Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Divine Artifact Unleashed, One Against a Hundred! (Seeking Initial Subscription! Second Update!)

"This is... a mechanical exoskeleton!"

At this moment, with the white glimmer fading away, a set of gleaming silver-white, high-tech-looking machinery appeared before Lin Yue.

The main structure resembled a combination of a frame and a backpack, with numerous connecting joints, active joints, and elbow components on the arms and legs, as well as some seemingly sturdy straps.

The backpack was a single panel, shaped like an inverted T, with precision electric push rods connecting the arm and leg components at the waist.

Although it was called a "simple exoskeleton," it looked better than he imagined.

Lin Yue was quite excited. He picked up the exoskeleton, took a quick glance at it, first stepped onto the pedal, put on the backpack, then strapped the bands on his legs, arms, and chest, in sequence, and put on the gloves.

"Is this considered fully armed?" Lin Yue flipped the switch and took a step forward, feeling a slight obstruction, but nothing serious.

After walking a few more steps, he gradually adapted, even having a feeling akin to death stranding.

Looking over at the iron spear placed against the wall, he reached out and picked it up.

"Is the iron spear really this light?" Although he always used an iron spear in battle, with the upgrade to an exceptional quality spearhead, it became heavier.

Because of this, he couldn’t perform sweeping or large actions.

But upon donning the exoskeleton and picking up the iron spear, he found it felt lightweight as if it were just a toothpick!

"Wow, is my strength now several times stronger than before?" Lin Yue stepped out of the shelter, getting accustomed to the feel of the iron spear.

Thrust, jab, stab, twist, sweep!

It felt like wielding a feather-light plastic rod, even the continuous thrusts were easily achievable for Lin Yue!

He lifted some stone and iron blocks without any effort as well.

It seemed his speed, agility, and strength had all greatly improved from his original physical form!

Indeed, this simple exoskeleton was a divine artifact!

Moreover.

Lin Yue had just returned from the Secret Realm, still wearing his bone armor!

Now, with substantial defense and this additional strength from the exoskeleton...

One might say, apart from not being able to casually pose like Jonathan, it was almost perfect!

Should I test out a real combat round with the mutant creatures? Lin Yue swung his arms, feeling like he could accomplish anything.

There’s a saying that goes, all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

With his equipment now, he would surely be able to thrash mutant sheep or the like, right?

However, just as Lin Yue was about to set out to find Bai and the others.

"Pooh! Pooh pooh pooh!"

Bai’s voice suddenly rang outside the wall, signaling the arrival of enemies!

"Wow, are they crashing the door?"

Lin Yue quickly grabbed a ladder and climbed onto the roof, picking up the steel repeating crossbow, searching for where Bai and the others were.

However, he hadn’t found Bai, yet he saw a vast wave of grey-white masses surging in this direction!

Mutant sheep horde?

Lin Yue thought he might be seeing things, but no, there were at least a hundred mutant sheep charging crazily from afar!

What on earth happened?

"Pooh pooh, pooh pooh!"

At this time, Bai, leading the bloodied and muddy Little Ice Lizards, dashed into the gate, apparently in a sorry state.

Lin Yue descended from the rooftop and sprinted toward the gate but was a step slow; a mutant sheep had already burst through the main door, following Bai and the others into the courtyard.

It gaped its massive blood-red mouth and with gleaming fangs lunged at Lin Yue!

There was no time to switch to the steel repeating crossbow, but clad in bone armor and wearing the exoskeleton, Lin Yue was no longer the weak flesh body he once was!

Previously forced to attack those mutant sheep from afar, now he could directly confront this creature with his exoskeleton and exceptional iron spear!

The sharp iron spear in his hand swung and jabbed like a silver dragon, splattering blood instantly against the stone door!

[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest]

One down, killed!

Having taken down such a large mutant creature, he didn’t even break a sweat, feeling no fatigue at all. Such was the wonder of the exoskeleton.

But he had no time to grab the treasure chest as two more mutant sheep heads appeared at the doorway, with no time to close the door.

Lin Yue reacted swiftly, jabbing the iron spear into one of their eye sockets, popping it out, and slitting another’s throat with simplicity!

Lin Yue didn’t have time to clean up as more mutant sheep heads came through the door. This time he stopped being reckless, continuously making simple traps and placing them in his path, retreating at the same time.

Consuming merely 3 wood and 3 iron blocks, such contraptions proved instrumental in both Shelter defense and in repelling the current mutant incursions.

With continuous retreating, those mutant sheep charged straight into his vicinity, only to fall into the traps and almost immediately lose combat capability.

Not letting down his guard, Lin Yue immediately laid more traps on all visible grounds, then climbed back to the rooftop before more mutant sheep arrived.

Anguished cries rang incessantly below as more mutant sheep rushed into the perimeter, many falling into traps as well.

The remaining mutant sheep, though numerous, no longer dared to charge in.

Lin Yue set up the steel repeating crossbow, his crossbow arrows continuously raining down on the hesitant mutant sheep at the gate. Their sheer numbers required no precise aiming as he unleashed arrow after arrow.

So much so, he found the electric reloading speed of the steel repeating crossbow, over one second per round, too slow, opting instead to manually reload; with the assistance of the exoskeleton, this was effortless.

[You have obtained a Copper Treasure Chest]...

The system notifications of acquiring treasure chests kept ringing, yet Lin Yue stayed laser-focused.

He concentrated on loading arrows and shooting at any mutant sheep trying to make their way through, while Bai had somehow leapt onto the rooftop, watching as Lin Yue went berserk.

The mutant sheep outside kept retreating, utterly unable to breach the threshold due to Lin Yue’s arrows and the traps inside.

And at this moment, Lin Yue felt not an ounce of fatigue, like playing a crossbow made of toothpicks, effortlessly piercing the body of a mutant sheep with a mere flick of the finger.

With the roars diminishing, all that remained of the hundred or so mutant sheep was a bit over half fleeing away.

Lin Yue glanced at the golden-bronze Copper Treasure Chests strewn across the ground, then at the exoskeleton he wore, and shook his head.

"Relying purely on this thing isn’t good, might end up with muscle atrophy from the utter lack of effort."
