Chapter 525: Battle Mortality Rate
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Is it here?”
“It should be near.”
“So, order the police and start searching around, remember to keep talking.”
A tense and deep cl.u.s.ter of voices could be heard in the forest of the natural cemetery from time to time. A team of martial artists wearing martial uniforms with the ‘heaven’ character embroidered on them and carrying XM 1014 automatic shotguns manufactured by the United States before the founding of the Federation was walking through the forest.
This kind of firearm could be loaded with seven bullets and had very strong firepower at close-range. Its rate of fire was also very fast; it could blow a majority of mutant creatures into slags in the blink of an eye.
Lu Dongbin stood at the center of a red date-like field, spreading his martial sense as far as possible around him to find out the potential danger. According to the last video footage transmitted by the last Elysium explorer, besides the possibility of new energy and new metal, there was something else here as well: an extremely fast and dangerous mutant creature.
Elysium’s team was divided into three squads. Every squad’s search area was overseen by a heavenly immortal so that he could save people if anything happened.
From time to time, Lu Dongbin would take a look at He Xiangu’s position. She was the weakest of the eight immortals and the only female. Her beauty enjoyed the care of the other seven immortals. Besides the attraction of Elysium itself, Lu Dongbin’s better part of the reason for joining Elysium was He Xiangu’s existence.
Today, He Xiangu was wearing a camouflage military uniform, devoid of any bright and glaring colors. Although strong martial artists didn’t need to care too much about the mutant creatures in this natural cemetery that was full of dangers, they had to be vigilant against other humans; they were far more terrifying than the mutant creatures of the natural cemetery. As such, bright colors would only become the most dangerous colors.
Weak people could also kill martial arts experts, even experts of martial dao master level or higher level! The eight immortals would never forget that Lan Caihe died in the hands of a sniper who had not even achieved True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth.
Lu Dongbing would never forget how big of a blow he had received when he discovered that the thing which killed the G.o.d was actually anti-sniping equipment.
“Fortunately, that sniper was found and killed. Fortunately, that weird weapon also fell in Elysium’s hands.” Lu Dongbin said to himself. His eyes never left He Xiangu. Even the loose camouflage uniform could not hide her shapely body. The green camouflage uniform made her slender legs even more slender instead. And coupled with the jungle behind her, she was exuding a unique feminine charm.
He Xiangu, sensing that someone’s gaze was locked on to her, turned her head and looked at Lu Dongbin with a smile, waving her fist as if she would fight with him.
For a moment, several Elysium martial artists beside He Xiangu were dumbfounded. They even forgot that they were in the natural cemetery where they could lose their lives.
He Xiangu was very beautiful. She had a kind of elegant temperament. Her tall body wearing the masculine camouflage uniform brought out her hidden charm.
Lu Dongbin smiled and turned his attention to other directions. He Xiangu has already agreed that as long as I avenged her brother Li Xianglong and killed Qin Fen, she will marry me. Once this mission is over, I will request a leave from Elysium, kill Qin Fen, and marry He Xiangu.
“Found it!”
An exclamation mixed with excitement sounded from Han Zhongli’s side, drawing everyone’s attentive gaze at once. A middle-aged man with gloves raised a rock with a faint blue glow up high. The s.h.i.+mmering stone resembled a sapphire, only it was radiating a faint glow.
Lu Dongbin narrowed his eyes, scanning the surrounding, trying to find if there was anything suspicious. Last time, the Elysium member was attacked after finding new energy and the new metal. G.o.d knows if there are any mutated creatures here, guarding the new energy…
“Woowoo… woowoo…”
Lu Dongbin found that the man inside the big iron box beside him was suddenly restless, giving our dog-like wails non-stop. The entire iron box was shaking slightly as if there was something restlessly moving in it.
“Danger…”
Lu Dongbin looked about nervously. Although the helper in the iron box lacked its past intellect, its beast-like instincts are straight-on. Judging by his restlessness, he must have found something.
“I found it too…”
A dark red new metal was raised high by a middle-aged man beside He Xiangu.
Almost at the same time, all the people began to converge on Lu Dongbin’s position. This was decided at the beginning; everyone should converge immediately after finding anything to prevent getting ambush by unknown mutant creatures. At the same time, they would hand it over to Lu Dongbin as soon as possible. The strongest of the eight immortals would then bring the things safely back to Elysium at the fastest speed.
“Your excellency, since you are here, why are you still hiding?” Lu Dongbin’s eyes glowed as brightly as a light bulb as a sliver of dark red energy rushed to his face. He stared in Du Peng and Qin Fen’s direction with a calm and dissatisfied gaze. “Elysium is working here, we don’t want to be disturbed.”
Elysium was a bright signboard on Saturn, but Lu Dongbin discovered that the opposite party still walked out of the jungle instead of quietly retreating after he had shown this signboard clearly. Vigilance immediately appeared on his face. Obviously, the two Jungle Rangers aren’t afraid of Elysium! But why are there two of them? Just now, I only felt one martial dao master! The other Jungle Ranger pilot is pretty good at hiding himself!
The vigilance of Lu Dongbin’s face increased. At the same time, he sized up the two deep-as-h.e.l.l mobile armors as a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes. When did soldiers become so bold? Since we have been discovered, they can only be killed now. If we left them alive, they will surely reveal that Elysium has obtained the new energy. At that time, I’m afraid it will not just be Inferno, even divine beast of other planets will be interested in what was discovered!
We have to silence them! Lu Dongbin cast a signal to the slowly approaching Han Zhongli and the others. The cooperation of the eight immortals had almost reached the point where they didn’t even need to speak. Just a glance was enough for the other party to know what he wanted to do.
Du Peng glanced at Qin Fen apologetically. If his heart wasn’t stirred when he saw the new metal, he would not have been discovered by Lu Dongbin, and then, the sudden attack of the mantis would have been perfect.
Qin Fen turned his cold face as he looked about. His gaze paused slightly in two different directions as he was secretly calculating. There is another team piloting Jungle Rangers, but it doesn’t seem that it’s Du Yu. It seems they have not been discovered by Elysium.
Qin Fen looked up curiously in the second direction with even more curiosity. Why is this team so far away? Clearly, they are concerned about the situation here but why do they show that they don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion?
“Well!? He is looking at us!? Impossible!? We are so far away and yet, he found us!? Captain Zhanpeng, do you think it’s possible?”
“He is Qin Fen, there is nothing impossible for him.”
It was a similar light mobile armor, the Jungle Ranger, but its sound wasn’t that low. The magnetic voice gave a reasonable feeling.
“So interesting! Captain Zhanpeng, why don’t I go and spar with him?”
“Do you have a good life insurance policy?” The Jungle Ranger sounded again. “According to the records, the mortality rate of fighting with Qin Fen is higher than the serious injury rate. And the serious injury rate is higher than the minor injury rate. And the minor injury rate is higher than the safety rate.”
“Big Bro Zhan’s younger brother is so dangerous?”
“You can give it a try but I am not going to collect your corpse when you are dead.”
“Captain Zhanpeng, that hurts my heart. I’d better settle down as an audience.”
“Don’t just be an audience, be ready to act at any moment.” The Jungle Ranger’s voice was laced with a bit of killing intent. “This time, we’re here to hunt. Don’t forget this point.”
“Yes!”
All the Jungle Rangers responded in unison.
Qin Fen gazed in the distance direction for a while. Only after sensing that they indeed didn’t have any hostility did he withdraw his gaze. He looked at the gloomy Lu Dongbin and said calmly, “Put down the new energy and the new metal and you can leave this time.”
A low hubbub of surprise resounded among the Elysium team. No one had thought that the two pilots, who had just walked out piloting the army Jungle Rangers, would be so arrogant. Just as they opened their mouths, they asked Elysium, the Elysium, to give up all interest and leave. Who does he think he is? A divine beast martial artist!? Or the bloodthirsty Qin Fen?
Lu Dongbin raised his eyebrows as he carefully sized Qin Fen up. Ever since Qin Fen appeared, he had a feeling that he can’t see through him. This wasn’t good news for a powerful martial artist.
Lu Dongbin gave Han Zhongli and the others a signal to stop for the time being. It was better to figure out the ident.i.ty of the other party before silencing him so that they could know their enemy and themselves before making their moves at least.
“You want we Elysium to give up? Who do you think you are?”
Qin Fen looked at the young man beside Lu Dongbin who had suddenly spoken. There was an arrogant look on his face. He was about twenty-five, twenty-six years old, and was in the fourteen-star level. After he spoke, no one scolded him for speaking out his place.
Lu Dongbin’s disciple!? The doubt in Qin Fen’s eyes soon turned into an affirmation. The true energy of the two was very similar; they should be from the same school. Since he was able to overcome powerful adversaries, it wasn’t strange for Lu Dongbin to have a golden boy and jade girl waiting for him!
“Hey! I’m asking you!”
Having the strength of fourteen-star level at the age of twenty-five, twenty-six was enough to be arrogant about in the eyes of many martial artists of the Federation.
Qin Fen’s cold metallic face glanced about at Elysium members and then returned back to Lu Dongbin as he spoke as calmly as he had in the beginning, “Qin Fen.”
