Chapter 299: A Lucky Coincidence
On a desolate stone wall.
There were tall white tents. Inside one of the tents, a mechanical tiger lay on a chair, looking at a crystal-clear screen.
On the screen were small red dots, scattered like raindrops, but they moved rhythmically towards the blank area.
Suddenly, a red dot disappeared.
Utopia Tiger frowned. Suddenly, a humanoid mechanical soldier entered and said, “General, the T-109 unit has been completely wiped out.”
“I know.” Utopia’s eyes were fixed on the place where the red dot disappeared. The red dot on the screen just now represented the T-109 unit.
Utopia pondered for a moment and said, “Has the Yellow Leaf Forest area been searched? Have you found any trace of General Dark Thunder?”
“No. Dark Thunder fled northeast, but the Yellow Leaf Forest is to the west. I suspect it was other outsiders,” the mechanical soldier replied.
“Outsiders.” Hearing this, Utopia’s metallic face emitted a black glow, and he gnashed his teeth, saying, “It must be someone from Sky Blue Star. Send more troops. No matter what destroyed my army, they must pay the price.”
“Yes, General!” the soldier responded loudly and then left the tent.
Clank, clank.
Mechanical units started to move, making metallic friction sounds as they advanced towards the Yellow Leaf Forest.
The movement of a large army had a huge impact.
“Go and find out why General Utopia dispatched his troops. Did he find the trace of General Dark Thunder?”
Orders were passed down among the various forces.
“Master, Utopia’s army is heading west, which doesn’t match the trace of Dark Thunder we found.” Someone quickly reported back after investigating, “He’s probably doing this to confuse us.”
“Ignore it. Dark Thunder is too cunning. He might double back. Continue the search,” a powerful figure said.
The current situation was too sensitive. Any movement from any side would be closely watched.
On the other side, this matter also alerted Adams’ troops!
On the cliff.
Trief’s eyes were bright as he said, “Utopia suddenly mobilized his army. Could it be related to Li Feng?”
“It’s very likely. That person just arrived and is unfamiliar with this place. He could easily provoke other forces. Trief, quickly release some scouts to investigate that area,” someone said.
Trief nodded. Countless points of light appeared around him, and tiny beetle-like insects emerged, flying low before disappearing into the darkness.
…
…
Northeast direction.
A lightning leopard continued to fly. It had many red spots on its body, constantly emitting lightning.
Suddenly, it stopped and looked back, “What’s going on? Why are there fewer pursuers? Did something major happen behind?”
He was General Dark Thunder, who was being pursued by many. However, his troops were all gone, and he was fleeing alone.
He had no source of information and was completely isolated.
“Forget it. Whatever happened, it’s good for me.” A gleam flashed in Dark Thunder’s eyes, and then he said with hatred, “Once I devour the Ember and advance further, I will settle all the scores.”
He deeply hated those conglomerate forces. Many of his soldiers who had followed him for years had died in battle. This was an irreconcilable grudge.
Then, he changed direction and fled quickly to the east. He was going to the far east, where it was icy and snowy, suitable for hiding and secretly devouring the Ember!
…
…
Late at night, Yellow Leaf Forest!
Metal fragments were scattered on the ground, and some grass was burning with small sparks, glowing red, but it didn’t form a large fire because even the ground had metallic components.
At this moment, Li Feng was unaware that by eliminating an army, he had set the entire Metal Lifeform World’s forces into high gear.
However, it was hard to say whether this was good or bad for him.
Because he entered this world by accident, he didn’t understand the details. However, through the conversation between Ruben and Adams, Li Feng knew that everyone was looking for a special substance called Ember.
“I wonder if this Ember can transform my ‘Mechanical Heart’ breathing technique.” Li Feng wasn’t sure, but there was a high chance.
The fact that everyone was fighting for it was enough to show the Ember’s extraordinary nature.
He didn’t stay in place for long but chose to explore deeper into the Yellow Leaf Forest. He didn’t walk fast, only covering a few dozen meters with each step.
The area of this forest was vast, seemingly endless.
An hour later, Li Feng had traveled hundreds of miles but still hadn’t exited the forest.
At this time, the sky in the distance was slightly bright, the moon’s figure was hazy, and the night was about to pass.
“Looks like I’ve safely passed this night,” Li Feng looked up at the sky and sighed.
But soon, he realized he was wrong. The marching speed of the armies in this world was much faster than he thought.
As dawn approached, Li Feng encountered another army.
These were all mechanical troops, needing no food or rest, like a sharp blade, reaching the battlefield at the fastest speed.
“It’s the same as the army I saw before. I wonder which force it belongs to?” Li Feng muttered, finding that the approaching mechanical army was similar to the one he had encountered earlier, but with fewer numbers, only eighty, but their strength was greater.
They rushed up and attacked Li Feng the moment they saw him, without any communication.
Li Feng didn’t hold back either. His forehead glowed with a seven-colored light, and the Sword of Life, like a divine dragon, struck forward.
With a bang.
The center of the mechanical unit seemed to have been hit by a missile. More than ten robots were swept by the sword light and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
“Send the message back. This person’s strength has reached T0 level, not something ordinary troops can handle,” a mechanical soldier said coldly.
The T0 level they mentioned referred to the opponent’s strength reaching the Peak Awakened level, equivalent to the various generals, requiring a joint siege.
A powerhouse of this level was qualified to form a large army and become a conglomerate force in the Metal Lifeform World.
Without exception, this army was still wiped out by Li Feng.
He didn’t leave any survivors because Li Feng knew that these soldiers were made of machinery, without any fear or emotion, more like a suicide squad, and he couldn’t get any information from them.
Unless he could capture a Metal Lifeform.
“What’s that?” Suddenly, Li Feng’s eyes looked somewhere. There was a dark brown stone, and under the stone’s cover were more than ten small beetles.
His perception was very sharp, and he realized that these little things were monitors. He swung the Sword of Life, instantly crushing the group of small beetles.
…
…
At the same time.
In the canyon, Trief’s expression changed slightly, and he said, “I found Li Feng. That guy is in the Yellow Leaf Forest, and he had a conflict with Utopia’s legion. That guy’s perception is very sharp. He detected my reconnaissance group.”
◈◈◈
“Your scouts were discovered.” The people around were surprised, “In that case, that guy’s perception is indeed a bit terrifying.”
Trief shook his head, “So what if he’s perceptive? I still found his whereabouts. Let’s go and besiege him together.”
“That’s true. Let’s go see our prey. But before we go, let’s report to Master Adams first,” someone said.
Trief shook his head, “He’s just someone from Great Xia Nation. He can’t be that strong. With so many of us, plus Utopia’s army, killing him will be easy. Let’s kill Li Feng first and bring his head to Master Adams, giving him a surprise.”
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, then nodded again. With so many of them, dealing with Li Feng should be more than enough.
Someone said with a smile, “That’s right. The ten of us will go. As for the others scattered around, there’s no need to call them back. Let’s kill him directly.”
They were very confident and somewhat dismissive. They had been to Great Xia Nation a few years ago, and the people there were vulnerable.
Although Eden Adams told them to be careful, they still didn’t take it too seriously.
…
…
Li Feng didn’t know that another force was targeting him.
At this moment, he was about to exit the Yellow Leaf Forest. A chill came, and he felt the surrounding temperature drop a lot.
“Could this be near the north or south of the Metal Lifeforms?” Li Feng muttered to himself.
Then, he found this thought amusing. Although each small plane was a planet, the environment was not the same.
On Sky Blue Star, the north and south were extremely cold, but here, perhaps the east and west were the extremely cold places.
When the sky just brightened.
Li Feng walked out of the Yellow Leaf Forest. The sky began to snow with goose-down-like snowflakes. The ground was already covered with snow, a thin layer of snow everywhere, and the distant mountains were yellow and white, like a double-layered ice cream.
But not long after he stepped into the snow, he encountered a mechanical unit for the third time. This unit was even stronger. It was a group of Mechanical Hawks, traveling through the void at a very fast speed.
Moreover, the wings of the Mechanical Hawks were very sharp. They swooped down towards Li Feng, like a heavenly blade, making a sonic boom in the air.
Bang!
Li Feng held the Sword of Life and met them head-on. When the two collided, brilliant sparks flew. A section of the Mechanical Hawk’s wing broke off, but it could still fly, albeit much slower.
Li Feng didn’t give the opponent a chance. The longsword fell, splitting the Mechanical Hawk in two. Sparks exploded in the void. Then, hundreds of Mechanical Hawks swooped down at the same time, like a wave, with an astonishing momentum. The sharp aura was even chilling.
But he was fearless. He activated his breathing technique, and a darkness centered on him quickly spread forward.
In less than ten breaths, Li Feng’s figure reappeared. The ground was full of metal wreckage. He had a surprised look on his face, “I didn’t expect the Darkness Domain to have such an effect.”
Just now, all the Mechanical Hawks shrouded in darkness seemed to have suffered a short circuit, falling to the ground, automatically igniting sparks, and finally exploding.
“Electromagnetic problem?” Li Feng suspected that there was electromagnetic interference in the darkness, which was why people lost their perception.
This was a new discovery.
“In that case, I’m not afraid of the mechanical units here,” Li Feng said with joy. But he still needed to be careful when facing Metal Lifeforms.
Because they were real life forms, there was no such thing as a short circuit.
…
…
Inside a tall white tent!
Utopia Tiger looked at the red dot that disappeared again on the screen and roared angrily, “Damn little thief, you actually wiped out three of my mechanical units.”
He was a little pained, especially the Mechanical Hawk unit, which had powerful air superiority, but they were all lost to that little thief.
Most importantly, he hadn’t even seen that person. Just giving an order had caused such a great loss. His metal-made kidneys were starting to ache.
“If it weren’t for me having to track down Dark Thunder, I would have personally crushed you,” Utopia gnashed his teeth.
“General!”
At this moment, a monkey-like Metal Lifeform walked in and said, “General, we have found the trace of Dark Thunder.”
“Really!” Utopia suddenly jumped down from his chair, surprised, “Where?”
“In the far east, and at his current speed, he will probably reach the west soon.” Speaking of this, the monkey’s face showed a strange expression.
No one expected Dark Thunder to make a big circle and return to the original place.
Utopia also showed a strange expression. The Metal Lifeform planet was round, which meant that he had accidentally made the right move by sending his army to besiege the little thief.
“Good, very good. I’ll settle old and new scores together, and the Ember will also fall into my hands. It’s really a blessing from heaven!” Soon, Utopia laughed. He felt that this was fate, not only allowing him to take revenge personally but also to harvest the Ember and reach the peak of his metal life.
Then, he said domineeringly, “Full force, advance towards the Yellow Leaf Forest. Announce that we are killing the little thief.”
With such an excuse, although other forces would find it strange, they would not stop him.
The monkey soldier exited the tent and began to relay the order.
For a time, all the mechanical units began to contract.
…
…
Not long after, other forces also received this information, “Is General Utopia crazy? He even gave up the Ember to kill an unknown little thief.”
All the forces were extremely surprised.
“Ignore him. He lost three units in a row. Maybe he’s gone mad and made such a foolish decision,” someone said sarcastically.
In this way, there was one less force competing with them for the Ember.
“That’s true. Let’s hurry up and find the trace of Dark Thunder!” someone chuckled.
…
…
On the other side, Trief and the others who had just walked out of the canyon also had strange expressions. They didn’t expect Li Feng to anger General Utopia so much that he would use his entire army to kill him.
“That kid probably doesn’t know that disaster is about to befall him!” someone gloated.
Trief also curled his lips slightly, “I told you, that kid is no threat. Utopia has mobilized his entire army. Maybe by the time we make a move, that kid will already be dead.”
This was a good thing.
Then, Trief suggested, “Let’s go and join forces with Utopia’s troops and cooperate with him.”
This proposal was approved by everyone.
“Good, this time we’ll make sure that Li Feng has no way out,” a young man sneered.
