Chapter 577: Chapter 322 Divine Power_2

The sound of the struggle outside was escalating. Given the momentum, the dark elves would break in soon.

In a hurry, Mu You called Lin Xue and the others for help, especially to collect coils from him.

"These robots will self-destruct when they die, try to use long-range attacks..."

"Just clean up the robots inside the temple, don’t go near the entrance, be careful not to get hurt by accident..."

Mu You reminded everyone.

Fortunately, the main forces of the goblin were fighting with the elves at the temple’s entrance. The remnants inside the temple were withdrawn soldiers and cleaning them up wasn’t dangerous.

[You killed a battle robot, experience +15, and got a robot coil *1...]

[You killed a mining robot, experience +10. You searched nearby but found nothing...]

...

As Mu You went on searching for goblins, he found not all robots dropped coils. Only high-level combat robots could consistently drop them, perhaps because the coil’s quality wasn’t good enough, and it vanished along with the goods when they self-destructed.

[You killed a battle robot...]

[You found the imprisoned old goblin, Eugene. He was tightly tied up inside a cage.]

[You used the Unlocking Spell to release Eugene from his shackles.]

[Eugene, in despair, told you that he was discovered by other goblins while sabotaging the tenth demon crystal mine. He was captured as a traitor and planned to be taken back to Clockwork City to stand trial by his own kind.]

[He was marked as a criminal and would be discovered by his clansmen as soon as he approached them, thus he couldn’t return to Clockwork City for a while.]

The old goblin seemed a bit regretful about betraying his clansmen.

But this wasn’t a major problem, what’s right and wrong depended on benefits. Once the old goblin could prove the feasibility of the perpetual motion device, the goblin clan wouldn’t mind his crimes and they might even cordially invite him back.

With the old goblin, Mu You continued smashing robots.

After eliminating over ten more robots, he had collected 34 coils.

"How many coils do you all have?" Mu You asked over the voice chat.

"19..."

"I have 27..."

"23..."

The others replied one after another. Adding them up, Mu You realized they had collected over one hundred in total.

"OK, that’s enough, retreat!"

Mu You immediately told everyone to retreat, exterminating those robots was quite exhausting.

They could leave the remaining goblins to the dark elves for cleaning up.

While Lin Xue and the others escaped from the temple through the ant nest they used earlier, Mu You lingered and kept exploring deeper in the temple.

It seemed like the goblins had dug tunnels to break into the Elf Temple, so he could use these tunnels to find their lair.

[You have reached the deepest part of the temple.]

[In front of your eyes, there is a long, dark tunnel. It’s pitch black inside, and you can’t see the end.]

[A rail extends from the temple to the inside of the tunnel.]

[Cart after cart loaded with ores were sent from the temple, drove into the tunnel along the rail, and disappeared...]

This seemed to be the entrance to the temple for the goblins. It appeared that the goblins had transformed it into a special tunnel for transporting goods.

After giving it some thought, Mu You clicked on ’Mine Cart’.

[When the next mine cart came, you jumped in and discarded most of the ores inside to hide.]

[The cart you’re in entered the inky dark tunnel and started moving left to right, up and down with increasing speed. You had no idea where it was going...]

[Moving...]

Getting in the mine cart didn’t consume stamina, similar to riding a mount, but he wasn’t able to stop or control its direction, he could only follow where the mine cart led.

Mu You patiently waited.

He waited for over two hours, then a new notification finally popped up in the game.

[While the cart was shaking, you suddenly felt an openness in front of you. Far off in the distance, you saw a lighthouse-like structure and you were approaching it at a fast speed with the other carts.]

Mu You had an idea and promptly chose ’Jump Off’.

[You used Phantom Shifting and teleported off the cart, reappearing behind a mound of rocks.]

[Surveying your surroundings, you find yourself in a massive, man-made subterranean space. Rails extend from cavities in the surrounding mountains, all leading towards the central platform where the lighthouse was located.]

[Hiding in the shadows, you slowly made your way toward the lighthouse.]

[Upon reaching the vicinity of the lighthouse, you observed it and noticed that it was a goblin-constructed underground base. Thirteen rails from all directions converged here.]

[Below the lighthouse, several Alchemy Robots were bustling about. After sorting and classifying the ore carts coming from different directions, they moved them to their respective new rails. All goods were orderly transferred here and then continued to be delivered to the various goblin bases...]

You had to admire the efficiency of the goblins. They created a vast transportation network underground, and it was a fully automatic system too.

Mu You didn’t disturb them, he quietly navigated around the base to check out where the other rails were going.
