The monsters in the Clock Tower didn't have a friendly attitude towards outsiders.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak …"
"Hum, hum, hum …"
Amidst the continuous series of ear-piercing noises from the vibrating wings, a large swarm of mechanical beetles screeched as they pounced toward Elvin like a dark cloud. Behind them were wasps, butterflies, locusts, dragonflies, birds … The largest one was as tall as a building, and the smallest one was bigger than a car.
Their bodies were obviously made of flesh and blood, gears, gears, springs, and other mechanical structures. They were shining with dazzling Transcendent light, and they didn't look broken at all. They were completely different from the crude products of evil alchemists.
"And there are so many mechanical insects?"
Although he felt that the number and variety of insects here were a little abnormal, Elvin only thought that the creator of this creation had a certain preference for insects. After all, the combination of insects' chitin shells and machinery might be simpler.
"Snap!"
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers unhurriedly.
A thick blue and white lightning chain flew out from the sparks created by the friction between his fingers. Then, like a giant snake, it shot into the army of mechanical monsters.
It had already turned into a lightning elemental sprite. Without needing any instructions, it leaped around the bodies of the monsters.
Now, Elvin could control the electric charge as easily as breathing.
He used [Flesh Riot] at the beginning of the battle against the flesh and blood modified monsters, and [Electromagnetic Pulse] at the beginning of the battle against the machinery modified monsters. Except for a few special cases, it was always effective.
"Splash, splash …"
In an instant, a group of flying units that were Transcendent at most Rank-2 fell from the sky like dumplings.
"Crack, crack …"
The shadow under Elvin's feet quickly spread out and turned into a huge shadow swamp.
"Ton, ton, ton …"
It kept wriggling and swallowing all the falling flying units.
There was at least one treasure in each independent space of the [Clock Tower]. Under the combined effect of the [Clock Tower] and the treasure's characteristics, it was like the "Frog God's Golden Crown". After years of radiation, a small space was gradually transformed into a mysterious realm with specific rules.
In the area where Elvin had arrived, plants that could automatically extract metal elements from underground veins were the foundation of the food chain. It had been transformed into an organic mechanical ecosystem that could reproduce on its own.
Compared to the research of the Mechanical Immortality School of Thought, the gap was completely incalculable.
Rumble …
Following closely behind the flying unit, thunderous hoofbeats shook the earth.
There were raging bulls and galloping horses that were covered in steel armor with steam coming out of their nostrils. There were also monkeys with steel helmets whose limbs and spinal cords were mechanical structures. There were also giant crocodiles that looked like tin cans. The entire literal steel forest seemed to have come alive.
Then.
The shadow swamp on the ground suddenly expanded and spread to the feet of the army on the ground.
"Ton, ton, ton …"
He didn't reject any of them and locked them all up in the [Shadow Cage] that the Stage 3 Shadow Dragon had upgraded from the [Shadow Vault]. In the future, they would contribute to the research of the Activation School of Thought.
According to the records of the Clock Tower, the first to enter the outer space should be the weakest.
Just like this, it was extremely easy for Elvin. There was almost no challenge at all. However, if an official Transcended with ordinary strength came here, it was still very likely that it would still be difficult to move an inch.
Da … da …
After solving all the obstacles here, Elvin, who didn't even mess up his hair, walked with his hands behind his back. Following the guidance of spirituality, he came to the front of a huge unknown tree and found the root that maintained this strange world.
"This is …?"
The black and red leather of an unknown animal was covered with small words as if it had been gilded. Although it was small, it had a faint dazzling texture.
This familiar appearance made Elvin's body tremble. After that, surprise immediately overflowed from his face.
"This is actually the fourth scroll of the secret scroll of inheritance!"
He didn't expect that in order to find the [Secret Treasure of the Sea – Ancient Scroll], there would be such an unexpected surprise.
Obviously, this secret scroll of inheritance had been lost for at least a thousand years. It didn't fall into the hands of a powerful Transcended. Instead, it was kept in the treasury of the [Clock Tower].
Obviously, this was also the reason why Milan didn't find the fourth scroll when she used the divination ritual to help Elvin find it.
Ever since Elvin obtained the inheritance and rekindled the flame, he had found the fourth volume of the [Flesh Ritual] after the second volume. Now, he was only missing the fifth volume, [Creator's Blood], and he would be able to gather the entire inheritance scroll that had been lost for god knows how long.
For the Activation School of Thought to open up all the barriers from Stage 1 Apprentice to Stage 4 Crown Wizard!
Moreover.
In the original version of the secret scroll, there was a lot of knowledge that could only be seen by members of the same school. This included the previous annotations, additions, research records, extended applications, and so on. It was far from what the "Great Library of Turin" could compare with.
Among them, the content of the two series of witchcraft spells, [Whole Body Activation Spell] and [Animate Dead Objects], had been enriched by a lot. There were many more methods to create powerful witchcraft tools, such as [Flesh Collapse Staff], [Medusa's Eye] … There were even records of the construction of [Gigantic Rock Golem — Mountain Giant].
The harvest was not only that.
There was another magic book left behind by a great wizard of the "School of Life" from an unknown era. It was [The Union of Races and Life and Death – Life Artist's Pink Book].
Obviously, it was the originator of this kind of organic mechanical creature.
The corner of Elvin's eyes twitched. It was as if he had already seen a wretched uncle doing strange things to a group of small animals.
"Is it really good to give a magic book such a coquettish name? Also, how is this thing related to me in any way?? The [Clock Tower] should have collected more than one treasure from the most ancient school, right??? "
However, his body was very honest. After flipping through it for a while, he had already kept it in the collection room of the [Sorcerer's Garden].
It was because the various strange ideas in it were really eye-opening.
Mushrooms that could be squeezed out of milk, cats that grew on tree stumps, potatoes that tasted like pork … His ideas were unrestrained and without ethics or morals. No matter what era he was in, he would be a proper evil scientist.
Elvin even had to wonder if the birth of the pegasus was due to this guy.
The most precious point of his research was also the biggest difference between his research and the "School of Mechanical Immortality".
The organic mechanical creatures he created did not need to be modified. Instead, they were natural extraordinary creatures that could reproduce. It revealed that there were other carriers of "genetic codes" other than DNA that carried genetic information.
The original source might be the [Witchcraft – Flesh Curse] in the fourth volume.
This witchcraft was developed to the extreme. It could even make a dead object grow flesh and blood and turn it into anything the wizard wanted it to become. It could turn a wooden table into a horse, a fishing boat into a whale, and so on. It was a power that could be called a miracle.
This was also the outstanding contribution of the "Great Banyan Tree", one of the two people who contributed the most to the "Tree of Life". The owner of this book might be a believer of the "Great Banyan Tree".
After obtaining his wisdom, Elvin could take one step closer to the "Tree of Life" that was all-encompassing and maintained the continuation of life.
Because in his theory, the "Tree of Life" was a commonality that connected all life on this planet (including elemental life). It was the primitive gene! It was the genetic code that was rooted in the "bloodline"! It was the first one!
The "Tree of Life" came from all life and transcended them. It was one of the fundamental attributes that determined why something was something. Then, it was refined into a commonality by the "School of Animation".
Finally.
Spanning the organic and inorganic world, its essence was studied. Then, did this world with collective consciousness have its own [Life Code]? Did the [Golden Chain] have anything to do with this existence that was far beyond the level of a true god?
This was the direction that Elvin was going to study in the future.
After the victory of the first battle and sorting out the spoils of war, Elvin clapped his hands and looked up. He found that the surroundings had quietly changed.
Caw caw caw …
In the middle of the pitch-black forest where crows cawed, there was a winding path. The visibility was less than a hundred meters, and the forest was filled with gray fog that had no end in sight.
There was also a wooden sign on the side of the overgrown path, with the words "Banshee's Forest" written in spiritual text.
He did not dare to directly release his "Mental Energy Field". Instead, he once again activated the [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship — Short Frequency Pulse]. Soon, he "saw" the strange scenes hidden in the darkness.
The scarecrows that were lifted up high by bamboo poles fluttered in the wind. The twisted facial features sewn with needle and thread made one's hair stand on end. Elvin only opened and closed his eyes, and they had already closed a large distance from afar.
Horrible trees with hollow faces and twisted branches, as if they were suffering from some kind of disease, stood on their tiptoes and silently moved their feet in the mist.
Then.
There were sparks of fire in the gray fog that were approaching Elvin along the path. It was a group of "female figures" with plump bodies and delicate white skin wearing simple black robes.
But after slowly walking closer, Elvin saw that they did not have heads on their necks, only a burning wick, and their bodies were all made of snow-white candles.
Wherever they passed, as long as the hazy light shone on it, it began to turn into wax.
Elvin knew very well that the rule here was that only after clearing the level could he continue to move forward. If he was unfortunate enough to fall on the road, he would have to leave everything he had here.
Elvin did not care about the treasure that created the "Banshee's Forest". The ultimate goal of his trip was only the [Secret Treasure of the Sea — Ancient Scroll]. The other gains could only be regarded as unexpected surprises.
So in the face of these extremely strange things that were constantly approaching, Elvin did not even want to touch them. He scratched his head with a headache.
"I think you guys are f * cking making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!"
Then.
One after another, rockets weighing up to 42.5 kilograms with stabilizing fins jumped out from the top of his head in a light green cloud. Two, four … Finally, a total of 40 rockets floated above his head and slowly adjusted their shooting angles.
The next moment, the orange-red flames that soared into the sky lit up the entire dark forest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
[Black Isojin's Iron Fist of Justice]
Elvin's response to this group of "hospitable" monsters was only one word, and that was — explode!
