Super Mechanic: God of Superpowers!

Chapter 67 Philonia

"Buzz~"

Upon receiving the urgent order from the base, Ghost Fox, Er San, and the others dared not be careless and immediately drove back to the base at top speed.

Entering the stronghold, Ghost Fox looked at the scene before him, which was the same as usual, and couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief, saying, "It seems that the crisis inside the stronghold has been resolved."

But at that moment, Ersan, who was beside her, smelled the lingering scent of blood in the air. His expression immediately changed, and he shouted, "Something's wrong! Something's happened at the base!"

With a loud shout from Ersan, everyone was jolted awake. The "world" before them began to crack like glass, eventually shattering completely.

The next second, what appeared before their eyes was an extremely bloody scene.

Including Su Li, all the mercenaries employed by the Rose Armed Forces in the stronghold were dead. Blood soaked the ground and the air was filled with the stench of blood.

A man with a somewhat sinister appearance sat on a set of steps, watching them with a calm gaze and a warm smile on his face.

But to Ersan and the others, that smile seemed like the gaze of a demon.

Behind the man stood figures dressed in red armor, their faces obscured, all with their arms crossed.

"Who...who are you?" Ghost Fox was shocked and couldn't help but ask. She had killed countless people, but now she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Weren't you looking for me?" Ye Xiu smiled faintly and stood up.

"What?!"

Upon hearing that this person was the assassin they had been searching for, both Ghost Fox and Er San's expressions changed drastically, and they secretly sensed something was wrong.

"Before you die, can you tell us your code name?" Ghost Fox asked, his face ashen.

"Hehe, dead men shouldn't talk so much." Ye Xiu chuckled lightly, then with a thought, Ye Yi and the others moved and pounced on Ghost Fox and the others.

Faced with the siege of clones, and also mainly affected by Ye Xiu's illusion and force field manipulation.

Despite their resentment, Ersan and the others could not escape their fate.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu's expression did not change at all; he simply glanced calmly at the black gloves in his hand.

These were just given to him for free by Su Li; their official name is "Electrothermal Cutting Gloves."

Although Ye Xiu is not a mechanic and has no mechanical power, he is still of some help to him.

Besides, even if you don't need it in the future, you can still use it to have some fun with Korean technicians.

The electrothermal cutting gloves have a miniature electrothermal converter embedded inside, powered by a high-energy battery. Although the energy consumption is high, the power is considerable, especially when cutting metal, where it also provides a damage bonus.

Now that the mission was accomplished, Ye Xiu naturally had no need to stay here any longer. He withdrew his clone and drove away from the Rose Armed Forces' stronghold.

Not long after he left, Gordon's men drove up to the scene and were shocked by what they saw, realizing that a formidable figure had arrived in the Somar Desert.

……

Time flies, and five days pass quickly.

Ye Xiu finally discovered Philonia's remains.

Before his eyes, the desert suddenly collapsed, quicksand slid down, and a dark hole was revealed with a rumble.

The opening was constantly expanding, as if the earth was opening its mouth.

The presence of quicksand is clearly sufficient proof that there is a huge cavity beneath this desert.

Not far away, the pilgrims also saw this scene and, while shocked, quickly came over.

At the same time, a notification appeared on the panel in front of Ye Xiu's eyes:

[You have discovered a hidden location: [Philonia-08], congratulations! You have gained 1000 exploration experience points.]

[Hidden requirements for Bounty Hunter (Rose Armed) have been met]

Ye Xiu glanced at the panel and couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face, saying, "Finally found it."

The pilgrims quickly reached the edge of the cave entrance and peered inside.

One of the pilgrims suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes and said, "Could this be the location of the treasure?"

Upon hearing this, all the pilgrims' breathing became rapid, and they hurriedly climbed down the rock wall to the bottom.

It was pitch black in front of them. They could only vaguely sense that they were in a corridor-like space with narrow walls on the left and right and extended passageways in front and behind.

As a pilgrim turned on his flashlight, the scene suddenly became bright.

After they took in their surroundings, everyone gaped in astonishment, their faces filled with shock.

"This, this is..."

……

On the ground, Ye Xiu watched the pilgrims rushing into the cave entrance, but he sighed slightly and did not stop them.

Ye Xiu naturally knew Philonia's true secret. Even though he was quite strong now, there were still beings who could threaten him.

Therefore, he did not choose to let his main body go in, but instead prepared to go in through his clone.

Although the clone's strength is average, it is still enough to take the contents of any one of the locations as long as it doesn't go there.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu hesitated and used his alien energy to create a clone.

"It seems I have enough experience now, so I can use it to upgrade my clone ability. After all, this ability is quite useful for both fighting and self-preservation."

"In the future, the clones can go out to fight while the main body stays at home and develops quietly."

"If we find a suitable superhuman, we can just have our clone bring them back."

As he spoke, Ye Xiu's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea seemed perfect.

He was quite satisfied with the ability to create clones, and couldn't help but give Black Spider a thumbs up, thanking his older brother for his selfless dedication.

With a thought, Ye Yi, whose eyes were originally empty and devoid of consciousness, suddenly underwent a change in temperament, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

The clone has no consciousness; it only possesses the fighting instincts influenced by the original body.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for a clone to take the item under normal circumstances; it would be good enough if the item was not broken.

Of course, as the potential level of the [clone] ability increases, the intelligence of the clones will also become higher and higher, and they may be able to stand on their own in the future.

A flash of red light appeared on Ye Xiu's body, and after entering [Armed] mode, he leaped down.

Supernatural abilities consume a lot of energy, and while the [Phantom Armor] ability is very powerful, its drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy.

If other superpowers are used during the process, the rate at which energy is consumed will only increase exponentially, it's not as simple as 1+1.

After putting on the electric heating cutting gloves, Ye Xiu's body landed on the ground with a "thud," and the sound echoed instantly inside the cave.

Because the rock wall has a certain curvature, sunlight cannot shine in, making it pitch black in front of him.

Fortunately, "Ye Xiu" was prepared and took out a black flashlight.

The surroundings were vast and deep, and the beam of the flashlight was like a lonely island in a dark ocean.

A rustling sound could be heard from time to time around him, which seemed to be the sound of him landing, attracting the attention of some being.

Using the light of a power flashlight, "Ye Xiu" found himself in a metal corridor filled with reinforced concrete.

The walls were covered with yellowish-green rust oxides, and strange-looking insects could be vaguely seen crawling in the rust.

The openwork metal plate underfoot was covered in dust, but a new set of footprints led forward, clearly left by the previous group of pilgrims.

Ye Xiu subconsciously glanced down at the area below the metal plate. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still startled.

The latest novel is first published here!

In the dark space beneath the perforated metal plate, countless red compound eyes were silently watching him.

"Hoo!" Ye Xiu took a deep breath and quickly looked away, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, it was a clone that came down this time, so I won't feel bad even if it dies.

Ye Xiu didn't want to waste any time; he just wanted to take his things and leave the Somar Desert as soon as possible.

He followed the pilgrims' footprints step by step. The surroundings were silent, with the occasional rustling sound of creatures crawling. But if you listened carefully, the sound seemed to have never been there before, which was quite eerie.

Not long after, a fork in the road appeared in front of Ye Xiu, and the pilgrim's footprints disappeared to his right.

Seeing this, Ye Xiu did not hesitate at all and turned to walk towards the right fork in the road.

But just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the fork in the road on the right.

Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to expose himself. He then darted to the left side of the road, turned off his flashlight, and put on night vision goggles.

"Quickly...get out of here!"

"Monster! There's a monster inside!"

The pilgrims ran out of the side path in a panic, their faces filled with terror. They had clearly encountered a terrifying being that they would never forget. They were covered in blood and their numbers were much smaller than before.

The next second, a sound like a wild beast's roar came from another side road next door.

His voice was hoarse and heavy, like the sigh of a giant, with a buzzing echo.

Upon hearing this voice, even as a clone, "Ye Xiu" felt his blood boil and his heart pound with unease.

"The beast-transformation pressure is of a high level; the level is indeed over forty."

Ye Xiu's eyes flickered slightly as he thought to himself.

The pilgrims rushed out, their faces filled with terror.

However, the monster did not seem to come out.

Seeing this, the pilgrims gasped for breath, looking as if they had survived a disaster.

Ye Xiu, however, was secretly on guard, knowing that the monster moved without making a sound.

"Ugh... Frey is dead. He was swallowed whole by the monster."

"This place is terrifying."

The old pilgrim looked utterly dejected, as if all his energy had been drained away.

Legendary magical ruins should be filled with mystery and profoundness, and should be mainly composed of stone buildings, but this place is just a man-made steel base.

He even saw the emblem of his homeland on the wall, indicating that this was clearly a secret military base of his homeland.

"This is definitely not Philonia. Let's go find the real Philonia."

A resolute look appeared on the old pilgrim's face, and his tone was firm.

The pilgrims quickly left, supporting each other.

Looking at the perseverance of this group of people, Ye Xiu couldn't help but sigh again.

Firstly, it's a pity for their hopeless perseverance; secondly, it's a sigh at the true nature of the dramatic changes on Aquamarine.

Sometimes, knowing too much doesn't seem to be a comfortable thing.

Soon, Ye Xiu regained his composure and headed towards the right fork in the road.

He then opted not to turn on his flashlight, but instead used night vision goggles for safety.

Therefore, in Ye Xiu's vision, all he could see was a dark green expanse, and because he was a clone, he could only barely make out the road ahead.

After walking for about ten seconds, Ye Xiu suddenly saw a huge footprint on the ground that was completely different from a human's. It was obviously left by the monster from before.

If compared to the height of a normal human, this monster would be about three meters tall.

Not long after they started walking, a half-open iron gate suddenly appeared ahead, and the monster's footprints only extended to the doorway before stopping abruptly.

As soon as Ye Xiu reached the edge of the doorway, he smelled an extremely foul odor, like flesh and blood that had been rotting for many years, mixed with a faint smell of fresh blood.

He peeked inside cautiously.

He saw a pair of fist-sized, blood-red eyes staring down at him, their faces less than half a meter apart!

For a moment, he felt a chill run down his spine and his heart skipped a beat.
