MTLNOVEL Chapter 366 Counterattack... Moment!
Lu Yuan and the hundred-plus members of the Treasure Hunting Team, borne by the Sky Fortress, flew farther and farther away.
The Sky Fortress had been trained quite well over the years, with a massive weight of 100,000 tons, truly living up to its nickname of "Sky Carrier", resembling the famously formidable Kirov Airship. Because it had consumed too many Fire Attribute Ores, it even evolved the ability to breathe flames from its rear, allowing it to fly slightly faster for short bursts.
"Ready to rocket? Boom!" it howled.
("Should I fire up the jets?")
"Don't fire them up, just fly normally and maintain invisibility," Lu Yuan hastily said, "Right now, Sky City is buying us time,"
"and the gates of the National Treasury are very hefty, all Engravings, those Mermen will probably have a hard time prying them open. We can't afford to be hasty at this moment!"
Members of the Treasure Hunting Team were somewhat restless, each eager to enter the battlefield.
Lu Yuan spoke seriously: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Of course, to fight, to annihilate this Race!" A group of young soldiers, rubbing their hands together eagerly, patted the Source Fire Cannon with force.
Lu Yuan scoffed: "What does fighting have to do with you, even if a million pigs lined up for you to kill, one person would have to kill ten thousand each!"
"What you need to do is to use your scouting abilities to find the clues to that Relic!"
"We're aiming straight for the heart, there's no need to entangle ourselves too much with these Mermen."
The Reconnoitre soldiers nodded seriously, then their faces fell into worry again.
Indeed, it was a daunting task. The High-level Relics were most likely hidden deep under the sea; neither Treasure Eye nor any other Ability could possibly penetrate thousands of meters of water!
Otherwise, Humans would have already found these Relics!
"I do have an idea; the mastermind behind this, in order to control so many creatures, must have some method," a young soldier said loudly.
"Whether it's radio waves or some Mind Law, there must be a signal transmission. If we find this signal source, we can find the Relic."
Another person shook their head: "But if it's an ability like telepathy, we really can't find the signal source..."
"Then we can only bet that it's not telepathy."
Lu Yuan listened to their discussion and coughed a few times: "I have an idea, if there are any survivors from this civilization, and we make a big fuss, won't they come out to lead the way? Just like with the Mandala Empire survivors, when we and the Painted skin broke out into fierce war, they appeared. At that time, you guys look out for any survivors, we'll have the survivors lead the way."
"No, not likely." Lu Ying shook her head without hesitation, "Great Commander, the Mandala Empire is a Second Generation Civilization... and their Great Grandmasters are Level 6 Experts."
"The South Island Civilization is a native civilization, training up to Level Two Torch Power in total ignorance is already good. As soon as they contacted that High-level Relic, a mechanical disaster erupted, and a Level Two Expert would find it hard to escape such a micro-robots disaster."
People had tried before, Torch Power at the Level Two was hardly enough to destroy those Ant Robots.
That is, once the robots entered the body, it meant certain death, immediately taking control over the brain!
However, a Level Three Torch Power is different, a Level Three Expert, while conscious, can use Torch Power to directly destroy those robots.
So, this really is a battle between Materialism and Mind.
With sufficient strength, one can fearlessly face micro-robots. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
Lu Yuan exhaled softly: "So you reckon they're all gone... Sigh, we'll have to look on our own then."
"In short, finding the Relic is key. You don't need to join the battles, find the Relic, and I'll dive into the sea with Big Golden, and cut down that fiend."
The Little Mirage Dragon nimbly jumped onto a heavy Source Fire Cannon, triggering the "Mirage Space", creating a small bubble that enveloped the Source Fire Cannon and one soldier.
This type of heavy weapons, protected by Space Ability, was formidable indeed!
And so, the Sky Fortress took more than two hours to cross five hundred kilometers, arriving at the coral reefs above the South Island Civilization.
There were numerous military ships anchored here, clusters of Mermen were transferring supplies onto the ships like ants.
Lu Yuan's forehead vein throbbed, cursing internally, well, the other side was also buying time, they were transporting a huge number of troops towards the Human's Sky City!
"Don't act rashly, protect the safety of the Sky Fortress! Make keen observations, and quickly search for High-level Relics and any survivors."
"Understood!"
The Sky Fortress slowly descended when the Mermen noticed something strange, lifting their heads, looking towards the direction of the sky.
Even if the Sky Fortress had optical invisibility, creatures with sharp senses could still detect slight irregularities.
Lu Yuan couldn't care much and roared: "Crash-land!"
The Leviathan combat Insect emerged, "Beep" it shouted as it leaped from the cabin first!
Shooting flames from its tail like a rocket, it landed on the ground with an inconceivable stance, lifting up its huge and Sharp pincers, snapping at the group of Mermen soldiers!
In that instant, the Mermen soldiers fell into disarray. With a fierce pull of the giant claws, a dozen Mermen were instantly crushed into pulp!
The Leviathan couldn't wait to stuff the flesh and blood into its mouth.
Following that, the cannon fire roared, a barrage of cannonballs rained down upon the Leviathan, setting off Mushroom cloud explosions one after another.
