The violent explosion sounded particularly clear in the desert night, and the sound alarmed living beings within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
Because it was a directional blast, a valley-like depression appeared in the center of the blast.
On the sand dune, an old man with torn robes and burnt body was seen, his chest heaving violently, breathing heavily.
His muscular body had swelled to the extreme, and his body surface shone with a layer of faint fighting spirit fluorescence. His long gray hair was messy and burnt. And his right arm was hanging down weakly, blood was dripping down the arm into the sand, and it looked like it was broken.
Rocky looked somewhere in the darkness, and the target he was chasing had completely lost track.
The martial arts master's eyes became very gloomy, and he murmured to himself gloomily: "Scheming boy, I haven't been injured like this in all these years."
Unable to hold back, another mouthful of scarlet blood spat out on the ground.
He quickly meditated cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
Not long after, a man in black robes rushed over from the darkness.
He looked at Grandmaster Rocky sitting on the sand and adjusting his breath, and was shocked: "Teacher, are you injured?"
This person is naturally Um.
Originally, he thought that his teacher would take action personally, and the mysterious man who had humiliated him before would definitely be caught.
Unexpectedly, before he even walked back to the camp, he heard an earth-shaking explosion.
Then he rushed over immediately, only to find that the injured person was actually his teacher!
I originally thought that my teacher had encountered a sneak attack by a top expert, but when I looked around, I saw no enemies. The yellow sand in the big pit was burnt and crystallized, and the air was filled with a strong smell of burnt gunpowder.
Obviously, this is the trace caused by the explosion of gunpowder.
Wumu's eyes became very solemn and confused.
I can’t figure out how much explosives must have exploded to leave such an exaggerated crater. I also can't understand that a transcendent person like my teacher could be injured by such "low-level means" as explosives
Only then did Wumu see Grandmaster Rocky's arms hanging down helplessly. He didn't dare to ask directly, and asked with concern: "Teacher, are you okay?"
Rocky shook his head, not intending to elaborate on his injuries.
He turned and said with a cold look: "Wum, you must be careful when you meet that guy in the future. If you can kill him immediately, you must not give him any chance... "
"is teacher."
After hearing this, Wu Mu vaguely guessed something and nodded.
Not long after, the night breeze blew gently.
Several ghost-like figures, also covered in black robes, also appeared on the edge of the explosion crater.
They looked at the injured Rocky and then looked at their surroundings, all equally puzzled.
The leading man in black robe frowned and asked: "Grandmaster Rocky, what happened? Did Bazel and the others show up?"
"no."
Rocky shook his head, with a slightly complicated look on his face, and said, "It's a long story. I was injured by the explosion..."
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say that he underestimated the enemy and was calculated, but in front of these powerful men of the same level, even if they didn't say it, the other party could guess it.
After hearing the entire injury process, the men in black robes looked even more shocked.
"What? You were actually injured by a bomb? How is it possible that... something like that can still threaten your existence at this level?"
But if you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it, but the facts are before everyone’s eyes.
After coming back to their senses, everyone began to analyze the information in Rocky's words.
"Listening to what you said, that kid is really weird. His fighting spirit and physical toughness... are so ridiculously strong that even a fourth-level transcendent can't reach them. Why does he feel like he's not like an ordinary person, but like a 'savage'? That exaggerated physique is more similar..."
"I think so. Such a fighting genius appeared out of nowhere. At least the fighting circles of the two empires and Glory City have never heard of it..."
"The imitation of that guy's martial arts style is still very strong. I suspect he may be the secret disciple of Qiang Hu from the 'Bahu Martial Arts School'."
"Qiang Hu's disciple? This is strange. I haven't received any news at all."
"..."
The big guys talked and began to speculate on the identity of the "crow mask man", but no one could give a convincing result.
Originally, a junior like Umu couldn't get involved in a conversation of this level.
He was thinking carefully about all the details of tonight, but suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he connected all the clues together.
A monster who is proficient in the secrets of the six movements, knows [Cannon Fist], and [Sky God Strike].
He can also blast the right arm of Senior Brother Nord wearing the famous glove [Storm Silver Scale Arm Armor] with one punch. Obviously, his protective gear is also extraordinary.
Suddenly, he realized why the trap looked so familiar.
Although some colors and structures have been changed, if you think about it carefully, you can still see that those eight achievements are the pair of [Kanapu's Sacred Gloves] that his sister exported during the gambling battle!
Wumu's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and he interjected: "Teacher, seniors! I think... I may know who that person was before!"
He suddenly thought that he should have met that guy before.
That was the person who killed his sister Feiya at the "Plague Hunting Base"!
... .
Luo Qi saw his disciple's face change dramatically and frowned slightly, seeming to mind this little impetuousness.
However, he also asked curiously: "Oh? Do you know the identity of that person?"
Wumu's expression became ugly, and he slowly recounted: "At the 'Plague Base', there was such a person next to [White Wolf] Bazel..."
He told his guess and everything that happened at the beginning, and finally added: "But at the beginning, that guy was just a first-level [Awakened One]... So, I didn't expect it to be that guy. But Now it seems... "
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the top extraordinary person next to him flashed with disbelief.
"What?"
Rocky was absolutely unbelievable and asked: "You mean... In less than a year, that guy has advanced to two major levels in a row. And when he was at the first level of transcendence, he was at least Have you mastered several arcane martial arts skills such as [Divine Walk], [Lanqi], and [Sky God Strike]?"
Although Wumu was unwilling to admit that there was someone with better fighting talent than him, it was the fact.
He nodded and said: "Yes, teacher. I witnessed it with my own eyes at that time."
If someone else had said this, Rocky would definitely not believe this "counterintuitive" statement.
Mysterious martial arts are called "mysterious skills" because they are difficult to learn. How could someone be able to master them at the first level
What's more, there is also the [Sky God Strike], which is said to be the most difficult among the "Six Styles"? That kind of martial arts, below the third level, there is no way to reach the threshold!
But it happened that the person who said this was his most proud disciple, so naturally it couldn't be false.
Although after the previous chase, Rocky naturally did not regard the man in the crow mask as an ordinary fighter, he was still surprised to hear the news.
At this time, a man in black robe suddenly said: "This way, I probably remembered it..."
... .
When the entire plague base was wiped out, there were only a few survivors.
But besides Wumu, there was only one other person present.
That was the man in black robe who spoke, the current king of Glory City, Kipling Winster.
Speaking of the plague base, he was naturally impressed.
After all, the destruction of the "Plague Base" was directly related to him.
However, it is hard to say much about selling the base and escaping.
He evaded the important point and said: "Bazel did appear in the 'Plague Base' at that time... I have no impression of the boy you mentioned. However, in this way, this powerful bomb... I probably know who made it That’s it.”
After the incident, Kipling specially sent people to the plague base and was relieved when he found that no one was alive. After all, this is about the reputation of their Glory City.
At that time, almost all the "barbarian" masters came out, and he was sure that even the "Top Ten Legends" would definitely die.
But he never expected that Bazel would survive and even get involved with the "barbarians"!
Although, Kipling suspected that Bazel had been controlled by "barbarians" using witchcraft and evil methods. But none of that matters anymore, they are all enemies now anyway.
But unexpectedly, in addition to Bazel, another "mysterious mechanic" who was originally thought to be dead also appeared.
... .
After listening to Kipling's description of the bomb maker, a man in black robes asked in surprise: "In addition to the Royal Academy of Omar, there is actually a fourth 'Grand Mechanical Master'?"
"Yes."
Kipling also felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and said with a complicated expression: "Furthermore, judging from the information I got, the mysterious mechanic who suddenly appeared may have a higher level than the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences. At that time, he was working with Bazel Mixed together... I can only imagine that this powerful and bizarre bomb was made by that mysterious mechanic."
Um also remembered this.
When the beast wave attacked the city, a mysterious "Mechanical Grand Master" appeared who was killing everyone!
The mecha that transcended its time is still fresh in his memory. He originally thought that the mechanic was dead, but now it seems that they are all still alive!
Thinking about it, he felt that he should tell everything he knew, and then said: "Teacher, seniors, I have also witnessed the battle of that mysterious mechanic. The six-armed mecha he controlled could kill him in one encounter. The fifth-level [Golden Bull] is very powerful..."
After explaining this in detail, all the men in black robes fell silent.
A mechanic with strength comparable to the 'Top Ten Legends'
When did the mechanic become so strong
Mecha? When did that clumsy iron lump be able to kill the top level Warcraft [Golden Bull] in a single face-to-face encounter
Everyone present is top-notch and extraordinary, with top-notch combat power that can ignore any mechanical equipment.
But they ask themselves, no one can be so calm in that kind of beast tide, and no one can kill that kind of top-level monster in one face to face.
Strange things happened one after another.
First a fighting monster appeared out of thin air, and now a mysterious mechanic who can crush Omar technology appears
Everyone felt a little confused.
But one thing they can be sure of is that these people are all enemies!
At this time, a man in black robe sighed: "Now it seems that our troubles are getting more and more... A top mechanic may be able to bring me more help than the Barbarian and the simple-minded Bazel." It will cause even bigger trouble. It’s like this kind of ‘bomb’... If it’s bigger, maybe even the Machinery City can be blown up!”
"yes"
"..."
Everyone agreed.
Although this kind of bomb is very powerful, it does not pose much of a threat to top experts like them once they are prepared.
But for Mechanical City and low-level transcendent beings... this thing is simply a killer weapon.
It was originally thought that the barbarians were no threat except for a few high-end combat forces. Now it seems that things are developing in an unpredictable direction.
Technology is something that can make low-level extraordinary people possible, but it can also threaten the possibility of high-level extraordinary people.
When thinking about this problem, the one with the ugliest expression was King Kipling.
Not to mention force attacks, bomb attacks every day are enough to keep their "Glorious Kingdom" on tenterhooks all day long.
Now that there are so many refugees, if the enemy really wants to use this method, it will be a disaster.
However, those are things to consider later.
Apparently there's another big problem at hand.
"Right now, we think we may have a big trouble. Since that kid has a close relationship with Bazel, so if he appears here, maybe... the barbarian Great Witch Festival and Bazel are nearby! "
"Yes! The boy acted so decisively and did not give any room for negotiation. He must have guessed the identity of Grand Master Rocky and Wumu early on, and knew that surrender would lead to death. The key now is to let the boy escape. We We have to consider that Bazel and the others have got the news. So, the important thing is, if that is really the case, how should we deal with it... "
"Then we surround and kill them here?"
"I don't think it's a good choice. Bazel is good at attacking werewolves in the wilderness. You can't keep him at all in the wilderness. To deal with that kind of existence, you can only use traps. Otherwise, you saw the Omar royal family in Storm Lake last time You made such a big move to encircle and suppress him, did you kill him?"
"Bazel is so troublesome, there is a mysterious woman, and the even more troublesome barbarian Great Witch Festival... It is definitely not a good choice to confront Tam in the wasteland."
"I think the exploration of the ruins must stop now. Leave the rest to the people below. Anyway, if we really find a 'divine power crystal' or something, it will eventually fall into our hands. If we rush in again If you go exploring the underground palace, you may be easily plotted..."
"Yes, I agree."
"..."
... .
On the other hand.
Ren didn't dare to look back all the way, running wildly into the darkness, taking off his clothes and changing clothes, spraying anti-tracking deodorant, marking dispersion, and divination interference.
As the Lord of Black Dragon City, among other things, he is good at various high-level props.
With one set of operations, he eliminated almost any possibility of being tracked.
After running for dozens of kilometers, I finally stopped.
Then he changed his outfit, looked for a direction, and went there.
A few hours later, they stopped near the ruins of an ancient city.
He did not get close to the ancient city, but stayed far away and observed carefully with a telescope for a long time, but he did not find any marks left by the agreement.
"It looks like Catherine and the others didn't come. Could it be that they were caught or killed?"
Ren frowned as he looked at it.
This ruins was the meeting place they agreed upon when they broke out. Calculating the time, if Catherine and the others break out, they will arrive first if they can.
But not now.
That means something unexpected happened.
However, Renn didn't think too much and did everything he had to do.
After all, no one would have thought that an ordinary night roundup by the enemy would actually have top-level supernatural beings hiding in the wilderness hunting team.
Putting down the binoculars, he thought about the life-and-death pursuit before, and felt a little frightened. He murmured: "I didn't expect Rocky Refal to be hiding in the team..."
However, since he survived, people can see the good side of the terrible things.
For Renn, the enemy emerged from the darkness, and many problems no longer threatened him.
His thoughts were racing in his mind, and he thought: "If that guy Umu wasn't stupid, he should have guessed that I was the one who killed his sister at the 'Plague Base'. Those guys would definitely know that I and Ba Zell's relationship. Tsk... I guess those old guys are discussing countermeasures and are on guard against being counterattacked. Now that the bomb has caused such an incident, if it were me, I would definitely not dare to do it rashly again... "
Originally the enemy was in darkness and we were in darkness, but now the identities of the two sides suddenly changed.
The other person surfaces, and the hunter becomes the prey.
It was no longer possible to explore the ruins secretly. Naturally, they had to worry about being ambushed by Ren's masters.
In the wasteland, no one can keep existences like Bazel and Mafa Great Witch Festival.
Renn can predict that no matter how many masters come to Glory City, the more cunning and cunning they are, the more cautious they will be.
"It seems that those guys will probably not stay in the ruins anymore. Instead, they should stay away from them, put all their chips on the auction in two months, and give it all their best..."
Ren's eyes turned and he suddenly felt the same.
Thinking of this, it was no longer necessary to run away as far away as I originally planned.
On the contrary, it is safer near the ruins.
His previous face was indeed remembered, and it was even on the black market's wanted list. But now the face after the disguise is very safe. After changing clothes, I am immediately a brand new "stranger", and I can go anywhere in the world.
"Tsk... It seems that we still need to go to the ruins."
Thinking of this, Ren planned to wander around the ruins after dawn.
One is to see if we can find a chance to save Catherine and the others in case they are not dead.
The second thing is that he has no intention of giving up on the ruins.
Thirdly, being surrounded and chased by others made him feel angry. He also wanted to give those guys a surprise.
... ..
Ren meditated all night near the sand dunes, but still didn't wait for Catherine and the others.
At dawn, he changed into ordinary hunter clothes and traveled alone in the direction of the ruins.
Renn still wanted to repeat his old trick, find a hunting group to sneak in first, and get an identity that would not be suspected.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry and searched for a suitable hunting group.
It's a coincidence.
At noon, he suddenly heard the rumble of a locomotive.
After climbing up the sand dune and observing, he actually saw a large hunting team of tens of thousands of people through the telescope.
Judging from the direction they were traveling, they seemed to be heading towards the pyramid-dense area in the northwest.
Through the telescope, he carefully distinguished the decorations of the hunting team.
There are a lot of people and the various small groups are very mixed, so it is best to mix in.
"It looks like a miscellaneous hunting group... It's strange, how come so many small hunting groups gather together to hunt?"
Seeing this, Renn also had some doubts in his heart.
There are ruins of ancient cities all over the place. Small hunting groups should make their own fortunes, so how can they get together and go on the road? Is it some kind of centralized task
However, when he turned around, Ren saw that the leading motorcycle riders were all wearing uniforms, with the "Moon and Scepter" flag hanging prominently.
He recognized it at a glance: "The royal flag of the 'Rosas Family'?"
The "Rosas Family" of the five major families in Glory City is now one of the five major royal families in the Glory Kingdom.
The pomp of the aristocracy in this world is very particular. How many flags, how many guards, ceremony officers, attendants... People who understand aristocratic etiquette can recognize it at a glance.
A team like the one in front of them means at least a "prince" or "princess" type of travel appearance.
Moreover, what Ren didn't expect was that he actually saw an acquaintance in the team!
"Guy?"
Ren glared and looked at the sloppy middle-aged man locked in an iron cage. Isn't it the [Sword of Justice] Guy Vilias whom he just separated from not long ago!
"How did this guy get caught? Could it be that the identity of the SSS bounty criminal was exposed?"
Renn looked at Guy who was a prisoner, his face became very confused, and thought: "That shouldn't be the case. That guy is obviously a master, how could he be captured?"
Moreover, what about the daughter he picked up, the little girl Naretta from the "cursed clan"
Does anyone dare to touch them
After thinking about it, Renn walked towards the sand dune.
