Chapter 56
Translator: Fan Editor: Darling
Ye Zan had seen that these two Bronze Terracotta Soldiers had not been damaged from early on; naturally, he would not be ambushed . However, from a technical sense, those grenades had not gone to waste . Though it did no noticeable damage to their armor, the symbols on the Bronze Terracotta Soldiers seemed to dim .
Even without precise calculations, you could tell that Ye Zan’s explosives had an eighty percent chance of breaking the symbol’s protective barriers . However, Ye Zan didn’t wish to destroy such valuable resources . Rather, he wanted to capture them whole, especially after seeing their demonstration of Sword Flashes .
Facing the incoming Bronze Terracotta Soldiers, Ye Zan calmly raised his arms and shot out a dart from his armor . With two explosive “Ping”s, two silver nets shot out, moving to cover the two Puppets . These nets were made of the same high-durability nanomaterial as the spider’s webs; their lines stronger and thicker .
Before, when sparring with them, Ye Zan had already received all the statistics he needed on their strength . By calculation, it would be impossible for them to escape the bonds of these nets .
However, these two Bronze Terracotta Soldiers were much more developed in intelligence in contrast with their wooded counterparts . Seeing the incoming nets, they simultaneously raised their swords, sending out two Swords Flashes .
Although the Sword Flashes were sharp, they were still not enough to break the nets . However, the force of the attacks were enough to block the nets, sending them off in another direction . Thus, the Bronze Terracotta Soldiers were able to avoid capture, moving quickly to attack Ye Zan . One at front and one at back, their twin swords mercilessly crashed towards Ye Zan .
“(´இ皿இ｀) They’re pretty smart!” Ye Zan cursed, moving to avoid the coming blow . Turning his body, he sent a punch, blocking the second blade .
After avoiding the attacks, Ye Zan rushed between them, facing their chests . Speeding up his armor, he used the back of the plating to crash into them . With a “Kang”, the Bronze Terracota Soldier was knocked some hundred meters, landing to a tumble on the ground .
There, two Mechanical Spiders stood waiting, spewing two webs onto them . The Bronze Terracotta Soldiers were unable to use their Swords Flashes in time, becoming trapped in the nets . If they didn’t struggle, perhaps they would have a chance at escape . However, their intelligence was noticeably too low for such decisions .
Actually, you couldn’t blame their intelligence for this predicament . Even an average person would find it hard to keep calm when covered with a net . These Bronze Terracotta Soldiers began wrestling as soon as they had been covered . Quickly, they were entangled, like they had tried to tie themselves up .

On the other side, after that Bronze Terracotta Soldiers had been knocked out, another had directed an attack at Ye Zan, forcing its sword to his neck . Ye Zan caught this attack with his hands . With a kick, he knocked the Soldier’s sword-bearing arm . However, Bronze Terracotta Soldiers didn’t have the physical weakness of humans . Even though Ye Zan had exerted a lot of force with this kick, he was still unable to knock off the symbols protecting the Puppet .
However, while kicking the Bronze Terracotta Soldier, Ye Zan had averted his palms . Using a simple martial arts technique, he was able to remove the sword from the grasp of his opponent . The sword fell on the ground, its body warped and twisted . On it, you could see imprints left from Ye Zan’s palms . The material was not of good quality .
After taking the sword, Ye Zan quickly stepped back . At this time, two Mechanical Spiders swept in, having quietly been waiting for this moment . After Ye Zan retreated, two webs flew at the Bronze Terracotta Soldier . Yet, another one had been captured .
Ye Zan had finished with his two opponents . However, there were still two sparring with the Mechanical Spiders not far away . In a short amount of time, the two Bronze Terracotta Soldiers had already destroyed twenty-some Mechanical Spiders .
Of course, with the addition of Ye Zan, these remaining two were also quickly captured, laying in endless protest . Ye Zan wasn’t so concerned with the demolition of the Mechanical Soldiers . He needed only to pick up the broken parts and put them back together . It wouldn’t take much time .

But, after capturing the four Bronze Terracotta Soldiers, Ye Zan faced another problem . They were captured, yes . But how would he conduct tests on them in the future? He couldn’t do research through the nets . Plus, the Puppets didn’t have brains . He couldn’t insert disks and control them from there .
Furthermore, from his lack of knowledge concerning these mechanics, Ye Zan was unable to dismember the core of the Bronze Terracotta Soldiers . If he tried doing it forcibly, he ran the risk of destroying them . That was too wasteful .
Thinking, Ye Zan decided to keep it for now . If this was a research facility for Mechanical Puppets, then there should be evidence from the former Realm Master .
Thus, Ye Zan ordered the mechanical spiders to add a couple of nets to the four Bronze Terracotta Soldiers; preventing any chance of escape . They were then lifted again by the robots into the dimension .
The area was quickly cleared . No matter if it was Mechanical Puppet parts or mechanical spiders, anything of value was taken . Reorganizing his group, Ye Zan walked across the area with two mechanical spiders before him . They arrived before a palace-like structure on the opposite side of the field .
This palace wasn’t grand . It had the air of a courtroom set as a temple . However, there was an area within it that had a preserved structure . Ye Zan could tell that there was something valuable in it .

The door to the main wing was still tightly shut . Two mechanical spiders, one on each side, slowly opened the door . Looking within the wing, there were no statues set up for worship . On the contrary, there were carelessly thrown tools, with some random Mechanical Puppet parts . It looked to be the former site of a workshop .
Everything in the wing was covered with a heavy coat of dust . Who knew how long it had been since someone had come in here? Those Mechanical Puppets probably did not have spiritual defenses on them . No matter if they were metal or wooden, they were all already rotting, without any use . Solely because of the movement of the slight crack of the door, there were some shelves that collapsed . Following this was a chain of crashes . The entire wing was brought up in a storm of dust .
Waiting for the dust to fall, Ye Zan took off his armor and strode into the wing . But, taking a walk around, he did not find anything of value . Apart from a box left in the corner, there were only a couple deplenished beast Cores .
“I’ve miscalculated . Let’s go look somewhere else . ” Ye Zan looked around him, helplessly shaking his head, taking the mechanical spiders with him to the other wing .
Quickly, Ye Zan turned to another room in the wing . From the windowless frame, he could tell that it should be an office . However, this time, Ye Zan did not recklessly open the door . There were probably important resources here . He couldn’t risk destroying them like he did in the main wing .
Standing outside of the office, Ye Zan brushed his chin . Suddenly, his eyes lit up . He had an idea .
