A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 998 - 984: Cai’s Invitation

After surrounding Baiyu, the three did not exchange much communication; almost simultaneously, they attacked in unison.

Baiyu's body instantly exploded with golden light, and the massive force instantly made the three pause.

Seize this opportunity.

Baiyu instantly moved backward, trying to retreat to Erza's side. Although Erza had not yet awakened from the frozen state, it was clear she was conscious.

At the very least.

The chill of the ice block would slow their attack rhythm.

That small house had already turned into something like an ice cellar. Entering without preparation could likely cause their blood Qi to stagnate, imposing certain limits on their actions.

If he could stall for a moment, he would.

Now Baiyu could only avoid the sharp edge, capture the moment when one of the three showed a flaw, and then defeat one with a thunderous method before slowly dealing with the remaining two.

This was the only method he could think of.

However.

As he approached the stone house, a mechanical warrior, standing two meters tall, emerged in front of the stone house.

If Baiyu was not mistaken.

The opponent should have descended from the sky, with an extremely stylish arrival.

When the mechanical warrior appeared, Baiyu immediately felt something was off. Though it was a mechanical creation, it gave off an overwhelmingly powerful sensation.

For an Extraordinary.

Trusting one's instincts would never be wrong.

If this robot made Baiyu feel danger, then it could undoubtedly threaten him.

Especially the mechanical skin on its body, which looked just like human skin—something current technology couldn't produce.

With just one glance.

Baiyu confirmed that the technology contained within this robot was extremely advanced, likely originating from some ancient black technology.

After the robot appeared.

Mike Tea and the other two also focused on this uninvited guest. They didn't approach immediately, but after hesitating for a moment, over ten more robots appeared covertly, completely sealing off all the exit routes around.

Originally, the three were surrounding Baiyu.

Now, it was the four of them who ended up being surrounded by the robots.

"What are these things? Guards within the Seven Coiling Hall?"

Mike Tea squinted his eyes.

Looking at these robots, he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.

The leaders of the Hermit Order and the Divination Master also frowned slightly at the sight of these robots, feeling like it was something they had seen in Ancient Books, but they weren't sure.

After all, the Frost Imperial had been gone for tens of thousands of years.

Tens of thousands of years.

Enough time to erase all traces. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Mechanical Undead only existed in book records, and mostly in those obscure, poorly detailed books, with only brief mentions.

So the two were uncertain if the robots in front of them were related to Mechanical Undead, merely feeling that their appearances somewhat resembled those legendary things.

"Attack, kill them."

At this moment.

A familiar voice from Baiyu's memories sounded.

At the entrance to the medicine garden, a young girl appeared, none other than Cai, whom Baiyu had met before.

The opponent, as the Ship Spirit of the Legendary Ship.

Baiyu hadn't expected her to appear in the medicine garden at this moment.

Following Cai's command, the Mechanical Undead swarmed forward, beams of ion laser shooting out, instantly piercing through Mike Tea and the other two's bodies.

Almost without any ability to resist.

Facing the Mechanical Undead's seamless attack, the three couldn't even manage the most basic defense and were bombarded to the ground.

Afterward, laser beams repeatedly penetrated their bodies.

In front of Baiyu.

In a moment, red, green, and blue beams filled the view.

It felt like a sci-fi movie was being shot.

After this round of bombardment, the three lay on the ground like dead fish, with countless wounds on their bodies, blood continuously flowing from the wounds, long without a sound.

In a moment.

After the Mechanical Undead's attack ended, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Cai walked to Baiyu's side: "Long time no see, Baiyu. Didn't expect to meet here."

Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Indeed, long time no see. Didn't you say you were going to explore deeper into the Spirit Realm?"

"I've been in the Spirit Realm these past few months. These Mechanical Undead are the helpers I found, a very powerful force."

Cai snapped her fingers, and information about the Mechanical Undead rapidly transmitted to Baiyu's mind.

This was a unique ability of a Legendary Ship's Ship Spirit.

To this day, Baiyu didn't know how they managed to achieve such rapid knowledge transfer. He'd once asked Erza, but Erza also didn't know, only responding that she could do it subconsciously, so she did it.

This answer was quite absurd.

But Erza couldn't have lied, so these Ship Spirits truly didn't know how they achieved this step.

Soon, Baiyu understood all the information regarding the Mechanical Undead.

They were the Frost Imperial's number one weapon.

Dubbed a scientific miracle, the Mechanical Undead had near-immortal characteristics.

So many years had passed, and with the fall of the Frost Imperial, Mechanical Undead had long since vanished from the world.

Occasionally, one might find one or two ancient Mechanical Cabins left behind.

But due to energy depletion, the Mechanical Undead within would automatically destroy themselves, turning into a pile of useless scrap metal.

So despite all countries and major forces striving to research Mechanical Undead and crack their technological protection codes, they couldn't find a single complete Mechanical Undead body.

After receiving this series of information, Baiyu immediately grasped the immense wealth Cai held.

These Mechanical Undead.

If owned and studied by various governments, unlocking the technology of Mechanical Undead would be a qualitative leap for all humanity.

However.

Cai instantly saw through Baiyu's thoughts and shook her head: "In every Mechanical Undead from the Frost Imperial, there's a level of technological protection programmed. If these Mechanical Undead sense any risk of leaking, they will self-destruct without hesitation.

And upon their death.

Their bodies will molecularize, leaving no useful information to be had."

Baiyu's eyes showed a hint of regret; indeed, there were technological protection measures. Otherwise, after so many years, there should have been at least one organization in the world obtaining Mechanical Undead.

"So, what do you plan to do now? Find a resource for them, and then what?"

Baiyu looked at Cai.

"I need to establish myself in the Human World. You know, I am a Ship Spirit now and cannot leave the confines of the Legendary Ship, so I need a place to settle.

On this trip into the Spirit Realm, I've gone far and entered many Tidal Worlds, discovering lots of intriguing things.

I need your assistance.

Let's discuss this matter later on the Legendary Ship; you hold a Count title in the East Prosperity Imperial, along with its associated territory.

At that time.

We can work together to accomplish something major."

Excitement gleamed in Cai's eyes.
