Chapter 168 Treasures Left Behind by the Golden Age

When Su Heng woke up again, he found that he was already in a huge palace.

This palace seemed to be located on the top of some kind of huge building. Through the broken floor-to-ceiling windows around it, you could see the blackened clouds appearing in front of you. The sound of waves came to my ears, and the air was filled with acid mist, steel, and the strong smell of blood.

"Well…"

Su Heng opened his mouth and tried to make a sound.

then.

The sharp and harsh sound, like steel rubbing against steel, really echoed in the dilapidated hall.

Only then did he realize that the fourth template was different from all the previous templates... It could even be said to be completely different.

This template is humanoid, but it cannot be called humanoid.

He lowered his head and extended his palm.

The arm was completely assembled from a complex steel structure. Transparent pipelines criss-crossed the black steel like blood vessels, and ice-blue liquid flowed inside.

The same is true for the other palms, and the same is true for the body you see.

However, the fourth template's torso is completely wrapped in some kind of black alloy steel. Its appearance is smooth and hard, like finely forged armor.

No need to think too much.

As expected, the other parts of the body should be completely assembled from steel, gears and special energy pipes.

But in this pure machine.

However, Su Heng could feel that his thinking had become more active than ever before, so that when he concentrated, everything around him could be fully understood by him, like a frozen picture.

The floor of the hall is made of jet black steel. There are several thick cables hanging from the raised inspection box cover in the raised areas on the wall. Thick pipelines leak out from the brass protective tubes, like severed blood vessels. At the cracks, There were also crackling electric lights, bringing flickering white light to the dim hall. At his feet, there was a completely dried corpse whose appearance was unclear.

"I…"

Su Heng tried to slowly stand up from his half-kneeling position on the ground.

Just as he was about to move, an obscure and sluggish feeling was transmitted from every joint in his body, and the light blue energy pipes all over his body flickered slightly.

Bang!

The steel rubbed and collided, bursting into scarlet sparks.

The energy and negative ions dissipated in mid-air collided with each other, forming a subtle electric current that flashed across the surface of the steel armor.

The initial movement was difficult, but soon, Su Heng discovered that the body made of steel was no different from human flesh and blood. Some of the metals in the body were forged from unknown materials. Like a nano-scale robot, it quickly flows along the energy pipeline, repairing the parts of the body that have been corroded and deteriorated due to long-term storage.

Boom!

Strong winds surged through the cracked windows of the hall, dark clouds rolled, and startling bolts of lightning fell from the twisted and cracked sky.

In that moment.

Su Heng saw the tall walls under the dome and the huge defense towers emitting black smoke. And beyond this city, the vast black ocean.

In front of him, light blue crystal glass overlapped one after another, forming a huge barrier to protect him like a test tube.

Electric arcs flashed on the walls.

With the help of weak electric light, Su Heng could completely see himself through the reflective glass...or what the fourth template looked like now.

It was a tall, dark metal figure.

The body is tall and smooth, with a high bulge on the back. The limbs are the same as those of humans, and so are the facial features. However, in the scarlet eye sockets of the fourth template, there are two sparkling spherical sensing devices.

Like the other three templates, there is also consciousness gestating in the fourth template.

During the long sleep, this consciousness that had not yet been born seemed to have been severely damaged. At this moment, it was just like a baby in the womb, greedily absorbing spirituality and nutrients.

Su Heng was silent for a moment.

Give some of your spirituality to the fourth template.

In terms of strength, regardless of the template fusion state, Su Heng is not considered powerful among humans, and it is far inferior to those templates he cultivated that are like natural disasters.

But when it comes to spirituality…

I don't know why, but in the spiritual space, Su Heng's power projection is vaster and greater than the three templates combined.

After accepting Su Heng's spirituality, the fourth template's consciousness became much more stable.

"This is not a machine, this is a real life thing."

Looking at the fourth template's body in the reflection, Su Heng said to himself.

He raised his hand and placed it gently on the glass in front of him. The power of the fourth template was beyond imagination. The hard special glass was squeezed and deformed under this force, exploding large traces of snowflakes. Finally, it exploded with a bang, and the sparkling glass fragments fell to the ground.

Su Heng stepped forward and stepped on the cold alloy floor.

Those sharp glass fragments would not cause any harm to him, but the sharp touch was still fed back to Su Heng's consciousness.

Every template is amazing.

The fourth template is obviously a machine, but its various perceptions are much more sensitive than Su Heng's as a human.

He stepped out from the light blue pedestal, crossed the hall filled with broken pipes, and came to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

The glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows has long since disappeared, and only a few remaining fragments can be seen on the edge of the steel structure. The cold sea breeze rushes through the windows on both sides of the hall, making a whirring sound.

Ga! Karma!

Under the yellow-black acid cloud, a huge black crow made a sharp and strange cry. He spread his wings and flew towards Su Heng.

Bang!

Su Heng blocked with both hands and subconsciously took a step back.

But he was still staggered by the huge impact carried by the strange bird, and almost fell to the ground.

He looked down and saw that the strange bird had long disappeared.

Just as he had guessed, he appeared on a tower hundreds of meters high. This high tower is surrounded by a circular city wall. There are three walls in total. The three outermost walls are already riddled with holes and cracks.

Only the innermost city wall remained intact, but on both sides of the city gate, the huge black spiers were completely shrouded in black smoke, and electric currents flashed wildly. The building was apparently in total disrepair.

And under the spire.

The bodies of hundreds of sea monsters were piled up into a hill, and the rich smell of blood came from that hill.

"The Kraken is attacking this building!?"

Seeing this scene, Su Heng's originally relaxed mood suddenly became tense.

Those corpses should be a creature called the Great Kraken. This kind of sea monster has a huge and powerful mouthpart like an angler fish, and the torso is different, some look like humans, and some look like octopuses.

Like most krakens, this monster has a low health level. Average intelligence, able to use simple weapons.

But what is desperate is that every time this low-level sea monster appears in groups, hundreds or even thousands, and its desire to attack is extremely strong, it can be said that it is not afraid of death.

It's okay if you encounter other templates. These miscellaneous soldiers don't pose much of a threat.

But the newly born fourth template...

It’s really hard to say!

Moreover, judging from the blood that has not dried up on those giant sea monsters, it is obvious that these guys have not been dead for long.

The two outer walls were damaged, and the defensive tower on the third wall was also completely damaged.

If the sea monster continues to appear next. Doesn't that mean that these sea monsters can drive straight into the center of the entire building?

He still doesn't know what is inside these walls, but since the fourth template was born here.

Moreover, people in the past era spent so much money to protect these buildings. If they were completely damaged, something bad would definitely happen.

"No, I have to figure out the situation quickly!"

Su Heng was a little anxious and thought to himself.

Fourth template expansion]

Fourth template]

Condition: Good]

Psychic level: 1]

Psychic power: 2.17 limit value 10]

Bond level: 1 The higher the bond level, the higher the bonus obtained in the template fusion state. The current level bonus is 30%]

Template characteristics: Void Rare quality: Psychic energy comes with void attributes, and you can get corresponding bonuses when you use psionic energy to strengthen yourself]

"Psychic power?"

Compared with the rest of the templates, the most significant change in the fourth template is that the vitality column is replaced with psionic energy.

Beyond that, the age of the fourth template…

"Nearly four hundred years old!"

Su Heng looked at it secretly, because due to the lack of information, he didn't know much about humans in the Golden Age.

But it has only been three hundred years since the first restricted area appeared.

If we go forward a hundred years, it should be the peak of mankind at that time... "In other words, during the most glorious period of the Golden Age, did some people foresee the coming catastrophe and start making preparations?"

Su Heng's mood was ups and downs.

"laugh!"

While he was deep in thought, behind Su Heng, there was a strange movement on the hexagonal altar in the center of the hall.

Large swaths of Baise steam appeared as the gears rotated, with scorching heat, blocking the sight in front of them. Then, the electronic lights on the ceiling began to flash, the red light was dazzling, and a fierce alarm sounded in my ears.

"I sensed abnormal energy fluctuations nearby!"

"I sensed abnormal energy fluctuations nearby!"

"The next round of attacks is coming, please repair the defensive buildings and protect the central control equipment!"

Amidst the piercing sound of electronically synthesized sirens, Su Heng turned around and looked behind him.

At this moment.

The large amount of white mist that emerged as the gears rotated has been swept away by the sea breeze blowing from the window. On the hexagonal altar, the glass base where it should have been has completely disappeared, replaced by a huge blue color sphere.

The sphere is two meters in diameter and is suspended in mid-air. Strings of strings flash across the smooth surface of the sphere with flickering light.

The body of the fourth template also reflected a faint blue light.

"What's this…"

Su Heng thought to himself.

At the same time, driven by curiosity, he manipulated the steel body of the template and walked towards the huge blue sphere.

A two-meter-diameter ball unfolded in front of Su Heng. When he came to the altar, the ball had almost completely blocked his vision.

The electronic sensing device embedded in the middle of the eye socket had to shrink to adjust the visual distance to fully accommodate this magnificent sphere in the field of vision.

Su Heng stretched out his hand, and the mechanical arm gently touched the surface of the sphere.

The smooth touch accurately came from his fingertips. Before he could explore further, the originally calm ball suddenly vibrated at an extremely high frequency.

When Su Heng couldn't understand the situation and planned to take a step back to observe the situation.

Buzz——

The high-frequency vibrating blue light ball suddenly stopped!

The light blue mist, as misty as stardust, rolled outwards and spread outwards, shrouding the fourth template in an instant.

at the same time.

Su Heng's system also quickly popped up pop-up windows one after another in front of him. The violent reaction was like downloading rogue software and having to install a lot of bundled plug-ins.

Detected external plug-ins can be integrated]

The system is retrieving plug-ins...]

The search is completed and can be fused]

Fusion begins]

Fusion progress: fifty percent, ninety percent, ninety-five percent...one hundred percent! 】

After the integration is completed, the new function "Void Manzo" has been launched, and players can have an in-depth experience during the game]

The Void: Contains all the technologies mastered by humans in the Golden Age, but over the long years, part of the data has passed. You can spend real points to extract and deduce blueprints of different qualities]

The gray-white fonts scrolled back and forth in front of Su Heng, and finally disappeared.

In the eyes of the fourth template, red light flashed.

It took a step forward, stretched out its mechanical arm and touched the ice blue sphere in front of it again, and densely packed subtitles rolled on the surface of the sphere.

Terminator Mecha Rare Quality], Henghong Cannon Excellent Quality], Singularity Furnace Legendary Quality], Imperial Titan Legendary Quality], Kinetic Arm Armor Common Quality]...

These subtitles appear quickly, and at the same time, disappear even faster.

at last.

On the huge blue sphere, only a series of huge red logos appeared.

The attack of the Kraken is coming soon, please be prepared! 】

Next to this line of font, there are two other slightly smaller callouts.

The time on the left is shrinking. It shows that there are only about two hours left for the next attack.

On the right, there is a map where most of the area is shrouded in fog, with only a small part clearly visible.

And in the only clear place, there is a small red dot flashing continuously.

That place should be where the Krakens are about to log in.

Su Heng looked in the direction marked on the map, which happened to be the gap in the outermost city wall. The black waves rose and fell, leaving fine white foam on the cold beach.

Sudden.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, if his consciousness was not in the steel body of the fourth template.

Su Heng, you may shiver and get goosebumps all over your body.

"I understand..." he thought, "it turns out that the treasures left behind by the golden age that the pirates said about them really exist, and they are right in front of me!"
