Dragons and angels passed silently through the dark underground caverns.
Anastasia cast a levitation spell for Eureka and slowly followed behind.
The countless mechanical slaves below were unaware of it and were collecting evil crystals on their own.
Before the mechanical memory threw the Hasima body into the transformation workshop, Selina grabbed the dying Naga swordsman and pulled him out of the pile of corpses.
Boom——
Along with the loud noise, a large number of corpses fell into the transformation workshop.
Soon, this machinery manufacturing plant will produce a new batch of modified bodies.
After rescuing Naga Swordsman, Li Ran realized that he must leave here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once the team that sneaks into the dungeon is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.
But before making a formal decision, an idea suddenly flashed in Li Ran's mind.
"Wherever there is a machinery manufacturing plant, there will be a Mechanical Saint, otherwise those psychic machines will be paralyzed."
"If he's not here, where will he be?"
Li Ran rode on the back of the dragon and raised his head to look at the top of the machinery manufacturing factory.
There, a spiral staircase extends out, leading to the top of the rock formation.
"Up above is the palace of the Eternal Queen!"
Li Ran realized it immediately.
"The Mechanical God is in the Queen's Palace!"
Although he knew the location of the enemy leader, Li Ran faced a difficult choice.
After discovering the true situation of Nariya and accidentally saving the unconscious Naga swordsman, he has exceeded the set goal.
Retreating from the original route is the safest and most secure solution.
But Li Ran's thinking is very different from ordinary people.
After returning to the fleet, you can of course choose to lead a large army to launch a frontal clearing and attack on Naria.
However, when fighting against a large number of modified creatures in street battles, the Star Wind Legion will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
At this moment, the infiltration team has reached the deepest part of the dungeon.
Being surrounded by countless modified bodies certainly means great danger.
But on the other hand, this also means that they have sneaked into the enemy's most vulnerable heartland!
Treat the current predicament as an absolute danger and run away hastily?
Or are you willing to take risks and seek opportunities in desperate situations?
This difficult choice was all in Li Ran's mind.
The exploration team was already ready to evacuate.
Suddenly, Li Ran's voice sounded clearly.
"Salina, fly up!"
The giant dragon let out an excited roar, raised its neck, carried Li Ran, and flew towards the spiral staircase leading to the Queen's Palace.
Li Ran pulled out the fine iron feather from his waist and said sternly:
"The Mechanical Holy Envoy is in the palace above. We have no reason to escape. Champion warriors of the Star Wind Territory, use all your strength - kill the enemy's leader before they can react!"
The guardian angel drew out the holy sword and said with a serious expression: "Tia received it!"
The silver dragon Baiyue roared low, folded its wings and followed closely.
Murasel showed an unexpected expression: "He is such an adventurous man..."
Anastasia and Eureka were at the back of the line.
The necromancer looked at Li Ran's back, thoughtfully.
In front of her eyes, the figure of another man who once owned the Feather of Fine Iron gradually overlapped with Li Ran.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The battlefield environment is often complex, and only a wise commander can assess the situation, adapt to changes in external conditions, and take unplanned actions.
There is no doubt that Li Ran has this quality.
After passing through the spiral staircase, the exploration team carried out a swift and decisive invasion.
They searched and cleared rooms one after another. No matter whether it was the mechanical shark or the transformed Naga swordsman, they could not stop the joint attack of multiple champion creatures. They were often killed in a single encounter. There was no time to send any signal.
This was once the main hall of the royal palace where the Eternal Queen lived.
The cyan-tone masonry is full of battle traces, telling the fierce resistance fought by Hasima's guards.
And now, the invaders are being massacred by the Griffin Sword in the same place.
After clearing out the bottom floor of the palace, the Feather of Fine Iron held by Li Ran was stained with the corrupted blood of depravity.
He stood in front of the steps leading to the upper floor, closing his eyes and meditating.
The psychic vision ability produced because his soul was contaminated by the Star Breaker not only gave him extraordinary vision, but also allowed him to see through the psychic nature of things.
At the same time, it also gave Li Ran a keener perception of the creatures in the Broken Star camp.
Invisible purple psychic threads were extending downward along the steps above, slowly fluttering in front of his eyes.
This is the spiritual power that only leader-level star-shattering creatures possess!
Li Ran suddenly opened his eyes and said firmly: "The Mechanical Holy Envoy is up there! Everyone, rush with me!"
Li Ran raised his divine sword and strode up the steps, followed by the champion warriors.
The modified body blocking the ascending passage was vulnerable to the Dragon's Fist and the Angel's Holy Sword. Li Ran ran up to the fourth floor of the Queen's Palace without any delay.
In the spacious royal court, the Mechanical Holy Envoy sat proudly on the coral throne of the Eternal Queen, with his mechanical prosthetic arm on his face, closing his eyes and meditating.
Under the throne on the high platform are the transformed bodies of twelve powerful sixth-order Naga sword masters.
The guards immediately discovered the attackers who invaded the royal court, wagging their snake tails and charging towards the enemy.
For the Mechanical Saint, being stationed in Naria to guard the machinery manufacturing factory is really a boring job.
The machine race has swept across the Emerald Ocean, and the once glorious Hasima Empire has been torn apart.
Under such circumstances, Nariya became an absolutely safe place that no one could reach.
"Who dares to disturb the sleep of King Naria?"
The Mechanical Holy Envoy slowly opened his eyes.
Unfortunately, his perception and movements are too slow.
As soon as the Mechanical Holy Envoy's visual sensor was turned on, he saw a dragon's mouth that was full of sharp teeth and getting bigger and bigger.
While the others were entangled in the guard's Naga transformation, Selina had already jumped into the air, rushed to the top of the throne, bit the Mechanical Holy Envoy into her mouth, and held it up in the air!
"Roar!!!"
Along with the roar that resounded throughout the royal court, the scorching dragon's breath spurted out from Selina's throat, melting the Mechanical Holy Envoy that was still struggling in her mouth into a puddle of molten iron.
"Good job! Selina!" Li Ran patted Heilong's neck excitedly, and his nervousness immediately relaxed.
The mechanical race can use psychic technology to transform and drive the dead, and the powerful machinery manufacturing factory can continuously devour resources and produce an army of transformed bodies.
But they also have fatal weaknesses.
That is, the mechanical transformation body has no independent consciousness and only has killing instinct. It needs the mechanical holy messenger to act as the upper-level command node in order to be able to act in a unified manner and become a terrifying army.
Once the Mechanical Holy Envoy dies, not only will the machinery manufacturing factory he controls be paralyzed, but all nearby modified soldiers will also lose their unified command and become a scattered, ragtag mass!
It’s not that this mechanical emissary didn’t set up sentry posts for the dungeon, but Li Ran’s ghostly reconnaissance and sneak assassination plan was too cumbersome. No mechanical transformation could send an alarm to the palace when it discovered the enemy.
Li Ran's beheading operation was a great success!
