Last Totem Novel - Chapter 585
Chapter 585 Insect Adept
Just as Tie Zha stomped on the scouting bees, a tall, rainbow-colored adept suddenly raised his head and looked at a row of wooden shelves in front of him in a colorful tent in a Elda camp more than ten kilometers away.
There were oil lamps on the shelf, burning with tiny flames. Upon closer inspection, one of the candles was extinguished. The adept frowned. He picked up the map beside him and examined it for a while. Then, he drew a circle with his brush. Then, he strode out of the tent and walked towards the middle of the camp while shouting, “Too fierce, too fierce!”
Tai Vicious translated into Silver City’s common language, meaning “big prey.” Those who could discover and kill the Six-eyed Bugs deserved to be attacked.
Hearing his shout, the three-meter-tall, bronze-skinned, purple-pupils robust men rushed out of their tents with flying spears and gathered towards the adepts. Most of them wore leather short-sleeved clothes, muscles on their arms were sturdy, veins bulging out, and they were glowing with a layer of oil.
“Sarasim!” The adept stood in the middle of the camp, raising the map in his hand. Sarah means “to kill you” or “to kill him”, while Ximu means “to kill you”, which is similar to the human’s “ah” and “ya”.
In less than two minutes, hundreds of strong men lined up in three rows. Immediately after, the adept announced his location, angle, and strength as if he was shouting to himself.
“Sarah!” The robust men let out neat roars. They held spears in their right hands and took a step forward with their left feet bent downwards. At the same time, they leaned back to throw spears. Azure light flowed out from the grip like liquid, quickly flowing along the lines of the spear, quickly lighting up the entire flying spear.
In the next second, they simultaneously turned around and kicked, shouting loudly, throwing out their flying spears with all their might. In an instant, streaks of blue light shot straight into the clouds. With the support of psionic power, the Thunder Spear could fly up to fifteen kilometers. Although it was far inferior to a human howitzer, it was still sufficient.
A few seconds later, Tie Zha, who was exploring the river, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Without hesitation, he ran towards the Nether River and jumped.
“Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!”
Just as he jumped down, a blue light flashed behind him, as if the entire world was shaking. The snow was like a mountain that rose from the ground in an instant, rushing into the air and falling down like a waterfall. If anyone saw it now, they would definitely be stunned by this devastating scene.
The power of the lightning spears was ten times greater than that of the same number of howitzers. Even Saint-ranked experts did not dare to fight them head-on.
Tie Zha fell into the water and sank rapidly. He calmly ignited the power furnace and activated the fuel injector the moment it reached its peak.
High-pressure oxygen and fuel are injected into the combustion chamber at the same time and mixed together. The spark plug flashed and detonated the gas.
“Aggressive!” With a loud noise, Tie Zha broke through the water and flew across the river. If he had hesitated a moment ago, he would have been blown half to death. If he hadn’t discovered the scouting bees, he might still be fine. After all, against ordinary scouts, there was no need to use lightning spears to shoot at the same time.
However, these six-eyed insects were extremely human, sensitive, and had protective colors, so it was impossible for ordinary investigators to catch them. Tie Zha’s vision was sharp and his power armor was specially made, so he was able to discover it. It was precisely because of this that the adepts launched their lightning spear attacks. Otherwise, even if they saw it, they would only pay attention to it for a moment.
When Tie Zha returned to the camp, he had already used up more than half of the fuel. After filling up the logistical staff, he flew to the management center of the mercenary group.
The officer in glasses who had gone through the formalities for the Black Pig King received him.
“Is there anything you can do?” Tie Zha lifted his power armor helmet and asked, wearing large sunglasses. Although some people could identify him by his voice, they were still a minority. Moreover, the use of a transducer would alert others. Many mercenaries had wounds on their faces or didn’t want others to see their expressions, so wearing sunglasses was common. However, the use of sound transducers was extremely rare. Others would think that if they wanted to hide their voices, they would most likely have committed something big.
He could play dumb, and he wasn’t as flamboyant as using a phonograph.
“Sir, there is no war yet. There is no mission for the time being.” The officer in glasses explained.
“Probably some missions?” Tie Zha asked.
[Small missions include regional reconnaissance, protection engineers setting up or maintaining communication base stations, protecting convoys, etc. Medium missions include removing fire points, camps, etc. Large missions include …]
“Hey, who’s in charge here?” As the glasses officer was explaining, a man opened the curtain and walked in, interrupting him. The man was in his early thirties, of medium build, and was wearing a second-generation psionic power armor. Judging from the outline of his face, he should be from the Far East.
“I am.” Replied the glasses officer, a trace of displeasure flashing across his eyebrows.
The man walked forward and threw a stack of information on the table. He said, “We, the Red Tiger Legion, will report.”
“Please wait a moment.” Eyeglasses said.
“Isn’t it just a stamp? What’s there to wait for?” The man frowned and urged, “Hurry up, the brothers are waiting outside.”
“Sir, we need to verify the information. Please wait patiently.” Eyeglasses said patiently.
The man snorted coldly and urged again, “Hurry up, this daddy’s time is very precious.”
The glasses officer glanced at him and sat down. Just as he was about to pick up the document, he was pressed down by a hand.
“Friend, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
“Ah” The glasses officer looked at Tie Zha and then at the man, hesitating.
In the midst of the stalemate, the man gradually revealed a sinister expression. He secretly circulated his psionic power and took a step forward, smashing into Tie Zha. When he first entered, he noticed that the other party was wearing mechanical power armor. Since he wasn’t a psionic, he definitely wasn’t a Silver City noble, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, because the operation of the mechanical power armor required fuel, it was impossible to maintain the active state in a non-combat state. Under this collision, the opponent was caught off guard and would at least suffer some hidden injuries.
“Kuang!” However, there was a muffled sound. The man seemed to have crashed into an iron city wall and took several steps back. Blood and qi surged in his chest, almost causing him to stand unsteadily.
“You … who are you!” The man covered his chest and stared fiercely at Tie Zha as he asked sternly.
Tie Zha did not answer. With a “bang”, he crushed the floor and crashed into an iron mountain!
The other party’s heart was vicious, wanting to take advantage of his unpreparedness to cause shock wounds. His mind was sharp, so he naturally saw through it at a glance, so he acted mercilessly. With his profound and brilliant ancient martial arts, he concentrated all of his strength on his right shoulder and crashed into his opponent’s chest like a bamboo.
The man instantly crashed into the tent like a cannonball and flew backwards. Immediately after, a series of clanging sounds rang out, knocking over countless things.
Seeing the sudden change in front of him, the glasses officer’s eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. Tie Zha patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling him to continue.
“This” The officer hesitated for a moment and said, “They’re acting so strong. Perhaps there’s someone backing them up. You’d better hurry up and leave.”
“It’s fine, you can continue.” Tie Zha said nonchalantly.
“Alright” The officer sighed and gave a detailed explanation of the mission that might be issued, as well as other details that might be relevant to the mercenary corps.
After understanding the situation, Tie Zha walked out of the tent and the seven or eight power-armored warriors waiting outside immediately surrounded him.
“Who are you and why did you injure my brother?” A man pointed at him and questioned him loudly. The other warriors also glared at him angrily.
Tie Zha didn’t say anything. He patted his power armor helmet and ignited the power furnace. Most of the time, speaking is not as honest as a fist. If it had been an ordinary person just now, he might have been injured. This group of people was obviously not something that could be solved by just relying on their mouths. Only by subduing them can one be reasonable.
Seeing Tie Zha enter the state of preparation for battle, the man in the lead was greatly shocked and hurriedly retreated. He did not seem to have expected him to be so powerful and was about to attack without saying a word.
Following the man’s movements, the rest of the power-armored warriors scattered backwards in unison. Tie Zha, however, did not move at all. He twisted his neck and crossed his hands in front of his chest, as if he was waiting for them to attack first.
“Stop!” Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side. As he looked at the voice, he saw an officer and two groups of soldiers approaching aggressively.
“Sir, this person injured our people for no reason. He still wants to cause trouble.” Before the officer arrived, the man complained.
“Who are you!” After coming over, the officer’s face was stiff and he didn’t ask anything. He pointed at Tie Zha and cursed, “Why are you causing trouble here? Do you know what kind of place this is?”
Tie Zha did not answer, only quietly looking at the officer. The other party’s shoulder badge showed the rank of major, and he was at least the squadron leader of the garrison.
“Mercenary, I’m talking to you. Do you hear me?” The squadron leader narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
“What is it?” Tie Zha asked indifferently.
“You hurt people for no reason and violated the wartime security regulations. Follow me.” The squadron leader said.
“What if I don’t go?” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and asked. The other party was obviously siding with the Scarlet Tiger Legion, so it was pointless to reason with them. In the face of this situation, either admit defeat or become even more powerful.
“Mercenary, if you want to die, don’t stay here.” The squadron leader said with a ferocious look in his eyes.
“Just you guys?” Tie Zha laughed, and then his tone changed. He said fiercely, “Believe it or not, I’ll kill you now!” The iron slag raised a finger and said, “I promise, it won’t be more difficult than crushing an ant to death.”
The squadron leader’s face immediately turned pale and cold sweat broke out. The other party was wearing a power armor, and he was just a flesh and blood body. It wasn’t difficult to kill him. However, after experiencing many storms, he quickly calmed down and understood that the other party was just bluffing. If he really did this, not only would the opponent lose his life, he would also implicate the entire team. Thinking of this, he regained his momentum and shouted, “How dare you!”
“Do you really want to try?” Tie Zha clenched his fists and casually asked.
