Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Upon hearing Qiuye’s question, Salt White Lamiya chuckled:

”That’s indeed a very intriguing question.

Most snakes lay eggs.

However, I think most Subhumans are likely viviparous, right?

If you know of any egg-laying Subhumans, be sure to let me know.

Alright.

We’ve arrived at the first level, please prepare yourselves for combat.

The machine that shrinks me is on the fourth level.

I have some clues about how to lift the curse on me.

Just get me there, and I can resolve it myself.”

Yang Yu and his team looked up; pure white robots were swarming between various strange instruments, seemingly searching for something.

These robots were quite similar to the small walking mecha seen in many of Yang Yu’s sci-fi movies, with slender legs supporting spindle-shaped control cabins, adorned with flexible robotic arms.

Ever seen Iron Daring Train Hero?

Stretch the arms and legs of the Iron Daring Train Hero and coat it all white, and it would resemble the robots Yang Yu was seeing.

Sadly, these robots were only about as tall as an adult, unable to accommodate any personnel for operation.

A succession of data panels from the robots floated in front of Yang Yu’s eyes.

The attributes of these robots were uniformly organized, averaging around 1000, which posed a severe challenge for most of the Lamia Clan members with a Level under 100 and an average attribute of just 800 in this confined space — and not to mention trying to protect the surrounding instruments.

Yang Yu twisted his neck repeatedly to loosen up his body and started speaking:

”Though we haven’t officially battled with them yet, I can discern their strength.

Frankly, it’s a bit challenging for you.

If I’m not mistaken, you must have triggered some alarms when you messed with that machine, which caused these machines to flood the space.

Haven’t you researched many weapons...

Wait, before you can contain the power within a certain range, your weapons might directly blow up the ruins.

Didn’t you hint to others during trade to come deal with the situation here?”

Salt White Lamiya was candid: ”Even our top experts here struggle to handle this situation.

If we seek external help...

Most of our contacts are various merchants, and they would definitely exploit this situation to demand exorbitant prices.

I can already envision a greasy-faced merchant swinging their oily, chubby cheeks saying, ’We put a lot of effort in getting these big shots here. You’ll have to make it worth it! Don’t let us down!’

Being under someone else’s control doesn’t feel good.

Moreover, if others discover the secrets of our ruins, there’s no guarantee that they won’t come up with cunning plans, making us a target of many.

I don’t want my clan to live a life filled with everyday battles, nor do I want to hand this place over to others.

You stand out, considering your purpose and attitude towards us, the Lamia Clan, I deduce you’re trustworthy.

The cost will surely be within an acceptable range for us.

In a few years, if we still haven’t developed weapons controlling the power within a specific range, we will indeed seek external assistance.

Now that you’re here, it saves us the trouble.

Alright, let’s get to work!

A similar situation occurred before, but the security Level then wasn’t as high.

Enemies inside would be stronger.

I accidentally touched the mechanisms, and it took me an enormous effort to escape.

...A few of my clan members died inside because of my mistake.”

Salt White Lamiya lowered her head, looking like a five or six-year-old girl who had done something wrong. Some unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, leaving her perplexed and dejected.

”Let me see your capabilities and remind you once again.

Absolutely ensure the safety of the instruments!

Since these robots form the defense army here, they won’t attack the instruments unless specially provoked.

If possible, resolve the battle head-on!”

Saying this, Salt White Lamiya’s tail wriggled backward like a caterpillar and curled into the elevator where Yang Yu’s team entered, completely separated by a transparent glass window.

”Due to shrinking so much, I’m no longer a combat force, leaving the rest to you.

You can lure them into this narrow passageway.

Let’s start quickly!”

Yang Yu picked up his Shield, ”Before leaving, at least tell us these guards’ weaknesses for better strategy efficiency.”

Salt White Lamiya coiled her tail and waved to Yang Yu’s team, ”I forgot to mention. Although you can hear me from there, I can’t hear you from here. Good luck to you!”

With a helpless smirk, Yang Yu moved to the front of the team.

Regardless, since it only requires combat to complete the Task, Yang Yu naturally wouldn’t refuse and immediately commanded his teammates:

”Iyas, buff up! Launch the initial Attack! Bai Jin, prepare freezing Magic and freeze them all in place! Others, act on the opportunity!”

Upon Yang Yu’s command, Iyas unhesitatingly picked up the Longbow, ready to unleash buffs on the team.

Apply all useful buffs; the operation can only become twice as efficient with half the effort.

What Iyas didn’t anticipate was that just she had applied a [True Word Blessing] on herself, the piercing alarm rang across the entire space, and the once bright space was completely shrouded in flashing red light.

The silent ruins instantly entered a state of alert!

The robots moving around seemed to smell blood like hunting dogs, raising their weapons without hesitation and shooting over.

Numerous bullets arrived in front of Yang Yu in a blink, and Yang Yu hurriedly deployed the Illusion Shield, with streams of light brushing past it.

Several close-combat robots transformed Light Blades in their hands and moved fluidly amidst the barrage, slashing toward Yang Yu.

He Meng morphed into human form, firing two Water Balls from her palms, sticking the approaching mecha to the ground.

Without time to prepare large Control Magic, Bai Jin cast Frost Ice Arrow, controlling the power while aiming at the enemies, shattering each attacking mecha, leaving only golden cores.

The golden cores rolled to the ground, seemingly drawn by something, rolling into the walls at an unimaginable speed, while scattered mechanical fragments all turned into Magic Power, completely disappearing.

Robots have no emotion; they only execute commands.

Robots came attacking one after another!

Having undergone numerous battles, the team’s coordination had been nothing short of perfect, how could foes of this difficulty possibly challenge Yang Yu and his team?

The only trouble was that these inconspicuous robots shared various information, possessing certain learning capabilities. After Yang Yu’s team took down dozens of robots, the subsequent ones grew increasingly hard to deal with.

Yang Yu swung forward with a sword, and a robot seemed to see through his move, easily evading Yang Yu’s Attack.

Fortunately, Yang Yu initially had a probing mindset, deliberately concealing his strength, adding just a bit of Speed, easily slicing off the robot’s arm, stabbing into the robot’s control cabin, and extracting the robot’s Core.
