CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 406: THE HUSTLERS SECT RETURN, MEMBERS +2
"Whoosh!"
Su Qi’s figure zoomed through mid-air, hurtling towards his destination at breakneck speed. His Spiritual Energy propelled everything, ruthlessly crushing all sorts of Demons and Pollution Monsters encountered along the way.
A hundred kilometers was not a distance you could simply cover by doing the splits.
Meanwhile, Xiao Meng was constantly updating the frequency display.
[Frequency is systematically dropping, expected to completely disappear in ten minutes]
"In that case, this isn’t fast enough."
Su Qi paused, mulling over the use of Divine Artifacts, but with a slight squint, he felt a strange gaze emanating from among the dense array of Demon Eyes in the Sky Dome.
He didn’t immediately use one, gently saying, "Xiao Ou, do you have a way to speed this up?"
The doll looked on in shock at Su Qi’s explosive speed.
"This isn’t fast enough?"
Surely he must have used some Immortal-Level Equipment! Such astonishing speed!
"Not enough."
A hundred kilometers in ten minutes wasn’t easy to quickly cover.
Xiao Ou hesitated, "There is a way."
"Then bring it forth."
"But you’ll need to take out the Fantasy Stone so I can activate it."
"Fine."
Su Qi smiled, decisively catching the doll off guard.
Wait a minute?
He so easily handed it over?
Su Qi’s smile was harmless, as if devoid of any scrutiny or guard.
The doll’s mind was racing.
What an opportunity!
-----------------
At this very moment,
in that same eerily dangerous place.
Within a concealed cave in the canyon,
only half of Shandian remained, its mechanical body sizzling with electricity and sparks, seemingly on the brink of death and immobile.
And the screen flashed several characters.
[Why won’t you just leave...]
Jiang Zhi’s voice was grave, "How the hell could I leave you alone here?"
"I am Jiang Zhi!!"
Shandian crackled, the screen slowly posing a question.
[Do not understand, does this name have a meaning?]
"No meaning, just talking nonsense because my brain’s a mess," Jiang Zhi grumbled, "Anyway you’re a member of The Hustlers, and so am I. I sure as hell won’t abandon a comrade."
Shandian paused, it wanted to say it never became a member of The Hustlers, but it just ended up displaying a series of ellipsis on the screen.
"Quick, Shandian, tell me how to connect this. I’ve fixed my electric Fiji Cup before, so I refuse to believe I can’t fix this!"
Jiang Zhi frantically searched over Shandian’s body, desperately attempting to reconnect severed wires.
When that terrifying creature appeared, it was Shandian that saved him; otherwise, it would have been him lying there.
So,
he wouldn’t abandon Shandian, damn it... can these wires be reconnected? It’s too complicated to understand!
Instead, a "zapping" sound, a surge of electricity jolted through him, causing his hair to stand on end!
Shandian’s screen characters flickered.
[Give up, my chip is damaged, you won’t be able to fix it, not even Lord Bai Qixing would be able to.]
Jiang Zhi cursed and swore, "Shut up, damn it, there’s always a way."
At that moment,
a sudden noise came from outside, and the air seemed to be compressed, stirring up a gust of wind.
Jiang Zhi’s face darkened, his eyes showing a mix of wariness and caution.
He immediately lowered his voice
and peered outside.
Had that terrifying creature returned?
And at the entrance of the cave, a tall shadow appeared!
Without any hesitation, a weapon materialized in Jiang Zhi’s hand!
"Don’t worry, I’ll take you and escape, finding Mr. Nancy. He’s from the technologically advanced Everday Commerce, he must have a way."
But the next moment,
a soft voice reached them, "No, he doesn’t have any way at all."
Jiang Zhi’s eyes widened in shock at the sound of that voice.
He looked at the figure stepping in, his pupils dilating, "Su Buxian!"
Su Qi revealed a smile, "You should call me Sect Leader."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Zhi rubbed his eyes, somewhat confused and disbelieving, "You actually made it here too."
What do you mean I made it here?
I just dived for a bit and got kicked out of the group?
"No, I mean, why are you here!"
He was somewhat agitated and then suddenly paused, "And... why do you look like that?"
Currently, Su Qi was enveloped in what seemed like smoke, with clouds constantly forming beneath his feet as though he was standing on them.
"Is that a nimbus cloud or what!" Jiang Zhi was astonished.
"Now is not the time to talk about this..." Su Qi calmly shifted his gaze toward Shandian:
"Poor old Shandian, about to crash."
At this moment, Shandian looked utterly miserable. Although it lacked flesh and blood, its mechanical parts were shattered and it seemed on the verge of short-circuiting any moment.
Jiang Zhi quickly said, "Right, Shandian is in a bit of a bad way, Su Buxian, can you contact Lord Bai Qixing?"
"I can’t get in touch." replied Su Qi. "But don’t worry, I can handle it."
Jiang Zhi was taken aback.
He could solve it?
"After all, I used to be a doctor, with a professional license."
"That’s great... great my ass!" Jiang Zhi’s eyes bulged, "This is machinery, what does that have to do with being a doctor!"
But Su Qi was already stepping towards Shandian, reaching out to tap Shandian’s casing.
"It looks like you’re in quite a bad shape."
"You don’t say!!"
Shandian was also bewildered, probably close to short-circuiting, even the characters hastily displayed on the screen were intermittent.
[You... have dealt with... chips, must know once damaged... hard to fix... so give up...]
"Have a little faith in me, I’ve already told you I’m a professional." Su Qi said as he took out a pair of pliers:
"Usually you’re supposed to cut the red wire, right?"
