Chapter 64 (1/2)
”I'm fine.” Su Xing shook his head; he was already accustomed to this sort of injury. Looking at Lin Yingmei, the young girl shook her head, so she also did not have any major problems.
After An Suwen bandaged Su Xing's wounds, she also fully used ”Spiritual Aura Distribution” to replenish Lin Yingmei's strength. Firmly resisting a One Star Heavenly Weapon's full power ”Great Wisdom King Cleave” three times, even if she was so valiant, she still did not expend much strength.
”Who were these people? It seems they already knew we were here beforehand?” The Efficacious Star said oddly.
”It's the Thousand Machine Gang. I'm afraid they came for Shi Qian.”
Wu Xinjie walked over as she turned her head and threw a glance at Shi Yuan.
”Me?” Shi Yuan blinked. The Thief Star promptly declared her innocence and drew the line: ”This Young Lady certainly has never seen the Thousand Machine Gang, nor have I stolen anything from them.”
”The Mo Attack Mechanism Records!” Wu Xinjie said: ”The Thousand Machine Gang are also experts at using mechanisms. It seems they should be a branch of the Heavenly Machine Clan. Most likely, they wanted to exploit you and wrest the Mo Attack Mechanism Records away.” The Knowledge Star looked at those shattered mechanisms and vaguely guessed seventy, eight percent of the truth.
With such a reminder, Shi Yuan actually recalled the reason why she took great interest in ”Machine Arts” was exactly that she inadvertently heard other people's discussions. Could it be said that the Thousand Machine deliberately arranged that?
”It indeed serves them right. It was fortunate that Sister Wu Yong saw through their ambush.” Shi Yuan giggled.
Wu Xinjie very easily saw through this ambush. Put another way, anybody would feel that a Star Master waiting in front of them declaring that he wanted a Star Duel was strange. Additionally, Gong Xu said he wanted single combat; the Knowledge Star suspected and sensed that Gong Xu definitely was alone to draw out the Star Generals, and then exploit the opportunity to kill them whilst they were unprepared. If they really did let him reach his objective, that result indeed was a bit not too encouraging.
This also was regarded as Thousand Machine Gang's bad luck. Without even mentioning an encounter with four Star Generals, there were still the top ten ranked Knowledge Star and Majestic Star.
”I did not think that even the Devil Star's Vajra's Sword was refined into One Star.” Wu Xinjie paid even more mind to this. Since the Star Duels already had more than three years, the other Star Maidens' Star Weapons also should more or less have finished refining the first Star.
”Only seizing the moment to find Relic Blade Sand will do.” Su Xing deeply held the same feeling. If it was not for the Vajra’s Sword advancing to One Star, Lin Yingmei would not have to fight around. It seemed they could not put off this ”Star Weapon Refinement.”
”Relic Blade Sand?” Shi Yuan exclaimed: ”Sister Lin Chong is preparing to use Relic Blade Sand as One Star material?” Thinking it over once again, Lin Chong acted as one of Maiden Mountain's supreme generals. Star Weapon Refinement naturally needed to use supreme materials.
”Bian City1 reportedly has a business workshop market. When the time comes, let's go there and look.” Su Xing thought of the Relic Blade Sand originally inside the Kunwu Ancient Monument taken by L'il Er and had a pang of regret.
”En.”
Su Xing walked before Gong Yang's corpse. This bastard died rather miserably, smashed into a pulp by a Copper Man Puppet's fist. Surprisingly, that wooden boat was still in good condition, and searching with his Divine Intent, this unexpectedly was the Supreme Grade Artifact, ”Wind Swayed Raft.” A Splashing Fire Talisman eliminated the corpse, and that Astral Bag was rolled over. It was as Wu Xinjie guessed, for the Thousand Machine Gang definitely were experts in the Machine Arts. The inside of the Astral Bag mostly were several manufactured mechanisms, puppet materials, ”Scholar Tree Golden Wood,”2 ”Black Iron Wood,” 3 and innumerable ”Heavy Cloud Tunics.” There were also several hundred blank Puppet Flags and a few not yet used mechanisms and such; it actually pitifully lacked artifacts.
Besides the attacking flying sword necessary to Star Cultivators, Su Xing also discovered two ”Gold Tooth Machine Disks”4 and a ”Heaven Concealing Parasol.”5
It was obvious that if he truly had any first-rate artifacts, Su Xing would not have faced him that easily.
The Machine Arts materials were useless if Su Xing held onto them, so he gave them to Shi Qian as remuneration.
The sole item that let Su Xing feel there was an abundant harvest was that Wind Swayed Raft. It was a flight artifact; flight artifacts in Liangshan Continent were definitely rare. This Wind Swayed Raft seemed to be created by him linking mechanisms together. Although its speed was not very fast, as far as the not yet Nebula Late Stage Su Xing was concerned, this was equivalent to a convenient tool.
