Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The fine gold arrowhead pierced the intelligent core fiercely—it whistled through the wind with great force, and the whole long arrow seemed to be able to rub sparks in the air.

Time seemed to be stagnant.

Although the intelligent core is a research product, it is an ancient creation after all. Even the outer shell container condenses the essence of material structure, so it can be preserved for thousands of years after twists and turns.

It is not so easy to destroy.

However, the arrow that hit it was made by the Blade Walker. Even if it is not as good as the Inscribed Blade, it is far from ancient times... But after all, it has been a weapon used for war since its birth!

Combined with the Eagle Crossbow.

And Romi's full-strength attack.

Click.

A crack appeared on the surface of the blue sphere... and then expanded rapidly!

There was a bang.

The steel arrow passed through, and the tail wind it brought whistled, blowing the fragments into pieces, like forming a thin tornado.

It broke.

"Puff." Blood flowed from the corner of Romi's mouth. At the moment he pulled the trigger, the recoil of the Eagle Crossbow returned directly to his body, dislocating his right arm and perhaps part of his lung lobe... It is impossible to achieve such a power accumulation if it is an Eagle Crossbow below the expert level.

But the corner of his mouth was raised.

With a bitter smile.

The Wandering End formed this team, either by using, inciting or coercing, some people want revenge, some want to join, and some... But their ultimate goals are similar.

Kill the Lord of Blood and take back the intelligent core.

These two are two sides of the same coin.

This is certainly a difficult task, and they have seen the hope of success... However, only Romi knows what the real order issued by Merlin is.

If the intelligent core cannot be taken back.

Destroy it!

If you don't succeed, you will die.

If the team members knew about this mission goal, they would definitely go crazy... because it does not need to kill the Lord of Blood, and the destruction of the intelligent core also means that the second half of the biochemical transformation operation will be cut off forever.

The promise that Li Rong and Wen Jin received.

It was originally a scam.

Madam Meilin doesn't care about their future at all... She just wants to destroy it!

Just as they don't want the intelligent core to fall into Long En's hands, they don't want the intelligent core to fall into Lu Beiyou's hands... or anyone else's hands except themselves.

If you can't get it, destroy it.

In comparison, this mission goal is much simpler than the previous two.

Especially when it is delivered to Romi.

"Hahaha..." This technology hunter finally laughed out loud, but his tone was dry and there was no joy at all.

He covered his eyes and stepped back.

There was a moment when Romi really thought that maybe they could complete the false mission and return successfully with the intelligent core... Even if they were bound to be blocked on the way and would suffer heavy losses in breaking through, at least someone could go back alive.

However, when Lu Beiyou drew his sword.

This fantasy was shattered.

Being cut mercilessly... just as cruel as his name.

People thought that Romi's face was ashen because he was shocked by the other party and realized that he was in a desperate situation - it was indeed a desperate situation, but on another level.

He realized.

He finally had to make this choice.

Crash.

Blue fragments fell all over the ground. For a device as precise and black-box as the intelligent core, let alone repairing it, others couldn't even understand its operating principle.

Broken into this state.

It must have been completely damaged.

The Mine Hunters who had become spectators were stunned... On today's battlefield, they really couldn't do anything.

These hunters who came out of the Mine Town had been struggling in the ruins for the first half of their lives. They had no chance to contact the United City, let alone accept biochemical transformation... Chad, who hid his strength and experience, was the most unique one among them.

They were just a group of ordinary technology hunters.

If they were to fight the melee monsters in Lake Town, they would only die... Later, even if someone tried to track the crossbowmen wandering around the periphery, Romi easily shook them off... Instead, they took the opportunity to snatch back another leader who was stabbed in the chest and fainted on the ground, and was obviously as ignorant as themselves.

Liu Si's injuries were serious.

But with the sufficient medical module reserves of the Tech Hunter, it was no pressure to pull him back from the brink of life and death.

Romi did not interfere with this.

At this moment, his remaining vision once again saw his former friend lying on the ground... If he knew that he had destroyed an intelligent core with his own hands, Liu Si would probably be the craziest, right?

This means that the civilization prospects of the entire continent will be missing a piece forever.

It can never be made up.

Mechanics and Tech Hunters have struggled for thousands of years... But the results they have obtained may not be worth the momentary setback at this moment.

However, its original owner.

Obviously will not care.

Even, will regard it as a huge success.

All the descendants of the members who participated in the operation will be granted honors and protection by the city-state for generations...if they have them.

Zheng——

The white-haired young man put the knife back into the sheath.

This time, he did not put the inscribed blade back into the "void backpack", but took out a simple but extremely tough leather sheath from it.

Hang it around his waist.

The Inscribed Blade·Horse-Slaying Sword is the symbol of the authority of the King of the Swamp, but this leather sheath was privately made for him after consultation by the major wandering tribes in the Land of Flash.

Lu Beiyou came to the Land of Flash and seemed to be a conqueror - but the herdsmen in the Land of Flash saw that the Red King expelled the beast disaster and broke the conspiracy of the guild. Everything he did afterwards was for the construction of this grassland, but he never asked them for anything.

He even paid a lot of resources.

There are certainly factors of mutual exchange and mutual benefit... But the same business started by the merchant guild has always been a layer of exploitation and plucking.

This leather sheath.

It's just a trivial thought.

On the enhanced information of Lu Meng's panel, the word [Masterpiece] appeared next to it... The so-called masterpiece level has nothing to do with technology, but depends on the inspiration and hard work of the craftsman.

It can be encountered but not sought.

The gift from the tribe of the Land of Flash turned out to be his first masterpiece-level protective gear.

This is enough to explain everything.

Now he sheathed the inscribed blade, quietly turned his back to everyone... He didn't even look at the intelligent core, leaving it broken to the ground.

Looking at his appearance, the Mine Hunters couldn't help but think of the situation not long ago when the other party took out the intelligent core for the sake of the Shandi, confronting the entire Mine Town and even the entire Southern Technology Hunters... At that time, he shouldered a heavy burden and determination.

However, at this moment.

The shattering of the intelligent core destroyed all hopes.

Although they stood at opposite ends in terms of interests before... But at this moment, none of the Mine Hunters wanted to mock.

They were also envious of the emergence of such a hero in the swamp forest and the Shandi plain, and lamented the ill-fated fate of their hometown... Now the same fate has come, but the other party has at least fought hard.

Even if they were defeated in the end.

Missed the opportunity.

It is not something that a small person like a fly can say.

Even when he saw Lu Beiyou, who had just descended like a martial god and had unparalleled swordsmanship, his back now showed a trace of loneliness and fragility... The pain of empathy unconsciously surged from his heart.

When they first met.

They called him the Red King, just following local customs... But at this moment, they really understood why the locals respected him so much.

Even worshipped him as the first fire.

Only he could bear such a heavy responsibility, and correspondingly, only he could successfully withstand the same blow.

In an instant, Romi felt countless angry eyes staring at him, as if they could burn through him.

Even he, who had already made up his mind.

He felt anxious and unbearable.

He forced himself to ignore these eyes and looked at the young man - to be honest, the other party was really scary young.

Now Romi, who has completely let go, is as calm as water, but when he saw this scene, a ripple appeared on the water.

"Kill me." He said.

He knew it would end like this.

Lu Beiyou did not respond.

Deathly silence.

"Besides this, you can't do anything else." Romi spoke again, "The acquisition and transfer of Ai Mine Town is a must. It is a project jointly promoted by Kaidun City and the Lagoon Lagoon. Now that you have lost the intelligent core, you should give up the plan to set up a station in Shandi as soon as possible, otherwise..."

He did not continue.

There are many things. With the knowledge of the Lord of Blood, he doesn't need to remind the other party.

It would be too hypocritical to say more.

And he originally wanted to entrust the other party to take care of Liu Si and Ai Mine Hunter, at least not to embarrass them. Wandering End may... However, this matter was caused by himself.

He is not qualified to say these words.

So, there is nothing to say.

Lu Beiyou finally turned around, the hood had been blown off his head, revealing soft white hair sticking to his forehead and face. He didn't look as intimidating as the lion and tiger before, and was clearly a more handsome ordinary person.

But, to everyone's surprise,

His expression was calmer than anyone expected...

Much calmer.

"!" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Romi's heart, and he panicked immediately, but he didn't know why.

Click.

The next moment, the strong wind of the fierce battle finally subsided in the hall, and it used the last bit of its remaining power to roll up the blue fragments.

Rolling at the feet of the young man.

He looked down.

The intelligent core was originally placed on the compartment stand of the stone pillar, but now it was shot down by the eagle crossbow, and half of the pillar was smashed into pieces.

But the previous cable.

It was still connected to it, but it was hanging down weakly.

Someone followed his sight and looked at the horrible wreckage together...

Then, he was stunned:

"Empty, empty?"

I saw that the blue sphere full of synapses was smashed into pieces by the eagle crossbow... But inside, there was nothing.

There were no sophisticated instruments, parts, or liquid metals, gel nanometers that were difficult for humans to understand... but nothing.

An empty shell!

Lu Meng picked up the fragments on the ground, put them in his hand, and then his palm sank.

Soon it returned to its original state.

He flicked it away casually - a simple technique.

Performance without physical objects.

From a distance, Romi took several steps back as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy punch.

His face was pale.

He only heard the other party say:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Deng Li guessed correctly... It is indeed fake."

"I'm just bluffing." Lu Meng walked to the half-destroyed stone pillar and reconnected the cable to the power supply. The blue broken shell suddenly lit up with a thunderbolt, and then the same lines as before appeared—— LED lights.

If there is any technical content in this ball, it is all in this.

Don't talk about on-site interpretation...if someone touches it and feels that the weight is wrong, they will immediately know whether it is true or false.

Even if you wait a little longer.

It will be revealed.

Of course, Lu Meng's last turn around and dive was a deliberate attempt to expose a flaw.

It is the trigger to lure the other party.

Even if a question is asked, it is enough to broadcast the pre-recorded answer. If it is beyond the scope, it can be explained that the experimental facilities are simple and the conditions are insufficient.

"But, but..." This time, none of the mourning mine hunters wanted to believe that they had clearly seen the interpretation results of the intelligent core and the experimental products...

"Of course it's to make you give up - a soldier never tires of deceit. For such a huge benefit, it's a pity that he used a little trick... but it's nothing, right?" Lu Meng took out a blood-stained and dried book from his invisible backpack. , is indeed the interpretation result of the intelligent core. It was obtained from a researcher of the Red Sword Regiment, and it also records various characteristics such as the appearance and interpretation method of the intelligent core. "This is what I want to use to trade with the black scratches, a bargaining chip... …That’s all we got.”

The second half of his sentence turned to Romi: "I'm very curious: I know the existence of the intelligent core because of the notes, but more than a year has passed and I haven't found its whereabouts. I can only make a fake comfort myself." Believers... But why is it you, so you are sure that the core of intelligence must be in my hands? "

"To be honest, I was scared." Lu Beiyou's eyes were puzzled. "I guessed that someone wanted to disrupt the cooperation between Sandi and Technology Hunters, so they would definitely interfere with it - but I didn't expect that you were here for the intelligent core."

Luo Mi paused, and astonishment gradually took over his expression - before that, when he heard the other party introduce that "the first person to discover is me", he immediately knew that the other party was lying, because the intelligent core was undoubtedly Cologne. Si found it first... But what if the other party was indeed lying, but on another level?

He...has no idea where the core is!

In the Iron Dome battle, Lu Beiyou finally won and became the king of the swamp, while Colons lost his intelligent core.

According to common sense.

It should fall into the hands of the Red King!

But……

In Shark Village, there was another force involved at that time... If the one in front of me is fake, then...

"Where is Deng Li?" You Ai Mine Hunter suddenly discovered that someone was missing among them at some point, but the scene was too chaotic and intense before, and the people were too messy to notice, "Where did he go..."

When the battle subsided and the intelligent core revealed its true form and everyone was shocked, Lu Meng seemed not to have heard the commotion on the other side, but the corner of his mouth still raised an imperceptible angle.

He flipped his wrist.

Grab the handle.

The crossbow's crossbow's crosshair pointed straight at Romi.

Finally, the last step has been reached.

The technological hunter in the distance was a crossbowman himself and had undergone biochemical transformation. His reaction was so sharp that he immediately sensed the majestic murderous intention, which was enough to cover himself completely.

However, Romy had lost his spare crossbow. The Eagle Crossbow was the most powerful in the world, but he had just shot that crucial but futile arrow... While dodging, he hurriedly cocked the bow.

Whoosh!

The arrow penetrated directly through his left eye.

Lu Meng raised the crossbow machine levelly, and the bowstring clanged.

The versatility of the old world crossbow can be said to be the best in the world, and there is no delay in firing.

And his shooting skills.

To a certain extent, it is better than bare-handed fighting, and second only to majoring in swordsmanship.

"As you wish," he said.
