Chapter 25: Fierce Battle in the Tomb

The huge explosion shook the entire tomb. Looking at the rubble and dust falling above his head, Chen Xi was not worried about the tomb collapsing, but was worried that Olivia would wake up more Necrons.

He had not yet found out how big this tomb was, but there were fifty undead warriors in this stagnant tomb alone, which made it difficult for Chen Xi not to worry about the danger of this tomb.

After all, if these fifty undead warriors were awakened, he would not be able to stop them with the men he has now.

Neither the Gauss weapons equipped by the enemy nor the regenerating bodies made of living metal can be dealt with by the team of combat nuns under Chen Xi.

If we confront them head-on here, we will only be annihilated.

So even though the Battle Sisters had destroyed two Hell Spiders, Chen Xi still urged Olivia, "Pack up anything you think is important. We're leaving!"

Although judging from the current situation, their actions should not have woken up the Necrons in the tomb, he decided to evacuate in order to avoid any more trouble.

"No! Give me some more time!" Olivia wailed.

The sage was currently lying on the ground in a completely ungraceful manner, staring intently at the sophisticated mechanical structures beneath the blasted floor of the Stasis Tomb, trying to figure out how they had been operating for 60 million years.

But Chen Xi didn't indulge her at all. While asking the battle nun to prepare to retreat, he said coldly: "If you don't retreat, then I will have no choice but to leave you here."

"One hour! Give me another hour! I have asked the robot servants in the mine to come down, they can take away more things!" Olivia no longer cared about many things at this time. She even forcibly controlled the mining robot servants in the mine above through viruses and commands, and asked them to come down and carry everything that could be moved, regardless of whether they were suitable or not.

"I'm afraid it won't be an hour. I'll give you five more minutes at most." Chen Xi urged, and looked at both ends of the passage from time to time, alert to the Necrons that might appear at any time.

"No, there's no way I can clear this place out in five minutes! I'll need at least fifty minutes!" Olivia was bargaining with Chen Xi while using her robotic arm to help her dismantle the things she thought were important.

However, Chen Xi didn't try to stop her, but continued to urge her, "We have to leave. The explosion just now may have activated the tomb's defense system. I don't want to be overwhelmed by countless undead machines!"

"No, no, no! Just give me half an hour, and I can completely dismantle this stasis tomb! With this, I can reproduce this stasis technology! It is even enough to support a forging world! You must help me!" Olivia pleaded like a weeping cuckoo, without any pride of a mechanical sage.

At this moment, Olivia felt like an adventurer who had fallen into a treasure house full of gold but was told that she could only take away one gold coin. The technology contained in this undead tomb was beyond her imagination.

Just this exploded stagnant tomb is enough for her to study for a hundred years, and she can even obtain the title of sage and become a great sage!

If he could obtain the title of Sage and become a Great Sage, he would be able to return to the Casting World and, based on this, take revenge on the Casting Director who exiled him and take back everything he had!

"We don't have half an hour left. We must evacuate now." Although Olivia looked very sympathetic, and Chen Xi also hoped to give her more time to search the place, as the runes on the tomb's stone walls gradually lit up, Chen Xi knew they really had to leave: "The tomb's defense mechanism has been awakened. If we don't leave now, we will all die here!"

As he spoke, Chen Xi reached out and tried to pull Olivia away.

He simply didn't have the luxury of waiting for Olivia to get up and walk. As for waiting for a grease-oil man to abandon the alien technological creation so close to him and stand up and call it a day?

Give up, it's impossible.

At this time, the mechanical servants she summoned also arrived here. They were waving the mining equipment originally used to mine black stone to cut and dismantle the stagnant tomb. It seemed that they really intended to dismantle the entire tomb.

The arrival of these mechanical servants immediately eliminated the possibility of Chen Xi forcibly taking Olivia away.

Seeing this, Chen Xi could only take a step back and said, "Sage Olivia, you have fifteen minutes to dismantle the things you think are important. We can't take everything away! You need to face reality!"

"Twenty minutes! Twenty minutes! This is my last limit!" Olivia shouted loudly, and then promised Chen Xi: "If you can help me buy twenty minutes, I can provide you with the equipment of the Astra Militarum Light Infantry Regiment!"

"One thousand sets of combat nun equipment!" Chen Xi bargained decisively.

"Deal!" Olivia decisively accepted Chen Xi's price.

When Chen Xi heard her decisiveness, he immediately gritted his teeth and still offered a lower price.

However, being able to obtain a thousand sets of Battle Sister equipment was worth the price for him, so he could only say with a hint of resignation: "Twenty minutes, I won't wait a second longer! Also, have your battle servants help with the defense!"

As he spoke, he divided the battle nun team into two groups of five, standing on both sides of the passage to defend against possible enemies.

Olivia didn't say much at this time. She asked the mechanical servants to speed up the dismantling and transportation of various items, and at the same time, she handed over all the combat servants she brought to Chen Xi.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and the defense mechanism of the Undead Tomb also responded to the destructive behavior of Chen Xi and his group. The sneak attack of three tomb ghosts killed a combat nun on the spot, and the combat servants brought by Olivia were completely lost.

This underworld construct, which can phase-travel and move through walls, can launch sneak attacks directly from walls and underground, making it difficult to defend against.

Chen Xi himself was almost hit by a super-dimensional beam cannon. If it weren't for the rose beads activating the shield in time to block the attack, Chen Xi felt that he would have lost at least an arm.

However, after he swung his sword to cut off the tail of a tomb ghost and blew up the head of one with a plasma pistol, Olivia finally completed her work and supported Chen Xi in time, shooting another tomb ghost into the wall.

Watching the grave ghost with its tail cut off being blown up by the bolters of two battle sisters, Chen Xi looked at Olivia and said, "You'd better leave now!"

"Of course, but I suggest taking these two constructs with you." Olivia looked at the two destroyed tomb ghosts and did not miss this little gain.
