Boom! Boom!
Amidst the raging storm, two dark black wave tornadoes once again ford above the sea, like two massive steel trains, charging fiercely toward the towering black steam cha.
However, at the joints of the cha, gears continuously turned, suddenly spewing scorching flas. With a sudden burst of speed, it charged forward like an unstoppable giant, smashing those two enormous black tornadoes apart with brute force.
The insignificant black wave tornadoes were utterly powerless to block the steps of this giant.
Boom! Boom!
The steam cha, blazing with fierce flas, stepped forward wave after wave, charging toward the Viper Father.
“General-class cha—”
Chen Qi’s pupils involuntarily constricted again and again as he recalled the terror of being dominated by steam chas.
This was the first ti since arriving in this world that he had seen a hamr affinity symbol—the cha.
The six major territorial blocks each controlled different affinities, so their specialties were distinctly separated.
The Black Blood Empire controlled Blade and Dice affinities and was engaged in constant warfare. Beneath the Black Blood Empire lay a forbidden super-A class Blade-Dice affinity dinsional rift dungeon. Due to its Dice affinity attributes, the dungeon changed drastically every mont and constantly refreshed itself.
As a result, ninety percent of Black Blood Empire players were dungeon players, all seeking the power of flesh and qi force, mastering nurous powerful Blade affinity divine techniques.
The Goldenfinch Kingdom controlled Flower and Heart affinities. Beyond their reputation for being playful with flowers, they emphasized natural harmony and beast battles. In the Goldenfinch Kingdom, people preferred one-on-one pet beast duels over real combat between humans.
Additionally, the Goldenfinch Kingdom’s tourism industry was highly developed, so most players were masters of pet beast training.
The White Tower Federation was academy-oriented, closely binding transcendents’ cultivation resources to exam scores and competition results. Therefore, promotion in the White Tower Federation often required countless exams and competitions.
The Winter Kingdom believed in Ice affinity, valuing hardship and ideals. Its territory was barren, covered in endless snow and ice, with constant disasters.
Its calamities were so brutal that across the vast land, the entire kingdom had only three cities.
Being born in the Winter Kingdom ant opening a tense and thrilling famine survival ga.
Beiguo, however, was the Land of Shells and the Land of Hamrs!
Although Beiguo advocated diversity and encouraged balanced developnt across professions, there was no doubt that chas were the pinnacle of Beiguo’s hamr affinity!
These were the exclusive war machines of the Beiguo military and the monsters deciding victories in the war against the Black Blood Empire!
Within Beiguo’s inland territories, although saint-level transcendents rarely acted, saint-level or even higher chas were the strength guarantee for Beiguo’s borderlines!
However, chas were extrely costly, relying on nurous companies, and their maintenance required expensive cha repair stations.
Moreover, Beiguo’s land had spawned many unruly dinsional rifts and the resurgence of chanized hands, so reinforcents to the Witch Sea were limited.
More importantly, most chas lacked water combat capabilities and were prone to attracting sea beast attacks.
Therefore, although the Witch Sea belonged to Beiguo’s territory, it wasn’t until after the Smiling Moon event that the terrifying war machines—chas—officially appeared frequently in the Witch Sea.
“How nostalgic...”
Chen Qi’s heart pounded. Sailing on the sea, encountering Beiguo’s steam chas was inevitable sooner or later.
“Everyone, be careful—”
Chen Qi commanded amid the storm, releasing the helm and turning around to look.
The steam cha at the edge of his vision stood fifteen ters tall. Its body was black tal, forged from heavy black steel alloy and dragon black rock, with joints fused with complex gears and piston devices. Thick black tal armor covered it, making the entire cha appear like it was wearing a general’s battle armor.
On its chest was a massive energy boiler. Inside, flas blazed fiercely like molten lava flowing hot and wild. This imnse energy, like a dragon’s breath, surged through the entire body, making the cold black rock cha display volcanic lava-like patterns, granting it the strength and speed comparable to a mighty dragon.
On its back were translucent, chanical-style red wings. Its legs were densely covered with runes and the sa red wings. These inconspicuous small wings were called Hers Wings, enabling the cha to run freely across the sea with terrifying power.
“The first ti I see one, and it’s a general-class cha—”
Chen Qi said again.
In Beiguo, chas were divided into soldier-class, warrior-class, general-class, and even stronger saint-class and kingdom-class.
Soldier-class chas were usually mass-produced, but even the weakest soldier-class chas had the strength to fight against ordinary third-tier transcendents.
Warrior-class chas used at least 80% B-tier dinsional rift creations and could fight third-tier transcendents who had complete skill systems and mastery of Release.
General-class chas were born from legendary fourth-tier professional cha pilots, possessing the strength and speed of legendary powerhouses! On the battlefield, they could already combat newly promoted fourth-tier legends in the Witch Sea, embodying raw power!
Ordinary third-tier transcendents were utterly powerless before general-class chas, as fragile as rats on the ground.
At this mont, the glasses-wearing hunter Aelor said in a daze:
“The general-class cha that Bonfire Energy Company boasts of—the Black Rock Giant! Powered by Bonfire Energy, its greatest feature is an extrely enduring and efficient energy source that supports long-term combat.”
“General-class, general-class...”
Aelor bit his teeth.
His tone grew darker as he continued:
“Captain lanie, can we really win?”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by the roar of the Black Rock cha’s engine, it drew closer and closer to the Viper Father.
Everyone could still hear that roaring echoing in their hearts!
At this speed, in thirty seconds, their Viper Father would enter the attack range of the Black Rock cha!
Aelor shouted loudly one last ti:
“Captain, do we fight or surrender?”
“I...”
Soaked by the storm, lanie was especially disheveled and couldn’t make a decision for a mont.
Before them stood a general-class cha. Even if, relying on the Viper Father’s cannons and the combined efforts of their five third-tier transcendents, they barely managed to defeat the Black Rock cha...
But the third-tier transcendents on the Bonfire would never let them off!
Once they fought, their chance of survival was less than 1%!
This was a battle they were destined to lose!
However, if they didn’t fight, would the Bonfire Energy Company really spare them without squeezing every drop of their blood?
In the Witch Sea, losers on the sea were not even worthy of a tombstone.
lanie’s heart accelerated. As the captain of the White Tower hunters, she made a decision in that brief mont.
She took a deep breath, activated her skills, and her gaze pierced through the cha, reaching the Bonfire Energy Exploration ship behind it.
At this mont, far away, on the bow deck of the Bonfire Energy Company’s ship, two third-tier transcendents stood quietly, waiting for the battle’s outco.
One had ssy blonde hair, sharp eyebrows, a high nose, a proud and heroic face, and was 1.8 ters tall with muscular build. Even through his gilded clothes, the black steel alloy beneath was heavy—
No, more precisely, it was black steel alloy many tis harder than steel.
If his clothes were stripped off, one would see that his heart and limbs were all the latest chanized creations.
He was chanist Dia, one of the seven Supernovae and the pilot of the Black Rock cha.
Dia casually leaned against the ship’s edge, humming a little tune, not even bothering to glance at the Viper Father.
In his eyes, the re Viper Father was completely unable to resist the mighty power of the Black Rock Giant.
The other was half-white-haired, dressed in a neat suit, standing tall like a butler at peak combat strength.
He was Bluefire, the captain of the Bonfire Energy Company’s Witch Sea Exploration team, and the manager who had pursued the Deep Blue Fire for twenty years.
Amidst the storm, the two said nothing. Only Bluefire noticed lanie on the Viper Father.
“White Tower Hunter...”
Bluefire paid little attention, quietly popped a gummy bear into his mouth, then briefly said:
“If you want to live, kneel.”
Bluefire’s voice was not loud, but with transcendent vision, lanie still read his aning through lip-reading.
Kneel... lanie gritted her teeth, wanting nothing more than to smash his dog head right now.
After all, she had once been the president of a Hunter Association, and now she was being ordered to kneel by a manager of the Bonfire Energy Company!
lanie’s eyes burned with fury, but she delayed giving orders.
The consequence of rashness would be the death of all five White Tower hunters and Chen Qi, or becoming slaves of the Bonfire!
So humiliations they had to bear.
Boom!
The Black Rock cha took another step, stirring a massive sea wave. It would reach the Viper Father’s position in just three seconds, crushing them!
Three!
Rationality, rationality... lanie was deeply conflicted.
Manager Bluefire and chanist Dia appeared to be just two third-tier transcendents, but in reality, both were at the peak of third-tier transcendents.
chanist Dia, for mastering cha technology, was even listed as a Supernova bounty of seventy million Shell Coins by the Blackfin Crew.
lanie did not want to surrender.
However, if this mission failed, everything the White Tower hunters and Chen Qi had accumulated in the Witch Sea day and night would be lost forever!
Two!
The Black Rock cha was only a hundred ters away from the Viper Father!
At this mont, Aelor and two other White Tower hunters were ready to attack.
Victory was impossible; thus, fighting was not an option!
One!
Now the Black Rock cha was fifty ters from the Viper Father, its engine roaring thunderously.
This was a bottomless pit scenario. Now, all they could do was entrust everything to the Bonfire Energy team... lanie took a deep breath.
“Abandon the fight.”
A loud male voice rang out through the storm, making the hesitant lanie’s decision for her!
A hanging stone dropped.
Lamp Keeper... lanie turned her head in a daze, looking at Chen Qi beside her.
Just now, Chen Qi had casually said to abandon the fight.
“Thank you for deciding for . I was too hesitant...”
lanie whispered. She was too conflicted about their existing wealth. The right choice now was to give up fighting the Bonfire Energy Company for the sake of survival.
Even if it ant losing everything.
Otherwise, they would lose even more.
As long as they lived, hope remained.
However, Chen Qi, who was about to lose everything, was far too calm at this mont!
No, more precisely, he was relaxed, even more so than the two transcendents on the Bonfire Exploration ship!
“Please, we are all about to beco prisoners, maybe even locked in the Bonfire Energy Company’s dark room for torture. Could you be serious...” lanie frowned.
Chen Qi took two leisurely steps forward and softly said:
“Because, lanie, we don’t need to fight at all.”
“???”
lanie and the others’ pupils shrank.
What did he an?
Chen Qi feigned mystery and explained:
“Just consider it a Lantern Bearer’s prophecy.”
Lantern Bearers naturally had prophetic talents. This was a very versatile reason.
Zero!
With the internal engine’s low rumble, scorching red light seeped from every seam of the Black Rock cha, a sign of imminent energy explosion.
In an instant, its right arm suddenly gathered a surge of energy, wildly flowing from its energy core, converging at the fist.
The air seed to freeze at that mont. The surrounding space twisted under the impending power, forming visible circles of bright red ripples.
Boom!
Dragon Rock’s Wrath. Explosion!
With an earth-shattering blast, the Black Rock cha swung its fist, like dragon fla, striking the Viper Father’s translucent defense shield!
Where the fist passed, air instantly ignited, forming a dazzling trail of flas, like falling stars, charging forward with destructive montum.
The terrifying power, a combination of extre heat and pressure, made the surrounding sea tremble within a thousand ters, as if ti itself stopped at that mont!
Bang!
Just one punch shattered the Viper Father’s protective shield! The entire ship shook violently under the massive force!
Terrifying beyond words! Everyone gasped in shock, knowing that the Viper Father’s shield was top-tier.
“Wow!”
Chen Qi sat at the ship’s bow, watching the general-class cha’s power like a fireworks show.
The water spirit number four beside him couldn’t help but widen its eyes, full of envy!
“Miss lanie, if only I could have a general-class cha soday...”
Chen Qi teased.
One had to admit, in Beiguo, chas were a man’s ultimate romance!
As a player, not piloting a cha in Beiguo was like not raising a pet beast in the Goldenfinch Kingdom.
“Hey, Qi, can you be serious...”
lanie couldn’t help but call out to Chen Qi.
Their Viper Father’s shield had broken! Why was he so calm?
lanie was already panicking, even considering how to surrender while maintaining White Tower hunter dignity.
“Don’t panic, lanie—”
Chen Qi said softly.
lanie finally couldn’t hold back:
“Don’t panic! Qi, are you kidding? Do you know the language of the steel thorn ball flower? If we’re caught by the Bonfire Energy Company, it might be even worse than the Goldenfinch Kingdom’s entertainers being captured. Right now, Beiguo’s wealthy are in dire need of third-tier toys!”
lanie held her head, suddenly recalling White Pigeon Tis’ reports that failed third-tier hunter teams beca wealthy elites’ playthings.
In the face of true power, even strong third-tier transcendents were rely toys of the stronger.
Chen Qi said:
“Don’t worry, lanie.”
“I’ve already foreseen that they can’t catch us.”
“???”
lanie was stunned.
Lantern Bearers’ intuition far surpassed theirs.
Could he really foresee it? She glanced sharply at the Black Rock cha.
After that earth-shattering punch, the Black Rock cha was actually retreating, repeatedly backing up.
The Black Rock cha was actually afraid!
The Sea of Calamities was filled with countless sea beasts. Moreover, a cha’s energy core was one of the sea beasts’ favorite foods.
Not to ntion, I’m here.
Even a legend would find it hard to kill us on the sea.
Chen Qi yawned and waved toward the distant Bonfire Energy ship:
“Goodbye, you two~”
At the edge of the vision, Bluefire frowned, seriously saying:
“That guy is waving at us again. Dia, why is your cha pilot retreating?”
“Retreating?”
Dia, humming casually, stopped singing and looked seriously at the dark stormy sea.
The waves on the sea grew larger and larger—
Boom!
Accompanied by several terrifying waves, the Black Rock cha turned around, its entire body blazing with scorching flas, running wildly.
However, it was still one step too slow.
In the next mont, ten thick tentacles suddenly rose from the sea, fiercely entangling the general-class cha’s arm and thigh. Then ca two sharp slaps as two sturdy hundred-ter-long tentacles viciously whipped the black cha’s backside.
