"It turned out to be this!"

Earlier, at Knight Heights, Gao Gong had encountered several "mechanical terracotta soldiers" in the huge pits. They all seemed to be around level 20, not even as strong as ordinary mechanical guards. But when they acted together, a boss template had forcibly appeared on their status panels.

A hundred become one.

One is a legion!
