• Yang Bo showed an Energy Stone to Tie Niu, who dropped the stone in his mouth and drooled when Yang Bo revealed the Energy Stone inside its container.

Yang Bo fed Tie Niu all twelve Energy Pillars, collected the creature’s drool, and discovered that his mecha could carry the Bone Hammer into Mecha Space. He then reached Base 16, where Mutants were trying to break through its silver door, while mecha companies and the military were distracted by the unexplained activation of stored mechas and other crises.

• Yang Bo traveled to Base 16 and saw seven or eight Biological Mechas ramming a deformed silver door as Mutants argued about Black Blade and Tiger-Face King.
• Mecha companies detected that stored mechas had been forcibly activated and their permissions changed, but the military was occupied with the Green Devil Star pirate attack and the Red Earl Extremist Organization discovery.

Yang Bo used a formation of advanced mechas to ambush the Mutants at the base, then led the machines into the Underground World. He reached Tie Niu, while the mecha invasion spread alarm among the Mutant tribes.

• Yang Bo arranged dozens of armed advanced mechas at the base entrance and prepared his own mecha as the silver-white door buckled under the Mutants' attack.

• The Mutants spread word that human mechas had invaded the Underground World, prompting tribes to strengthen their defenses and send out sentries.
• Yang Bo traveled through an underground passage to Tie Niu, who stared at the advanced mecha and drooled.

• Yang Bo transferred authorization for the advanced mechs to Tie Niu and followed him through the tunnels with the mechs in tow.
• The mechs blasted Mutant sentries, and tribes throughout the Underground World watched their passage with fear and speculation.
• As more Mutants gathered behind them, Tie Niu sped ahead, then turned back toward the Laser Cannon fire before returning to Yang Bo.
• After nearly half a day of travel, Tie Niu led Yang Bo upward and stopped him near a canyon, leaving the mechs by the exit.
• Tie Niu roared into the canyon, and a rhinoceros with golden stripes descended from the air, making Yang Bo wary.

Yang Bo followed Tie Niu and his companion into a vast rhinoceros-filled valley, where Tie Niu led him to a cave occupied by fire-controlling snakes. After Yang Bo’s mechs attacked the snakes, a giant snake emerged and fought back with an Energy Shield and corrosive liquid, leaving Yang Bo charging toward it with an Energy Battle Blade.

• Tie Niu reunited with his companion, and Yang Bo led his mechs through the valley while the two rhinoceroses guided them past their herd.

• Yang Bo recognized that the snakes possessed Fire Energy Control and bombed the cave, collecting more skill notifications from within.
• A giant snake emerged with an Energy Shield and sprayed corrosive liquid that melted several mechs.
• Yang Bo threw mechs carrying bombs into the cave, then charged the giant snake with an Energy Battle Blade as it rammed his mech.

• Yang Bo killed the Giant Snake with his energy mecha and discovered that the Tie Niu Clan had once lived in the tunnel before the snakes drove them away.
• Yang Bo explored the tunnel, found the Giant Snake's lava-filled cavern and snake eggs, then led twenty-three mechas through the tunnel to kill the remaining snakes and destroy the eggs.
• Yang Bo dismantled the mechas, gave their metal parts to Tie Niu, and planted bombs to collapse the tunnel and disrupt the Electric Eels' underground river.
• Yang Bo searched the Giant Snake's body and found a bronze-colored metal object inside it shortly before the bombs buried the tunnel.
• Tie Niu shone a beam from his horn onto the bronze-colored metal, surprising Yang Bo.

Meanwhile, One-Eyed and Bald Head argued on Green Devil Star over a surprise Jin Gang Grade fleet, while an Ash Organization representative defended the intelligence they had received.

• After Tie Niu broke the metal shell, Yang Bo collected the red stone and its Fire Attribute metal fragments while the rhino herd devoured the mecha parts.
• Yang Bo transformed into a small armored rhino after plucking its fur, then realized his roar could affect other rhinos and that Tie Niu's brother had taken offense.
• Yang Bo reviewed his skills, learned that Tie Niu knew the directions to Base 16 and a Trident Bull territory, and left to seek Energy Pillars and training targets.
• Yang Bo scattered Micro Hydrogen Bomb fragments into an Electric Eel lake, then continued through the Underground World looking for a Mutant to practice on.
• On Green Devil Star, One-Eyed and Bald Head blamed each other over a Jin Gang Grade Main Fleet, while an Ash Organization representative said the organization would not have supplied false intelligence.
