Several of Slayer's doppelgangers tried to escape, but Qi Yuan did not give them the chance to do so. He used his advantage in numbers to block all four of them.
"Where do the few of you wish to go?" Qi Yuan asked with a grin.
Ajiu hid in the mechanical puppet army and did not speak. She pretended to be a mechanical puppet controlled by Qi Yuan to avoid being discovered by Slayer's doppelgangers again.
"Qi Yuan." Number Two stared at Qi Yuan.
"How did you find out?"
The interference from the mechanical ruin was very serious. All kinds of perception and detection methods were almost useless. In order to avoid being discovered, Number Two had put a safe distance between them. He did not expect that even though he was so cautious, he would still be discovered by Qi Yuan and surrounded.
Qi Yuan smiled and did not answer Number Two's question. At such a long distance, of course, he could not discover that someone was following them. However, just because he could not discover them did not mean that the Blazing Angel could not. The Blazing Angel, who had just awakened, sensed the presence of the four people from afar.
The Blazing Angel's sensing method was very simple. That was, there was still energy extracted from her body in these four people's bodies.
"Do the four of you want to go through with the procedure or do you want to put up a symbolic resistance?" Qi Yuan asked.
Number Two glanced at the other doppelgangers who were being controlled and said slowly, "Qi Yuan, don't think that you can do whatever you want here just because you have some control over the technology and authority of the mechanical ruin. The secret of this mechanical ruin is more dangerous than you think. We are not idiots who can be easily controlled by you like these!"
Although the four mechanical doppelgangers had a brief moment of panic in the beginning, they had completely calmed down now. It was as if they had some kind of trump card.
Qi Yuan's gaze passed over the four mechanical doppelgangers. He keenly noticed that there was a purple mark on their eyebrows that looked like a burning flame.
What was that mark?
In the beginning, Qi Yuan did not pay much attention to it when he discovered this mark between Number Ten's eyebrows. This was because every doppelganger of Slayer was different. It was not strange for a mark to appear between Number Ten's eyebrows. Even Number One did not notice anything unusual.
However, now, the same mark had appeared between the eyebrows of these four doppelgangers. Qi Yuan could not help but think deeply about the meaning behind this mark.
"It seems that you know something," Qi Yuan said.
"We do know some secrets. If you are willing to let us go, I am willing to share this secret with you," Number Two said.
"Let's hear it first," Qi Yuan said.
No. 2 was silent for a while, as if he was thinking. After a while, he slowly said, "I found a laboratory, there is a device that can help a mechanical body step into the seventh stage."
Upgrade the mechanical body to Rank-7!
Qi Yuan suddenly laughed.
Slayer was obviously taking advantage of the fact that he had yet to reach the Advanced level. That was why he had tossed out such a seemingly tempting bait that actually did not exist.
If he could really upgrade his Mechanical Golem to the Type 7, even if it was just one, it would be of more help to him than all the Type 6 Mechanical Golems here.
Although this bait was full of temptation, it couldn't deceive him.
If it was really so easy to step into the seventh stage, then the number of Advanced powerhouses outside would not be so small. The more one came into contact with Advanced existences, the more one knew that the most important thing to step into the Advanced level was to have one's own strength. Any external help was just icing on the cake.
Moreover, with his current strength, it was still too difficult to control a Type 7 Mechanical Golem. Even Nine might not be able to perfectly control a Type 7 Mechanical Golem.
"I know you don't believe what I said. Before entering that laboratory, I also didn't believe that there was such a powerful device in this world. However, I saw the complete experimental data in the laboratory, so I can confirm that that laboratory has the magical power to create a Type 7 Mechanical Golem."
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes. Although it was difficult to step into the seventh stage, it was still possible to create a mechanical body comparable to a Type 7 Mechanical Golem. There were suspected to be Advanced Mechanical Golems in those sealed boxes in the Mechanical Golem warehouse.
Although Advanced Mechanical Golems did not equate to Advanced combat power, it was the most crucial step for a Mechanic to step into the Advanced level. It was also a step that most Mechanics could never cross.
In the outside world, to create a Type 7 Mechanical Golem would require a terrifying amount of resources. Moreover, only a few top forces could do it. Even the Biology and Mechanical Laboratory of the Black Steel Shelter did not have the ability to do so.
If he could upgrade a Mechanical Golem to Type 7, even if he couldn't fully display the strength of a Type 7 Mechanical Golem, it would still be stronger than Number 1.
"Since you've already found this magical laboratory, why are you still only at Type 6? With the foundation left behind by your original bodies, the threshold of Type 7 shouldn't be able to stop you," Qi Yuan said.
Number 2 shook his head and said, "Although the laboratory has been preserved, it doesn't have enough energy."
"I know you've already controlled an energy warehouse. If we work together, you can upgrade the Mechanical Golems you control to Type 7 at any time!"
Qi Yuan shook his head and interrupted Number 2, "Okay, don't paint a picture with me."
"Since you know I've already controlled an energy warehouse, you should know that this Mechanical Ruin will fall into my control sooner or later. If you can't prove the value of your existence, you can only accompany Number 1."
Number 2 was silent for a while before saying in a deep voice, "I can take you to the laboratory and tell you how to enter it."
Qi Yuan smiled slightly. "I think you won't mind telling me the approximate location in advance."
Number 2 thought for a while before pointing in a direction and saying, "It's in this direction."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows. There seemed to be a checkpoint in the direction Number 2 was pointing.
Although he knew that the place Number 2 wanted to go would definitely be problematic, if this place coincided with the checkpoint, then it would be interesting.
In the same direction, according to the habit of checkpoints, the possibility of these two places coinciding was very high.
Since it involved the checkpoint, Qi Yuan didn't have the intention to feign civility with Number 2 and the others. Every time he checked in at a checkpoint, he needed to go all out. He didn't have the leisure to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes while he was checking in.
Checking in was the most important thing. Before he officially checked in, all hidden dangers must be eliminated in advance.
"Get ready to move!"
Qi Yuan secretly gave Nine the order to surround and kill.
Nine's eyes lit up. She was about to have a battle to test if she could exert the powerful combat strength calculated by controlling so many Mechanical Golems.
Qi Yuan's sudden attack was completely out of Number 2 and the others' expectations. More than 40 Type 6 Mechanical Golems attacked at the same time against four Type 6 Mechanical Golems. Qi Yuan originally thought that this would be a simple crushing, but the performance of Number 2 and the others was beyond Qi Yuan's expectations.
