Clang—

Two glowing green treasure chests dropped to the ground.

Two B-grade equipment pieces obtained!

(C-grade White, B-grade Green, A-grade Blue, S-grade Purple, SS-grade Orange, SSS-grade Gold)

Lin Du, utilizing the speed advantage of Death Clown, compressed the time spent on the first two floors of the Qin Kings Underground Palace to the shortest possible.

At this point, the advantage of not having teammates became apparent.

After all, not every player has Lin Du's abnormal speed; if teammates were to slow down, it would be impossible to easily shake off the dense mechanical army.

Lin Du completely wore out the cumbersome mechanical army... Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance, third underground floor.

The environment here was much quieter than the first two floors, even eerily quiet.

Within the vast space, giant space capsules were arranged, with no sign of a mechanical monster otherwise.

When Lin Du stepped in, he immediately noticed the hundred space capsules gathered in the center of the space.

The Mechanical Race is an alien species; some low to mid-level Mechanical Race members need to travel in space capsules to reach the Ancestral Star, and these capsules contain the nutrient fluid necessary for their survival.

Lin Du, gripping his silver charm blade, quickly walked towards the space capsules.

There are no shortcuts on this floor!

To proceed to the next floor, all mechanical monsters in the space capsules must be eliminated.

On the outer shells of numerous space capsules, red alarms blared, "Beep beep beep."

Sizzle—

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

As the alarms sounded, white mist billowed from the space capsules, and mechanical warriors deftly leaped out.

In just seven or eight seconds, a hundred mechanical warriors formed a tight combat formation!

Although the number of mechanical monsters on the third underground floor of the palace was small, their combat discipline and talent were clearly much stronger than those on the first two floors.

The metal structures and body lines of these mechanical warriors were perfectly constructed.

Wielding fine steel longblades, they exuded chilling killing intent!

Monster: High-Energy Mechanical Warrior (Elite-grade)

Level: 14

Description: An elite Mechanical Race warrior, tempered through countless trials, possessing powerful combat strength nearing Lord-level. Impeccable when forming a combat formation.

Upon reaching the third underground floor of the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance, the instance difficulty skyrocketed!

High-Energy Warriors are the Mechanical Race's sharpest weapons on the star battlefield. Formations of High-Energy Warriors can crush strong individuals of other races at the same level.

These hundred High-Energy Warriors, gathered as one, formed a formation that felt impenetrable and flawless... The High-Energy Warrior formation advanced step by step towards Lin Du.

The heavy footsteps combined with their chilling armor created a formidable sense of oppression out of thin air.

"My little darlings, I'm coming." Lin Du charged forward with his blade, resembling an ancient general single-handedly storming a formation.

The moment Lin Du attacked, the High-Energy Warrior formation rapidly spread out, transforming into an arrowhead aimed directly at Lin Du.

The two dozen High-Energy Warriors at the very front of the arrowhead completely sealed off Lin Du's next movement path from all directions.

The gleaming fine steel blades ferociously stabbed at all of Lin Du's vital points!

Just one strike showcased the top-tier coordination among the High-Energy Warriors... Lin Du grinned, his speed suddenly increasing.

Whoosh—

The silver charm blade cleaved the nearest High-Energy Warrior in two with a single strike.

Lin Du seized this tiny gap, darting out of the High-Energy Warriors' encirclement like a nimble fish. His target was clear: he headed straight for the four corners of the formation... The main reason the High-Energy Warrior formation could act in unison and with swift agility was the four High-Energy Warriors constantly directing from the four corners.

These four High-Energy Warriors oversaw the entire situation, issuing commands every second.

If they were to die, the power of the High-Energy Warrior formation would undoubtedly be greatly diminished!

This was one of the loopholes Lin Du had exploited in the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance... Lin Du, with his absolute speed advantage, repeatedly dodged the High-Energy Warriors' tight blockade.

Soon, he reached the back-left corner.

"Die!"

Pfft—

The silver charm blade was as swift as a ghost, drawing a graceful arc in the air, piercing the heart of the High-Energy Warrior in front of him with a single strike... With one commander dead, the High-Energy Warrior formation experienced a momentary pause.

It was like a machine suddenly hitting an emergency stop switch and ceasing operation.

Lin Du seized the opportunity and quickly dealt with the other three commanders as well.

With all four commanders dead, the High-Energy Warrior formation fell into disarray, losing its flexible coordination, and its threat was greatly reduced.

Lin Du went all out, rapidly weaving through the High-Energy Warriors.

Pfft—

Pfft pfft pfft—

The silver charm blade struck with precise accuracy, each blow felling a High-Energy Warrior.

...It took about two minutes for the remaining 90-plus High-Energy Warriors to all fall beneath Lin Du's blade.

As a golden light flashed across his body, Lin Du's level successfully rose to 15.

After eliminating all High-Energy Warriors, Lin Du headed straight for the boss area on the 3rd floor of the palace.

From a distance, a large space capsule came into Lin Du's view.

This space capsule was the size of a bus, fiery crimson all over, its appearance alone indicating that a powerful monster was hidden within.

Hiss—

The red space capsule's door slowly opened, and two ferocious dragon claws "thwacked" onto the edge of the capsule.

Immediately after, a massive dragon head emerged from the space capsule.

Below the dragon head was not a dragon's body, but a terrifyingly muscular mechanical human torso.

Hoo—
