GOR Chapter 669 Decision
“Wait, Xiaolian! What are you thinking?” Qiao Qiao tugged at Chen Xiaolian. “Do you want to become a target? If we move on land, we could at least hide ourselves. If we ride on this…”
“How do you think Lei Hu found us?” Chen Xiaolian turned to face Qiao Qiao. “Given his strength and position, could he not have life signature detectors? It does not matter if we travel by land or sky, we will be unable to hide ourselves. However, by riding this, we could at least increase our speed of escape and move out from Lei Hu’s range of detection as fast as possible.”
“However, what if he discovers our position and shoots us down while we are still up in the sky?” Qiao Qiao’s brows remain furrowed.
“Don’t worry.” Bluesea patted Qiao Qiao on her shoulder. Taking the initiative, Bluesea pulled open the hatch and moved to sit on the driver’s seat. “He can’t bring himself to kill Chen Xiaolian.”
The helicopter slowly rose up into the sky. After circling a few times, it quickly flew into the depths of the snow field.
…
Sister Yun stopped. Her face, which had been calm, revealed a hint of a wrinkle.
Before her stood a small wooden cabin. This was the place where Chen Xiaolian had cut her Silver Dragon spear, sending his coordinate to her.
At that moment, however, the little wooden cabin had collapsed, leaving only a pile of wood. No signs of life could be found there.
With a frown on her face, Sister Yun stepped forward. Using the Silver Dragon spear in her hand, she nudged aside a pile of broken wooden boards.
Inside the cabin’s fireplace, the ashes had yet to be completely extinguished and the embers still shone with a dark red glow.
Used bowls and utensils could be seen on the floor. However, they had all broke into pieces. Even so, there were still residues resting at the bottom of the bowls.
There under several wooden planks, several faint motes of light rested on the floor. This was where the Silver Dragon spear she gave Chen Xiaolian had been broken.
Sister Yun crouched down to scoop up the motes of light, which gradually faded into her palm, returning into her body.
After replenishing a bit of her over exhausted strength, Sister Yun stood up to survey her surroundings.
A trail of footprints could be seen moving from the cabin into the depths of the snowfield.
Sister Yun knitted her brows. She gently stroked the air with her right hand, causing silver motes of light to blink into existence. The silver motes of light then formed a white horse.
Soon, a white figure could be seen shooting through the snowfields in pursuit of the footprints like a speeding arrow.
…
The Olympus Pantheon Temple…
A man was standing within the square.
He was as short as a little child, no more than 1.4 metres in height. Every part of the skin on his face was wrinkled and his two ears rose sharply upward. There was a bluish-green quality to the colour of his skin.
His eyes were closed and an anxious expression was etched on his face.
A Sentinel mech soared through the sky in the distance, making its way toward the temple. After hovering atop the square for a moment, the mech landed before the man.
The Sentinel mech’s hatch opened up and an Irregularity jumped out. The Irregularity rushed to stand before the man while checking their surroundings. Seeing traces of a battle in the area, he revealed a look of utter shock on his face. “Sir Lei Hu, why are you standing out here? Mount Olympus… why is the restrictive barrier no more? And what is up with the traces of battle I see here?”
A series of questions gushed out from his mouth. However, Lei Hu did not answer him. Instead, he opened his eyes to regard the Irregularity. “Gnu, have you completed your task?”
“Yes, Sir Lei Hu.” The Irregularity called Gnu revealed a flicker of emotion as he said, “This is the eighth instance dungeon cleared by me.”
After saying that, he patted the mech behind him. His action caused a muffled thud sound to ring out. “My luck this time is quite good. This Sentinel mech is in very good shape. It is also equipped with flight parts. It is very convenient for both searching and pursuing. None of the Awakened ones survived.”
“Mm, not bad.” Lei Hu nodded his head softly before sighing. “You have also done your best for everyone. However… … now that it has come to this, I cannot hesitate anymore.”
“Hesitate?” Gnu was stunned by the words. However, before he could react, Lei Hu extended his hand out. He flicked a finger.
Following the finger flick by Lei Hu, a flower of blood bloomed out from Gnu’s heart area. With a look of shock on his face, Gnu flew several metres backward.
When his body fell to the ground, it began convulsing madly.
There at the heart area was a hole the size of a fist. Within the hole, a small seed had made its way into the blood within the body and was furiously sprouting. In but the blink of an eye, countless vines had emerged. The vines then drilled its way into the other parts of the body.
After only a few seconds, Gnu’s convulsing body stopped convulsing and it lay calmly on the ground.
Lei Hu ignored Gnu’s corpse. Instead, he closed his eyes.
After a while, Gnu slowly sat up. Moving his hands, he then got up.
The expression on his face was now similar to the one on Lei Hu’s face.
After getting up, Gnu did not look at Lei Hu. Instead, he turned and moved toward the Sentinel mech.
The thrusters roared into action as blazing hot trails of flames shot out from the Sentinel mech, pushing it into the sky once more. It flew toward the snowfield.
