BXBX NOVEL Chapter 656 - Provocation
There were eight people inside the two war chariots, and they were the Sky Fighters who had come with them on the spacecraft.
Lan Xuanyu had heard from their conversation that they belonged to the Spirit Pagoda.
“Aiyo, Shrek’s little kids are just walking! How frugal, they don’t have money, huh?” Seeing that the two all-terrain war chariots were about to reach them, a young man in the first war chariot patted the war chariot beneath him and said to Lan Xuanyu and the rest.
Lan Mengqin, who was next to Lan Xuanyu, frowned and was about to retort when she was stopped by Lan Xuanyu.
“We’re just poor students, we naturally can’t compare to the rich people from the Spirit Pagoda,” Lan Xuanyu replied with a smile.
The young man in the car laughed. “Then we’ll take our leave first. We’ll compete later and see if it’s you guys or us who will collect more Dragon Source Crystals. Although you guys have more people, you’re still young, so let’s just compete evenly. We only have eight people, haha.”
As they laughed, the two war chariots suddenly sped up and swaggered off. In an instant, dust flew everywhere, causing the students from Shrek Academy to be covered in dust.
Many students looked at Lan Xuanyu subconsciously, but he shook his head and waved his hand at the same time, not allowing them to move.
The two war chariots whistled past, and next to the young man who spoke just now was a young girl who looked to be around 20 years old. She turned around and looked at the green figures in the distance and said to the young man, “Shrek Academy’s temperament is quite good! But it’s rare to see so many people carrying out missions at the same time. They should be fourth years from the Outer Court.”
The smile on the young man’s face disappeared. “Not simple, not simple at all. I tested them on purpose to see their reaction. They’re stronger than I thought.”
“How can you tell?” The young girl asked curiously.
The young man said, “They were calm and didn’t reveal too many emotions. The young man in the lead was very calm. More importantly, did you notice that although the others were angry, none of them spoke. It was obvious that they only listened to that young man. Did we have such organization and discipline at this age?”
The young lady was somewhat unconvinced. “What’s the use of being organized and disciplined? In the face of strength, it’s all futile.”
The young man shook his head and said, “There’s no need to consider the strength of the students from Shrek Academy. Fourth years are all at least One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Although they aren’t equipped with any powerful soul devices, they shouldn’t be simple. We’ll know their strength after observing the amount of Dragon Source Crystals they’ll bring back. We have to make the best use of our time and don’t let these little guys defeat us.”
“En en. We’ll get more Dragon Source Crystals this time, this is good stuff! Other than handing in missions, we’ll bring some back for research and the higher-ups will take it very seriously. If they can create a new type of Spirit Soul, we’ll be able to make a great contribution.”
This wasn’t the only group that passed by Lan Xuanyu’s team. Very soon, over ten mechas flew past them. They were all purple mechas, and one of them was even black. The pilots of these mechas were all Sky Fighters, and it was very likely people from their group earlier.
They were either mechas or all-terrain war chariots. Compared to them, Shrek Academy’s 30-odd people were much more shabby.
With the air filtering system of the mechas and war chariots, the other party’s situation was naturally better than theirs.
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and pointed in the direction of those mechas. “Speed up and follow them.”
Everyone immediately released their soul power and increased their speed as they chased after the dozen or so mechas. Their speed was only driven by their soul power, so of course, they couldn’t compare to mechas. But it wasn’t a problem to just follow the general direction.
Lan Mengqin looked at the calm Lan Xuanyu beside her and suddenly had a strange feeling because she suddenly recalled the time when they followed Yuanen Huihui from afar during the entrance exam.
In the end, not only did he take away most of the benefits, he even made Yuanen Huihui shed tears of gratitude. At that time, she already knew how evil Lan Xuanyu was.
And at this very moment, this scene was a replica of what happened back then! There was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu would make use of his fellow Sky Fighters.
After passing through the no man’s land, they arrived at a hilly area with all sorts of plants growing on it. There weren’t many of them and they were quite sparse. There weren’t any signs of life.
Lan Xuanyu said, “Everyone, be careful. The plants here are poisonous. Try not to get close to any plants. Also, pay attention to whether there are any changes in the air to prevent poisonous gas. Frenzie, follow those mechas and keep us updated at any time.”
“Alright,” Liu Feng replied. With a flash, he increased his speed and turned into a silver light. He increased his speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and released his spiritual power, quietly sensing the situation in the distance. Before he left, he tested the strength of his spiritual power and found that it had already broken through 8,000 points. This was the benefit of advancing to four-ring. At this rate, when he would graduate from the Outer Court, he would be able to break through 10,000 points and reach the mid-level of the Spirit Abyss realm.
His perception was now able to extend to a diameter of about 1,000 meters. If there were any enemies in close proximity, he would definitely discover them immediately.
“All agility-type soul masters, move out. Investigate on both sides, the distance is 1,000 meters.” Other than Liu Feng, the remaining agility-type soul masters split into two sides and scouted. With those mechas in front and Liu Feng in front, there was naturally no need to allocate manpower.
Not long after, Lan Xuanyu’s soul communication device lit up.
At this moment, their soul communication devices were not connected through satellites but through the radio signals in their respective communication devices. Within a certain range, they were able to communicate with each other. With their current technology, as long as they did not travel across half a planet, they could communicate with each other. Of course, there were some planets with strong magnetic fields that were exceptions.
Liu Feng’s message was very simple. The mechas had already slowed down and were searching about 10 kilometers ahead. They were obviously looking for Proto Dragons.
Lan Xuanyu turned on the communication device and said, “Frenzie, take a look around. If there are any Proto Dragons, lure them over and we’ll get closer.”
“Understood.”
The mechas in front slowed down, but Lan Xuanyu’s team continued to accelerate. As the mechas were scouting ahead, they didn’t have to worry about a Proto Dragon’s attack. Their speed naturally surpassed the mechas, and the distance between them gradually closed.
There wasn’t any news of the appearance of Proto Dragons on both sides. Lan Xuanyu wasn’t anxious at all. They had a full ten days, and the first few days were mainly to familiarize themselves with the Proto Dragons and not to venture deeper.
Safety first. He had to ensure the safety of his teammates.
“Found one Proto Dragon. I’m luring it over.” Ten minutes later, Liu Feng’s message came again. In the distance, there were already rumblings. Obviously, there was more than one Proto Dragon.
Lan Xuanyu immediately ordered all the agility-type soul masters on both sides to retreat. All of them moved forward carefully.
The rumbling sounds ahead became clearer, and Liu Feng kept sending back messages.
The dozen mechas were already engaged in battle with Proto Dragons. They had discovered three of them and the battle was intense. The Proto Dragons’ attacks were very unique.
Liu Feng sent a short video over. As it was a radio connection, the signal was limited and he couldn’t broadcast it to them.
