"You just let that guy go like that? I guarantee that he's definitely hiding some information."
Xiao Te said this at this time.
But could it really be that simple? Even Xiao Te could see it, but Guan Xing and Adam really didn't notice it at all?
"No need to keep asking. I don't think there will be any results."
"No matter what the other party's true identity is, at least they haven't considered opposing us yet. We have more important things to do now."
At this time, Guanxing and Adam were talking to each other, and it seemed that some kind of tacit understanding had been formed between them.
Chapter 405: Adam's Discovery
Adam and his companions finally crossed the borders of Ziyuan Town and entered the mysterious Western Regions. Compared to the bustling crowds of Ziyuan Town, this place was truly a deserted place. They trudged for a long time but still found no sign of human presence.
The surrounding landscape gradually grew desolate and silent, the air thick with an ancient and mysterious aura. Adam felt as if he were in a forgotten world, devoid of life. The lush jungle vanished, replaced by a desert-like wasteland. Towering mountains rose from the earth, like the backbone of a giant dragon between heaven and earth, their farthest reaches vanishing into the azure horizon.
Their footsteps became heavier, dust filled the air, the wind whistled past, the sun scorched and mercilessly shone on their bodies, sweat flowed down their cheeks, and they breathed heavily and tiredly.
It is really hard to imagine that the imperial army has been fighting in such a difficult environment for a long time.
They walked with heavy steps, stepping on the hard sand. Silence enveloped them. From time to time, the sound of the wind rustled, like a whisper from ancient times, pulling them into an inescapable fantasy world.
The sun gradually set, a crimson glow filling the sky, illuminating the boundless land of the Western Regions. Heaven and earth gradually merged into one, as if they had never been separated.
Adam and his companions continued their arduous journey across the desolate landscape, exhausted both physically and mentally. Having endured the scorching desert heat and the endless march, they finally saw a glimmer of hope. Something buried in the yellow sand piqued their curiosity.
Adam squatted down and pushed aside the sand, revealing a broken shield. This shield was once shining, and it was covered with scars of battle. He glanced at the stars and found that his eyes also stayed on the shield.
"These are the soldiers who stayed behind to defend the empire and fight against the monsters." Guanxing's voice was a little sad, as if he was recalling the battle scenes of the past.
Adam's heart stirred, and he understood something. This desolate place was not an uninhabited place, but a battlefield that had once witnessed fierce fighting.
They continued their search, pushing aside the sand and uncovering more relics. Broken swords, shattered armor, broken arrows... Each one a witness to battle. These shattered instruments seemed to tell a legend of ancient grandeur.
“How many people are buried in this desert?”
Adam looked at the endless desert. How many weapons were hidden here?
"Three years ago, three hundred thousand soldiers bravely fought here, countless sacrifices made, and ultimately slain the beast Yama Luo, restoring peace to the rest of the empire." Guan Xing continued, "Those fallen soldiers... have since lain dormant in this desert, alongside their weapons, to protect the well-being of the empire."
At this time, Guanxing picked up a handful of yellow sand and let the strong wind blow it away, and it disappeared in the sea of sand.
At this moment, she seemed to recall the devastating battle three years ago.
Even when faced with an incredibly powerful beast, these soldiers didn't flinch at all. They used their own flesh and blood to slay the beast.
However, facing the sad stargazing, Xiao Te and Adam did not say anything.
Rather, they have seen such scenes too many times.
In this era, the birth of Chiyou, the first Judgment-level Honkai Beast, caused the death toll to rise again. The events of the past era were temporarily set aside, as the beginning of this era was destined to be paved with blood and lives.
Every Herrscher's birth was accompanied by the destruction of a city. In such a cruel situation, human life was as insignificant as an ant. Even if there were 300,000 people, even millions, or tens of millions, their death would be a matter of a moment.
It wasn't that Adam was heartless; in fact, in this world, human life was the cheapest commodity. The rules of this world made life fragile and insignificant.
"Let's not talk about this for now. We came here to seek help from General Youlan, right? Where are we going now?"
Adam asked while stargazing.
"That deserted city ahead is our target this time."
As Guanxing spoke, he pointed to the ruined city in the distance.
It once existed as a border town of the empire, but now it has become dilapidated because of the strange beasts.
The Youlan Army, which was fighting against the strange beasts, was stationed in that place.
"Ok?"
At this moment, Adam inexplicably felt a familiar aura passing by him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"Wait a minute, I'll go over and take a look."
"Hey! Where are you going..."
Before Xiao Te could speak to stop Adam, Adam had already started running towards the direction where the breath appeared.
"What did he find?" Xiao Te looked at Adam strangely. He always felt that Adam seemed to have a serious expression just now.
"Wait, someone seems to be coming."
At this time, Xiao Te's detector discovered that someone seemed to be coming towards this side from the deserted city.
………………
"Oh no! The captain seems to have discovered us."
"Sister, let's retreat!"
On a huge rock not far from Adam, Lilia and Rosalia, who were monitoring Adam at the time, had already seen Adam rushing towards them.
If they were caught by Adam this time, both of them would be finished!
So the two of them immediately wanted to escape from this place.
But how could Adam give these two brats another chance?
As soon as the two turned around, a dark portal appeared in front of them.
Adam walked out with a gloomy face and looked at the two guys.
"It's you two guys."
Adam looked at the twins who appeared and showed an expression of no surprise.
Although the breath just now was very faint, Adam could clearly feel the presence of these two people.
"What's that guy's purpose in bringing me into this world? This time, I won't let you two escape!"
At this time, Adam drew his weapon and aimed it at Lilia and Rosalia.
"Oh, oh no! The captain is really angry!"
"Sister, let's find a way to leave!"
When the two saw that Adam really intended to take action, they also began to get scared.
However, just as Adam was about to swing his sword, he suddenly felt a murderous intent behind him.
At a critical moment, Adam dodged the sword that was stabbed from behind.
Chapter 406: Kasumi and Delta
Adam squeezed his eyes shut, feeling the biting chill against his cheeks, as if the cold wind pierced his skin and touched his fragile nerve endings. For a split second, he seemed to see the face of Death, that cold, sinister face looming before his eyes. Just a fraction of a second before the blade pierced his skull, and the image of blood splattering filled his mind.
A breath of danger washed over him, but Adam, relying on instinct, dodged the fatal blow with a swift movement. He spun around like a leopard, agile and swift. With unparalleled speed, he kicked the man behind him away.
The kicked figure traced a graceful arc through the air, as light as a feather. Losing his balance, he collapsed to the ground like a struck prey. His body spun several times in the air, sending up a shower of dust and gravel, before landing with a dull thud.
Adam stood there, sweat dripping down his forehead like raindrops. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. Every nerve in his body was on edge, like being pulled by a string. His eyes scanned his surroundings, searching for potential danger.
"Failed?"
At this moment, Adam finally saw clearly the figure he had kicked out.
It turned out to be Yae Kasumi wearing a suit of futuristic technology.
Yae Kasumi did not expect that her almost fatal attack was actually dodged by Adam. Her moves that had always been effective in the past were now ineffective against Adam.
"What a dangerous blow! Honestly, if I hadn't sensed the abnormal air flow, I wouldn't have noticed it."
Adam wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a thrilling tone.
At that moment, Adam didn't feel the other party's murderous intent at all.
That move was so fast that it even merged into the air.
If it weren't for Adam, it would be really hard to imagine who could have avoided that move just now.
"I didn't expect it was really you, Yae Kasumi."
Adam couldn't help but say as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Yae Kasumi didn't expect that she would be exposed so early.
Her original plan was to continue tracking the whereabouts of Adam and others after releasing Raven.
But what was unexpected was that Adam's intuition was so sensitive that he could actually detect the movements of the twins.
Now it has even been intercepted by Adam.
However, if she didn't take action, the twins would definitely be left behind.
Xia doesn't believe that these two people will keep the secret.
If Adam got the details of the plan, who knows what would happen.
"However, with just the three of you, there's no chance of escape. Give up."
Adam faced Xia and said calmly.
This is not arrogance, but simply an expression of confidence in one's own abilities.
With the strength of these three people alone, Adam could deal with them in an instant.
Suddenly, a huge roar resounded through the sky, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.
"Super Headbutt!" A deafening shout pierced the silent battlefield. Adam subconsciously raised his head and saw a black shadow falling from the sky at an astonishing speed, like a meteor streaking through the night sky.
Faced with this sudden figure, Adam subconsciously took a step back.
Just above his head, the sudden black shadow fell, stirring up a violent storm. Dust flew everywhere, filling the air and blurring the entire battlefield.
"Who is it?!" Adam stared at the person falling in front of him. Who could have suddenly intervened here?
"Ah, ah, I didn't expect someone could dodge this move of mine. I really can't underestimate you."
In the smoke and dust, a voice that should have sounded familiar slowly appeared in Adam's ears.
"You are?!"
After seeing the girl in front of him, Adam couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He was wearing a jacket and had two tails behind him.
But that face...without a doubt, it must be Rosalia.
but why?
"Sister Delta!"
Looking at the person who appeared in front of everyone, Gemini couldn't help but start cheering.
"Delta!"
When Xia saw the person in front of her, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? You guys failed your mission so quickly, and now you want me to cover for you."
The girl named Delta couldn't help but start complaining at this moment.
Adam's eyes narrowed. It seemed that this girl was on the ferryman's side.
Is it the helper found from the world bubble?
"watch out!"
Delta's eyes burned with endless fighting spirit. Without hesitation, she gripped the two greatswords in her hands and rushed towards Adam.
The corners of Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She knew the captain's strength very well, and ordinary tricks would have no effect on Adam.
But Delta ignored this point because of a momentary impulse.
"Calm down, Delta, the captain's strength is not that..." Xia tried to persuade, but before she could finish her words, Delta interrupted her impatiently.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Her voice was full of unquestionable aggressiveness, as if a storm was about to come.
Under Xia's astonished gaze, Delta rushed towards Adam. His body was as swift as lightning, and the tip of his sword made a sharp, piercing sound as it cut through the air.
Adam's eyes fixed, and he immediately raised his longsword. Its edge clashed fiercely with Delta's greatsword, erupting in a dazzling burst of light and stunning sparks. The air was filled with the clash of sharp metal and the roar of blazing flames, like the sounds of bloodshed on a battlefield.
The two figures intertwined, the clash of swords echoing across the battlefield. Delta's attack was like a violent storm, each swing of his sword imbued with boundless destructive power. Adam, with his precise swordsmanship and exceptional reflexes, parried Delta's attacks time and time again.
