"Haha, boss, this is the 153rd Snake Gang Transcendent we've killed, right?"
Crassus said with a smug look on his face, walking behind Logo and keeping a distance of three or four hundred meters.
"Well, the test tubes I brought are basically all filled with Transcendent essence. It's time to head back." Logo smiled, his face hidden beneath the mecha. This battle in the hunting grounds, not to mention the reputation he would gain if his identity were exposed in the future.
The essence extracted from just over 150 Transcendent creatures' bodies alone is a substantial source of income.
It is worth at least 100,000 Ta Pound, more than enough to make up for ammunition losses.
The man and the tiger chatted as they walked.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying sense of danger gripped Logo's heart like a devil's hand, as if it were about to crush it.
"Not good!"
Logo instantly turned bloodshot, his adrenaline surged, every cell in his body screamed in agony, and his body reacted faster than ever before, dodging to the side without thinking.
At the same time, Crassus also sensed the threat coming from behind, but the feeling was not strong.
Crassus instantly realized that the opponent's target was Logo.
Without the slightest hesitation, Crassus activated the Thunder Tiger Mecha Engine to its limit, simultaneously unleashing his three combat talents: [Extreme Speed Gait - Flying Cloud], [Extreme Speed Gait - Thunderclap], and [Berserk]. The engine was overloaded to its limit, and thunder surged and roared inside and outside his body, emitting sounds like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers, even vibrating out of his body.
The next instant, Crassus's figure vanished abruptly, leaping directly into the air.
Because of its incredible speed, it left a lingering afterimage in the same spot.
Boom!!
Deafening sound waves swept across the sky.
Countless blue metal fragments and indigo bone debris, crackling with lightning, scattered across the ground.
Blood splattered across the sky.
When Logo looked back, Crassus was left with only half a mangled body, crashing heavily to the ground. Half of his head was gone, exposing the charred, blackened brain tissue. His only remaining eye was wide open, filled with a resolute and determined expression, but without a trace of regret...
In contrast, less than half a meter to Logo's left, there was a bottomless Black Hole, at the bottom of which was a warhead still spinning at high speed.
Above the sky, there was a scorching white wave that stretched across the heavens and lingered for a long time, as if the entire sky had been torn in two.
The scene that greeted Logo left him feeling cold and his mind blank.
He understood that if Crassus hadn't desperately used his body to block the bullet, thus deflecting its trajectory, he himself would have been the one whose body was shattered!
However, before Logo could react, Taoruisi's second bullet came flying.
"Heh, what a reliable partner, but how are you going to block this one?" Taoruisi chuckled.
Logo's eyesight was sharp enough to clearly see the violently spinning warhead and the layers of cyclones hundreds of meters in diameter.
There's no escaping it!
Logo figured it out instantly.
So he simply stood there, coldly watching the direction from which the bullets were coming.
In the pupil, the orange-yellow bullet magnified rapidly.
When they were about 200 meters away from Logo, a towering figure suddenly appeared and blocked Logo's path.
Melier!
"Unbreakable Barrier, Earth's Wrath!"
The moment Melier landed, she activated the core skills of the two Giant Mountain Mecha.
[Unbreakable Barrier] Active - A defensive ability formed by a three-star Rune Array. When activated, external armor strength +300%, all elemental resistance +30%, and immunity to all physical control effects below Tier Nine.
[Earth's Wrath] Active - When this ability is activated, the mech's performance will be overloaded, losing 1 point of durability per second, gaining 50% increased earth affinity, 150% increased overall defense, and immunity to armor-piercing, shockwave, and other special attack damage.
After activating the two active defensive skills, Melier, wearing the Giant Mountain Mecha, seemed to connect with the vast and boundless earth, exuding a sense of immensity, weight, and grandeur, as if nothing could shake her.
Thump!!
Like a nuclear explosion, the deafening sound waves swept out in three dimensions. The terrifying kinetic energy carried by the warhead was enough to penetrate a hill hundreds of meters high, yet it couldn't make Melier move an inch.
Melier patted the white spot on the center of her chest, scoffed, and looked up at Taoruisi, nine kilometers away, her eyes as cold as ice.
If it weren't for Logo's safety, he would definitely have chased after her and crushed her head!
Unfortunately, the Elemental Convergence Cannon's maximum range is only 3000 meters, otherwise...
"What's going on? Why does this guy have such a powerful bodyguard? And why does that mech look so familiar?" Taoruisi thought to herself, then suddenly her eyes widened in horror as she exclaimed, "It's Berserker Melier!"
During the previous conflict with the Snake Gang, in order to demonstrate the family's strength, Logo deliberately sent Melier out to show his face. Meryl almost twisted the head off a Peak Tier Eight Transcendent the Snake Gang. That Transcendent happened to be Taoruisi's friend. After returning, Doris complained to her with trepidation, saying that she had almost been traumatized by the beating.
"With Berserker Melier protecting him, doesn't that mean this Red Ghost is from the Campbell Family..." Taoruisi muttered to herself, feeling like she'd messed up this time and hit the wrong person.
After Melier's arrival, Logo knew that no one could harm him unless Legendary intervened.
In the distant sky, Taoruisi quietly retreated. She clearly understood this as well; faced with the bear's terrifying defense, she couldn't even break through it, let alone kill the Red Ghost.
Moreover, the identity of this Red Ghost is not as simple as it was speculated before the war began, and there may be more trouble to come.
As Taoruisi retreated, Logo quickly ran to Crassus's side, who was now only half a body and had almost completely lost his vital signs.
After observing for a moment with his Eye of Insight, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
"Fortunately, the emergency life support system activated in time, preserving a sliver of life. There's still hope!" Logo murmured.
"Young Master, the Elf Race Water of Life should be able to save Crassus," Melier whispered a reminder.
"It's too late." Logo picked up Crassus's half-body. "I have a plan. Forget everything else now. Take me and fly back to the family quickly!"
Melier paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.
Then Melier landed on all fours, Logo sat on his back, and with the surge of earth element, they merged into the earth and disappeared.
