Chapter 58: Mysterious Prisoner
During the training at Tiangong Station No. 7, Gao Fei gained proficiency in various vehicles.
He also received the bonus profession "Strange Mechanic".
He was no novice in constructs such as the Hell Chariot.
After checking inside and out, it was confirmed that the "Pioneer" was severely impacted at the moment of falling, with multiple cracks in the armor and one track broken.
Fortunately, the core power unit of the chariot was intact.
Gao Fei put on the "Mage Mask" and took three "Complete Repair Spells" in succession to the chariot. The cracks in the armor disappeared and the tracks were instantly repaired.
He tried to start the engine, and the engine rumbled.
Nodding with satisfaction, Gao Fei sat in the driver's seat, connected the star disk with the operating port, and extracted the data of the chariot.
Soon, rows of information streams were input into the star disk and appeared on the screen.
The Hell Chariot "Pioneer", challenge level 16, is a giant semi-intelligent construct.
The armor of the chariot is equivalent to level 30 natural defense, which is similar to the heavy tanks on Blue Star.
In addition, the armor enhanced by enchantment has a 15/fine gold damage reduction effect.
The attributes of the "Pioneer" are: Strength 40, Agility 16, Constitution -, Intelligence 2, Perception 10, Charisma 10.
Two points of intelligence are the level of a pet dog.
In the absence of a driver, the chariot can also automatically perform simple combat tasks.
Constructs with intelligence can learn combat skills.
The "Pioneer" has three specialties, "Agile Movement", "Powerful Attack" and "Mastery of Ramming".
The melee weapon of the chariot is the protruding ramming horn at the front of the chariot.
At full speed, it is easy to knock down a two-meter-thick stone wall.
For targets smaller than giant, the chariot can directly crush them.
Those who fail to dodge will be crushed by the chariot weighing hundreds of tons and will become meat patties under the tracks.
The "Pioneer" has two power furnaces.
The main power furnace burns magic crystals to obtain energy for the normal driving of the chariot.
Consuming one pound of magic crystals can provide 10,000 kilometers of off-road driving.
The auxiliary power furnace is very abnormal, and it actually uses the essence of the flesh and blood of demons as energy.
The way to obtain energy is also very crude.
Directly stuff the corpse of the demon into the meat grinder, grind it, filter it, extract the plasma, and inject it into the auxiliary fuel tank through the catheter.
The essence squeezed out of the flesh and blood of demons of different ranks has different energy densities.
The energy density of the flesh and blood of low-level demons is too low, and it can only be used to drive low-end hell chariots.
High-end luxury cars such as the "Pioneer" are more delicate, and at least the essence of the flesh and blood of mid-level demons can be poured into its auxiliary fuel tank.
The fuel tank can hold up to 18 standard units of demon essence.
The standard unit here is calculated according to the mid-level demon.
If the flesh and blood of high-level demons are used instead, the number of units of fuel converted will be higher, and the probability of failure will be lower.
Yes, the main engine that burns magic crystals is very safe and generally will not fail.
Once the auxiliary engine is activated and starts burning demon essence, it is possible to cause a fire accident because the chaotic impurities in the demon flesh are difficult to filter out.
So, wouldn't it be better to disable the auxiliary engine?
Unfortunately, the benefits of the auxiliary engine are so great that occasional failures are not so unbearable.
The "Vanguard" only uses the main engine, and even under the best road conditions, the speed cannot exceed 100 miles per hour.
Start the secondary engine and burn a unit of demon essence, and the speed can be doubled in a short time, reaching 200 miles per hour!
This is the "demon blood acceleration" mode of the Hell Chariot.
The two special weapons carried by the "Vanguard" also need to consume demon essence to start.
...
Hellfire Cannon: Consumes 1 unit of demon essence, maximum range 1200 feet, 30 feet radius spread explosion, and causes 10d6 (10~60) fire damage and 5d6 (5~30) acid damage; additional "ignite" and "poison" special effects.
Sonic Crusher: Consumes 2 units of demon essence, spreads in a 120-foot cone, causes 20d6 (20-120) thunder damage to all targets within the range, doubles damage to fragile objects; adds "deafness" and "knockback" special effects.
…
Gao Fei tried to drive the "Vanguard" and slowly drove out of the woods.
After getting familiar with the operation, he switched to automatic driving mode and let the chariot gallop on the flat wasteland by the river, all the way north.
Gao Fei sat in the driver's seat, turned on the music player that came with the star disk, listened to music and took a ride while checking the spoils looted from the devils.
Three whisker demons, there were not many good things on them, only some one-inch square black crystals.
Gao Fei identified it and learned that this was the so-called "disaster coin", the soul currency circulated in the lower plane.
Anzumo carried a storage bag with him.
Gao Fei took out an account book, a pile of disaster coins, a magic monocle that can be used three times a day to cast the "Eagle Eye Technique", and a skin peeled off the back of a demon from his bag.
Gao Fei took the yellowed leather and examined it carefully, and was surprised to find a map drawn on it!
The most conspicuous red thick line on the map, zigzagging and running north and south, is clearly the Styx!
On both sides of the Styx, large and small geometric symbols represent large towns, fortresses and resource collection points, all of which are marked with place names in Purgatory language.
Gao Fei's destination, the neutral city of Mofu Town on the shore of Molten Iron Lake, was also marked on this map.
"With this map, you don't have to worry about getting lost."
Gao Fei put away the map, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
He stepped on the accelerator, and the exhaust pipe of the "Pioneer" sprayed flames, roaring forward.
The wheels rolled, the engine roared, and the smoke and dust rose behind him.
...
The endless wasteland was filled with the stench of burning tar.
The sandstorm roared in, covering the sky and the sun, plunging the wasteland into temporary darkness.
The wind was as sharp as a knife, and travelers without protection would even have their skin and flesh cut off.
On the left bank of the Styx, a caravan was rushing in the wind.
The four black horses pulling the car looked ordinary at first glance.
A closer look would reveal that they were taller and stronger than ordinary horses.
The horses' hooves stepped on the flames, black smoke spewed from their mouths and noses, and their dark red eyes flashed with a ferocious luster.
It was four nightmare horses!
Sitting at the driver's seat of the caravan was a Cyclops.
This giant with bow legs was three meters tall in the upper body alone. He wore a khaki leather vest, and his muscular arms were thicker than an adult's waist!
The Cyclops held the reins in his left hand, and his right arm was cut off at the wrist. A rusty iron lizard flower was transplanted on his right wrist instead of his palm, and it moved miraculously.
