Two hours later, Li Yao appeared in the valley that Yan Chifeng had pointed out.
The place was full of stone pillars, ravines, and zigzagging valleys. It was indeed an easy place to hide.
Li Yao examined the tank and discovered that more than half of the spiritual gas he had compressed had been consumed during the rush. The remaining spiritual gas could only last for one night at best.
If he were to use the True Essence in his body to drive such a steel behemoth that weighed dozens of tons, it would only take a few hours for his True Qi to be exhausted.
In any case, he had to stop now.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The twenty hostages were all Cultivators after all. After more than half a day of rushing, many of them had woken up. However, because of the barriers imposed on them and the veins of the demon beasts that bound them, they could not break free at all and could only struggle inside the tank.
Li Yao looked around and drove the tank to a part of the valley that was relatively flat. Then, he took out a lot of materials from the corpses of the apocalyptic beasts from his Cosmos Ring. Most of them were solid shells with sharp edges.
Piling all the materials aside, he finally lifted the twenty writhing hostages out of the tank and cut off their veins, setting them free one by one.
The twenty hostages had just woken up from their coma. Their heads were dizzy because of the bumps of the tank. They were all at a loss when they breathed in the fresh air.
Several girls even exclaimed in shock when they saw Li Yao's appearance.
At this moment, Li Yao was wearing the fully-enclosed Sky Scorpion Armor, which was made of the shells of the apocalyptic beasts. At first glance, he did look ferocious and did not seem to be a nice guy.
"Shua!"
The visor of the Sky Scorpion Armor was opened, revealing a pair of coldly shining eyes. Li Yao summoned all his strength and shouted, "Don't be scared, everybody. You are now out of danger and on Iron Plateau. I am an Iron Plateau native!"
Everybody was able to keep calm before he said it, but when they learned that they were on Iron Plateau, the legendary 'forbidden land for Cultivators', they were shocked. All the boys and girls changed their expressions.
They were all Cultivators. They had heard about the grudges between the qi-trainers of Iron Plateau and the Cultivators of space.
Although there was no telling what would happen if he fell into the hands of the ferocious Iron Plateau native, the armor that the man was wearing suggested a lot. They didn't seem like good people either!
Li Yao ignored their fear and continued. "I know that you have a lot of misunderstandings about Iron Plateau. But let me tell you, all the rumors about Iron Plateau natives that you've heard are false! In fact, the Iron Plateau natives are hardworking and brave. Simple and kind, good at singing and dancing, gentle and refined, and a lover of peace! "
"However, we don't have time to talk nonsense now. Hurry up and choose a suitable tool and dig a hole over there!"
Li Yao's countenance suddenly changed; with his left hand he pulled out the Fang Saber, with his right hand he picked up the Lei Hou Bu Qiang again. Scowling and glaring, he said, "Go dig a hole." This will be the outcome of anyone who dares to delay! "
With a swing of the saber, the saber Qi swept over a dozen meters away and cut a huge boulder in half!
The boys and girls were so scared that their faces were pale. Under the pressure of the saber and the spear, they could only choose a few sharp-edged tools from the shells of the apocalyptic beasts and walk to the flat ground that Li Yao had pointed out.
Some of them thought that Li Yao was asking them to dig their own graves. They were so anxious that their faces were flushed. Some of them were secretly holding the shells in their hands, ready to risk their lives when the time came.
But as it turned out, Li Yao only asked them to dig holes that were no larger than their heads. All the holes were arranged in a certain pattern. Looking down from the sky, they seemed to constitute a weird rune array.
The boys and girls whispered to each other suspiciously. They had no idea what the Iron Plateau weirdo was up to.
Li Yao, however, had no time to bother with them. Through Neltharion, he observed all the holes from the high ground. Now, he was calculating the arrangement of the holes crazily. Now, he was taking out a lot of crystal bombs from his Cosmos Ring and modifying them. Although he was not involved in digging the holes in person, he was still sweating hard.
Right then, Li Yao suddenly came to a halt and looked at the sky in the northeast.
Dozens of black spots could be vaguely seen in the sky.
The Great Horn Exo Society was here!
Li Yao was pondering how he should reach out to the Great Horn Exo Society when his pupils suddenly constricted. He sensed that his back was stung by needles. He slid to the left at a high speed with all his strength. The bullets of spiritual energy almost brushed against the edge of his armor and pierced into the rocks brutally!
Deep within the rock, there was a muffled explosion, and stone powder spewed out.
Excellent shooting skills! The seven bullets were on different trajectories during the flight, but they were all on the same line at the last moment and hit the same spot almost at the same time. There was only one hole in the seven bullets! Also, the power of the bullets was concentrated and did not explode until they reached the depths of the rocks!
If they pierced through a human body, there would only be a tiny hole on the surface, but the internal organs would have been minced into pieces by the seven bullets!
The thought flashed in his brain. Li Yao focused all his computational ability on a certain object that was rushing at him at a high speed from his left rear.
According to the surveillance of Neltharion, it was an Exo wearing a Tiger-Shaped Crystal Suit!
Since when were there two such experts in the Great Horn Exo Society?
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and searched for a moment in his memory bank, only to find that there was no other Exo in the Great Horn Exo Society that was similar to the two of them in terms of body shape, Crystal Suit, and combat ability!
The expert of guns was hiding among the rocks and hindering Li Yao with his marvelous shooting skills. The expert in the Tiger-Shaped Crystal Suit, on the other hand, seemed to be good at melee combat. He took the opportunity to approach Li Yao at a high speed and crashed into him brutally!
Li Yao sneered. Spiritual gas surged out of his body. Clusters of white spiritual gas were released from the gaps of the Sky Scorpion Armor to cover his traces. When the expert of melee combat entered the range of his spiritual gas, he punched out casually!
The terrifying spiritual gas of the 80th level of the Refinement Stage was fully unleashed!
"BOOM!"
He punched the expert of melee combat. He did not move at all, but his opponent was pushed back almost ten steps and grunted in pain.
Li Yao punched out and continued moving forward. His saber drew a weird curve in the air and slashed at the neck of the expert of melee combat!
The expert of melee combat was soaked in cold sweat. He did not expect the weirdo to be so strong that he was completely different from the qi-trainers of Iron Plateau that he had met before. He raised his sword to block the attack, only to be blown away by Li Yao's saber, who then slashed at his neck!
Just as the battle saber was about to slash past his neck, the sharpshooter once again shot out over 100 bullets, drawing out many beautiful arcs in midair.
Some of the bullets hit Li Yao's saber directly, and some aimed at Li Yao's critical parts.
However, all the bullets missed their target. Li Yao had vanished!
The attack had been a feint in the first place. Although it was fast, it was not powerful enough. It was only meant to lock onto the position of the sharpshooter precisely!
By analyzing the trajectories of the bullets … Also, with the surveillance of Neltharion in midair, Li Yao soon discovered the sharpshooter. He was crouching between two rocks, wearing a camouflage cloth that could change its color and pattern freely.
"BOOM!"
Li Yao picked up Thunderous Roar and shot at the wall above the sharpshooter's head. A single Demon Core Bomb had blown up half of the mountain wall. Broken rocks were falling down like flowers from the heavens!
The sharpshooter was caught unprepared. He hurried to dash out of the crevice in case he was buried alive by the collapsing rocks, only to run right into Li Yao.
As a sharpshooter, his melee combat ability was mediocre in the first place. After only one round, he was suppressed by Li Yao. He couldn't move at all.
Li Yao held the sharpshooter in his hand as if he were holding a chicken. He pressed his saber against the gap between the sharpshooter's helmet and his breastplate. After several leaps, he landed on a protruding rock. On one of his knees, he crouched behind the sharpshooter like a giant eagle overlooking the valley.
"Lu Dian!"
The expert of melee combat saw such a scene when he was back to himself. He couldn't help but shout.
"Zuo Xiaohu, let's go. This guy is too strong. The two of us together are no match for him! "
Although a saber was pressed against Lu Dian's neck, he was not scared at all. He shouted.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! At this moment, dozens of members of the Great Horn Exo Society landed, led by Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin.
Seeing that Lei Dalu had taken off his helmet and revealed his real face, Li Yao was slightly relieved. But he didn't let go of the saber that was pressed against the guy's neck.
The guy whose neck was pressed against by Li Yao's saber. It was' White-haired Gun King 'Lu Dian, who had just returned to the Great Horn Exo Society.
It was Zuo Xiaohu, on the other hand, who was blown away by Li Yao's punch just now.
In the new Great Horn Exo Society, other than the few experts of the older generation such as Lei Dalu, Zuo Xiaohu and Lu Dian were the strongest of the younger generation!
The two of them had ambushed Li Yao together, and yet they had failed so miserably. The strength of the enemy was enough to make their blood freeze.
Lei Dalu's face was gloomy.
Although the enemy was alone, who knew whether or not there were more ambushes in the zigzagging valley?
The enemy had captured an Exo of the Great Horn Exo Society but didn't kill him. There was no telling where he came from.
"The twenty hostages are unharmed. They are right behind you!"
Li Yao shouted. "But qi-trainers of Iron Plateau are surrounding you from all directions!
"They are the most elite warriors of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. Most of them are equal to Building Foundation Stage Cultivators!
"There are only dozens of you. I'm afraid that most of you are in the Refinement Stage at best, aren't you? The Crystal Suit is seriously worn out after the fierce battle just now!
"Even if I give the hostages to you, you won't be able to get away!"
Finishing his speech, Li Yao threw Lu Dian off the cliff together with the Crystal Suit and hit Zuo Xiaohu precisely. The two young experts rolled on the ground.
"Captain Lei, let's talk!"
Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin both changed their expressions. They didn't expect that the weirdo would know Lei Dalu's name, and the situation that he analyzed was indeed the predicament that the Great Horn Exo Society was in!
Bai Kaixin said in a low voice, "He's right. Smoke is rising everywhere. According to our observation just now, the new batch of Iron Plateau natives seems to be equipped with very advanced war machines. They are extremely fast and strong. They are completely different from the barbarians that we fought earlier."
"I feel that something is wrong. My intuition tells me that we have fallen into a trap."
Pondering for a moment, Lei Dalu jumped up and stood on a rock halfway up the mountain with Li Yao.
"Who are you?"
Lei Dalu asked. "Do you know me?"
