Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 716, the second treasure chest, the mercenary's plea for help.

As he mentioned earlier, the outer city area of ​​this site is vast, making it quite difficult to find a single building.

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face.

He didn't know if it was because of his high luck factor.

Overall, the results were still good.

"Come on, let's go in."

After saying that, Cao Xing led the group closer to the building.

"Rumble..."

The heavy metal door was pushed open by Bloom once again.

The group entered the building one after another.

The scene here is similar to the previous building, with metal walls and floors engraved with magical runes.

In addition, there were rows of glowing instruments in the corner.

The difference is that in the center of the hall, there is a five or six-meter-tall, dark blue figure.

Its metallic body gleamed with a cold blue light in the dim light, and its oval shape exuded a sense of heaviness.

However, compared to the previous units that were converted into friendly units by Tong Chuchu, the rounded shape of the [AUX-1] golem makes it look more aggressive!
Its hands resemble two giant hooks, which can lock onto enemies at any time during battle.

Furthermore, each grappling hook is equipped with a cannon in the center.

What's most unique is its leg area, where two devices resembling metal cannon barrels are also made.

Cao Xing's gaze fell on the strangely shaped golem, and an attribute panel immediately appeared.

[Golem: BAT-9929]

[Level: Level 70]

Durability: 3300000/3300000

[Attack power: 31325~31325]

Armor: 2250~2250

[Skills: Energy Beam, Iron Fist Impact, Gravity Suppression, Repair Protocol]

[Special Skill: Self-Destruction]

...

...

Compared to the [AUX-1] golem, this [BAT-9929] golem is of a higher level and has stronger attributes.

Cracks appeared on the thick metal shell, indicating that it had been through many battles.

Similarly, each of the Elephants is equipped with a self-destruct ability.

Once the health points drop to a certain level, the self-destruct program will be activated.

Cao Xing, as always, waved his hand and said, "Little Chuchu, go ahead."

"Okay, big brother!"

Tong Chuchu responded crisply, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

The next moment, she controlled the Earth Dragon Mech, along with the Golem: AUX-1, and approached the Golem together.

"Om..."

The dormant golem immediately sensed something, and its energy channels glowed red.

It instantly locked onto Tong Chuchu, who was approaching, and emitted the same mechanical synthesized voice.

"Intruder detected... break-in..."

"Initiating counterattack procedures..."

The golem bounced off the ground in an extremely bizarre manner.

A blue beam of light emanated from the energy core in his chest, sweeping across Tong Chuchu and the other demonic elephant.

When the blue beam of light scanned the golem [AUX-1 type], it seemed to trigger some kind of recognition program.

"Golem...Guardian..." came the synthesized mechanical voice.

The golem seemed very strange, but it quickly realized something was wrong.

"No...it's the enemy..."

At this moment, the energy veins on the golem began to flash between red and blue, as if its core program was undergoing a fierce conflict.

Upon hearing this, the golem [AUX-1] next to Tong Chuchu trembled.

However, it quickly regained its composure and spoke in a mechanical, synthesized voice, "I am not... a guardian..."

"I have... a new master..."

However, this statement also confirmed something for the golem in front of it.

"You are a traitor...you must be...eliminated..."

The next moment, all the energy channels in its body turned red, and it raised its hands high, entering attack mode.

Then, the golem charged at us on its own.

"Boom... Boom..."

The steel legs swiftly stepped out, causing the metal building to vibrate continuously.

The distance between the two sides is also constantly closing.

The Elephant didn't charge towards the Earth Dragon Mech, but instead charged towards the Elephant AUX-1.

Compared to Tong Chuchu, it seems to want to eliminate the traitor first.

However, just as the two sides were about to meet.

Tong Chuchu controlled the demonic elephant and the earth dragon mech, launching an attack simultaneously.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two energy cannons fired simultaneously, both striking the demonic elephant.

【-619254! 】

【-twenty four】

...

Two damage numbers appeared, and the golem was blasted back several steps, its durability dropping significantly.

Tong Chuchu pressed her advantage, continuing to control the Earth Dragon Mech and the Demon Elephant, launching a frenzied attack on the enemy.

"Bang! Boom!"

Energy cannon fire and metal chainsaws relentlessly bombarded the opponent, causing its durability to plummet.

After just two encounters, the golem that had brought nightmares to many adventurer teams had its durability reduced to zero.

"The machine is damaged... initiating self-destruct sequence..."

The golem lay on the ground, its energy core flashing red light continuously.

A destructive wave emanated from it, like a furnace about to explode!
The expressions on everyone's faces hardened slightly.

They knew the golem was about to self-destruct.

Just then, blue mechanical power burst forth from Tong Chuchu's hand.

A dazzling arc of electricity erupted from her palm, which she then pressed against the core of the golem on the ground.

"Buzz-!"

At this moment, the golem's body began to tremble violently.

Like the [AUX-1] golem, its internal defense system is frantically resisting the erosion of mechanical force.

However, it is clear that this struggle is in vain.

Less than five seconds later, the destructive energy emanating from the golem abruptly ceased.

The red light on its body receded like the tide, and a blue light began to emerge.

Then, a system notification appeared.

[Your territory member: Tong Chuchu used [Mechanical Domination], successfully converting a special mechanical creature [Golem: BAT9929], territory population +5...]
...

...

"Not bad, another level 70 golem."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I've only been in this ruin for less than two days and I've already acquired two golems, a jar, and some other miscellaneous materials."

"This time the harvest was quite good."

Cao Xing was very satisfied with what he had gained from the trip.

Then, he turned around and ordered, "Alright, according to the old rules, collect everything that can be collected from this building."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then they all began to take action.

At the same time, Cao Xing looked at the golem in front of him and asked, "Tell me, where is the loot box in this ruin?"

Based on past experience, almost every building that has not been entered by adventurers contains a treasure chest containing loot.

However, Cao Xing looked around but couldn't find any box anywhere.

At the same time, the golem's chest glowed, and it slowly replied, "Master... the loot chest is hidden underground..."

"Permissions are required to open this..."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Then what are we waiting for? Get the boxes up here!"

The golem paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes... Master..."

The next moment, as it responded, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground.

"Rumble..."

At the same time, the black floor in the center of the hall slowly slid away, revealing a hidden compartment.

A completely black metal box, about one meter tall, then rose up.

A string of scrolling numbers appeared on the box.

Clearly, this box, like the previous one, also requires a password to open.

Cao Xing asked directly, "What's the password?"

Upon hearing this question, the golem's core began to rotate, then replied, "You need to activate the instrument, following the sequence..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Xing interrupted him directly: "I don't have time to activate any instruments, just tell me the password."

After a brief silence, the energy channels on the golem's body emitted a strong light once again.

"Initiating low-level programming... attempting to crack the password..."

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the energy fluctuations on the golem gradually subsided.

"Crack successful... Password obtained..."

It turned back to Cao Xing, its mechanical eyes flashing blue light.

"Master... the password is 8832... 124..."

The golem also gave a sixteen-digit password.

Tong Chuchu was already waiting beside the loot box.

Upon hearing the password, her slender fingers flew across the keypad, and she typed it in the blink of an eye.

"Click..." The lid of the loot box slowly opened.

"It's on, big brother!" she said excitedly, turning her head.

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, "Great job, Little Chu Chu."

He walked over quickly and, as usual, put everything from the box into his backpack.

[Obtained: 174 Strange Metals]

[Obtained: Master-level Energy Crystal *7]

[Received: Ancient Wooden Plank (Orange) *45]

[Received: 32 Derry Iron Steel Ingots (Orange)]

……

Compared to the loot box opened last time, there is a special ancient weapon.

There are only some materials in this box.

However, there are many more of them than the previous box.

Overall, the results were still quite good.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and looked around again.

Check if there's anything I've missed.

A few minutes later.

Others have already searched every corner of the entire building.

They all handed over their spoils to Cao Xing.

[Obtained: 21524 Strange Metal Fragments]

[Obtained: 56 Strange Metals]

[Obtained: Damaged Mechanical Core]

[Obtained: Expert-grade Energy Crystal *14]

……

The harvest was also quite fruitful.

Cao Xing clapped his hands, and after carefully checking the surroundings to make sure nothing was missed, he concluded.

He then ordered, "Let's go, let's go out and continue exploring."

After saying that, he flipped over and jumped onto Big White's back.

He led the group out of the building.

However, compared to when everyone entered, there was now a tall golem in the group.

This newly added [BAT-9929] is half a body taller than the other golems, and its heavy metal body vibrates rhythmically as it moves.

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

There were five or six enormous figures in the group, their heavy footsteps echoing as they walked.

And so they advanced for dozens of kilometers across this vast land.

The broken ruins are faintly visible in the thick fog, with a few broken stone pillars standing alone occasionally.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

However, Cao Xing's good luck doesn't seem to be working anymore.

For the next three hours, they encountered no buildings, not even a single jar.

All around were endless wilderness and ever-growing fog.

"What's going on? We really can't touch anything?" Cao Xing asked with a puzzled look.

Upon seeing this, Lord Oran quickly said, "Lord Cao Xing, this is normal."

"This site is just too large."

"Many adventure groups may explore here for a month and still not find a complete building."

"Not to mention someone like you, who has reaped such a bountiful harvest in just two days..."

The Lord of Oran's tone revealed intense envy.

At this moment, he changed the subject and lowered his voice, saying, "Lord Cao Xing, after we go out this time, do you have any plans to sell one of the golems you have?"

He looked at the two golems beside Tong Chuchu with a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "If you are willing to sell, I think His Majesty the King will be willing to pay a high price to acquire them."

"They'll even offer you precious fragments of divine power, as well as treasures from other kingdoms, in exchange!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes gradually lit up.

For him, this is a stage where he needs a lot of resources.

Whether it's crowns or various materials, it all requires an astronomical figure.

Of course, what's most lacking is the fragment of divine power.

After all... Liu Muxue and Isabel are already close to level 150.

As long as there are enough [Divine Power Fragments], they will be able to attempt to break through to the demigod realm.

In fact, Cao Xing still has several Blood Cores, which can quickly allow his legendary subordinates to reach level 150.

However, the Blood Core will grant additional attributes when used at max level.

In addition, he didn't have enough [Divine Power Fragments], so he decided to wait until they reached level 150 before making any moves.

Although it is unknown how many fragments of divine power the Ice Crystal King possesses.

However, Cao Xing would be happy to exchange the golem for fragments of divine power.

He could even send out a few more Elephant-like machines.

At that time, it won't just be a deal with the Ice Crystal King.

He can also trade with Queen Yulan, King Graymist, and others.

These forces would likely all be interested in these golems.

The prerequisite is that he has enough golems.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing replied, "We'll see."

"I'm still not sure if this golem can be handed over to anyone other than me."

The Lord of Oran City nodded knowingly and did not ask any further questions.

Then, the group continued walking forward.

After walking two or three kilometers, Sarah seemed to notice something unusual and immediately became alert.

Other strong players on the field also sensed something.

All eyes turned to the same area.

Several figures gradually appeared in a dense fog.

Their leather armor looked damaged, and they appeared exhausted.

Cao Xing was somewhat familiar with these people.

They were the same mercenaries they had encountered in that adventurer camp.

They had previously tried to invite Cao Xing to explore the ruins together, but he declined.
The mercenaries also noticed Cao Xing and his group.

Seemingly having discovered something surprising, they quickened their pace to approach.

The middle-aged man greeted them with a beaming smile: "Gentlemen, we meet again."

However, his smile seemed somewhat stiff, his fingers were trembling slightly, and drops of blood were flowing out.

Cao Xing frowned slightly and asked, "Were you following us?"

His tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Sarah, hidden in the shadows, had already locked onto all these adventurers.

With just a command from Cao Xing, these people would be turned into cold corpses within a fraction of a second.

The adventurers on the field also felt it; a venomous killing intent coiled around their necks.

Their faces turned deathly pale instantly, and sweat beaded on their foreheads, showing how tense they were!
"It's a misunderstanding, sir! It's a misunderstanding!"

The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand, his voice trembling: "Even if we were incredibly bold, we wouldn't dare follow you!"

He explained quickly, "We just happened to be exploring this area when we heard some noises coming from the ground, so we came over to check it out."

"I never expected it to be your team, sir."

"So we came over to say hello to the adults..."

Cao Xing observed the appearance of these people.

Faced with his gaze, these mercenaries would instinctively lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
The atmosphere immediately became extremely tense.

The mercenaries were afraid that if Cao Xing got angry, he would send someone to wipe them all out!

After all, this is inside the ruins; no one would care if you died here.

After observing for a moment, Cao Xing withdrew his gaze.

The truth was not as the middle-aged man described, but he did not investigate further.

"The greetings have been given, you can leave now."

He waved his hand, effectively telling them to leave.

At that moment, a look of struggle appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

The decision was made in an instant.

He forced a fawning smile onto his face again: "My lord, do you remember what I told you before, that our commander was exploring a large structure in the ruins?"

Cao Xing nodded slightly: "I remember, why?"

"That building is actually nearby..."

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "Our commander is already inside."

"I wonder...would you be interested in exploring this, sir?"

"If you'd like, I can show you the way..."

These words drew the attention of Bai Zhi, Lord Oran, and the others to the middle-aged man.

Cao Xing had previously told them that there was something wrong with this person's invitation, that the place might contain some danger, or even be some kind of trap!

Now, he has made the same request again, which confirms Cao Xing's guess.

Stared at by so many powerful figures, the middle-aged man's back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

He forced a smile, even his calves were trembling slightly.

After a moment of silence, Cao Xing smiled.

"I'm not interested. You can explore it yourselves."

After saying that, he gently patted Big White's back.

With a flick of its trunk, the mammoth carried Cao Xing away.

At this point, the middle-aged man still seemed unwilling to give up.

He hurriedly stepped forward, his voice tinged with urgency: "Sir... are you really not considering exploring that ruin with our commander? It's..."
