Chapter 128: Received, Perfect [Rare]!
“What’s happening?”
“My knife!”
Sensing that the weapons in their hands were getting out of control, members of the Twin Dragon Mount that were fighting against the Metal Men went pale.
It wasn’t just the metal weapons. Strictly speaking, all the metal objects in the battlefield were drawn toward the silver swirl that shone blue at the settlement core of the Metal Men.
“I can’t control my own body!”
Everyone on the battlefield more or less had some metal objects on them.
Common weapons or accessories could just be thrown away, but some of the settlement soldiers wearing metal armor lost their balance as they were pulled. Involuntarily, they fell to the ground and were drawn toward the silver swirl at the center of the energy field; their armor creating sparks as it scratched against the ground.
“Ah!”
Some of the soldiers screamed.
Because the metal objects that were drawn closer moved much faster than the humans, and some of the objects knocked into them, injuring them.
More importantly, apart from the metal shards launched by the Metal race and human weapons, some dead Metal Men were also moving under the pulling force and were picking up the speed!
“Watch out!”
Facing a dead Metal Man in the shape of a flying sword, a settlement soldier who just happened to stand in its course raised his red wood shield in a hurry.
Boom!
The next second, he was knocked away. The Metal Men were very heavy, and at such a high speed, the impact was as forcible as a car crash!
“Stick to the buildings and hold onto something nearby!”
However, at the Metal Men’s settlement core, Ji Ye and the others that were the first to bear the brunt didn’t have such a difficult time because they had a lot of Metal Men’s buildings nearby. The buildings were fixed to the ground, and they could hold onto them.
However, the buildings couldn’t help them much longer, because they were made of metal as well. With the pulling of the silver swirl, they had also begun to change shapes.
More importantly, the bodies of the Metal Men that accelerated toward them from the outer ring kept smashing into the metal buildings, destroying them one after another.
The bodies weren’t the only ones affected; the living Metal Men were being pulled as well. Although they tried their best to resist, some of the silver metal blood was still drawn out of their bodies and flew toward the silver swirl.
It was obviously the last resort of the Metal Men. Once they failed to stop the humans, they would detonate the entire settlement core to bury the humans together with themselves.
“Toss all metal things!”
After steadying himself, Ji Ye immediately removed all the metal objects from himself.
“Chief Yang, give me your saber!”
Ji Ye then shouted at Yang Zhi behind him.
Compared to the others, Yang Zhi wasn’t affected much because his Black Mountain Armor wasn’t made of metal. While the Black Mountain Saber was metal, because Ji Ye had fused it with the “Thunder Magnetic Stone”, the electromagnetic field made it the only metal weapon here that wasn’t drawn by the silver swirl.
An idea struck Ji Ye when he noticed this, so he called out to Yang Zhi.
“Yes!”
Hearing Ji Ye, Yang Zhi threw the Black Mountain Saber at Ji Ye without hesitation.
Pa!
Thrusting his foot against a deformed metal building, Ji Ye leaped up into the air and caught the saber. The next second, he activated his Nine Yang Divine Art to full blast, instantly burning away a third of the Flood Dragon Blood.
Hum!
After that, he activated all the extraordinary power of the Black Mountain Saber before throwing it at the silver swirl at a speed much faster than the metal objects.
Boom!
Wrapped in a layer of purplish-blue light, the Black Mountain Saber knocked into the silver power of providence of the Metal Men first. The great impact destroyed the last remaining bit of the power of providence before it charged into the spinning silver swirl!
The Black Mountain Saber was able to destroy most of the extraordinary power of the metal. When the saber was thrown forcibly into the silver swirl by Ji Ye, the silver liquid in the settlement core that was spinning frantically and giving off a blinding blue light stopped moving abruptly like a program that suddenly had a button pressed. The pulling force immediately stopped, and the blue light died down.
When Ji Ye landed, the blood-red Soul Alpha Wolf took the chance and jumped right into the silver swirl.
Pop! Crackle!
On the battlefield, when the force was gone, all the Metal Men and armored settlement soldiers bumped into each other in the area outside the metal buildings.
“Attack!”
“Die!”
Scrambling to their feet, the human soldiers felt lucky to still be alive, but they were even more infuriated now and launched a fierce attack at the Metal Men who had lost a lot of their silver blood together with the extraordinary power.
Only then did this most perilous battle for the Twin Dragon Mount so far reach an end.
[“Kill Metal Man (Commander Rank-3), obtain EXP: 506, Honor: 60, Rare Honor: 1!]
[“Kill Metal Man (Elite Rank-2), obtain EXP: 254, Honor: 23...”]
[“Kill Metal Man (Common Rank-3), obtain...”]
When the Soul Alpha Wolf that had grown a little bigger jumped out of the silver metal pool, Ji Ye received the result of the battle.
One could say that this war had brought great rewards for both himself and the Twin Dragon Mount.
Because the Stone of Civilization and Soul of Civilization dropped by the Metal Men were all Extraordinary level and above.
Even the most common of them all had reached Extraordinary Rank-0, which was dropped by the Metal Men that could suspend and move at high speed but couldn’t launch long-range attacks by controlling the blue light bomb flying daggers.
Even if only about half of the Metal Men had dropped offerings, it still meant that the humans would have twenty more Extraordinary soldiers after this battle.
Of course, with enough resources, they could compile the Extraordinary combat ability. In comparison, the various metals in the Metal Men’s settlement that had been highly purified were the more important rewards.
To the Twin Dragon Mount, who was ready to improve their technology, the metals were very significant!
“Had I not known that these items are worth much less than Rare Honor, I would like to exchange them for a bunch of gold like in the webnovels when I go offline in a couple of days.”
Mister Bug looked at the golden octopus that was a few meters in diameter and spoke in satisfaction. Apparently, he had obtained some Rare Honor after the battle.
[Destroy the Metal Men’s settlement core, gain Honor: 50, Rare Honor: 5!”]
Of course, he wasn’t the only one who had gained Rare Honor. Ji Ye had over 30 points already. Theoretically, he should be able to synchronize some of the impressive abilities to Earth.
But he was in no hurry.
Ji Ye had all his mind on the only Extraordinary resource they had gained after destroying the Metal Men’s settlement core.
It was the silver metal liquid in the pool, whose feature he could sense now.
[Silver Liquid (female)]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]
[Description: A rare liquid metal that could create souls, which was why the Metal Men existed. But because of that, the Metal Men had always been few in their numbers.]
Apparently, it should be an object containing transcendent power that belonged to the Metal Men. But unlike the other race, the Metal Men’s transcendent object was also the source of their lives.
“Based on the description, maybe we can try to build Metal Men ourselves?”
Ji Ye considered that possibility.
It was Perfect and Rare, and it was higher in quality than any of the alien resources, but that wasn’t the real significance. The real significance was that it could give birth to souls!
Just now, the frantic attempt of destroying members of both sides was only stopped after the Soul Alpha Wolf charged into the liquid and devoured all the souls, including the Metal Men Commander.
Theoretically, if this silver liquid could reproduce souls, it should be able to make new Metal Men.
It was very difficult to subdue an intelligent race, but a unique way around it would be to create an alien race that would naturally submit to the humans.
Ji Ye just happened to have the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method, the secret technique obtained from the Soul race that was also of Perfect (Rare) quality.
Because it was an incomplete version, it couldn’t give “spiritual senses” to non-living things. But the Metal Men’s Silver Liquid itself could give birth to souls, so obviously, the things created wouldn’t be considered non-living things, which made them fit the criteria of the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method.
So, all that was missing was the “blood” and “soul”.
According to the Bloodsoul Essence-breeding Method, a living creature’s blood and soul contained fragments of information and memories, which was also the foundation of nurturing the “mind”. The Soul race had a cleaning method that could filter such information and memory fragments, leaving behind the useful parts only so that the “spirit” creatures would be highly loyal toward them.
“Soul and blood... I have the soul power of the Alpha Wolf and the Flood Dragon Blood. That should suffice, shouldn’t it?”
Ji Ye thought.
“By the way, there’s also the seed of the Thousand-year Tree Demon that we brought back from the battlefield of providence. It needs to nurture a new soul as well.”
The silver metal liquid could create souls. Theoretically, all Ji Ye needed was to “brainwash” it with his own soul power and blood.
However, the Tree Demon had no soul at all, and it would require a large amount of soul power and blood, which he couldn’t give even if he drained himself.
Right now, the Twin Dragon Mount didn’t have many monsters left, and they were running low on the supply of blood and soul power.
“Well, that can be solved!”
An idea occurred to Ji Ye.
It was true. They couldn’t find enough on the land. But they could still turn to the ocean!
