Earth Elemental, Ice Elemental, Stone Elemental, Lightning Elemental, Fire Elemental …
As long as they were cheap elemental lifeforms, the alchemy wizards did not mind summoning them from a faraway world to be used as cannon fodder.
A low-grade elemental lifeform summoning potion only cost 3 magic crystals. If they could be used to exchange for an explosive fireball trap worth 12 magic crystals, it would be worth it no matter how one looked at it.
Hence, the 13 rank 1 alchemy wizards took turns to summon all kinds of elemental lifeforms, commanding them to rush into the lava tunnels that led to the lower levels. The undulating sounds of explosions and the scorching heatwaves that assaulted one's face stirred up the entire underground world. Even the gravel and dust on the rock walls began to rustle and fall continuously.
The tunnel was filled with a choking smell of dust and smoke.
"Enemy discovered!"
Every summoned elemental lifeform had a weak soul connection with the alchemy wizard. After they were killed, the alchemy wizard could roughly understand the enemy's information through their soul connection.
When the elemental slaves of the alchemy wizards plunged into the lava passageways, one of the alchemy wizards suddenly screamed in fear.
"What killed my elemental slaves was not a trap. It was … It was a strange metal puppet that I've never seen before!"
Obviously, the information he obtained through his soul connection was very vague, so it was difficult for him to describe it.
"Where is it?" The leader of the organization, Magus Roy, could not help but ask in a low voice.
"Ahead on the right … the second lava tunnel …"
As soon as this Magus reported the enemy's location, two new elemental lifeforms rushed into the lava tunnel he had pointed out.
These were two strange wind elemental lifeforms!
They did not have humanoid bodies, and their appearance was that of a small tornado that was constantly spinning. Only in the center of the tornado were two balls of red light that served as eyes. These fellows floated in the air as if they were weightless, so they were not suitable to be used as cannon fodder for the mines.
However, their flying speed was extremely fast, so they were rather suitable as flying sentries.
Just as the two wind elemental lifeforms turned a corner, they collided with the strange metal puppet that the Magus had described. Both sides looked at each other across the narrow tunnel and attacked at the same time.
A series of wind blades cut through the air, slashing at the three-meter-tall humanoid puppet wrapped in a dazzling metal shell. Sparks flew everywhere, and scratches could be seen everywhere. That terrifying guy didn't care about the wind elementals' attacks at all. He raised his two thick metal arms, and the metal tubes that extended from the front of his arms shot out high-speed metal projectiles that were hard to be seen by the naked eye. The two wind elementals couldn't help but tremble from the impact.
Before they could hold on for more than three fingers, the two beginner Wind Elementals had their consciousness cores shattered and completely disappeared.
Many of the alchemy sorcerers frowned as they looked at the close-up of the Metal Puppet on the projected screen. They evaluated the basic level of the Metal Puppet.
Magus rank!
Of course, comparing this clumsy and sluggish metal puppet to an official Magus was overestimating it. However, considering that it had an indestructible metal shell and a goblin gun that had a shocking rate of fire, ordinary sorcerer-apprentices would be the bane of their existence if they encountered them. They wouldn't even have the chance to resist before they were brutally slaughtered.
Even quasi-sorcerers would have to be careful when dealing with these metal puppets. Otherwise, their weak defensive spells would not be able to withstand the crazy barrage of metal projectiles.
"Looks like we'll have to bring out some real weapons …"
An alchemy sorcerer grinned as he took out a large bottle of magic potion from his pocket and smashed it in front of him.
As an extra-large jelly Ooze Monster crawled out of the ground with its swollen body, the whole tunnel was filled with a rotten and pungent stench.
"Damn it, Singh. Can't you summon a normal wizard beast? Get it away from us … "Many alchemy sorcerers covered their noses, and a few female sorcerers glared at the guy who summoned the jelly Ooze Monster.
"It can't be helped. In such a narrow tunnel, other summoned creatures won't be able to take advantage of a pile of metal lumps. To deal with a metal puppet, you either have to fight it head-on or use strong acid … "Wizard Singh shrugged his shoulders and quickly commanded the jelly Ooze Monster to crawl to the other side of the tunnel.
After a quarter of an hour, the jelly Ooze Monster and the metal puppet had successfully encountered each other!
Almost without any orders, the two fellows from different camps began to attack each other crazily.
Of course, the metal puppet was still using those fast metal projectiles.
In such a narrow place, as long as it guarded one end of the lava tunnel, it would be impossible for the enemy to rush over from the other end. It would be impossible to do so without paying a heavy price!
Metal projectiles with high kinetic energy traveled for 15 meters and crazily hit the jelly Ooze Monster's swollen and sticky body.
Sludge splattered everywhere, and stinky water flowed out …
The jelly Ooze Monster's soft body had many small holes that looked like sieves. Black, stinky, sour, and stinky water flowed out from the holes. However, it did not seem to feel anything. It continued to extend its tentacles of different shapes from its soft jelly body and slowly approached the Archer Magic Machine.
As it approached, it opened up some small mouths and continuously spat out the same stinky corrosive liquid at the joints of the Archer Magic Machine. As soon as the black sticky liquid landed on the metal body of the Archer Magic Machine, it immediately let out a sizzling sound of corrosion. At the same time, thick white smoke rose.
The Archer Magic Machine's intelligence unit had already been set up by the goblin engineers to guard this place and not let any enemy pass. Therefore, even if the enemy was slowly approaching, it did not even take half a step back. The metal barrels in his arms had already turned red due to the high-speed firing, but the rhythmic 'da da da' sound of the metal bullets never stopped for a moment.
When the jelly Ooze Monster crawled through the middle of the lava channel, the wide shoulders of the Archer Magic Machine opened up, revealing a dense array of Goblin Fire Arrows. In the next second, under the push of bright yellow flames, eight Goblin Fire Arrows flew out and pierced the jelly Ooze Monster's body.
Bang bang bang …
A series of energy explosions occurred in the bloated and ugly body of the jelly Ooze Monster. It was like a skin bag that was filled with too much liquid. The bloated body of the jelly Ooze Monster expanded even more, and the surface of its body emitted terrifying squeaking noises.
It seemed like its expansion had reached a certain limit!
The Alchemist Singh, who had been calmly watching the battle from the back, suddenly had a change of expression.
In the next second, another two Goblin Fire Arrows pierced the jelly Ooze Monster's body and caused another explosion.
This time, the jelly Ooze Monster that relied on its inflated body to digest the energy waves had no more energy left to expand. It actually exploded under the watchful eyes of the Alchemists.
In an instant, the lava channel that was less than 15 meters long was completely smeared with a layer of sticky and smelly black rotting liquid. There were also countless beast bones and fur scraps in it. Under the rapid corrosion of the strong acid, the entire lava channel instantly softened like the stomach wall of a terrifying monster. A horrible stench that could choke people to death filled every inch of space.
The Archer Magic Machine that was ordered to guard the end of the channel was also drenched by the strong acid. Under the thick white smoke, the spikes and edges of the Archer Magic Machine's tall metal body were corroded into a pile of mud. Two crisp sounds were heard. The Archer Magic Machine's two metal arms were corroded and fell to the ground.
A moment later, the entire Archer Magic Machine softened, and sparks flew everywhere. It was finally completely destroyed!
The Wizard-ranked Jelly Ooze Monster versus the Wizard-ranked Archer Magic Machine ended in a lose-lose situation.
Of course, this had something to do with the terrain here.
If the Archer Magic Machine could move freely and use the kiting tactic to continuously attack the enemy, they might be able to take down the Jelly Ooze Monster with only minor damage. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in war …
Seeing that the metal puppet opposite him was also destroyed, Alchemist Singh forced a smile on his face. However, the fact that a Wizard-level summon was killed still made him feel like he was bleeding in the depths of his heart.
After all, a Wizard-ranked wizard beast like this was usually worth more than 100 magic crystals on the market. Even though he was rich, he could not help but feel a little heartache after losing it here.
However, just as his expression lightened up, a new Archer Magic Machine appeared in the darkness at the end of the lava channel. It made clanking noises as it appeared in front of the Alchemist Wizards.
"Whoosh …"
In the next second, a small hole opened up in the chest of the magic machine, and a thick stream of flames sprayed out from it, burning the entire passage.
Although the strong acid was terrifyingly corrosive, it could not withstand the burning of such a fierce stream of flames.
After a moment, when the Magic Machine cut off the flames, the entire lava channel became as hard as steel again. However, the surface of the lava channel that was made of flint and lava was now full of holes, resembling the surface of the moon under a super-magnifying telescope.
That was not all. A strange device that looked like a bullet slot extended out from the back of the Archer Magic Machine, and it began to shoot metal plates the size of washbasins at various parts of the lava channel. As soon as these metal plates landed on the ground, they popped out metal spikes and fixed themselves in place.
The smooth and flat metal surface shone with a layer of faint fluorescence.
