Lin Yuan had now gained a clear understanding of the specific composition of his Auditory Radar. It was built upon Electromagnetic Particles, supplemented by a Spectral Tracking System, Sound Wave Reception System, Quantum Particle Collision System, Light and Shadow Imaging Coverage System, Gravitational Magnetic Sensing System, Airflow Simulation System, Precision Locking System, and other components that formed a comprehensive search mode.
In simple terms, the Auditory Radar allowed him to achieve visibility, audibility, virtual tactile sensing, imaging, rapid retrieval, and quick locking in most situations.
This was already quite powerful, capable of covering most scenarios.
However, this peculiar encounter made Lin Yuan certain that there were imperfections within the subsystems of his Auditory Radar.
Thus, it was not merely about his prey being snatched away; it related to greater hidden dangers and risks. Therefore, Lin Yuan needed to clarify the situation.
At that moment, he conducted a brief investigation on the spot and managed to find some clues. After all, while the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians were formidable, they did not specifically hide after a successful hunt. Consequently, they left numerous subtle tracks on the ground, which were sufficient for Lin Yuan to follow.
Of course, Lin Yuan dared not be careless this time; he remained ready to flee at any moment. However, due to his cautious nature, he encountered many silicon-based creatures along the way but managed to coexist peacefully with them. It was only at this point that he understood what the so-called peaceful mode of the Monthly Assessment entailed: as long as these Mechanical Warriors did not actively provoke them, the silicon-based creatures on this planet would not initiate attacks. After all, they had no interest in a bunch of metal clumps.
Yet now, even though Lin Yuan understood this point, he absolutely would not give up and stubbornly continued his pursuit.
To his surprise, the lair of those Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians seemed quite distant. He tracked them for nearly four or five hundred miles before arriving at a rectangular valley. Here, he could clearly see many tracks left by the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians; evidently, this place should be their habitat.
However, for some reason, upon reaching this location, Lin Yuan noticed that his Auditory Radar was somewhat ineffective. Within a radius of forty kilometers, the images transmitted back became distorted.
"Magnetic Field?"
Lin Yuan had at least some knowledge and immediately recalled the connection between a compass and magnetic fields. However, he remained curious; his Auditory Radar was not an ordinary radar or compass but had a specialized system designed to counteract magnetic fields. Theoretically speaking, even if all the magnetic fields on Earth were concentrated into one point, they should not interfere with him. The high-tech products from Mechanical City were not so easily disrupted.
So what was happening at this moment?
Lin Yuan couldn't figure it out. But he had no intention of giving up; he needed to get to the bottom of it.
Therefore, he reduced the search radius of his Auditory Radar to twenty kilometers and continued to move forward slowly.
As Lin Yuan progressed, he noticed the absence of any Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians. Even the ordinary silicon-based creatures seemed to have vanished, making this place feel like a perilous land.
When Lin Yuan rounded a hilltop and entered a U-shaped valley, he was taken aback to find an expansive area before him. Three massive ravines stretched into the distance, their depths unfathomable. His Auditory Radar failed to detect specific locations within them, likely due to the bizarre conditions that distorted its readings. Even when he reduced its range to twenty kilometers, the images returned were warped, with only about fifteen kilometers of effective searching distance.
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt a faint, primordial aura emanating from the three enormous ravines—an unmistakable signature of the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians.
After hesitating briefly, Lin Yuan decided to press on. With each step forward, his Auditory Radar began to falter, and his Mechanical Body started to feel sluggish, as if it were suffering from an illness.
However, retreat was not an option for Lin Yuan. He steeled himself and continued onward. Still, he could not see any signs of the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians or even their footprints. Yet guided by that primordial aura, he felt confident he would not lose his way.
As he approached the entrances of the three vast ravines, his Auditory Radar could only maintain a search radius of five kilometers. His Mechanical Body exhibited severe sluggishness, akin to recovering from a serious illness. Meanwhile, the primordial aura intensified, almost taking on a tangible form as it surged through the air.
"Now I understand!" Lin Yuan finally exhaled in relief. Previously terrified by the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians, he now realized that this overwhelming and terrifying aura did not originate from them. It must be due to some unique Magnetic Field in their habitat that produced such a fearsome presence.
With this understanding, Lin Yuan decided against venturing further and prepared to turn back. There was no doubt that this place was nearly lethal for a Mechanical Warrior. Other life forms, such as Carbon-Based Life, would likely fare no better here; only those resilient Silicon-based Life forms could withstand such intense energy.
Just then, from the direction he had come, a cacophony of shrill cries erupted. Over a hundred Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians charged toward him with fierce expressions. From their sounds and through the Language Interaction System, it became clear they intended to capture him as an offering to a deity named Wumulu or Urumu.
Lin Yuan was startled and distressed; this was the downside of having his Auditory Radar forcibly compressed to a three-kilometer radius. Without further thought for anything else, he activated his Mechanical Wings and launched himself into the air. He could not approach the three great gorges with pursuers behind him; he had no choice but to ascend temporarily!
Despite his Mechanical Body being somewhat hindered by that strange aura, his overall mobility remained good. In an instant, he soared two or three hundred meters high and continued climbing. He believed that reaching six hundred meters above ground would be sufficient to evade any thrown spears from the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians!
However, Lin Yuan was surprised when those aggressive Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians suddenly halted and stared at him in silence as he ascended.
While pondering this strange behavior, Lin Yuan suddenly felt alarmed as an incredibly terrifying wave of energy erupted in the air around him. This force was far more menacing than that emitted by the Primitive Silicon-based Crocodilians; it felt almost tangible and violently hurled him several kilometers away. At the same time, he noticed something peculiar: under this energy's impact, his Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia and database were completely unsealed—including access to the Five-Dimensional Key Space—as if the Monthly Assessment's restrictions had been lifted.
"Ding! Magnetic Storm detected. Collecting data in Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia... Data generated: Magnetic Storm is caused by pulsed geomagnetic waves emitted from massive Heavy Iron Magnetism deposits located in the Swamp Star System. These deposits are extremely rare and can be absorbed by Silicon-based Life forms to generate powerful geomagnetic energy. This energy significantly enhances their combat capabilities but poses immense danger for Mechanical Warriors. Please evacuate immediately..."
“Beep! Number 1496871, your Monthly Assessment progress has encountered an anomaly. Please immediately call for help from the supervising instructor. Each call for help requires five hundred Mission Points. Note, this is not a drill. If an unknown situation arises, it will endanger your life. Please call for help from the supervising instructor immediately, each call for help requires five hundred Mission Points…”
……
“Damn! Requesting help…”
At this moment, Lin Yuan dared not take any chances and hurriedly initiated the distress signal. Fortunately, he had previously acquired 4000 Mission Points, which was sufficient. However, before his distress message could be sent out, a more ferocious force of absorption erupted from afar, directly pulling his entire Mechanical Body into it. His distress message was instantly destroyed, like a nail facing a massive magnet—there was no chance!
For a brief moment, Lin Yuan's entire soul felt blank, and then he heard a loud crash as if he had fallen into some abyss.
His a180 Punisher System went into a complete shutdown state, while the Mechanical Body became utterly unresponsive.
In that instant, Lin Yuan was filled with despair. He could almost foresee his impending fate. Since this was a vast Heavy Iron Magnetism deposit, even if he didn’t die, he would likely be forever trapped here. After all, how could a nail escape from a magnet?
This truly was self-inflicted misery!
He didn't know how long it had been when the process of absorption gradually ceased. Contrary to Lin Yuan's imagination of being crushed into a pulp, it seemed he was steadily suspended in mid-air. The surrounding violent Magnetic Storm also began to calm down until it finally became eerily still.
It was at this miraculous moment that Lin Yuan finally sensed the existence of his Mechanical Body. The a180 Punisher System began to reboot, and even the Auditory Radar fully recovered. However, when his Auditory Radar transmitted the surrounding projected images back to him, he was utterly shocked. (To be continued…)
