The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 964 - 380: Mechanical Chimera Cub_2

"Can’t we just go in directly?"

Confirming that the old man’s head truly had issues, GuaGua gave up scolding and instead played the game of an actor, tilting her head and asking in return.

"No, this device is too valuable. If it’s still absorbing energy and we rashly open it, all my previous efforts will be wasted!"

Xiahou Danxin shook his head frantically, his face full of refusal.

He then took out a small object shaped like a microphone and handed it to GuaGua, sighing:

"Only this can establish a brief connection with the inside."

"But my words are useless, no matter what promises I make or how I entice them, I do not get any feedback."

"I’ll give it a try!"

GuaGua’s interest piqued, she hugged the microphone with both hands, nudged her head forward, and pressed the switch.

Then, taking a light breath, she called out in a clear voice, trying hard to shout:

"Little——Xiaoqi!"

"We’ve come to take you home! Hurry and drag out Xiaolan!"

As soon as the sound fell, GuaGua immediately shut up and listened attentively.

Ye Hanjun, Ye Liuying, and Xiahou Danxin also held their breath and concentrated, seriously capturing any unusual sounds.

However——there was nothing.

The world inside the central chamber seemed empty, devoid of any living creatures.

"Old man, you’re not imagining things, are you?"

"Xiaolan, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoxiong have been killed by you long ago!"

"Because you’re so desperate for success, your subconscious keeps brainwashing itself and refuses to face reality, so have you gone mad?"

The look of eager anticipation on GuaGua’s face——slowly faded.

She puffed up her cheeks, her enlarged eyes resembling two highly explosive grenades ready to burst.

"Impossible! Absolutely not!"

Xiahou Danxin stumbled back dozens of steps, until his back hit the corner of a table with a crackling sound, still with a lost and miserable expression, very stubbornly saying:

"I’ve only been doing hands-on experiments for a few hundred years; the time is indeed a bit short."

"But for this experiment, I’ve always been learning, not only using the knowledge I’ve accumulated over my lifetime but also designing a one-of-a-kind ultimate engine, how could it possibly fail..."

"Bang!!"

As he spoke, the central chamber door opened.

A huge snake head poked out, looking left and right, and after spotting Ye Hanjun, its eyes widened in skepticism.

When another sheep head squeezed out as well, locking eyes on GuaGua, it frantically kicked its hind legs, running backward madly as it emerged from within.

"Hoo——lur——hoo——lur——"

Its breath like thunder, snoring noises erupted.

An extremely majestic lion head lay flat on the ground without any dignity, its face deformed from being dragged, yet it showed no sign of waking up.

"What did I tell you? It had already awakened!"

Xiahou Danxin, who was initially disheartened, was like one who had taken the All-Round Supplement Elixir, suddenly springing to his feet and howling excitedly:

"Look! Quick, look! A completely new life form has emerged!"

"A pure, complete mechanical body, of course, holds extravagant value and unique charm!"

"But based on the noble Savage Beast Blood, with additional mechanical enhancements, not only does it bolster combat strength, but it also retains the traits of flesh-and-blood creatures. I am truly a genius! Those academic seniors who once looked down on me will surely regret it until they turn green with envy!"

Xiahou Danxin, like a gorilla gone mad, ahh ahh ahh, beat his chest and ahh ahh ahh, spewed fresh blood.

GuaGua couldn’t pay attention to him anymore; after being rammed and sent flying by the ram’s head, it immediately used "Super Light Speed" to dart back, then rode on the ram’s head, beaming with joy:

"Great! Little Lazy, Xiaoqi, and Xiaoxiong are all fine!"

"Big Tadpole, you’ve changed so much in appearance and rank, even She Xiaoxiong is afraid to recognize you!"

"Oh dear, Little Lazy Lion, really, how can you still be sleeping at a time like this. We’ve been searching everywhere for you, and we’ve gone to great lengths to rescue you, and in the end, you’re sound asleep in someone else’s house, how careless you are!"

GuaGua hugged one of the ram’s horns, whooshing down in a slide.

It then hopped onto Lion Head’s head, jumping, rolling, and tumbling about, but the latter didn’t move at all and did not want to bother.

"Xiaoqi, push it!"

"Xiaoxiong, bite it, bite it! Wake it up!!"

At GuaGua’s command, the ram’s head understood and with a push of its hind legs, it hit Lion Head’s belly precisely.

She Xiaoxiong hesitated for a moment, then sniffed Ye Hanjun, even sticking out its tongue to taste him, and after confirming without a doubt, it finally let out its ferocity. With a suicidal ferocity, it bit onto Lion Head’s helmet, looking as if it wanted to swallow his head whole.

"Roar..."

"Roar, roar..."

The Lion Head, with closed eyes, was eventually startled and forced to raise its paw to scratch.

After a few minutes of struggling, unable to block the continuous assault from the snake and the ram, those sleepy eyes weakly opened.

"Roar..."

"Roar??"

With its head lowered and legs closed together, Lion Head showed a human-like expression of bewilderment.

After another ten or so seconds, it snapped out of its half-dazed and simple-minded state, and the sparkle of awakening gradually mixed with a strand of amazement.

"What’s the matter! Did you enjoy good food and drink so much outside that you forgot about us?!"

GuaGua, not even as big as one hundredth of Lion Head’s eyeball, stood with hands on hips, full of bluster.

"Baa..."

The ram’s head stopped picking on Lion Head, guiltily lifted its head to look at the sky, not daring to look down.

"Hiss... Hiss!!"

She Xiaoxiong wasn’t afraid of GuaGua, ignoring it as if it was just a breeze by its ear.

It turned its head, staring at the Mechanical Gazelle King, the Mechanical Scarecrow, and the Ace Wrench, ready to battle, as ferocious as in its heyday.

"Praise Mechanic God Mountain!"

Xiahou Danxin fell to his knees with a thud, kissing the ram’s feet repeatedly, tears streaming down his face:

"Double Seal Fusion! I have realized the legendary Double Seal Fusion!"

"Using ’Savage’ as the innate foundation, and ’Mechanism’ as the acquired enhancement, such a combination is truly a miracle of life!"
