Please be my partner.

The mechanical area has an overwhelming mechanical army and pervasive surveillance. When all of these are controlled by the same will, the power they can unleash is beyond imagination.

Although it would be a wonderful scene to lure the Underworld Spider into the mechanical area and watch the two forces fight to the death, but...

Mellen must have registered with the core intelligent computer in the mechanical area by now, and he will probably be hunted down to death as soon as he enters.

The highly toxic area is adjacent to the mechanical area, and the Hades Spider has most likely dealt with the latter before. However, there are no Hades Spiders in the mechanical area at all, and the result is obvious.

Mellen is not a wise man, nor does he treat others as fools, so this idea just flashes through his mind, and he will not carry it out, so as not to make things worse.

Although Yin Re was somewhat reluctant to enter the ocean area, after listening to Mellen's brief description of the mechanical area, he realized that they had no choice now.

So the two of them went directly into the ocean area.

“Gurgle gurgle!~”

As soon as he entered the sea, Yin Re took several gulps of sea water, and a series of bubbles came out.

Yin Re was speechless as he looked at his feathers that sometimes fluttered and sometimes stuck to his body with the flow of water.

It is quite a novel experience to think that a giant eagle soaring in the sky is swimming at this time.

Melen had previously told them that there might be deep-sea monsters in the depths of the ocean, so they would not move towards the depths of the ocean where something was obviously wrong, but would just move forward in parallel.

After entering the ocean area, Melen and the others could clearly feel that all the previous surveillance had disappeared, perhaps because spiders were not good at swimming.

The two of them moved quickly in the ocean. Occasionally, some marine life attacked them, but they were easily dealt with.

This trip was not as smooth as Mellen's previous solo trip.

When they were about halfway there, they were suddenly struck by a feeling as if they were ants being stared at by a dragon, causing them to freeze in place and unable to move.

Glancing at the deep sea below from the corner of my eye, I saw a glowing valley that had appeared at the very depths. This valley extended to the end of my sight, as if it was going to span the entire ocean.

Then, an even more horrifying scene occurred to Mellen and the others. The deep valley slowly opened to both sides, revealing an even brighter light within.

This is actually an eye!

An eye so huge that it seemed to occupy the entire ocean!!

Melen had thought that the deep-sea monsters would be very powerful, but he had never expected them to be this powerful.

Not to mention the aura that vaguely exceeds the legendary limit and partially touches the realm of saints, the unimaginably huge size alone is enough to make people terrified.

Since he came to explore the Broken Land, Melen naturally considered the worst-case scenario. If he really encountered a life-and-death crisis, he would use the three soul synchronizations without hesitation and deliver a saint's attack. This would cause the Broken Land to collapse and trigger the arrival of the rule tide in advance.

Although there are many dangers in the tide of rules and you will be drawn into the endless void, there is always a glimmer of hope and it is not a situation where you are bound to die.

As for whether doing so would put Vic and the others in danger?

In fact, before setting off, after Vic's little test, everyone had already understood each other tacitly. Who doesn't have some saintly skills?!

Fortunately, the situation did not develop in the worst direction. The giant eye of the deep sea slowly stopped after opening a gap. There was a faint light rotating in it, as if observing the outside world. After a moment, the giant eye slowly closed and disappeared.

In Mellen's opinion, this situation is somewhat similar to when someone is half asleep and half awake, squinting his eyes to observe the sky outside, and finds that it is not yet time to go to work, so he continues to sleep.

Next, Melen and Yin Re became much more careful. They tried their best to avoid marine life and would only take action when they really couldn't avoid it.

This time we finally arrived at the area junction safely.

In front are two areas, blood-red and yellow. The blood-red area is naturally where Spike is fighting a bloody battle, while the yellow area seems to contain the power of the earth.

Melen thought about it and pointed to the earth area. Yin Re shrugged and said it didn't matter, as long as they could leave the ocean area as soon as possible.

The reason why he didn't go to the bloody area was that Melen didn't want to disturb Spike.

The bloody area is indeed a treasure land for Spike to level up. Through the contract, Melen can feel that Spike's strength is rapidly improving all the time. For this reason, Melen also needs to continuously infuse the spiritual energy in the wolf-shaped pendant to replenish Spike.

Fortunately, Melen had accumulated a lot before, and coupled with the hunting of the netherworld spiders in the highly toxic area, it would be no problem even if Spike squandered it.

I believe it won’t be long before Mellen will have a brand new Spike.

With this beautiful vision, Melen and Yinre entered the earth area.

As soon as they entered, they felt their bodies sink. The gravity in the earth area was much higher than that in the outside world, at least three times more than normal.

This kind of gravity is nothing to a legend, because they have begun to come into contact with the laws. The physical strength of a legendary strongman will be nourished by the overall laws and improved in all aspects. Even the fragile internal organs will become tough.

But this is not possible for those below the Legend level, unless they are of some special extraordinary professions or races. Otherwise, they have fragile internal organs as a burden, and if there is a slightly drastic change in gravity, they will need to use extraordinary power to protect themselves at all times, and their own strength will be greatly limited.

Yin Re spread his wings and flew into the sky. Naturally, he didn't care about the gravity. After a slight exploration, he flew back.

Yin Re said, "As you can see, all you can see is a desolate, sandy landscape. There are faint mountain outlines in the distance, but they're not very distinct. There's also flying sand in the sky. The higher you fly, the bigger the sand gets. I just tried it, and it became difficult to fly above 5,000 meters. Even if I hadn't been injured, I'd have a hard time flying above 6,000 meters. So far, no signs of indigenous life have been found."

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "Let's go and see if there's anything special about this area of the earth."

The two began to move forward, Melen walked on the ground and Yin Re flew low in front.

As he was walking, Melen suddenly felt a slight vibration coming from the ground. He immediately focused his attention and became alert, but soon realized something and shouted, "Be careful, Yin Re, they are going after you!"

When the vibration occurred, Yin Re naturally noticed it. He knew that he was flying at an altitude of a thousand meters, so he focused most of his attention on Melen. It was only after hearing Melen's shout that he realized something was wrong.

"Boom!~"

A stone monster made of rock, shaped like an earthworm, with layers of serrated fangs on its head, a body about a hundred meters in diameter and an unknown length of several kilometers, suddenly soared into the sky and bit Yin Re who was flying in the sky.

It's hard to imagine how such a huge creature could move on the ground and cause so little noise.

The earthworm stone monster jumped out of the ground extremely quickly and arrived in front of Yin Re almost instantly.

Fortunately, Yin Re had received a reminder from Melen in advance, and he was also fast, so he avoided the attack at the critical moment.

The earthworm monster failed to hit the target and fell back to the ground, but it did not fall down as Melen imagined, but instead it only raised a little dust like a fish entering the water.

Immediately afterwards, more slight vibrations came from underground, and then various stone monsters appeared from the ground. Some of them were stone men, and some were stone beasts. Their sizes varied. The smaller ones were similar to normal humans, and the larger ones were even larger than the earthworm stone monster that attacked Yin Re.

Chapter 273 Garuru: A good meal!

"What a warm 'welcome'!"

After muttering to himself, Mellen entered the second soul synchronization state, as usual, it was a combination of Garuru and Golden Retriever.

The battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning. The stone monsters looked like puppets without their own will and did not know what fear was. Even the death of their companions would not stop them from charging.

With his tough physique, Mellen rushed left and right among the stone monsters and attacked without hesitation. The latter could not cause any harm to him at all.

When Yin Re was flying in the air, naturally some stone monsters with flying ability came looking for him. However, since most of the stone monsters' attention was attracted by Melen, it was easy for him to deal with them.

The enemy cannot break through the defense, but we can kill the enemy. The outcome of this battle was determined from the beginning.

After about ten minutes, thousands of stone monsters were killed by Melen and Yin Re.

Yin Re glanced at the remaining distance and said, "It looks like we'll have to fight our way through this vast area."

Mellen nodded casually, looking for something on the ground.

Yin Re asked curiously, "Why, did you find anything?"

"Some..." Mellen's eyes lit up when he was halfway through his words, and he quickly took out a thumb-sized stone from the stone monster's body.

Yin Re leaned over and said in surprise, "This stone seems to contain the power of the earth's laws."

Melen nodded happily and said, "That's right, I didn't expect that there was such a good thing in the stone monster's body."

Items containing rules are extremely valuable. One of the most common uses for them is to make them into extraordinary items above the legendary level. Some extraordinary professions or special abilities can also absorb the rules in the corresponding items to improve themselves.

For example, Xinke's Eye of Truth requires a large number of items containing rules to cultivate.

In addition, Spike can also speed up career construction by observing the rule items related to the four elements and extracting the corresponding basic imprints from them.

Mellen quickly cleaned up the battlefield. They killed a total of three or four thousand stone monsters, and in the end they only got ten stones containing the laws of the earth. The largest of them was as big as an adult's fist, and the smallest was only the size of a thumb.

Moreover, this search yielded another piece of surprising news for him.

These stone monsters appear to be made of stone, but in fact, they contain a variety of rare minerals.

The power of the earth is naturally suitable for nurturing various minerals, and the earth power in the earth area is so rich, doesn't it mean...

Thinking of this, Melen said directly to Garuru: "Dig!"

The mechanical dog also vaguely sensed something, and after receiving the order, it immediately transformed into a huge mechanical drill and drilled into the ground. At the same time, some smaller mechanical giant wolves could be seen transforming into drills and heading in different directions.

In just a moment, Mellen felt Garuru's excitement through the contract, and the mechanical dog discovered a huge continuous vein of minerals underground.

Garuru had naturally never been treated unfairly since following Mellen, but considering the demand for metal by the mechanical giant structure, Garuru had only had two "full meals" to be honest.

The first time was in the Blue-Blue Realm. At that time, Garuru had just evolved into a mechanical giant structure, and they spent a long time digging various mineral veins in the ocean.

The second time was in the Abyss World. At that time, with the help of the three demon lords, Garuru was barely able to eat half full.

And today, Garuru is about to have the third 'big meal' in his dog life!

Sensing Garuru's impatience, Melen immediately ordered: "Eat! Eat hard!!"

Garuru cheered and began to devour various minerals underground.

According to Garuru, compared to the Blue and Green Realm and the Abyss World, the Earth region not only has a richer variety of minerals, but also higher quality, and the quantity is countless.

While Garuru was feasting, Melen fell into deep thought and now he had to make a decision.

When Garuru had just evolved into a mechanical giant, the dimension in its body had not yet fully developed, so it only swallowed about one million tons of extraordinary minerals at that time.

Today, the dimension within Garuru's body has undergone iterative evolution, and its capacity has increased by more than ten times. Filling it up will not be possible in a short period of time.

This means that Mellen can either stay in the Earth area and wait until Garuru finishes eating, or, like Spike, leave Garuru alone in the Earth area and set off first.

As for preventing Garuru from swallowing the minerals and leaving directly?

This option never appeared!

Are you kidding me? Do you know how expensive extraordinary minerals are? Tens of millions of tons of extraordinary minerals represent an astronomical figure!

If the opening time of the Broken Land was not limited, and if there was not the threat of the Underworld Spiders behind him, Melen would have wanted to directly develop the Fairy Tale Kingdom in the earth area and start the mining business on the spot!

However, leaving Garuru behind means that the Saint's trump card cannot be used, which makes Mellen lose the possibility of escaping from the desperate situation.

But to be honest, the impact is not that great.

The five dogs that Mellen currently has contracts with are... Spike, Little Red Lotus, Garuru, Little Liuli, and Golden Retriever.

Among them, Xiao Honglian has the lowest presence during battle.

It's not that Xiao Honglian is unwilling to fight, but perhaps because she thinks she lost her master once, coupled with her childhood experiences, Xiao Honglian is unwilling to leave Mellen at all times. This is completely different from Spike's idea of "as long as I kill all enemies, I can protect the boy."

After understanding Xiao Honglian's intentions, Melen naturally would not force it. Over time, the little guy became Melen's full-time personal bodyguard, the kind who would not go out unless necessary.

However, this does not mean that Xiao Honglian is weak. On the contrary, at present, Xiao Honglian is the strongest among the five dogs, and because of the nature of his power, his ability to survive is also the strongest.

With the combination of Little Red Lotus and Golden Hair's secondary soul synchronization, it is basically enough for Melen to protect himself.

As for Xiao Liuli?

It is still in its cute state.

Melen thought for a moment and asked Yin Re, "Yin Re, how much do you know about saints? What level was the super-giant sea monster we encountered in the ocean earlier?"

"A Saint!" Yin Re sighed, then said, "That's an existence that completely transcends the realm of legend!"

"Laws are the extension and manifestation of rules. Legends can access and utilize laws, while Sages master and change them."

"A Saint can add his own will to the laws, and use it to temper himself and build a Saint's body. He can also pry the rules and form a Saint's territory."

"My clan's saintly ancestor once said that if we use the word 'status' to describe a legend, it ultimately only represents an individual, while a saint, in terms of status, can rival the world."

"As for the sea monster we encountered earlier, it must have undergone some transformation over the course of countless years, reaching an unimaginably large size. It now possesses some of the power of a saint. We're certainly no match for it if we really fight it, but escaping should be no problem."

After listening to Yin Re's brief narration, Melen had a clearer concept of legends and saints, and became more eager to go to the academy to study.

Looking at the big hole on the ground, Melen told Garuru his decision and told it to eat its fill.

When Garuru felt that his master wanted to keep him for a while, he hesitated for a moment, but then he became determined and used all his strength. The large area of extraordinary mineral veins around him immediately turned into large amounts of metal energy and poured into his body.

Melen withdrew his gaze, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's go."

Yin Re hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to leave your pet here?"

Mellen nodded and said, "This is a rare promotion for Garuru."

Yin Re asked, "What about those stone monsters? Can your pet handle them?"

Melen said: "Don't worry, Garuru is a metal life form and will be regarded as a fellow species by the stone monsters. As long as you don't actively attack the stone monsters, the stone monsters will not target it."

This has been confirmed in the previous battle. At that time, Melen summoned the mechanical giant wolves to help in the battle. Before the mechanical giant wolves launched an attack, the stone monsters turned a blind eye to them, as if these stone monsters would only actively attack flesh and blood creatures.

The two continued to move forward, not knowing whether these stone monsters had divided the territory. Every time they advanced a certain distance, they would attract a group of stone monsters to attack them. Fortunately, they also got regular stones as a reward.

Yin Re originally didn't want the rule stones as trophies, but Melen didn't agree. In the end, Yin Re took 20% and the remaining 80% went into Melen's pocket.
