After all, the chances of encountering an Advanced Mechanical Beast were much higher. Lu Ziye was grateful that he had retreated from the Level Area, as most of the Mechanical Beasts around him were of a lower level, with fewer high-level ones. This was crucial for the upcoming battle. For instance, ordinary Mechanical Beasts at lower levels could be taken down with just a few shots, but higher-level ones required more effort, and Elite ones were even tougher to deal with. The easier they were to kill, the less likely he was to be surrounded.
At this moment, Lu Ziye drove his Surge Mecha with full power, continuing to break through towards the Level Area. As he ran, his triple-barreled explosive cannon fired off rounds, taking down Mechanical Beasts in an instant. His base attack speed surged once again as he ran and retaliated.
However, the relentless Mechanical Beasts kept pouring in from underground and all directions. "Die already!" Lu Ziye roared, shouting as he swung his Blood Cry Sabre like a Miao Dao, blasting apart dozens of Mechanical Beasts that tried to close in on him with his Violent Cannon.
"You have killed 10 Mechanical Beasts, 5 Level Mechanical Beasts, and 3 Level Mechanical Beasts. You have gained 1 Energy Progress bar and upgraded your Energy Core to level 2. Your base attack speed has increased."
His level had risen to level 2, but now killing Mechanical Beasts below this level not only failed to increase his attack speed but also yielded very little Energy Progress. Only by defeating higher-level Mechanical Beasts could he reap normal rewards in energy and attack speed.
But at this moment, Lu Ziye couldn't afford to think about that. The Mechanical Beasts wouldn’t hold back just because they were lower level than him. To his surprise, after reaching level 2, he found that his energy intensity had increased significantly, and his Firepower Index had surged dramatically as well.
With double the extra attack speed combined with his upgraded Energy Core, both his Blood Cry Sabre and Violent Cannon became even more powerful.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With continuous cannon fire output, a large number of Mechanical Beasts around Lu Ziye collapsed. He sliced through several of them with a single swing of his Blood Cry Sabre as they got too close.
He still had a distance to cover before reaching the Level Area. "Come on!" Lu Ziye was confident that once he entered the Level Area and the power of the Mechanical Beasts diminished, he would definitely be able to hold on.
For now, even in the Level Area, Lu Ziye felt that if he fought with all his might, he could vaguely sense a stable retreat ahead.
In the Level Area, patrol members at level 3 formed a circle, dozens of mechas standing back-to-back unleashing their full firepower against various types of Mechanical Beasts in front of them. They continuously eliminated them while more kept pouring in.
These individuals had upgraded Energy Cores that released extraordinary power; however, they lacked Lu Ziye's attack speed. No matter how high their single-hit damage was, it didn’t matter if it took too long to kill a single Mechanical Beast.
They were constantly hit by the incoming mechas. Fortunately, their level 3 mechs were not easily destroyed by these lower-level machines. Their situation was quite peculiar—they couldn’t launch an assault or retreat and were firmly surrounded by the Mechanical Beasts, trapped with no way out.
"Captain, what should we do? We've all been hit by these Mechanical Beasts, and our mechs are damaged. I can hold on, but we can't get out. How do we save the others?"
Here, we can't communicate through channels. The Mechanics have resorted to the most primitive form of communication, using the mech's loudspeakers to shout at each other.
"No, the Death Order from above has been issued. We must advance towards the Level Area, step by step."
"Captain, we can barely hold our ground in the Level Area. Each mech is sustaining damage—it's not fatal yet, but if we continue to push into the more dangerous levels of the Level Area, we're likely to face total annihilation."
"We are soldiers; we obey orders. The Guardian Mecha will hold strong! We charge northward with everything we've got—let's kill!"
"Understood!"
And so, three Patrol Teams surged from the Level Area, disregarding their mech's damage as they charged desperately towards the Level Area.
Meanwhile, Lu Ziye fought and retreated quickly towards the Level Area, with both sides drawing closer together.
