Original God, if I am beaten by them, I will become stronger

After all, this is not pure Durin's flesh and blood, nor is it a pure mechanical body, but the product of the flesh and blood of the magic dragon combined with machinery. Of course, the energy required for this monster to move would be quite exaggerated. For this reason, the doctor cloned more than ten hearts for it.

Each heart is equipped with a mechanical device to increase operating efficiency and energy supply, just like a powerful elemental force furnace that keeps running.

There are five hearts in total, including the original heart in Du Lin's body, but Lin Qiu and the doctor had just blasted one of them.

Lin Qiu could vaguely see that there were light red stripes on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, which kept floating towards Mechanical Durin. This was probably the energy provided by the three hearts on the snow mountain, forming a similar connection channel and transmitting it to Durin.

It is precisely because of the combination of machinery and flesh, plus the three hearts, that Mechanical Durin can have such a huge body.

Lin Qiu hopes that Captain Qin can get things done faster.

The mechanical dragon's flying speed is not very fast, so Lin Qiu can slow down to save magic power and slowly follow behind it.

Perhaps it had discovered the existence of a tracker, but unlike the mechanical Osel, the magic dragon's mission was to spread rather than fight, so it did not notice Lin Qiu's existence.

Lin Qiu slowed down and followed behind Mechanical Durin, trying to find the weakness of the mechanical flying dragon and break through it.

So far, this guy has only been flying. Although he has left the range of the snow-capped mountains, he did not fly towards Mondstadt, but flew further and further away. Lin Qiu tried to observe it instead of stopping it immediately because it did not fly towards the crowd gathering.

If it flew towards where a crowd of people gathered, Lin Qiu would not waste time observing it, but would directly find a way to shoot it down.

The mechanical dragon suddenly slowed down the flapping speed of its wings, slowing down the entire machine. If it were not for the several thrusters installed on its wings, it would have most likely fallen to the ground. After all, this body was too huge and heavy.

There was a small woods not far from where it slowed down, and several wild boars could be vaguely seen running in the woods.

Suddenly, a huge machine exhaled towards the forest, and a large amount of red energy rushed towards the trees and wild boars. After the exhalation, the forest completely changed its appearance.

The forest, originally made of plant fibers, was actually covered with a large amount of metal. However, Lin Qiu knew very well that these trees were alive, but they were forcibly transformed into another form.

Lin Qiu understood: The doctor placed the Heart of the Rock God into this guy's body!

The concepts of metal and rock elements are similar, which is why Mechanical Durin can assimilate living organisms.

As long as the Heart of the Rock God is taken out, the battle will be over!

Unlike the mechanized plants, a large number of wild boars ran out of the woods. Their fangs had turned into retractable and ejectable ramming horns, their bodies were covered with mechanical patterns and gears, and their eyes emitted a scarlet light, as if they were about to fire lasers at the next moment.

Mechanical Dulin made a strange sound, as if commanding the wild boars. The mechanical wild boars that were originally running around accepted the order and began to run in one direction in unison.

Towards Mondstadt!

The mechanical dragon also flapped its wings rapidly, and its thrusters operated more vigorously, flying quickly towards Mondstadt.

It probably realized that there were many flesh and blood creatures in Mondstadt, and according to the program injected into it by the doctor, these flesh and blood creatures needed to be assimilated.

Before Durin could fly a few meters, a fire meteor fell behind it - Lin Qiu sprayed magic power at the back of the mechanical dragon, aiming at the location of its heart.

Before colliding head-on with the dragon, Lin Qiu simply twisted his belt to transform, while putting on snake bone armor to increase his strength, and aimed his sharp claws at the target's back.

His idea was very simple and direct. He wanted to tear open the mechanical armor on the surface of the dragon, pull out the Heart of the Rock God inside, and stop it from continuing to wreak havoc on Teyvat.

Chapter 153 New Uses of Snake Bones (6k)

Perhaps it was the effect of the Heart of the Rock God, or perhaps it was because after injecting a large amount of energy, the mechanical armor became extremely hard.

Lin Qiu originally wanted to tear open the skin and internal structure like a drill, rush into the body of the mechanical dragon, and pull out its heart of god.

However, even with snake bones draped over his body and his hands covered with sharp claws, he still couldn't drill through the mechanical dragon's back in one go. He could only dig out large pieces of armor.

With the speed and strength of the demon Lin Qiu, if he is given another three seconds, he can still successfully dig to the core part and stop this technological monster from assimilating Teyvat, but three seconds is not so easy to gain.

After all, the mechanical dragon’s primary mission is to ensure its own survival and at the same time assimilate the continent of Teyvat into a mechanical world.

Lin Qiu's violent behavior obviously affected its survival. The signal of the removal of the back armor was transmitted to the whole body, and the mechanical dragon responded immediately.

At the moment when Lin Qiu tore open the armor on its back like tearing foam, dozens of turret-like structures instantly ejected from the empty space on the mechanical dragon's back. These devices were specifically designed to prevent any creatures from climbing onto the dragon's back and attacking it.

The muzzles of these defensive weapons were all aimed at Lin Qiu, and energy similar to the previous breath poured out from the muzzles, and the red light was targeting Lin Qiu.

If it were a normal physical attack, Lin Qiu might use the defensive power of the snake bones and his own ability to recover health at a high speed to continue to dismantle the mechanical dragon.

However, the beast's instinct told him that these rays were not ordinary attacks. Moreover, he had also seen the scene where Mechanical Durin's breath assimilated the forest.

So Lin Qiu jumped to avoid it, and at the same time released the snake bone armor to summon the killing gun, ready to aim at the torn part and throw it swiftly.

Unexpectedly, the defensive guns were very sensitive, like an immune system that eliminates invaders. After one round of salvos failed, they quickly adjusted their direction and launched a second round of salvos.

The demon-like Lin Qiu could only give up throwing treasures temporarily, and adjust his posture in the air to avoid the volleys and fall back on the dragon's back. He now changed his plan and decided to destroy these troublesome defense devices first, and then destroy them along the dragon's back.

At this moment, Lin Qiu suddenly realized something. When he was dodging the volley of gunfire, he was unable to dodge a laser and his right arm holding the gun was hit.

He looked at his right arm and found that the surface had turned into the metal texture of the Ruins Guard - this was the effect of the blessing of the Heart of the Rock God. Even Lin Qiu's current physique could not completely resist the assimilation of Mechanical Durin.

Even so, if it were any other creature, it would probably have mechanized even its internal parts, but Lin Qiu's current mechanization was only on the surface.

However, he could feel the mechanical material on the surface of his skin trying to expand, just like a colony that could quickly invade the material it was attached to.

He thought quickly: It would take a lot of time to remove the surface, so why not...

Lin Qiu didn't think twice and threw the killing gun with all his strength, aiming at one of the turrets on the dragon's back.

There are six more artillery batteries behind that artillery battery, which means that this missile can penetrate and destroy seven artillery batteries in one go, and the aftermath can also interfere with their subsequent salvos.

Of course, this is not the main purpose of Linqiu.

Along with the devastating throw, a sonic boom burst out on the back of the dragon. At the same time, Lin Qiu's entire arm could not bear the burden of the overload throw, and it exploded and scattered instantly, and the mechanical body attached to the surface of the arm also scattered.

The next moment, the restored Yin-Yang magic runes took effect immediately, and the demon Lin Qiu's arm regenerated quickly like a lizard, and there was no mechanical surface on the newly regenerated arm.

This was the offensive and defensive plan he came up with in an instant. While removing the dirt attached to his arms, he also dealt a high-powered blow to the turret on the dragon's back.

The moment his arm recovered, the high-speed gun hit the first turret on its path, smashing it into dust, followed by the second turret behind it, the third, the fourth...

Boom! ! !

After piercing six turrets in succession, this swift attack was directed at the seventh turret. The black and red magic power accumulated in it exploded completely, destroying the turret while also leaving spider-web-like cracks on the surrounding mechanical structures.

The powerful impact caused the huge modified mechanical Durin to tremble all over. It was originally flying straight towards Mondstadt, but its speed slowed down a little. Lin Qiu standing on the dragon's back could feel some bumps.

Very good, keep going like this!

Although Durin cannot be stopped in a short period of time, as long as we can slow down its approach to Mondstadt and slowly drag it down, we will be able to gain the advantage and win once Captain Qin and the others have destroyed all of Durin's extracorporeal hearts in the snowy mountains.

As for the wild boars that Mechanical Durin had just assimilated, Lin Qiu really didn't have the time to stop them, so he could only leave it to the Mond people to deal with it themselves.

……

This side of Mondstadt.

Although it was already midnight, at the request of Captain Jean, the Knights of Favonius had been on high alert during this period. Because of this, when the portal opened, they would be able to react immediately and cover the entire Mondstadt with vigilance.

Soon, the knights surrounded the scene to prevent residents from coming to watch the excitement, but they did not approach the cemetery, after all, the suction was still continuing.

Not long after, the portal closed automatically because the negative emotions of the Mond residents in Durin that the Doctor needed to activate had been almost collected.

The dragon has already started.

The knights cautiously approached the scene to investigate. Ganyu and the Traveler, who were awakened by the noise, and Hu Tao in the next room, all came to the scene to check out the situation out of curiosity.

Finally, they found Lin Qiu through the portal, and through the note that Lin Qiu had thrown in before, they roughly understood the cause of the incident.

"Although Lin Qiu told us not to get close to the portal, it's closed now and there's no way to get in..." The traveler said helplessly, "So what should we do now? Wait for them to finish?"

The knight next to him also read the note and said worriedly: "The acting leader and the great hero have been sucked away. What should we do in Mondstadt?"

"Do you look down on me, an honorary knight?" The traveler said with his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes.

The knight quickly apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I almost forgot about the honorary knight!"

The traveler was joking with the knight, but Ganyu felt something was wrong. She felt that it was impossible for the doctor to be so easy to be defeated by Lin Qiu who entered the portal.

Although she still trusted Lin Qiu's strength and wisdom, the problem was that the doctor had caused quite a stir in Liyue last time.

Based on Liyue's experience, Ganyu couldn't tell what tricks the Doctor would play, and she thought now was not the time to let down her guard.

Suddenly, Amber rushed into the cemetery and said, "Something bad has happened. Everyone, please leave a few people to guard the cemetery, and the rest of you should gather near the city wall."

Although no one knew what was going on, seeing how nervous Amber was, and she was the only scout knight in Mond, everyone followed her footsteps and headed towards the city gate.

On the way, Amber explained the cause of the incident to everyone: "More than ten minutes ago, there seemed to be an avalanche over there on the snowy mountain, and then a huge monster flew out of the snowy mountain. This is not the point. The point is that a bunch of strange creatures are rushing towards Mondstadt!"

When they arrived at the city gate, it had been closed by the knights. They climbed up the city wall and, as expected, saw many unknown creatures running towards them.

Although it was already late at night and the distance was quite far, the knights with better vision and Ganyu, who had Kirin blood, could clearly see the images of these creatures because they were glowing.

They are wild boars, but they are larger than the wild boars people know. They seem to be made of rusty metal and gears. Their eyes are like two high-beam headlights, and their raised backs also flash with light similar to the eyes of the ruins guards.

That was the modified heart of the wild boars, transformed into a structure similar to an elemental force furnace, which brought them energy and physical strength far superior to that of ordinary creatures.

There are now dozens of these monsters, and they are charging towards the city gate with a clear goal.

There was no mention of such a thing in the letter that Lin Qiu sent through the portal. The group of wild boars charging towards Mondstadt simply stunned the knights.

The first to react were the travelers: "Stop them, there's something wrong with these wild boars!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ganyu drew her bow and arrow, aiming at the mechanical boars that were moving as fast as motorcycles hundreds of meters away. Then she released the bowstring and started shooting.

The splitting frost arrows shot towards the wild boar and scattered in all directions. If it were an ordinary creature, it would have been shot into a sieve by the ice cones that exploded like shotgun bullets. However, their structure was not weak flesh and blood, but the highest crystal developed by the doctor with the help of the Heart of the Rock God.

The wild boars hit by the ice cones only staggered and their forward speed slowed down, but the damage they suffered was not great. After a few seconds, their speed returned to their original state, as if they were going to use this momentum to smash the city gate.

"How could this happen!" a young Knight of Favonius exclaimed, "Can't we stop these monsters?!"

After all, being able to block Ganyu's arrows and remain unscathed means he is at least at the level of the Rockhelm King. Even if the knights don't know Ganyu's specific strength, they can see that the power of an ice cone flying hundreds of meters must be terrifying.

The defense of these wild boars is so strong that the knights' swords are definitely unable to break through their defenses. They are charging so fast that, in a sense, it is equivalent to dozens of Rock Helmets Kings rushing towards the city gate together. Thinking of this, a sense of oppression comes over me.

At this moment, two arrows of fire element were shot from the city wall, drawing a graceful arc in the sky in the dark night. Finally, one of the arrows accurately hit the wild boar running in the front. The melting reaction caused by ice and fire instantly made the arrow pierce into the head of the mechanical wild boar.

"Don't panic, these monsters are not unstoppable." The female knight who tried to boost morale was Amber, who could always face any crisis with optimism. She was the one who shot the rocket.

The next moment, Amber fell silent, because the wild boar with an arrow piercing its head was still charging recklessly. If it were an ordinary creature, with its head pierced by the dual elements of ice and fire, it would have lost its ability to move long ago.

Despite this, Amber was still optimistic and said, "Look, the wild boar has become shaky, which means they are not invincible!"

While the scout knight was boosting morale, the traveler was thinking, and finally she came to the conclusion: the acting captain was not here at the moment, and Kaeya was not seen on the city wall. In this case, Mondstadt needed someone to command in the crisis.

So the blonde girl raised her voice and shouted to the knights on the city wall: "Everyone, everyone, look at me, look at me, everyone, follow my command, the knights who are good at bows and crossbows shoot on the city wall, and the rest of the knights go down to reinforce the city gate."

The words of the Knight of Honor were still very convincing. The bewildered knights immediately followed the traveler's call and began to take action to resist the invading mechanical monsters.

Ying continued to think: Diluk seems to have gone to Liyue recently to discuss the cooperation between Mondstadt Wine and Liyue Wine Shop, so the night elf hero can't be relied on.

At the same time, a man's voice came from the side: "How spectacular! This kind of thing is charging towards the city. With Mond's current defense, it is difficult to deal with it!"

The traveler turned around and saw that it was Kaia.

Ying asked, "Kaiya, you are the cavalry captain, right? How many horses are there in Mondstadt now?"

Kaiya shook his head and said, "Not many. After all, when the Grand Master went on the expedition, most of the horses in the city were taken away by him."

Ying thought for a moment and said, "Although these wild boars run fast, you must be more familiar with the terrain of the city than them. You lead the cavalry to defend the city gate. If the wild boars really break through the city gate, lead them to an area with fewer people."

"I see, Miss Honorary Knight who is acting as the leader," Kaia teased.

"What a difficult nickname." Ying said.

“Is it hard to pronounce? I remember your great hero, whose title is longer.” Kaeya thought for a moment and repeated, “Former Inazuma Minister, great hero, and guardian of Liyue Harbor…”

"Too many - where did you see all this?" interrupted the traveler.

Kaiya replied, "Yaedou's magazine."

Originally, Kaeya was able to chat leisurely because he felt that Mondstadt's defenses were not so weak. Even if the wild boar was as good as the Rockhelm King, it would not be able to capture this historic city in a few strokes. Moreover, the wild boar's level was still debatable.

But the following scene made Kaia's expression become serious.

This group of wild boars seemed to be just the vanguard. Behind them, a large number of other mechanized creatures formed a large force and charged forward. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"It's time to pray to the God of Wind..." Even at this moment, Kaia did not forget to make a joke.

"By the way, let's pray to Lin Qiu as well." Ying continued.

……

This side of Linqiu.

He, who has transformed into a demon, has been fighting with Mechanical Durin for a long time, but he has not felt that the power of this giant has weakened. In other words, Barbara and the others on the snowy mountain have not been able to pierce Durin's spare heart for the time being.

During the fight between the two sides, the highly contagious breath sprayed by Durin once again affected nearby animals, monsters, and all kinds of unfortunate creatures.

Fortunately, due to Lin Qiu's deliberate influence and interference, no one has been caught in the breath.

Normally, Mechanical Durin would follow the Doctor's program, fly to Mondstadt himself and launch an attack on the assimilated creatures, but Lin Qiu's constant attempts to destroy it caused it to mainly target Lin Qiu, attempting to destroy or throw him off.

At the same time, Durin sent a signal to the mechanized creatures, asking them to attack Mondstadt first.
