Божественный зверь Creator
Chapter 1988: Chapter 1989: The Finish Line
"Фэн Юань, we can’t solve this thing using conventional means at all."
Although the giant mechanical creature moves slowly, even Ah Mu could easily dodge its attacks, it seemed immune to all attacks. Even Cotton’s control ultimate move was ineffective, forcing Ци Чэнь to seek help from Фэн Юань.
This thing didn’t look like something they could handle.
"Are you saying to ask Veronia and the others for help?"
Фэн Юань glanced at Veronia and said that unless necessary, he didn’t want to trouble Veronia. But if it had to be done, it seemed there was no other choice.
"Perhaps there’s another way."
Dou Yanlan said as she looked at Ци Чэнь. She felt that the academy shouldn’t have created something so troublesome. As for bypassing the giant mechanical lifeform? Though the crystal passage occasionally curved, overall, it was still a straight path, and this giant mechanical creature, although slow, had a charge ultimate move that seemed to have no distance limit.
At least when Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound were teasing the giant mechanical creature from afar, it managed to quickly get close to Xiao Ji and the others with a charge.
"Another way... could it be... to make it fall off by itself?!"
Scratching his head, Ци Чэнь suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up. Фэн Юань glanced at Ци Чэнь and said,
"Perhaps it’s possible, but there’s no need to make it charge itself off. That thing may be heavy, but... I remember Cotton has mastered a floating spell ultimate move, right?"
Pushing it off forcibly isn’t impossible, but none of their Духовные звери had the strength for that. Фэн Юань opted to reduce its weight first and then have Ah Mu throw it off.
However, Ци Чэнь thought it unnecessary. He instructed Ah Mu and the others to lure the giant mechanical creature into charging at them. Even if the thing disengages the charge near the edge, most of the area’s rules were consistent with reality, and its huge size and inertia made it unable to stop immediately.
Seizing the opportunity, Ah Mu used an ultimate move to push it from behind, and the unbalanced giant mechanical creature was pushed off.
With the giant mechanical creature disappearing beyond the crystal passage, the group continued forward, but the other passages weren’t as fortunate.
Several teams hadn’t thought of this and merely tried to use brute force to push the giant mechanical creature off the crystal passage. Some teams simply ignored it and kept running forward.
As a result, they were almost knocked off by the terrifyingly fast charge of the giant mechanical creature.
"Sigh... they still lack combat experience."
The observing teacher sighed and murmured with a helpless expression. Naturally, he could see why those people reacted that way.
After all, the oppressive feeling from the giant mechanical creature can make many people unable to think calmly. In such situations, students with more combat experience tend to be better at resisting the pressure from these special creatures.
What surprised him was Фэн Юань’s team, as the reaction and action didn’t come from Фэн Юань but from Ци Чэнь. If it were Фэн Юань, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.
Considering Фэн Юань’s strength, the giant mechanical creature was not enough to faze him. However, the calmness of Ци Чэнь and his team was surprising.
The teacher didn’t know much about the experiences of Ци Чэнь and the others. If they were replaced by students from Class 1, they might not have remained so composed. The creature’s attack immunity, massive size, and inherent lethality would leave most first-time observers too stunned to think.
Except when one’s strength can completely overwhelm it, but among this group, only Фэн Юань had that power. As for Ци Чэнь and his team, the teacher assumed they should have been intimidated.
Unfortunately, the teacher wasn’t aware of Ци Чэнь and Dou Yanlan’s experiences alongside Фэн Юань with many strange things, and enemies they couldn’t handle weren’t new to them.
So for opponents like this, Ци Чэнь and the others weren’t too surprised—when you’ve seen a lot...
"Is this thing some kind of mechanism? Hmm, requires everyone’s activation?"
Finally reaching the end, Фэн Юань looked at the massive green crystal and said. As he approached, countless light dots emerged from the crystal, and a translucent panel popped up.
’Sealing Crystal Activated 1/6’
Stepping back, the light dots disappeared, but the panel didn’t vanish; instead, it read,
’Sealing Crystal Activated 0/6’
"Whew, let’s take a break here."
Sitting down in front of the giant crystal, Фэн Юань looked at the panting Fluffy Fire Wolfhound on the ground and humorously petted its head.
Although the crystal passage wasn’t particularly long, along the way, they had encountered several rounds of attribute-immune mechanical creatures and a giant mechanical creature.
The giant mechanical creature was dealt with by Ah Mu, but for the attribute-immune mechanical creatures, all Духовные звери had to work together.
After so many consecutive battles, the Ordinary Духовный зверь Fluffy Fire Wolfhound was already exhausted. Even Xiao Ji could barely keep up, as Фэн Юань hadn’t intervened this time, and Veronia only took care of mechanical creatures they couldn’t handle.
As for those they could fight, including the giant mechanical creature, it was entirely up to Xiao Ji and the others.
This intense combat was something Xiao Ji needed time to adjust to. Previously, Фэн Юань and his team were the main force in battles, and although Xiao Ji participated, its non-main-role status allowed it to rest on the side whenever needed.
Randomly scooping up Xiao Ji and holding it in his lap to massage, Фэн Юань humorously said,
"I didn’t expect you to get tired so quickly. It seems we need to schedule a training plan for you."
Xiao Ji chirped cheerfully, showing great interest in the mentioned training plan. Dou Yanlan glanced at her phone and checked the time, saying,
"I wonder what’s waiting for us next. We’re running out of time."
More than an hour had passed since entering, making Dou Yanlan concerned about whether they could finish within the time limit.
Фэн Юань, on the other hand, wasn’t worried. He scratched the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s head, making its tail wag enthusiastically and said,
"The academy doesn’t limit repeat entries, so there’s no rush to clear it the first time. Besides, I doubt there’s a clear path to victory here."
Although the Ancient Stone Palace isn’t large, adding the Область данных means Фэн Юань doesn’t believe anyone could clear it in one go. As for the crystal passage, it’s likely the crystal marks the end.
Whether there are more challenges ahead, given the time, even if they re-entered, it’s unlikely there would be more arranged content.
After all, this isn’t a game, where countless people would spend immense time trying to figure out what’s at the end of the crystal passage. Combat is necessary along the way, and even with rests, prolonged fights affect subsequent battle capabilities.
As Фэн Юань and Ци Чэнь chatted leisurely, the number of crystal activations kept rising, and soon, all the crystals were activated.
Among the scattered light dots, five crystal passages appeared out of thin air. Seeing people on those passages, Фэн Юань muttered,
"This doesn’t look good, instead of opening a portal, it’s gathering all the passages here... Are we going to face a BOSS?"
"Seems like it~"
Gazing at the central circular crystal platform, Veronia said with an odd smile.
A massive crystal-like mechanical creature crawled out from the platform’s mirror surface, and judging by its entrance, Фэн Юань suspected the setting was it came from the Mirror World.
Turning to Veronia, Фэн Юань remarked with a peculiar smile,
"This is a bit like your World of Mirrors."
"Just similar, the legend of the Mirror World wasn’t inspired by me."
Veronia glanced at Фэн Юань, unperturbed, and reminded, saying,
"I think you all should pay attention to that ability of theirs."
"Hehe~ Worth 500 credits, it’s definitely a tough opponent~"
Seeing the prompt targeting everyone, Фэн Юань chuckled strangely, knowing that 500 credits as a reward wasn’t low. It could be exchanged for a lot of resources at the academy, and judging by everyone’s eager expressions, it was clear.
Were it not for the note saying all could earn 500 credits after defeating the BOSS, a fight would have broken out on the spot.
Ци Чэнь wasn’t too swayed; credits weren’t that tempting for him at the moment. However, because of this, Ци Чэнь calmly realized a problem:
"For so many people to each receive 500 credits, can we actually defeat this thing?"
After all, the academy wouldn’t give out rewards aimlessly. If this creature was worth 500 credits for all participants, wouldn’t its strength be somewhat terrifying?
