Looking at Xia Yan, who was similar to Xia Xuan but clearly more stable, Bai Qi gave an awkward smile, grasped Xia Yan’s hand, and asked, “The ‘Lao San1 you mentioned, is it Xia Xuan?”
Xia Yan chuckled and replied, “Yes, Lao San has always been spoiled. If he ever caused any trouble for you, I apologize for him.”
“Not troublesome at all, I actually find him quite likable.”
Giving away materials for free, how could he not be?
“That’s good. I was worried that Lao San’s temperament would make him cause unnecessary strife outside.”
Xia Yan nodded, looked at the exploration team of the association behind Bai Qi, and asked, “Bai Qi, are you also here to explore the Emperor’s Secret Realm? That’s convenient; we can have a good chat. I am also considered half a Beast Master in the Mechanical Engineering Department, we can exchange some insights.”
“Uh, I’m just a freshman, probably nothing good to talk about. Let’s just concentrate on exploring the secret realm.”
Hearing Bai Qi’s refusal, Xia Yan didn’t mind. He returned to his team and said to Wang Huai, “Captain Wang, shall we set off now?”
Wang Huai nodded and then opened the entrance.
Since the training ground had already been hacked by Luo Xiang, they were directly teleported to the next entrance this time.
Compared to the monotonous bronze doors outside, this door seemed a bit more intricate. Both in terms of size and complexity, it far exceeded the others.
Wang Huai stood at the entrance and solemnly announced, “Earlier, Thirteenth Bureau sent equipment to explore this area. The danger lies far beyond this point, so everyone, please be careful.”
Everyone nodded and summoned their own beast pets.
The line-up of Wang Huai and others remained the same, but Xia Yan and the others were uniformly equipped with the same type of mechanical life – the Broken Army.
[Name]: Broken Army
[Nature]: Mechanical Engineering Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-Level Lord
[Introduction]: Battlefield mechanical life, one of the wolf killers; its comprehensive ability is very strong.
Although he knew military members generally had uniformly assigned beast pets, why would Thirteenth Bureau do the same? The only difference were the five different colors.
Luckily, the normal formation of Thirteenth Bureau Special Assault Team was five members. Otherwise, Bai Qi would have doubted that they might pull out a seven-brothers gourd.
After Thirteenth Bureau summoned their beast pets, the association didn’t want to fall behind. Several beast pets of different sizes and shapes suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Lisha summoned a grey Moon Shadow Cat. Ma Ge summoned a Blazing Pangolin that was covered with flames. As for Mi Ling, she summoned a Red- Backed Sheep.
[Name]: Moon Shadow Cat
[Nature]: Space Department
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Active in the moonlit night. It has an excellent sense of perception, and will disappear swiftly once other creatures approach, making it extremely difficult to capture.
[Name]: Blazing Pangolin
[Nature]: Fire Attribute, Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Lord
[Introduction]: Wound all over its body with flames, it loves to live near volcanoes and has a very hot temper.
[Name]: Red-Backed Sheep
[Nature]: Ground System
[Bloodline Level]: Mid-Level Elite
[Introduction]: Famous for the red hair on its back. It is the breeding choice of many clothing companies.
Looking at the three pets, Bai Qi had a strange look in his eyes.
Lisha and Ma Ge were Beast Masters of the Lord Creatures, but they both were so afraid of Mi Ling, who had only a nearly powerless Red-Backed Sheep. Could it be that this Red-Backed Sheep mastered some powerful skill beyond its quality of bloodline?
Bai Qi didn’t know what to make of it hardly. He also summoned Alpha, whose handsome appearance immediately attracted attention.
“Bai Qi, your Wilting Dragon Lord has changed again; it looks so cool!!!”
Seeing the now cool-looking Alpha, Tang Miao’s eyes instantly turned into heart shapes. She instinctively wanted to rush over, but was pulled back by Wang Huai.
“Tang Miao, we’re on a mission now. Be serious.”
Wang Huai appeared stern, making Tang Miao feel guilty and she had to obediently retreat.
It’s so tense, is the next area very dangerous?
Seeing this, Bai Qi also turned cautious, ready to summon Gamma as a shield.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Wang Huai activated the key to open the door and walked in. Bai Qj and others followed closely behind.
The world spun around him. Bai Qi only felt a change in the air, a strong smell of decay abruptly assaulted his nose, and he immediately summoned Gamma, molding it into a mask that he wore on his face.
In contrast, others seemed to be well-prepared. The moment the Thirteenth Bureau detected abnormality in the air, they activated their masks, providing complete protection for their heads. Feng Ye and the others also brought out their protective gear to shield themselves.
Ever since he had passed mechanical related matters onto Schuck, they had grown negligent.
Right, when they returned, he would have Schuck reflect on it properly. They didn’t even think to prepare potential necessary tools for the Beast Master in advance.
Awoo?
(It seemed that someone was saying bad things about the dog, but maybe it was just his imagination?)
Just as Beta, who was trying hard to “meditate,” suddenly opened his drowsy eyes to look around and noticed Schuck still testing his abilities, he fell asleep again.
(Hard work, strive, snore…)
“Bai Qi, what are you doing usingyour pet on your face like that?”
Watching Bai Qi use his pet as a protective gear, Feng Ye couldn’t help but laugh, while Wang Huai and the others quickly understood what was going on.
In terms of resistance to poisonous gas, their protective gear might not be as effective as Bai Qi’s Gamma.
“It doesn’t matter; the effect is the same anyway.”
Bai Qi tried to breathe a few times, found nothing unusual, and even sensed that the air was fresher than outside, so he didn’t care.
“The exploration equipment that was sent earlier had been destroyed as soon as it entered, and we didn’t see any creatures doing it. So, everyone has to be careful from here on.”
Wang Huai scanned the surrounding environment, turned to Xia Yan, and asked, “Xia Yan, have you discovered anything?”
Xia Yan patted the Broken Army next to him. After careful sensing, he said, “My energy detector did not find any energy fluctuations around us other than our own, so there should be no life presence. However, there might be traps or similar mechanisms around here.”
Wang Huai nodded, he was about to move forward when Lisha suddenly said, “There’s indeed no life around, but it seems like there are a lot of other things moving towards us.”
Hearing Lisha’s words, the Beast Masters from the association, like Feng Ye, immediately went into high alert, their expressions serious, obviously trusting Lisha’s judgment completely. The members of the Thirteenth Bureau also quickly adopted a defensive stance.
In the next moment, countless peculiar stone weapons quickly appeared around them, spurring a considerable amount of pressure despite their lack of energy pulses.
“Equipment Creatures? There are so many here?”
Feng Ye couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. Some weapons or artifacts that had been passed down from ancient times could produce spirits and become pets, but this probability was really low, so Equipment Creatures were extremely rare. He did not expect to see so many here.
“Not Equipment Pets, more like puppets, similar to the terracotta soldiers at the training ground.”
Wang Huai looked at the weapons that were gradually getting closer and commented, “Looking at this situation, this place seems to be the weapons repository of the Emperor’s Secret Realm. If there are no surprises, there should be a guardian controlling these weapons from behind. Everybody, quickly eliminate them.”
With Wang Huai’s command, Li Xusheng immediately attacked, swinging his dual hammer and leading the others. Tang Miao and the others cooperated with him from the sidelines, they quickly cleared a path among the endless sea of ancient weapons.
On the other hand, Xia Yan’s side was far more orderly—five Destroying Armies in tandem raised their shoulder-mounted cannons, indiscriminately bombarding the weaponry before them.
“This is the scene I’ve been waiting for. Tear them apart!”
Watching as the Thirteenth Bureau began clearing the debris, Ma Ge, who had been itching for action, let out a roaring laugh. He turned to Feng Ye, “Ye, let’s go!”
Feng Ye nodded, and had the Earth Elemental prepared for the attack. Then, Ma Ge’s Blazing Pangolin rolled into a ball of flame and sped towards the Earth Elemental.
“Off you go!”
Just as the Blazing Pangolin was about to collide with the Earth Elemental, the latter threw out a punch. The Blazing Pangolin picked up even greater speed, hurtling towards the ancient weapons and instantly smashing any of them it confronted, leaving only tracks of burning flames behind.
Then in the next moment, as the Blazing Pangolin was about to rush out of the ancient weapons, Lisha’s Moon Shadow Cat teleported in front of it, emitting a soft cry. A spatial portal materialized before the Blazing Pangolin. After it rolled in, another portal appeared, and the Blazing Pangolin emerged once again, its speed even faster than before.
“Although the two of them squabbled before, their pets demonstrated great synergy.”
Watching the seamless coordination of the Moon Shadow Cat and Blazing Pangolin as they laid waste to the ancient weapons, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be surprised.
“You’ll get used to it. Many in our archaeology teams are like this.”
Unfazed by the sight, Feng Ye casually pointed towards the side and said, “But if you really want a comparison, you should look at Sister Mi Ling.”
Bai Qi perked up his eyebrows and followed the direction Feng Ye pointed. He saw that Mi Ling’s Red-Backed Sheep was calmly strolling among the ancient weapons while its thick fur entangled any weapons that attempted to attack it.
Well, this is quite a leisurely way to fight.
Bai Qi glanced at Mi Ling who was still calmly eating cake and couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, let’s begin work too.”
Gazing at the ancient weapons that continued to multiply in a hail of bombardment, Bai Qi promptly summoned the Husky.
They needed AOE—how could they overlook the Husky’s Mechanical Lord?
“Alpha, Schuck, Beta, bombard them to your heart’s content! Yes, consider this the first competition between you two!”
At Bai Qi’s words, the previously sleeping Beta immediately roused and Schuck paused its calculations. Both dogs stared at Alpha with bright eyes.
Alpha’s Fire of Soul ignited vigorously. After a moment of eye contact, the two pets attacked at the same time, exerting an intense firepower that even suppressed a group of Four Stage Beast Masters.
Indeed, if you feel depressed, you must express it. Look at them; aren’t they refreshed?
