Last Totem Novel - Chapter 454
Chapter 454 Deterrence
Normal Bug Transformers or Psionic Adepts below Tier 7 would never dare to fly at low altitudes in their power armor like him. If they accidentally hit a truck or concrete wall, they would be crippled even if they didn’t die.
Not only was Tie Zha physically strong and quick to react, but his Origin Energy perception was also secretly helping him, allowing him to naturally flow unhindered. A distance of several hundred meters passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he flew to the entrance of the fortress, ignoring the existence of the sentry post and rushing straight in.
“Aggressive …”
The guard didn’t even have time to react when he was knocked to the ground by the violent air currents. He didn’t know what had happened.
At the same time, Tie Zha, who had barged into the hall, made a sharp turn in the air and landed steadily at the entrance of the stairs. Then, he forcefully kicked the stairs, and with a muffled “bang”, he cracked the floor and directly jumped onto the second floor.
Hearing the strange sound, the two reformers of the door-keeper looked over at the same time. However, Tie Zha didn’t give them a chance to react. He took large strides forward, sprayed out flames from his back, turned into a meteor, and smashed his fist straight at them.
A fierce fist wind came towards him, and the nearest reformer could only cross his hands and protect his face.
“Kuang!”
The entire floor seemed to tremble as the dull sound of the collision echoed. The reformer immediately flew backwards like an unloaded cannonball, colliding with his companion behind him and flying more than ten meters away.
With a successful strike, Tie Zha did not stop for a moment. He turned around and kicked open the door of the bearded office, causing the wood chips to instantly shatter and scatter everywhere.
“Peng Peng Peng!”
Before he could see what was happening inside the door, a tongue of fire sprayed out. Tie Zha could only feel a tremendous force coming from his chest and involuntarily took a step back.
“Hualala …”
Immediately after, a large number of steel balls rolled down from his feet. Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and steadily walked in. “Crack!” A scorching steel ball sprayed out from the smoke.
“Peng Peng Peng!” Three consecutive shotballs struck his body, and apart from the momentary impact, it was completely unharmed.
“Peng Peng Peng!” Tie Zha raised his hand and pulled the trigger. Instantly, flames sprayed out from his arm, and three emergency shotguns flew over one after another.
A burst of dazzling sparks flashed by, and the sound of the steel ball falling to the ground could be heard continuously. It seemed that neither side was afraid of shotguns.
Smoke filled his eyes, but it didn’t affect Tie Zha’s vision at all. A two-meter-tall, streamlined man appeared on the protective glass of his helmet. This is the latest model of mechanical body, using two sets of oil-fired mechanical power furnaces, combat power far exceeds ordinary modifiers.
However, the remoulded person was still the remoulded person. No matter how strong his body was, the internal brain tissue was still lacking protection, and the amount of shock he could withstand was very limited. Simply put, Tie Zha’s brain has two layers of protection, an external steel armor and an internal body. Transformers only had one layer of protection. Although they could carry all sorts of equipment to simulate the protection of a human body, they were still far from the human body, not to mention Tie Zha, a compound evolver with a strong body.
However, reforming people also has the advantage of reforming people. This advantage is precisely that there is no carbon-based torso, the whole body is one, can carry more mechanical parts. Generally speaking, compared to mechanical power armor, advanced reformers have bigger power furnaces, stronger torque and more fuel.
After seeing his opponent’s position, Tie Zha slammed his bow into him.
The remoulded man did not dodge, his eyes flashing red. The two power furnaces on his waist and abdomen rotated at high speed, and the orange-red flames immediately shone out. Then, he stepped forward and clasped his shoulders.
“Kuang!”
The two of them collided violently, but Tie Zha’s strength was much greater. The remoulded man flew out and smashed the glass on the ground.
Looking around, other than this person, the office was empty, and Big Beard was not around. Tie Zha quickly rushed to his desk and kicked it open, only to see a square door on the ground. Since it had just been opened, the traces were obvious. Tie Zha stepped down, revealing a simple escape route.
“Hualala …”
At this time, the remoulded man staggered to his feet. His movements were a little slow, as if he was still dizzy. Tie Zha walked over and fired five or six consecutive shots at his head. Although the steel ball could not penetrate the steel plate, such a close distance was enough to shatter his visual sensors.
Then, he grabbed one of the feet of the remoulded man and dragged it out. If he chased after Big Beard now, it would definitely be too late. In any case, his goal was to intimidate him. It was fine if he didn’t kill him.
After walking out of the door, the two reformers had already climbed up and were heading this way. He immediately threw the remoulder in his hand towards them.
The two of them were unable to dodge, and with a “clang” sound, they collided and fell back to the ground. Tie Zha raised his arm and pulled the trigger continuously.
“Peng Peng Peng!”
While shooting, he took out two burning grenades from his back pocket, bounced off the pull ring with his thumb, and rolled over.
“Boom!”
Two consecutive explosions caused the three reformers to burn into flames. High temperatures can quickly burn their brains and nervous systems, eliminating the need to penetrate armor or cause enough concussion damage.
At this moment, Tie Zha suddenly felt a chill. He instinctively raised his arm and shot backwards.
Immediately after, a red light flashed from behind, and a fireball appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a “boom!” With a loud explosion, the explosion caused Tie Zha to fall to the ground. He quickly got up and turned around to see a Red Scorpion member lying not far away. His entire body was charred black, emitting white smoke. On the ground was a half-exploded bazooka.
The power armor was not afraid of ordinary bullets, but it was afraid of the explosion. Just like the ancient armor, the defensive chop was first-rate, the defensive stab was second-rate, and the defensive blunt weapon was third-rate. Facing the explosive damage, the power armor might not be damaged at all, but the people inside were all paste. If this rocket landed on his body, with his body strength and the cushioning of his inner armor, he probably wouldn’t receive much damage, but he definitely wouldn’t feel well.
“Enemy attack!” “Enemy attack!” “Enemy attack!” Very quickly, a chaotic shout came from below, and the alarm sounded. Less than a minute had passed since he rushed in.
Seeing that the enemy’s army was about to arrive, Tie Zha quickly rushed back to his office, shattered the glass window, jumped out, and activated the jet system to fly away. On the one hand, he had no interest in massacring ordinary soldiers; On the other hand, he didn’t want to get hurt for no reason. He had tasted enough of his injuries a while ago, and he cherished his feathers more than before.
When they left the stronghold, two more rockets were fired at him. He turned a corner in the air, but the rocket seemed to have eyes, and immediately adjusted the direction of its pursuit. He immediately realized that this was no ordinary rocket launcher, but a small missile with thermal tracking
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly flew up vertically and fired two consecutive shots downwards, detonating the missile. However, he was still unable to escape from the explosion. He rolled in the air for more than a dozen laps in a row, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, the Wilderness Knights had a simple intelligent system that allowed them to adjust their flight balance in a timely manner when their master lost control. However, the system was also unstable and could only be used as an emergency measure.
Not long after, he met up with the Black Pig King and Lilith and rode away on the sandsea flying fish.
Just as Tie Zha began his return journey, Big Beard was hiding in the basement of the fortress, his entire body covered in cold sweat. If it had been a few seconds ago, he would have been beaten into meat sauce. This assassin’s strength was comparable to that of a Saint. The three transformers had only blocked it for less than ten seconds, and their effect was similar to that of a sandbag.
If he wasn’t wrong, this assassin should have been sent from Crimson Peak Stronghold. Although he had many enemies, those with such strength had already killed him long ago, so there was no need to wait until now. Moreover, this person clearly did not go all out just now. After discovering his escape tunnel, he did not chase after him. Otherwise, with the opponent’s strength, if he really wanted to kill him, he would at most suffer some injuries.
About an hour later, Big Beard received a communication request from Hagrid and immediately connected.
“Friend, we discussed it just now” Hagrid on the screen hesitated and didn’t finish the second half of his sentence.
“Discuss what?” The bearded man asked in a trembling voice.
“I think we were wrong about what happened before …” Hagrid said sincerely. “But no matter what, it’s a misunderstanding. There’s no need to fight to the death. Say …” He paused and asked with a smile, “Is that so?”
The bearded man pondered for a moment and didn’t say anything.
“Although it’s a misunderstanding, we won’t miss out on the compensation.” Hagrid said.
“How about this” Big Beard rubbed his hands and said, “It’s indeed a misunderstanding. I think …” He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s just follow the usual practice. One hundred and fifty gold coins for each person, the sand truck is second-hand. As for the other equipment, just watch and give them to the market.” Now that things had come to this point, he could only suffer the loss he deserved. He had already put away his contempt for the group of people from Crimson Peak Stronghold. If the red scorpion were to attract a great enemy, not to mention whether he could survive or not, even his family would suffer.
As for the upper echelons, the Red Scorpion’s usual practice was to bully the weak and avoid the strong. There wouldn’t be any major problems. At most, it would be to scold him for being incompetent. The Red Scorpion’s head was a rank eight psionic cultivator over forty years old, so it wouldn’t be hard for them to fight for their breath with their half-life inheritance. Furthermore, they weren’t the only ones who had conflicts of interest with Crimson Peak Stronghold. Now that he was the weakest, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Taking a step back, even if there was a storm, everyone had to shoulder it together. However, in this world, no one was a fool. It was all for money, and no one was interested in hard scum.
“Then thank you. Let’s go to Sand Wind Castle for a drink when we have time. It’s my treat.” Hagrid said straightforwardly.
“Alright, it’s a deal.” The bearded man said with a smile. There wasn’t a trace of unhappiness on his face.
