<h4>Chapter 23 – Strange Development</h4>


    Trantor: Xaiomoge


    At nightfall, the ck City was under curfew.


    There were squads of level-4 ded robots patrolling in the streets.


    No light was allowed to be ignited in the entire city, so darkness overtook thend, looking like a city of deathly stillness. Only the red electronic eyes of the ded robots could be seen shuttling through the darkness, looking extremely terrifying.


    The earth shook slightly as the sound of marching rang.


    200 level-6 ded robots, 50 level-7 shielded robots, 100 level-6 gunner robots, and 30 level-7 artillery robots formed arge squad and trod the streets of the ck City.


    A silver vehicle slowly traveled amid therge squad.


    An owl soundlessly flew out from a cottage, and it’s eyes shed with a glint unique to intelligent life forms.


    The owl had just flown out of the cottage, when a red light shed in a battery, a pair of electronic eyes locked on the owl, and a 12.5 millimeter heavy machine gun extended from within the battery.


    Apanied by the sound of fabric being torn, red lights flickered, the owl in midair was torn to pieces, and numerous pieces of flesh scattered and fell to the ground.


    A squad with 100 ded robots rushed over from afar and quickly arrived before the cottage.


    The leading ded robot shed at the door of the cottage and sliced the door into pieces, and then led the crowd to charge inside.


    A small candle was lit behind the door, and dim light illuminated the interior of the room, making the things inside faintly discernible.


    Within the room stood a handsome man and a beautiful woman. When they saw the ded robots break in, their faces paled.


    The young man asked timidly: “What are you doing, Sirs? Why did you break into our home?”


    The ded robots raised their alloy battle des, then they blurred into motion and pounced at the young man and woman.


    “Grease!!” The seemingly ordinary woman clenched her teeth, pointed at the leading ded robot, and cast a level-0 spell.


    The ded robot slipped and tumbled to the floor.


    Unaffected, the ded robots in the rear stepped over the ded robot that had fallen on the floor and continued with their attack.


    The young man looked at the expressionless ded robots and couldn’t help but shout: “We surrender! We are spies as well as emissaries dispatched by the White Elephant Ivory. Please stop!! I wish to see Sir Steel Lord Yang Ye!”


    In a sh, six alloy battle des stopped just 1 centimeter from the young man.


    10 alloy battle des stopped at the neck of the beautiful woman, scaring her stiff. During the fight earlier that day, the both of them witnessed the ruthlessness of the ded robots. No matter how the thugs who had seized the chance to pige pleaded, the ded robots ruthlessly killed them one by one. They didn’t resemble humans at all.


    A ded robot spoke with a mechanical and synthesized voice, emotionless: <Come with me! Do anything suspicious and you’re dead.>


    The two spies of the White Elephant Ivory rxed a bit. Under the escort of the squad of ded robots, they obediently headed towards the prison.


    Peng! Peng! Peng! Following a string of gunshots, a mouse hiding in a corner was pulverized together with the nearby house.


    After the mouse hiding in the dark corner was disposed of, the electronic eyes of a 5-meter-tall level-6 gunner robot equipped with four six-barrel Vulcan cannons and two 37 millimeter anti-aircraft cannons shed with red light, and it lowered its six-barrel Vulcan cannons.


    The means of Warlocks were varied and strange. Some Warlocks could easily control a variety of animals to act as their eyes and ears to carry out investigations.


    Yang Feng knew too little about those means. The only thing he could do was to avoid everyone, to wipe out any animal or human that approached his true body.


    Gunshots rang along the way Yang Feng passed through. Squads of level-4 gunner robots and level-4 ded robots patrolled and wiped out mice, cockroaches, and other animals active in the area.


    The vehicle stopped in front of the Warlock tower. 8-meter-tall shielded robots with shields glimmered with light, and a huge energy shield shrouded the entire area.


    Yang Feng’s true body alighted the silver vehicle and strode into the Warlock tower.


    Shortly after, an elite squad formed from level-6 battle robots guarded the Warlock tower.


    Apanied by Robot Bonney, Yang Feng arrived at the altar at the bottom of the Warlock tower.


    He gave the egg atop the altar a profound look and strode over. He took out a syringe, extracted his blood, and poured it on the egg.


    The egg shed with silk-like magical patterns and directly absorbed his blood, and then a timid spirit fluctuation came from the egg and very carefully made contact with Yang Feng.


    He made himselffortable on the floor next to the huge egg. He gently stroked the egg while Robot Bonney taught him the secret method that allowed him to empty his mind, and then transmit his spirit fluctuations.


    After his spirit fluctuations and the spirit fluctuations of the being inside the egg intertwined, a joyous and wonderful feeling awakened inside the dark and lonely egg and firmly intertwined with his spirit. Yang Feng, who hadn’t practiced cultivation until now, was overwhelmed, and he fainted.


    “Shit! What the fuck? I still haven’t finished the arrangements!!” This thought welled up inside his mind before he lost consciousness.


    The eyes of the deathly still Robot Bonney shed with doubt characteristic of humans, and he spoke in a low voice: <What’s going on? ording to the analysis of Bonney’s memories, this shouldn’t have happened! It seems that this egg from a taboo stone is unusual.>


    3796’s superputing chip suddenly took control over Robot Bonney.


    3796 approached Yang Feng. Its right hand wiggled and turned into mechanical tentacles that covered his head.


    3796 analysed, saying: <Master isn’t dead! However, the ritual must go on. Otherwise, master might be an imbecile or a real waste! During this period, the protection of master is of the highest priority.>


    Mysterious fluctuations quickly spread towards Yang Feng’s troops. The munitions factories began to work around the clock and crazily produce a variety of battle weapons. Apart from the necessary defenses, battle robots guarding other ces were quickly transferred to the ck City to be on standby.
