Chapter 275: Choosing a Location
Who knows how strong Bai Chou’s Ghost Hands are, but when it tossed the Spiraling Tortoise, the giant beast spun like a coin until it got dizzy and fell to the ground.
Despite this, the Spiraling Tortoise continued sliding across the ground due to inertia, crushing a bunch of trees before finally stopping.
The giant beast shook its head, unable to get up immediately, but at that moment, a whistle sounded over the treetops.
Soon after, a ballistic missile came down from the sky.
Just in time, the Spiraling Tortoise regained consciousness and quickly retracted its head into its shell.
The missile exploded with a loud bang, and a big orange fireball expanded and rose, sending shockwaves in all directions that made the trees around bend down like wheat.
The missile came from the Hailong Heavy Mortar on the ‘White Dragon’.
After scoring a hit, Luo Yan controlled his mecha to raise the shield forwards.
Suddenly, a dark green smoke billowed out from the flames.
Spiraling Tortoise! Poison fog!
Just as it was about to reach ‘White Dragon’, an invisible barrier appeared in front of the mecha.
Luo Yan turned his head and saw Kang Shun’s mecha ‘Judge’ forming hand seals.
After summoning ‘Empty Wall’, Kang Shun formed another hand seal, causing Elemental Power Chains to appear in the air, entangling Spiraling Tortoise’s head and limbs, immobilizing it.
At the same time, Dugu Changxin’s mecha ‘Flying Thunder’ held the silver spear ‘Dragon Courage’.
It swiftly charged towards Spiraling Tortoise.
‘Flying Thunder’ still had the appearance of an ancient warrior, but with some variations, especially the beast-like golden arms on its forearms.
Clearly, this robot has been upgraded.
In an instant, ‘Flying Thunder’ raced to the side of Spiraling Tortoise.
The silver spear ‘Dragon Courage’ was swung vigorously, forming an arc. The spearhead broke through the water like a dragon, with a loud clang that lingered.
The entire long spear turned into a blurry silhouette, hitting the head of Spiraling Tortoise. The giant beast’s head shattered like a smashed watermelon.
With a loud bang, it shattered, and flesh and blood surged into the air along with the spear, guided by an invisible force, vaguely outlining a dragon head.
Battle Technique: Dragon Rise!
With one thrust, the giant beast was killed, and the glow of the engines and energy nodes on ‘Flying Thunder’ began to dim.
The robot turned around, raised the spear, and passed by ‘White Dragon’.
Luo Yan smiled in the cockpit.
Dugu Changxin did not respond to the subtle provocation.
As Yanfu Space in the air disappeared, and no new giant beast was released, the underground city went through another crisis.

Blues Bar.
“One more drink!” Yan Wenbo shouted loudly, and patted the female bartender’s pert buttocks, causing Kang Shun to cough repeatedly to indicate disapproval.
“Why not relax and celebrate after winning a battle?”
“Don’t you think so, Little Luo?”
Luo Yan sat to the side, with glasses of juice in front of him and Bai Chou.
He doesn’t drink alcohol, but Bai Chou doesn’t like beer.
Luo Yan looked at the tired eyes of Captain Yan Wenbo, worried that he might drink himself into a stupor.
Yan Wenbo glanced back at Luo Yan and reassured him, “Don’t worry, despite appearances, I’m in good shape.”
“I may look a bit older on the outside than you youngsters, but I’m as strong as ever.”
“Don’t believe me? Ask my women; they cry and beg me to stop every night.”
“Isn’t that right, Ah Hong?”
He looked at the female bartender.
Ah Hong snorted, “Nonsense! He pesters me for ages, but it’s all over in a minute. If I didn’t beg him to hurry up, he’d probably bother me all night long.”
“Hahaha.”
Nearby Mecha Masters burst into laughter.
The pale face of Yan Wenbo turned slightly red, but still stubbornly said, “But you still begged me, didn’t you?”
“This doesn’t count as a slap in the face! It doesn’t!”
The Mecha Masters started cheering.
A faint smile appeared on Luo Yan’s indifferent face.
He looked around again.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Thoughts started to emerge in his mind.
A few nights later.
Luo Yan wore a cloak, carried the ‘Ring Dragon’, pulled his hood tight over half his face, and walked through the dirty and dusty night market.
Not far from Zeng Shan’s home, on the narrow and rough streets, people walked with their heads down, hurrying past the various thick smoke from hot pot and barbecue stalls.
In the cold and dim alleys, one could occasionally see women in red dresses and white legs, and hear soft and seductive whispers and laughter.
When Luo Yan stopped, he stood in front of a small, rundown shop located in a shallow alley, only three to four meters deep.
It was a music store, with dim lighting, dusty stereo equipment piled together, and various records casually placed on shelves.
An old-fashioned record player, belonging to the grandfather’s generation, was playing songs by singer Xu Xiaofeng. Behind the counter, an old man was nodding off to the song that was half a century old.
Outside the shop, a paper was posted with the words ‘Store for Rent’ written on it.
At that moment, footsteps resounded.
Luo Yan looked back.
Wen Zou, Wei Junyi, and some members of Team 7 appeared in front of the dim lights of the music store one by one.
“Captain.”
Wen Zou smiled and said, “This is the little shop I told you about, see if it meets the requirements.”
Inspired a few days ago, Luo Yan decided to run a bar business to disguise his identity and expand the influence of Black Abyss Team 7.
After Wen Zou and the others arrived in Guangling, he told them to look for a suitable storefront in this lawless area.
Luo Yan nodded and walked in.
Wen Zou followed, while the others dispersed into the surrounding darkness under Wei Junyi’s lead.
Upon entering the store, Luo Yan found that the music store was much larger than he had imagined.
The place is spacious, after the renovation, it’s just right to open a small bar.
Plus, it’s located in an alley, not too showy.
So she nodded.
Signaled Wen Zou to negotiate the price with the shop owner.
Wen Zou understood, walked to the counter, cleared his throat a few times.
The old man behind the counter looked confused and said slowly, “What…would you like…”
Wen Zou smiled and said, “Sir, are you looking to sell this shop?”
The old man hard of hearing, leaned in and asked loudly, “What did you say?”
Wen Zou, feeling helpless, had to shout, “I’m asking if you’re selling this shop?”
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door shouted, “What are you talking about?”
“We’re taking over this shop for ‘Black Finger’. You two, get lost quickly.”
“Get lost as far as you can!”
Luo Yan turned around and glanced indifferently.
Seven or eight men came in from outside, and each of them had their middle fingers dyed black.
Lawless zone.
A mix of good and bad people, all sorts of gangs.
Luo Yan had expected this early on.
Seeing this so-called ‘Black Finger’, he wasn’t very surprised either.
He turned around and casually picked up a record to look at.
Among those men, the leader squinted his eyes, reached out, and grabbed Luo Yan’s shoulder.
“Brother, this is a bit inappropriate.”
“Didn’t your mom teach you to look at others when they speak?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red flash appeared before his eyes.
Then an arm fell to the ground.
Wen Zou appeared next to him, hands tucked into his oversized sleeves, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand.
The fake Taoist smiled, “Sorry, my husband doesn’t like to interact with strangers.”
“What do you have to say to me?”
PS: I’m feeling better today, my energy is okay, I don’t have a cough or a sore throat. It’s just that my muscles in my back are sore and I feel a bit weak, but it’s okay because typing on the keyboard doesn’t require much effort.
This illness is really contagious, one person in my family falls sick each day, but luckily they all recover after resting for a day with no fever.
Everyone needs to be careful, even after recovering, don’t go exercising or anything, just rest and take care of yourself.
