As Machine Body gained a foothold on the ground at the edge of the forest, this strange area gradually revealed more of its secrets.
The ground is not soil as imagined, but a accumulation of brown particles that look like soil, glowing with light fluorescence.
For this purpose Machine Intelligence Servitors had to grind these particles into powder and compact them to provide Standard Production Line a suitable placement area.
Every time Machine Body sets foot, it will leave a circle of ripples on the ground, like stepping on solidified liquid metal. In the large craters blown up by live bombs, viscous liquid is constantly seeping out, and it quickly condenses into crystals in the air, reflecting a colorful but weird light.
Machine Body were assembling the production line in an orderly manner, however, the surrounding environment was not peaceful.
Some tiny creatures began to swim around Machine Body. They looked like Beetles, but their shells shone with metallic luster. Their six legs were as long and thin as needles. Their heads had tentacle-like structures growing on their ends. With their mouthparts resembling suction cups, these Beetles-like creatures constantly try to get closer to Machine Body, using their suction cup mouthparts to stick to the mechanical surface, trying to get into the gaps of Machine Body.
However, both Servitor and Castellan chose to ignore these weird insects. These Beetles emerged from the Alloy skeleton of the machine body, seemingly showing a trace of confusion, and then rushed to the next Machine Body.
It wasn't until they rushed towards Standard Production Line that Servitor began their long-lost battle for the first time.
Sensing the possible threat, the Laser Cutter mounted on the Auxiliary Arm behind Servitor began to flash with light. Several red beams of light flashed across, and dozens of Beetles were instantly cut in half.
However, the strange thing is that these cut Beetles did not die. A kind of green mucus was quickly secreted from the fracture. The mucus merged with each other and rejoined into a complete individual, but the size was slightly smaller. More Beetles were stimulated, as if guided by some kind of signal, and came from all directions, forming a wave of glittering metallic luster.
Servitor immediately sped up the assembly of the production line, while Laser Cutter and Plasma Welder on Auxiliary Arm behind him kept waving.
The approaching Beetles groups turned into balls of hot ashes. But these Beetless seemed to be endless, and they attacked the Servitors' defense line one after another.
At the same time, strips of slender Vines began to hang down from the surrounding trees. These Vines showed a strange purple color, and the surface was covered with tiny barbs. The ends of the Vines split open, revealing the cavity full of fangs, like Great Maw waiting for prey.
Vines swung flexibly in the air and suddenly launched an attack on Machine Body. They entangled Machine Body's limbs and tried to pull it toward the trees.
A Machine Intelligence Servitors was wrapped by a Vines. The barbs on the Vines penetrated the mechanical casing. Green juice seeped into the gap and corroded the cables of the Machine Body. As the insulation layer ruptured, a short circuit immediately extinguished the Laser Cutter on an auxiliary robotic arm.
And the piece of Vines was crackled by the leaked current.
When other Machine Body saw this, they immediately used tools to cut Vines. The light of Laser and Plasma flashed in the forest, cutting Vines into pieces and falling.
Just as Machine Body were busy dealing with Beetles and Vines, a low roar came from the distant forest. This sound seemed to come from the ancient abyss, with a kind of heart-stopping pressure. Machine Body's sensor immediately captured multiple moving heat sources, and they were approaching quickly.
Soon, a group of tall creatures appeared in sight.
They have human-like torsos, but their limbs are as thick as beasts.
However, their strange appearance is different from Daemon. These creatures are covered with gray scales, and black hair grows between the scales. Their heads are shaped like a bull's head, but they have a pair of huge bat wings, and the edges of the wings are covered with spikes.
In his hands are weapons made of a mixture of bones and metal. Although most of these weapons are primitive weapons such as sticks, the mysterious Runes is engraved on the surface, emitting a strange light.
These creatures let out sharp roars and charged towards Machine Body. The Servitors quickly adjusted their postures. The effective distances of Laser Cutter and Plasma Welding Apparatus were both very short, but the close combat capabilities of the Servitors were not weak.
Compared with conventional combat machinery, Servitors are generally equipped with four to six Auxiliary Arms, which are equipped with variable tool modules. If necessary, these Auxiliary Arms can all be switched to Laser Cutters.
Just "slightly rotate" the body, these Servitor will become an untouchable "light ball".
However, these Xenos Creatures scales seem to have some kind of special defense ability. Some attacks are bounced off by the scales, and only a few attacks can cause damage to them. With their powerful impact, the Xenos Creaturess are preparing to break up Servitor's defense line quickly.
Castellan, who is busy on the inside of Standard Production Line, uses Power Klaw to support his body, looking like a spider lying on the ground.
The gravitational state here is very weird. Anti-gravity Module cannot provide lift, but gravity clearly exists. Therefore, Castellan have to adopt this weird posture to support their actions.
The Power Klaw of astonishing size was swung at the charging Xenos Creatures, and these ignorant beasts roared without fear, then waved their weapons and rushed towards the giant pincers that were even more exaggerated than they looked.
The mechanical pliers used to assemble Titan have terrifying power. The huge force will instantly crush any creature that dares to challenge it. The blood that splatters is not the familiar bright red, but glows with a hint of dark cyan.
In the chaos, these strange creatures suddenly began to make strange tones in a rhythmic manner, and the weapons in their hands began to flash with strange lights.
As strange beams of light erupted, those sticks were attached with strange Psychic Power light blades.
Its destructive power increases geometrically.
Some Servitor began to suffer losses, while a smaller number of Castellan fell under siege.
"Pfft!"
With a tearing sound, a Gaze-Render wielded a Power Claw and instantly tore two Xenos Creaturess apart. The tall machine began to accelerate and began to run rampant among these organisms.
The mass of Machine Body is attached with power blessing. Even without any weapons, the destructive power of its body itself is amazing enough.
A green flash flashed on the running Gaze-Render robotic arm.
Neural-Sensing Crusher's Ray jumps on living creatures.
For the first time, screams came from the mouths of these Xenos Creatures.
Soon, the second Gaze-Render jumped off the production line.
The two killing machines quickly wiped out all these Xenos Creatures bodies.
The weird blood seeped into the weird ground structure, as if it was absorbed by a sponge.
The breathing-like pulsating frequency of the surrounding "trees" began to gradually increase.
After confirming that there were no more targets approaching, the two Gaze-Render began to head towards the depths of the forest.
Servitor and Castellan began to build defense facilities in place.
Heavy-duty multi-tube Autocannon and Smart Ion Turret fell from Standard Production Line one after another, and were then staggered around by the Castellans.
Although Titan Ship is far away and cannot be approached, this area is still on the edge of Quantum Power Field.
This saves Iax from having to worry about the energy issues of these devices for the time being.
But for deeper exploration, it is still necessary to establish Energy Relay Tower.
It's just that the anti-gravity system seems to be unable to operate properly here, causing these Alloy prisms that should be independently floating and full of technology to have to add some additional support structures and become a bit bloated.
