CHAPTER 713: CHAPTER 434: TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD, MECHA AND AWAKENING

Boom!!

Red and white beams tore through the night sky, illuminating the heavens.

All the people in Lenghuan City looked up at the sky, almost thinking it was daytime.

It wasn’t until dozens of seconds later that the daylight slowly faded away.

Night fell again, with one large and one small moon hanging high, surrounded by myriad stars.

The circular battleship spanning the sky was still in a state of alert, multiple colored rings transmitting energy, ready at any moment for a stunning strike.

The few black towers at the center had unknowingly activated force field protection, raising blue beams that converged in mid-air to form a massive barrier enveloping the entire city.

"What’s going on?"

"Could it be that a legion intends to attack our Lenghuan City?"

"To alarm the warship and activate a city-wide alert, could the Ancient Empire be launching a new war?!"

Voices filled with surprise and doubt arose within the city, spreading panic and worry like a tide.

During this time, a dozen elite exploration teams were dispatched to the previous high-altitude area and the corresponding wasteland outside the city.

The wreckage of a dozen flying devices had fallen here, with small flames still burning on metal scraps and components.

The mechanical intelligent warriors, the backbone of the city’s defense force, were reduced to scorched fragments, with the ground outside the city pitted and the soil overturned.

This scene was transmitted to the battleship inside the city, visibly teeming with figures inside.

Elite warriors in combat uniforms or nanometer battle armor moved back and forth, with various virtual screens and keyboards hovering throughout.

Particularly in the central control room, various photon signals were rapidly sent and received, while analysis reports simultaneously appeared, providing various data deductions.

"The target’s life wave has completely disappeared, initially suspected to have left, and no traces were found within three kilometers outside the city."

"The entire mechanical squadron was annihilated, with the central controller and armament carriers all destroyed...."

"Three mecha defense members have been confirmed dead, the mecha damage rate is one hundred percent, recovery failed...."

A gentle female voice sounded, and upon closer inspection, it was a virtual electronic figure floating in the cabin.

Seemingly humanoid, with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a tight blue leather outfit, but in reality, she was the highest authority holder of the battleship, a genuine advanced intelligence.

"Such an attack, even a Realm-level mecha would be severely damaged, and the opponent could block it?"

The battleship’s commander asked in a deep voice, quite burly.

A black battle armor covered most of his body, only the head with short hair exposed, his cold, hard face looked over forty years old.

"He indeed blocked it."

The intelligent female voice sounded again, and the virtual figure clicked on the screen, enlarging it hundreds of times.

Within the red and white beams, a Red Gold Shield seemed to rapidly condense into a metal round shield.

Though cracks were densely packed within, ultimately, it failed to completely destroy the opponent.

"Is he also a mecha user?"

The commander of the battleship frowned and asked.

"No."

The virtual intelligence shook her head, switching to multiple images.

Red gold flames, high-temperature burning... three star core-level mecha users were almost instantly killed.

"Based on current information, the other party is highly likely a stranger Awakener wielding abilities akin to flames."

"Possessing burning, high temperature, and explosive traits, with extremely high physical strength, and also possessing Realm-level nanometer metal weapons, the danger level is tentatively estimated as S-Class, I have reported to the Deep Web...."

Line after line of analysis appeared endlessly, the atmosphere inside the battleship somewhat heavy.

S-Class danger level, enough to lead to a disaster that could destroy the main city.

Moreover, at such a critical time.

Immediately, amidst the silence, the battleship’s chief commander asked the question everyone was most concerned about, his face solemn.

"Who exactly is he?"

"Could he be a high-ranking Awakener sent by the Assassin Court of the Ancient Empire?"

"Currently, there’s no information to ascertain the true identity of the opponent."

The virtual intelligence shook her head, then swiftly tapped out numerous pieces of information on the virtual keyboard with lightning-fast fingers.

"However... I have already reported this matter to headquarters."

"The Deep Web has responded, about to intervene in the investigation, and will employ a higher level of Sky Dome lockdown, to track and trace."

"I believe it won’t take long to find the opponent, capture, and detain them...."

.....

Tap!

Crushing dry leaves, Chen Feng stepped on the muddy ground, coming to a halt.

Looking around, it was a green wilderness, with a ruined town not far away.

Steel Bones forming his armor were riddled with cracks, heavily damaged, consuming his physical strength as it self-repaired, slowly being absorbed back into his body.

"Indeed, there’s something to it."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng thought to himself that the technological power of this realm was indeed extraordinary.

With just a Third Rank True Intent Level’s flesh, the intensity of consciousness was quite ordinary, yet with mecha, they reached the Flying General Level.

On Blue Star, this would be utterly impossible.

To become a Flying General Level Transformed person, not only do you need to implant numerous transformation modules in the body, replaced by machinery, but the intensity of consciousness also needs to undergo transformation, reaching a certain level to bear it.

And that disc-shaped, suspected to emit laser cannon attacks, is a giant warship, along with the city-enveloping barrier that shielded his Perception, also feels somewhat unusual.

He suspects there’s a Legendary Level, possibly an angel-level mecha powerhouse lurking there.

Because of this, he didn’t rush to fight hard, nor did he immediately summon the Holy Shield Giant.

No matter how much confidence and assurance, sufficient information is necessary, he plans to learn more about this world.

Besides.

"I always feel something’s off..."

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Feng looked up at the night sky.

Star clusters, thousands upon thousands.

Two moons, one large, one small, hung high; the former’s waxing and waning seemed normal, but the latter was bright and luminous, nearly a perfect sphere.

This inexplicably made him feel a bit odd.

Too perfect, too unaccustomed.

He hadn’t seen such a night sky in a long time, whether on Earth Star or any other Secret Realm World, they all fell short.

He didn’t dwell on it too much.

Chen Feng soon suppressed his sigh and looked at the panel in front of him.

Only a hundred points of Power of the Dead were lost, he estimated that without activating the Black Dream Mark, he should be able to stay for about three days.

And besides that.

[Steel Bones LV6: 50/100]

[Heart of Glory LV6: 6/100]

The progress of Steel Bones is quite normal. Although the metal materials of those three mechas are not as good as those of the Peak Flying General, missing the blend of super high-level metals like Rainbow Iron, they are not far off from Star-level Vajra, barely holding some value.

However, the growth of Heart of Glory is exceptionally slow, almost unchanged.

After all, the Holy Shield Giant has already broken through to the level of Lower-Rank Envoy, and battles at the Flying General Level present no difficulty at all.

The meager progress made was primarily due to that battle at the Black Tide, facing the real Evil God Angel directly, which left some Glory Value after the upgrade, pushing the progress forward slightly.

But this isn’t the focus of Chen Feng’s attention at this moment.

Because...

[Green Armor LV7: 92/100]

"As expected... the quality is too low."

Chen Feng shook his head, verifying his hypothesis.

When eliminating that defense team, although those Mechanical Intelligent Warriors showed no emotional fluctuations, those three mecha warriors did provide him some nourishment.

However...

"These mecha warriors, although reaching the Flying General Level in destructive power and defensive power."

"In essence, they are still just slightly stronger humans... the Fear Value they provided was also far inferior in quality to this level."

Pensively, Chen Feng once again realized the difference in technology between this realm and Earth Star.

He also thought about the keywords given by the defense captain, Kelder, before his death.

Taiduo Country and the Ancient Empire.

War, Peace Fortress, Silence Ordinance....

Chen Feng had some guesses, but it was a pity that the warship attack came too quickly earlier, preventing him from keeping the intelligent devices of those mecha warriors.

Otherwise, he might have gotten some gains.

"Never mind, even if I kept those devices, they might have left traces for tracking."

"Moreover, with the language barrier, it may even be difficult to decipher and manipulate them."

Shaking his head, Chen Feng then amplified Perception, looking towards this Wilderness.

This place is over ten kilometers away from that Lenghuan City.

Short hills rise and fall, dense with green trees, various vines and wild grasses growing rampant.

Many places were pitted and muddy like swamps, with some wild beasts roaming the Wilderness, their forms having significant differences with those on Earth Star, and their life aura was distinctly higher.

Looking down at the muddy wasteland, several traces of tires were visible.

Looking along the way, a hundred meters ahead was a bumpy asphalt road, full of cracks, stretching across the Wilderness.

At its end was a ruined and desolate town, only a patch of blackness hidden in the night could be seen, emitting faint light.

"Someone?"

With a thought, Chen Feng stepped forward.

Wild grass collapsed in patches, with Snake Pythons lurking in the darkness, their emerald beastly eyes fixed on Chen Feng’s every move.

Rustle...

The night wind blew through, rustling the leaves of the Green Field trees.

Chen Feng walked slowly forward; the gravity here was similar to Earth Star, and even without activating the Heart of Life, his Physical Strength quickly recovered thanks to his strong physique.

After walking for several seconds like this, he paused.

Chen Feng stood before a muddy pit, only seven or eight meters away from the asphalt road.

The vine-entwined trees were gnarled and robust, requiring four or five people to encircle one.

At the other end of the asphalt road appeared two points of light.

Buzz!!

The sound of engines roaring came with the night wind, getting nearer and nearer.

Chen Feng looked in that direction, observing a black-gray pickup truck speeding toward them.

The vehicle was mottled, with rust and dents.

Four people sat inside, vigilant expressions on their faces, all of them male.

Wearing either leather jackets or camouflage pants with crew neck long sleeves, most of them were armed with submachine guns and rifles, carrying several iron boxes.

Shortly after, they seemed to sense something.

The black-gray pickup truck began to slow down, its blinding headlights illuminating everything.

Chen Feng stepped towards the road.

Whoosh!!

A thick python suddenly shot out from the trees, its barrel-like body possessing explosive power beyond ordinary imagination.

Its mouth opened wide, ready to devour, its sharp fangs intimidating.

Chen Feng squinted but quickly regained composure.

Bam!!

The sound of a gun, a long, special bullet grazed past his eyes, piercing the head of the thick python.

The violent impact sent its body flying, only to crash into the muddy pit.

Even though the snake’s head was shattered like a broken watermelon, blood flowing everywhere, the python hadn’t died immediately, still frantically twisting its body.

Its strong Life Force far exceeded that of similar creatures on Earth Star, and then gunshots sounded again.

Bam!!

Another bullet shot out, completely blasting its head.

"Enough, no need for follow-up shots!"

"The skin of the Black Scale Python is worth quite a bit... without a head, it can’t survive."

A low voice came from the approaching pickup truck, then the doors opened.

Two figures holding rifles came close, one looked at the writhing python, while the other smiled at Chen Feng.

"Hey buddy, are you okay?"

"This beast is very cunning, but it should be done for now."

The speaker appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, having yellow skin and black hair remarkably similar to the appearance of Chi Country’s people on Earth Star.

His lively tone carried friendliness, but with Perception spread out, Chen Feng could see the wariness in the eyes of the other person and the constant readiness of the two in the car, their fingers on the trigger.

Gently shaking his head, Chen Feng didn’t speak.

He needed to first familiarize himself with the language of this realm.

The group in front of him was a perfect opportunity.
