Cleaner

"The ground in front of me seems to be moving."

A player pointed tremblingly at the empty space in front of him, his face pale.

"It's moving here too."

"Me too."

"How could this be? Is it going to be an earthquake?"

Xiao Fan: "..."

"The monsters are right beneath our feet, prepare for battle."

Xiao Fan issued the command.

"Underground!"

Everyone was terrified! Monsters could spawn from underground! How scary!

Knowing that the monster was under their feet, the team members jumped around on all fours, afraid to even step on the ground, lest a Fierce Beast emerge and devour them.

Squeak~

A sharp, screeching sound tore through the air. Immediately afterward, the ground in front of them suddenly bulged upward, and yellow sand exploded like a fountain, covering everyone's faces with sand.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Everyone could only cover their faces and fan their arms.

As the yellow sand settled, eight little monsters appeared before the group.

This is a mechanical monster the size of a car, with a streamlined torso covered in dark gold armor.

The head had no eyes; only a constantly scanning crimson beam moved back and forth across the group.

The most striking feature was its pair of gleaming metallic scythe claws, which seemed poised to snatch someone away at any moment.

At the same time, information about the monster appeared above their heads.

Name: Cleaner Robot

Level: 15

HP: 2000/2000

"Robot?"

Blade Shadow and his group were dumbfounded.

Robots can be monsters too?

<Cloud Sea>, you feel like a stranger to me!

But.

Seriously!

The appearance of robots seems to fit the Cyberpunk theme quite well.

"Don't hesitate, attack!"

Xiao Fan's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Blade Shadow snapped out of his shock, looked at the robot in front of him, picked up his large sword, and slashed it down.

"Clang!"

The blade flashed, sending sparks flying. Blade Shadow felt as if his blade had struck solid steel, the impact causing his hand to split open, his entire arm to go numb instantly, and his body to be thrown back several steps.

-1HP

A large red number floated up from the robot.

Blade Shadow froze, and the others were dumbfounded.

How can they break through this defense?

"Jiu Chen, we're probably being countered! We can't even scratch this robot!"

Blade Shadow looked at his attack just now, which hadn't even left a white mark on the robot, and had only caused him to lose a drop of blood. He was completely dismayed.

He's at least level 16 now, while this robot is only level 15. Even with level advantage, it shouldn't be able to deal so little damage.

Xiao Fan's face darkened.

"Robots are made of metal. If you try to cut them with a knife, you're not going to bleed!"

"Ah! What should we do then?" Blade Shadow looked completely bewildered.

Just then, the red rays from the heads of the eight robots scanned Xiao Fan and his group of nine.

A mechanical voice rang out.

"Scan complete. Nine Complete Human detected. Cleaning Mission initiation."

"Cleaning Mission."

"Oh no! Run! Get away from these robots!" Xiao Fan realized something was wrong and shouted immediately.

These people were all those who had fought alongside Xiao Fan in the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm, and none of them doubted Xiao Fan's judgment and command.

As soon as he spoke, everyone ran away immediately.

Sizzle~

A crackling sound rang out, and tiny bolts of lightning appeared around the robots.

If they hadn't run from where they were standing, they would have definitely been electrocuted by the lightning.

"Holy crap, how are we supposed to fight this? We can't cut through them with weapons, and now it's even hard to get close to these robots."

Blade Shadow felt that the monsters in this secret realm were particularly troublesome.

As Xiao Fan ran, he pondered how to deal with these robots.

Swoosh~

Just then, Xiao Fan heard a whooshing sound.

He quickly turned around to check, and what he saw almost made his eyes pop out.

It's the Mechanical Grappling Claw of those robots!

Their claws are connected to their bodies by black chains, allowing their arms to extend a great distance.

From a distance, it looks like you can catch the last player.

"Run!"

The last player seemed to sense the danger behind him, his face turned terrified, and he ran forward as fast as he could.

But the ground beneath his feet was soft desert, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't increase his speed.

"Help!"

Seeing this, Xiao Fan had no choice but to activate the skill <Gift of the Saint>. The speed boost from the skill increased everyone's speed several times over. The last player barely dodged the robot's Mechanical Grappling Claw, breaking out in a cold sweat from the shock.

But the next second, a mechanical sound came from behind again.

The robots' legs began to retract upwards, and in the blink of an eye, the space where their legs had been became two tires. Then, the robots chased after the group at an extremely fast speed.

"What the hell is the difference between this and cheating?"

Xiao Fan's eyelids twitched violently upon seeing this.

No matter how fast Xiao Fan and his companions went, they couldn't outrun the tires. Just as the robots were about to catch up, Xiao Fan threw the skill <Moon-Like Rotation> at them.

"Warning! Warning! The system is under attack. Please return to District 10 for repairs as soon as possible."

"Warning! Warning! The system is under attack. Please return to District 10 for repairs as soon as possible."

The first three robots were hit by Xiao Fan's skill, and mechanical noises rang out continuously. The red rays above their heads began to flash, their bodies slowed down, and their health bars disappeared rapidly.

"Clean up the humans, go back to repair, clean up the humans, go back to repair..."

The sudden arrival of a new task contradicted the previously accepted mission, and the Cleaner Robot's system seemed unable to make a judgment, leaving the entire robot paralyzed.

"System compromised, Destruction System activated."

"Huh? It's going to be destroyed?"

The player at the very back heard the sound, stopped curiously, and turned around to see what the robot looked like when it was destroyed.

"Destruction countdown begins."

"0"

Boom~

A wave of heat swept over the player, who only saw a large patch of fire before being engulfed by the heat.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan quickly threw a healing spell at him.

"I haven't even created Resurrection Art yet, can you please stop courting death?"

Fortunately, the player was some distance from the robot and only suffered minor injuries.

"Who counts down to 0 right away?" the player said indignantly.

As the fire died down, all eight Cleaner Robot were destroyed.

"It seems that physical attacks have limited effect on the robots; to kill them, we must attack their systems."

Before Xiao Fan could even breathe a sigh of relief, the same voice rang out again.

Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Cleaner, please eliminate immediately!

Warning! Warning! Complete Human detected. Cleaner, please eliminate immediately!

Another batch of Cleaner Robot emerged from underground.
