1037 Key 1 (2/2)
While riding on the Black Sucker, Garen traveled towards the south on his journey. He passed long, continuous stretches of black hills. The Black Sucker that was now the host of a parasite ran at an extremely fast speed. Many of the monsters that Garen passed by wanted to ambush him, but were unable to catch up to the Black Sucker's speed. Soon, many of them fell behind after chasing him for some time.
Without having to waste time clashing with them, Garen was able to enter the region of the Plains of Everlasting Night within slightly more than an hour.
Just as he had entered the Plains of Everlasting Night and before traveling further, he could already see three people in black robes. They were besieging a black ox that was exhaling red flames from its nostrils on the dark earth surface in front of him.
The black ox was sturdy and large while the muscles of its entire body were taut. Its front hooves would dig up the ground occasionally as it panted coarsely.
Meanwhile, the three figures that were surrounding the black ox were in a tight corner. One of them had suffered injuries to his shoulder and was constantly dodging the black ox's attacks with somewhat strange postures. The little group shouted occasionally while a few invisible and transparent pieces of Energy Machinery assisted them by increasing their speed and strength.
Garen's vision focused on the few pieces of invisible Energy Machinery. He could seemingly tell what kinds of specialized measures were used to make them invisible. However, it seemed as though these invisibility effects had started destabilizing gradually. Thus, he was able to see the fluctuations and distortions of time and space at a glance.
Numerous laser-like beams were constantly being released from the hands of these three people. These beams struck the body of the black ox, but they only managed to cause tiny wounds of various sizes onto its body. It was not very effective, and they managed to enrage the black ox instead.
Moo!
The black ox roared furiously and spat a large mouthful of wine-red flames at one of the people suddenly.
Garen stood far away and narrowed his eyes faintly. Was this Level Three strength?
He used his Energy Machine Imprint to judge the power of the black ox's flames immediately.
Boom!
The flame struck the chest of one of the people violently and sent him flying in an explosion at once.
”Friend, sorry to trouble you, but we need some help. Help us kill this Void Fire Ox, because we'll need its heart later!” Two of the people panicked suddenly. One of the men then yelled at Garen loudly and asked for help.
”The heart of the Void Fire Ox? Is the heart of the Void Fire Ox even useful?” Garen raised his eyebrows and asked them in a universal language.
”It can be used! It's definitely useful. We used specialized methods to observe it for a few days beforehand so there won't be any problems at all!” The man from earlier yelled quickly before dodging the black ox's flames immediately again.
”Alright then!”
Garen smiled faintly and walked over slowly. An invisible chill rushed towards the three people who were clashing with the Fire Ox suddenly.
Suddenly, the cold attacked the Fire Ox and caused its movements to become irritable.
Moo!
It let out a furious roar and began to feel a tremendous threat approaching. It glared at Garen in a panic and tried to retreat backward, frenzied.
Garen closed his eyes. When he opened them again, shrouds of faint bloodthirsty qi were released.
He raised a finger and pointed it at the Fire Ox.
”Explode!”
Bang!
The Blood Eagle's Blood Control abilities burst out at once.
The blood within the Fire Ox's entire body sprayed out madly. It gushed out of its skin and all seven crevices of its body like a fountain. It lost all of its energy at once before falling on the floor. It made a crashing noise before finally becoming a corpse.
The three people, who were covered in wounds, stared at Garen with gaping mouths.
”Level Five… A Level Five powerhouse!” The voice of one of these people sounded as if he was quaking slightly.
This was a Level Two to Level Three district. Energy Machinists or Mech Pilots that were Level Three or higher would rarely appear here because this place lacked things that were highly valuable to them. Therefore, Level Five Energy Machinists were what these Energy Machinists without sects dreamed of becoming.
There would only be one of them within a hundred people, making them amazing.
Level Four Energy Machinists were already the backbone of the social stratum of the three main Energy Machinist metropolis, much less Level Fives.
Furthermore, he was such a young Level Five!
These three people which comprised of two men and one woman came to the Void Battlefields and took risks to find materials. They had broken through Level Three to become Level Four Energy Machinists. However, they were no longer young anymore. They were already twenty-five to twenty-six years old now and had almost exhausted their chances of developing their potential. If they had not come to the Void Battlefields to find precious materials, they would perhaps remain at Level Three for the rest of their lives.
Now, however, a young Level Five Energy Machinist was currently standing in front of them.
These three people exchanged glances and communicated through their gazes.
Garen had walked over and had now taken out a little knife to cut open the side of the Fire Ox's body before digging its heart out.
Its heart was still beating faintly like a living creature. Moreover, since all of its blood had spurted outwards because of Garen's Blood Control ability, the ox's heart was extremely clean and pretty, like a crystal model that could move.
He took the heart away and placed it into his Space Ring directly. This made the hearts of the other three Energy Machinists jump slightly as well. This Level Five Energy Machinist was definitely the powerhouse of one of the sects. Otherwise, he would not be so familiar with the usage of Space Equipment.
It was important to note that the price of Space Equipment outside was not cheap. Therefore, most Level Four Energy Machinists would need to save up for at least a few years before having enough money to purchase these devices.
