The Family Trade

"... Damn it!"

The pursuers witnessed Kang De driving his car down the cliff.

Then they heard a loud splash.

Below is a mighty river.

Startled, the group quickly reached the edge of the cliff. The bright moonlight shone on the river, reflecting a silvery glow. The violent splashes and ripples had not yet subsided, but the river was wide and deep, and the water below was pitch black.

"He won't drown!"

The leading mage shouted, "He will definitely use this opportunity to escape!"

The sorcerer raised his staff, and a magical light shone from its tip. Beams of light shot into the air and were thrown in all directions, radiating a bright glow that illuminated the darkness of the surrounding fields.

Those orbs of light slowly descended from the sky, like lanterns suspended in the void, illuminating the river surface and its banks with crystal clarity, as if it were daytime.

"Mage Aoweili! Mage of Nuosende!"

He ordered, "Each of you select five warriors and several soldiers to proceed upstream and downstream respectively, using frost magic to build ice dams and coordinating with water-sensing magic to search for that Cathayan!"

"The river is murky and the currents are swift; even if he wanted to run, he couldn't get very far!"

Just then, a knight shouted, "Mage Lisake! Look!"

The group looked in the direction the knight pointed and saw a light shining from the depths of the river below. Immediately, a large number of bubbles rose to the surface, and the water began to surge violently.

The warriors stood ready, and the spellcasters' staffs flashed with beams of destruction, but what happened next shocked them and left them momentarily stunned.

The clanging of metal against metal resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A knight murmured, "... Gods."

They watched as the steel giant rose from the water, the broken water flowing down its cold, metallic armor. Under the moonlight, pure mechanical beauty stretched out unrestrained, countless metal parts folding, reassembling, meshing, splicing, transmitting, and flipping, growing from small to large. Each change contained infinite beauty, cold, precise, and efficient. The humming sound of metal was like a beautiful melody.

Humans from another world witnessed all of this.

Their minds went blank. They had never seen anything like it before. All they knew was that compared to what they were seeing, the mechanical skills that the dwarves and imperial craftsmen were so proud of were nothing but scrap metal.

They watched all this as the steel giant stretched out its body, arms, hips, and thighs, gradually approaching human form amidst the rumbling, vibrating sounds of deformation.

The head emerged from the body, its neck flailing as tiny, delicate plates of armor extended and fit together. Then the giant opened its eyes, which shone with a brilliant, intense purple light.

Finally, it devoutly and carefully clasped its hands together, pulling the person out of its body, retrieving the seat, and completing the final transformation on its chest. The remaining water droplets slid down from its powerful arms, and the steel giant standing in the water lifted the human in its hands high, keeping the other away from the cold river.

Moonlight shone on it, reflecting the gleam of steel.

This scene was like an epic painting.

The throne of steel, machinery, and power is supporting its master, its creator, its king.

Kang De stared at the face so close to his.

He could feel a connection between himself and the other person that came from their souls.

Then, he heard the other person's words. The steel giant lowered his eyes and head, avoiding his gaze. The other person spoke Chinese, his voice steady and calm, yet full of power.

"Father, I was born because of you."

Kang De took two deep breaths to calm himself down.

It was a success.

He thought to himself.

Excitement, exhilaration, and disbelief.

This is obviously a Transformer, right? It really is this one!

When I was experimenting with the White Mist Enchantment rules before, I also thought of this point. After all, it's a childhood memory and a man's romance. Which man doesn't like all kinds of cars? When your car can transform into a super cool and powerful robot, the two romances combined are of course even more romantic!

But all the tests failed; the cars injected with the White Mist all crumbled to dust.

But now, it's a success.

As a materialistic non-European, he doesn't believe in luck or metaphysics. He believes that everything has its own rules, and low-probability success must have its own inherent reasons. This successful enchantment of the White Mist is definitely not just a matter of probability.

However, now is not the time to consider this issue.

Kang De immediately cleared away any unnecessary emotions.

His experiences in this other world over the past year have tempered him, making him increasingly calm and decisive in crucial moments.

Kang De's gaze swept over the steel giant before him, noticing the justice symbol on his left arm and the various parts of his body that proclaimed "I'm a formidable fighter."

Then he turned to look at the cliff face.

The native inhabitants of the other world were still in shock and disbelief at what had just happened.

Kang De immediately shouted, "Kill them all!"

The Autobots immediately looked up, its eyes blazing with purple light, and with a resounding clang, its armor snapped shut.

The monk Lisake was the first to react.

Although the scene he witnessed was truly awe-inspiring, and the mechanical principles embodied in the giant moved even this mysterious explorer to awe, the fact that the human being the giant was carrying was the same Cathayan they had been hunting earlier... well, that was a different story.

He saw the Cathayan looking at him.

Even a child could guess what would happen next.

The monk shouted, "Attack!"

The staff shimmered with magical light, and icy blue flowers bloomed. The opponent was in the river, and attacking with frost and lightning spells should be very effective—but just as this thought arose, he saw the steel giant raise his right hand.

A flash of fire, a sharp screech—six rockets, trailing long plumes of flame, hurtled towards us!

Amidst the explosions, the earth shook, cliffs cracked and rocks crashed down, billowing up clouds of smoke and dust. In the chaotic firelight, the robot had already calculated its position and angle.

The Kang De Confidence Blast, which hadn't yet had a chance to be used, was upgraded with an enchantment and a gas canister-like explosive. It rose from behind, rested on the launch pad on the Autobots's shoulder, and was then launched with a bang, as if death had fallen from the sky. Flames erupted, air blasts flew, and countless fragments and steel balls scattered in all directions, accompanied by endless screams!

The Autobots shrugged, reached out and grabbed a massive Tomahawk, twirling it twice. From the way he held it to his demeanor, it was clear he was influenced by Kang De.

The Tomahawk blade gleamed with electricity, the handle had an accelerator lever, and the back of the axe was equipped with two dangerous jet nozzles, making it look extremely dangerous. The Autobots held the axe in his hand, leaped into the air, and with a burst of water, slashed down towards the cliff!

Like a meteor impact, the Tomahawk slashed down, and a violent shockwave spread out!

The most elite group of pursuers had gathered on the cliff. They had just been bombarded by heavy firepower. Several who were hit directly were instantly killed, and the rest were injured to varying degrees. Before they could regroup, the terrifying steel giant was already charging in with his axe!

"It's here!"

The mage Lisake conjured a magical shield, protecting himself.

He heard a fierce wind howl, gathered lava in his staff, and unleashed a magical strike at the attacker. But the next moment, the mechanical giant broke through the mist, cleaved through the flames, and swung his axe down at him!

The Tomahawk was blocked by the magic shield, but the heavy attack still pressured the mage's mental strength, causing his vision to go black and his head to throb. Before Lisake could retaliate, he was stomped on by the Autobots. The tough magic shield blocked the heavy stomp, but this was only temporary!

The Autobots emitted a low rumble, its power system hummed, and the hydraulic system in its right foot amplified its output. Flames shot out from the nozzles on the sole of its foot. The next moment, Lisake's magic shield shattered, and he was trampled under the Autobots. Before he could even let out a desperate scream, his body was crushed!

The Autobots's right foot even twitched left and right, as if crushing an insect.

It gripped its Tomahawk in its right hand, started its engine, and unleashed a powerful sweeping attack, clashing head-on with the knight charging in grief and rage. Even Dou Qi has its limits; it couldn't withstand the overwhelming force. Its sword shattered, its arms were crushed, and its sternum was broken. The brave warrior screamed as it flew out, only to be torn to shreds by the shock cannon in its left hand.

"Hostile attackers, I will kill you all. Think of your last words."

However, it spoke Chinese, and the imperial people present could not understand its language.

But that doesn't prevent them from understanding the meaning of that sentence.

The soldiers rallied their Dou Qi and launched a simultaneous attack on the powerful enemy. They charged head-on, leaped into the air, rolled and slid, or fired arrows to distract the enemy, attacking from all directions in a coordinated manner.

The Autobots swung their guns and axes, sparks flying, bullets streaking through the air, fiercely meeting the attack.

Despite its large size, it is agile and will never allow itself to be surrounded. Once it senses danger, it will immediately dodge and retreat, or even transform back into Humvee and roar as it charges to break through the encirclement. Even in car mode, it can extend guns and cannons from various parts of its body, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

As the battle raged on, the mage Aoweili waved his wand, summoning ice spikes and electric balls, unleashing his fear and rage upon the Autobots. The Autobots rolled and dodged, transforming back into Humvee, nimbly weaving and dodging, sending several riders flying before rolling and transforming again, extending guns of various calibers from their hands and firing simultaneously. The dense barrage of bullets quickly tore through the magic shield, riddling the spellcaster with holes.

The other mage was terrified and lost the courage to attack. He immediately took to the air, preparing to flee, but the next moment, a fire axe, gleaming with three layers of enchantment, flew through the air and struck the mage in the back, piercing through his chest and knocking him to the ground, where he fell into a cloud of dust.

Kang De approached him, raising his gun. "You seem to have forgotten me?"

He pulled the trigger, then drew his Tomahawk. Taking advantage of the fact that the Autobots had drawn most of his attention, he began the Kang Family's ancestral craft with a serene gaze and light steps.
