Night time.
North district, in the laboratory of the smelting factory.
Cassife was still at her workbench, immersed in assembling the Heart Energy Equipment. There was already a pile of finished products in front of her.
Compared to when Hayashi River left during the day, she had improved significantly in both speed and technique.
"Done. This is the last one. Little Meow, I'll take you to the night market in the south district later for a good meal. "
Cassife clapped her hands and looked at her work in front of her. She nodded in satisfaction and praised herself.
Meow …
Beside her, the Blue Kitty meowed weakly. It glanced at the beautiful girl and sighed inwardly, wondering if it should go look for food on its own.
It had been two hours since nightfall. Every time Cassife made a Heart Energy Equipment, she would say this to the Blue Kitty.
"Wait … I have a better feeling. Maybe I should make another one …" Cassife suddenly said.
Hearing this, the Blue Kitty couldn't help but roll its eyes. It shouldn't have trusted this girl. It would go look for food on its own while Cassife was busy making the Heart Energy Equipment.
The Blue Kitty secretly cursed. It sighed inwardly. Lachnia and Ramila weren't here, so it had to do everything by itself. It really didn't want to move.
Master too, he suddenly lost contact with her an hour ago.
However, the little fellow wasn't worried. To it, Master was almost omnipotent and couldn't be in any danger. She must have entered the depths of the Shi family's territory and cut off all communication.
At this moment —
The Blue Kitty's body stiffened. It turned its head to look outside. Its sharp intuition told it that there was an uninvited guest in the smelting factory.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty got up and scurried to a small table at the side. There was its backpack with all kinds of mechanical devices and switches for the smelting factory's alarm system.
"Meow … Is there a thief? Let me show you the alarm system that Master Cat and Mr. Mossy Bone developed together … "
The Blue Kitty squinted its little eyes and reached into its backpack with its little paws. It found a switch with practiced ease and pressed it with a click.
…
At this moment —
Outside the laboratory, three figures silently appeared. They stood in the shadows and observed the surroundings.
One of them was holding a portrait in his hand. It was of Cassife.
Patter, patter …
Droplets of saliva landed on the portrait and were wiped away by the figure. Immediately, the portrait was somewhat ruined.
"What a beauty! To be able to have such a woman in my life, even if I die, it would be worth it … "
That figure opened his mouth, and within a ray of light, a charcoal-like face was revealed. It was a dark dwarf.
"Supervisor Da Jiao said to bring this woman back in one piece. We can't touch her," another figure said in a low, muffled voice.
"Unscathed … We won't break her arms and legs. She'll still be unscathed from top to bottom!" The third person rolled his eyes and said.
The eyes of the three of them lit up. They looked at each other and revealed lecherous smiles …
Suddenly, the exhaust pipe not far away spewed out a cloud of bone-chilling frost mist toward the three of them.
The surrounding air suddenly froze, and the ground was covered in white frost. The three people's feet were frozen, and the frost quickly spread to their bodies.
"Is this a warning device?"
"How did we activate it?"
"We clearly investigated the surroundings. What's going on …"
The three of them were shocked, but they did not panic. They were extremely powerful, and two of them were already halfway into realm six. They did not care about this frost at all.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
The three dark dwarf powerhouses activated their strength at the same time. A faint blue flame flickered and circulated around their bodies, immediately turning the frost into water droplets. Then, the blue flame flickered and evaporated the water droplets.
"This kind of warning device in a smelting factory can only defend against petty thieves …"
The three dark dwarf powerhouses smiled smugly. They were about to rush into the laboratory to kidnap the unbelievably beautiful girl in the portrait and see if they could do some indescribable things along the way.
At this moment, the three of them stiffened, and their bodies involuntarily trembled. They felt waves of piercing pain seeping from their skin into their bodies. In the blink of an eye, their entire bodies felt as if they were being pricked by countless needles.
"What … poison is this?!"
One of the dark dwarf powerhouses widened his eyes in disbelief. They were dark dwarfs, and this race had an innate resistance to poisons.
In addition, their cultivation techniques greatly increased their resistance to poisons. How did they unknowingly fall into the trap?
Huff, huff, huff …
In a short period of time, the three dark dwarf powerhouses fell to the ground in pain. Liquid continuously seeped from the corners of their mouths and buttocks. The pain was too terrifying, and their internal organs spasmed uncontrollably.
Immediately, the three trembled as they took out vials of medicine from their pockets. Without distinguishing the type, they stuffed them into their mouths. Their bodies continued to emit blue flames, and it took a while for the poison to be cleared from their bodies.
"Why is this smelting factory's warning device so terrifying?!"
The three of them moved quickly and changed several hiding places. They quickly investigated the surroundings, and only relaxed when they found that there were no other traps.
"Don't delay anymore. This smelting factory is very dangerous. Hurry up and kidnap the beautiful girl …" one of the dark dwarf powerhouses muttered.
Immediately, the three of them did not hesitate. They swallowed two more vials of medicine, recovered a lot, and flew toward the laboratory in front of them.
…
In the laboratory, the Blue Kitty narrowed its eyes, and there was a mocking sneer in its eyes.
"Meow … These three bastards, they still dare to come after suffering. Let's give them something more ruthless …" The Blue Kitty moved its claws and reached for another button.
It was very excited. The frost device from before had an attack similar to a spiritual thorn, and this was just an appetizer.
Next, it was the ultimate move that it and Mossy Bone had researched together to deal with those strong enemies.
Suddenly, the Blue Kitty's body froze. Feeling that something was wrong, it suddenly turned its head and looked at the workbench. Unknowingly, Cassife had stopped creating the Heart Energy Equipment, and her cold eyes were staring at the door.
The current Cassife was completely different from her usual appearance as a Mechanic. Her expression was cold, and the aura she emitted actually made the Blue Kitty feel a little threatened.
"Dark dwarves … Are they here to deal with Teacher Chuan? Or are they here to deal with me? That's a little strange … "
"However, no matter what their intentions are, since they're Dark Dwarves and have come to Teacher's smelting factory, I can't just let them go like this."
Her loose Mechanic robe moved a little, and a longsword with an ancient rock pattern sheath appeared in her hand. She stretched out her slender hand and flicked her finger.
The longsword in the sheath suddenly hummed, and the ancient rock patterns on it actually started moving, layer by layer.
The next moment, the longsword was unsheathed, and a flash of sword light flashed, leaving behind dreamy sword shadows in the air.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty's hair stood on end. What did it see? This was the sword force of a level seven Sword Intent!
Having always been by Hayashi River's side, the Blue Kitty's vision in the Martial Dao was not weak at all. Especially during the time in the Foka Tower, when Mossy Bone and the Old Sword Master of Dongli City communicated, the Blue Kitty was often at the side.
It had seen a lot of level seven Sword Intents. It had even seen the transformation from level seven to level eight Sword Intents clearly from the Sword Master's Heng Feng …
The Psychic Force in Cassife's attack might not be strong, and it was only at the level of level five, but the Sword Intent was a solid level seven Sword Intent.
Not only that, but the sword light was very strange. It actually shot out from the gap of the door without making a sound, but it did not destroy the door of the laboratory.
Buzz …
A faint sword light flashed, and three screams immediately sounded outside the laboratory, followed by a wave of curses and angry roars …
…
Outside the laboratory, the three Dark Dwarves' bodies were pierced by the sword light. The wounds were very small, but fresh blood spurted out.
"This is … a level seven Swordsman?!"
"There's a peerless powerhouse lying in ambush inside …"
"Run! Run! "
The three of them reacted very quickly. They immediately got up and ran outside.
However, another sword light flashed and pierced the heart of the last Dark Dwarf. An arrow of blood spurted out, and the Dark Dwarf fell to the ground amidst a shrill scream.
Seeing this, the other two shrieked. Blue flames rose from their bodies, and they sped up, disappearing into the night sky.
The next moment, the door of the laboratory opened, and Cassife walked out with light steps. She frowned slightly as she inspected the Dark Dwarf's corpse on the ground.
"Shi Haishan City is so heavily guarded now. Why are these Dark Dwarves able to sneak into the inner city again and again? Could their stronghold be near this city …" Cassife murmured.
Blue Kitty scuttled out. It was a little shocked at the scene, and it could not believe that this was Cassife's doing.
"Oh … Little Meow, I'm sorry! I scared you. You shouldn't have come here. This corpse will scare you. Big Sis will take you to eat something delicious in a while … "
Cassife reached out and hugged Blue Kitty in her arms. She covered its eyes, stroked its fur, and comforted it softly.
Blue Kitty secretly expressed that it would not be frightened by the Dark Dwarf's corpse, but by Cassife's strength.
Just then, footsteps sounded, and the guards of the smelting factory rushed over.
A moment later, Old Aidan and the others also rushed over, bringing with them bad news. Hayashi River had been kidnapped in the Shi Family's territory.
"Teacher was kidnapped …" Cassife's face darkened.
Old Aidan and the others looked at the genius girl in shock. This Dark Dwarf powerhouse was killed by Cassife with a single strike of her sword.
This girl's martial arts strength was extraordinarily terrifying …
"The Shi Family has guaranteed that they will find Mr. Chuan's whereabouts before tomorrow. The one who did it was a Realm Eight powerhouse. This is really … "Hai Wuya was so anxious that he grabbed his hair.
Hayashi River's importance to the current Redbud Organization was self-evident. Mr. Gu's reliance on this young mechanic made him the hope of the Redbud Organization's future prosperity.
In this regard, the other Redbud descendants also agreed that such a mechanic genius would definitely become an outstanding Master Mechanic in the future. To any force, such a mechanic was self-evident.
If something happened to Mr. Chuan here, Hai Wuya did not know how he would explain it to Mr. Gu.
"I will also mobilize the power of my family to help find Teacher's whereabouts!"
Cassife said. There was an inexplicable power in her words that made everyone feel more at ease.
Madam Butterfly stared at Cassife with surprise in her eyes. This girl's current temperament was not something that could be cultivated by a rich family. Just where did she come from …
Just when the group was anxious, Old Aidan's body trembled. He pressed his ear because he heard Mr. Gu's call.
After a while, Old Aidan hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered to his companions, "Mr. Chuan is fine for now, so we don't have to worry. However, he asked us to keep it a secret and pretend to search with all our strength."
When the crowd heard this, they were still a little worried, but since Lin Chuan had news and said that he was fine, then there was a high chance that he was fine.
The group did not notice that while they were discussing countermeasures, Blue Kitty had received Hayashi River's call and left quietly.
…
Time rewound to an hour ago.
Deep in the Phantom Flame Mine, below the cave where Da Jiao was, there was a tunnel that went straight down. At the end of the tunnel was a cage.
A metal cage!
The walls and floor were glowing with a faint blue flame, and the surroundings were densely covered with strange patterns. One could feel traces of heat emitting from them. This was a cage made of Phantom Flame ore.
The furnishings inside were very complete. All food and clothing were available here.
The only troublesome thing was that communication was completely cut off here. This metal cage could isolate signals.
Hayashi River's communicator had no signal. Even the enhanced headset that he used to communicate with Mossy Bone was silent.
Looking at this metal cage, Moon Core immediately made a judgment. With Hayashi River's strength, it would not be difficult to break out of here.
The troublesome thing was Da Jiao outside. Although Hayashi River had a lot of trump cards, it was as dangerous as walking on a tightrope.
Wandering around, Hayashi River inspected this cage. He was mainly curious about the strange patterns on the walls and floor. These were patterns carved from a special metal extracted from the Phantom Flame ore.
These patterns could isolate signals from the communicator. Hayashi River wanted to study whether it was because of the metal or the patterns.
After studying it carefully, Hayashi River was shocked to find that the metal itself had the ability to isolate signals. However, after carving these patterns, the isolation effect would multiply.
"What a strange technique. Many of the techniques of the previous races were extraordinary …" Hayashi River sighed.
"A long time ago, the races living in the Northern Lands created a cage that can isolate everything from the outside world."
Moon Core's voice sounded. It had found some fragmented information from the incomplete database. Then, it added, "Of course, isolating everything from the outside world is referring to that time. Now, this metal cage's isolation ability is not that high … "
After confirming that there were no other monitoring devices in this metal cage, Hayashi River picked up the communicator and began to modify it.
To Lin Chuan, figuring out the structure of the patterns and bypassing the barrier with the unique patterns was a very simple technical modification.
"Da Jiao, this is the attitude you use when asking for help …"
Hayashi River sat on a chair and sneered faintly. The mechanical arm switched to a miniature workbench and began to modify the communicator.
After a while, the modification of the communicator was completed. After a while, Hayashi River also modified the earpiece in his ear.
Buzz … Buzz … Buzz … The earpiece was connected, and Mossy Bone's voice sounded immediately. "That Da Jiao, when I arrive at Shihaishan City, I'll definitely kill him with the Redbud Sword!"
Mossy Bone was anxious when he suddenly lost contact with Hayashi River. Unfortunately, the Phantom of the Void Bones had not arrived at Shihaishan City yet. Otherwise, he would have already controlled it and attacked with the Redbud Sword.
"Alright. Save it, Your Excellency Mossy Bone. The Phantom of the Void Bones has just been repaired. Don't damage it as soon as we arrive at Shihaishan City, "Hayashi River said.
Mossy Bone snorted and immediately connected to Hayashi River's Heart Energy Goggles to investigate the situation in the metal cage. The AI was very angry, and it had a rare strong killing intent toward someone who was not part of the Dark Net.
"This Da Jiao … I'll have to deal with him when the time comes …" Mossy Bone said coldly.
Hayashi River was contacting Blue Kitty. After connecting, he couldn't help but be stunned when he learned about the situation at the smelting factory.
"Cassife, level-seven sword intent …" Hayashi River muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something.
At this moment, the door of the metal cage shook violently with a bang, and a scalp-numbing grinding sound came from outside.
At the same time, a sound like a knife rubbing against a rough rock rang out. "Aiyo … there's actually a person locked in the Illusory Flame Cage. This is strange. Who did that lunatic of the Human Race lock up? Let me see …"
Accompanied by a hurried scuttling sound, a pair of blood-red beast eyes suddenly lit up in a passageway that looked like a vent on one side of the metal cage. It glared at them.
"Whoosh …"
A gust of scorching wind rolled up, and a bloody stench gushed out of the vent.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
Intense banging sounds rang out, and a strange, hoarse voice roared from the vent, "Human, it's a fresh human, fresh flesh and blood! Great, I'm going to eat you, eat you human … "
Feeling the oppressive aura coming at him, Hayashi River retreated to the wall, and only then could he see what the thing in the vent looked like.
It was a huge beast head, but its head was stuffed with a meter-wide vent. Its black fur glowed with blue flames, and it looked like sharp needles.
The head was madly banging against the vent, and the scorching wind was actually its breath. For a moment, the entire cage was filled with a suffocating stench, as well as the giant rat's frighteningly violent aura.
"F * ck, this is a level-seven monster?!"
Mossy Bone and Moon Core cursed at the same time. This situation was really bad …
