Chapter 219: Traveler in Different Space
[The target escapes into the underground passage]
【Underground Force Preparation】
【……】
Suddenly, the sound of metal parts colliding could be heard throughout the city's underground system. This sound reminded Su Xia of the Autobots transforming in the movie.
There are enemies underground, too, and they are very close to him.
He had only advanced a few hundred meters when he encountered the first wave of resistance.
"boom!"
The side wall of the underground passage ahead suddenly exploded with a loud bang and was forcibly knocked open by something .
An alloy monster with sharp crawled out. It was dark in color, like an underground worm. It had only a terrifying big mouth in the front, and it was unknown how long the back of its body was.
Its huge mechanical mouth is over one meter in diameter, connecting the abdomen and the tail. Inside is a circle of sharp and terrifying alloy fangs, like a wriggling crusher, constantly crushing the stones and soil in front of it, then transferring them through the abdomen to the tail and then excreting them out of the body.
Immediately afterwards, two explosions were heard behind Su Xia.
Two more mechanical bugs with terrifying appearances crawled out.
“Boom, boom!”
Right beside Su Xia, there were also tremors and roars.
His eyes focused, and he made a prompt decision. Without retreating, he moved forward rapidly in the passage.
The mechanical worm that emerged from the front roared and opened its terrifying mechanical mouth towards him, as if it wanted to swallow him whole and tear him into blood foam bit by bit.
But as soon as Su Xia thought about it, the worm's hard metal body collapsed instantly.
"Bang!"
Its interior was originally hollow, supported by powerful mechanical forces, but it collapsed directly. The rotating sharp metal pieces broke and shattered, the protected internal circuits were broken bit by bit, and psychic liquid mixed with metal fragments scattered all over the ground.
Su Xia stepped directly over its shattered metal body, collected some of the fragments for future use, and then continued to move forward.
Behind him, there were roars one after another.
The bugs had already locked onto his position and kept pouring in, smashing through the side walls of the passage and entering the passage to hunt him.
Fortunately, they were not fast enough to catch up with Su Xia.
Just when Su Xia thought he could escape this wave of attacks, another explosion suddenly came from in front of him.
"boom!"
A long missile fell from the sky. The front-stage shaped charge exploded, blasting a hole with a large diameter in the ground. The second-stage warhead followed the hole into the underground passage.
The violent explosion instantly destroyed a very long passage in front of Su Xia, and the earth and rocks collapsed, completely blocking his way forward.
The Mechanical Clan used expensive earth-penetrating bombs, which shows how much they value Su Xia.
In the rear passage, more and more mechanical creatures gathered.
Not only are there those terrifying metal worms, but there are also many strange-looking mechanical creatures. Some are oval in shape and only the size of a palm, while others look like alien creatures, so strange that they are beyond description.
"Masked man, put down your weapon."
"Surrender, the people outside are all from my tribe."
"My tribe values your abilities very much. Join our tribe and cooperate with our research. We will find a way to remove the global hunting order from the Zero Point Tavern for you."
"Wealth, fame, status, women or men..."
"Whatever you want, my tribe can give it to you."
"Surrender..."
“…”
Those mechanical creatures slowed down, various blue lights flashed, and they slowly approached Su Xia, offering countless conditions.
The instructions they received were to capture Su Xia alive. Otherwise, the bunker-buster bomb just now would have taken half of Su Xia's life.
As long as Su Xia surrenders and cooperates with the research, he won't have to worry about the rest of his life.
Gold and jewelry, villas and luxury cars, guns and beauties...
He will live a more comfortable life than Zhao Si.
If he is willing, the Mechanical Clan can give him the position of city lord.
"Surrender. You have no way to escape. The sky, the ground, and the underground have all been completely blocked by us."
The robots spoke again, and they spoke the truth.
Unless Su Xia could pass through walls, he could only fight his way into the densely packed mechanical creatures in the passage behind and carve out a bloody path, all the while having to avoid the earth-penetrating bombs overhead.
What Xue Lin said in the tavern before was actually very true. Once surrounded, even a level 5 creature could not escape.
Wang Teng has a psychic power of level 4.9, but he never dares to enter the city, probably because he is afraid of being surrounded.
However……
Su Xia can indeed walk through walls.
[Will of the Wind]
His second talent is described as turning into a gust of wind, but in reality it is entering a different space, moving very quickly within that space for thirty seconds, and his position in the real world also moves relatively.
In the eyes of others, he seemed to have disappeared like a gust of wind.
The last time in the wilderness, Su Xia verified this skill in the battle with the Dragon King.
The leading mechanical creature asked him: "Masked Stranger, have you thought about it?"
Su Xia nodded: "I'm fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his talent and instantly disappeared from the sight of these mechanical creatures.
All the mechanical creatures in the passage were startled and activated various scanning devices, repeatedly scanning the area where Su Xia had stood before, but found nothing.
[Target lost]
There was nothing in front of her, as if Su Xia had disappeared from the face of the earth.
"What's going on?"
"Is the masked man an undead?"
"Those undead also have the ability to disappear on the spot. It seems that they have returned to their original world."
"No, those undead were very weak when they first appeared. Even now, they are not that strong. But the masked man already had the strength of a fourth-level creature..."
Countless question marks appeared in the minds of these mechanical creatures.
They stayed where they were, guarded the position, and then reported the information to higher-level mechanical creatures.
At the same time, Su Xia was running wildly in another passage deeper underground.
These mechanical creatures were everywhere in every passage, and there was no way to avoid them. He just chose a relatively safe passage.
After running for less than two minutes, Su Xia bumped into a strange-looking mechanical creature.
The mechanical creature roared, "Masked man, stop and surrender immediately. Don't waste our patience!"
“Crack!”
Su Xia waved his hand and blew it apart.
But this thing also transmitted all the information to the rest of the mechanical creatures before disintegrating.
【Discover the target】
Upon receiving the news, the underground mechanical forces immediately took action and rushed towards Su Xia's location.
Su Xia did not stop for a moment and flew close to the ground in the passage at an astonishing speed, destroying countless mechanical creatures along the way, and more and more metal fragments were spinning around his body.
“Boom…Boom…”
Behind him, one bunker-buster bomb after another fell, blasting the passage behind him to pieces and cutting off his retreat.
It takes a certain amount of time for these bunker-buster bombs to be released from the air and penetrate into the ground.
In theory, as long as Su Xia's speed underground was fast enough, he could avoid it in advance.
However, the mechanical clan's air force is not stupid. Each independent mechanical individual has a computer brain that can calculate where Su Xia might arrive next, release bombs in advance, and block Su Xia's way.
Less than five minutes later, a loud roar was heard from the passage in front of Su Xia.
The passage was blown up and the way forward was blocked.
The mechanical creatures behind him were drilling through the soil and rocks, getting closer to him.
"Bang!"
The fastest creature shattered a piece of stone and entered the space, just in time to see Su Xia using his psychic talent once again.
In front of him, Su Xia disappeared again.
"This damn masked weirdo, how did he do that?"
"Disappeared again. Could he really be a ghost crawling out of hell?"
"No, I'm a robot, a product of technology. How can I believe in these superstitious things..."
The small oval robot blinked, blue light flashing in its eyes, and scanned the entire space to confirm that Su Xia had left.
When the news of Su Xia's second disappearance reached the ground, many mechanical commanders were confused.
What kind of ability is this?
Teleport?
In order to teleport, don't you have to learn how to open a space door with your bare hands?
After the Mechanical City Lord Roche learned the news, he pondered for a moment and matched a similar ability in the database.
"This masked stranger might be a traveler from another dimension." He said with a serious expression, "Lord Mercer, what do you think?"
"Well, that should be the case."
"I just don't know how long he can sneak in the different space."
"Several members of my tribe have awakened this ability. The longest one can stay stealthed for 22 seconds, and the shortest is only 8 seconds. I think the masked man's time should be within this period."
"It seems that his research is more valuable..."
Roche ordered his men to capture Su Xia alive at all costs.
The mechanical base is operating at full capacity and the entire city is shrouded in shadow.
Once again, humans felt the fear brought by machines.
Faced with this situation, the Zero Point Tavern temporarily closed its doors, leaving only a back door for entry and exit.
The killers in the tavern had no intention of leaving. They drank while waiting for the mechanical tribe to finish their actions.
"The entire Fish Scale City has been blocked, and the Mechanical Clan is making a big fuss. It's obvious that they have no intention of letting the Masked Stranger go."
"Will the 100 million bounty be taken away by the Mechanical Clan?"
“That’s a bit ironic…”
Put yourself in their shoes. If they were masked monsters, there would be no way for them to escape from this city now.
There is no way to heaven and no door to the earth.
Those killers who were heading southwest would probably have made a wasted trip.
…
At this time, Su Xia was running desperately downwards and reached an underground river.
This place is more than three hundred meters away from the ground. No matter how powerful the mechanical race's earth-penetrating bombs are, they cannot drill in. The only thing we need to be careful about is the mechanical creatures entering the underground.
Perhaps due to insufficient preparation, those mechanical creatures did not come down for the time being.
"It should be in time."
Su Xia moved quickly in the narrow and dark underground river, constantly calculating in his mind and constantly comparing his position on the ground.
The mechanical clan also issued orders.
[Continuing down, he didn’t dare to return to the ground]
[His ability is very rare and can only be used three times a day. It has been used twice today, so don't worry]
Both sides were in a hurry, one was running for life and the other was chasing.
The confidence of the mechanical race comes from their powerful strength.
Su Xia’s confidence comes from the task prompts.
He set off two minutes before the countdown. The system would not lie. Logically, there must be a glimmer of hope. However, the sky and the ground were blocked, so the way to survive was naturally underground.
“Clatter…”
The river water flows and is clear.
This underground world has a special ecosystem, and many strange-looking creatures live in the river.
Twenty minutes later, according to calculations, Su Xia had escaped from the urban area and officially entered the vast suburbs.
This underground river seemed to have no end. The front was still deep and dark. There were several forks in the road, and no one knew where they led.
Su Xia stopped in front of the fork in the road, planning to choose one to enter.
But at this moment, he focused his eyes and found a small thing.
"Zerg?"
At the fork in the road on the far right, there stood a swift insect with fierce eyes and a dark brown shell all over its body.
Why are there bugs in this damn place?
