Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 851 The Angry Zalupé

Bai Yang reviewed the mission details again and understood the situation.

Originally, as a Lord of Laws, he should have taken the initiative to visit Zhalupe as soon as possible to thank him for his favor and swear that he would advance to True God as soon as possible and join his ranks.

Zhalupe naturally expressed his optimism about the future of the mountain and sea soldiers, and since they hit it off so well, he gave them some gifts.

The subordinate relationship between the two parties was thus established.

The first gift won't be too expensive, but it will be very useful, demonstrating the other party's wealth without giving Bai Yang too much of an advantage.

How much to give and how often to give it depends entirely on the performance of the soldiers.

Bai Yang flew towards the desert where the mechanical legion was, a cold smile creeping onto his face.

"Go play by yourself."

The Second Era has actually been underway for less than five hundred years, so there is plenty of time.

However, when it comes to studying mechanical flow, it can take hundreds or thousands of years to get started.

He disdained such formalities of welcoming and sending off officials.

The Xingyang Group is overwhelmed with daily affairs, and he has long been accustomed to sitting on the sidelines, simply having his subordinates report to him.

Why would someone do such a thing themselves?

A true god who might advance to the level of a Void God?

He might be considered a big shot in the universe, but he wouldn't even give him a second thought.

Bai Yang quickly returned to Haklian's residence, and even though Zhalupe's underground palace was not far away, he had no intention of going there.

Harker himself was an arrogant person, and since he believed that Bai Yang was a genius, he naturally felt that it was right to have some temper.

After offering advice twice, he stopped mentioning the matter and began to focus on imparting his knowledge of mechanical flow.

Bai Yang has no need for treasures that can enhance his cultivation, and therefore has little need for military merits.

The task assigned by Zalupe would normally only grant five thousand military merits.

Who knows how many epochs it would take to accumulate this amount in this way?

Hakeren temporarily took over the task of learning about materials and equipment for mechanical flow.

Bai Yang didn't say it aloud, but he made Xing Shou secretly memorize every detail in his mind, preparing to return it all to the old man in one go.

In the blink of an eye, more than five thousand years have passed, and more than half of the Second Era has gone by.

Zhalupe waited and waited, but Bai Yang did not come over for a long time, which made him secretly curious.

"What happened? Didn't Shan Hai fail his mission and come back alive?"

"Could it be that because of insufficient strength and severe injuries, he hasn't recovered his divine body and simply hasn't bothered to check on the new mission?"

When the new era began, he contacted Huo Zhuowu, the commander of the Manghe Army, and helped him make this happen.

Huo Zhuowu had also heard of Zhalupe's name; a future Void God who was extremely skilled in mechanical manipulation was quite influential.

The other party humbly asked him for a new recruit, and he naturally agreed without hesitation.

While overjoyed, Zhalupe checked Bai Yang's information and discovered that he had actually chosen the title-sealing mission!

He had initially thought the other party would never return, but to his surprise, Bai Yang returned "quickly," and he was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, it's better to fail early if you're not strong enough. The mechanical style is the true path!"

He had been eagerly awaiting Bai Yang's arrival, but no matter how long he waited, Bai Yang never came. Finally, he sensed that something was wrong.

Zhalupe sat in his office, connected to the military camp's network system, and instantly found out about Bai Yang's situation.

It is confirmed to be active, and there appear to be no new redemption records.

He frowned slightly and began to check on Haklian's situation, discovering that he hadn't recently exchanged for any treasures to restore his divine body.

But the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared intently at an image.

The screen in front of me suddenly enlarged, projecting the entire process of Bai Yang entering the desert area and then flying into the underground dwelling of Haklian.

The soldier Shan Hai had already arrived and was right beside him!

What is this?

Did they deliberately pass by the door without going in?

Zalupe was instantly furious; this guy was completely disregarding him!

"Haklen? Did you order this?"

In the past, Zhalupe had always turned a blind eye to minor conflicts with this grumpy old man because of his skill in weapon crafting.

But this time, does he really not take his position as the captain seriously?

Since he broke through the bottleneck and took a big step towards becoming a Void God, no one has dared to treat him like this for a long time!

Even a true leader would give him some respect.

Enraged, Zalupe teleported directly to the sky above the desert.

This area is the base of the mechanical legion, and each metal cover has a separate space underneath.

In the actual desert area at the top, those metal covers are actually very close together.

He took a single step and instantly arrived above Haklian's residence.

He was furious, and a burst of ethereal divine power slammed directly into the metal lid on the ground.

His divine power immediately resonated throughout the vast underground space of Haklian:

"Haklian! Sergeant Shan Hai! Come out here!"

In the tallest tower of the underground space, Bai Yang and Hakelian are carrying out the second in-depth modification of Youyun Wing, which is nearing completion.

Upon hearing this sound, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look out the window, then exchange bewildered glances.

Bai Yang had never heard this voice before and asked, "What is this?"

"That's Zalupé! He seems to have really become famous."

Across from him, Haklian looked somewhat grave; he had never heard Zalupe speak with such anger before.

Although he was Zhalupe's subordinate, Hakren was not afraid of him.

Bai Yang, however, is just an ordinary soldier, and he will probably find it difficult to withstand the other party's wrath.

"Shan Hai, why don't you take the initiative to apologize and let it go?"

Bai Yang was slightly surprised and said:

"I don't even know him. He just kept talking to himself the whole time. When did he ever ask me a single question?"

"If you're not wrong, why apologize?"

Back then, Lu Ting and Wei Mintai gave him ample choice. If they had been forceful back then, he would never have maintained such a good relationship with them now.

Bai Yang put on the Youyun Wings and flew out of the tower, heading straight for the ground.

He wanted to see what the other party was up to.

Seeing how stubborn he was, Haklian clearly had no intention of backing down.

He sighed and immediately flew up after them, afraid that they would cause too much trouble.

Standing in the air above the desert, Zhalupe saw no response from below.

He was just about to throw a punch, using a physical attack to strike the underground space.

Hacklen's metal cap suddenly split open from the middle.

Bai Yang's figure soared into the sky and instantly arrived in front of Zhalupe.

His flight altitude was quite subtle; he was nearly 100 kilometers away from Zalupe, but from a horizontal perspective, he was exactly 100 meters higher than him.

It's obvious they have no intention of backing down!

With his keen eye, Zalupe immediately noticed this as well.

"It wasn't Hakuren who caused the trouble; it's just that the kid is unruly."

His anger flared even more intensely!

Shouldn't Hacken teach this guy a lesson?

There's absolutely no sense of discipline!

Zalupe, born of a strange beast, already had a bad temper, and seeing such a bold and reckless Lord of Laws, he could no longer tolerate it!

"How dare you! Get down here!"

A spacetime fluctuation at the level of a true god pressed down on Bai Yang.
