Chapter 171: What An Awesome Explanation
As time crawled, Fa Ning waited until he was bored out of his mind. The System suddenly spoke, “This is bad, why are they escaping? Besides that, I can faintly feel six extremely peculiar power presences from afar, and they appeared in the direction that they are escaping to.”
Fang Ning was very delighted after hearing that, but his tone, on the other hand, was flat. “See, what did I say? They really are cowardly, afraid that we might strike back before dying, and they didn’t want to delay any further, so they ran away. Regarding the six powers that you said earlier, what is so peculiar about them?”
The System replied, “Their presences felt very weak to me, with the highest being Cutlery-level, but the threat they pose is very high, almost reaching Pond-level.
Fang Ning had never doubted sir System’s battlefield observations, so he instantly became nervous and pondered, “What is the meaning of this?”
Qi Yan, who was currently treating Vigilante A, suddenly noticed that her own internal energy could not be channeled into him anymore.
She stared blankly ahead, and realized that he already stood up, head lifted and looking into the distance.
Qi Yan subconsciously asked, “Vigilante A, what happened?”
Vigilante A only glanced at her, and replied softly, “You are in grave danger. You are a mere Mug-level Contestant. Do not follow me. You will only cause me trouble later.”
Qi Yan spaced out after hearing so. What did he mean by “mere”? What “Mug-level Contestant”? What are those? “Also, isn’t your tone of speech changing a little too fast, Sir?” she thought.
He was still like a normal person earlier. When he saw that she came to save him, his tone was filled with gratitude.
However, now his tone became high and cold. Not to mention, this high and cold tone was actually more in line with her impression towards him…
Before she could react, Vigilante A disappeared before her eyes with an almighty ‘woosh’.
Qi Yan looked blankly at the empty space before him. His injuries were so heavy, and yet he could still run so fast. Did she diagnose him wrongly with her ancestral medical treatment?
Fang Ning was utterly helpless, just now the System took away his body again after thoroughly choking him. With his hurried actions, it was definitely because he wanted to chase and capture the monster…
…
After a short while, Vigilante A appeared on a hill three miles from where he had been. He hid between some vegetation and looked below.
As Fang Ning looked through the System View, he understood everything at once.
At the foot of the hill he was on was a large, flat, meadow. The grass was yellow and swayed lightly with the wind. The surroundings were bleak and desolate, and only the whistling of the north wind could be heard. There were no sounds of insects chittering and birds crying at all.
Six large robots that were about ten meters high were spread across the meadow. It looked like a scene straight from a movie or an anime, but they have truly appeared in the real world this time.
They formed a loose circle, each of them armed to the teeth with missile launchers fixed on their shoulders, carrying anti-aircraft machine guns, a Gatling on their left hand, fire artillery on their right hand, and even multiple rocket launchers in their chest.
These were the only weapons that Fang Ning could recognize. Those robots also carried much more bizarre equipment on their bodies, those of which he knew nothing of.
At the central area that the six robots were surrounding stood the heirs of the Three Hindu Gods, those who ran away after releasing their Ult.
They were still clad in their so-called Heavenly Armor. The one called Maram’s was exceptionally obvious, with his Heavenly Armor’s gold and the crimson of his blood mixed together. The effect was vibrant, and would have easily been etched into one’s mind.
At this moment, he was currently talking to the robots, “Ren Ruofeng, you guys actually came up with these spiritually-controlled androids! But I have to ask, are you so confident in them that you’d these metal scraps to try to detain us?”
After he finished speaking, a lazy voice sounded.
The source of the sound was from a large, coquettish, android which was painted silver white all over and dressed up extravagantly.
“You are quite precise, as these spiritually-controlled androids are still just prototypes, it would certainly be difficult to keep you people here. Unfortunately, there is now a highly intelligent Level A test subject. Oh, according to the Dragon Clan evaluation standards that arrived recently, is it just too difficult to find a Pond-level test subject. Luckily, you people have brought yourselves to us, just in time to put you people inside and help me do an actual combat test… But if you guys think of escaping, that would be impossible, as I, Ren Ruofeng’s predictions are never wrong. Do you guys really believe this circle is all I have? You guys have two options, to surrender to me, or to be executed on the spot…”
After Maram listened to him, he was shocked and furious, “Ren Ruofeng, we are the heirs of the Three Hindu Gods, and also members of the GASATO. If we refuse to surrender, would you really dare to kill us?”
Ren Ruofeng’s voice was unfazed, “Ei, Old Ma, didn’t you just say that ‘righteousness lies in the hands of the strong’? What’s the point of that? I’m now stronger than you right now, so I now represent justice. If you refuse to surrender, I shall then execute you with the Hammer of Justice!”
After he finished his sentence, the silvery-white robot’s right hand started moving. The huge silvery-white fist could be seen targeting Maram, and sprang out in an instant, striking in a flash.
Maram was a Pond-level Powerhouse after all. When facing unexpected attacks like this, he was able to dodge in a few steps. That huge silvery-white fist barely brushed past his body.
His Heavenly Armor vibrated lightly a few times; the golden shine from the outer layer had weakened.
“Damn it, the impact was so powerful. This is definitely not any normal physical attack!” Although Maram evaded the attack, he was still extremely startled, he told himself that he would have to be on his toes.
Ren Ruofeng seemed a bit disappointed, and the voice of the silvery-white robot rang once again, “This is unfortunate, certainly the speed and hit rate are still not good enough. I expected that hit to kill you immediately. It seems that I still need that guy to work overtime to help me do some debugging…”
Fang Ning was stupefied, this Maram was a Pond-level Powerhouse who brushed with the System was actually stuck in a battle where it would take days before a clear winner was decided.
