The Queen of Pain waved her hand lightly, and countless mechanical creatures rushed toward the four people who wanted to sneak in before the door closed. He Yi, who was at the front, was knocked away by a Tyrannosaurus. By the time he blasted open a path, the black door in front of him was about to close.
He only saw the back of the Winged Chariot.
Bai Micha even turned around and made a funny face, as if he was mocking Meng Qi's predicament of not being able to achieve anything despite all his schemes.
"Bastard! Why didn't she stop the two intruders but only attack us? " He Yi roared as he tore apart a mechanical creature in front of him. Bai Haiting and the others had guessed correctly. In order to increase his strength to another level before the ultimate trial, he had not only spent a lot of money to open up the counterweight core to obtain specific information about this place, but he had also secretly implanted some xenogeneic flesh into his left arm.
The danger of having a part of the body turned into a xenogeneic was slightly lower than having a whole body turned into a xenogeneic. As long as he took the appropriate potion, he could delay the corrosion of the xenogeneic flesh. With the He family's wealth and connections, he could at least delay it for ten years. As long as he could become a player in these ten years, he would naturally have a way to continue.
Xenogeneic was a method that most people despised and did not understand. It was a method to quickly obtain power.
Generally speaking, the factors that affected the speed of its spread were the will of the xenogeneic that the flesh originally belonged to and the strength of the xenogeneic's body. However, no matter how strong one's body was, even if it was at the level of a player, it would not be able to withstand the spread of the xenogeneic flesh like a virus.
However, some factions in the human camp had already researched xenogeneic to an extremely high level. As long as one had enough resources, there was a way to successfully turn into a xenogeneic for the rest of one's life without being devoured and corroded. This method was extremely profound. The He family had spent almost all of their wealth to contact such a faction and implant this left arm into him.
They had also promised to help He Yi continue to evolve.
However, the prerequisite was that he could obtain a place in the Chronometer Tower Consortium in the ultimate trial and obtain one thing.
He had planned for this for too long and considered every aspect. In the end, Li Xiang, Dong Ling, and Ming Xu suddenly appeared and intercepted him!
"It's over …" Bai Haiting let out a long sigh. Even though he was reluctant, he, the Yakumo Ruler, and Fei Yujing had no choice but to retreat. The Queen of Pain stood on the mechanical hawk. The Thousand-Legged Centipede under the hawk's claws was thrown into the black hexahedron. Soon, the mechanical hawk disappeared into the black door.
With a loud bang, the door was completely shut.
What welcomed them was a horde of mechanical creatures and ferocious hunting species.
Even if they were not afraid of any hunting species one-on-one, in the face of such a terrifying number, the four of them would be devoured in an instant. If they did not retreat, they would die here.
"Let's go, Brother He." Yakumo Chi patted He Yi's shoulder. He liked to make friends with strong people. Although He Yi's family was considered to be at the bottom of the hierarchy, the strength he had displayed today was enough to enter his circle.
In his opinion, it was a pity to lose a great opportunity, but it was not to the extent of causing the world to collapse.
He Yi gritted his teeth. He could only follow their footsteps and run out of the City of Machines.
In the sky, the black hexahedron building flashed suddenly after the Queen of Pain entered. It shrunk into a speck of dust and flew into the sky.
The few of them were shocked when they saw this change. They retreated while observing. The speck of dust rushed into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
He Yi snorted coldly again and suddenly sped up. He rushed in front and led them out of the City of Machines very quickly.
There were chaotic footprints left behind by the hunting species everywhere. Therefore, they could not find Ming Xu at all.
At the last moment, Bai Yunfei did not care about looking bad. He frantically shouted Fei Yujing's name from behind. When she saw that it was him, she was stunned. A thought came to her mind. While she was hesitating, Bai Haiting was one step ahead of her to save Bai Yunfei from the hunting species.
He came back with the frightened Bai Yunfei and gave Fei Yujing a meaningful look. "Xiao Yu, this is your future husband. I don't want to see you widowed before you get married."
"Thank you cousin Haiting for your help. Xiao Yu will protect brother Bai well." Fei Yujing's smile was watertight. It was as if that thought had never appeared in her mind, but in her heart, she was a little more afraid of Bai Haiting.
The four of them ran with Bai Yunfei all the way out of the Ancient Mechanical Tree. They also learned about what had happened from Bai Yunfei.
It turned out that Baimiya and Li Xiang had saved the lives of Bai Yunfei and the others. Most likely, the group of people had left with Bai Jiaqi.
When he heard that Li Xiang had ruined his plans twice, He Yi finally understood that he had been listed as an enemy.
The trial-takers of Houcheng, Bai Yunfei's group, and Bai Jiaqi's group. The trial-takers had reduced the number of people and annoyed Li Xiang. The originally flawless plan had been ruined time and time again. Ever since the Polar Night, this guy had been ruining his plans.
He Yi snorted.
Bai Haiting and Ba Yunchi were a little embarrassed. They had tacitly agreed with He Yi's plan, but they hadn't thought that the cannon fodder would be saved. Now that they looked at Bai Yunfei, the two of them could only pretend that nothing had happened.
Bai Yunfei wasn't stupid enough to bring up the matter again. He could only silently follow Fei Yujing and keep a distance from them.
"Alas, this time it's really a waste of effort. The cannon fodder that my Yakumo family gathered is gone. I can only find others. If there's nothing else, I'll leave here. After a day's delay, my points ranking has reached 200,000. It's not good if I don't go hunting. "
Ba Yunchi was a little discouraged, but they were all the same, which made him feel a little better. This matter was caused by the Bai family and had little to do with him. As for Li Xiang, the benefits given by the Wild Hunter were a lot, but at most, he would do it conveniently. Moreover, Li Xiang was too strong. He had to think about whether to continue this commission.
Bai Haiting also thought so. His goal was also the quota of the Chronometer Tower Consortium. He couldn't waste too much time.
He Yi obviously hid a lot of things from them. He didn't want to be someone else's hatchet man.
"He Yi seems to know very well about the final collapse of the black hexahedron. I see that you don't panic at all." Fei Yujing held the Glacial Sword with a faint smile.
He Yi turned around to look at her. This woman wasn't easy to deal with. She took the initiative to ask this kind of question with an attitude of condemning a punitive expedition. She didn't get any benefits and had to watch her first love leave with another woman while her fiancé watched from the side. It was indeed a big loss of face. Was she trying to find a way to vent her anger on him?
If he got into a conflict with Fei Yujing now, Bai Haiting and Ba Yunchi definitely wouldn't help him. Although he wasn't afraid of the three of them, He Yi had a new plan in mind that needed their help.
"Sorry, I hid some things from you before. However, we had no choice but to do so. Earlier, I mentioned that a part of that great opportunity was Origin Substance crystals, right? "He Yi took a deep breath and tried to lower his voice as much as possible.
The three of them nodded.
Origin crystal was an Origin Substance resource that was even more condensed than solid Origin Substance. A drop of liquid Origin Substance was equivalent to a standard tube of gas Origin Substance, and a standard volume of solid Origin Substance was equivalent to a hundred drops of liquid Origin Substance. As for the rarest Origin Substance crystal, a standard volume was equivalent to a hundred standard volumes of solid Origin Substance!
In the future, magic users with a bit of resources and connections would cultivate using liquid Origin Substance and gas Origin Substance. As for magicians, those with money would prefer to cultivate using solid Origin Substance. As for the so-called Origin Substance crystal, it was a resource exclusive to players!
It didn't circulate on the market at all.
The relationship between it and other Origin Substance carriers wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. Origin Substance crystals were only slightly inferior to the legendary Origin Substance particles. They could be considered extremely pure Origin Substance resources and could be used to double the results with half the effort.
Origin Substance particles were naturally the best, but that only existed in theory. Furthermore, Origin Substance particles weren't as abundant as Origin Substance crystals. A standard volume was the size of a fingernail, but He Yi said that there were quite a few Origin Substance crystals inside. If that was true, then anyone would be jealous.
"I didn't lie about the Origin Substance crystals, but they aren't inside that black hexahedron. Origin Substance crystals are normally used to power some special mechanical devices. As far as I know, there is such a mechanical device in the sky. As long as we can steal a bit of the Origin Substance crystals inside, our trip won't have been in vain, "He Yi explained.
"Not inside, but in the sky?" Eight Cloud Ruler frowned, then suddenly understood. No wonder the black hexahedron rose into the sky after it disappeared. That was their final destination.
It was just that he hadn't mentioned this from beginning to end.
"The black hexahedron imprisons mutants and is guarded by mechanical creatures. Periodically, they will hunt some prey for them to eat. Above that are the giant dark creatures that feed on mutants." Fei Yujing said calmly, "Only they need special mechanical devices to control them. Am I right?"
"As expected of Miss Fei. You're absolutely right. I was worried that you wouldn't want to take the risk of angering the dark creatures, so I hid it from you. " He Yi sighed. Of course, his goal was far more than that. Hiding it from them was only one of his reasons.
"In any case, there's no point in saying anything now." Eight Cloud Ruler harrumphed coldly. He wasn't happy about being a free fighter, but that was his own greed. There was nothing he could say.
"That's not necessarily true. If Li Xiang and the others can successfully escape, I'm sure that with Baimiya's information sources, they won't necessarily be unaware of the existence of Origin Substance crystals. As long as they can escape, then we still have a chance," He Yi said through gritted teeth. "Didn't one of them escape?"
"What's your plan?" Bai Haiting asked.
"It's simple. Everyone, let's part ways here for now. Once we get out, we can spread the news of what happened here. No matter whether or not he gets the Origin Substance crystals, we can't let him have an easy time after he comes out." He Yi replied coldly. "If he gets it, that would be even better. We can borrow everyone's strength to kill them, making them like stray dogs with nowhere to hide. They'll spend the entire trial in fear."
This was a classic example of harming others without benefiting oneself. However, there was still a chance that they could obtain some Origin Substance crystals. Bai Haiting and Eight Cloud Ruler's eyes lit up, and they both nodded.
In any case, they had been entrusted with the task of killing Li Xiang in the first place.
"We can also use Dong Ling and Ming Xu as bait and lure them into a trap." He Yi laughed savagely. "During the Polar Night, Dong Ling and Ming Xu have a very good relationship with Li Xiang. This time, she sacrificed herself for him. I'm sure that after they come out, Li Xiang will immediately look for her. Don't you think so, Miss Fei?"
The ball was kicked back to her, and it was a ball filled with malicious intent.
Fei Yujing smiled but didn't say anything.
