Many at the top in Wa Kingdom considered this machine from the research lab as the divine object of their kingdom!

Indeed, this machine had helped Wa Kingdom on multiple occasions, so much so that it had altered the entire history of the kingdom in the two hundred-plus years recorded since its discovery!

Its uses are significant.

However, the five upper echelons in this research lab knew that aside from the massive benefits it could bring to Wa Kingdom, it was also a dangerously terrifying object.

Far from being a divine object, it was merely a monstrous terror!

“Twenty years ago, when we installed that conduit leading to the drop in internal air pressure!

That’s when those two penal items appeared!”

“But now, we didn’t damage the conduit, so why is the air pressure in this conduit still dropping?

Let’s hope the penal items don’t show up!”

The five of them nervously watched the data on the screen.

They had no idea that the cause for the drop in air pressure wasn’t their fault, but occurring in a place not far from them!

This place connected to the summit of Mount Fuji and led to a gigantic lava cave.

A metal conduit, stretching out from the divine object, appeared here.

And right now, this metal conduit was damaged by some violent force!

The extent of its destruction, surprisingly, seemed even worse than the one found in the Long House research lab!

If the researchers saw what was happening, they’d definitely be shocked!

After all, they knew just how solid the so-called divine object’s conduit was.

Even for those humans in the research lab, damaging its surface was an incredibly difficult task!

Destroying it required a great deal of effort!

Yet, the conduit here was still destroyed!

The culprit behind damaging the conduit was none other than the monster leading to heated debates across Wa Kingdom a few days ago – the Man-Killing Giant Mosquito!

The powerful monster used its forelegs and punctured the metal conduit over and over, causing violent damage!

Jia Yan, of course, had no idea that the damage he caused was detected by Wa Kingdom’s research lab!

He only stood there, compound eyes undulating, as he removed the basket from the machinery.

He then looked at the deep blue solid object quietly lying in the basket.

This object was extremely attractive to Jia Yan!

Through Jia Yan’s long mutation, his desires for regular items have significantly diminished!

Jia Yan reasoned that, even if he was presented with the same purple-red liquid medicine from the beginning, he probably wouldn’t even bother giving it a glance!

It’s not that Jia Yan had an inflated view of his own abilities.

It was simply that the purple-red liquid medicine had likely lost its efficacy on him.

But now, the semi-solid azure object still had a strong attraction for him.

This was clearly not an ordinary object!

Jia Yan, looking at the object before him, pondered whether or not he should devour it!

He owed everything to the mysterious machinery beneath Huaxia Country which might have been linked with all of his mutations!

That meant, the extraordinary air and ecosystem of the underground world might have been a creation of the mysterious machinery!

The plant was designed to extract air from beneath the earth rich in certain substances, which were then processed into black liquid.

The black liquid was then turned into purple-red liquid medicine!

All of these were related.

Jia Yan had undergone multiple mutations, beginning with the purple-red liquid medicine, followed by the black liquid, and then the mysterious liquid in the brains of creatures from the underground world!

Even in his last mutation, he combined a deep blue crystal.

Looking back on everything, his connection to the mysterious machinery in the underground world was evident!

And now, in the lands of Wa, Jia Yan discovered another object connected to the underground world!

This object seemed to be related to his mutations!

Semi-solid azure liquid!

Should he try using it this time?

Jia Yan pondered this.

His original intent was to find deep blue crystals from the divine object in Wa Kingdom.

However, he hadn’t found the deep blue crystals yet, but a semi-solid azure substance appeared instead.

The degree of danger this substance posed was unknown.

Moreover, he relied on his biological ‘desire’ to judge whether this item was useful for him!

Jia Yan felt this was unreliable.

If his biological instinct was always this accurate, then his instinct was far too extraordinary!

Such dependence on instinct could endanger his life one day!

But if he didn’t use it, he might waste another mutation opportunity!

Jia Yan thought for a long time.

Not until a strange noise echoed in his ‘antennae ears’, catching his attention!

He realized!

“What’s that sound!?”

Swoosh swoosh…

Jia Yan looked around in surprise before finally realizing that the sound was coming from the metal conduit!

“What is it!”

Jia Yan was getting worried, wondering whether more machinery was coming!

But the sound didn’t seem like it.

Jia Yan moved closer, directed his compound eye towards the open hole damaged by himself in the metal conduit, and looked in.

Just then!!

Swoosh!!

Just as Jia Yan began to relax a little, he detected a nearly invisible red beam of light shooting up from beneath the tunnel!

The beam moved so fast, he had no chance to dodge it!

Whoosh!

There was a crisp sound!

Jia Yan’s head was thrown backward!

He had actually been hit squarely in the forehead by the red beam of light!

The immense power of the beam hurled his body backward!

The tremendous force of the attack made Jia Yan’s body violently fall backward!

Boom, boom!!!

His body was flung into the air, hitting the top of the lava cave and making the entire cave shake and reverberate!

Boom, boom!!

Crack, crack!!

Countless fragments of rock rained down.

The turbulence of the cave was several times more intense than when the high-pressure tunnel exploded!

This showed just how terrifying the attack on Jia Yan was!

Under this attack, a hit from Jia Yan caused a small-scale collapse of the cave ceiling.

Large volcanic rocks fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Jia Yan’s body fell among the large stones and hit the ground.

It was unknown whether he was alive or dead!

A moment later, a body shining with red light slowly rose from the tunnel.

This was a construct with a primarily metallic structure.

However, inside the metal surface, there seemed to be a living creature.

Some muscles were interlinked with the metallic skeleton.

There was even a fiery red heart, exposed on the outside, that continuously throbbed!

Jia Yan was already at a terrifying monster level, but this monster looked more fierce, as if it was a demon from hell!

At this time, this monster arrived at the location via the inside of a metal pipe.

It pushed the transport machinery that had originally been at the bottom of the earth aside, and then continuously struggled within the tunnel.

It managed to squeeze its body out of the twenty-centimeter-wide tunnel entrance with ease!

That’s right!

Although it looked hideous in shape, it was actually not a large monster!

It was only seventy to eighty centimeters long, smaller than Jia Yan, but no one dared to doubt this monster’s combat power!

At this time, on its forehead that emitted a faint red light, there was a tube-like structure that resembled a gun muzzle.

This structure was entirely made of metal, and this kind of metal was extremely similar to the metal used in the mysterious machinery of the Underground World!

The structure shone with dazzling colors, giving off an indescribable futuristic beauty.

But the most noteworthy thing was not the tube itself, but the red light that flickered like a flame inside it!

The red light constantly pulsed, seeming more like a living creature than a mere light!

The earlier red beam that attacked Jia Yan was fired from this tube!

If the top scholars of the Wa Kingdom knew about this odd metallic construct, they would be absolutely horrified!

Because this metallic machine was the source of their so-called divine punishment!

Back then, the researchers of the Wa Kingdom wanted to cut open the Divine Object’s tube to investigate its insides.

But after expending countless methods, they barely managed to cut open a small part of the pipe!

Two of these metal monsters then came out of the pipe!

Afterward, a day akin to the end of the world befell the research facility.

The massacre there lasted for at least three hours!

Even the defense forces nearby, dispatched by the Wa Kingdom, were unable to stop the metal monsters’ slaughter!

Three hours later, the monsters’ red lights finally dimmed, seemingly due to insufficient energy.

Afterward, the Wa Kingdom managed to make significant progress in scientific industry due to studying this mysterious metal monster.

This resulted in the Stars and Stripes Country achieving many related research achievements, thereby becoming an industrial powerhouse.

As for the massacre and the people who died, the Wa Kingdom hid the causes of their deaths along with the entire incident!

Even ordinary people didn’t know that their nation’s prosperity was actually related to the machinery beneath the surface!

And now, this bizarre metal machine appeared, climbing up from beneath the lava cave!

The red light at the top of its head kept flickering, seemingly checking whether there were other life forms present besides the black monster it had just killed!

As for the black monster?

It seemed to have determined that the creature struck by its red beam earlier was definitely dead.

Yes, even if another human witnessed what happened earlier, they would also definitely conclude that the black, mosquito-like monster was dead for sure!

But what about the reality?

Within the rolling smoke and dust, a black appendage seemed to be twitching slightly.

This attack was absolutely terrifying!

Even if it wasn’t as powerful as a nuclear missile, it definitely wasn’t as simple as an ordinary bomb.

Moreover, the concentrated attack from this tiny red beam was targeted at an area as small as half a centimeter!

How terrifying was the attack power of such violent energy concentrated on such a tiny spot?…
