Wait, that's not right. Could it be that this person saved me? Ban Meng finally realized why he stopped in mid-air. He carefully looked behind him, and what he saw made him jump in fright.
A black nail-like object, as thick as a bucket, was firmly nailed into the tree trunk, and his clothes were stuck between the nail and the tree trunk.
Ban Meng swallowed hard. He felt a chill at the back of his neck. If the nail was just a little bit off, his head would have been smashed to pieces.
Could it be that this person really saved me? Ban Meng thought to himself. He might look like a big man, but he was actually quite meticulous.
He examined the wooden bird parts that were scattered on the ground. He was surprised. This was a type of aircraft that he had never seen before. The grey wooden pieces felt light in his hands, but they were very hard. This could be seen from the debris on the ground. Although the connecting parts of these broken pieces were all broken, each piece was still perfectly intact, without any damage.
This was unbelievable to Ye Chong. Ye Chong had used the first spinning shuttle in attack mode. It was very powerful, capable of piercing through normal mechs. Even advanced mechs would be wounded if they were hit.
However, this wooden bird, while its structure was broken, each piece was still intact. This was proof of the strength of the wooden planks.
Ye Chong tried to wrench the wooden plank with both hands.
Ban Meng saw something that he had never seen before. The man down below had easily bent the five-centimeter thick wooden plank into a semicircle.
How... How was this possible?
Ban Meng's eyes widened, speechless for a long time. He had never heard of anyone who could bend a five-centimeter thick wooden plank into a semicircle. He could almost hear the wooden plank squeaking.
This was terrifying! Was this guy a caveman?
Crack! With a crisp sound, the branch in the man's hand broke into two pieces.
Ban Meng stared at the man like he was looking at a monster. He did not know how to describe it!
Ye Chong frowned. This wood was hard! It was even harder than normal alloys. No wonder he could use it to make aircraft. In terms of physical properties, it was strong enough. Ye Chong knew his own strength very well. A normal alloy board would have been smashed into pieces by the force he exerted just now.
As for the gray wooden board in his hand, the fracture was in an almost uniform serrated shape.
"This is a very suitable material for mech construction," Ye Chong thought to himself. It was strong enough, and most importantly, its texture was much lighter than skeletons. If this material was used to build a mech, the mech would be able to move at a terrifying speed.
He just didn't know how it performed in other aspects. This required the use of special instruments to carry out professional tests. Physical properties were only the most basic requirements for mech materials.
Suddenly, Ye Chong found a spherical object in the pile of wood chips.
Eh! What is this?
It looked somewhat similar to the bio-optical computer in Celest's cockpit. However, the bio-optical computer was much more transparent than Celest. Ye Chong held it in his hand, and immediately noticed the difference between it and the bio-photon processor. Bio-optical computers were very soft, like liquid, but this translucent sphere was very hard, like some kind of ore.
"What's this?" Ye Chong lifted the translucent orb in his hand and asked Ban Meng, who was hovering in the air.
Ban Meng subconsciously blurted out, "Trapezoid!"
After saying that, Ban Meng came back to his senses and quickly shouted, "Hero, let me down!" At this time, his face was filled with a flattering smile. The person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. He was most likely an advanced shooter. He had heard that most people with great abilities had strange temperaments. Ban Meng didn't want to be unlucky.
Hero? Ye Chong suddenly thought of Kui, who had also mentioned the word "hero" to him. However, that person who always had a carefree smile had already turned into a lump of flesh with countless regrets and unwillingness.
Ye Chong then thought of Mu and Shang, who had somehow been separated from him, and his curiosity vanished without a trace.
Ban Meng suddenly felt something loosen at the back of his neck. He turned around and was scared out of his wits! The black nail was like a living thing, struggling to get out of the tree trunk.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ban Meng felt the back of his neck loosen, and his whole body fell down.
Ye Chong glanced at Ban Meng, who was still screaming in pain, and reached out to catch him.
Ban Meng continued to sing with his eyes closed. His high-pitched tenor voice pierced Ye Chong's eardrums. Ye Chong could not stand it despite his strong willpower. With a slight force, Ban Meng fell to the ground not far away like a sandbag.
Ye Chong shifted his attention back to the opaque sphere in his other hand. What was this thing called the trackball for? Ye Chong was confused.
Ban Meng finally found the feeling of having his feet on solid ground, even though he was only in a mud pit. He stopped his signature Sonic Kill and sneaked a glance at the man. This was definitely an expert. If he wasn't an expert, how could he have thrown him out so easily?
"What's the trackball for?" Ye Chong asked plainly without turning back, but his tone was unquestionable.
"To control the Wood Kite," Ban Meng answered as he carefully stood up. "Testing me? You're testing me with questions that everyone knows? Do you think I'm stupid? " Ban Meng cursed inwardly.
"So that wooden bird is called a Wood Kite," Ye Chong realized. Then he became even more confused. How could this sphere control an aircraft? Could it be a new photon processor?
Ye Chong could not figure it out. It seemed that he would have to ask this man.
"What's your name?"
"Ban Meng." Ban Meng's eyes flinched. To be honest, he never thought that he was timid, but every time his eyes swept over this strange man's eyes, his heart would tremble. It felt as if a block of ice had suddenly fallen into his neck.
"Where is this?" Ye Chong looked around. It was too unfamiliar. He could not find any information about this place. He was sure that this was not any place he had been to before.
"Dual Forest, of course." Ban Meng grumbled. He could not understand why the man kept asking him questions that everyone knew.
"Dual Forest?" Ye Chong searched his mind, but could not recall anything. The black mist he saw through Celest had divided the forest into two. The name Dual Forest must have something to do with it.
"Where's the nearest city?" Ye Chong asked. If he could find the nearest city, he would have a better idea of where he was. Almost all the questions could be easily answered.
"Yetta City," Ban Meng answered carefully.
Ye Chong frowned. This was another city he had never heard of. He had a bad feeling about this.
Seeing Ye Chong's frown, Ban Meng's heart skipped a beat.
"Lead the way." Ye Chong picked Ban Meng up without further ado. Ban Meng was confused. He did not know what to do next.
"Point me in the right direction," Ye Chong said expressionlessly.
Ban Meng's heart skipped a beat again. He quickly said, "West, straight west. You'll reach it after you cross a river."
Celest, which had been hiding nearby, returned to the dimension keystone. Ye Chong picked Ban Meng up with one hand and kicked hard.
"Wah!" The man's high-pitched voice rang through the forest again, startling the birds.
The trees flew past Ban Meng's vision. The wind was so strong that he could barely keep his eyes open. He was scared out of his wits!
Too – too fast!
He shuddered inside. How could a human move at this speed? This was even faster than his Wood Kite. Most importantly, the man was so agile that he did not seem human at all. He kept jumping from one branch to another.
Ban Meng could not describe what he was feeling. His mind was blank. With Ye Chong holding him by the waist, Ban Meng was facing the ground. The ground grew larger and larger in his eyes, and he felt like throwing up.
In just a short while, he felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to vomit. He closed his eyes.
Gradually, he calmed down. He realized that this cold looking man was not actually a fierce man. At least, he had not lost a single hair on his body.
"Is this it?"
Ban Meng opened his eyes and saw a large river. The river was more than a hundred meters wide, and the rapid current churned up waves from time to time. Trees grew on both sides of the river, and the river was covered with pebbles.
Ban Meng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. How was this possible? How could this man reach Lan Shui River so quickly?
Even with his Wood Kite, it would take him about two hours to get here. How could this man reach in half an hour? Did he have some sort of flying device on his legs?
Ban Meng could not help but look at Ye Chong's legs, but only saw a pair of daggers.
He looked up at Ye Chong, and saw that the man's expressionless face did not change at all. It was as if the intense activity had not affected him at all. Even his breathing was steady and even.
"Is this it?" Ye Chong looked at Ban Meng calmly, and asked again.
Ban Meng felt a chill in his heart as he met Ye Chong's gaze.
He was about to speak when suddenly, Ye Chong's expression changed. He pulled his wrist and flung Ban Meng away.
Ye Chong quickly turned around and looked behind him.
A strange creature that Ye Chong had never seen before appeared in front of him. It was about the size of a calf, and its eyes were slightly red, glinting fiercely. It had three legs, and one of them was stepping on a rock. There was a black curved horn on its head, with circles of yellow patterns on it. On its back, there was a tail full of spikes.
"Three-legged Centipede!" Ban Meng gasped, his voice trembling.
This was the end! He did not expect to encounter a Three-legged Centipede here. He was so unlucky! Ban Meng was filled with despair. Only a fully armed shooter could defeat this ferocious creature. It came and went like the wind, and moved like lightning. Humans were no match for it with bare hands.
The Three-legged Centipede's soft leg on the rock suddenly exerted force, and shot towards the man like an arrow.
Ban Meng wanted to close his eyes, but it was too late.
The series of unforeseen events that happened after that happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint was too fast, completely beyond his ability to react.
The man's figure suddenly blurred.
Hiss! It was a soft but clear sound, like a piece of white paper being cut.
The man appeared behind the Three-legged Centipede, as if he had appeared out of thin air. Ban Meng's eyes were wide open the entire time. He didn't even see how he had changed positions.
The Three-legged Centipede suddenly lost its balance in mid-air, and fell on the riverbank.
The Three-legged Centipede fell on the riverbank, and stopped moving. However, from where Ban Meng was, he could see a thin line of blood on the Three-legged Centipede's neck.
A few seconds later, like a high-pressure water pipe rupturing, blood sprayed out from the line of blood, staining the cobblestones around the creature's neck red.
Ban Meng almost subconsciously touched his neck. It was cold.
This incident was nothing to him. To him, the Three-legged Centipede was a typical creature that looked strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. Be it speed, agility, or attack, they were lacking compared to the red-tailed beasts.
He walked to Ban Meng and asked, "Which way should we go next?"
Too cool! Cool! Cool! Ban Meng could not describe his admiration for this strange man. He believed that even the so-called best shooters would not be able to kill a Three-legged Centipede so easily with their bare hands.
Idol, he must be an idol! Ban Meng's eyes were filled with stars.
Boom! He felt a strong force, and he felt like he was flying. Splash!
He made a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the river. For a moment, all his fantasies were gone.
"Waaaaaah … Help! There're piranhas in here … "
He had finally arrived.
Ye Chong looked up and saw a strange city in front of him.
There were all kinds of strange aircrafts flying around in the sky. These aircrafts were so strange that even Ye Chong, who had seen all kinds of mechs in his life, had never seen them before. One of them was the same model as Ban Meng's.
Passersby looked at Ye Chong curiously as he exited the city.
Ye Chong was dressed in a strange outfit, and he was carrying Ban Meng. He was soaking wet, covered in mud and grass. It was hard not to notice. He looked around, and soon found a problem.
"Where's your house?" He tossed Ban Meng to the ground.
"My house?" Ban Meng jumped up like he had been electrocuted. "What are you doing? Big brother, I have no grudge against you. I'll tell you anything you ask, and I've been cooperative along the way. I didn't cause you any trouble. Look, shouldn't you let me go … "
Ban Meng looked like he was about to cry. Ye Chong's actions told him that it was best to be cooperative. Hence, Ban Meng behaved himself, and did not dare to play any tricks. He was afraid that Ye Chong would hurt his family, and could only beg for his help.
"I'll be staying here for a while," Ye Chong's reply was simple and direct as usual.
"Staying here?" Ban Meng was surprised. He looked at Ye Chong from head to toe, and saw that the man was looking back at him as usual, not at all embarrassed. When he thought about the other party's methods, he forcefully swallowed the rejection that was at the tip of his tongue.
"How long?" Ban Meng asked carefully. He did not want to invite a plague to his house. Besides, it was easier to invite a plague than to send it away.
Ye Chong thought for a moment and said, "Three months."
"Three months!" Ban Meng's face immediately fell. "That can't be, Big Brother. My family is poor. Big Brother, if you want to stay, you should go to those rich families. They are rich, and with Big Brother's status, I don't think they would dare to say no …" Ban Meng was a little proud of himself. He was very eloquent today, and he didn't know if it was because of the shock he received.
Ye Chong did not speak, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Ban Meng's neck.
A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Ban Meng's heart. The gray eyes of the three-legged centipede on the riverbank and the thin blood line on its neck appeared in front of his eyes. He couldn't help but shiver.
Heavens! How could he forget that this was a killer!
Ban Meng panicked. It was the first time he had met someone so strong, and he did not know what to do. However, he did not want to bring Ye Chong home. The man reeked of danger!
Ban Meng tried to gather his courage, but when he saw the man's eyes turning cold, he blurted out, "No problem! No problem! "As soon as the words left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself.
"Lead the way." Ye Chong turned away expressionlessly, but his eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. In truth, if the young man had refused, Ye Chong would not have killed him. Of course, he would still suffer.
He suddenly felt that he was similar to the villains in the movies that Shang talked about. The thought reminded him of Shang. Shang was always a headache, but to him, Mu and Shang were like brothers. No one would hate a brother just because he had a problem.
"What's wrong with them?" Ye Chong thought to himself.
Shang had ordered the fleet to enter Spectre. In any case, Ye Chong had disappeared in this underground base, which meant that the problem must be with this base. Shang would not leave until he found the answer.
Besides, this underground city was rich in resources and well-hidden, perfect for hiding.
The remains of the red-tailed beasts and mechs on Planet Spectre had long been cleared by Shang's orders. All traces of the battle had been wiped out by a sandstorm.
Jay's fleet, which was praised by many, had disappeared without a trace. Everyone thought that they had died in the Calamitous Asteroid Belt.
Arwa's fleet successfully escaped from the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. His fleet was mostly destroyed, but that did not stop him from becoming a legend!
Many people came to join his fleet, and his reputation rose to new heights.
What he did not know was that just as he completed the jump, there was a group of people hiding in the darkness on Spectre Planet not far away from him, spying on them.
Everyone believed that Jay, a name that could have become another legend, was not blessed by fate, and disappeared into the vast universe with his equally mysterious fleet.
No one knew, the next time, when this fleet reappeared in front of people, would it evoke only memories?
Ban Meng led the way in front of them listlessly, completely ignoring the strange gazes of the passers-by on the road at his sorry figure.
"As long as you cooperate, I can guarantee the safety of your family," Ye Chong said plainly. He was now strong enough to make such a promise.
Ban Meng perked up, but soon went back to being depressed. He cursed silently, "F * ck, why don't you come to my house, it's safer there."
However, he did not dare to voice his anger, and walked in front with his head lowered.
Ye Chong looked at his surroundings with interest. Everything here was different from all the places he had seen before. Here, he could not see any metal at all. The most he could see were all kinds of wood. Hence, the buildings were not tall. Most of them were three-storey bungalows.
"Why is there no metal here?" Ye Chong asked Ban Meng.
Ban Meng replied absentmindedly, "Metal? What's metal? "
Ye Chong was stumped. He thought for a moment, then took out his dagger and showed it to Ban Meng. "It's something like this."
"It's heavy!" Ban Meng was surprised to receive the dagger. He held it close to his face and studied it. "The material of this dagger is strange, so heavy …" He placed his hand on the blade.
Ye Chong wanted to warn him, but it was too late.
A drop of blood appeared on his thumb. He gasped, "Wow, so sharp!"
"What is this? How can it be so sharp? "Ban Meng looked at Ye Chong eagerly.
"You've never seen it before?" Ye Chong asked again.
"Yes, I've never seen it before," Ban Meng said confidently.
Was there no metal here? Ye Chong found it hard to believe. Metal could be found everywhere. Even Archipelago, with its harsh environment, had metal. How could there be no metal here? Was it because there were no metal ores, or because they had not developed metal smelting technology? (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com.
