Chapter 1545: Chapter 665 Mechanic’s Note_3

In short, the current Kirin Arm can fire two shots in quick succession after being fully charged.

As for the Moon Stones in the pool, there are a total of six pieces. Mu You took three, leaving the remaining three as ’seeds’ to keep incubating new Moon Stones in the pool.

Having done this, Mu You continued on his journey.

[...A jackal beast that has been lurking by the roadside lunges at you, its claws gleaming coldly as they tear into you.]

[With the protection of the Silver Angel wings, you are unharmed. The Black Angel spins the jackal beast in an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming it to the ground. The right-hand Green Bee Sting pierces its throat, killing it in one blow...]

With the help of the Black Angel, his Combat Power skyrocketed. Now, facing that Moon Lion again, he could even consider a solo attempt without using the Wind Burial Cannon.

Under the dual protection of the Black Angel and the Fool’s Ancestors’ strategies, Mu You smoothly made his way, taking less than a day to successfully exit the second layer.

[...Upon entering the third layer of Jie Lin, your Divine Arts and items are further suppressed, with all divine system abilities suppressed by more than 90%.]

[The Black Angel’s Combat Power is also affected to a certain degree, with more components failing. Please replace components suitable for the environment promptly.]

On the third layer, the suppression indeed reached 90%. At this rate, by the time he reaches the fourth layer, he will completely lose his Combat Power, and the rest of the journey will rely solely on his battle suit and Kirin Arm.

However, the battle suit was also being further suppressed, with various parts beginning to fail. Going deeper, it was only a matter of time before the Black Angel was completely immobilized. No wonder the Mechanic said it would require a lot of time and local materials to rebuild the battle suit.

Without doing this, it would be impossible to reach the end.

Putting this aside, upon reaching the third layer, Mu You did not rush forward, but instead operated the character to extensively search the edge of the third layer, looking for the Soul Lamp.

As a result, the Soul Lamp was not found, but the Fool’s Ancestors’ message was discovered first.

[Under a piece of Forbidden Wood, you discover a familiar Black Crystal Stone.]

[Brushing away soil and plants from the crystal, some Star Spirit Language text is inscribed on its surface.]

["I am Horlowe Cammings, surveyor of Team 128, leaving this message here."]

["During our crossing of the second layer, we repeatedly encountered two types of natural disasters in this forest. The team suffered casualties again, and now only two team members are left at my side, one of them critically injured and on the brink of death..."]

["Even more regrettably, we lost our carried materials and supplies in the ’Blade Wind’, and now we can no longer make new Soul Lamps..."]

["We are already out of bullets and provisions, and we all know clearly in our hearts that we are likely to find eternal rest here..."]

["To those who come after... if there are any, remember to be cautious of the natural disasters in this forest... be sure to hide in a safe place before the ’Blade Wind’ begins..."]

Mu You felt a chill in his heart upon reading this. The fourteen-member expedition team had dwindled to three after completing the first two layers, with one critically injured and supplies exhausted.

Through the words, Mu You could feel the despair of these three. According to this casualty rate, their hopes of survival were slim, and it was highly likely that they had already been wiped out in the third layer.

"Natural disasters?"

Mu You frowned, wondering if there really were weather disasters in such a seemingly simple forest environment?

According to the text, the reasons for their severe losses were two unexpected natural disasters.

There were a few more lines below, all detailing their encounters.

The two types of natural disasters they faced were called ’Blade Wind’ and ’Time Rain’. As the name suggests, the former was a gale that swept through, tearing countless crystal minerals into countless sharp blades. Any creatures directly exposed to this fierce wind were subjected to a relentless punishment akin to a slow death by a thousand cuts. No creature, no matter how resilient, could endure such devastation.

The latter was even more terrifying, following closely after the Blade Wind—a ’Time Rain’. It was said that creatures exposed to the rain would have their remaining time rapidly taken away. Two of the Fool’s Ancestors lost their lives this way, their life spans sharply cut short after being drenched due to delayed evasion.
