Chapter 96 The Mech King Arrives
The wind blows sand and gravel, and the sun shines on the Gobi Desert.
On the desolate and barren sandy land, two police cars with flashing red warning lights sped by, their highly resilient tires screeching violently against the ground, leaving clear tracks.
The two police cars, one blue and one black, belonged to Fang Xiu and his junior apprentice, Xianfeng.
The two were out hunting in the wild, which meant causing trouble for those beast tribes. The main reason was that they were eager to get out of the way; given his personality, he simply couldn't stay still, and he would get moldy if he stayed in the Moon God Temple.
With the strength of the vanguard, they can handle most situations as long as they don't encounter a general of the beast tribe. Fang Xiu is going along to eliminate any potential threats. If they are going to take action, they can't leave any hidden dangers behind.
Two police cars, one black and one blue, sped past at over 200 miles per hour, almost becoming afterimages that were barely visible to the naked eye. The two men raced past, kicking up huge clouds of dust in the desert.
One moment they were a hundred meters away, the next they had crossed that vast distance.
At this speed, everything in sight becomes a blurry afterimage, the scenery rushes past, and the wind howls. If it were the Fang Xiu of the past, he would have been afraid to sit in such a car, but when he is the car itself, he only feels extremely exhilarated.
This isn't even their maximum speed. If they wanted, they could even double it, but the vanguard wouldn't be able to maintain that speed for long. Their current speed is relatively stable for Fang Xiu and the other person, and they could even run at this speed for a whole day.
The Beastmen have been making increasingly big moves lately. Too much time has passed since the last great war, and the Beastmen are eager to start another all-out war.
The location of the Moon Temple is considered remote in the entire Beastman World. In addition, the surrounding resources are scarce, so few beastmen come here. Occasionally, there are only a very small group of them, with no more than ten people, which is not even enough to fill the gaps in the Vanguard's teeth.
Therefore, if Fang Xiu and the Vanguard wanted to find soldiers of the Beast Clan to hunt in the wild, they usually had to travel hundreds of miles, sometimes even further, and of course, they could not always find any.
Fortunately, the two were lucky this time. On a barren wasteland ahead of them, a group of black panthers were moving forward.
Hundreds of black panthers escorted four uniquely designed mine carts.
Among the three war kings' forces, Wild Gorilla has the most miscellaneous soldiers, followed by Tiger King, while Tyrannosaurus God has the fewest, but in terms of quality, it's exactly the opposite.
Tyrannosaurus God has the fewest subordinates, but the highest individual combat strength, while Black Iron Beast is the opposite, the weakest individually, but skilled in large-scale legion battles.
The ore being transported by this Black Panther Beast unit is called Black Scorched Stone, a special type of ore that can be used to create shields for the Energy City's radar.
However, this type of ore is not found near Thunder Palace, which is why Tiger King sent people to such a distant place to mine it.
Furthermore, to maintain secrecy, only small groups of about a hundred people were dispatched.
If there are too many, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Tiger King knew this well, which is why he did this. In any case, the ones he sent were basically new recruits.
As long as the Primal Crystal remains, the value of new recruits is minimal. Success is the best outcome, but if they fail, the Black Panther Beasts that have experienced battle can transform into veterans at the fastest speed.
For the Tiger King, who had never experienced betrayal, ordinary black panthers were just things he could create at any time, and he didn't care if a few more died.
Buzzing!!
As the engines roared, a long column of thick smoke suddenly rose up at the edge of the black panther beasts' line of sight, accompanied by a wild, arrogant laugh.
"Hahaha! Here I come!"
Originally keeping pace with Fang Xiu, the vanguard suddenly accelerated, its speed increasing dramatically, leaving a trail of afterimages as it headed straight for a group of black panther beasts.
"Fire! Fire!"
The captain of the Black Panther Beasts at the front gave the order, and all the Black Panther Beasts transformed into their beast form, landing on all fours and revealing a repeating machine gun behind them.
The dark muzzle of the gun was aimed at the oncoming vanguard. The next second, a dazzling burst of light suddenly erupted, and countless orange flames roared like a meteor shower, crisscrossing the area.
The combined artillery barrage launched by hundreds of black panther beasts was powerful and imposing, creating a tight-knit firepower net that firmly sealed off the vanguard at the far end.
Faced with such dense firepower, the Vanguard remained calm and maneuvered the vehicle nimbly to perfectly evade the barrage of fire.
With the speed of the Vanguard, the Black Panthers missed their first attack and had no second chance, because the Vanguard had already reached them.
"Too slow! Too slow!"
The speeding vehicle leaped into the air, and the Vanguard changed form in mid-air, with two halberds gleaming coldly appearing in his hands.
"A thousand towering waves crash down from the azure sky!!"
Using the momentum from falling from a great height, Vanguard unleashed his ultimate attack, a powerful energy storm spreading out in a radial pattern, like surging waves that splashed up under the blazing sun.
--boom!
The vanguard, descending from the sky, landed amidst the encirclement of the black panther beasts. His twin halberds slammed down, piercing the body of the leading black panther beast. The powerful impact sent the surrounding black panther beasts flying before they could even react. Many landed on the ground, twitched a couple of times, and then fell still, while many more were severely injured or on the verge of death.
Faced with the Vanguard's attack, how could this group of level one black panther beasts be a match for them? Their only strength was their squad leader, who was level three, but even that was nothing more than a single blow to the Vanguard.
As Captain Black Panther fell, a crystalline blue energy streaked through the void and surged into Vanguard's body.
The twinkling rays of light entered my body, and a comfortable and pleasant feeling, like soaking in a hot spring, instantly filled every part of my body.
Although the combat energy provided by this black panther beast was a bit too little for the Vanguard, even a small mosquito is still meat, so there's no reason not to take it.
Thinking of this, Vanguard shook off the engine oil on his halberd and turned his gaze to the remaining black panther beasts.
Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, not a single one of the Black Panthers dared to make a move.
The Vanguard's terrifying attack had terrified them; they had never seen such a frightening creature before.
"Let's retreat—shall we retreat?"
The lead black panther trembled, glancing at its companion with its scarlet eyes.
"Retreat, retreat!" The other black panther beast had clearly already decided to retreat, and upon hearing this, it immediately followed the steps.
They didn't even care about their groaning companions on the ground; they just wanted to escape, but it was too late. Fang Xiu had already blocked their escape route.
"Hahaha! Senior brother, I've killed fifty! Looks like I've won this time!"
The ground was littered with the carcasses of black panthers. Vanguard flicked the oil off his halberd and walked over with a grin. Ever since he realized that he couldn't beat Fang Xiu in a head-on fight, Vanguard started to look for other ways to defeat Fang Xiu.
"Really? But I've also killed exactly fifty."
Fang Xiu also put away his twin halberds and smiled.
"This—I killed their captain. He was stronger, so I think we can count it as two, so I still won."
After hunting the Black Panther Beast, leaving behind a field of carcasses, Fang Xiu and Vanguard transformed into their car form, sped away, and returned to the Moon Temple.
They sped along without encountering any other problems until they were less than ten miles from the Temple of the Moon, when they were shocked to hear someone shouting for help.
"Senior brother, there seems to be trouble ahead."
"Let's go take a look."
Following the figure and sound, Fang Xiu and his group discovered a person?
"What's that?"
The vanguard spoke in an illiterate voice; he was only interested in fighting and knew nothing else.
Unlike the vanguard, Fang Xiu had read the Moon Goddess Temple's documents. Moreover, the other party's blue and white jacket, with the energy core symbol on the chest, looked so familiar.
Is that Lolo, the King of Mech Warriors?
