Chapter 330: Unknown Motive (2/2)
Before the black tank could adjust its aim, the white snake opened its mouth and breathed fire, engulfing the small room with invisible white fire.
As soon as the fire reached the ammunition, they detonated, causing a large explosion in this small room.
Yet, the tank, which had been hiding in this small room, wasn't affected by the random shells, shrapnel, heat, or random impact from various objects. It continued to operate, locking its aim at Ling Tianlong.
As soon as the three gunner golems were dead, the golem tank's barrel spat fire!
BOOM
As if the Yang Monarch had predicted what the tank would do, it aligned itself in the shell's trajectory and opened its mouth. At the same time, it reverted back into a physical form.
The shell entered the snake's mouth and dragged the snake along with it, after which the snake flew past Ling Tianlong and others to the other end of the corridor as it couldn't stop the tank's shell.
BOOM!
The shell hit the other side of the dungeon wall, planting the white snake with it.
”How unsightly. Once you digest that shit, wash your mouth and come back here,” The Yin Monarch laughed.
Ling Tianlong's eyes didn't pay attention to his familiars. He dashed forward, hurried toward the tank before it could fire another bullet.
But the golem tank had reloaded its shell and readjusted the aim. It fired again!
The 150mm round that had almost killed him and his mentor instantly appeared before Ling Tianlong's head within a split of a second.
Ling Tianlong was about to tilt his head to dodge. Only then, he realized that his master was in the line of fire!
Had he dodged, Ling Cao would be hit!
”TSK!!”
Bracing the impact, Ling Tianlong covered his dragonewt's head with several layers of dragon earth element Qi barriers.
BOOM!
The impact was dead-on. Ling Tianlong was sent flying backward upon impact. Yet, it couldn't penetrate through his thick skin and the dragon scales.
The DU piercing shell, which had been fired by the tank, was flattened as if it had hit a stronger metal. It turned into an uneven round coin with a stump.
Ling Tinglong collapsed 500 meters away from the place where he had been headshot. His forehead was bleeding in green blood, but he still got back up to his feet.
The corridor wall next to Ling Tianlong flashed golden words.
[What the fuck are you!? That bullet can even kill an 8th-stage cultivator! Just how did you survive that!?]
Ling Tianlong didn't answer that question. He punched the wall and dragged his feet forward, planning to destroy the tank.
However, Ling Cao grabbed his disciple's shoulder, ”That's enough, Tianlong. Let's use our sect's recall talisman and return home. We're done here.”
Ling Tianlong paused, hesitated, ”Master. That talisman is expensive. Every talisman costs 1,000 essence cores! We'll be wasting our precious resources.”
”What can we do with those resources if we die here!? Don't be a cheapskate and use them. Our lives are more precious than those trivial essence cores!”
The protagonist finally showed a wry smile on his face as if he remembered something unpleasant in his previous life. Then, he nodded, ”Understood. Let's retreat.”
Both master and disciple backed down. Ling Cao brought out a talisman from his spatial ring and tore it.
The torn talisman transformed into a small dimensional portal, which sucked both men into the small hole and disappeared.
The teleportation process took only two seconds to complete. By the time that more pursuing golems reached their previous location, the Mount Hua Sect's men were gone.
…
At the ruin of Xuan City, a tall Japanese young man in a black tuxedo suit had been sitting in a bundle of haystacks, looking at the semi-transparent screens, which displayed the events in his dungeon.
The black-haired man sighed and scratched his head, wondering how Ling Tianlong survived the direct headshot from his best artillery tank.
”CJ…”
CJ, who had moved here after the battle had started, stood behind his new master, ”Your order?”
”Our weapon failed.”
”It seems that way.”
”What do you think we should improve on? I thought the golem-manned tanks and turrets would have finished the job, but they still failed to take down a 4th-stage trash.”
”You can no longer consider that man trash anymore. Rather, you should put him in the same category as that VIP customer of ours.”
”… That guy?”
The dungeon master recalled Miaomiao's face in his mind, after which he laughed.
”I doubt we can reconcile with Mount Hua Sect after this. I just tried to rob those monsters. We've wasted a potential VIP customer.”
”Nothing is certain in every world. We both experienced death and were reincarnated in this strange land, so you should have known how we can still turn things around.”
Being reminded of their previous world, the dungeon master grinned.
”You're right. Since we're merchants, we're supposed to be shameless.”
”Exactly!”
The two men chuckled as they watched a new hole within the ruined city flooding out 5,000 golem gunmen and hundreds of modern military vehicles.
While Miaomiao and the Yuan Clan had been preparing for war, this mysterious arms dealer also had ambition.
Chaos was just the beginning.
