Artifact

To be precise, this is a metal man in human form.

It was about three meters tall and human-like, except for its near-perfect lines and strange light source peeking through the cracks in its armor, making it unmistakable that it didn't belong to any kind of creature.

The old general couldn't describe exactly what he saw, but one thing was certain, it was a metal man made of 99 percent steel and machinery.

Some people asked why it was 99 percent? Because with the old general's Yuan Shen Spirit Pupil, he could see through the opponent inside and out at a glance.

It is said that it is 99 percent, and that is because there is a small piece of human tissue "hidden" in the Purple Palace on the chest of this metal "human" body.

Although it is only the size of a palm, there is an extremely terrifying aura in this mass of meat.

To be precise, this is not just breath, it is like a solidified ball of light that forms an entity, tightly wrapped by muscle tissue, and part of the "qi" that escapes from it circulates through this mechanical metal to the whole body.

The old general looked at its face again, and sure enough, as General Xin said, on the temple on the side of the metal man, there was a whole sword mark on the steel skin painted in silver gray, revealing the delicate structure inside from the breach.

However, looking at the appearance of this metal man, he should have dodged General Xin's attack, otherwise this guy's head would have been flattened a long time ago.

Able to dodge the flying sword of a half-step Genshin monk?What is this concept?

The old general was suspicious, his feet were slightly separated, revealing his posture, and before he could attack, he suddenly heard the metal man speak.

This time, what spread out of its electronic synthesizer was actually the official dialect of the Eastern Earth Kingdom two hundred years ago:

"Old man, I can only judge the language by your attire, I advise you not to act rashly, I can see you!".

This sentence sounds peaceful, but it is a threat.

To put it bluntly, this metal man can see the old general in the state of the primordial spirit, and can also dress up through his attire and choose different languages to communicate.

The old general was a little confused, to be honest, this was the first time in his life that he was "seen" by a lump of iron!

However, after all, this thing did not show hostility, and the old general pondered to keep his distance before the other party, after all, it was a man-made thing, and no matter how fast it was, could it be faster than the original god?

Until now, the old general still stubbornly believes that the "sudden appearance" mentioned by General Fang Caixin must be a bluff.

What is the speed of the primordial gods? How can things made by mortals compare to them?

The old general was just about to move, and he listened to the metal man:

"Don't even think about running, you're my prisoner from now on. "

The corners of the old general's mouth rose, he snorted coldly, and disappeared in an instant.

In the middle of the air, the old general appeared, he didn't pay attention to the metal man at all, at this moment he was thinking about solving the night thirteen first, and seizing the nine-turn Xuanshi - in this way, he would win, so that he would not have to give the "Sword Yuan Qiankun Scroll" to General Xin as agreed.

The old man thought so, but he remembered coldly behind his back:

"I told you not to move, didn't you hear?".

To be honest, with the old general's primordial combat power, he had already sensed the word "I" when the metal man opened his mouth, but his surprise at that time surpassed all his senses.

The old general subconsciously turned around and shuttled, he thought about passing through the metal man's body, or even hiding into the metal man's body, so that he could casually destroy the opponent's machinery with his true qi.

But he thought simply, this end was like hitting a wall!

The huge consumption of true qi made the old general suddenly lose control, plummeting, and hovering and braking three feet above the ground.

He was suddenly shocked, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth: "General Xin, this is not an ordinary metal man......! There's weirdness in there!".

At this time, General Xin suddenly lost contact and lost his voice.

The old general couldn't help but become impatient: "General Xin?...... General Xin??!!!...... Damn, you...... You guy, if the old man loses a single hair in his body, I will definitely break your body into thousands !!of pieces."

He was in a hurry, and the strange voice of the metal man sounded behind him: "Yo, it turns out that you are not a spirit, but a monk of Dongtu." "

The old general felt a kind of confusion and fear at the increasingly bizarre state of affairs, and he could not understand why this battle, which was so inevitable and had such a huge disparity in combat power, had evolved into the way it was!

"You...... I can actually hear the old man's voice...... You...... Who the hell is it!?".

The metal man tilted his head and looked at the old general: "I?...... Who am I ......

".

It seemed to be brought into the philosophical myth by this simple question, and suddenly the pair of electric eyes flashed, as if remembering something:

"I belong to the T.X.R. unit (Texas Ranger) of the National Security Agency (NSA), number X0079......".

The old general's brows were mixed together: "What is it?!Damn! There are Mi people everywhere!This is not the place where you have the final say!".

The metal man's answer at this time suddenly lost all emotion, and became completely cold: "My mission is to protect the special officer of the Eastern Earth Country, Night Thirteen ......".

As he spoke, it turned its head to look at the smoke and dust that had dispersed not far away, and Night Thirteen was lying on the ground in a large shape - not "look" to be exact, this should be a rather cutting-edge biological scanning technology:

"Night Thirteen, target confirmed, still alive. "

The old general had had enough, and he roared: "Why did the people of the United States come to save a leek?!".

The metal man tilted his head, as if thinking about something, and then its electronic synthesized sound suddenly turned into a recording of a conversation

It was a man's voice: "I am exercising special authority on behalf of the Lord of the West Asian Dragon Gate. "

This was followed by a mechanical female voice: "What I want to remind you is...... You only have the right to use the right once, and after the release is completed, the ownership of relevant organizations, facilities, materials, and intelligence in West Asia will be completely assigned to us, and the Longmen forces should unconditionally cooperate with the implementation...... Do you confirm that you want to exercise special authority?".

"Confirm!".

"Coming soon to transfer you to the NSA Special Operations Division. Please read this Authority Action Rules to ensure that they are implemented within the legal framework of the United States, and any action involving terrorism, assassination, beheading, or even changing the balance of power in the country and region will be considered inconsistent with ......."

The recording was abruptly cut off at this point, and then the metal man seemed to lose the power - perhaps only for a very short time, and the old generals who were so short that they were in a state of primordial spirit only happened to notice it.

Then, as if restarted, the metal man recovered his original "human tone" from his cold state: "Yo, it turns out that you are not a spirit, but a monk of the Eastern Earth. "

The old general has lost interest in metal men, and he clearly understands that this big iron guy in front of him is not powerful at all, at best he is just an experiment!

But he was furious at the information revealed by the metal man: "Longmen! Sure enough, they are meddling in the shadows! The old man is going to kill all of them, ahhhh!!h

The metal man reverted to his original tone: "Longmen? The order I got was only to protect the important person Night Thirteen, and it has nothing to do with Longmen. However, since you are a monk of the Eastern Soil, then I can let you go in view of the international situation. "

The old general's heart moved, and he immediately glanced at Night Thirteen, who was unconscious on the ground, but before he could move his mind, the metal man said again

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I'm not stupid. "
