Chapter 281: Eight Strangenesses
Luckily, the pain came and went quickly. In two or three seconds, Luo Yan returned to normal, just sweating.
He checked the time and realized it had been nearly two months since Bai Chou had removed the poison from him.
However, it seemed that the blood poison, even if it hadn’t reached the point of acting up, was getting close.
Luo Yan didn’t want to take any chances. He took out a bottle of ‘superior reliever’ given to him by the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’ and gave himself an injection to prevent the blood poison from acting up during battle.
Evening came.
Nine monster-like mecha transport vehicles joined forces with the ground armed forces, forming a long convoy heading towards the direction of the ‘Wild Horse Base.’
As the sun set and darkness covered the land, they finally stopped for a rest in the desolate wilderness.
Luo Yan got off the vehicle and saw Dugu Changxin sitting on a rock, blowing into a leaf by his mouth, creating a sad but cold sound.
Not far away, Bai Chou sat cross-legged on the open space, looking more like she was meditating rather than practicing.
Perhaps feeling Luo Yan’s gaze, she opened her eyes without wearing a blindfold and looked at Luo Yan.
“Classmate Luo.”
Luo Yan nodded and sat down beside her, asking, “Am I interrupting you?”
“Not at all.” Bai Chou shook her two ponytails, still struggling to control her muscles, and gave a strange smile, but no longer covered her face with her hands like before.
“Your ‘strangeness’…” Luo Yan paused, then simply said, “is very unique.”
Bai Chou giggled a few times and then began counting on her fingers, “Black Void, White Child, A’fang, Trickster…”
“Blue Demon, Ah Gu, Dan Niang, headless general.”
“In total, ‘Eight Strangenesses’ are the limit I can currently control.”
“Moreover, it is incomplete manipulation.”
Luo Yan nodded, he could only match some of these names with ‘strangeness’.
Luo Yan has not seen Bai Chou use ‘Ah Gu’ and ‘Dan Niang’ before, so he doesn’t know what abilities these two ‘strangeness’ have.
He did not inquire further, it is impolite to pry into others’ secrets, especially when they are his companions and life-savers.
Luo Yan is very clear about gratitude and grudges.
Those who receive kindness, repay with a spring.
Those who hold grudges, will retaliate fiercely.
Therefore, Luo Yan will not inquire further, nor will he use the ‘Eye of Reality’ to probe the truth and secrets of people like Di Zheng and Bai Chou.
“The Primordial Stone Fragment can transform the Divine Hidden Art, Classmate Luo, have you used it?” After Bai Chou finished speaking, she covered her mouth gently with her hand, “I seem to have asked something I shouldn’t have.”
Luo Yan shook his head, saying, “It’s okay, I’ve transformed the ‘Qi Observing Eye’ into the ‘Illusion Breaking Eye.'”
“Its abilities are barrier-breaking, illusion recognition, long-distance viewing, strong memory, and Qi observation.”
Bai Chou’s pupils slightly dilated, then she glanced at her own clothes corner, saying, “Thank you, Classmate Luo.”
“Thank you for trusting me so much.”
Luo Yan earnestly said, “You also told me all the ‘strangeness’ names.”
Bai Chou quickly raised her head and said, “But you don’t know their abilities. Let me tell you, Hei Wu can help me find my target, hide my form if wrapped around me, and keep my presence concealed.”
“Bai Tong looks like a paper doll burnt for ancestors, it can take attacks instead of me and instantly teleport me to a safe place.”
“A’fang is like a house that can accommodate me, protect me, and attack enemies, like a tank or war chariot.”
……
After chatting with Bai Chou for a while, Luo Yan went back to his transport vehicle and closed the door to practice Visualization Technique.
Two days later, the convoy arrived at a deserted city about a hundred kilometers away from ‘Wild Horse Base’, using the city as cover to prepare for the attack on the base.
After meeting with the commander of the armed forces, captains Yan Wenbo and Hao Dexu briefed Luo Yan and the team on the latest developments.
The armed forces have successfully rescued the hostages and are on their way to rendezvous with the main forces. Once the hostages are safely returned, the final attack will begin.
As per the armed forces’ estimation, the final attack will commence in an hour, prompting Luo Yan and the team to enter their respective mechas’ cockpits and prepare for battle.
Sitting in the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan observed his surroundings through the panoramic window.
On the command console, a window opened displaying several off-road vehicles escorting a passenger bus traveling on the highway.
The bus was transporting the Guangling investigation team who were previously detained as hostages upon arriving at Wild Horse Base. They have now been rescued.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed.
Just then.
On the screen of the command console, the convoy driving on the road was suddenly enveloped in a dark shadow.
Before figuring out what had happened, the image on the window disappeared suddenly.
Luo Yan frowned slightly.
This was obviously the result of a drone being destroyed while tracking from the sky.
Then, on the communication channel, the communication soldier of the armed forces was shouting loudly, “Red Star, Red Star, what’s happening to you?”
“We’re under attack.”
Electronic noise and men’s shouting filled the channel.
Soon new images appeared on the command console, showing footage taken from an off-road vehicle acting as a guard.
In the shaky camera footage, a big robot called mecha descended from the sky with wings like an airplane and flames shooting out from behind.
Luo Yan remembered the information about the mechas from ‘Wild Horse Base’ and immediately challenged a mecha named ‘Vulture.’
This old model mecha from ‘Wild Horse Base’ had wings and a jetpack installed by engineers, allowing it to fly short distances.
Its arms were equipped with claw-like components, and the mecha that had landed on the ground grabbed a passenger car with one claw and threw it away with a roar.
The car flew hundreds of meters and crashed to the ground, falling apart, with people inside flying like fleas in the air and then crashing back down.
Luo Yan squinted his eyes slightly.
The hostage died.
Although the remaining security vehicles tried to attack the mecha fiercely, it was no use, as the ‘Vulture’ easily cleared them out with a few swipes.
There was a moment of silence on the communication channel.
After a moment, the commander of the armed forces roared, “Attack all forces!”
“Attack all forces!”
Luo Yan quickly switched the communication to the team channel and heard Yan Wenbo say, “Let’s stick to the original plan, but we need to take out that ‘Vulture’ first.”
“Luo Yan, go take it out!”
Luo Yan nodded, looked out of the panoramic window, and saw a black dot rising outside the city.
Vulture!
Immediately, ‘White Dragon’ started running, and after a few steps, the main and eight auxiliary jetpacks on the back of the mecha started one by one.
Boom!
‘White Dragon’ emitted eight blue flames of varying lengths and thicknesses behind it, creating a huge thrust that made the mecha soar into the sky, chasing after the ‘Vulture’ in the distance!
