Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

The smoke from the Dune battlefield has not yet completely dissipated, and the air is filled with the pungent smell of embers, dust and molten metal.

Ling Feng retracted Ten Directions Annihilation, and glanced at the mecha wreckage and the bodies of the Vulture members on the ground. He said calmly: "The noise is too loud, and the nearby Annihilation Beasts will be attracted soon. We have to leave as soon as possible."

"Well, clean up the battlefield and we'll leave immediately."

As the leader, Lant immediately issued an order, "Ron, check the damage to the armored vehicle; Night Owl, retrieve the communication records of the Blood Crow communicator; everyone else, collect the spoils and evacuate in five minutes!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Everyone immediately split up and after this battle, the Howling Wind Adventure Group truly became a team.

As Brian cleaned up the spoils, he couldn't help but stare at the giant mechas. He kicked the remains of the Ash Titan at his feet and said, "The equipment of these guys is valuable, but it's a pity that I can't take it away."

After all, he was the adopted son of the old watchmaker Hector. Although he failed to become an excellent mechanic like his adoptive father, he still had some vision.

"Don't be greedy."

Ron checked the damage to the armored vehicle with a painful expression on his face. "The radar is completely destroyed and the front armor plate is melted through. If it drags on, we will have to walk to the relay station."

Huang Shaotian squatted beside the body of a Vulture member and took out a syringe with a dark red solution still inside. He whistled, "Is this the blood-burning factor they mentioned just now?"

"Overdrawing life to exchange for combat power, typical desperado style."

Finally, they came to the White Rose's territory. The girl immediately stepped forward and said, "This type of blood-burning factor has great side effects, but it can burst out more than three times the potential in an instant. If Chen Hu hadn't killed their leader in an instant and completely crushed their faith, we wouldn't have won so easily."

As she spoke, she collected the remaining blood-burning factors again. "Even the lowest-grade blood-burning factors are expensive. I might be able to try to improve them and develop a model without side effects."

At the same time, Night Owl successfully hacked into the Vulture Leader's communicator and retrieved their contact records with Steel Heart.

"Sure enough, it was Steelheart who hired them."

Night Owl sneered, "Hausen Wilson. Captain of the Steel Heart Team of Judgment Academy, beginner of the Truth Class. Who would have thought that the mastermind behind this is actually that guy."

"Hausen?"

Lant clenched his fists. He thought it was just a personal grudge between them and Ent, but he didn't expect it to escalate to the entire Steel Heart Team.

"This is trouble."

Li Wei gnashed her teeth. "Although they are both at the Truth Level, Hausen's strength is far superior to that of the Blood Crow. And behind the Steel Heart Squad is the support of the entire Judgment Academy. They have the best equipment and the most advanced technical support. If they target us, I'm afraid..."

"The feud has already been formed, who cares who it is!"

Huang Shaotian snorted coldly, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! If they dare to provoke us, these dead bodies on the ground will be their fate!"

"hey-hey!"

Night Owl grinned and said, "Look what good stuff I found!"

He picked up the wreckage of a destroyed floater, ran his fingertips across the surface, and data streams instantly poured into his neural interface.

Everyone stared at him, and Night Owl narrowed his eyes and said proudly: "No wonder he couldn't detect their life breath before, it turns out that they actually have the military's latest model of spirit particle shielding sensor. Now, they belong to us!"

As he spoke, he transmitted the data to the central control system of their armored vehicle.

"Now, even those guys from Steel Heart won't be able to monitor our location anymore."

"Well done!"

Ling Feng patted Night Owl's shoulder and looked across the distant horizon, where the growl of the Annihilation Beast could be heard faintly. "It seems we have to get to the Xuanwu Relay Station as soon as possible."

Lan Te nodded: "Everyone get in the car! Target Xuanwu Relay Station, full speed ahead!"

The armored vehicle restarted. Although the front cover was damaged, the core power system was still intact.

Ron stepped on the accelerator, and the armored vehicle rushed out of the sand dune area like an arrow and sped towards the Xuanwu relay station.

……

An hour later, a huge hemispherical metal fortress emerged on the horizon.

This is the Xuanwu Relay Station.

From a distance, it looked like a giant mechanical egg embedded in the wasteland, its surface covered with a honeycomb-shaped blue force field shield that kept the embers and dust out.

Light patterns like data streams flowed on the surface of the shield, flickering every few seconds, as if it was breathing.

As the armored vehicle entered the force field, everyone's eardrums suddenly felt high-frequency vibrations. This was the purification system stripping away the dust particles attached to the surface of their protective clothing.

“It’s really spectacular…”

White Rose leaned against the car window, her eyes shining.

The periphery of the relay station is densely packed with defensive fortifications: automatic turrets, psychic sentry machines, and floating reconnaissance vehicles cruising in the air.

There was a long queue at the entrance. Adventurers who came on foot and in various armored vehicles, transport ships, and even giant mechas were all waiting for their identities to be verified.

"This line is so long, my God, how long will it take us to get there?"

Huang Shaotian held his head and sighed, "Can we go in after dark?"

"queue?"

Alyssa curled her lips, looked at Lant, and said with a smile: “We have the VIP channel of the Rodson family.”

Lant shook his head and smiled, then took out the family emblem: "Rodson Family, Howling Wind Adventure Group, reservation code AX-7721."

A cold mechanical voice came from the communicator: "Identification verification: Xiaofeng Adventure Group, D-level."

Eight silver-grey mechanical tentacles rose from the ground, and the scanning beams left dark blue lines on the car body.

Night Owl quickly input the dynamic password, and when the gate opened with a bang, Ron lowered his voice and said, "The relay station's "spirit matrix" can monitor every corner, so no one dares to cause trouble here."

The moment the armored vehicle drove into the dedicated passage and passed through the force field shield, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Finally I can relax for a while.

At least, in the relay station, there is no need to face the Annihilation Beasts that may appear at any time. Of course, those guys from Steel Heart dare not act rashly.

As the armored vehicle drove into the relay station, the scene inside was completely different.

The towering metal buildings are scattered in an orderly manner, and holographic billboards are suspended in the air, flashing colorful neon lights.

People were walking on the streets, including adventurers in heavy armor and merchants in cloaks. It was like a small disaster city.

The air was filled with the metallic smell of motor oil, the aroma of synthetic food, and a faint scent of disinfectant.

"Divide into three groups."

Lant clapped his hands. "Ron, Night Owl, you go to the Iron Furnace to repair the armored vehicles. Li Wei, Selina, and Alyssa, follow me to the Blackstone Warehouse to receive the intelligent mercenaries. The rest of you, go to the Silver Wing Hotel with Deputy Captain Chen Hu to book a room. We'll have a good rest here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning!"

"understand!"

Everyone received map information distributed by Rand. It seemed that the captain had done a lot of preparatory work before carrying out the mission.

West area of ​​the relay station, steel furnace.

Ron parked the armored vehicle in the maintenance cabin, and an intelligent mechanic with four mechanical arms came over with a wrench.

The electronic eye scanned the armored vehicle several times before saying calmly, "The honeycomb matrix is ​​overloaded, the front armor is damaged, and the psychic engine needs to be calibrated. Overall, there are no major problems. You can come for inspection before tomorrow morning."

Night Owl raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Mr. Mechanic, if you can get it done within an hour, I can pay double the expedited fee."

The mechanic grinned, showing his metal teeth. "Deal!"

The mechanical tentacles sent the armored vehicle into the furnace-like maintenance cabin, and then countless nanorobots covered the body of the vehicle like a silver tide.

In order to earn the expedited fee, the mechanic was concentrating on the work. Ron lit a cigar, shielding the Night Owl behind him with his burly body, and lowered his voice to ask, "You dare to touch the firewall of the steel furnace at the relay station?"

“Just checking to see if the technology has been updated.”

Night Owl's holographic keyboard glowed red. "You should buy those system upgrade packages honestly and spend more money. I didn't pay the double expedited fee for nothing."

Ron's head went dark, and he could only cautiously block Night Owl's body.

But fortunately, maybe the mechanic was too focused, or maybe Night Owl's skills were indeed impeccable.

After a while, Night Owl raised his finger and gently poked Ron's back, then walked towards the busy mechanic with a smile, "Well, Mr. Mechanic, I'm not in a hurry anymore. You can repair it and we can pick it up tomorrow."

"..."

The corner of Ron's mouth twitched slightly. It seems that even the double expedited fee is a blank check!

The mechanic's brain almost short-circuited, "No, you!"

"Okay, seeing that you are busy enough, I can pay you 30% more."

Night Owl shrugged, "You haven't finished repairing it anyway, have you?"

The mechanic couldn't get angry at Night Owl's polite attitude, so he could only snort coldly, "Come back tomorrow morning to pick up your damn armored vehicle! Humph!!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

……

Blackstone Warehouse, North District of the Relay Station.

Lant pushed open the door of the container, and what came into view were twenty neatly arranged T-700 robotic mercenaries.

They stood still in the shadows, their scarlet electronic eyes like will-o'-the-wisp.

In addition, at the tail end of the box, there are three obviously more sturdy and taller intelligent mechanical mercenaries, which are the three Sheathed Ones.

"Master Lanter."

A middle-aged man in a black suit came forward and said, "The goods you ordered have been debugged. They come with three Sheath Returners and anti-psychic armor as you requested."

Lan nodded: "We can start the acceptance process. Also, this is your service fee."

As he spoke, he threw a silver card into the hands of the man in the suit.

The man in the suit took the silver card with both hands and said, "Thank you, Master Lanter. It's a pleasure to serve you."

……

Silver Wing Hotel, South District of the Relay Station.

The hotel lobby is luxuriously decorated, with a holographic fountain flowing in the center and the image of a virtual singer floating next to the counter and singing.

“Three suites.”

Ling Feng placed the adventure team badge on the counter.

The omnic receptionist smiled after scanning, "So you are a distinguished guest of the Howling Wind Adventure Group. Our hotel has already reserved the Stargazer Suite for you. Do you need any additional services? Our hotel provides nerve massage, memory cleansing, and even..."

"No need." White Rose interrupted her, "Just lead the way."

Huang Shaotian said with a look of surprise: "It seems that our leader has already arranged it. Damn, it's good to have money!"

Brian nodded excitedly. If he hadn't met Ling Feng and the other two noble people in his life, he probably wouldn't have dared to imagine such treatment as a superior person in his entire life.

……

At the same time, Team Steelheart has also arrived at the Dune Battlefield.

Previously, they suddenly lost contact with the Vulture Mercenaries, and at the same time, they also lost the location information of the armored vehicle of the Howling Wind Adventure Group.

This already gave Hausen a bad feeling.

At this moment, everything in front of him made Hausen's face turn pale.

On the vast sand dunes, the bodies of the Vulture members were lying in all directions, and the blood had not yet coagulated.

"All... all destroyed?"

Ente's voice trembled a little.

He was very clear about the strength of the Vulture Adventure Group, not to mention the vulture leader Blood Crow, who was a truth-level powerhouse!

"Total destruction? The vulture is S-rank!"

A team member nearby also took a breath of cold air, "A D-level adventure group wiped out an S-level adventure group. Is this possible?"

Ente pointed to the ground with trembling hands: "Captain! Over there!"

Not far away, a dozen steel-armored annihilation beasts were tearing apart the corpses of the vulture members. Sensing the breath of living people, they all turned their heads, and their compound eyes flashed a bloodthirsty red light.

"court death!"

Hausen's eyes flashed with blood and he punched out!

boom!

The leading Annihilation Beast was torn into pieces by the violent energy, and the rest of the monsters pounced on it instantly.

The Steel Heart members all took up their battle forms.

Deputy Captain "Iron Wall" transformed his arms into Vibranium tower shields to withstand the charge of the Annihilation Beast.

The sniper "Eagle Eye" floated into the air, and every bullet accurately penetrated the joints of the Annihilation Beast.

The magnetic sword energy burst out from the Ghost Hunter's "Blade" and directly gathered the Annihilation Beasts into a ball. With a fierce attack of the sword, those Annihilation Beasts with thick skin and flesh were instantly reduced to ashes!

Almost in an instant, all the annihilation beasts were wiped out.

This is the strength of Steel Heart.

Being able to become the ace exploration team of the Judgment Academy is far from being comparable to mercenaries like Vulture.

"Ghost, I want to know everything that happened here within three minutes!"

Hausen kicked away the wreckage of the Ash Titan, and the look on his face was so cold that it made everyone around him shudder.

"Yes, Captain!"

The team member named Ghost was also a hacker. He hurriedly collected the remaining corpses and mechas. If he was lucky, he could read some valuable information from the scanning system attached to their armor.

After a while, as Ghost's fingertips moved rapidly on the virtual keyboard, he finally found some information on the monitor of a damaged Ash Titan.

"team leader!"

Ghost quickly called Hausen, "We are lucky. This video should be able to tell us what happened here!"

After saying that, he pressed the final confirmation button.

However, the original surveillance video was deleted and replaced by a virtual image wearing a mask.

The figure on the screen raised two middle fingers towards all the members of the Steel Heart team in front of the screen, and said in a sarcastic and mocking tone, "Look, what are you looking at? Go home and see your mother! Hahahaha!"

"Damn it! How dare you play tricks on me!"

The ghost didn't know that he was completely outsmarted by the opponent's hacker!

"Too arrogant!"

The rest of the Steel Heart team members also started to curse.

boom!

In an instant, Hausen was furious and blew the last remnants of the Ash Titan into pieces.

"Howling Wind Adventure Group!"

Howson was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I want you all to die!!!" (End of this chapter)
