Swamp Lord with an Intelligence System

Chapter 100: Two Deals in a Row Small Gains


The swarm first passed through the stone gate to explore the Ancient Ruins.

After confirming there was no danger, the Flesh Butcher entered for a second check, and finally Haggs led the Cold-blooded Cavalry in.

Lear traveled with the Swamp Boggart and the Bubble Beast.

He crossed through the stone gate, feeling no oppressive air.

Instead, he found the air quite refreshing and pleasant.

Evidently, the ventilation was very well done.

Feeling somewhat reassured, he turned his head to look around.

Behind the stone gate was a long arched corridor, over 15 meters tall, and more than 20 meters wide.

The walls were entirely cast in metal, etched with bizarre, twisted runes.

Completely different from ordinary runes, they had a frenzied appearance like drunken writing.

Light emitted from within the walls, illuminating the surroundings.

Like lamps hidden behind glass, but touching them would only meet the wall's metal surface.

As Lear was looking around, rumbling~

The heavy stone gate behind him slowly moved, beginning to close again.

He instinctively turned his head to see the Cyclops behind him trying to stop the gate from closing.

His muscles almost contorted, veins bulging on his neck, and his face turned ferocious.

Low growls came from his throat.

But this six-meter tall creature, even using all its strength, could not stop it.

"Don't worry about it, come on in."

Hearing Lear's command, the Cyclops reluctantly let go, entering the relic before the stone gate fully closed.

Click~

The stone gate closed completely, making a crisp sound of the latch clicking into place.

The Cyclops was somewhat unwilling, trying to open it from the inside, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

Prideful of his great strength, he received quite a blow.

Seeing this, Lear chuckled.

"This is an Ancient Ruins. Who knows how many resources others spent to forge all this... If it could be easily opened by you, it could never have been preserved for so long."

"Regroup!"

The Cyclops was somewhat reassured and followed the team.

Lear didn't bother with this big guy, his eyes turned to the front.

"Everyone stays alert, this Goblin Ruins has a vast number of High Tier Mechanical Puppets, the most formidable being the Level 14 Mechanical Puppet King."

"Perils lurk everywhere, do not underestimate!"

The solemn voice lifted everyone's spirits.

The corridor stretched about two hundred meters, the marching army quietly traversed it.

Silent, only the sound of footsteps.

The moment they emerged from the corridor, Lear's vision suddenly expanded.

A massive open square lay before them.

Its diameter exceeded 500 meters.

The height was at least 50 meters.

The square's edges were piled with a large number of shattered Mechanical Puppets, like refuse, jumbled together beyond recognition.

Entirely made of metal, they bore an abundance of battle scars.

One can only imagine what kind of battle they had to experience to end up so ruined.

What drew the most attention was a Mechanical Puppet in the central area.

Over 15 meters tall!

Humanoid in shape, with four arms, instead of ordinary hands, blades were installed, and even from afar, one could feel its ferocity and grimness.

Extremely oppressive.

The key is... this Mechanical Puppet's body had been split straight down from the head, severed into two parts, the cut clean as if by some sharp weapon.

To slice a 15 meter tall Mechanical Puppet in one blow?

A glimpse of a leopard through a tube, it is hard to imagine what kind of terrifying battle this relic encountered before it ceased to exist.

At this moment, the swarm was flying, but found no path leading deeper.

All around seemed completely isolated.

Lear frowned slightly.

Could this be the entirety of the relic?

Just then, a Crimson Wasp inadvertently brushed its wings against the giant cleaved Mechanical Puppet at the center.

At that moment, its eyes slowly lit up.

The blood-colored light was striking.

"Intruders have entered!"

"Activate the Guardian Legion..."

A stiff voice echoed.

Click~

The Mechanical Puppets piled at the hall's edges emitted a muffled sound and toppled over, crashing to the ground.

Rumble~

The smooth walls around them parted like garage shutters, staggering upward.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of doorways opened.

Lear's eyes narrowed, looking closely, the space inside these doorways was about 10 meters long and 5 meters wide.

Most were empty, with nothing inside them.

Some contained severely damaged Mechanical Puppets.

Only the 10 storage rooms directly ahead at this moment were filled with Mechanical Puppets, showing no signs of wear.

A pair of eyes slowly opened, flashing blood-red light.

"Warning, enemy attack!"

"Warning, enemy attack!"

Their mouths emitted stiff words.

Click~ Click~

The Mechanical Puppets suddenly moved, striding from the storage rooms.

The Puppets resembled the giant cleaved Mechanical Puppet in the central area, albeit shorter, but still reaching 3.5 meters, taller than a floor.

Humanoid structure, the front end of the four arms had no fingers, just double-edged war sabers.

Leaving the storage rooms, one could see the metal casings on their exteriors, engraved with twisted inscriptions, emitting glows.

Seemingly driving their actions.

Mechanical Puppet, Level: 10, Talent: Metal Body, defense increased by 70%, immune to Spirit Magic, as long as the Energy Core isn't damaged, they can continue to fight...

Level 10 Mechanical Puppets!
