He decided to take the risk and get in touch with the qi-trainers. 【
To repair the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit required not only a high-level furnace, but also a fully-equipped maintenance workshop, as well as hundreds of indispensable strengthening alloys and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
In such a desolate place, even if Ou Yezi had been reborn, he would not have been able to repair the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit with only stones and shrubs.
Besides, Li Yao needed a starship to help him leave the Iron Plateau Space Zone. It was even less likely that he would be able to find one out of nowhere.
Since the qi-trainers had such a large team when they were out hunting, and they often used their magical equipment in battles, there must be facilities in their bases for the production and maintenance of magical equipment.
As long as he went to the qi-trainers' town, there would be a chance that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit could be repaired. He might even find a starship.
Of course, Li Yao was not going to show up in front of them recklessly, either.
According to the files of the Flying Star Sector, the barbarians living on the planets were all savages who hated the residents of space.
Some starships had been forced to land on the planets due to cosmic storms, only to be never heard from again. There was no telling whether they had been swallowed by demon beasts or captured by the 'savages'.
Huangpu Xiaoya had also mentioned that the qi-trainers were not fond of foreign Cultivators.
Therefore, Li Yao had lurked in this place for almost a month in order to observe the strength of the hunting squad of the qi-trainers.
'Although my capability is mostly blocked by the Black Spider Death Curse, I can still blow out the peak of the Refinement Stage easily. Together with my 'battle awareness', I'm in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage!
'So, I'm definitely invincible among the Refinement Stage Cultivators!
'In terms of probability, not all of the twenty or so qi-trainers are at the peak of the Refinement Stage. Aren't they all at the peak of the Refinement Stage? I'm afraid that most of them are in the middle level of the Refinement Stage, or the high level at best. Only the leader is likely to be at the peak of the Refinement Stage!
'In the worst-case scenario, let's say that I'm the unluckiest person in the world. If I run into them, the odds are one in a billion. They are all at the peak of the Refinement Stage. Even if I can't beat them, can't I run away from them?
The odds were so low that they were almost negligible.
Li Yao calculated again. With his current situation, he had to come into contact with Qi Practitioners no matter what.
The Qi Practitioners before him were not that strong, and the situation was still within his control. Whether it was a negotiation or a fight, whether it was a battle or a flight, he had the initiative.
If he didn't come into contact with them now, it would be rather awkward if he encountered a Qi Practitioner whose strength was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Thinking of this, Li Yao strapped the Black Wing Sword on his back and dashed out like a bolt of lightning.
He did not rush towards the Qi Practitioners but circled around the meteorite mountain instead. They left a lot of messy traces around the nest.
Then, he planted the last few crystal bombs in a valley that he had found a long time ago. It was carefully arranged.
Only after he was fully prepared did he charge towards the Qi Practitioner unhurriedly.
It seemed that these Qi warriors were also very interested in the Iron Gravel Worms in the Wasteland, as they spent half a day dealing with them. In the end, six Iron Gravel Worms were slain.
Li Yao intended to borrow the Qi Practitioner's maintenance equipment, and he did not want to make enemies with the locals of Iron Plateau. Therefore, he did not hide himself but approached them openly.
He approached them while he was at it. While he was observing, Li Yao was slightly surprised.
The Qi Practitioners were all using 'True Qi Magical Equipment'!
It was a magical equipment that was first developed at the end of the Great Dark Age when human beings had just recovered the lost civilization of Cultivators.
The principle was that the Cultivators would absorb the natural spiritual energy into their bodies and refine it into 'True Qi'. Then, they would shoot out the True Qi to drive a series of complicated mechanical devices and transform the True Qi into destructive power!
As the magical equipment in the exploration phase of the modern Cultivation civilization, the True Qi Magical Equipment had a complicated and clumsy structure. They were all big, thick, and black iron monsters.
Also, when the True Qi was transformed into power and destructive power, a lot of waste gas and black smoke would be released because the conversion rate was too low. Deafening noises would also be heard!
Therefore, the True Qi Magical Equipment was soon replaced by the new-generation magical equipment that was smaller in size, more delicate in structure, and had a higher utilization rate of spiritual energy.
The qi-trainers in front of his eyes were on a single chariot. There was a giant wheel embedded with thorns at the front and back of the chariot. Every wheel was more than one meter in diameter. The power rune arrays carved on the wheels were in a mess. They looked like the dents that primitive people had carved on the rocks randomly!
Rows of bronze tubes extended from the core of the single tank to the front and back and covered the entire body of the tank. All the tubes were connected by rivets. The joints were not tight enough. Intense black smoke was spurting out of the gaps, as if almost twenty chimneys had been inserted into the tank. Roaring noises as loud as a waterfall were echoing, too, which made Li Yao's ears numb.
Such an iron beast was more than seven meters long and three meters tall, but it could only accommodate one to three knights. It was indeed much less efficient than the shuttles that were commonly seen in the world of Cultivators. However, its savagery and unstoppable aura had been enhanced to the maximum!
All of the war chariots in this convoy were similar in style to this single war chariot.
In short, it was the design of multiple turrets that were filled with True Qi turrets that were driven by smoky spiritual gas and connected to each other by rivets that looked like a spiked club. Also, it was the rigid suspension that did not use any buffer components and allowed the passengers to feel every bump and blast while unleashing every bit of strength of the passengers without leaving anything behind!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! Every tank of the qi-trainers was roaring deafeningly like a ravenous primeval beast!
The qi-trainers soon noticed Li Yao. Two large and dense clusters of black smoke suddenly spurted out of the tubes of one of the single tanks and charged at Li Yao at a high speed!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and stared at the single tank, ready for battle.
The single tank was covered in coarse red paint, which seemed to have been painted with the blood of demon beasts. The pattern of burning flames was painted on the tank. There was only one knight on the tank.
This knight was in his twenties, but he was tall and muscular. He was at least two meters tall, and his shoulders were twice as wide as Li Yao's shoulders. On his head was a ferocious helmet refined from the skull of a demon beast. On his body, he was wearing tight leather armor and black leather pants refined from the skin of a black demon beast. On his shoulders, he was also wearing shoulder pads, and on his hands, there were also wrist guards.
Both the shoulder pads and the wrist guards were embedded with bone spurs one foot long. They were glittering in the black fog and looked extremely intimidating!
Two enormous rivets were embedded to the chin of the knight, on which two round runes had been carved. They seemed to be some sort of magical equipment.
Li Yao was more or less relieved.
Despite the knight's hideous appearance, he did not look much different from the space residents, except that he was slightly bigger.
Among the space residents, due to the radiation in the universe, it was not uncommon for giant men to be more than 2.2 meters tall to appear.
Even Li Yao himself, because he had received the heritage of Iron God Yan Ba, a body fundamentalist, and was adept at certain secret arts that could trigger the primeval strength in his cells, he was able to expand his muscles and turn himself into a muscular man.
What Li Yao feared most was that the qi-trainers were all green-faced, long-fanged, red-haired, blue-browed aliens. It would be hard for him to communicate with them.
Hardly had Li Yao taken a breath in relief when he saw the two flags on the back of the qi-trainer's horse, which shocked him again.
The style of the qi-trainers seemed to be noisiness and ostentatiousness. Therefore, there were several flags on the back of every tank that were flapping in the wind.
In the previous few times, Neltharion had observed them from a distance and could not see clearly. It was not until this moment that Li Yao discovered that the pattern on the two flags was a face that was roaring furiously like a sun while flames of fury were spurting out of it!
"This is — the emblem of the Burning Sun Alliance!"
Li Yao was shocked!
The Burning Sun Alliance was one of the six major sects of Heavenly Saints City and one of the strongest Cultivation sects in the Flying Star Sector!
Why would their battle emblems appear on the qi-trainers' battle flags?
While he was pondering, the qi-trainer's horse had already charged at Li Yao in the most unstoppable of wind and thunder, as if it were going to run over him directly!
Li Yao sniffed and slightly lowered his body. He was ready to cut the enemy's tank in half, too!
The horseman let out a furious roar. The black smoke and murderous aura from the single chariot mixed together and soared into the sky like a fierce whirlwind!
Li Yao, on the other hand, was as firm as a rock in the tornado, but the coldness in his eyes was getting more and more intense.
What a joke. He had slain a real tornado before!
Finally, the iron knight was awed by Li Yao's unstoppable aura and came to a halt more than ten meters away.
The tank uttered earsplitting noises, as if it was dissatisfied that its owner did not run over the enemy directly.
"Who are you?"
The iron knight was waving a large saber more than three meters long. The saber was also connected by three parts, with rivets at the joints. The edge of the saber did not seem very sharp, either.
Li Yao highly suspected that they were using the saber as a club.
Although the iron knight's voice was extremely coarse, it was no different from the space residents'. It was the standard human language passed down from the ancient Cultivators and standardized by the Star Ocean Imperium.
At this moment, the other qi-trainers rushed close, too.
Li Yao was not wearing the Crystal Suit, but he was wearing a mustard seed combat suit, which was delicate, clean, and well-defined, entirely different from the black leather clothes of the qi-trainers.
