Eight Weirdness

Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly. After two or three seconds, Luo Yan returned to normal, though he was covered in sweat.

He calculated the time; it had been almost two months since Bai had removed the poison from his body.

But it seems that even if the Red Poison hasn't manifested yet, it's coming soon.

Luo Yan dared not be careless. He took out a bottle of "Special Grade Relief Agent" issued by the "Giant Beast Strategy Department" and gave himself an injection to prevent the Red Poison from flaring up during the battle.

evening.

Nine monstrous mech transport vehicles joined up with the ground armed legion, forming an incredibly long convoy that headed towards the ' Wild Horse Base '.

They stopped to rest and recuperate in the desolate wilderness as the sun set and night fell.

Luo Yan got out of the car and walked away. In the distance, he saw Dugu Changxin sitting on a rock, covering his mouth with a leaf and blowing out a monotonous but desolate sound.

On an open space not far away, Bai was sitting cross-legged, not looking like he was cultivating, but rather doing meditation exercises.

Perhaps sensing Luo Yan's gaze, she opened her eyes, which were not covered by an eye patch, and looked at Luo Yan.

"Classmate Luo."

Luo Yan nodded and sat down beside her. "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Bai's two ponytails swayed, she still couldn't quite control her muscles, and that strange smile appeared again, but she no longer covered it with her hands like before.

"Your 'strangeness'..." Luo Yan thought for a moment, then finally uttered only one sentence, "Very special."

Bai chuckled a few times, then counted on his fingers. "Hei Wu, Bai Tong, A Fang, the magician..."

"Lan Xiao, A Gu, Dan Niang, Headless General."

"A total of ' Eight Weirdness ' is the limit of what I can currently control."

"Moreover, it's incomplete control."

Luo Yan nodded. Of these names, he could only match them with a portion of the 'strange' ones.

Luo Yan had never seen Bai use ' A Gu ' or ' Dan Niang ', so he didn't know what specific abilities these two 'strange' creatures possessed.

He didn't press further, as it would be impolite to pry into someone's background, especially when that person was his companion and savior.

Luo Yan clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment.

Those who have shown kindness will be repaid with abundant gratitude.

Those who harbor resentment will seek Ya Zi even for the smallest offense.

Therefore, Luo Yan would not inquire or use the ' Eye of True Suchness ' to investigate the true nature and hidden cards of people like Di Zheng and Bai Zhe.

"The Primordial Stone Fragment can transform the Divine Treasure. Classmate Luo, have you used them?" Bai finished speaking, then gently covered his mouth with his hand, "I think I asked something I shouldn't have."

Luo Yan shook his head. "It's alright, I've already used it. The ' Qi Gazing Eyes ' has transformed into the ' Obstacle Breaking Dharma Eye '."

"Its abilities are: breaking through barriers, recognizing illusions, farsightedness, Strong Memory, and observing qi."

Bai's pupils dilated slightly, then his gaze drifted to the hem of his clothes. "Thank you, Classmate Luo."

Thank you for trusting me so much.

Luo Yan said in a serious tone, "Didn't you also tell me the names of all the 'weird' things?"

Bai raised his head and quickly said, "But you don't know their abilities. Let me tell you, Hei Wu can help me find the target I'm looking for. If it envelops me, it can make me invisible without revealing any aura."

"Bai Tong looks like Paper Figure burned for ancestors. It can take the hits for me and instantly teleport me to a safe place."

"The A Fang is a house that can house me, protect me, and attack enemies, just like a tank or a war chariot."

After chatting with Bai for a while, Luo Yan returned to his transport vehicle, closed the door, and began practicing Visualization Technique.

Two days later, the convoy arrived at an abandoned city nearly 100 kilometers from the ' Wild Horse Base ', using the city as cover to prepare for the attack on the base.

After Captains Yan Wenbo and Hao Dexu met with the commander of the armed corps, they conveyed the latest situation to Luo Yan and other team members.

The armed corps has rescued the hostages and is now joining the main force. Once the hostages are safely returned, the final assault will begin.

As the armed legion anticipated, the general offensive would begin in an hour, so Luo Yan and the others entered the cockpits of their respective mechs to prepare for battle.

Sitting in the cockpit of the ' White Dragon ', Luo Yan observed his surroundings through the panoramic window.

On the command console, a window was open, showing several SUV escorting a bus along the highway.

The bus was carrying the Guangling Survey Team, who had previously gone to the base. The team was detained and held hostage after arriving at the Wild Horse Base, and they were only rescued now.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Just then...

On the screen at the command post, the convoy traveling on the highway was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

Before I could figure out what was happening, the image in the window suddenly disappeared.

Luo Yan frowned slightly.

This was clearly caused by the destruction of a drone that was tracking and filming from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, on the communications channel, a communications soldier from the armed corps was shouting, "Red Star, Red Star, what's wrong with you?"

"We are under attack."

Electronic noise and a man's roar filled the channel.

Soon, new images appeared on the command console, which could be seen to have been filmed from an SUV acting as a guard.

In the constantly shaky camera footage, a mecha descends from the sky, with wings resembling those of an airplane on its back, and flames are shooting out from behind it.

Luo Yan recalled the mecha data from the ' Wild Horse Base ' and immediately matched it with a mecha called 'Vulture'.

This older model mech was fitted with wings and jets by engineers at the Wild Horse Base, enabling it to perform short-range flights.

Its arms were equipped with eagle-claw-like components. The mech that landed on the ground used one of its eagle claws to grab the bus and then threw it away with a whoosh.

The bus was sent flying hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground, its body shattering into pieces. The people inside were flung into the air like fleas before falling back to the ground.

Luo Yan closed his eyes slightly.

The hostage is dead.

The remaining escort vehicles attacked the mechs desperately, but to no avail, as they were wiped out by the 'Vulture' in no time.

There was a moment of silence on the communication channel.

A moment later, the commander of the armed corps roared, "All troops, attack!"

"All troops, attack!"

Luo Yan quickly switched the communication to the team channel, and heard Yan Wenbo say, "We'll proceed according to the original plan, but that 'Vulture' needs to be dealt with first."

"Luo Yan, go and kill it!"

Luo Yan hummed in agreement and looked out the panoramic window, seeing a black dot rising above the city skyline.

Vultures!

Immediately, the ' White Dragon ' started running, and after running a few steps, the eight main and secondary thrusters on the back of the mech activated one by one.

Boom!

Eight Blue Flames of varying lengths and thicknesses spewed from the back of the ' White Dragon,' generating tremendous propulsion that sent the mech soaring into the sky in pursuit of the 'Vulture' in the distance!
