Chapter 290: Unexpected Gains
The story between Lian Wushan and Huang Yuanhang may be touching, but it has nothing to do with Luo Yan.
Lian Wushan is loyal, but Luo Yan has no say in that.
All Luo Yan could do was to send Huang Yuanhang, this ‘loyal subject,’ to where he needed to go.
Lian Wushan didn’t waste any words, lifting his calloused hand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Red and yellow flames surged behind them.
Fire from the South!
Five streams of fire rose up like flags, making Lian Wushan look extraordinary, like a god descending to earth.
Luo Yan remained unmoved, a silver cross appeared in his red eyes.
He activated the “Oracle” to predict Lian Wushan’s next move.
He also used the secret technique “Open Yuan Wheel” and was pulled back most of the Elemental Power by Dan Niang’s “Grass Rejuvenation Pill”. It turned into a bright yellow flame, soaring fiercely, and transformed into shadows of mountains and water.
Lian Wushan calculated silently in his mind, and when Luo Yan entered his attack range, he kicked the platinum staff on the ground with force.
He infused the “South Li Fire” into the staff at the moment of body contact.
One side of the “fire flag” behind Lian Wushan suddenly disappeared, but the platinum staff was now emitting red flames, glowing hot, yet there was no heat where Lian Wushan touched it.
He shouted loudly.
Raise the stick.
Lightning strikes.
It was the Battle Technique: Poke Stick!
This strike was powerful, aiming towards Luo Yan’s face. Lian Wushan was confident that if he hit his opponent, including Luo Yan’s head, it would explode!
However.
Luo Yan suddenly swayed, moving like a dragonfly skimming over water, without any trace of smoke, and appeared on Lian Wushan’s left side.
Footwork: Dragonfly Touching Water!
Then the sword light surged!
Lian Wushan’s pupils dilated. It was too late to pull back his stick for defense. With his ample combat experience, he went along with the momentum of the strike, moving his body forward.
Dodge the sword strike from Luo Yan.
Lian Wushan didn’t want to take any risks, so he switched from holding the stick with one hand to holding it with both hands, and the ‘fire flag’ behind him disappeared from three directions.
The platinum staff was engulfed in crimson flames, roaring and soaring high into the air, then suddenly retreated completely into the staff without a trace of the fiery aura leaking out.
It was just a platinum staff, its body as red as a torch. As the long staff moved, the moisture in the air evaporated, turning into wisps of blue smoke.
Once again, Luo Yan moved without warning, stealthily cutting into Lian Wushan’s side.
Lian Wushan shouted loudly, swiftly moving both hands to the middle of the staff, then spinning the staff in a large circle, creating a crimson fire wheel.
Battle Technique: Flower Dance Stance!
Within the space surrounding Lian Wushan, continuous flames burst out within the range of this fire wheel, blossoming into a colorful array of flowers.
Forcing Luo Yan to temporarily keep his distance.
Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, then reached out and pushed a wooden crate on a shelf towards Lian Wushan without caring what was inside it.
The crate flew through the air, with Luo Yan closely behind it. Scales raised on his skin under his driving suit, then laid flat, covering his whole body.
‘Dragon Transformation’ stance!
On the other side, Lian Wushan saw the crate flying towards him. His fierce stick dance slowed down, and the end of his long stick turned from red to bare wood. With a gentle flick of the stick, he pushed the crate away using skillful precision.
Before the crate disappeared from sight, Luo Yan lunged towards him with a sword.
Countless red threads appeared in Lian Wushan’s eyes. Realizing he had no time to continue his stick dance, he could only shake his wrist, causing the platinum long stick to spin around his shoulder.
With his other hand gripping the stick’s head, he suddenly swung the platinum long stick swiftly, creating a red blaze in the air that seemed like a giant flaming flag, slashing towards Luo Yan’s head!
Battle Technique: Stick Slash!
At that moment, Luo Yan’s momentum did not stop, but like a prophet, he slightly tilted his body in advance, allowing Lian Wushan’s strike to pass by his nostrils.
Even though he wasn’t hit by the long stick, the intense heat made Luo Yan’s face feel very hot and painful.
Just in the nick of time.
Luo Yan, tilting to one side, glided past Lian Wushan as if on ice, quickly sheathing his now straightened sword. As Luo Yan turned around, he passed by the big man who started bleeding from the neck.
“Wait…”
Lian Wushan reached out to catch Luo Yan, but only caught air.
The solitary ‘fire flag’ behind him dissipated, his eyes losing their sparkle as his burly figure collapsed next to the huge hole he had just made.
Luo Yan went deeper into the cargo hold, casually inspecting one of the shelves which displayed the words ‘Raw materials for potions’ on an electronic screen.
He opened a box, finding neatly arranged raw materials for some potions inside.
As he walked on, Luo Yan noticed that there were quite a lot of things in the cargo hold.
Besides ingredients for potions, there are various materials from giant beasts, a refrigerated live Giant Beast Parasite, and even a Giant Beast Core.
In addition, there are a hundred sets of ‘Jianggui’ data processors. With these things, as long as there are materials, one hundred ‘Jianggui’ can be manufactured again.
Although this half-mecha cannot be compared with regular mechas, it is far less agile than Luo Yan’s small mecha.
However, the ‘Jianggui’ half-mecha excels in not needing empathy. Those data processors replace the empathy system. Apart from requiring multiple operators, the pilot’s requirements are much simpler than those of other mechas.
Ordinary people can operate it after training, without the need to practice Visualization Technique, and it is more versatile.
It’s not surprising that the base had to evacuate urgently; it’s feared that half of the assets at ‘Wild Horse Base’ are in this carriage.
Luo Yan walked to the last shelf, where the electronic screen displayed the word ‘Miscellaneous.’
He casually opened a box containing a pair of ornamental swords that were more for display than practical use.
He opened four or five more boxes, some containing finished potions, some exquisite pistols for collecting, and one box full of gold bars.
Outside, a giant beast roared, making Luo Yan quickly activate the ‘Eye of Reality’ scan to prevent the giant beast from approaching without his knowledge.
As soon as ‘Eye of Reality’ was activated, a faint white light flashed in the corner of his eye.
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment and looked down towards the bottom of the shelves. There was a suitcase placed on the bottom shelf, emitting the faint white light.
Luo Yan opened the suitcase and found it to be filled with various items.
There were a cellphone, keys, and some documents, all looking like personal belongings.
Among these items, Luo Yan found a tin flask. Carefully opening it, he discovered a ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ inside!
Luo Yan’s eyes lit up with excitement.
This was indeed an unexpected discovery.
However, he felt puzzled.
Who would put the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ in a wine pot and throw it on the cluttered shelf?
If the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ comes into contact with someone who has unlocked the Divine Hidden Art, it will automatically disappear into their body.
Unless someone like Luo Yan, who has already evolved and broken through the Divine Hidden Art, it is possible to lose its effect.
So, putting the fragment into the wine pot must be an ordinary person.
But ordinary people wouldn’t know about the existence and value of the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’, so why would they store it so carefully?
Unless they were asked by someone else.
And that person knows what the ‘Primordial Stone Fragment’ is and what it does!
