The Highest Bounty

Chapter 106

Gu Ding asked Neptune to notify Liliath and Biggie regarding the matter of the Witch G.o.d so the two of them could come up with a solution as well. As for Gu Ding himself, all he could do was slowly refine the medicine while thinking about a countermeasure.

What the three of them did not know was that the night they went missing, a video had gone viral like crazy on Skynet.

The protagonist of the video was none other than one of Gu Ding"s crew members, Biggie. In the video, Biggie was seen hunting a giant golden alligator down and then slicing it in half like tofu with his hands.

The Federation Army had taken a look at the video and even worked overtime to examine it throughout an entire night.

"How did that big man do it? That was a Level 8 Gene Body giant golden alligator, a genebeast which defense capabilities are ranked top 2. Not to mention, he cut it like tofu…" A person from the Army who had seen the video could not wrap his head around it.

"His primary power has a special attribute which allows him to tear his enemy apart. Moreover, he has great control over his primary power." As a swordsman, Sharp could clearly tell that Biggie was a top-tier swordsman. "To a certain extent, he"s probably as good as me."

"Since he"s able to kill off a Level 8 Gene Body giant golden alligator underwater, it probably means that he"s at least a Level 9 Gene Body at his peak strength, or even a Level 10 Gene Body. However, it seems like other than his superb swordsmans.h.i.+p and powerful physical strength, he hasn"t shown any of his other abilities. Hence, we can"t determine what his true skill level is, nor can we determine his actual combat strength."

"From the videos posted and the surveillance cameras, we can deduce that the guy has joined Gu Ding"s crew." Their lord had told Sharp that he did not understand Gu Ding enough. Hence, Sharp had started investigating the new guy. "I"m sure everyone has heard of the newcomer, Gu Ding. A martial arts pract.i.tioner and a top-tier hacker that acts boldly regardless of the consequences. Compared to old guys whose net worths we"re all familiar with, this newcomer is more dangerous because we don"t know what he"s capable of.

"Currently, he has two other crew members. One of them is Biggie whom we just saw in the video, the one with amazing fighting power. The other one is Liliath, a gunner. One of our men fought with her previously, and the comment given was that she"s currently the gunner with the most potential among all the other newcomer gunners in the Dragon Soar empire. That description excludes her other abilities.

"In addition to that, Gu Ding"s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is a first-generation Grey-faced Buzzard that has two anti-matter cannons..."

"Sharp, are you sure you want to waste your time on this newcomer?" Wendell interrupted Sharp with a blank expression. Wendell had been in a bad mood ever since he lost one of his men some time ago. "I think it"s more important to find out what"s the whole thing with the masked man. That guy killed one of our colonel generals!"


"Wendell, we"ll talk about the masked man later. Everyone is working overtime today to discuss the big man in the video," said a slender, tall woman who had red hair.

Unexpectedly, Wendell did not refute and seemed a little scared of her.

"Sharp, continue what you were saying. I"d like to hear more about that man," the red-haired woman said as she licked her lips, "Strong men that cook are my favorite…"

Sharp ignored her comments and continued to talk about Gu Ding.

The surveillance cameras outside the starport showed that Gu Ding"s crew had left Planet Derisis after they finished what they were doing in the Food Festival. However, strangely enough, according to the observation of a local, he was looking at Gu Ding"s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p through his astronomical scope when he saw it disappear into thin air.

The astronomy enthusiast near the starport had taken a video of it with his telescope. In the beginning, he took interest in Gu Ding"s Grey-faced Buzzard and wanted to record down the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p"s flight process.

The contents of the video showed the Grey-faced Buzzard successfully lifting off into the sky. However, as the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was seen leaving Derisis"s atmosphere, it gradually shrunk smaller and smaller before it suddenly disappeared from the screen. In search of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, the lens was then seen being moved around. Nevertheless, it was unable to catch even a glimpse of the Grey-faced Buzzard.

"It just disappeared out of thin air?" The red-haired woman looked disappointed.

"What do you guys think happened?" Sharp looked at the other people who were present.

"I didn"t see the appearance of a wormhole, nor did I see the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p prepare for a hypers.p.a.ce jump..." A colonel general frowned. "It doesn"t seem like it was. .h.i.t by something either."

"Even if we replay this video a hundred times slower, the same thing will be seen. It disappeared out of thin air," Sharp said as he replayed the video at a slower speed.

"Could it be that some kind of cultural relic in their vicinity was activated, and it sucked them inside?" someone guessed.

"That"s unlikely. Other s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps that took off at around the same time as the Grey-faced Buzzard didn"t encounter the same thing." Sharp shook his head, he had already read all of the information about the incident beforehand.

"Maybe a crack in s.p.a.cetime coincidentally happened at that time, causing them to fall inside it."

"There were no signs that a s.p.a.cetime crack occurred. Even if a crack in s.p.a.cetime had occurred, it would"ve healed instantly and left residual s.p.a.ce fluctuations around it. We already sent people over to investigate and no one found any fluctuations around the area." Sharp shook his head again.

"Could it be that they"ve encountered s.p.a.ce-time backtracking?" the red-haired woman voiced out her guess, "Although the phenomenon is rare, it has happened before. There"s a chance that they went into it."

"That"s actually possible!" Sharp fell silent for a moment as he searched his mind for all kinds of information on s.p.a.ce-time backtracking. He thought that it was the only answer that could possibly explain the whole thing.

"They must be really lucky. For all we know, they could be receiving a warm welcome from ancient mankind as we speak. Think about the heritage they"re going to bring back from the ancient civilization." A federal colonel general sighed.

What those people from the Army did not know was that their guess about Gu Ding"s crew having encountered s.p.a.ce-time backtracking was completely correct. However, their guess about what kind of situation Gu Ding"s crew was in was completely wrong. Not only did Gu Ding and his crew not receive the hospitality of ancient humans, but they had encountered the horrible medieval Witch Tribe; their lives were on the line.

Gu Ding continued to refine more medicine while Arthas, who he had given medicinal materials, was in his own tent. The latter was trying to refine the Cell Enhancer he had learned from Gu Ding.

His first bottle was a failure, and it caused a small explosion that almost blew up his tent. However, he succeeded in refining a high quality Cell Enhancer on his second bottle. On his third bottle, he managed to refine a bother of ultimate quality medicine. At last, he was able to refine a successful perfect quality Cell Enhancer on his fourth bottle...
