192: Chapter 174: Siege and Kill 192: Chapter 174: Siege and Kill “So, the transaction is complete…” The camera overhead had already gone completely dark, the surging fire showing that it had entered self-destruction mode, leaving no part that could possibly leak information. And the two killing machines that had been standing before Lu Ping’an had silently vanished into the shadows. But a large number of low-level magic monsters hadn’t… if the second-tier ones could be considered low-level, that is. “…Heh, ‘weaker ones don’t need to talk about transactions,’ huh?” Lu Ping’an smiled, understanding the other party’s meaning. No matter how flowery your words are, if you don’t have strength, it’s all pointless. “Violence!” The next moment, Lu Ping’an rushed into the midst of the swarm of monsters. Before him were countless metal demons; only by killing could he earn the right to live, to continue the transaction. Strength is the prerequisite for the transaction, survival is always the most important right at any time. Lu Ping’an laughed, grateful for the simple and straightforward rules of this world. “…Something’s not right.” While Lu Ping’an was still “conducting a transaction,” Xia Qin had stepped to the edge of the upper level. The reason why things were wrong wasn’t that the opponent was too strong, but… “…This opponent is a bit weak.” A large number of newly-revived metal monsters were annihilated upon contact with the third-tier Sword Saint. In Xia Qin’s understanding, this was far from normal. The two-person team hadn’t encountered any difficult obstacles on their way to the upper level’s spherical area. Yes, it was because a large number of these “mechanical beasts” had just been spawned and were not strong, but where was the “beast swarm” that a sixth-tier Beast Tamer would usually nurture? How strong a Gardener is can be seen from his magic plants and botanical garden; how strong a Beast Tamer is can naturally be seen from the beast swarm they cultivate on a daily basis. With someone of this rank, there should have been a sufficient number of mechanical beast armies, and even possibly one or two same-tier ultra-powerful beings, but they hadn’t seen any powerful ones at all. “Beep!” At this moment, the team’s communication device rang. As Xia Qin picked it up, suspecting that Lu Ping’an might need support, the other side gave her some explosive news. “Sister Xia, I’ve found the communication records left by that Fang someone here, revealing the identities of several cultists, in addition to the known ones, there are three more. They are: Dragon Yuhe, Wei Wu, and Long Qianlan, their identities and locations are as follows…” Xia Qin was instantly baffled; even if they had gains, they shouldn’t be this huge. These criminals left identity records? Did they want to make the situation bigger when they were caught? “Boom!” But while she was still hesitating, another earthquake shook the ground, and the two “giant beasts” once again wrestled together. In a certain sense, this kind of struggle between giant monsters relying on brute force was somewhat inelegant, but even more incomprehensible was the fact that the metal parrot seemed to be gradually taking the upper hand. It should be noted that Beast Tamers have a bunch of buffs and the ability to command magical beasts; in battles of equal strength, the “domesticated” ones usually win. Therefore, although this Rule-Level item is nominally “a 50% winning rate,” its user’s survival rate is below 50%, with the wisdom and fighting skills of the trapped person increasing the chances of survival… This item was often used in combination with other abilities. Originally, the previous captain had been prepared to sacrifice his life to buy time, to restrain the giant beast from further destruction, but had not expected to gradually gain the upper hand on this side. “…Captain, what should we do next?” Lu Ping’an’s question disrupted Xia Qin’s thoughts. She waved her long sword, producing a large amount of metal fragments again, making the rescued hostages tremble with fear but filled with joy. After the first batch of airborne soldiers had been almost entirely wiped out, they had fallen into despair, not expecting the Special Service Team to arrive so quickly. “Captain?” Lei Huoren also whispered to inquire about the next arrangement. When Xia Qin asked him to follow, he really did so quietly, even Lu Ping’an didn’t know how he managed it. The power of a third-tier pure Runner could be seen here. Xia Qin looked around, two other Special Service Teams successfully reached the top, but one team tried to behead the Central Administrative District and then undoubtedly lost contact. “Lei Huoren, you go out first and pass on this information…” Xia Qin made up her mind and accelerated the deployment. If there were no one here to guard them, all the hostages here would die regardless of who wins the monster battle outside. “…others, orderly escort the hostages to withdraw, any of you have the ability to take them underground?” The “Bird Cage” was for confining the giant beast only. Those huge beams and sky pillars were not supposed to stop ordinary people from escaping. “Hurry, hurry, hurry, those with the ability to fly or in spatial systems, if I’m not guessing wrong, we don’t have much time…” “Boom!” Another violent explosion caused the entire tower to shake crazily, the ground tilted directly, and several unlucky ones were accidentally thrown out, screaming and falling. But this time, Xia Qin keenly noticed that something was wrong. This explosion and its vibration source were not from the outside but from the lower part of the tower’s interior. It felt like… “…the Central Administrative District? That Beast Tamer?” At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Fang Wen. A middle-aged man with white eyebrows wearing a suit, looking sad, with a badge on his chest depicting a praying lady in the forest. “Why do you have to commit such a sin, why hurt the innocent? Don’t you even abide by the bottom line of humanity in your pursuit of the path to ascension?” ‘Rose’ Liu Zibei, a sixth-tier Tree Shepherd (Gardener’s path), and a bishop-level priest in the Holy Spring Rebirth Branch of the Lady of the Forest, questioned the evildoers righteously. “Hahaha! True to the form of a Mother Goddess cult fanatic. Choosing a metal body and giving up the path of life’s supreme blessing (gourmet), Old Liu, do you really think you can talk to them about morality and the bottom line of being human? I can’t help but laugh.” The laughing young man was wearing a single earring with a portable listening device attached, dressed in fashionable hiphop attire, looking like a sporty boy. But he is a sixth-tier “Chef” in the service of the King of Harvest and Gourmet, with a minimum of fifty years of activity. Surrounded by two sixth-tiers, Fang Wen just calmly turned a page of a book, took a sip of coffee, and then casually replied. “If you guys are so great, why don’t you go save people like those little special agents? Why come here to pretend to be good? If you guys are really good people, would you dare to swear by your ‘source’ that you only just arrived and didn’t watch the show outside for ten minutes?” The woman pushed up her glasses, and her calm words struck a chord. The two who just arrived, however, remained calm, seemingly unmoved. Fang Wen couldn’t help but smile; she shook her head. It seemed that she was naive; after reciting their lines and establishing their prestige, she actually believed them. But with a wicked idea, she smiled and spoke again. “Gourmet Church? Do you remember, back when our god was still here, you guys used to cooperate with us…” “Boom!” The huge explosion filled the entire conference room, the hostages inside instantly evaporated. She couldn’t be allowed to continue speaking! At the next moment, countless roots and tree trunks stretched out of the conference room windows, the reinforced glass became as fragile as crisp paper, and numerous tree trunks supported the tower’s exterior. “Buzz!” The two lurking metal War Beasts also suddenly appeared, confronting the two attacking bishops. At this moment, Lu Ping’an was searching the workshop below rapidly, taking away anything valuable.
