth again, but this time, like a prophet, the giant below reached out first. The moment the robot appeared, he grabbed its ankles and then threw it down hard.

 “Boom!”

 With a more violent roar than before, the robot was pinned to death in the soil, and it was shattered horribly.

 However, just as Mu You stopped his hand, in less than half a second, the robot, which had almost been smashed into pieces, recovered again, jumped out of the pit, and regained its fighting posture.

Mu You couldn't help but frown. Is this guy recovering faster and faster?

Just as he was thinking about it, the robot rushed towards him again, but within a few moves, it was knocked to the ground again by the god's skin.

However, the robot is like an invincible Xiaoqiang, constantly shattering and constantly recovering, launching suicidal attacks again and again like moths flying into a flame.

 “This can’t go on like this…”

 After smashing the robot away again, Mu You controlled Shenpi to retreat and paused the attack.

Even though he seems to have the upper hand, the other party can only keep dying under his hands, without any chance of hurting him.

However, the divine skin has a time limit and will disappear sooner or later, but the opponent's health bar seems to never end.

If the opponent keeps wearing him down with this life-changing style of play, he will definitely be the first to be unable to hold on in the end.

 In addition, the magic power in his and the herb gatherer's bodies was almost empty, and the dizziness caused by the backlash of magic power was also constantly affecting their condition.

Since the robot appeared, it has been rapidly absorbing the magic power in their bodies and crystals. The speed at which their magic power was replenished could not keep up with the passing speed. So half a minute into the battle, the two of them entered a state where both magic powers were completely empty. , has remained so until now.

"Even if this thing can be resurrected indefinitely, it will always require energy to repair it, and energy cannot be generated out of thin air..." The herb collector said faintly at this time.

“You are saying that the energy that makes it infinitely resurrected is the magic power absorbed from the surrounding environment?” Mu You asked.

 “Other than that, I can’t think of any other explanation.” said the herb collector.

The other party's body is only that big. If the energy is provided by a certain component in the other party's body, it will be like a dry battery. Sooner or later it will run out.

And now the opponent's posture of inexhaustible energy is obviously connected to an external 'charging cable', which can continuously absorb energy from the outside world.

"Then if you want to kill this thing, you have to cut off its energy source first..."

Mu You pondered, this means that they have to find a place with no magic power as a battlefield before they can prevent the opponent from resurrecting.

 However, the star spirit world was born because of magic power, and the earth separated by a wall is now saturated with magic power.

 Magic power is not a gas, but an invisible energy that penetrates all pervasive areas. Theoretically, in both worlds, it is impossible for there to be areas without magic power at all.

The world that has not yet been infiltrated by magic is the world of giants. However, that place is not something that creatures from the astral world can go to if they want to. Even if they have this intention, they cannot bring creatures who are not fools to the divine realm.

So this issue has become a dead end.

"Perhaps, there is a place where..." the herb collector suddenly spoke.

“Where?” Mu You took the time to ask after knocking the oncoming robot away with a punch.

"desert…"

 “Oh? You mean...”

 The memories of the two people are interconnected. After the herb collector reminded him, Mu You immediately reacted.

 When he went to the desert to do a mission before, he passed through an area called "Wind Erosion Valley".

Because this area is located in the hinterland of the desert and has a unique spiral structure, it is covered by strong winds all year round. The wind element is extremely rich. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the place with the most abundant wind elements in the entire Star Spirit World.

It is precisely because the wind element is overly active that it squeezes the space of other magic elements. As a result, there are no other magic elements in this area, and it is impossible to release any magic other than wind magic. The power of wind magic is will be greatly enhanced.

 The reason why the two of them thought of this place was because of the existence of Qilin Arm.

Contrary to the characteristics of the Wind Erosion Valley, the Qilin Arm has the ability to absorb wind elements from the surrounding environment. For example, when we were in the dark cave before, the Qilin Arm sucked away the wind elements in the entire dark cave, making all wind magic inoperable. It can be used in dark caves, and spells can be cast normally except those of the wind type.

So, what will happen if you place the Wind Qilin Arm in a wind-eroded valley with only wind elements?

 One only has the wind element, and the other only absorbs the wind element. Can the combined effects of the two create a temporary magic vacuum zone?

“Go and give it a try.” Mu Youyou said that there was no better way at the moment, and he couldn’t be entangled endlessly by this thing.

"good."

The herb gatherer nodded, stretched his hand toward the ground, and summoned the shadow pom pom.

Mu You cooperated with the active attack and spent a few moves to pin the robot to the ground again.

 As before, the attack had just ended, and the robot's broken body immediately began to recover.

But this time, the shadow pom-pom had already hid in the shadow below the landing point under the signal of the herb collector. As soon as Mu You stopped his hand, it immediately opened its mouth and turned into a wriggling black light, entangled On the robot, until it was completely covered, it retracted into the ground, sealing the robot between the shadows.

"Walk!"

 After taking back the robot, Mu You immediately took the herb collector, teleported to the desert, and quickly drove the landship to the Wind Erosion Valley.

 Fortunately, the Wind Erosion Valley was not far from the teleportation array, and the two of them arrived at the place within an hour.

What appeared in front of them was a wide desert valley surrounded by dense sand dunes, which acted like a natural barrier, isolating the wind-eroded valley from the outside world.

These sand dunes show different shapes and sizes. Some are like huge whirlpools, and some are like endless waves, but they are constantly changing their shapes under the torn by strong winds, which looks quite weird.

The strong wind raged in the valley, rolling up sand and dust, forming huge clouds of sandstorms, swirling and colliding in the valley, making loud roars. The entire valley was like a thundering beast.

The two of them stood still in the valley despite the strong wind.

Muyou first summoned the unicorn arm on his right hand. As soon as the shadow of the beast's arm appeared, the surrounding wind speed suddenly dropped until it almost stopped.

Mu You turned around and looked around. Within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area, a barrier seemed to have opened up, forming a rare calm area in the windy and sandy valley.

The surrounding sandstorms were blowing, and they all took a detour as if they had seen something terrifying. No strong wind could invade the vicinity of Qilin Arm.

 “There seems to be something going on!”

Mu You looked at his hands, and he could clearly feel that the magic power in his body was slowly flowing away naturally, just like gas would be drained out instantly when exposed to a vacuum. It was precisely because the magic power in the surrounding environment was too thin that As a result, the magic power in his body began to spontaneously flow out.

 The two of them did not rush to release the robot, but continued to wait for a while.

 It wasn't until the magic power in each body was almost gone that they took up their stances and got ready for battle.

On the sand, the hedgehog-shaped shadow ball resurfaced again, squirmed to the center of the field, and opened its mouth.

As soon as the robot saw the exit, it quickly jumped out and landed on the sand. It assumed a fighting posture and quickly turned its head to scan.

“The unfavorable environment has been detected, and it has been predicted to be a ‘trap’. The self-protection program has been activated, and the order is: Temporarily retreat...” An electronic sound was played from the robot’s mouth.

This thing is smarter than imagined.

However, the two of them spent so much effort and traveled tens of thousands of miles to move it here. How could it be possible for it to escape so easily?

 In the pincer attack between the two, the robot's chosen escape direction was naturally toward the herb gatherer.

The herb gatherer stepped out without fear, intercepted directly in front of the robot, and collided with the heavy mecha.

Although he was repulsed in one second, this simple delay was enough. Mu You quickly came from behind and switched his mecha skin halfway.

 The focus of Shen Skin is on defense and positional warfare. In this kind of battle where preventing the opponent from escaping is the first priority, it is not as flexible as Mecha Skin.

"Da da da…"

 The first thing fired from the barrel was a string of floating bullets, all of which hit accurately under the effect of the locking circuit.

The robot was bombarded on the spot and turned into a ghostly state, like a stuck disk, but it still relied on its arrogant defensive shell to forcibly block the floating effect, and continued to run away as soon as the gunfire stopped.

But as soon as it took a step, a grenade rolled under its feet.

 “Buzz…”

In the explosive air wave of the repelling grenade, the robot that ran dozens of meters was accurately blasted back to the center of the field.

Mu You was already waiting here. As soon as the robot landed, he immediately switched the fighting circuit and started close combat.

 The herb collectors nearby would also come close to harass them from time to time, not seeking to kill or injure them, but only to disturb them.

Under the restraint of the herb gatherer, Mu You quickly seized the opportunity, quickly switched back to the giant skin, and punched down.

 “Boom!”

Just like the scene where it was smashed countless times before, the robot once again disintegrated into pieces under the giant's fist.

 “It should be over this time…”

 Mu You retracted his fist and hurriedly looked at the big hole made on the ground. The herb picker on the side also came closer to confirm the situation.

However, their expressions quickly darkened.

 Because, the non-humanoid mechanical body in the pit actually started to heal again!

"How is it possible? Isn't it magic that helped it recover?" Mu You frowned. Now that he is in a magic vacuum environment, he is supposed to be able to completely eliminate the influence of magic, but he can still be resurrected. This makes Mu You puzzled. Is there other energy at work?

“No, the recovery speed has slowed down!” the herb collector suddenly said.

Mu You took a closer look and immediately discovered that although the robot's body was also recovering visibly at this moment, the difference was more than a little bit different from the previous resurrection speed of almost seconds.

This at least proves that the other party's resurrection is indeed inseparable from magic power.

Since the opponent can continue to resurrect in a vacuum of magic power, it only means that there are other sources of magic power in the opponent's body! And it is likely that like the core of the forest, it contains terrifying energy to support such a large consumption.

Thinking of this, Mu You immediately raised his giant fist and punched it down, smashing the resurrected robot into pieces again.

"Execute the annihilation order..." In the big pit, the mouth of the mechanical body made a somewhat deformed sound.

Mu You was not surprised. Punch after punch continued to hit the already broken mechanical body, smashing it into pieces even more.

 “Annihilation order…”

 “Boom!”

 “Annihilate…”

 “Boom!”

 “Annihilate…”

 “Boom…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 …

Mu You waved his fists tirelessly, and he couldn't even count how many punches he had thrown.

 In short, until he felt exhausted and his attributes began to burn rapidly, the mechanical body on the ground finally stopped moving.

Mu You stopped in a hurry and retracted the giant arm.

At this moment, in the pit in the sand, countless mechanical parts, springs and fragments were scattered messily, each particle smaller than a fingernail.

If an outsider looked at it, he would never imagine that these fragments were originally part of a complete robot.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

After confirming that the other party was indeed dead, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

When he came here, he really didn’t expect that it would be so difficult to deal with such a little thing. He was exhausted even if he stood and let him kill him.

 Fortunately, it was finally killed.

Mu You shook his head and looked at the herb picker on the side: "Where did you catch this thing?"

"Under the abyss, in the area around one thousand meters." The herb collector said, and immediately added: "But I didn't find it, but it came to me on its own initiative."

"Looking for trouble? You mean, this thing climbed up from the abyss?" Mu You looked strange.

"Yes, it seems that this thing was originally aimed at me..." The herb collector nodded and wanted to say something else. However, at this moment, among the pile of fragments on the ground, a thin slice the size of a fingernail suddenly started to tremble. , intermittent sounds were played.

"Mission...failed...TK105...has been confirmed to be incapacitated...the target danger level has been increased: level 1...start the backup machine production plan...reset the obliteration mission immediately..."
