Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 589 - 419: Electronic Lifeforms
The violent mechanical monsters ignored everything and rushed to the mechanical platform, immediately activating various destruction modes.
The entire mechanical platform was torn into countless fragments by them, scattered on the ground, signifying their previous existence.
"Tsk tsk, we haven’t obtained any valuable intelligence from layers four and five, yet we’ve already lost nearly a hundred Tier Four Transformers.
Grey Wolf, send in the micro insect detectors directly and figure out what’s inside that can attract the baby bear. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Once we’ve done the reconnaissance and confirmed the location, we can decide on our next move."
Directly storming into the fifth underground layer is obviously not feasible.
After all, in this current four-layer steel maze, the Tier Nine mechanical monsters haven’t even started to move yet.
With a dozen of these things in the relatively small fourth layer maze, trying to pass through their territory will definitely spark a war.
Now, knowing that the underground steel maze holds certain dangers, Mo Qingchen does not want his Guardian Beast to take risks.
You could say that currently, the only ones in his hand capable of taking down these Tier Nine mechanical monsters are the Chaos Divine Beast after merging, Edward, and Kasi.
The underground maze was built by aliens, and it’s an interstellar civilization, so their technology is self-explanatory.
Although the Chaos Divine Beast is extremely powerful, capable of reaching Epic King-level upon eruption, its essence is still a Digimon, a special electronic organism generated by countless virtual data.
The special magnetic field in the underground maze can implant viruses into the Transformers, clearly indicating a data intrusion, who knows if it would affect the Chaos Divine Beast’s underlying database.
Mo Qingchen is not willing to take such a risk.
As for Edward and Kasi, in the end, they are soul bodies, albeit extremely special.
But the global red fog can cause any organism to mutate, unsure if it will be affected by the red fog.
Moreover, the fourth layer isn’t large, fairly narrow, and battling in such a place would definitely be a major limitation for Edward and Kasi.
Breaking through this defensive layer in a short time is impossible, and any unforeseen events are beyond prediction.
Importantly, Grey Wolf has confirmed that this underground steel maze is still operating normally, and the enemy can still control those mechanical monsters in the maze.
This indicates that the lowest fifth layer is definitely hiding some secret, and there may even be surviving extraterrestrials!
"Boss, wait a moment, I’ll release all the micro probes from the spacecraft now."
Grey Wolf did not hesitate and immediately started the operation.
A large number of insect-type detectors flew out from the opened cabin door underneath the spacecraft, swarming into the blasted passageway.
These insect detectors move at incredible speeds, zooming like lightning through the direct passageway to the bottom.
On the spacecraft, countless screens appeared, but they’ve been processed, with only useful ones presented before Mo Qingchen and the others.
In just ten minutes, a large number of insect detectors had sunk into the fourth underground layer.
Arriving here, part of the insect detectors spread out, probing the fourth layer steel maze.
One by one, Tier Nine mechanical monsters appeared on the screen projection.
These mechanical monsters are massive in size, at least twenty meters tall, covered in metal and circuitry, with extremely monstrous appearances, looking particularly sinister and terrifying.
However, from their exteriors, it’s still evident that these mechanical monsters have been modified from Exotic Beasts.
Especially among them, there’s a mechanical abnormal dwarf that Mo Qingchen and the others are most familiar with, magnified dozens of times.
But now, several different types of mechanical monsters are all in a sleeping state, seemingly like cold metal machinery with no signs of life.
"The mechanical monsters collected here are likely modified from the mutated Exotic Beasts after the red fog descended."
Looking at the boar magnified several times, if it weren’t for the metal shell covered in rust stains, Mo Qingchen would have thought it was a real mutated wild boar.
If a simulated skin were added, it might not be evident that it’s a modified mechanical monster.
"Boss, these mechanical monsters are all in dormant mode, except for the energy running inside the Energy Core, the entire machine is silent with no energy flux."
Grey Wolf manipulated some insect robots, crawling into the interior of the machines through the metal gaps, gathering various data.
"It seems the other party cannot detect the intrusion by the insect robots, which is a good thing."
Nodding, Mo Qingchen looked at another screen where the images transmitted by the insect robots that infiltrated the fifth layer were displayed.
However, compared to the previous layers, this transmission showed some snowy interference dots.
"The fifth layer has a very strong interference magnetic field, affecting the transmission of images from the insect detectors."
Despite the unclear images and occasional snowflakes, lots can still be seen.
The entire fifth layer is a huge research laboratory, filled with various instruments, most of which are still operating, emitting a faint glow.
"Grey Wolf, check for the database, see if you can hack in, and also keep an eye out for any surviving extraterrestrials."
This Secret Realm, Civilization’s Wound, is truly a relic of an interstellar-level extraterrestrial civilization.
To have achieved such interstellar civilization accomplishments, is it really impossible for some extraterrestrials to survive?
Regarding the extraterrestrials on the planet being abandoned by their group, but all of them can’t be completely wiped out, there might be someone hidden, observing everything from the shadows, who knows.
"Boss, no normal life forms discovered, but found a few still functioning robots, with Energy Levels of Tier One to Tier Three."
The insect detectors rapidly spread throughout the entire fifth layer laboratory, even appearing in buried pipelines.
"Try to let the insect detectors hack into these robots to see if control can be seized."
Clearly, these robots still in operation are remnants from the extraterrestrials.
"Hacking in progress, but it’ll take some time, and I’ve found the database, hacking is underway though the firewall is extremely strong."
Grey Wolf watched the rapidly scrolling data on the screen, a strange gleam flashed in his wolf eyes, and he furrowed his brow.
Mo Qingchen, observing everything, noticed Grey Wolf’s anomaly first.
"Grey Wolf, what’s up? Did you encounter any problem?"
"Boss, the hacked database is overwhelmingly large, even comparable to the spacecraft’s database, and I’ve detected an unknown signal trying to infiltrate the spacecraft’s programs!"
Grey Wolf gesticulated with a flurry of paw shadows, madly tapping on the virtual keyboard.
"Be careful, if it’s insurmountable, immediately break the signal connection!"
Mo Qingchen does not want any mishap, especially concerning the spacecraft, which is one of his biggest trump cards.
If it were seized by the opponent, then troubles would multiply.
"Don’t worry, boss, I’m not a pushover now! Besides, I’ve discovered something very interesting."
Grey Wolf’s face lit up with excitement, and as he furiously manipulated the virtual keyboard, his expression grew increasingly thrilled.
"Ha... these extraterrestrials have transferred their consciousness into the server to survive, transforming themselves into electronic life forms, haha..."
Grey Wolf cackled at the data captured by the spacecraft while beginning to analyze their various data.
Grey Wolf, with the spacecraft’s intelligent super program, quickly captured over a dozen electronic life forms, immediately establishing electronic prisons for them and began extracting various data from them.
