Chapter 109: Chapter 92: Fleeing on Sight
The image transmitted through his glasses made Xuanwu’s pupils constrict. His reaction slowed by half a beat, and in that moment of distraction, one of his robots was attacked and sustained heavy damage.
He didn’t seem to care that one of his robots was attacked. Instead, a smile played on his lips.
"I found it. So it was under the reservoir all along. It’s certainly well hidden," he muttered to himself while fending off the attacks, his eyes lighting up.
Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Huang San, Huang Wu, Huang Jiu, Huang Shiqi, cover me!"
On the other side, the four men locked in battle with the Thousand Vine Demon received the message as well. Excited, they immediately grasped Xuanwu’s intent. They decisively abandoned their opponent and launched a frenzied assault on the female tour guide and the Thousand-Year Puppet.
The female tour guide hadn’t expected Huang San’s group to adopt such a suicidal tactic. Caught off guard, she was thrown into disarray by the barrage of Skills and forced onto the defensive.
On the edge of the battlefield not far away, Chu Xiran and her two companions, unable to offer any real help, watched the scene unfold in confusion.
"Feida No. 2, retreat!"
Seeing that Huang San’s group had temporarily stopped the female tour guide with their surprise attack, Xuanwu didn’t hesitate and immediately retreated.
"What’s going on?"
The female tour guide was even more bewildered by this.
’What are these guys from the Mechanical Desecration Association up to? Why the sudden change in tactics?’
"This is bad!" Chu Xiran’s brow furrowed. She quickly realized something and shouted a warning, "He might have found the true Sealed Land!"
"The true Sealed Land?"
Hearing the warning, the female tour guide turned and shot her a questioning look.
Chu Xiran’s lips trembled, and she said with difficulty, "It’s... hard to explain right now. In any case, just stop him!"
Logically speaking, in a situation where something was clearly being hidden, the female tour guide could have completely ignored it.
Not to mention Chu Xiran, even the family behind her had no right to order her to do anything.
But the female tour guide didn’t hesitate, immediately giving chase. "He thinks he can just leave? It’s not that simple!"
She directed her two Pet Beasts to launch a torrential assault on the fleeing Xuanwu. "I don’t care what you’ve discovered. You’re not getting away!"
Xuanwu was once again entangled by the female tour guide and unable to get away. He looked at the other four, his voice cold and sharp, and gave the order: "Huang San, Huang Wu, Huang Jiu, Huang Shiqi, you know what to do!"
Hearing this command, a look of grim determination appeared on the faces of the four men.
"Remember to bring us back!" After shouting, the four quickly scrambled into the robots’ cockpits. Then, an eerie red glow suddenly shot out from the robots’ bodies.
As the red glow radiated from their bodies, their auras also began to climb rapidly.
Seeing this, Xuanwu quickened his retreat and gave his promise without hesitation. "Don’t worry. I’ll implant your memory chips into new clones."
This was also a very important reason why the Mechanical Desecration Association was so difficult to deal with.
They were fearless in the face of death!
Even if they died during a mission, they could be resurrected by implanting their memory chips into new clones.
Of course, it was hard to say whether the resurrected person was still the original.
These forbidden technologies were explicitly banned by all Federations on the Ancestral Star.
However, this prohibition only applied to ordinary people and organizations.
For a Cult Organization like the Mechanical Desecration Association, it had no binding force at all.
To them, ethics, morals, laws, and regulations were all just meaningless pieces of paper.
"This is bad! They’re preparing to burn their Energy Furnaces!"
The female tour guide’s expression turned grim when she saw Huang San’s group enter the cockpits, after which the four Dominator Level robots immediately began to radiate a dazzling red glow.
With a low growl, she abruptly intensified her assault.
"Trying to break through us in this state is a fool’s dream!" Inside the robot, Huang San’s gaze was cold. He had merged with this Mechanical Pet Beast, and by burning the Energy Furnace, his power had skyrocketed.
The female tour guide tested them and found that in terms of attack power alone, the four robots had already reached the Mid-Tier Dominator level.
Teamed up with Xuanwu’s other three Overlord Initial Stage robots, it was seven against two. Even though her Thousand Vine Demon and Thousand-Year Puppet had both reached the High-level Dominator rank, she couldn’t possibly defeat them quickly.
She knew very well that the four robots burning their Energy Furnaces couldn’t last long. Once the effect wore off, they would be sitting ducks. Unfortunately, this period of time was more than enough for Xuanwu to escape far away and even achieve his goal.
Lingering on the fringes of the battlefield, Chu Xiran and her two companions couldn’t help but look anxious as they watched this scene.
They tried to attack, but unfortunately, the power gap was too great, and their impact on the battle was next to nothing. They could only watch helplessly as Xuanwu broke through and escaped.
Xuanwu broke through. Although he looked a bit battered, he was in high spirits. Having found the Sealed Land, it would be worth it even if he and all four of his subordinates were sacrificed.
What’s more, he still had a trump card—one strong enough to annihilate everyone here. He just needed to find the Sealed Land to unleash it.
"Hahaha..." Feeling that victory was at hand, he couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter.
His laughter was unrestrained and maniacal, but in the next moment, it stopped abruptly!
It was because he saw a massive, orange-red fireball—a full seven or eight meters in diameter—smashing toward him.
This was the Large Flame Bomb Skill of a Fire Attribute Pet Beast!
He had just remembered what this Skill was when, in the next instant, he and the Feida No. 1 beside him were engulfed by the huge, orange-red fireball.
The female tour guide, who was already some distance away and still entangled with the seven robots, couldn’t help but purse her lips in a smile when she saw this.
’As expected, one shouldn’t get too arrogant, or they’ll be struck by lightning—or in this case, roasted by fire!’
’Also, that’s a Fire Mastiff, which means that person is... Zhao Xiwei, the special agent from the Jiangnan Province Public Security Bureau!’
"Last time, during the battle at the Yunwu Mountain Scenic Area, she only sent out a single Thunderlight Leopard. She was really holding back..." Seeing the woman in black leather riding on a Wolf Vulture right behind, the female tour guide quickly recognized her and connected the dots.
At the same time, in mid-air some distance away, Zhao Xiwei also saw the female tour guide commanding her two Pet Beasts in battle.
’Mu Qianqian, the current heir of the Guardian family of the Mysterious Forest Secret Realm!’
After recognizing the female tour guide’s identity, Zhao Xiwei was quite surprised. She hadn’t expected her to leave Cloud Mist Mountain to come to the aid of Lingshui City.
The two women’s gazes met from afar, then they both looked away and focused on their own battlefields.
On Mu Qianqian’s side—that is, the female tour guide—Huang San’s four robots were already showing signs of fatigue. It was obvious they were spent forces.
Meanwhile, on Zhao Xiwei’s side, a figure emerged from within the flames... a robot wreathed in a red glow.
Before Zhao Xiwei could command her Pet Beasts to attack again, the robot cloaked in the red glow fled once more at an incredible speed.
Fleeing on sight. This bizarre maneuver left Zhao Xiwei stunned for a moment.
By the time she reacted, the other party had already put some distance between them.
