Earlier, it was revealed that the Party was digging for worldview information in the city of government agencies and found the prophecy of "the return of evil spirits to the world".

The Mechanism City is the power left over from the ancient Mechanism masters who came from the east to prepare for the fight against "evils".

Due to unknown accidents, Ruming City has been reduced to ruins, but fortunately many valuable items have been left behind.

Clockwork airships are one of them.

The players who qualified for the external test followed the mission instructions and boarded the airship again to command Luoyang City.

Super Tomato and Ah Yi were both standing on the deck of their respective airships, counting the prepared supplies.

"50 magic-breaking talismans, 40 liters of spirits with added fire damage, 1 clockwork gun, 1000 rounds of Xuanxuan bullets, 3 master-level swords, 1 master-level spear, 1 master-level divine bow, rockets,

60 explosive arrows and 60 cold iron arrows each..."

Super Tomato looked at the pile of props he had prepared, and felt that it would be enough to at least rush to the palace, not just kill Luoyang City.

The speed of the airship is as fast as ever.

In less than two minutes, he saw Luoyang City shrouded in black and red miasma to the east.

The thick miasma seemed to hold the entire city in an empty bowl, blocking his view from the air. The airship also stopped at the edge of the miasma.

Super Tomato is not a surprise - no matter how free the development team is, they will not allow players to land directly in the Imperial City at the beginning and go straight to the previous BOSS An Lushan.

Pulling the rope, Super Tomato landed on the edge of the miasma.

But as soon as he landed, the miasma spread over him instantly, as if it were alive, and enveloped him!

Before Super Tomato could react, a layer of black traces like oil appeared on the [Mechanism Box] decorated with many supplies. The originally indestructible box quickly decayed, and an originally invisible layer of lines drawn with green-gold dye appeared on it.

The box emerged, and within seconds it exploded into light flakes before Super Tomato's eyes and disappeared.

Then - all the props in the machine box spurted out!

The strong liquor quickly became fishy, ​​and the master-level weapons, clockwork guns, bullets, and arrows of all kinds lost their original luster and decayed quickly as the miasma invaded.

The only exception is the wine gourd around his waist.

But the wine inside quickly evaporated and disappeared.

Super Tomato watched his master-level sword break in his leg, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

But that's not the beginning.

Soon, the black-red miasma, or "demon energy", began to flow into his body.

Then, his internal organs began to feel burning pain, blood quickly dispersed from his body into miasma, and his body became weaker and weaker.

Super Tomato had a strong foreboding feeling in Ye Chang. He went to open the character panel, and then his eyes widened——

The advanced martial arts skills he had finally mastered were rapidly fading at this moment. At first, they disappeared as his blood energy dispersed, and his strong physique also disappeared.

——His kung fu high legs were forced to zero in just a few seconds and he became an ordinary person.

Even worse than ordinary people!

Super Tomato was shocked as he experienced Donglai's rapidly weakening body: "Has he... been melted?"

He saw the props turned into rubbish at his feet and suffered a huge psychological impact.

After a while, he came back to his senses: "If you leave there, those things will be given to him, right?"

"It will definitely happen, right?"

"Did Yunmeng randomly select thousands of people to merge accounts?"

He comforted himself, reluctantly glanced at the garbage on the ground, took the remaining wine gourd, and walked back towards the city gate in a few steps.

…

The black-red miasma was like a thick fog, greatly affecting his vision. Things twenty meters away became a bit hazy, and only the outline of the tall city wall in the distance could be seen.

Before arriving at the city gate, Super Tomato first saw an upturned carriage.

There seems to have been a battle there. Scattered grains and broken swords can be seen on the ground. There is an extinguished bonfire and an iron pot.

Apparently it happened suddenly.

Super Tomato Dong's consciousness opened the wooden lid of the iron pot.

——Kick every kickable can, open every openable box, and look for any hidden props, which is not the habit of licking players.

Bu Nao Super Tomato didn't find anything in the iron pot. Instead, he looked at the pot lid in his legs in surprise——

【Pot lid】

[shield]

1 defense

1 damage

Can be counterattacked

Equipable

(The pot lid lost by a passer-by is worthless to ordinary people, but in the hands of a master, it is not a bad idea to face the devil directly!)——

"???"

"Is that a shield?"

"1 defense to face the devil?"

"Wait, Demon God? There really is that thing!?"

Super Tomato was very surprised and confused.

But now whether to keep the external test secret, obviously we can't discuss it with anyone. The best we can do is talk to Ah Yi and the others behind the Eastern Front. Now we can continue to take over Donglai with a lot of question marks in our heads:

From the broken weapons, I found the only sword that was stuck on the ground and was considered complete——

【Iron Sword】

[arms]

5 damage

Equipable

(The iron sword lost by a certain villager, which was the best sword in their village, was saved from being destroyed by the miasma with the blessings of the villagers, but its owner did not have that good luck.)——

"What village has a good sword!" Super Tomato said with a strong desire to complain.

First, he picked up the surviving pot of wine by the campfire and carefully poured it into his own wine gourd.

Afterwards, they walked around the carriage again to make sure that nothing was missing, and then they continued towards the city gate with the "best sword in the village" in hand.

"That's good. At least he didn't have to save the world with his legs empty."

With the sword and wine, the savior's confidence returned to Super Tomato again!

But until he walked to the city gate, he didn't meet anyone.

——After passing through the thick fog, he saw the huge statue of a military commander in front of Dingding Gate.

The sculpture is so lifelike that it almost looks like a real person. The only unreal thing is his astonishing height of over three meters.

Also, I don’t know why: there is a sword stuck in the heart of the sculpture.

The blade of the sword is almost completely submerged into the body of the sculpture, leaving only the hilt of the sword.

Super Tomato looked around the sculpture, a little confused.

Out of caution, he ignored the sculpture and ran to the closed city gate and tried to push it open.

But the city gate was too heavy, he had lost all his martial arts bonuses, and his body was weaker than ordinary people. Even if he had used all his strength to feed himself, the city gate would not move at all.

In desperation, he just retreated and came to the only clue again——

The statue may appear to be made of stone, but the sword at the center of the statue is not made of iron.

Therefore, the sword is most likely not part of the sculpture, but was inserted into it by someone behind the scenes.

Super Tomato stretched out his legs and tried to pull out the sword.

But the moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, a vision suddenly occurred!

In front of his eyes, an illusion appeared——

Is that the illusion in my sister’s heart?

Silver flames were burning around her, her black hair was draped, and there were a few bloodstains on her face, making her look a little embarrassed.

Through the illusion, she looked at Super Tomato and said:

"They failed."

"But he knew that I would definitely come to find him, so he left the master's sword."

"Is that the only sword that can burn miasma and cut off immortality?"
