Li Yao vaguely understood why the Great Horn Exo Society had attacked the Oasis Tribe without bothering about anything.
But there were still many details that he had not figured out yet. Therefore, he continued writing on Neltharion. "Somebody is here to rescue you. Do you know how they located you?"
Xie Anan hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Wan Hongying, the biological granddaughter of the leader of the Burning Sun Alliance, has a 'Star Fixing Pill' inside her body!
"This is a very special treasure. It is made from the cores of seven different kinds of beasts. As long as it is swallowed, it will automatically turn into a ball of spiritual liquid that blends with the flesh and blood. No matter what method is used, it will not be detected."
"However, as long as one grasps a special secret technique and activates it within the range of a planet, the spiritual liquid will be condensed into a Star Fixing Pill again. Also, the person who activates the secret technique will know the coordinates of the Star Fixing Pill.
"Such a special treasure is made for the safety of important people in the first place. We didn't know anything about it until Wan Hongying confidently said that somebody was here to rescue us that day. Then, we learned that she was hiding such a secret treasure."
Li Yao thought for a moment and asked through Neltharion, "Do they know the existence of the Star Fixing Pill?"
Xie Anan was somewhat confused. She replied, "I don't know about that. Logically speaking, Wan Hongying's body has been implanted with barriers, and her capability is no different from that of ordinary people. She shouldn't have been able to escape the interrogation …"
Li Yao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The Temple of Immortals knew that Wan Hongying had a Star Fixing Pill, yet they had locked her up with so many other people. It was obvious that they wanted the rescuers to know where they were.
Then, considering what had happened to the six tribes of Iron Plateau, the purpose of the Temple of Immortals was obvious.
While he was pondering, Xie Anan suddenly put on a weird expression and yawned. Then, she leaned against the wall of the toilet and fell asleep.
Snoring noises were echoing outside, too. The other nineteen college students were sound asleep, too. Wisps of strange, faint green gas swirled above their heads, bobbing up and down.
Huala!
The door of the prison was opened. Six muscular men wearing black masks walked in. They first used black cloth bags to cover everyone's heads so that their faces could not be seen clearly. Then, they used large gunny sacks to put everyone inside. Using thick and strong demon tendons to bind them, they were unable to move.
Then, with two in each hand and four in each hand, the six strong men carried the twenty college students and walked into the depths of the underground secret chamber.
Li Yao opened his eyes wide and saw a heavy True Qi tank slowly approaching from the shadows of the valley.
The shape of this war chariot was extremely ferocious. It was like a cheetah with horns all over its body, a perfect combination of speed and brutality.
It had been highly modified and had exhaust pipes all over its body. As it whizzed past, A tornado seemed to have been stirred up. The sides of the car were painted with flames that looked like blood, and the emblem of the Burning Sun Tribe was on the front of the car.
The chariot stopped at the foot of the mountain. A Qi Trainer of the Burning Sun Tribe crawled under the chariot with a box. Three minutes later, he crawled out again.
"Is he checking under the car, or did he install something under the car?"
Li Yao's heart was pounding crazily, as he smelled the intense scent of danger.
Then, a rock was suddenly pushed open. Six muscular men crawled out and threw the twenty hostages into an enclosed container behind the chariot.
"Wu! Wu! "
It was an iron beast. After a deafening shriek, the chariot was activated again and rushed to the other side of the valley.
The Burning Sun Tribe was the fastest of the six tribes of Iron Plateau in the first place. The heavy war chariot modified by the Burning Sun Tribe was best at racing. Although it was large in size, its speed was as good as that of a single tank!
After only ten minutes, the chariot drove out of the valley. After taking a detour, it rushed to the south as fast as lightning!
Li Yao increased the altitude of Neltharion to the maximum. Looking from afar, the chariot was heading straight to the south and had covered dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
On the other side of the valley, the battle was still going on. However, the Great Horn Exo Society seemed to have realized that the hostages had been moved away. They were trying to escape from the battlefield, but they were surrounded by the fearless barbarian warriors and could not break free for now.
On the southern horizon, a faint cloud of dust could be faintly seen.
It was a huge fleet of carriages.
It was a fully-armed war chariot made of the best qi-trainers of the six tribes of Iron Plateau.
Li Yao took a deep breath and changed the direction of the chariot to the south without any hesitation!
He finally knew what the Temple of Immortals was up to!
If the chariot carrying the twenty important hostages was heading south, it would run into the elite troops of the six tribes in the south in a day or two.
Some of the hostages had magical equipment that could allow the rescuers to lock onto their location. The Great Horn Exo Society must've discovered that the hostages were heading south.
With their capability, it was not difficult for them to get rid of the Oasis Tribe. Then, they would follow the Star Fixing Pills and head south.
One day later, the Great Horn Exo Society, which was heading south to rescue the hostages, would have a head-on collision with the elite troops of the six tribes, who were heading north to resist the space invaders …
No. The Great Horn Exo Society must be more than the hostages.
The twenty hostages are either the descendants of noble families or the leadership of the major sects. Besides, they are all college students of Flying Star University and Heavenly Saints Institute. They are out-and-out Heavenly Talents!
When the news that they were kidnapped spread out, the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector would've summoned a large batch of elite troops to rescue them. However, the Great Horn Exo Society arrived in the Iron Plateau Space Zone in advance for some reason. That's why they were the first rescue team.
Chances are that a large batch of Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector and many experts have gathered in space right now!
Yes. That must be the case. Otherwise, the Temple of Immortals wouldn't have initiated the whole plan at such a moment!
When the experts arrive on Iron Plateau and discover the temple of the Oasis Tribe, they will certainly think that it is a secret base of the Temple of Immortals!
If they discover that the Great Horn Exo Society has a conflict with the qi-trainers of Iron Plateau and is even annihilated by the natives …
"That's right, that guy installed something under the war chariot. If it's a bomb …"
If the tank of Burning Fire fell into the hands of the six tribes of Iron Plateau and suddenly exploded, killing all the hostages …
Then, the six tribes of Iron Plateau would not be able to explain themselves even if they had mouths all over their bodies!
Besides, would the six tribes of Iron Plateau, who were proud and infuriated, be willing to explain themselves to the space residents?
It was very likely that they would talk with their weapons and cannons!
After considering everything carefully, Li Yao's heart grew colder and colder.
Black Wing had increased its speed to the maximum. However, ever since the tank of Burning Fire left the valley, intense air currents had been spurting out from the bottom of the tank, making it float in the air at a low altitude. Strong air currents were spurting out from the back of the tank, too. Although it had not reached the speed of sound yet, it was still quite fast!
Black Wing was just a flying sword after all. Although it could reach a supersonic speed in a short sprint, it had consumed too much spiritual energy during the long journey to the north. It was impossible for it to maintain the supersonic speed all the time when it was driven at full speed.
After chasing and stopping for more than half a day, Li Yao finally caught up with the tank of Burning Fire when Black Wing was about to spurt out its last breath of black brilliance.
However, at this moment, the smoke on the horizon was already visible. They were rushing in the sky like wolves whose fighting will had soared to the maximum.
The elite tanks of the six tribes of Iron Plateau were coming right at them!
Through Neltharion, which was floating high in the sky, Li Yao observed the north. The Great Horn Exo Society had gotten rid of the Oasis Tribe and was marching south with almost a hundred fully-armed Exos.
"Damn it!"
Li Yao gritted his teeth. He accelerated Black Wing for the last time. Spiritual gas spurted out of the exhaust holes of the Sky Scorpion Armor, too. He turned into a streak of brightness and landed on the tank of the Burning Fire Battalion!
The tank of the Burning Fire Battalion suddenly shivered and plummeted. The top of the tank was suddenly lifted, and six qi-trainers jumped out.
"Who are you?"
The qi-trainers of the Burning Sun Tribe were furious, their eyes filled with killing intent.
But what greeted them were two black barrels.
"Good guys!"
Li Yao pulled the trigger hard. Pushed by the high-pressure spiritual gas, the bullets splashed out like a storm.
These bullets were all condensed from high-purity crystal stones, and the power of each bullet was comparable to a Wolf Fang.
For a moment, sparks were flying everywhere. Several qi-trainers of the Burning Sun Tribe were knocked off the tank before they had the chance to scream!
There was barely any place to hide on the narrow top of the tank. When the remaining two qi-trainers hurried to dodge the bullets, Li Yao saw the opportunity and kicked them off the tank of the Burning Fire Battalion one after another.
The tank was extremely fast. Once they fell off, they would be seriously injured. Even if they were not killed, they would be in a coma for a long time. There was no way that they could catch up with Li Yao.
Li Yao strode forward. Suddenly, he staggered and retreated quickly. His breastplate uttered a 'ding'!
A weird shadow that was tall and slender slowly surfaced from the top of the tank, as if a weirdo had just crawled out of a swamp. It was exactly the man in the wall that Li Yao had seen in the temple of the oasis.
The man was holding a sword that was as narrow as a needle in one hand and a dagger that was emitting blue brightness in the other. He looked at Li Yao's breastplate in surprise, his face gloomy. A moment later, he said gloomily, "You …"
"You idiot!"
Li Yao waved his hands, and the two common guns disappeared without a trace, only to be replaced by the super lethal weapon 'Thunderous Roar', whose single barrel was thicker than his arm and which had six barrels in total!
