I have a city in another world

Chapter 7003 Dangerous Area
At this moment, Tang Zhen felt as if he were in an empty place.

The rules of the secret realm could not restrict him; he could go wherever he wanted.

Those who made the rules are now following him, but they dare not speak out against it.

After sealing the divine remains, he directly stored them in the rule-breaking artifact and refined and absorbed them in the enclosed space.

The built-in space of the rule-breaking artifact has a higher level of security than storage equipment. Unless it is a god-level being, it is impossible to detect or break it.

By placing items inside, you have absolute security and don't need to worry about loss or theft.

At least in this human realm, no one can forcibly plunder it.

Amidst the explorers' reluctant gazes, Tang Zhen entered the passage and continued forward.

Upon seeing this, the explorers all followed.

Even if Tang Zhen actively tries to stop them, they will try every means to follow him and obtain first-hand intelligence information.

Now that it hasn't been stopped, we can't afford to miss this opportunity.

The appearance of the giant hand monster caused considerable casualties, but it did not stop the explorers from following.

However, this fierce battle drew the attention of all major exploration organizations, who immediately reported all the battle information.

They also demanded that the strongest experts be dispatched and that assistance be provided as quickly as possible.
The appearance of divine remains in the secret realm is a major event that must be taken very seriously.

Not to mention that at this moment, uninvited guests have intruded into the secret realm, and they are helpless against them.

We urgently need strong assistance to bring the situation under control as soon as possible.

According to the explorers' analysis, once this gate is opened, they have entered a key area of ​​the secret realm.

In the coming period, more divine remains may appear, and they must not all be obtained by outsiders.

The divine remains that Tang Zhen took away must be taken back. What belongs to them should not be taken away by others.

Behind this door lies an area never before explored, where every rune is worth studying by adventurers.

Under normal circumstances, explorers would definitely study the information carefully and would not miss any details.

But at this moment, the explorer had no interest in studying the records; instead, he followed closely behind Olivia.

While passing through some areas, they also found some traces, which are likely some hidden secret rooms.

These locations should be documented so that the various organizations can continue their investigations once this matter has passed.

Each secret chamber is a treasure trove, and there's no reason not to miss it.

As for how to allocate them, that will need to be discussed later.

As we moved forward, we could see puppets from time to time, but most of them were destroyed.

Judging from the damage, it was likely destroyed by a giant hand monster in the past.

The monsters' infighting saved the explorers a lot of trouble; otherwise, they would have had to carry out a thorough cleanup.

The quality of these mechanical puppets is higher than that of the areas previously explored, indicating that the creators are of a higher level of skill.

More and more evidence is proving one thing: they are in a high-level area.

Although it's not the core of the secret realm, it's not too far away either.

With various thoughts in mind, the explorers followed along, passing through several branching paths.

Those tall, deep passages lead to unknown destinations, and without maps or clues, careful exploration is necessary to determine their location.

Even experienced explorers couldn't determine the exact route, but Olivia, walking ahead, had a remarkably decisive and clear path.

This raises the question of whether Olivia knew about the secret realm before entering it.

Some explorers even suspect that Olivia may be possessed and controlled, with a hidden soul from a secret realm residing within her.

Only with sufficient knowledge of the secret realm can one successfully open the passage gate and determine the accurate route without needing to distinguish between different paths.

If that's the case, then we must be extra careful, because in their eyes, these explorers are all illegal intruders.

The leaders of the organization secretly discussed and shared this possibility, and further observation is needed.

After traveling some distance, runes flashed on both sides of the passage, followed by a series of rapid beeping sounds.

"Oh no, we've triggered the alarm!"

The leader of an expedition group, looking extremely grim, reminded the group in a low voice.

Once the alarm sounds, the defense mechanism will be triggered, and a fierce battle will likely be unavoidable.

The thought had barely formed when he saw many small doors open in the passageways on both sides, and hordes of spherical mechanical puppets rushed out.

The same was true at the top of the passage, where many holes appeared, from which spider-like puppets kept crawling out.

Among various defensive items, mechanical golems offer the best value for money. Some mechanical golems in secret realms can still function normally after hundreds of thousands of years.

Some monks' tombs have mechanical puppets placed inside to prevent tomb raiders from entering.

The mechanical puppets crowding the passageway sent a chill down the explorers' spines; a single glance was enough to tell they were high-level puppets. "Defend! Dodge!"

As the roars rang out, the explorers and the mechanical puppets clashed once again.

The spherical golems launched the first attack, rolling forward as they charged. Suddenly, several cracks appeared on their surfaces, from which dense clusters of short metal needles shot out.

The sharp, piercing sound of the short needle cutting through the air, accompanied by a ghostly blue sheen, clearly indicated the presence of a deadly metallic toxin.

Only this type of toxin is not afraid of the erosion of time.

Several explorers quickly raised their shields, and a series of clanging sounds rang out as the shields were instantly covered with short needles.

A slightly slower explorer was grazed on the arm by a short needle and immediately felt numbness and weakness in his entire arm, nearly dropping his weapon.

In the blink of an eye, the wound had become festering and oozing pus, with blisters spreading outwards.

"Be careful, this toxin is extremely potent!"

He loudly warned his companions while quickly retreating, taking out an antidote from his pocket and gulping it down.

Even so, his face was still black, and he kept spitting out mouthfuls of black blood and pus.

At the same time, the spider golem at the top also launched an attack.

They nimbly crawl along the top of the tunnel, constantly spraying a sticky white web from their abdomens, from which one cannot escape once touched.

The seemingly simple tactic is extremely effective at trapping the enemy.

A net covered the head of an explorer, who immediately struggled to breathe and frantically tore at the tough threads.

In just a few seconds, it was wrapped in more silk netting and turned into a large cocoon shaped like a human.

"Burn it with fire!"

Another explorer shouted, waving his staff, and a ball of fire landed on the silk net.

But it had no effect whatsoever, like grilling metal.

Upon seeing this, the Wrathful Flame Wizard sneered, "A mere trick!"

He formed a mudra with his hands, chanted incantations, and then pushed forward.

A wall of blazing fire appeared out of nowhere, advancing forward and engulfing the spherical golem in front of it.

The high temperature caused the metal surface to quickly turn red and deform, and several spherical puppets exploded, scattering scorching fragments everywhere.

More puppets poured out of the hidden door, seemingly endless, and surged toward the explorers.

This wave of spider golems no longer sprayed webs, but instead shot out corrosive liquid from their mouths.

The liquid fell onto the stone wall, immediately emitting white smoke and leaving deep erosion marks.

An explorer was unable to dodge in time, and his armor was splashed with liquid, causing the metal surface to corrode and turn black rapidly.

He acted decisively, tearing off the damaged armor piece and throwing it on the ground. Within seconds, the piece was corroded into nothing but rubble.

However, his body was still touched by a liquid, and then began to corrode from the inside out.

Even after cutting away the flesh with a knife, a large hole still rotted away.

"We can't just play defensively! We must find the control core and destroy it as quickly as possible!"

A leader gave instructions in a loud voice while constantly observing the surrounding environment.

The protected exploration experts began to carefully observe the puppet's behavior patterns, trying to find a flaw.

They noticed that the rolling trajectories of all the spherical golems followed a certain pattern, while the spider golems' attacks were synchronized with the rhythm of the flashing runes on the wall.

"The runes on the wall! They're providing the golem with energy and commands!"

A female mage suddenly shouted and unleashed a Disintegration Ray at a dense area of ​​runes on the wall.

Wherever the ray passed, the runes' light dimmed noticeably, and correspondingly, the movements of some spherical golems became sluggish.

"Worked! Attack the runes on the wall!"

Upon seeing this, the leaders immediately adjusted their tactics.

The explorers turned their attacks towards the runes on the walls.

Fireballs, ice spikes, and energy shocks rained down on the densely packed runes, causing them to flash intensely before extinguishing one by one.

As the runes were destroyed, the mechanical golem's movements became noticeably chaotic.

Some spherical golems lost their bearings and collided with each other, while the spider golems also crawled haphazardly along the walls.

"Now, clean them up!"

The explorers seized the opportunity to fight back, striking the sluggish puppets one by one, the sounds of shattering metal and explosions echoing through the passage.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, accompanied by a loud bang, a huge head emerged from the end of the passage.
