Chapter 218 A Good Day for Escape
[This task is open to all tavern branches around the world]
[This task is open to all formal and informal members]
[This task has no time limit]
[This mission...]
【……】
Almost at the same time, official members around the world received a mission text message.
One hundred million bounty!
This terrifying number is truly heart-wrenching.
A normal person’s head is worth thirty to fifty thousand dollars at most.
The masked man's head is far more valuable than a golden head of the same weight.
"What happened?"
“Why is it the tavern official who sent me the message?”
Many newcomers who have just entered the industry don’t understand the situation and just hold their phones in a daze.
Some elderly people who had lived long enough, especially those who had experienced the same situation last time, had serious expressions on their faces.
"Someone committed a foul."
"That shouldn't be the case. Is there any life-and-death feud that must be resolved inside the tavern?"
They clicked on the message one after another, and the first thing they saw was Su Xia's photo.
The man in the photo was the transformed red crystal. He looked to be in his early twenties, with black hair, deep eyes and a stern look.
[Masked stranger, 4.6 level psychic creature, psychic talent suspected to be "metal affinity", mastered multiple metal control skills, age unknown, real name unknown, alias Li Defu...]
In the employment information, Su Xia filled in a very low psychic level, but the Zero Point Tavern re-evaluated his performance based on his combat record and determined that it was around level 4.6.
The professional assessment is different, and it is quite close to his own level 4.7.
"Masked Stranger, this name sounds familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere recently."
"Isn't this the guy in the southwest region who is against the mechanical race?"
The fame of the masked man is no longer limited to the dozen or so small cities in the southwest region of the mainland.
People in other parts of the mainland are telling his legendary stories.
After all, it is a level four creature and is well-known throughout the entire continent. As long as it has some achievements, it will become the subject of discussion in every tavern after drinking.
The moment they saw his photo, countless people were shocked.
"So young?"
"Could it be a disguise?"
"No, eyes can't lie. He looks too young. He must be no more than 25 years old!"
To many veteran assassins, Su Xia looked younger than their sons.
Their sons are either still studying or have been turned into waste by the huge bounty they earned.
"To become a level 4 creature at such a young age."
"No wonder he dared to do this. He became famous too early and is so powerful that he can't bear the constraints of rules..."
“…”
Many people thought of their own youth, when they were full of youth and bad temper and almost got into fights in pubs several times.
The pub was not so famous at that time, but this rule already existed.
Someone sighed: "What a pity, he is so talented. If he doesn't act impulsively this time, he will definitely achieve something in the future."
Another said: "He has already accomplished something great. Even if he died tomorrow, his story would be recorded in history."
"My teacher plans to go to the southwest region to take a look. If there is a chance, he will take the 100 million bounty."
"What a coincidence! My second uncle is also going there."
"Let's go together..."
“…”
Many level 4 creatures on the continent were interested and began to pack their equipment, either coming alone or in groups.
The 100 million bounty is indeed tempting.
What is even more tempting is the meaning behind the 100 million yuan bounty.
It has been six or seven years since the last time such a major event happened.
The man who successfully received the bounty last time has now become one of the senior executives of the Zero Point Tavern headquarters. His rapid promotion in recent years is inseparable from that kill that year.
…
Fish Scale City, in the tavern.
All the killers lowered their heads, took out their cell phones, and saw the message that shocked them.
Unlike the rest, they don't need to spend time looking for a target.
Su Xia was right in front of them.
but……
Do they dare to take action?
Xue Lie sighed: "Mask, you are too impulsive. Doing this is challenging the bottom line of the tavern."
"Isn't the bottom line meant to be challenged?"
Su Xia didn't seem to be worried at all and casually wiped the blood off the dagger.
Xue Lin, lying on the ground, was already dead.
If the pub had not deliberately erased the information, he would have been recorded in history as one of the protagonists of this major event. I don't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.
Su Xia stepped over his body, walked slowly to the bar, and ordered a drink.
Xue Lie said to him, "You should go now."
"No hurry, there's still some time, have a drink before leaving."
Su Xia shook the cup, and in front of him, the countdown only had a few minutes left.
【3:49】
【3:48】
【……】
The mechanical clan of Fish Scale City is quite smart and acts very covertly, and has not made any big noise until now.
They judged that Su Xia was in this area, so they approached quietly, gradually narrowing the encirclement, determined to capture Su Xia in one fell swoop.
Su Xia drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the glass on the bar with a snap, put away the dagger, and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, see you later."
After saying that, he strode out of the tavern.
All the members in the tavern looked at each other, as if waiting for someone else to take action, but after waiting for a long time, no one dared to follow out.
In the entire Yuling City Tavern branch, the one with the greatest hope of winning the 100 million bounty is naturally Xue Lie.
But Xue Lie shook his head slightly and sighed: "I am no match for him. I don't think I can last more than two minutes in his hands."
He looked in the direction Su Xia left. The sun was shining outside and the weather was clear. It was a good day to escape.
The pursuit from the tavern is still on the way.
But those from the mechanical clan have arrived.
On a nearby tall building, a little scout who looked like a dragonfly turned his head, his eyes flickering, and caught sight of Su Xia's figure in his field of vision.
[A suspected target, the "Masked Stranger", has been found and is being compared...]
[Comparison completed, target identity confirmed...]
【……】
The moment he confirmed it, countless mechanical warriors throughout the city received the news and rushed in this direction.
But the next moment, the wings of the little robot were suddenly torn off by a strange force.
“Crack!”
Its body was torn into two pieces, and the metal sheet covering the surface was torn into pieces, revealing the tiny parts and circuits inside.
Su Xia waved his hand casually, and the little robot fell into his hands.
"Interesting, Scout?"
He held the little robot and observed it carefully.
[Name: None]
[Type: H-1 reconnaissance robot]
[Race: Mechanical]
[Camp: Mechanical Diver Camp]
[Psychic Level: 0.2]
[Titanium particle level: Level 5]
[Remaining life: 60%]
【……】
The little thing struggled desperately, and its six sharp mechanical legs suddenly became sharp, trying to pierce Su Xia's palm.
But Su Xia just squeezed it lightly and it burst.
With a "pop" sound, the blue psychic solution splashed on Su Xia's hand, and he wiped it on the tree next to him.
At the same time, all models of robots in the surrounding area received the message.
[Scout 0069458 lost contact]
Along with this news, there was also the picture and location information left behind by the little scout before he was destroyed.
Now that they have been discovered, the Mechanical Race will no longer hide.
Countless scouts flapped their wings and appeared from eaves, tree trunks, street lamps and other places. The number was astonishing, and the buzzing sound was continuous, like the locusts that covered the sky during a locust plague.
Then, shrill alarms sounded throughout the city.
“Woo——”
The mechanical clan took action personally and the entire city was under martial law!
The last time this horrifying sound was heard was when the mechanical clan’s air force launched an air strike, and countless people died in the artillery fire.
The residents in the city were terrified, thinking that war was about to break out again. Many people on the streets screamed and ran to the nearest air-raid shelters. Chaos broke out in every area.
"boom!"
A black shadow flashed across the sky, followed by a loud bang.
Following closely behind were countless identical black shadows, roaring continuously, occupying the entire sky of the city, from the north to the south, from the west to the east, covering almost every corner.
Su Xia looked up and captured the data of a flying creature.
[Name: None]
[Type: F-6 air superiority combat robot]
[Race: Mechanical]
[Camp: Mechanical Diver Camp]
[Psychic Level: 3.8]
[Titanium particle level: Level 25]
[Remaining life: 100%]
[Features: Extremely fast, good maneuverability, strong firepower, good at aerial combat, and can also perform ground strike missions. It is a famous race of the mechanical race, and once achieved a perfect record of 0:27 against human fighters in air combat.]
[Description: Facing this kind of robot, you don’t want to fly into the sky]
【……】
Only when the mechanical race showed their true strength could Su Xia intuitively feel how big the gap between the two races was.
It is no exaggeration to say that a formation of these combat robots can destroy any resistance organization in the wilderness.
The materials, energy, and time costs required to build and maintain such a robot are astronomical, and it is impossible to support it without strong capabilities and a complete industrial system.
The resistance organizations are still using cheap copycat weapons from various small handmade workshops and are extremely poor.
The comparison between the two sides is simply horrible.
In such an extreme environment, there are still countless people who insist on resisting. This belief is truly rare.
At the same time that Su Xia discovered the other person, the other person also discovered him.
[Confirmed target "Masked Stranger"]
[Target locked, missile activated, waiting for instructions...]
The mechanical race doesn't care about the death of humans in the city at all. Once the order is given, what awaits Su Xia is a round of air-to-ground missile bombing.
This area will be bombed into a no-man's land.
But perhaps because they wanted to capture Su Xia alive, the other side did not attack and kept tightening the encirclement.
"See you later."
Su Xia gestured to the mechanical creatures in the sky, then lifted a manhole cover and jumped in.
Every city’s complex underground system is an excellent means of escape.
