The Mohist Treasury

Before re-entering the machine room where 'fire' was located, Zhang Xuezhou and the others took Ao Sheng for a stroll around.

Nearly half an hour later, the group stepped back into the collapsed underground space.

The mechanical figure had already come to a standstill, and only began to slowly move its body when the group stepped back in.

"Oh dear, this is the Mohists's mechanical puppet 'Fire,' it can breathe flames at us!"

"Quickly, handsome Lord Ao Sheng, spray him with water until he dies!"

"Yes, water can put out fires, quickly spray water!"

Before Ao Sheng could react, he was already being pushed forward by the crowd.

"You were right to have foresight! I'd wanted to get rid of that fog for a while, and you said it would be very useful, and now it really is!"

Ao Sheng exclaimed, thinking that everyone was incredibly clever.

He watched as the mechanical figure slowly rose, its head rapidly growing enormous, and its demonic form reappeared.

When he slapped his own abdomen hard, the water in Ao Sheng's mouth surged like a fire hydrant.

"The water is fierce!"

"I feel like it should be a bit more fiery!"

Should we hide?

"With such a huge thing blocking our way, why should we hide?"

Ao Sheng not only sprayed water to extinguish the fire, but his opponent's demonic body was enormous, like a wall, and had thick dragon scales protecting his body, so that everyone didn't even need to dodge.

The grueling battles and bloodshed have turned into a spectacle, with former rivals charging forward with renewed vigor.

Li Shaojun always felt that there was something wrong with Zhang Xuezhou. Not only did he seem to have explored important areas without gaining anything when he followed Zhang Xuezhou, but he also acted strangely during every fight, rarely engaging in any direct confrontation.

Of course, aside from the painful consequence of gaining nothing, Li Shaojun quite enjoyed this feeling.

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists," and Li Shaojun felt that Zhang Xuezhou was very much a gentleman.

"The handsome Demon King Ao is the most powerful!"

Li Shaojun shouted.

Looking at the waist-deep water that had reached him in such a short time, he realized that Ao Li was indeed formidable.

Unless one possesses top-tier cultivation and Technique Method, human water magic is utterly insignificant in the face of dragon demons.

As long as this water energy is continuously poured into every part of the mechanical man's body, even the most powerful mechanical man will slow down and may even collapse and disintegrate.

"Once the water covers the mechanical figure's arms and head, it should be finished!"

A fierce blue flame spewed from the mechanical mouth, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but add a comment.

"It feels so good to have you guys figure out our weaknesses!"

When the mechanical man breathed fire on him, Ao Sheng saw that the once-sturdy dragon scales were burned and wrinkled, and large blisters appeared on his body.

Ao Shenggang wanted to spit some water on himself to cool down, but after hearing what Zhang Xuezhou and the others said, his body rolled over, and the water that had accumulated in the passage surged onto the mechanical man's body.

"My water prison spell will bind it firmly in the water!" Ao Sheng shouted, "Ensuring this mechanical man will have an endless supply of water for the rest of its life!"

"That's incredibly powerful!"

Zhang Xuezhou praised him, while Li Shaojun whistled.

"Diligence... is nothing compared to talent!"

Only Gongsun Hong seemed somewhat heartbroken.

Looking at the massive amount of water that Ao Sheng had used to trap the mechanical man, and then thinking about the wave of water he had pulled and entangled, he couldn't help but feel saddened.

Diligence can make up for lack of talent, but it cannot make up for lack of ability.

If humanity wants to overcome its shortcomings, it needs to rely on auxiliary forces such as Law Treasure to arm itself.

In the ruins of the Mohists's mechanical city, this might be his only chance to turn the tide in terms of strength.

Watching the mechanical man tumbling in the waves, seemingly about to breathe fire but unable to speak, Gongsun Hong was ready to rush in and open the door behind the man.

If he could obtain a powerful treasure capable of restraining Ao Sheng, why would he need to feign politeness with this ugly dragon demon and utter those disgusting words that even he found repulsive?

"The brave and handsome Demon King Ao Sheng is invincible!"

Gongsun Hong suppressed the turmoil in his heart and shouted, echoing Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun, who continued to pat Ao Sheng's dragon buttocks.

"It's all thanks to your excellent guidance!"

Inside the water dungeon, the mechanical manipulator, unable to breathe fire, swung its mechanical arm and struck heavily. The immense force knocked Ao Sheng off balance, enraging him and making him feel he had lost face in front of his friends.

He roared, and his three-toed dragon claws shot out, his three-zhang-long body quickly wrapping around the mechanical man.

A creaking sound came as the mechanical figure was tightened, and Ao Sheng forcefully twisted and contorted it until it began to deform.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from inside the mechanical man, as if it were a sign of defeat and destruction.

Ao Sheng couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking that he had managed to save face.

"Easy to solve..."

He was about to casually dismiss the mechanical man when a chilling sense of danger suddenly washed over him.

As his body rapidly contracted, Ao Sheng felt as if he had become entangled in Laojun's Pill Furnace.

Fierce flames erupted from the mechanical man's body, and even the massive stream of water enveloping him could not extinguish them.

He felt a burning pain on his face and body. As a creature of the Jianghai River, he had actually been burned by flames, and it was even possible that he had been seriously injured.

A wave of powerlessness washed over him, as if his memory had been completely shattered, and Ao Sheng and the mechanical man collapsed almost simultaneously.

In a daze, Ao Sheng felt his vision blur and the mechanical man who fell down at the same time as him turned into Ao Li.

He shook his head and bit down on Ao Li's neck.

Ao Li's expression was calm and indifferent; he just stared at him with wide eyes.

It wasn't until quite a while later that Ao Sheng felt himself come back to his senses. When his vision cleared again, he saw Li Shaojun holding a luminous pearl and prying open his longan.

Ao Sheng blinked, causing Li Shaojun to quickly withdraw his hand.

"Handsome Lord Ao Sheng, you are truly amazing! You defeated this invincible Mohists mechanical man!"

Looking at Ao Sheng's face, which was burned and deformed, Li Shaojun felt that the other party's appearance had taken on a somewhat ferocious look, which made him quickly withdraw his hand when he wanted to pick up the dragon's corpse.

Since Ruo Aosheng died here, Li Shaojun felt that he would never mind the other party's ugliness; he would at least try the legendary taste of dragon liver.

But if Ao Sheng is still alive, that's another story. Even a dying snake is dangerous, let alone an injured dragon. He also doesn't know what other trump cards Ao Sheng has.

Li Shaojun gave a loud compliment, and then quickly jumped back.

Following Zhang Xuezhou, the group ran quickly and returned at a fairly fast pace.

In short, the mechanical figures blocking the way were dealt with relatively well, and they escaped disaster. If Ao Sheng could shrink his demonic body, they would be able to enter the closed door at the back.

"I also defeated Ao Li!"

Ao Sheng murmured to himself, feeling as if he had achieved his first great victory after more than ten battles in the illusion.

When Zhang Xuezhou called out to go into the Mohists's treasure vault to find medicine to treat Ao Sheng's illness, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, realizing that even when searching for treasure, these people would think of him first.

This caused him to struggle violently, and after a moment, Ao Sheng returned to his original tall, mangled form, revealing the doorway behind him.
