Chapter 501: Mechanical Affinity
The masked man must be killed!
At all costs!
This was the final result of the last high-level meeting at Zero Point Tavern.
Although there were oppositions from veteran figures like Zhuang Ren, several other veterans overwhelmed his opinions and forced the resolution through.
Of course, such high-level matters will not be known to the lower-level people.
However, after that meeting, several of the next generations trained by the veteran figures encountered accidents. Some broke their arms, some broke both legs, and one unlucky guy even had his middle leg chopped off.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Zhuang Ren must have done this.
He is venting his dissatisfaction.
However, the other elders did not retaliate in kind and did not deal with Zhuang Ren's apprentice Yi Yi.
They chose to keep quiet.
If the rift between the elders is not handled properly, it is very likely to lead to the split of the entire Zero Point Tavern.
They can only blame all of this on the masked weirdo. Only by killing the masked weirdo as soon as possible can they nip the possibility of future division in the bud!
Many things are happening silently in places that Su Xia can't see.
The Zero Point Tavern has sent out countless elite teams, lying in ambush in many places around the world. Wherever Su Xia is likely to appear, there will be people from the Zero Point Tavern.
Town No. 7 is such a place.
The team lying in ambush here, led by the codename [Cross Skull], is an old killer who has been famous for many years. He once participated in the racial war and is a ruthless man who survived many brutal wars.
"Cross Skull!"
Ginny looked angry, her pretty face was cold, and her voice was full of murderous intent.
Her golden hair fluttered, and with a wave of her cold hands, the buildings in front of the town collapsed together, as if it was the end of the world. There were constant rumblings and flying dust, and thousands of metal fragments rose up in an instant, which was extremely spectacular!
In an instant, the entire world was covered in broken metal, as if a metal rain would fall at any time!
In the small town, the mercenaries and members of the South Wind Organization who were fighting stopped.
They opened their eyes wide and stared in amazement, as if they were witnessing another miracle!
The next moment, thousands of metal fragments rolled up wildly, like a mad alloy dragon, and crashed into a shadow area.
"boom!"
The earth was shaking and it was deafening, as if a major earthquake had occurred!
The town was already dark, and the flying dust completely obscured the view, with visibility in the town being less than five meters.
Fortunately, a large number of buildings were burning, and the blazing flames could penetrate the dust, barely providing guidance for the rest of the people in the town.
"He is not dead yet, his breath is still there!" The barrel roared, his eyes wide open.
"Damn it, that bastard is the hardest to kill!"
In front of the town, the strange black energy that blocked Suxia was still there, which meant that the cross skull survived Ginny's attack just now.
The energies were extremely viscous, like solidified black ink, or like freshly mined oil, and were extremely difficult to deal with.
This is also a way to use psychic power.
"Su, hold on!"
"We will be able to kill the Cross Skull soon, just give us some time!"
They were all very worried, after all, Su Xia had not yet fully grown up.
When facing a veteran level six killer like the Cross Skull, even creatures with the same psychic power level would be extremely cautious, let alone a newcomer like Su Xia.
They could only pray that Su Xia could hold on a little longer until they got rid of the Cross Skull.
"He's over there!"
The Night Owl's eyes were sharp, like a long sword, piercing through layers of haze and pointing directly at a shadow in front of the crowd on the right.
The next second, he opened his mouth and roared, emitting an ultra-high frequency sound wave that ordinary people could not hear at all.
Then, Francis looked indifferent, raised his hand and fired a shot.
"Bang!"
The two of them moved one in front and one behind, cooperating with each other in perfect harmony.
The barrel then took action, leaping suddenly. His sturdy body was like a huge rock, with muscles bulging all over his body and his clothes bursting, and he slammed heavily into that area.
He is like a giant humanoid beast, with the gift of "enormous strength". His bone strength and muscle density are far beyond those of ordinary people, and he can smash the heads of ordinary creatures with one punch.
No normal psychic creature would want to be close to him, because if they get close to him, they will die!
This time, however, Gragas met his match.
“Boom!”
In the shadows, a shadow leaped up and collided directly with the huge wine barrel, with an extremely violent impact.
The man was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground, causing smoke and dust to rise.
The wine barrel was unexpectedly knocked flying, and flew straight into the jungle behind, causing wood chips to fly and smashing several large trees before it stopped.
This scene made the rest of the team feel depressed.
The opponent is well prepared, they are also a team!
The Cross Skull is good at assassination, and his concealment, speed, and vigilance are all first-class. His physical fitness is not strong, and one shot can take his life. It is impossible for him to collide with the humanoid monster Barrel.
"Haha, is this the legendary wine barrel? Nothing special!"
From the shadow, an equally sturdy figure leaped out. It was the man who had just collided with the wine barrel.
He looked younger, probably in his twenties, with short blond hair, and muscles that looked like they were about to explode. His body was terrifyingly horrific, with his forearms thicker than many people's thighs. He was a muscular beast!
His eyes were a little red, and he seemed a little excited. He licked his lips and stared at the place where the wine barrel fell into the jungle.
"Wine barrel, do you still dare to come?" He shouted loudly in a hoarse voice.
"What are you afraid of?" The barrel jumped out and landed heavily on the ground. He suddenly looked up and stared at the man. "You are a junior who takes drugs every day. I can smell the smell of drugs on you from hundreds of meters away. Do you think you can fight me just by growing muscles from taking drugs?"
"Senior, please don't look down on those who spray pesticides!"
The man twisted his neck, smiled cruelly, and then leaped forward suddenly. The instantaneous burst of force pushed him directly in front of the wine barrel.
At this moment, the rest of the team was also entangled by different opponents.
"call out--"
A sinister bullet flew out from the depths of the jungle and headed straight for Ginny's back at an extremely tricky angle.
Fortunately, Ginny reacted in time and blocked the bullet.
Francis' face darkened, holding the sniper rifle, and whispered, "I'll go deal with that guy. Give me five minutes."
"careful!"
"Um."
After saying that, Francis walked into the jungle with a sniper rifle.
It was already past seven in the evening, and most of the jungle was pitch black. Only the western area was burning with fire. The sounds of wind, explosions, falling leaves, collapsing tree trunks, the chirping of wild animals and insects, etc. were all intertwined together, interfering with the sniper's perception.
A death duel between snipers unfolded in the darkness of the jungle.
On the other side, members of the team codenamed "Unicycle" also encountered danger.
In the darkness, more than ten faint threads were entwined around him.
If you don't pay attention, you can't see the spider-web-like threads at all.
But one of the unicycle's eyes suddenly turned red, and its pupil turned blood red and kept flashing, like a robot that sensed the crisis, and an alarm instantly sounded in its mind.
"Want to kill me?"
The wheelbarrow snorted coldly, and its body twisted and deformed instantly. A few light crackling sounds came from its body, and the whole person strangely split into several parts, avoiding the strangulation of those filaments.
Among the entire team, his body modification level is the highest, with most of his body mechanized.
This is naturally related to his talent.
Mechano-affinity.
That's his talent.
He is a master of mechanical manufacturing and repair, and as long as he has the materials, he can quickly create powerful weapons.
Therefore, he directly transformed his body into a material warehouse so that he could turn himself into a mobile mechanical fortress when needed.
The next moment, the several mechanical bodies that split off from him all began to tremble.
“Buzz—buzz—”
The left arm mechanical module split in the middle, and four propeller wings separated from the upper layer. The alloy shell of the lower layer faded away layer by layer, revealing a monitor that looked like an eye.
Soon, the four propeller wings began to spin rapidly, driving the monitor into the sky, acting as eyes in the sky to provide the unicycle with a view of the area below.
The right arm module split again and turned into mechanical drill mines that looked like spiders. They drilled into the surrounding humus mud, dived into the ground, and waited for an opportunity to act.
Different changes have also been made to the remaining separated modules.
Some of them turned into worm-sized mechanical clones, and some turned into sensory weapons, surrounding the unicycle in a tight circle.
As long as the opponent dares to appear again, he will face a violent attack from countless mechanical weapons.
"Hmph, the Midnight Tavern, it's still the same after all these years, a bunch of shady trash!" The wheelbarrow snorted coldly and mocked mercilessly.
"Hey, it's a good thing that we no longer associate with this bunch of trash!" said Night Owl with a sneer.
"Don't waste time, kill them quickly, Su may not be able to hold on for much longer!" Cuckoo Bird urged harshly. In her hand there was a bloody head, which belonged to her opponent!
Her opponent is also quite powerful, codenamed [Doomsday Gunner], and is a level five creature.
As level five creatures, many times the difference between life and death is a matter of a split second, especially in close combat.
"Cross Skull, where are you, wild dog, hiding?" Wheelbarrow shouted.
"We had a fight back then, and I beat you like a dog, but due to the rules of the tavern, I couldn't kill you. I really miss the feeling of beating you until you begged for mercy..."
He was extremely sarcastic, his voice like a knife, just to force the cross skull out.
But the mentality of a veteran like Cross Skull was so strong that he ignored him and didn't even make a response.
If he made the slightest noise, the team would be able to find him again.
But he didn't.
Even when his teammate's head was chopped off, he remained absolutely silent.
"Damn it, this bastard won't come out!"
"Sue, can you hear us? How are you?"
Several people were a little anxious.
The Cross Skull has very special abilities. If you can't kill him, you won't be able to destroy the special psychic field he has constructed.
The space where he trapped Su Xia was his own unique world.
Ginny glanced around with a cold expression, carefully sensing the situation around her.
She was a little anxious at first, but soon thought of Su Xia's ability, so the other teammates said, "Don't worry, Su is a space traveler, he has the ability to enter another space to avoid harm."
"Yes, Su can enter the different space!" Unicycle slapped his forehead and recalled the information and description about Su Xia.
"But why hasn't he come out yet?" The cuckoo frowned slightly.
"Maybe... he thinks the same as we do." Ginny said calmly.
"What's the same?" asked the wheelbarrow.
"Of course, kill the Cross Skull!" Ginny said with certainty.
"Ah? Sue... can he do that?"
"Trust him!"
Ginny's hair fluttered as she glanced at the space that seemed to be isolated by sticky oil.
The facts are exactly as she said.
Su Xia has the ability to escape from this sticky world.
He could have left anytime he wanted, but he didn't.
"This ability is quite magical. It quantifies spiritual power into a small world similar to a field. It is similar to the trick that Moser used to try to trap me last time." Su Xia looked calm, his expression did not change much from beginning to end, and he looked around quietly.
He was surprised at first.
After all, the guy code-named Cross Skull was able to evade the perception of a group of high-level psychic creatures and get close to him and attack him.
Even the Gun King Francis didn't notice it in advance. That guy's hiding skills are really good.
Su Xia vaguely remembered that among the teaching materials at the Zero Point Tavern, there was an advanced textbook on concealment and assassination compiled by the Cross Skull.
You can buy a set of his teaching materials for only 4,999 yuan.
For many novices, this kind of information from big guys is tantamount to a shortcut that can help them avoid many detours and even save their lives at critical moments.
But Su Xia had never read those teaching materials, and he relied entirely on his own strength and props when he went out.
"He can write advanced textbooks and is a level 6 biology expert, so he is considered a half-veteran. He actually came to kill me personally. It seems that the Zero Point Tavern can no longer sit still... Is it because of internal conflicts?"
After a little thought, Su Xia figured out the key point of the problem.
The Zero Point Tavern's several actions against him all ended in failure, and even Fan Lu died. It was definitely embarrassing.
"They are eager to kill me, so they even sent out people of this level." Su Xia smiled, then looked around and said, "Cross Skull, if you die in my hands, what will the Zero Point Tavern do? Will the elders go out in person?"
The Cross Skull remained silent and did not reply.
However, this dark and sticky space suddenly began to fluctuate.
Then, a pair of huge hands like tar suddenly rose from the ground. They looked extremely terrifying and suddenly hugged Su Xia's legs, as if trying to drag him into a darker world.
At the same time, a black inverted cross slowly emerged on the black dome above Su Xia's head.
A skull is embedded on the top of the cross, which looks extremely hideous, like the scepter of the evil god of hell.
All of this seems like an illusion, yet it is extremely real, neither true nor false, and it is difficult to tell the difference.
"boom!"
A ball of fire suddenly spewed out of the black skull's eyes.
The raging fire instantly enveloped Su Xia's entire body, but he did not feel any physical burning pain. Instead, it directly affected his spirit.
Mental shock!
After that night in Conch City, Su Xia's weakness had been discovered by the Zero Point Tavern, which was mental defense.
He was unable to resist spiritual attacks, which gave Zero Point Tavern the opportunity to kill him.
The sticky field of the Cross Skull looks weird, but all appearances are meant to distract the trapped prey and cover up this final mental attack!
"hiss……"
Su Xia's face suddenly changed, and he held his head tightly, looking even more painful.
After a while, he thought about it seriously, and felt that the pain seemed not enough, so he distorted his face to look more painful.
