*Splurt!*
A greenish blood gushed out from the wound of a large frog!
Fortunately, the splatter wasn't severe enough to touch Jia Yan's exposed antennae.
The frog's brain pierced, instantly dead beyond death.
Jia Yan flew in the air, gently pulling out a pair of forelegs embedded in the frog's head!
"These two blade handles are indeed very sharp, and their width matches perfectly with the metal exoskeleton of the rear forelegs. I won't be greatly affected when I pierce and pull them out."
Jia Yan's body soared once again.
Meanwhile, the frog collapsed to the ground, spilling green blood everywhere!
Jia Yan pondered, looking at the green blood staining his forelegs.
He felt that his forelegs might have acquired some toxicity, which wasn't a bad thing as he could temporarily avoid cleaning them.
He continued to track several Wokou.
Putting aside temporary events, the focus returned to the three buildings of the factory.
The tall young man lying on the office floor suddenly moved a finger...
Then, the supposedly lifeless human gradually opened his eyes.
"I... I'm not dead... that bastard! I'll kill him!"
The Northeastern Tiger staggered to his feet, crawling from the ground.
His gunshot wounds had inexplicably healed at some point, leaving only traces of bullets on his clothes.
Extremely eerie.
The Northeastern Tiger stumbled to his desk and sat down on the chair.
He breathed heavily as if it were the only way to ease his discomfort.
"Li Jingzi, what's going on!"
Suddenly a voice came from the office door, startling the Northeastern Tiger, who quickly turned his gaze!
Standing at the office doorway was the addict who should have left.
Seeing him, the Northeastern Tiger's mouth opened, making sounds as if a demon crawled out of hell!
"Addict... elder... I was almost killed by that guy with glasses... Where is he? I want him dead!"
As he spoke, his tone gradually returned to normal.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed no different from usual!
"I ran into them on the road just now. You hadn't left yet, so I came looking for you," said the addict as he entered the office, but his gaze suddenly froze!
He stared at the bullet hole on the Northeastern Tiger's chest.
"How did you survive?!" The addict stopped in his tracks, his hand gripping the pistol handle!
As a sharp expert, he could instantly see what kind of attack the Northeastern Tiger had endured. Surviving such an attack was impossible!
"Elder!" The Northeastern Tiger hurriedly explained, "I learned from my ancestors' records that the original liquid from the factory has a certain chance of reviving half-dead humans. Luckily, I had two bottles of the original liquid in my desk. So when I was almost dying, I used them as a life-saving medicine. I didn't expect it to actually work!"
In that moment, the Northeastern Tiger seemed to catch his breath.
"Revived? Your factory was built by the Wokou, right? Could it be..." The addict's words trailed off.
"Is there any connection between those top three experts in the world, especially that immortal monster from Wokou, and this?"
Having just been revived, the Northeastern Tiger began to check his body with amazement.
"Not only have my wounds disappeared, but my body also feels different from before. It's truly a strange sensation!" The Northeastern Tiger felt empowered.
"Kid, you've hit the jackpot! But your combat abilities are still too weak. Forget about this factory for now and come with me. Through my training, you'll become stronger. That Wokou monster has occupied the top three for too long. It's time for someone from our Huaxia to knock him down!" The addict's eyes gleamed.
"Of course, among the top three experts, the real strongest is always that elder from Huaxia. But considering his age, if he were to pass away, the real top experts of Huaxia would be in short supply. Luckily, you seem to have potential."
"Huh?..." The Northeastern Tiger was somewhat puzzled.
The assassin addict didn't know that during his absence from the factory, the Wokou monster he spoke of had also arrived!
Even infiltrating the underground of the factory, unbeknownst to him, toward a certain target in the world beneath a kilometer deep!
"What exactly are these three Wokou looking for?"
Maintaining a distance of thirty meters, Jia Yan quietly followed behind the three Wokou.
Thanks to the continuous sound of flowing water here, his flapping wings were well masked.
His compound eyes gazed softly, watching the direction the three Wokou were heading.
There was a swamp ahead, and it seemed like the trio was skirting around it.
"They have a map, obviously drawn decades ago! Could it be that the terrain of this underworld hasn't changed since then?"
Looking around, Jia Yan initially thought that in such a biodiverse place, there should be significant changes over the years. But if the map from decades ago was still accurate, then his assumptions were wrong.
Though the surface appeared undulating, it was actually a calm place.
But this calmness was destined to be destroyed!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Distant gunshots rang out, catching Jia Yan's attention. He slightly ascended, taking a high look!
A group of densely packed creatures appeared in the sky!
Each of these creatures looked ferocious, and the sound of their flapping wings echoed throughout the underworld!
They circled in a certain direction, continuously detaching individuals to attack below!
"The army of Grittar has indeed appeared!"
Jia Yan's compound eyes glowed softly as the master of the underworld emerged!
Although they currently appeared to be just a regular army of Grittar, confronting the two American and Huaxia martial kings, it was enough to scare them!
Gunshots continued in that direction, and Grittar in the sky kept getting hit, falling to the ground.
"All those dead Grittar have mysterious fluid in their brains, but it's not the time for me to absorb it yet. I'll wait a while..."
The few Wokou ahead of Jia Yan also noticed the commotion behind them. After a brief observation, they hastened their pace!
"Alright! They've picked up speed, I should catch up!"
Watching the three Wokou, Jia Yan slightly accelerated, maintaining a distance of about thirty meters, ensuring that his wing flapping sound wouldn't be detected.
After bypassing the swamp, the three Wokou turned towards a cave.
"That cave is..."
Jia Yan paused for a moment, looking at the direction the three were climbing towards, suddenly recalling the scene he had witnessed before leaving the underworld!
Yes! That cave was the same one he had visited before escaping from the underworld!
"Could it be that the goal of those three is that giant machine?"
Jia Yan was shocked.
The last time he saw the giant machine, he had an ominous feeling, sensing that it was something very peculiar, definitely not a good thing.
So he had struggled to forget about the machine and the three monsters lurking beside it.
It was just a fleeting glance, maybe he had been mistaken!
He held onto this idea, denying these things.
But seeing the three Wokou heading towards it with maps in hand, Jia Yan felt that familiar sense of unease resurface once again!
"What exactly are they going there to do?"
"Could it be that they are after their so-called 'divine object'? Or perhaps, the machine itself is the 'divine object'? Let's go and find out!"
With doubts lingering in his mind, Jia Yan flapped his wings and swiftly flew towards the cave where the massive machine was placed.
In the distance, the Grittar army seemed to be chasing after something on the ground, also converging towards the same direction.
Several experts actually found a way to escape amidst the pursuit of the Grittar army!
"James, these bee-like monsters are truly terrifying. Are you still unwilling to use the power of the Super Mutants? If we don't use it now, I'm afraid we'll end up dead here before our ammunition runs out!"
With a sweep of his arm, the elderly-faced Hamilton knocked a ten-centimeter-long giant Grittar, which had been stabbed by a stinger, to the ground.
However, despite being struck by human force, the Grittar suffered no damage, rolling on the ground before once again flapping its wings and launching an attack towards the two!
The individual members of the Grittar army were indeed formidable!
But what was even more terrifying was their overwhelming numbers!
Just as they repelled one giant Grittar, another one lunged down, its stinger poised to strike!
*Splurt!*
Hamilton's arm was directly pierced by the stinger!
Blood gushed out instantly. Even though the stinger of the ordinary giant Grittar was only three centimeters long, once it pierced the muscle, it would inject toxins!
"Oh, damn it, I've lost feeling in my arm!" Hamilton's arm immediately went numb!
"Let's go!"
James barely fended off a giant Grittar, then reached out to grab Hamilton's collar and started running!
The Grittar army continued their pursuit!
Meanwhile, the two Huaxia martial kings seemed to have an easier time compared to the two American counterparts.
They were fully equipped. As long as they protected their relatively vulnerable areas such as arms and ankles, they could effectively defend against the attacks of the Grittar army!
But this also came with its dangers!
"Captain! I just saw a few people climbing up that cave over there. They weren't those two Americans, nor were they our people. I don't know who they are. Should we go and check it out?"
A Huaxia martial king shouted loudly.
"Alright! Let's go check it out!" The captain of the martial kings grabbed his military dagger and struck the head of a giant Grittar, severing its entire head!
The two of them swiftly ran towards the direction where the three Wokou had climbed up.
Including Jia Yan, everyone was converging towards the cave!
