This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1239 - 553 Terminator TK-105_2

"Obviously not... I’ll send Ling Long over later, and have her follow your instructions."

"..."

The Watchman gave a wry smile, knowing he probably couldn’t get out of it and said no more.

"By the way, the ’door’ hasn’t been closed yet?" the Watchman suddenly asked.

"No, why?" Mu You said. It had been only four or five hours since he opened the door and came out, so it was still a long way from closing time.

"Number Two wants you to go to the Abyss for a bit. He says he caught a weird thing but can’t handle it himself, so he needs you to go there in person," the Watchman said.

"He can’t handle it?" Mu You was surprised.

A Medicinal Plant Gatherer was a being who had lived for four thousand years at an epic level of strength, no less powerful than the average legendary creature, and with a max-level Two-Headed Dragon by his side. Even if the Abyss’s monsters were of a higher level, could there really be something he couldn’t deal with? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"The specifics, I’m not clear on. The description in the text game was pretty vague. It really requires a person to go take a look," the Watchman explained.

"Alright."

Mu You ended the private chat, put away his phone, and stepped through the door once again.

The Great Abyss was located at the southwest corner of the continent, a considerable distance from the Lan Ai’er Empire. Previously, even the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had to fly on the Two-Headed Dragon for two days and nights to get there.

However, since Mu You had access to the Teleportation Arrays scattered all over the continent, it was more convenient for him to travel than for the gatherer.

First, Mu You teleported to the Sunlight Elves’ territory, then, by using the array in Phoenix City, he teleported to an Elf branch tribe in the southwest of the continent.

From there, the Great Abyss was much closer.

Nevertheless, even so, Mu You still traveled straight for fifteen to sixteen hours before finally arriving near the Abyss.

Riding on a broomstick in the air, Mu You looked down to see the so-called Abyss, a massive pit with a diameter of two kilometers, veiled in a layer of mist, hazy and mysterious.

From high above, it looked like a giant hole punched into the earth by a Titan wielding a spear.

Mu You flew downward, soon landing on the edge of the Abyss.

It was only there that he could fully grasp the enormity of this natural pit.

The two kilometers in diameter made the Abyss much larger than it appeared, with humans standing around the perimeter like ants edging around a pot, insignificant as dust.

Looking down, one could only see as far as two hundred meters. Beyond that was complete darkness.

The surrounding cliffs were smooth, almost entirely composed of steep angles close to ninety degrees. Fortunately, there were many vines growing on these cliff walls around the Abyss’s edge, along with numerous ropes fixed by human devices, leading down into the darkness, making exploration of the Abyss possible.

After wandering around the pit’s edge for a while, a figure appeared on the cliff wall below—it was the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

With a basket on his back and a sickle in his mouth, he moved nimbly on the rock wall like a sprite, quickly climbing to the top and leaping ashore to land in front of Mu You.

"What’s going on?" Mu You asked.

The man in front of him was just the game character of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer, unable to directly merge memories, but face-to-face communication was not an issue.

"I caught a mechanical creature down below; it’s a bit odd. All magic is ineffective against it, and its HP bar is so long it’s almost impossible to see the end. I fear it might require the use of Divine Skin to deal with it," the Medicinal Plant Gatherer said.

"Oh? Where is it?"

"I couldn’t beat it, so I had the Shadow Fur Ball seal it in Shadow Space first."

"Release it. I want to take a look," Mu You said.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer nodded and the two left the edge of the Abyss to find a concealed open area nearby.

"Be careful. This thing is very aggressive."

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer gave a warning before summoning the Shadow Fur Ball.

A dark mass extended from his shadow onto the ground in front of them, spreading out in the shape of a ’hedgehog’. Then, the hedgehog opened its massive mouth and tossed out a humanoid mechanical body.

Mu You glanced at the humanoid machine—it was not much different from a standard robot, short in stature, with a height and build similar to that of a Medicinal Plant Gatherer. Its entire metallic body was a mix of black and white.

To Mu You’s slight surprise, the mechanical being even bore some resemblance to a Medicinal Plant Gatherer in appearance.

The robot fell to the ground but quickly sprang up, assuming a combat stance. It scanned the two of them before its gaze swiftly locked onto the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

"Target confirmed: KT-54054608, Offense: The birth of an unconventional inquisitive mind, the disturbance of rules... Execution order: Exterminate... Destroy... Eradicate completely!"

The robot’s voice emitted a flat, monotonous baritone.

Then, bending its knees and maintaining its combat posture, it charged towards the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer had already witnessed the machine’s prowess and knew not to confront it head-on, hastily retreating.

But the legs of the robot seemed spring-loaded, accelerating out of thin air in mid-jump, and it instantly caught up with the Medicinal Plant Gatherer.

However, just as its attack was about to land, Mu You teleported to the side, lashing out with a punch as Divine Skin surfaced on his arm.

"Boom!"

The next instant, the small-framed robot was slammed by Mu You’s suddenly enlarged arm into the earth, rendered motionless for a moment.

Seconds later, Mu You retracted his arm, revealing the large crater he had created in the ground.

Within the center of the crater, the mechanical being was so twisted and covered in cracks that it hardly resembled a humanoid form.

"It doesn’t seem very strong..." Mu You commented, looking at the Medicinal Plant Gatherer with some confusion. If this was the level of its ability, even though it was immune to magic, surely he should have been able to deal with it?

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer didn’t respond but gestured for him to keep watching.

Turning his head, Mu You saw the once-damaged robot in the pit, its body visibly reattaching at an observable pace. Within a few seconds, it had returned to normal and leaped up from the ground as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Mu You suddenly felt as if the magic power inside him was rapidly draining away—not only the regular Magic Power but also the natural Magic Power within the Secret Art Crystal.

Mu You frowned, glancing instinctively at the mechanical being ahead.

Was this thing absorbing his magic power?

Thinking it over, he seized the remaining magic power in the crystal and flicked his right hand, tossing out three Small Fireball spells.

Three basin-sized fireballs hurtled towards the robot.

Yet before they could hit, all of the fireballs shrank and disappeared about a meter away from the robot, as if they withered by half, failing to inflict any damage on the mechanical being.

"As expected, unharmed by magic..." Mu You sighed. He had thought the Medicinal Plant Gatherer meant it was only immune to standard spells, so he was surprised to find even Black Magic rendered ineffective.

At that moment, the robot ahead suddenly turned towards Mu You, its black eye sockets glowing red, scanning him up and down as it once again uttered robotic, mechanical sounds.

"Obstruction detected... Confirming identity of obstructer VA-00150546, not a target’s kin, not classified as a protected species... Initiating obstruction priority eradication process... Total annihilation!"

With this declaration, the robot directly charged at Mu You.

And only then, during the head-on battle, did Mu You’s Omniscient Crystal finally relay information about the opponent.

[Terminator TK-105: An unknown intelligent mechanical unit, Strength: 78, Agility: 156, Intelligence: Analysis failed, Constitution: Analysis failed, Defense: 105-4250, HP: Analysis failed...]

The feedback contained a multitude of ’Analysis failed,’ but even just from the visible part of the opponent’s health bar, Mu You could immediately sense the difficulty of the challenge. It was not that the robot had an exceptionally long health bar, but rather... it seemingly had an innumerable stack of overlapping health bars!

This meant that the creature did not just have one life. As it quickly recovered from earlier injuries, it could virtually regenerate indefinitely until all its health bars were depleted!

No wonder the Medicinal Plant Gatherer had said it was unbeatable.

This thing was not only immune to all magic, but it could even drain their magic power, preventing them from using spells. In addition, its exposed attributes and absurd defensive power were at least on par with those of an epic-tier enemy, let alone its bizarre self-healing property. It made perfect sense for the Medicinal Plant Gatherer to be no match.

Even for Mu You, aside from his Divine Skin, the only countermeasure he could think of was the Wind Burial Cannon, which regrettably had just been used in the game and was currently in cooldown.
