Chapter 560 Qinglong is not at home
Zorro only felt a burning pain in his retina, as if there was an invisible spectral impact, and his tear glands gushed out tears uncontrollably.
Less than five meters in front of him, a black line the size of a hair appeared, cutting a jagged trajectory in the air.
The edge of the crack continued to emit a black glow and expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This TM..." Zorro's heart trembled, veins popped on his forehead. Years of living on the edge of a knife had given him subconscious reactions that were faster than his thinking speed.
The moment the crack appeared, he wanted to turn around and run away, or even make a big noise.
However, along with the cracks, there was also a layer of energy field. Within the coverage area, it was as if the gravity had been increased countless times, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Even if he tried his best, he could hardly move at all.
What surprised him even more was that as the cracks expanded, the metal ground in his sight took on a wave shape, as if it had turned into liquid, surging continuously.
The high-energy particle flow seeping out from inside is rewriting the parameters of the surrounding space.
But Zorro had never seen such a scene before. He suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, or that everything happening before his eyes was an illusion.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a few "small mechanical bodies" running towards him in groups of two or three. They were not tall, basically less than one meter, and their shells were colorful.
A flame of hope suddenly emerged in Zoro's heart. He knew that those small mechanical bodies were called "children" by other mechanical bodies.
It was difficult for him to understand how a child could be born between machines.
But right now, this is his lifeline. He prays that these mechanical children will not be like ordinary naughty children.
When you see something so strange, you should go find an adult first instead of joining in the fun.
However, what made him despair was that the group of little guys neither came to join in the fun nor went to find the adults, and turned a blind eye to the scene happening here.
With a jump of three meters, she quickly disappeared from his sight.
This energy field may have some hidden properties.
Zorro understood that this was the territory of the Mechanical Royal Court protected by the boss Qinglong. If someone really wanted to launch an attack here, they must be well prepared.
While he was in a state of confusion, the black crack in front of him had expanded to two meters, with black arcs of electricity bursting out from the edges, and the strange scene around him also calmed down.
Immediately afterwards, under his gaze, a stream of light poured out from the black crack, and when it came into contact with the space here, it quickly expanded into a solid figure.
He was a male human with a solemn expression, wearing simple black combat armor with an extremely refined matte finish.
The surface is covered with fine anti-scanning patterns, which, under strong light, will reflect broken light spots similar to old camouflage.
Zoro's heart trembled, and then two figures appeared, one on the left and one on the right, a man and a woman, each wearing silver and crimson armor.
The three of them glanced at Zoro, seemingly not surprised that there was someone here, nor did they take him seriously.
"I didn't expect that the defense array of the Mechanical Royal Court would be so difficult to break through." The man in black armor looked around vigilantly.
"After all, this is the planetary defense array left by the Hammersmith. According to the data, only sixteen nodes have been strengthened so far, and it's not yet at its peak..." The scarlet-armored woman responded.
"If we wait until the Mechanical Royal Court's defense array is fully constructed, even a space drill will find it difficult to successfully break through."
The guy in silver armor shook his head indifferently: "Forging Hammer is dead. Can the defensive array he left behind still be invincible?"
The three of them were chatting here as if no one was around. The man in black armor seemed to be the leader, called Night Owl, and the other two were called Silver Fox and Chi Lian, which were obviously code names.
Zorro became more and more desperate. His damn luck was getting more and more horrible. Judging from the tone of these three guys, they must not be ordinary people.
Of course Zorro also knew that these guys definitely did not come for him, but he witnessed it with a very small probability, and he was sure that they would not have a good ending in the end.
Where's Boss Qinglong? Why hasn't he appeared yet? Hasn't he noticed them?
“…Qinglong isn’t that great, he didn’t even notice us.” Silver Fox said casually.
Night Owl frowned: "Let's get started. This Mechanical Royal Court has long ceased to exist..."
Zorro's heart trembled. These guys wanted to destroy the entire Mechanical Royal Court?
He was heartbroken, his body had just been repaired.
After waiting for a long time, the three guys didn't make any move. They looked at each other and Ye Xiao said, "It seems that Qinglong has really left."
"Huh?" Zorro was confused, and saw the three figures in front of him suddenly disintegrate.
Then the black crack began to tremble, and a pair of rough big hands grabbed the edge of the crack and suddenly expanded it.
Three more figures walked out, also wearing combat armor, and their appearance was exactly the same as the three scattered figures just now.
Were those three just now fake and just used as a test?
Zorro finally reacted and was stunned. He was so cautious. Then he smiled bitterly. Behind this caution was his fear of the Qinglong boss.
However, after their testing, they have confirmed that Boss Qinglong is not in the Mechanical Royal Court.
This time we are really doomed, even though we were so well prepared.
The string of nonsense and contempt just now was just waiting for Qinglong to react and come in person. The three of them didn't say a word and their expressions were still alert.
Silver Fox looked at Zorro in front of him, raising his armored arm as if scanning for features.
"...There's no information about this person in the Mechanical Royal Court's records?" Silver Fox was a little surprised. "Night Owl, what should we do with him? Should we kill him?"
Zoro's heart was pounding as he stared at the black armored man.
Night Owl said indifferently, "We are ordered not to kill people casually. Apart from the main target, if we encounter other arrestable targets, we will capture them as well."
Fortunately... fortunately, he was not killed directly, Zoro breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good opportunity to ask him if Li Ming is here?" Zi Yuan walked out.
Before Zoro could even react, he saw the woman standing in front of him, her pupils glowing red.
He didn't even have time to react before he lost consciousness and fell into darkness. His expression was numb and his eyes were unfocused.
"Where is Li Ming?" Chi Lian asked in a deep voice.
"Heavenly Palace..." Zuo Luomu replied in a dull voice. Everyone's expression changed. Silver Fox breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that this trip was not in vain."
Night Owl looked up at the palace hanging in the sky with a serious expression: "Let's go, Chi Lian, don't give him any chance."
There was a crimson glow in Chi Lian's pupils, and he said calmly, "With Qinglong gone, Li Ming is a sure thing."
What they feared was the Azure Dragon, not an S-class life form.
Night Owl frowned and reminded: "Be careful."
The numb Zorro was engulfed by them, and silver energy particles surged from the Silver Fox's body.
It gradually covered the three people, forming an energy field, and disappeared without a trace.
…
In the Heavenly Palace, Li Ming had just finished absorbing this batch of metal energy, and the balance had reached 2.1 billion.
"Anyway, it's enough." He pondered, opened the smart terminal, and looked through the information reports from Blackbeard, Anduin and others.
It is worth mentioning that Chlonoa also has a smart terminal and took the initiative to contact him once.
At first, he was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and found it normal.
Only more than half a month had passed since the previous anonymous meeting, and more than one collision had already occurred in the deep dimensional world.
It's not a clash with the Empire, but with the X-class life forms that are going there, and many of them have life-and-death feuds with each other.
At present, the situation is still relatively restrained and no one is risking their lives, but it shows how complicated the situation is.
"Pack up and get ready to go." Li Ming looked at the latest coordinates.
He didn't need to waste time. It wouldn't be too late to go there after everything was ready.
However, just as he walked out of the metal corridor and arrived at the central hall, his footsteps suddenly stopped and his expression changed slightly.
There was a sudden stabbing pain in the brain, as if invaded by a foreign object. A red curtain of light covered the eyes, and the world was spinning around. I felt like I was about to fall into a drowsy state.
"Where does this mental attack come from?" Li Ming's heart was in turmoil.
This mental attack came too suddenly and was so intense that he had almost no ability to resist, and his vision suddenly went dark.
But at this moment, [Nightmare Wreath] was activated, and some bumps appeared on the smooth metal wreath surface in the control column.
Li Ming, on the other hand, seemed to be suddenly awakened by a basin of ice water in a daze. The scarlet light curtain in front of him shattered, and he was already awake.
At the same time, some fluctuations appeared in the void not far away.
Li Ming's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not fight back at the first moment. He realized that someone was sneaking in.
But he knew nothing about his background or strength. Moreover, this was his home base, so it was not suitable for a fight here.
As his mind raced, the control panel opened, and he took out the [Earth-Shaking Fist] and replaced it with the [False Mask].
In the next moment, the red light curtain surged again, but the mimic spirit body had already covered it.
Li Ming's true consciousness is hiding in the deepest part.
"Success..." a voice came from the void.
Immediately afterwards, a silver light flashed, and four figures gradually emerged.
"Four guys actually sneaked in." Li Ming was quite surprised.
The planetary defense array left by the Hammersmith is no exaggeration. It now has sixteen reinforced planetary nodes, enough to withstand a 500X single attack head-on, and there are even space monitors inside.
Ordinary X-level life forms do not have the ability to get in.
In other words, the person who took action must be extraordinary, and several suspects subconsciously emerged in his mind.
He stared at the guys in front of him and captured a lot of information. Although these guys were X-level life forms, their life strength was very low and they were X-level goalkeepers.
However, he had never seen any of them, so it was difficult to lock onto the target directly.
We have to wait a little longer... Li Ming is very familiar with this kind of scene and still did not take any action.
With his current strength, he is able to kill these X-level life forms in seconds.
However, he could kill the person instantly, but he did not have the corresponding means of imprisonment and interrogation. He could only let the mechanical guards guard him closely. If he could not get the truth from the interrogation, he would have to kill him.
These guys are just pawns. He needs to figure out who is behind this.
"No, there's another one called Zorro. Was he also caught?"
Li Ming had a strange look on his face, and then he realized that one of them was the dull-faced Zorro.
"Chi Lian, what happened just now?" Ye Xiao looked at Chi Lian who was frowning beside him.
Chi Lian kneaded his brows, his expression very unhappy. "It seems that he has some kind of mental defense device in his body, and he fought back. It should have been left by Qinglong, but it should be damaged now."
She was a little suspicious. The intensity of the counterattack was not high, but it surprised her.
The nature of it was as if it was trying to bewitch her, which was very strange.
"The device left by Qinglong?" Ye Xiao's expression changed slightly. "Since it's already destroyed, perhaps Qinglong will sense it. Let's leave quickly."
The man in silver armor next to him shook his head. "In places like the deep dimensional world, the signal is extremely unstable. It should be difficult to receive it immediately."
Li Ming captured the key information, "Do they know Qinglong is going to the deep dimensional world?"
Not many people know about this, including Blackbeard, Anduin, and Klonoa...
As he was thinking, the other party had already thrown out a metal device. The moment it landed on him, the metal structure opened up, forming a spine-shaped restraint at his back, as well as shackles between his hands and feet.
The sound of gears meshing was heard, and a large number of capillary probes protruded from both sides of the restraint. These hollow needles drilled into the subcutaneous tissue in a spiral path.
Release gene inhibitors along the way to curb the genetic characteristics of the evolved body.
"Let's go..." Ye Niao shackled Li Ming with energy.
Although the target had been caught, the three men still did not relax their vigilance, but carefully concealed their bodies.
When I arrived at the place I had just been to, the expanded black crack had returned to the size of a hair.
The silver fox walked forward and inserted a finger into it, as if conducting some kind of verification. After a moment, the crack suddenly expanded.
"The space channel came directly to my home." Li Ming watched without much excitement.
He has defensive means, and the enemy also has offensive means. The Mechanical Royal Court has been developed for too short a time, and its foundation is a big problem.
The three of them entered one after another. After they disappeared, the space crack slowly shrank until it disappeared completely.
Li Ming's main consciousness was hidden deep inside, looking at the outside scene. He was surrounded by extremely sophisticated instruments.
They were now standing on a platform, above which were slender metal pillars with twelve-sided crystal structures at the ends, covered with ever-proliferating scales.
The various people below looked at them with tense expressions.
"Synchronize jump and prepare to leave here." Night Owl gave the order.
The people around began to move in an orderly and silent manner, obviously having received professional training.
"Prepare to inspect the target..." Night Owl turned around and said to a key person in charge.
"Understood. We're ready." The other party nodded, and someone came over carrying a metal box.
Buzz—as white mist gushed out, a scarlet compass was taken out by him.
