Chapter 302: Surprise, Gains from this Battle
The silver mecha looked into the distance and stayed there for a moment.
Finally, he turned around quickly and headed towards the depths of the villa.
Quiet cave, entrance.
The two Urobuchi Guardians had finished their battle and walked out of the dusty and smoke-filled cave. A faint stream of blue energy particles remained on the path they had walked, and from a distance they looked like transparent ribbons on both sides of the mecha.
"call out!"
In the distance, a silver light fell and landed heavily on the ground.
"Um?"
"Where are the people?"
As the captain of this operation, No. 1 frowned under his helmet.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I let him get away."
Number Two's voice was slightly muffled.
Number One's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately noticed the scar on the chest of the silver mecha, which was a broad and deep palm print. He spoke.
"Being able to damage the Void Alloy, this person's strength should not be underestimated. He should be the head of a school in the Martial Arts Association. He ran away, it's not your fault..."
Number Two was silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"I should have fully activated the Taixu Pill earlier."
The Taixu Pill is the energy core of the Urobuchi Guardian, responsible for the energy supply of the entire Metal Knight-class mecha. When activated, the energy of the Urobuchi Guardian will be consumed tenfold, and all the machine data and combat capabilities will soar. If that form is activated, White Owl may not be able to escape.
"Forget it. The loss outweighs the gain."
"Only one escaped, and the others were left behind."
“Especially the people from those six companies.”
Number 3, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.
"Well, this time, they finally got an excuse from us."
Captain No. 1 nodded slightly and looked up at the bright moon.
The biological armor, a new force, has actually only been around for a short time, only within ten years. However, its overall development momentum is very rapid, with six or seven giant group companies already established, and various powerful series of monster cell-born creatures emerging, including some general-level ones.
However, if it had only stopped there, the Metal Council would not have taken it seriously and been vigilant. Until a while ago, a rumor spread in the biological armor circle. The six major companies seemed to be working together to study a project called "Monster King", which was surprisingly a king-level armor above the general-level armor! This was truly stepping into the world's top field!
In the past, only the Metal Council and the Martial Arts Association had such a person. In the Metal Council, that level is called an Ascendant. In the Martial Arts Association, it is called a Grandmaster. The action of the six major companies this time, attempting to obtain the flesh and blood of the Eternal Sleeping God, is related to the "Monster King" plan.
I just don’t know how the “King of Monsters” project is progressing?
Is there any King Armor that has been born?!
"Take everyone away and return to headquarters."
"For follow-up matters, the group will work with the people of the Metal Council to handle it."
Captain No. 1 took a deep breath and then spoke to the two team members.
Overhead, the helicopter's laser light shone down again, forming a white circle of light. The wind pressure caused by the rotation of the wings blew the gravel and weeds.
…
At the same time, outside the villa.
On the coastal beach, a violent figure gradually stopped leaping. With a heavy step, the sand shook, and the white owl stood still.
His upper body was naked, and the moonlight splashed on Bai Xiao's strong muscular body like quenched steel. His spine tilted back slightly, and two scars that had not yet solidified remained on his tense back muscles. The golden blood beads slid down the shark-like gill-like intercostal muscle grooves and suddenly smashed a micro crater on the sand.
"The high-frequency vibrating blade..."
"The residual energy cannot be healed in a short time."
Bai Xiao muttered to himself, and then mobilized the blood pill with all his strength, gradually closing the wound. The attack power of the silver mecha was more powerful than expected. Not only could it break through the defense of the Zen Sound Qi Bell and the Glazed Golden Light on the spot, but it also left a wound. Even afterwards, the scar could not be closed in a short time.
Causes the person to suffer bleeding damage continuously.
"Is this the Metal Council?"
He took a deep breath, and the heat from his body surface gradually evaporated. He quickly recovered from a giant over three meters tall to a normal size.
Bai Xiao slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the villa in the distance.
Sighed slightly.
"What a pity, those hypnotic props."
Suddenly, a clear voice was heard from the dark woods nearby.
"Are you talking about that?"
A slender figure in tight combat uniform walked out with light steps. Her emerald green hair was like silk in the night wind. Her fair face was sparkling, clean and beautiful.
It’s Yaoqing.
After she was unsealed and regained the power of the universe, she was completely different from before. Some mysterious methods might have scared Bai Xiao. So, when he retreated alone just now, he was not worried about whether Yao Qing would be caught. As expected, Yao Qing also escaped easily.
Moreover, he was holding something wrapped in rags in his hands.
Throw it on the ground and open it.
They turned out to be three different kinds of hypnosis props, which were slightly damaged.
Yao Qing glanced at Bai Xiao and said with a smile.
"I saw you were collecting these things before, so they should be helpful to you. So when I left the cave just now, I took some..."
Bai Xiao didn't expect there would be such an unexpected intention. Yao Qing was thoughtful.
"Thank you very much."
He thanked her immediately and packed up all the hypnosis props again.
"Oh, yes."
"I also brought someone out, and he was almost dying."
Yao Qing brought Bai Xiao to an open space in the woods, where a black-clad figure covered in blood lay, his chest cracked, and his breathing weakly.
It’s the evil ghost face!
"He is still alive. He is really lucky."
Seeing Ghost Face, Bai Xiao couldn't help but sigh at the other party's cockroach-like vitality. But the next second, his eyes lit up slightly. It was a good thing that Ghost Face was not dead. The other party had been affected by his Magic Bird Secret Book and had just been strengthened again. Maybe, he could plant the magic seed and take it in as a dog.
The career of martial arts gym owner has always been on Bai Xiao's mind.
The team that Guimian originally planned to set up for the Netherworld Martial Arts School, as well as various relationships and channels, can all be used. It is equivalent to a backdoor listing.
In addition, Ghost Face probably has the Void Crystal given to him by the Evil Ghost Court! I wonder if it can help Bai Xiao break through to the late stage of the Fighter?
"We have to squeeze out all his value..."
"It's good that you didn't die."
Bai Xiao's eyes flickered slightly and he quickly glanced at the ghost face on the ground.
…
A few hours later.
Donghai City, a detached villa.
In the living room.
“Tatta…”
Bai Xiao slowly walked down from the second floor, feeling refreshed, having just taken a shower and changed into a new set of clothes. The impact of the previous thrilling battle gradually dissipated, leaving no trace on his body.
"Your reward."
On the sofa, Yao Qing was wearing a set of home pajamas, holding a glass in one hand and shaking it gently. The scarlet wine inside gurgled and had a crystal clear luster. She seemed to be in a good mood, enjoying the wine.
Two white and slender fingers gently pushed on the coffee table.
The silver safe made a slight friction sound.
Apparently, this was the reward for this mission.
Bai Xiao walked over quickly, took a look at Yao Qing, and then opened the box. White smoke came out, and inside were neatly arranged glass test tubes, with a viscous liquid like mercury, dazzling.
He glanced over and counted them quickly.
There are actually fifteen of them!
This is a lot more than the number agreed upon before.
Bai Xiao picked up one of the thumb-sized potions, raised it into the air and shook it gently, and the silver liquid inside suddenly turned blue.
Brilliant and clear, with a dreamy and crystal-clear feeling.
“Haha, not bad.”
He laughed lightly.
"besides."
"Well, go on."
Yao Qing, who was sitting on the sofa, took a sip of red wine, and suddenly took out a potion from his arms. He threw it towards Bai Xiao, and it drew an arc in the air.
Bai Xiao was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed it.
This was also a transparent glass test tube, and inside it was a mysterious purple liquid, bubbling slightly. He stretched out his hand and shook it, and suddenly tiny streams of light like stars appeared.
Looking into the test tube is like looking at the stars.
"Cold Star Potion..."
White Owl muttered to himself.
"Yes, this is a laboratory-stage medicine with a very strong effect."
"Under the general-level armor, no matter which series, just one tube of cold star potion can immediately increase the running-in degree to the limit..."
"Also, the resonance and tacit understanding between the operator and the armor will be greatly improved. The power exerted will be stronger than that of others..."
Yao Qing looked at Bai Xiao and began to introduce him.
"Although I don't know what you want so much mercury potion for..."
“But it’s a pleasure to work with you.”
She slowly stretched out her right hand and held it in the air.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
"Next time you have such a mission, you can continue to look for me."
Bai Xiao also extended his hand and the two shook hands.
Half an hour later.
Hanhai Hotel, in a quiet room.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
A tall figure walked in slowly, and with a pat of his strong hands, the lights came on. Bai Xiao closed the door with his backhand, carried the box, and walked to the French window.
He placed one in his left hand and one in his right hand on the carpet.
After a series of bloody battles, the time to reap the rewards has finally arrived.
Bai Xiao took off his shoes, and immediately sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and resting his mind. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes calmly.
With a click, the two boxes opened together.
In the left hand are three hypnotic props.
In the right hand are fifteen mercury potions and one cold star potion.
"Let's get started..."
He took a deep breath, stretched out his big hand, and grabbed to the left.
A gentle call from the bottom of my heart.
"Demon Bird Secret Book, Devour!"
Suddenly, a long bird cry that could pierce through gold and split rocks rang in my ears.
That ancient and wild aura instantly turned into a whistling black gas. The airflow directly enveloped the three hypnotic props, densely penetrating into them, making a sound like insects and ants gnawing on wood.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka…”
After a while, the hypnosis props shattered and turned into ashes on the spot.
The essence inside was completely devoured.
The black energy expanded greatly and suddenly returned to Bai Xiao's mind. His eyes lit up, his brows relaxed, and a stream of cool spring water seemed to wash down his forehead, making him feel comfortable. Gradually, stronger and stronger spiritual fluctuations lingered around him, bringing a kind of overflowing brilliance.
Bai Xiao let out a long breath of hot air and looked forward with bright eyes.
The will attribute has experienced another increase.
[Willpower: 120.1 → 124.1]
Four attributes, not bad.
After all, the stronger the attribute, the harder it is to improve.
These three hypnosis props were already a pleasant surprise.
Bai Xiao closed his eyes and paused for a moment.
He calmed down, looked straight ahead, and called out in his heart.
"Personal dashboard."
Suddenly, the armored knight profession quickly appeared on the retina.
[Skill: Black Blood Beast LV.1 (1/100)] (Beast)
[Skill: Blue Crystal Fire Demon LV.3 (3/800)] (Wing)
[Skills: Demon Series LV.1 (150/200)] (Double Wings)
[Skill: Crimson Knight LV.1 (1/250)] (Three Wings)
This is all the biological armor that White Owl now possesses.
Except for one black-blooded beast, the others were all wing-level, which was quite luxurious. If I ate all of them, I wondered if I would be too full.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his sight filled with the desire to eat.
"continue!"
Bai Xiao's mind moved, and he picked up the injection device next to him.
What followed was a difficult attempt.
He forcibly suppressed his peak strength and regulated his body's Qi and blood, further weakening the skin, which was already the weakest. Even so, he still broke several alloy needles before he could barely poke a tiny hole.
“Hiss…”
The mercury slowly flowed in, gradually bringing a stimulating effect.
The monster cells in his body began to cheer and seemed to be gradually becoming full and transparent. Waves of power were poured into them, triggering the original will, and an invisible momentum rose up, covering the whole person of Bai Xiao.
The originally long process of adjustment and improvement is now greatly shortened.
Bai Xiao's body turned slightly red, and a wisp of white heat slowly rose from his head. His dull heartbeat began to speed up. The monster cells and biological armor in his body changed rapidly under the effect of the potion.
The mercury potions were consumed one by one and gradually absorbed.
One, five, ten...
It was not until the last fourteen that Bai Xiao stopped moving.
In front of you, a large amount of career information is displayed.
[Your profession "Armor Knight", experience +905! ]
[Your skill "Black Blood Beast" has been upgraded to its limit! ]
[Your skill "Blue Crystal Fire Demon" has been upgraded to the limit! ]
[Your skill "Devil Series" has been raised to the limit! ]
Three sets of biological armor were all upgraded to the maximum level in an instant!
This time, the mercury potion was used. Unlike the last time, the biological armor that White Owl possessed was of a higher level, which was a world of difference. Last time, all of them were soldier-level or beast-level, but this time, most of them were wing-level.
The amount of mercury consumed in the medicine is naturally incomparable.
Fortunately, they were all upgraded to the maximum level in the end, with only one mercury potion left! Bai Xiao exhaled a breath of hot air, his eyes moved downward, and his sight was fixed.
[Profession: Armor Knight LV.2 (1075/1200)]
"I don't know if this last Lengxing potion is enough for upgrading."
He muttered to himself, then his eyes fixed.
He grabbed the purple potion that was as bright as the stars in the sky with one hand and injected it into his body.
Refined in an instant!
