Doomsday Roulette

Chapter 1657: Genius and Fool (Middle) 🤔

Published: February 12, 2025

A ninth-level creature could withstand the attack from the red dress guard, but it wasn't that easy to handle.

"Bang!"

A bright flash appeared, and the head of a mechanical rhinoceros exploded.

The entire layer of amber-like material covering the mechanical puppet fell significantly.

Ye Zhongming quickly adjusted his aim and targeted the next one.

At the moment when the red dress guard's collective skills failed, he clearly felt a noticeable dip in the morale of the entire Cloud Summit.

This was something Ye Zhongming absolutely did not want to see.

Thus, he decisively took action, using his gun skills and green-level bullets to attack a mechanical rhinoceros.

This was the fastest method he could think of that might bypass the amber layer and inflict damage on these metal lumps.

At this distance, as long as he could penetrate through the amber’s defense, Ye Zhongming could hit wherever he aimed.

The red crystal eyes of these mechanical rhinoceroses were indeed their weak points.

A short scream came from the mechanical puppet.

Clearly, the destruction of this mechanical puppet surprised and pained the young man inside.

At this moment, Ye Zhongming fired his second shot.

The amber layer suddenly flipped and transformed into a wall, standing on the not-so-wide circular mountain road, perfectly blocking his shot.

Smooth and beautiful, the red, yellow, and blue amber wall showed huge cracks radiating from the point of impact, spreading across the entire surface.

Ye Zhongming's two shots not only shocked the mysterious figure in the mechanical puppet into silence, but even the warriors of Cloud Summit Villa realized for the first time that the boss’s weapon could produce attacks of such magnitude.

This feeling was akin to seeing a bomb explode on television versus experiencing it firsthand; the difference was absolute.

Other attacks from the red dress guard's warriors followed, various colored skills crashing into the amber wall and shattering it instantly.

The previously low morale surged back up.

Some ranged attacks also hit these mechanical rhinoceroses.

If energy attacks were ineffective, what about pure physical attacks? Feather arrows, crossbow bolts, iron balls, short axes, javelins...

The mechanical rhinoceroses were repeatedly forced back by the dense barrage.

Their bodies began to show damage, with more and more dents and ruptures appearing.

The Cloud Summit team stepped forward three times in unison.

In this narrow passage, such movement exerted tremendous pressure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

A series of muffled sounds emerged from the rear of the mechanical puppets' position. As the sounds rang out, many black shadows shot into the sky. Ye Zhongming looked up and saw that these shadows were metal disks the size of washbasins, with a certain thickness, thinner on the edges.

These metal disks were launched into the air, likely affecting Yangos’s battle. The Evil Dragon exhaled dragon breath, burning many of them, but there were still over a hundred scattered in the sky.

The disks hovered there before starting to spin rapidly, and beams of energy began shooting out from within as they rotated.

They were short, about the length of an adult’s palm, pure black, and covered a wide area.

Dai Zhi, responsible for defense, led her people to uphold the red dress guard's protection.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In response to Cloud Summit's attack, sounds erupted again from those oddly shaped machines. Ten three-meter-long, one-meter-wide cylinders tied with iron chains were launched, soaring over the Cloud Summit team and landing in the back passage.

Before they hit the ground, these cylinders opened up, transforming into umbrella-like objects, with the iron chains tethered to them facing the direction of Cloud Summit. Behind the iron umbrellas were sharp metal spikes.

The iron chains suddenly tightened, and the creaking sound of mechanical movement followed. These heavy iron umbrellas were pulled back at high speed, and once they charged into the Cloud Summit formation, even without considering the metal spikes, the impact from their speed alone would be unbearable.
