Strength (3)

Bang bang bang bang...

Loud noises occasionally emanated from the seabed, but they would stop after a short while.

Half an hour later, the robots took to the air and landed on the ship.

Fanxin glanced at it and said with a smile, "It seems that robots are quite adept at underwater combat."

For the average person, moving freely underwater would be quite difficult. But for him, it's no problem, because he can survive underwater.

Robots, however, are not subject to such restrictions, just like him. They can move freely on the seabed, doing whatever they want, completely free.

"That's right, but their energy is limited. If their energy were unlimited, they could fight for a long time," the Little Black Cat said proudly.

"You should be content," Fanxin said with a smile.

The Little Black Cat already has so many treasures, that's wonderful. It could want even more, but that's impossible. Because heaven is fair; it can't give you everything good.

"That's true." The Little Black Cat nodded and said, "Boss, we've wiped out so many seeds of the Neo Marines. Those guys definitely won't let this go. How should we deal with them?"

Those Neo Marines, though called marines, are really no different from pirates. They took down so many of their opponents; those guys are probably going berserk.

"Hehe, let them come, we'll take them." Fanxin said calmly upon hearing this.

He wasn't afraid of retaliation. He'd seen all kinds of people; since that was the case, he didn't need to pay any attention to those guys.

He'll meet force with force and water with earth; if they come, he'll take action.

"Hehe, you're right," the Little Black Cat said. "Hopefully, next time it won't be some small fry. I don't find small fry interesting to fight."

"Hehe, the next one definitely won't be any small fry, because they know that small fry are of no use to us anymore," Fanxin said.

Having learned their lesson this time, those guys will definitely be more cautious. He believes that the next Neo Marines to send will be composed of top-tier experts.

"That's good." The Little Black Cat nodded and said.

"Alright, let's go! It's boring staying here," Fanxin said.

After saying that, everyone got to work and headed off into the distance.

"Damn it, we failed. We've suffered heavy losses this time." Just as Fanxin and the others were leaving, a submarine suddenly surfaced from the depths of the sea and floated on the surface.

They were the submarines that hadn't launched an attack earlier, because they were the commanders. As commanders, they naturally couldn't risk their lives.

However, although they did not risk their lives, they still suffered heavy losses.

"Yes, those guys are tough to deal with. When we get back this time, we must bring back even stronger troops, otherwise, we'll definitely suffer a great loss," said a man wearing a red cloak.

He also saw that they had suffered heavy losses, while Fanxin's side was completely unharmed.

"Yes, that's certainly true," another person wearing a green cloak and sunglasses shouted.

"Let's go, we're going back now," said the man in the red cloak.

"Should we go and rescue those guys who are sealed in ice?" the man wearing sunglasses asked.

Although those guys were sealed in ice, they didn't die immediately. If they act now, they can still be saved.

If they just leave like that, they'll definitely die without a burial place.

"They died in the line of duty, let it go," the man in the red cloak said after a moment of contemplation.

Using a submarine as a torpedo to attack Fanxin and his group's ship was tantamount to suicide. Since those guys were prepared to die, he didn't need to interfere.

Perhaps some people are still alive, but rescuing them will not be an easy task.

"This..." The man wearing sunglasses hesitated upon hearing this, because he felt that if they took action to rescue them, they could minimize their losses. The fact that his companion was so ruthless made him uneasy.

"Don't hesitate any longer. Those ice blocks aren't something we can destroy easily. It's no easy task for just the few of us to handle everything."

The man in the red cloak said, "By the time we remove the ice, those people will have suffocated. So there's no use in us worrying; we can only give up."

Those ice blocks were powerful; Bingfeng a large area instantly, and it was all underwater. As a result, the pressure on them to clear it became increasingly greater.

The cleanup process takes time, but those waiting inside the submarine don't have that much time. Oxygen is limited inside the submarine, so they can't wait that long.

Their anxiety was futile. So, they could only choose to ignore it.

"I see, that's how it is," said the man wearing sunglasses.

"Yes! Let's go, let's leave now," said the man in the red cloak.

Without further hesitation, the two immediately boarded a boat and left.

As for those ships sealed at the bottom of the sea, they remain there forever, becoming a unique feature of the underwater landscape.

"Boss, news has come from behind us. There are still a few submarines that haven't launched an attack; they're hiding nearby and have witnessed the entire battle," the Little Black Cat said.

"Hmph, let them be. They're just Joker," Fanxin said upon hearing this.

He wasn't afraid of a large group of people anymore, so a few were nothing to him. The only thing was that they had hidden themselves earlier; otherwise, he would have definitely wiped them out.

"That's true. However, now that they've seen all this, trouble is likely to follow. We must be careful," the Little Black Cat said.

The Neo Marines has suffered a great loss and will certainly not let this go easily. If there are no survivors, the Neo Marines might investigate further, which would take longer.

However, now that people at the scene have witnessed all of this, they know the origin of the dragon vein.

In this way, they wouldn't need to investigate at all to know who the murderer was.

"Yes, that's true. You need to be more vigilant." Fanxin Xin nodded in agreement.

They definitely need to pay attention. They might not be afraid if those guys charged at them openly. However, that only applies if the other side attacks openly. If the other side attacks covertly, then they need to be cautious.

Those guys, once they get close, can cause them harm; they should not be underestimated.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely handle this well," the Little Black Cat nodded and said.

"Well, since that's the case, I won't interfere any further. I'll leave everything to you." With that, Fanxin continued drinking and chatting with Ren Fang.

The ship continued its journey without any further hindrance.

Three days later, they arrived at a place called Ice Flame Island, where the climate was very strange, fluctuating between hot and cold.

People with poor health are prone to getting sick here because the temperature changes so frequently that it's hard for them to react quickly.

If you don't put on more clothes immediately when it's cold, you'll get chilled and eventually catch a cold. If you don't remove more clothes when it's cold, you'll develop a high fever.

In short, the people living here are generally in good health. This is the guarantee that they can live here.

Upon arriving near the island, Fanxin surveyed the area and said, "You should all put on your armor. Make sure the armor can freely adjust its temperature, just in case something goes wrong, understand?"

The temperature changes so quickly here that it's a real hassle if you can't adjust your clothing accordingly.

"Understood!" everyone shouted.

"Very good, let's dock the ship here and go to the island to buy food," Fanxin said.

After saying that, he took the lead and went ashore.

Ren Fang and the others followed. They were all wearing armor that could regulate temperature. In this way, no matter how the weather outside changed, they didn't need to worry about anything.

The Little Fox didn't leave; it stayed on the ship to guard it. The rest of the people followed Fanxin to the island.

As we walked along, the ground was constantly changing, sometimes it was cold ice, sometimes it was hot ground.

Fortunately, everyone was wearing armor; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to withstand all of this.

"Fanxin, is anyone here?" Ren Fang asked.

The environment here is so harsh that even they are finding it difficult to endure. If they weren't wearing armor, things would be quite troublesome.

"There should be some, but never mind, let's go up and check first. If there really aren't any, then we'll just eat fish," Fanxin said.

They came here in search of food. Of course, they weren't without food; there were plenty of fish on board. However, eating fish all the time wasn't good. So, he planned to go to the island to buy some other things.

However, if no one can survive here, he will have to find another way.

"Alright! Let's do it that way then." Ren Fang nodded and said.

"Okay, tell the people behind you to be careful and not to let their guard down, in case something happens," Fanxin said.

The climate here is so harsh; the people who live here must be extraordinary. Having lived here year-round, they must know how to cope with such severe weather.

In such severe weather, they have an absolute advantage. If their side is careless, they will definitely suffer losses.

They must be extremely cautious; only in this way can they avoid any trouble.

"Understood," Ren Fang replied, bowing her head.

Without further hesitation, he immediately took action.

Fanxin continued to lead the way.

After walking for an hour, the ground suddenly started to shake, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Yes, you all need to be careful behind you," Fanxin reminded them. These tremors came too suddenly; they had to be cautious, or something bad might really happen.

"Yes." Everyone answered with utmost seriousness and focus.

Meanwhile, Fanxin moved forward step by step, exploring ahead to find out the cause of the tremor.

However, after careful observation, he found nothing unusual; it seemed to be a natural phenomenon.

"Is there something?" Ren Fang walked over and asked.

"No, yet it's very similar," Fanxin said.

"Oh, so is it or isn't it?" Ren Fang asked, confused.

"I don't know," Fanxin shook her head and said.

However, despite saying this, his expression was very solemn, clearly indicating that he had a bad feeling.

"Then I'll warn everyone to be careful," Ren Fang said.

"Yes, tell them to be ready at any time. If anything seems amiss, take off immediately and get into the sky," Fanxin said.

He could protect himself, but he couldn't protect so many soldiers. So, he could only let those soldiers protect themselves.

"Understood." Ren Fang nodded and immediately relayed the order.

Fanxin looked up and shouted, "Stop playing tricks! If you want to attack us, come out now. We don't kill nameless nobodies."

He called out three times, but received no response. Although frustrated, he had no Fanxin but to accept it.

Without further ado, he led everyone forward.

However, he was prepared for battle. He would immediately strike and attack these guys if he sensed anything amiss.

After walking for a few minutes, suddenly many sharp spikes appeared on the ground. Those spikes were extremely sharp, and if you guessed them correctly, you would definitely suffer a great loss.

Fanxin glanced at it, and his face immediately darkened. Those bastards hiding in the shadows were deliberately targeting them.

"Damn it, this is practically suicide!" Fan Fanxin was furious and immediately launched an attack on the ground. No matter what was beneath the surface, he wouldn't tolerate being toyed with like this.

"Wang Yan, begin melting this place. The rest of you, fly into the air and wait there," Fanxin said coldly.

"Yes, we understand." After saying that, Wang Yan nodded and immediately stepped forward to Fanxin's side.

Meanwhile, everyone took off and ascended into the air.

Wang Yan arrived beside Fanxin and immediately activated his magma power, injecting it into the ground.

Soon after, the ground began to melt, and after a short while, it became a land of lava.

Fanxin Xin watched intently, trying to detect if there were any living beings here. However, he failed; he didn't sense anything.

"Damn it, what is it?" Fanxin shouted in annoyance.

"I'll go down and check," Wang Yan said.

"Okay, but you must be careful, this place is very strange," Fanxin said. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it, this place was indeed very odd.

"Understood." Wang Yan nodded, then without further hesitation, she jumped into the lava and disappeared.

Once inside the lava, she immediately descended deep underground with its help.

Unable to enter with Fanxin, he could only wait here with everyone.

Those brothers in the air had no choice but to stay there and wait patiently.
