Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Strange Machines

Mini Rabbit had been invaded by the Sword Dance Mantis, what about Wind Shadow Jade?

The one that had previously sent the signal to her, was it the Mini Rabbit that had been invaded or the one that hadn’t?

If it was the former...

Chen Qing’s question was soon answered, as the next second Mini Rabbit appeared, his hand pointed directly at Chen Qing’s hiding spot.

The Mini Rabbit, whose core had been invaded by the Sword Dance Mantis, had intentionally lured Chen Qing here!

The attacks of the Sword Dance Mantis followed one after another!

Chen Qing quickly dodged to the side! Barely avoiding the Sword Dance Mantis’s attack!

The Mini Rabbit that had been closely following Chen Qing immediately took the hit for Chen Qing, and the moment it touched that eerie green light, Mini Rabbit dissolved into a pile of parts floating in the water.

The green light enveloped those components and quickly reassembled them into an identical Mini Rabbit.

Immediately after, the Mini Rabbit that had blocked the attack for Chen Qing also aimed its weapon at Chen Qing.

Having dodged the Sword Dance Mantis’s attack, Chen Qing was now in its sight, the head of the Sword Dance Mantis turned a full one hundred eighty degrees.

What was originally mechanical at the back of the head had now turned into a face that looked like that of a corpse, both terrifying and disgusting.

"..."

Mechanical, turned eerie?

Both Wind Shadow Jade and Blood Spirit had also disappeared, Sword Dance Mantis indeed proved to be a nuisance.

Given its current state, Chen Qing dared not and could not use Mechanical Core Invasion, as doing so would only result in one outcome for her.

Death by bursting.

Even knowing Sword Dance Mantis had the ability to control mechanical units, Chen Qing had no choice but to fight it head-on.

A huge number of Mechanical Spiders were released, charging towards the Sword Dance Mantis; a series of explosions began to resound in the deep sea.

The explosions bought Chen Qing some time, and she quickly began to sense the presence of Blood Spirit.

The World Atlas’s Extraordinary Points had already been two-thirds completed, and she had also upgraded seven other D-grade skills to C-grade.

These points were most likely snatched from Blood Spirit by the Sword Dance Mantis.

Though other Wind Shadow Jade Chen Qing had released were still hunting other Treasure Fish in the deep sea, they did not have the same efficiency in hunting as Blood Spirit and Sword Dance Mantis.

The entire Deep Sea Farm’s Extraordinary Treasure Fish had been slaughtered, and the sea beast corpses were also mostly consumed by Blood Spirit.

Chen Qing quickly pinpointed the location of Blood Spirit, which was not far from here.

However, Chen Qing looked back at the Sword Dance Mantis, whose body had been blasted into a mess by Mechanical Spider Bombs. Most of the mechanical and human parts pieced onto its body were blown away.

Even its own limbs were damaged, exposing the metallic components inside its torso.

The damaged face had a creepy, nauseating expression, seemingly smiling but not smiling. At this moment, it was closely following right behind Chen Qing, relentlessly pursuing her!

The distance between the eerie individual and her was closing rapidly, with the sharp scythe coldly waving up and down.

The Sword Dance Mantis’s mouth continued to emit fragmented mechanical sounds, resembling a common language and also other languages.

[#+％@Danger—Eliminate—Eliminate—]

That maniacal appearance, if it weren’t for Chen Qing, just seeing the current state of Sword Dance Mantis would have made anyone else collapse.

Chen Qing constantly threw out Mechanical Spider Bombs behind her; the explosions at such a close distance also affected her.

The Environment Adaptation Device soon issued a warning, it had been repaired and its durability wasn’t as high as before.

Chen Qing soared and landed on the body of a sea beast, pushing off with her feet, kicking it toward the direction of the Sword Dance Mantis.

These sea beasts, considered dominators in the deep sea, naturally had incredibly strong defenses.

Yet, the dual sickles of the Sword Dance Mantis easily sliced them into chunks. With just a raise of its sickles, the chunks were effortlessly severed.

Such a level of Mechanical Creation was beyond the reach of Chen Qing’s ability and materials to make.

There were major tricks in the blueprints and the body of the Sword Dance Mantis, but Chen Qing no longer had time to worry about that. She had to find the Blood Spirit and Wind Shadow Jade quickly.

Before entering the Deep Sea Farm, Chen Qing had chosen not to bring Wind Shadow Jade with her, as it was too conspicuous.

Chen Qing should be grateful for her earlier decision, for if Wind Shadow Jade had also been invaded by the Sword Dance Mantis, it would have been disastrous.

The combination of the Sword Dance Mantis and Wind Shadow Jade was something she couldn’t handle.

However... it wasn’t that easy for Wind Shadow Jade to be invaded by the Sword Dance Mantis, was it?

Its origin was even more mysterious than that of the Sword Dance Mantis.

But it was uncertain, as Wind Shadow Jade had been easily invaded by Chen Qing, hadn’t it?

The Mini Rabbits following Chen Qing obstructed the path of the Sword Dance Mantis under her command, granting her a substantial amount of time to seek the whereabouts of Blood Spirit and Wind Shadow Jade.

Following her intuition, Chen Qing quickly headed in a specific direction.

Soon, Chen Qing found the Blood Spirit and several completely scrapped units of Wind Shadow Jade in a deep sea pit.

The huge body of the Mechanical Sea Beast sank at the bottom of the pit, almost filling it entirely.

The once smooth and lustrous body now appeared dim and lightless, showing varied degrees of severe damage.

Concealed beneath the body of Wind Shadow Jade, Chen Qing spotted the Blood Spirit at a glance.

Along with the Blood Spirit, there were also Jia and White Immortal.

"??"

"Hurry up and eat. How can you battle that ghostly thing if you don’t eat?"

Jia and White Immortal seemed unaware of Chen Qing’s arrival, standing quite far apart from each other.

While White Immortal rested with closed eyes, Jia stayed close to the Blood Spirit, consistently urging it to eat more flesh.

Upon closer inspection, the pit was filled with various sea beast corpses under the Blood Spirit, yet it displayed a lack of appetite, eating very slowly.

This was a vast difference from the Blood Spirit’s usual ravenous demeanor.

Chen Qing looked back in the direction she had come from. For some reason, the Sword Dance Mantis hadn’t followed immediately, providing Chen Qing with a chance to catch her breath.

Under the body of Wind Shadow Jade in the pit, there were still many parts intact. Although she didn’t know why, indeed the claws of the Sword Dance Mantis had not reached Wind Shadow Jade.

Chen Qing quickly issued commands to other Wind Shadows stationed outside the farm, instructing them to enter the farm for support.

Upon encountering the Sword Dance Mantis, engage directly and kill!

Next, Chen Qing made a leap and dove into the pit.

"Wow—"

The sudden appearance of Chen Qing gave Jia a huge fright, whether genuinely or pretentiously, Chen Qing couldn’t tell, but his expression seemed quite genuine.

White Immortal on the other hand, simply flicked her eyelids, recognizing Chen Qing and then indifferently closed her eyes once more.

She was aware that Chen Qing’s sudden appearance here must be connected to the Biological Ship and the Mechanical Creature outside.
