Chapter 284: One shot clears the table, and the game is over
Mission (side quest): The threat from Saruman's adopted sons and daughters.

Mission Description: You killed Saruman, but his adopted sons and daughters are buzzing around you like flies.

Mission requirements: After accepting the mission, the hunting mode will be activated. If you kill enough enemies within the limited time, you will be given generous rewards.

After Ross came back, he told Li Zhongren that these people came from three groups. In other words, he had been targeted by the three groups at the same time, and then he triggered this side quest.

However, Li Zhongren keenly discovered one thing.

That’s right, that’s the word “branch line”.

If there is a branch line, there should be a main line.

Apparently, the only legendary quest he accepted now was the main quest.

And these adopted sons and daughters who hunted down Saruman are the side quest.

So, what do his adopted sons and daughters have to do with this mist?

"etc."

Li Zhongren suddenly thought of something.

He sent Saruman's soul to brother Lee Harry, and through witchcraft targeting the soul, he extracted some information from his broken soul.

Most of it is the history of Saruman's struggles, which is inconsequential.

But in fact, Saruman really took off after he came into contact with the so-called Mechanicus.

Flesh and blood are weak, and machinery ascends
That is the core idea of ​​that sect.

However, this sect did a very good job of keeping secrets, even its partner Saruman was kept in the dark.

Little is known about this sect.

Even the people who brought him various intelligence were not humans, but robots they modified, and they would be destroyed after being used once.

Therefore, it can be said that Salmon knew nothing about this sect.

However, after all, there are humans in all the heavens and worlds. After seeing and hearing a lot, you can guess most of the things just by thinking about them.

So, even if there are no clues.

But based on previous intelligence, Li Zhongren probably had an idea in his mind.

First, these mists are related to the Mechanicus.

This is inevitable. When there is an existence similar to a cult in a place, the strange phenomena in this place are most likely caused by this cult.

Second, the Mechanicus must be related to the lord of this city.

According to Ross's description, such fog has existed for decades, and the lord of each city is a person with powerful abilities. Otherwise, how could he become a city lord in a world with extraordinary powers?

And these people, faced with these problematic mysteries, have been pretending to be ignorant for decades.

Either he is the leader of the Mechanicus, or he is a member of the Mechanicus, or he was actually killed by the Mechanicus a long time ago, and the current city lord is just a puppet.

Third, Sarumon is an agent chosen by the Mechanicum. His research seems to be for his own benefit, but in fact, Sarumon may not know that all his research work is for the Mechanicum. Once any problem arises, all the blame will be put on Sarumon.

Fourth, after Saruman died, his adopted sons and daughters fought a fierce battle, and now Saruman’s entire power is divided into three parts.

It is obvious that the Mechanicus should have contacted them separately, which is why the mission to hunt them down will become a side quest of the legendary mission.

Finally, the task is to complete it within a limited time.

Then, it is very likely that the Mechanicus is planning to make good use of the waste. If I don't kill enough people, I won't be able to attract the attention of the Mechanicus, or the Mechanicus will wipe out all traces.

"Boss, what's the matter? Is there a problem?"

"No."

Ross's words interrupted Li Zhongren's thoughts and he shook his head.

By the way, I took on the task.

In an instant, three huge question marks appeared in his three-dimensional map, representing three forces.

Also, there are several red dots surrounding the three question marks, which are the peripheral members of the three forces.

The number is definitely not small.

As mentioned before, his combat power is roughly equivalent to that of a tank. If he is engaged in a head-on battle and is besieged, there is still a possibility of him being overturned. After all, apart from anything else, the opponent's direct attack with the Forbidden Magic Gun is enough for most extraordinary people to withstand.

However, he did not say that he wanted to fight head-on.

"Come on, Ross, let's get out of here."

"Yes, boss."
-
"The other party, what does that mean?"

Chilias, the eldest son of Saruman, is a man who has also undergone mechanical transformation.

Has a huge and strong body.

At this moment he was sitting there with his arms and legs spread out, and opposite him were his younger brother and sister.

Nominal.

In fact, the three of them wished the other would die so that they could take over their father's inheritance. However, after a fight, the three of them had plans to give up. After all, after some testing, they were sure of one thing: if they continued fighting, all three would suffer losses.

"Since he has the ability to kill our people instantly, it means that he has already discovered that he is being followed. He deliberately lured us to take action. But if he wanted to spy on us, he should have left someone alive."

"I don't know, but we should pay enough attention to the person who was able to kill my father in the Forbidden Magic Castle. I suggest..."

The one who spoke was the second sister, the only woman among three siblings.

A charming woman with red hair. However, judging from her mechanical hands and feet, the mechanical transformation she underwent is obviously more obvious than that of the other two. Obviously, the reason why these three brothers and sisters can stand out has a lot to do with the transformation they have undergone. After all, the transformation of the Mechanicus can make them no longer afraid of the Forbidden Magic Stone.

In fact, the vast majority of idealistic and ambitious superhumans in this world are pursuing and researching how to counter the Forbidden Magic Stone. After all, when a person possesses unparalleled superpowers but is restrained by a piece of stone, how can they be happy?

However, just as she finished her words, the sky brightened.

In a physical sense.

Several people instinctively stood up and looked outside.

A huge ball of light appeared in the sky above the mechanical city of Pereira, which was shrouded in fog.

The ball of light glowed dimly and did not seem to be very hot, but this light could penetrate the fog.

"This is."

However, before the three of them could react, dense rays of light suddenly shot out from the light ball.

“Puff, puff, puff~~~”

When they saw the light coming out, they felt as if something was penetrating their bodies.

Wait until the light fades away.

Only the three brothers and sisters are still alive, because the transformations they underwent allowed them to withstand such attacks, but their subordinates were not so lucky.

"Damn, what kind of ability is this??"

The three men looked down at their chests, which were completely charred and even the defensive baffle inside showed signs of being melted.

Behind the baffle is their core. Once the core is destroyed, they will die even if their brains are intact.

"Stop talking nonsense and run away!"

Finally, it was the eldest brother, Chilias, who interrupted the two men's conversation.

"Let's go through the underground sewers and find the Mechanicus. They are the only ones who can save us now."

"Is it that simple?" Li Zhongren used his stealth ability to let Ross take him into the sky, and then continued to gather energy. Finally, a laser cannon network covered almost the entire city of Pereira.

Now all the question marks in the three strongholds have disappeared.

There are only three red dots left, implying a crazy escape in the sewer.

Sure enough, it was hidden in the sewer.

However, Li Zhongren was not in a hurry to chase, and he had no need to chase. Now he could absorb electromagnetic fluctuations in the sky, and then carry out targeted strikes through the three-dimensional map. He could fight beyond visual range. Who would play a dog fight with you?

Li Harry: "Li Steam, are you there?"

"Yes, brother."

Li Harry: "I analyzed the haze you gave me and got some results."

"What's the result?"

Li Harry: "In short, this smog is like a kind of domain, or a transformation of the environment. If my guess is correct, there should be some kind of creature living in your city. It must be under this kind of smog to survive. Of course, to be more precise, smog will be generated wherever it is. This is the impact of its power on the environment."

"Damn, from what you said, brother, how come he looks a bit like an ancient god?"

Li Harry: "It's possible, but it's more likely the corpse of an ancient god or something like that. If it's an ancient god, you're already dead."

"Then I'm ready to call for help at any time. I can't defeat the Ancient God."

Li Zhongren admitted defeat decisively. He was very powerful now, with beyond-visual-range strikes and map cannons. However, his shortcomings were also obvious. That was, with his current strength, the amount of electromagnetic wave energy he could gather had an upper limit. To put it simply, his "battery" was only that big.

This kind of attack is fine against humans, but it is not enough against ancient gods.

Li Harry: "Then you should find Li Huoying. He is now powerful enough to devour the corpses of the ancient gods. After all, he mainly focuses on developing the bloodline of the sacred tree."

"OK, Brother Li Hokage, are you free?"

Hokage Lee: "Send a message when the fight starts, it will arrive in seconds."

"receive."
-
"No???"

Chilias brought his younger brother and sister to a place in the underground sewer, but found that the place was already deserted.

At this moment, he realized that the other party had not really given any details.

But think about it, even their adoptive father didn't know the true location of the Mechanicus, so how could he possibly tell the three of them?

"Then what do we do?"

"How to do?"

"Run away."

Chilias turned back.

"One of my transformations allows me to contact my subordinates, but just now, did you know that all of my hundreds of subordinates died in an instant?"

Chilias's glasses were a little red.

"This means that the ball of light just now attacked all of us in an instant. I don't know how he did it, but I know that he was able to locate our group of nearly a thousand people in an instant. The three of us didn't die because his attack was dispersed."

"Next time, if he only targets the three of us, or just one of us, we will definitely die."

"it is good."

Although the other two were somewhat unwilling, they still nodded. With their current abilities, they had no way of fighting against an enemy that they couldn't even see.

"Then let's call it quits."

There are underground sewers that extend in all directions, and they plan to escape from Pereira through the sewers.

"Hehehe"

But at this moment, a laugh attracted their attention, and when they looked over, it was none other than the leader of the Mechanicus who had found them earlier.

A man who is always wrapped in a cloak.

"Are you willing to come out?"

Seeing this man, hope reappeared in Chilias' eyes.

"So, will you help us?"

"of course"

The cloaked man nodded and tapped his cane. Chilias and his two brothers and sisters found that they seemed to be unable to control their bodies. Their bodies began to twist and deform. With screams, their bodies broke into several pieces. Then these bloody pieces gathered together again. The three of them formed a monster with three heads, six arms and six legs.
"Fuck, that's really disgusting."

"Who?"

The cloaked man turned his head and saw the target person.

In fact, the reason why he showed up was that Li Zhongren's full-screen laser attack had attracted the leader's attention, so he asked him to come over, intending to use these three people as bait. However, how did this man break through the sect's layers of surveillance in the sewer and get here?
"Pfft!"

Unfortunately, the other party didn't even give him a chance to talk nonsense.

With a wave of his hand, the three-in-one monster, including him, was tied up, squeezed, and twisted by the vines that came out of the ground.

"Damn, boss, you are still the best."

Seeing Li Huoying's carefree and relaxed work, Li Qiqi was full of envy, but who made him unlucky enough to encounter such a stupid system fragment?

"Haha, take your time, you will be like this sooner or later."

Hokage Lee shrugged and read the man's memories directly.

Just as you guessed, Li Harry is indeed the corpse of an ancient god.

As he spoke, a large number of vines emerged from under Li Zhongren's feet and wrapped around him. Like a drilling machine, they dived madly and went all the way down to a depth of hundreds of meters. There was a huge underground space here, which was also the lair of the Mechanical Cult.

"What kind of ancient god's corpse?"

"Through induction, they found out that it was called something like Mechanical Galaxus, but it only had one arm."

"Oh!"

Li Zhongren landed on the ground and looked into the distance. This huge underground cave was filled with red dots of light. These were defenders corrupted by Mecha-Jaraxus. They were extremely powerful, but their only weakness was that they could not leave the vicinity of Mecha-Jaraxus. Otherwise, the Mechanicus would have brought disaster to the world long ago.

In fact, their research over the years has always been aimed at releasing the power of the ancient gods, and the corrupt steam is one of the results of their research.

"Snapped!"

Li Huoying was too lazy to waste time and simply clapped his hands. Endless tree roots emerged from the sky and the ground, sweeping across wherever they passed. The bloodline of the sacred tree had been completely mastered by him, and everything could be devoured cleanly.

"Finish and call it a day!"

After ten breaths.

The entire Mechanicus was wiped out.

"call"

After a while, Hokage Lee took a breath.

"Come on, Li Steam, let's go to the border."

"what happened?"

"This ancient god's arm is very useful to Li Elden. He is a product of your world. You should be able to gain great benefits from Li Elden. Moreover, by sacrificing this arm, I think we should be able to start a summoning and find a new world."

"it is good."
