Chapter 887: Chapter 843 That Infinite Wisdom and Treasures…_1 Chapter 887: Chapter 843 That Infinite Wisdom and Treasures…_1 “Run!!
Run for your life!!!”
Standing at the Bronze City Gate, Victoria watched Shuihua charging towards her while shouting for her to escape.
Even though her face was pale, she persisted and didn’t turn tail and run.
Lance and Shuihua had long abandoned the surfbards that conserved energy but lacked flexibility, instead relying on their legs to speed and leap between the bronze structures.
They wished they had an extra pair of legs!
Fight?
Fight my ass!
After witnessing the emergence of the Mechanical Giant Snake up close, neither of them had any intention of fighting it.
How could two ants stand against an elephant?
With weapons that were no more useful than toothpicks?
Moreover, their environment was extremely hostile, with rolling waves and flying debris.
If they ran too slow, they might get swept away by the water.
Therefore…

The only option was to run for their lives!
The subsequent development was the pair desperately running ahead, occasionally shooting arrows and throwing concealed weapons as a formality.
Meanwhile, the Mechanical Giant Snake followed relentlessly, accompanied by its grand music, the deafening sound of metal colliding, and towering waves.
Each of the giant serpent’s attacks—whether lunges or tail smacks—were devastating.
Even the bronze architecture was either bitten in half or squashed flat by its tail.
Anything in its way was annihilated, death being the certain fate of the dwellers inside.
From time to time, the giant serpent would roll up huge chunks of architectural debris and hurl it at the two of them.
For the pair on the run, it felt like a rain of iron was pouring down from the sky.
A direct hit would leave them either dead or severely injured.
Ordinary Players would have not been able to run far in this situation.
They would have been crushed into a pancake in a short time.
But the absurd part was: these two actually managed to run all the way from the city to its edge, up till the Bronze Gate!
The difference was that—
Lance once again demonstrated his astounding abilities.
Not only did he choose secure and stable landing spots with each jump, but he also successfully predicted every attack from the Mechanical Giant Snake!
No matter how ferocious the attacks of the Giant Snake were, he was always one step ahead, avoiding them in advance.
As for the ‘bronze hail’ pouring down on them, he could dodge those that were potentially deadly, use his hand shield to block those of medium size, and recover health with a liquor gourd for small bits of rubble that he couldn’t avoid.
He looked as though dancing on a tightrope, forever on the verge of collapse, yet somehow always maintaining balance.
Not only that, but he even found the energy to observe Shuihua’s situation and frequently shouted reminders to her about landing points and incoming attacks.
The live-streamer community both marveled at the thrill and acknowledged that as a celebrity professional player, Lance genuinely had some skills!
As for Shuihua, it was a different story: stumbling and tumbling the whole time, needing Lance’s aid, she didn’t seem any different from an ordinary player.
It was hard enough to focus on parkour on rooftops, let alone predicting attacks.
She would occasionally choose the wrong landing spot and fall off the wall, be toppled by the waves the serpent stirred, or find that her chosen landing spot had been destroyed after barely avoiding the serpent’s swiping tail.
One mishap followed another, screams of terror made it seem like she could meet her end anytime.
However, insightful members of the live-streamer community gradually noticed something off—
Lance looked stable, but was continuously drinking to restore health.
Shuihua seemed to be on the verge of dropping dead at any moment, but she’d never once taken out her liquor gourd!
Undoubtedly, she went through numerous brushes with death, but despite that, she’d never been injured seriously!
Thinking back on her time on screen, the audience couldn’t even recall her ever getting hurt!
The viewers watched with mixed feelings as the pair, fleeing from the colossal BOSS, managed to cross the city center and reach the city boundaries without losing their lives…
Until Victoria too came into view on the screen.
Member of the first wave that had plummeted from above died almost instantly upon landing, and those who hadn’t died were too affected by the appearance of the giant serpent and lost their lives.
Since the respawn point on the tower at the city center was completely submerged, they respawned directly in front of the Bronze Gate.
“Run!!
οѵǤօ.сο
Run for your life!!!”
The teammates who had respawned saw the Mechanical Giant Snake wreaking havoc on everything after Lance and Shuihua, and promptly turned around and ran as advised.
Victoria, however, insisted on waiting until the pair made it to her and only then did she retreat behind the gate.
“Quick!
Close the gate!”
The three of them pulled the bronze door ring with all their might and just managed to close the Bronze Gate, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
The moment the Bronze gate shut, the head of the Mechanical Giant Snake violently hit it.
“Duang!!!”
The deafening impact sound echoed endlessly in the tunnel.
“Duang!!”
“Duang!!”
“Duang!!”
…
Undeterred, the Mechanical Giant Snake kept hitting the Bronze Gate without any intention of giving up.
The gate was shaking violently, causing the whole tunnel to vibrate.
The falling dirt from the roof of the cave made the three of them feel uneasy.
“Duang!!”
After another strike, the mangled, Bronze Gate suddenly protruded significantly.
The gate fissured, the door from top to bottom began detaching from the walls of the Bronze City.
It was apparent; the door was about to give up!
The three exchanged glances and bolted!
Behind them, the mechanical giant snake paused its assault, biting the bronze door and then coiling its body tightly, collecting energy, until finally——
It yanked off the bronze door!
“Bang!”
The bronze door fell, causing a tremendous sound in Mechanism City.
The water flowed through the opened gate and poured into the underground tunnel without ceasing, and the giant snake pounced again, tearing and biting, trying to widen the cave to continue its hunt.
Inside the tunnel, the players were soon caught up by the rushing water, forcing them to run for their lives.
Victoria, Shuihua, and Lance, at the very back, witnessed the bronze door being torn apart, the giant snake swallowing earth and stones, and wished they could rush back to the surface in one breath.
The water was close on their heels, surging every second!
For all the players in the tunnel, this was a race against life and death!
…
…
Above the ground, players who had not taken the [Mechanism City Express] were gathering in Francis’s backyard, planning to take the “main route” to witness the flood scene in Mechanism City.
Francis, dumbfounded, watched a large crowd rush into his shop and towards his backyard.
Just as he was about to ask what they were up to, he felt something wrong and subconsciously looked towards the secret tunnel.
The next moment, a fountain, higher than the house, suddenly burst from the entrance of the tunnel!
And this fountain was not just spouting water; it was also spewing people!
These people screamed as the fountain shot them into the sky, and then landed in the courtyard with more screams.
Luckily the fountain’s force lasted for only a short while.
It soon lost power, lowered its height little by little, and slowly calmed down.
But when Victoria, Lance and Shuihua, soaked to the bone, crawled up from the ground, the entrance of the secret tunnel was still gurgling water!
—— Obviously, not only had Mechanism City been flooded, but Francis’ underground workshop was also inundated…
Francis shook off his astonishment, rushed to the trio and roared,
“What on earth did you do?!”
“Um…” Shuihua honestly explained, “We’ve flooded Mechanism City.”
“?!” Francis bellowed, “Do you realize what you’re saying?
You’ve destroyed the hope of Mechanical Art!!!”
Shuihua hastily waved her hands: “No, no, don’t be hasty, it should be back to normal by tomorrow…”
But before Shuihua could finish, beams of light suddenly descended from the sky, and the joyful and familiar symphony sounded simultaneously.
Rows of achievement trophies appeared before them.
This was yet another diamond achievement——
[Mechanism City Doomsday]!
Shuihua lifted the trophy, habitually looking at the words on the trophy base:
[That endless wisdom and treasures…]
“Huh?” She suddenly felt something was amiss, “The text after the ellipses… doesn’t it read [were completely destroyed in the catastrophe of the flood]?”
“Doesn’t that mean…”
She shyly looked at Francis: “I’m sorry, but it probably won’t recover…”
If no achievements were triggered, Mechanism City might very well be reset and restored the next day.
But once an achievement was triggered, it indicated that there was a high probability that Cloud Dream had anticipated this possibility.
Whether the destruction caused would be restored then became a more complicated question…
“You!
You guys…” Francis stared at the three of them, so angry that his fingers were trembling, his lips were trembling, his whole body was trembling!
But before he could vent his anger, another unexpected event occurred——
A giant spinning cone suddenly burst out from the ground!
Immediately, one segment after another of the giant body drilled out of the hole, completely crushing Francis’s house and causing a huge destruction in the residential area of the market.
When it fully emerged from the ground, with half its body coiled and half standing vertically, roaring at the crowd.
It was already over 50 meters high!
The aura was astonishing!
All the players who had been in the backyard were thrown wildly by the emergence of the mechanical giant snake, leaving them dizzy.
Francis, as a Master Level individual, stood firmly on a rooftop a little further away, watching the astounding mechanical giant snake, with his mouth wide open and unable to speak a word.
Obviously, this creation far exceeded the ridiculous degree of his Mechanism Armor, and deeply shocked him.
Shuihua, Lance, and Victoria also climbed up onto the rooftop.
Victoria and Lance watched the mechanical giant snake, wondering how to wrap up the situation.
Shuihua, however, seemed to have an idea.
She walked over to Francis, pointed at the mechanical giant snake and asked,
“Does that big fellow…count as a [Relic]?”
“Huh?”
Francis glanced at Shuihua, then at the mechanical giant snake, and finally at his house that had been leveled, finding it hard to speak without stuttering.
“It…should…count…I guess?”
