The Flying Drill plunged into a protruding lava flow, narrowly saving Lin Yuan from the fate of being roasted like popcorn.
However, this was a constantly erupting volcano. The high temperature was bearable for Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body, but being splashed by the molten lava could lead to a loss of Health Points. With only about seven hundred Health Points remaining, he couldn't withstand much longer.
In this situation, Lin Yuan could only keep a close watch on his surroundings while praying that the dozens of Mechanical Chicks feasting on the barbecue would leave soon. Although these creatures were not adult Mechanical Giant Birds, they were undoubtedly powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't be so comfortably standing in the lava.
Fortunately, the Raymond Coast Crabs caught by the Adult Mechanical Giant Birds were quickly thrown away. Once there were no more 'popcorn' in the volcano, those happy young Mechanical Giant Birds reluctantly began to leave.
At that moment, Lin Yuan silently shouted his thanks and hurriedly climbed up. However, he dared not move again because the juvenile Mechanical Giant Birds had not gone far; they seemed to be waiting for the next wave of popcorn.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yuan finally got a good look at these juvenile Mechanical Giant Birds. Although they were still large in size, their appearance had not yet become fully mechanized; they remained fluffy and somewhat pudgy. Of course, this fluffiness was relative, as it was clear they were still growing. Rough mechanical scales had already begun to appear around their beaks and claws.
Then Lin Yuan observed that these juvenile Mechanical Chicks seemed a bit silly. At first glance, one might be startled by their size and think them fierce and intimidating, but in reality, they were just young creatures.
Some of them had managed to snatch enough Raymond Coast Crab popcorn earlier and were now sprawled out with their bellies up, dozing off despite the flowing lava around them. This should have been a cute scene, but the problem was that these creatures were too large; each one was nearly the size of an Adult Mechanical Giant Bird. The only difference was that the adult birds looked very capable in their Mechanical Armor, which instilled fear in onlookers, while these chicks appeared as if they had been inflated like balloons.
Aside from the well-fed Mechanical Chicks, there were also those who hadn’t eaten enough. They flapped their messy wings incessantly and squawked loudly while running around chaotically like a bunch of wound-up chickens—truly a scene of chaos!
Reaching this conclusion, Lin Yuan finally let out a slight sigh of relief and cautiously activated his Second Audio-Visual Radar to observe the massive island.
He now believed that this island must have emerged after the Energy Crisis erupted because he had just tested the temperature of the molten lava with his Intellect and found it had reached a terrifying 40 degrees Celsius. No wonder it could damage his Health Points; he was certain that if he fell into it, he would be dead within ten minutes.
The results of his observations were disappointing because the island was simply too vast. The volcano he was near alone was enormous; with his Second Audio-Visual Radar's range, he couldn't see its edges at all. Moreover, it seemed there wasn't just one volcanic vent; within a three-kilometer radius, there were at least a dozen large vents at varying heights, all continuously spewing molten lava as if they had transformed into waterfalls cascading down mountains.
But what surprised him the most was the sheer number of Mechanical Giant Birds. At every volcanic crater, there were at least a dozen or several dozen Mechanical Chicks gathered around, yet he did not see any terrifying Adult Mechanical Giant Birds. This was understandable; to sustain so many Mechanical Chicks, constant hunting would be necessary.
Lin Yuan even thought, perhaps it was precisely because of the existence of these large-bellied Mechanical Giant Birds that Mechanical Beasts were so scarce across the entire Earth.
Having roughly grasped the situation, Lin Yuan decided to make his escape. He didn't know where he would go, but it was clear that he shouldn't linger near this volcanic crater. The silly Mechanical Chicks had yet to notice his presence, but once the Adult Mechanical Giant Birds returned, things could change. He had a feeling that those Adult Mechanical Giant Birds possessed some basic intelligence; otherwise, how could they have figured out how to roast Raymond Coast Crabs?
Of course, the main reason was that the Mechanical Armor on those Adult Mechanical Giant Birds was simply astonishing. The streamlined design and the exquisite assembly of various parts were nothing short of a masterpiece. Lin Yuan even felt that if given a chance to study the assembly and modification of those Mechanical Armors in detail, his Autonomous Repair Skill would surely level up three times.
After making his decision, Lin Yuan began to move cautiously, trying to make himself look more like a rock. Although he didn't resemble a rock at all, he figured those foolish birds wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
At first, Lin Yuan's escape plan went smoothly; those clumsy birds completely ignored him. He felt pleased and quickened his pace. Before long, he had already distanced himself from the volcanic crater, with even the nearest foolish bird over a hundred meters away.
Just as he prepared to flee at full speed, something palm-sized and rough appeared on the black-red ground within his Auditory Radar. It looked like scales and resembled an enlarged piece of dandruff—dry, dull, and lacking elasticity; it was just plain disgusting.
Moreover, Lin Yuan recognized at first glance that this must be the mechanical scales shed by those Mechanical Chicks; calling them flakes was only fitting.
However, an unexpected piece of information suddenly appeared in his Intellect and changed his mind.
"Ding! High-purity mechanical scales detected. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress. Data generated: This item is mechanical scales shed by Mutated Fire Crows, containing high-quality Biological Alloy with an excellent quality rating. The extraction will yield an Enhancement Level generally reaching 0 points, with average tensile strength parameters of 0.15; Fire Resistance 0; Ice Resistance 0; Physical Resistance 0; Dark Magic Resistance 1; Sound Wave Resistance 1; Mental Resistance 0.9; Lightning Resistance 0; Poison Resistance 90; Corrosion Resistance 1. Note: The so-called Resistance refers to specific values obtained under standard pressure tests in Mechanical City. This type of Biological Alloy meets the minimum material reserve standards set by the military of Mechanical City, with a purchase price of 00 Mechanical Coins per gram and 1 Mission Point. A single sale of 0 grams will additionally grant one Merit Point."
"Ding! New species detected. Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress. Data generated: Mutated Fire Crow, origin: Mars, Aleris Demon Star. It is a synthetic mutated species and one of the culprits behind the Energy Crisis on Earth Colonization Star. Danger level: First Dimension, five stars. It is precisely because they brought the Centrifugal Stone Mine Super Worm Virus from Aleris Demon Star that they destroyed the original biological system of Earth Colonization Star and gradually transformed remaining Carbon-Based Life into semi-Mechanical Life along with a small number of demonized beings."
"Beep, first dimension, new term being recorded, Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress, data generated. This term refers to the power standard established by the military of Mechanical City. The immense powers discovered and yet to be discovered throughout the universe can be divided into nine dimensions. Each dimension represents a corresponding powerful force, and the first dimension is known as the civilian difficulty of Mechanical City, essentially suitable for F-Level to d1 level Mechanical Warriors. Currently, the highest dimension mastered by Mechanical City is the sixth dimension; other data is incomplete, please continue to supplement..."
"Beep, Aleris Demon Star, new term being recorded, Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress, data generated, data incomplete... Aleris Demon Star is a planet of Dark Matter ruled by the Dark Demon Tribe, extremely dangerous. Currently, only d1 level or above Elite Warriors can venture there for battle; other data is insufficient, please pay attention to supplement..."
"Beep, Super Worm Virus, new term being recorded, Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress, data generated, data incomplete... It is one of the war weapons used by the Dark Demon Tribe against Mechanical City. Other data is insufficient, please pay attention to collect..."
"Beep, Resistance, new term being recorded, Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia data collection in progress, data generated. This generally refers to a certain resistance ability used to withstand adverse environmental conditions. The same object will exhibit different types of Resistance in different environments; for example, fire Resistance, ice Resistance. Generally speaking, the higher an object's Resistance, and the broader its types of Resistance, the greater its value. According to the laws of Mechanical City, cosmic Resistance includes physical Resistance, chemical Resistance, mental power Resistance, and dark magic Resistance."
"Among these, physical Resistance is the most common, specifically manifested as ordinary Enhancement Levels and tensile parameters: lightning Resistance, sound wave Resistance, radiation Resistance, energy Resistance. Next is chemical Resistance, which includes fire Resistance, ice Resistance, toxin Resistance, corrosion Resistance. Mental power Resistance and dark magic Resistance are considered special types of resistance. Data is incomplete; please pay attention to supplement..."
...
"Damn!"
Lin Yuan was stunned. The influx of that long string of new information nearly gave him a delightful feeling of crashing. However, once he came to his senses, he couldn't help but cheer wildly inside his heart. What a treasure! Although the Mutated Fire Crow was merely trash at the first dimension level across the universe, for him at this moment, it was like a timely gift. As long as he collected enough scales from this type of creature and brought them back, wouldn't he be striking it rich?
"I'm going to get rich! Haha!"
