194: Chapter 194 They are down there.

Just at this moment.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The ground suddenly began to tremble rhythmically and violently, as if some colossal creature was approaching. The abandoned metal racks on the roadside rattled loudly from the tremors.

"Something is coming! It's a big one!"

Ye Fei threw herself onto the ground to listen for a second, her face changing abruptly:

"These footsteps aren't right! They're too heavy! And... there's no heartbeat?!"

Before she could finish speaking.

"Roar—!! Bzzzt—!!"

A bizarre roar, mixed with the growl of a beast and the static of an electric current, erupted from behind a ruin ahead.

Immediately after, a dilapidated wall was brutally smashed to pieces.

A giant beast, standing three stories tall with a hideous and terrifying appearance, appeared before everyone.

It was a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But it was not an ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Half of its body still retained its flesh and blood, with muscles knotted beneath dark red scales.

But the other half of its body, and even half of its entire head, had been completely replaced by cold, heavy silver alloy armor!

One eye was a beastly slit pupil, while the other was an electronic prosthetic eye flickering with red light!

Its right claw had been modified into a giant, high-frequency vibrating chainsaw, and two metal exhaust pipes emitting steam were stuck into its back.

【Experimental Subject · Mechanical Tyrannosaurus (Semi-finished Product)】

【Rank: Fifth Rank (Corresponding to Lv.100)】

【Status: Berserk / Undergoing Mechanical Modification】

"Fifth... Fifth Rank?!"

The moment Li Murou saw the monster, she was so scared she almost dropped her harp of time reversal:

"A Lv.100 BOSS right off the bat?! Isn't this too cheap?!"

"So this is mechanical modification?"

Chen Xi looked at the half-flesh, half-metal monster, a flash of disgust and gravity in his eyes:

"Sure enough, they are using fierce beasts for experiments!"

"Roar!!"

The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus locked onto these few tiny intruders, its electronic prosthetic eye flashing with red light. It did not hesitate in the slightest, opened its half-metal maw, and sprayed a jet of scorching flames mixed with plasma beams directly at them!

"Scatter!"

Chen Xi roared.

Su Xiaoxiao reacted the fastest, activating Void Walk to instantly teleport everyone dozens of meters away.

Boom!

The spot where they had been standing was instantly melted into a pool of magma.

"Since it's a semi-finished product, then let's send it back to the furnace for remodeling!"

A cold glint flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, and lightning crackled on the magic staff in her hand.

"【Void Thunder Punishment · Spirit Spear】!"

A purple thunder spear carrying an aura of destruction thrust directly toward the half of the Tyrannosaurus's body that was not covered by any armor.

However.

"Zzz—"

Just as the thunder spear was about to hit, the metal armor on the Tyrannosaurus suddenly ejected a layer of light blue energy shield, enveloping its entire body.

The lightning struck the shield, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea; it only stirred up a ripple before being completely absorbed and diverted!

"Insulation coating? Energy absorption?!"

Su Xiaoxiao's expression changed:

"This armor is specifically designed against elemental attacks!"

"Ye Fei! Control it!"

Chen Xi ordered.

Ye Fei gritted her teeth, the divine mark on her forehead lighting up as she attempted to use the pressure of the Divine Maiden of Ten Thousand Spirits to intimidate this giant beast.

"Kneel!!"

However, the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus only paused slightly, and after its electronic prosthetic eye flashed wildly a few times, it actually forcibly suppressed its instinctual biological fear.

"Beep— Biological brain region shielded— Switching to mechanical custody mode!"

A cold, synthesized mechanical voice emanated from within its body.

The next second, the Tyrannosaurus rushed over, waving its chainsaw claw even more crazily!

"It's useless! It has a chip in its brain! Even if it wants to kneel, the program won't let it!"

Ye Fei shouted anxiously.

Extremely high physical defense, maxed-out elemental resistance, and it didn't even succumb to mental control.

This was simply a perfect killing machine!

Seeing the Tyrannosaurus already rushing close, the giant chainsaw swung down with a foul wind.

Chen Xi's brain worked at high speed, instantly activating Miracle Deduction to analyze the monster's structure.

"The armor was installed post-birth... the connection points are at the spine and heart..."

"Wait! Those armors aren't perfect!"

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Xi's eyes as he looked at Li Murou:

"Mu Rou! The opportunity lies with you!"

"The mechanical part and the flesh part of this monster haven't completely fused! They were forcibly stitched together!"

"Use your ability to 'dismantle' its armor!"

"Dismantle it?"

Li Murou was stunned, then suddenly realized.

The harp of time reversal in her hands played suddenly; the sound was no longer sorrowful, but a strange rewinding noise.

"【Time Rewind · Partial Reset】!!"

Hum—!

A golden ring of light precisely encased the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus.

Within this ring, time began to flow backward crazily.

Five seconds... ten seconds... one minute...

"Clack, clack, clack!"

The precise and heavy alloy armor on the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus suddenly emitted unbearable noises.

The screws and rivets used to fix the armor actually began to unscrew and fall off one by one!

The wires connecting to its nerves began to disconnect automatically!

"Roar?!"

The Tyrannosaurus let out a terrified roar.

It watched helplessly as the impenetrable turtle shell on its body scattered all over the ground like building blocks under the scouring of the rules of time!

Revealing the bloody, unhealed flesh and blood beneath!

"Now is the time! A turtle without its shell is just a dish!"

Chen Xi roared.

"Go to hell!"

Su Xiaoxiao, who had finished charging her power, no longer had any reservations.

Her figure flashed, and she appeared directly above the Tyrannosaurus's head.

She plunged her magic staff directly into the gap in the flesh that had lost its armor protection!

"【Void Thunder Punishment · Internal Explosion】!!"

Rumble—!!!

The terrifying power of thunder poured directly into the Tyrannosaurus's body, exploding from the inside out.

Without the protection of the insulating armor, its fragile internal organs were instantly cooked.

"Awooo..."

The Mechanical Tyrannosaurus let out an unwilling whine, its huge body collapsed with a crash, and its electronic prosthetic eye extinguished completely.

The battle was over.

Chen Xi walked forward and kicked away a piece of scattered metal armor.

On the inside of that armor, he saw a familiar symbol—

A purple vortex with a mechanical eye engraved in the center.

"It really is the Men in Black."

Chen Xi's expression was grim as he looked at this giant beast that had been modified beyond recognition:

"They are doing this 'Mechanical Ascension' stuff."

"Let's go! Go inside! I want to see exactly how many lives they have ruined!"

Crossing over the corpse of the Mechanical Tyrannosaurus, the Nirvana Battle Team officially stepped into the core area of this place called the "Fallen Wasteland."

It was less of a wasteland and more of a combination of a massive open-air junkyard and a slaughterhouse.

Everywhere there were huge metal pipes, exposed on the surface like blood vessels, and the sound of mechanical roaring came from underground, accompanied by bursts of bone-chilling hissing.

"This smell... so disgusting."

Li Murou covered her nose; the air was filled with a strange mixture of machine oil, rust, and burnt flesh, which was nauseating.

"Follow me."

Ye Fei walked at the very front; her face was frighteningly pale, and her hands were gripping the corners of her clothes tightly.

As a Beast Tamer, her perception of living beings was a hundred times that of an ordinary person.

At this moment, in her perception, beneath this land, thousands of painful souls were wailing and crying for help. The sound was so shrill that her heart convulsed.

"They... are right below."
