Meng Chao found himself speechless.
After being stunned for a long time, he could only sigh and say, "Looks like you won't believe me no matter what I say. Alright, I won't force you. You can leave."
He waved his hand to chase A 'Ji away.
His straightforward demeanor made A 'Ji hesitate.
"But there's something you have to think about. Right now, the enemy is causing trouble in your house."
Meng Chao could see A 'Ji's hesitation. He stared into his eyes and said, "If you're filled with resentment toward the outside world because of what happened in the past few decades and decide to go all out, the first ones to be crushed will be yourselves.
"The enemy has already taken action. Before long, the village chief, Wild Wolf, and Ms. Mulian, who once treated you, will fall into the enemy's hands. At that time, Leprosy Village will descend into chaos. In fact, the enemy will use you as a knife and stab you in the softest part of Dragon City.
"Once the enemy's scheme succeeds, I don't know whether the powerful fighters who stand above us will be able to feed steak to their pet dogs. I only know that Leprosy Village and all of you will definitely die.
"If this is the result you want, then hurry up and get the best seats. Open your eyes and watch as Leprosy Village is destroyed in the vortex!"
A 'Ji gritted his teeth and shuddered. His legs felt as if they were rooted to the ground.
He hesitated for a long time before he said, "If the superhumans wearing the skull masks aren't your companions, then where are they?"
Meng Chao thought about it for a while and said honestly, "I don't want to lie to you. For the time being, my companions are either dead, injured, running away, or captured by the enemy. I'm the only one who can still move, but I'm injured and can't recover to 100% of my fighting strength. Communication here is blocked, so I can't send any information out."
A 'Ji's eyes went wide and he cried out in surprise, "Then, aren't you fighting alone?"
"I'm not fighting alone. I still have you and all the villagers." Meng Chao smiled.
A 'Ji did not know what expression he should put on.
No one had ever said something like this to him before, so he did not know how to react.
He was stunned for a long time before he stuttered, "W-What can we do?"
"We will do the same thing as the Dragon Citizens outside. We will protect our home, the only home we share."
"Regardless of whether you believe me or not, I swear that once this battle comes to an end, I will do everything in my power to change the lair and Leprosy Village and change the living conditions of the people in the lair and the villagers.
"Trust me, all the villagers in Leprosy Village will definitely be able to eat delicious and hot steaks!"
Aggie's eyelashes and lips trembled together.
"Then …"
He could not believe it, but he could not help but want to believe it. "I-I'll take you to Ms. Mulian?"
"We must first figure out just who the superhumans wearing the skull masks and pretending to be the captors are. Once we meet Ms. Mulian, Wild Wolf, and the others, we'll have something to talk about. Wait for me here."
Meng Chao climbed the wall of the building again and climbed to the top of the building that was dozens of meters tall.
With the cover of the waterproof canvas, he was like a giant chameleon, blending in with the mottled exterior of the building.
He narrowed his eyes and observed the movements of the so-called "captors".
The imposters seemed to have come to stir up the anger of the villagers. Compared to capturing people, they were better at causing destruction in Leprosy Village.
Their magnetic fields surged, and their spirit flames burned madly. They did not control their shockwaves that could topple mountains. In just a short half an hour, they destroyed a lot of buildings in Leprosy Village.
The villagers were angry, but they did not dare say anything.
On one hand, they were wary of these people's fierce and peerless fighting strength.
On the other hand, they heard that they came from the outside and were even stronger than the gangs in the lair, so who would dare to provoke them?
Because of it, Meng Chao was able to easily locate their coordinates.
He also found the "captor" who was the furthest away from the main group.
Meng Chao quietly climbed back to the ground.
This time, A 'Ji did not run. He stayed where he was.
"Two streets away from here is a building with more than twenty floors. It's the one with a lot of neon lights. There's a" captor "in there," Meng Chao said.
"Go to the front of that building and sneak around it. Lure that guy over. We'll see how strong he is."
A 'Ji scratched his head and said, "I know how to sneak around, but why would he be attracted to me?"
"Bring out the crystal I gave you just now," Meng Chao said.
A 'Ji hesitated a little. He put his hand into his pants and searched around for a while before he brought out the crystal.
"…"
Meng Chao frowned a little. He injected some spirit energy into the crystal through the air.
The crystal shuddered a little, and it let out the sound of wind chimes. It started to shine brightly.
"I've already activated the spirit energy reaction of the crystal. Even if you stuff it into your pants, a superhuman will still be able to sense its existence as if it's a shining light bulb," Meng Chao said.
"There's no reason for a teenager like you to have a high-purity crystal that's worth cities. This will definitely stir up the other party's curiosity.
"Then, pretend to be guilty and run. The other party will definitely catch up to you. Do you understand?"
He nodded and said, "I understand. But what if they notify their companions and surround us with a large group? Uncle, you're injured, and your chest is still bleeding. Will you be able to handle so many fully armed superhumans?" A 'Ji's eyes wandered around three times before he nodded.
"I'll take a gamble," Meng Chao said.
"The other party will block all frequencies and block all communications. Not only will we be unable to contact the outside world, their walkie-talkies and other communicators should also be useless.
"Right now, Leprosy Village and perhaps all of Golden Tooth Lair rely on shouting to communicate.
"As long as you run fast enough, the other party won't have time to notify his companions and will have to capture you alone.
"Of course, I believe that the other party won't even think about notifying his companions. These people are really arrogant and don't regard the villagers as anything."
"Then …" A 'Ji asked.
"The other party is a superhuman. What if he catches up to me in a few seconds? What should I do?"
"You still have me," Meng Chao said.
"We're running out of time, and we're racing against time. Do you still want to eat steak?"
A 'Ji gulped.
The fragrant and piping hot steak helped him muster up 120% of his courage.
He shoved the crystal back into his pants, tightened his belt, and ran to the entrance of the alley.
After running a few steps, he ran back and stared at Meng Chao with a strange expression.
"What now?" Meng Chao asked with a frown.
"Uncle, how did you find me just now?"
A 'Ji asked. "I've already run two streets away, and I used a hooded cloak to cover my head and body. There are more than one thousand people dressed like me in the streets nearby. How did you manage to locate me so accurately and see through me with just one glance?"
"Um …" Meng Chao did not know how to explain it.
"It's this crystal, right?"
A 'Ji narrowed his eyes and pouted. "From the beginning, when you tossed the crystal to me underground, you tampered with it. This isn't some' deposit 'at all. It's a' tracker 'you put on me. You don't trust me at all!"
"Don't bother about the details. What's important is to save your home and eat steak!"
Meng Chao said. "Hurry up and go. Remember, try to be as sneaky as possible. Once you lure the person over, I'll follow you closely!"
"I knew it! You people outside are just too cunning!"
A 'Ji grumbled.
Like a rat that had stolen something, he stuck close to the wall and crawled out of the alley to blend into the crowd.
Even though he was dressed in a gray cloak, wore transparent or black goggles, and used a mask and gas filter to cover his mouth and nose, the crystal in his pants was like a shining firefly in the dark.
However, the crystal in his pants was indeed like a firefly that was glittering in the night. It immediately attracted the attention of the "captor" in the building in front of him.
The "captor" immediately jumped out of the building and used the jet system in his motorized armor to levitate in the air while he coldly searched for any spirit energy reactions in the crowd.
A 'Ji shrank back, and like a rat that was caught stealing oil, he turned around and ran back into the alley.
The "captor" snorted coldly and shot down like an eagle.
A 'Ji let out a strange yelp and sped up, as if he had run into a dead end in a panic.
At the end of the alley was a pile of smelly trash.
A 'Ji scrambled to the trash pile as if he had nowhere else to run and wanted to crawl into the trash.
The "captor" chased after him a few steps and was about to approach the trash pile.
But perhaps A 'Ji's acting was too exaggerated, or perhaps the "captor" had sensed the dangerous presence coming from the trash pile.
He suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes to cast a deep glance at the trash pile.
Ka ka ka ka. The weapon system on the back of the motorized armor activated, and two Honeycomb rocket launchers appeared on his shoulders.
When A 'Ji saw the rocket launchers on the person's shoulders, his face turned pale. He shouted at the trash pile in front of him, "Uncle!"
The "captor" smiled cruelly under the skull mask. He was just about to fire.
But it was not from the trash pile in front of him, but from the shadows behind him. A figure suddenly shot out like black lightning.
Whoosh!
The saber glare was like lightning. It went up and slashed at the spot between his legs.
No matter how tight the defense of the motorized armor was, it was impossible for the defense of the waist and crotch to be as sturdy as the armor in front of the chest to ensure the flexibility of the legs.
When the "captor" sensed the bone-chilling saber penetrating his crotch and entering his urinary tract, his face turned pale with fright.
Fortunately, he was a veteran superhuman who had survived hundreds of battles and had a lot of experience.
He made a prompt decision and growled. He retreated, turned around, and kicked to the side. Everything was done in one go, and at the last moment, he managed to avoid the fatal slash that would have cut his stomach open.
However, the second slash came down from above 0.1 seconds later.
