Soon, a small glass jar appeared in Garen’s hand. Inside of it was a yellowish, hairy caterpillar with poisonous stings all over it. There were two silver-shining tentacles on its head; it looked sluggish as if it was sleeping.
“It’s a pleasant surprise. The Void Caterpillar looks insignificant, but it’s very useful for the stabilization of Willpower. It is actually a high-level item used by Full-Moon Level powerhouse. Being able to bid for one here is indeed a pleasant surprise.”
Garen kept the small jar and looked at the ‘Others’ category.
There were a few miscellaneous items inside. Ron and Barlow’s stolen goods that he had just traded out were also shown on it, and people had already started bidding.
Garen smiled a little, turned around and left.
The sky outside was still pitch black. A gust of fresh air immediately filled his lungs.
Looking around, there would occasionally be some people who entered this yurt from the side while some exited from the back, hurrying to leave.
The entire area was a moderate-sized temporary camp. It was destroyed by that man just now, and the remnants looked dilapidated. Some automatic robots were doing some repairing work. Blue welding lights and buzzing sounds were continuously seen and heard.
In the open space not far away, the people from the Five Wheel Sect had assembled and gotten in order. A man with short, blond hair was speaking coldly at the assembly. Because there were soundproof devices, the sound could not be heard. However, seeing the expression of this group of peoples, it was obvious that they were going to kill the man who had previously caused trouble.
Not only was Garen watching, some people were also taking notes about the movement of Five Wheel Sect. Nonetheless, many of them just had a view before leaving the place in a hurry.
The same was true for Garen, who tightened his robe and quickly headed toward the exit of the camp.
Standing outside of the exit, he raised his eyes and looked around the surrounding. Recalling his location on the map, he once again determined his position.
This was the edge of the Plains of Everlasting Night. Dark, undulating mountains could be seen all around in the front. The sky was black and the ground was black. From afar, Flesh-Banyan trees were seen to be spurting out black smoke, like a chemical plant that was discharging air waste.
As the Energy Machinists came out from the camp, some would make a few leaps and disappear quickly into the darkness, while others would be whispering at the exit. There was one who whistled, and a black large bat flew down from the sky. He jumped on it and the large bat carried the person and flew straight away. It was extremely chic.
Garen went to the side of the camp’s exit. He did not block the other people as well as draw attention to himself. He recalled the map.
“The Plains of Everlasting Night is not suitable for hiding. There are, however, lots of crypts at the honeycomb hills on the edge that is suitable for hiding and the danger is not that great. The Void Black Bees inside are only Level Two creatures and can be easily eliminated even by Level Three Energy Machinists. It should not be a big problem.”
Garen identified the place, turned around and headed toward the honeycomb hills.
Just as his figure disappeared into the night, two dark shadows quietly moved in the darkness from the edge of the camp and followed after him.
“It’s him.” A voice whispered through the air.
“He should be a novice based on his appearance. That is the direction of Level Two district. His strength should be weak.” Another voice whispered. “Being capable of buying a Void Caterpillar, he must have a high net worth.”
“Wait ’till we reach a quiet place before making our move.”
“Alright.”
The two dark shadows were like the invisible airflow in the air, quietly following behind Garen.
**************
Garen continued to sweep past the black ground of mud before his view.
The feeling underneath each step was somewhat uneven, like stepping on a damp blanket. It was soft, yet a cold breeze could be felt.
The temperature in the air was getting lower. Different sizes of white frosts and a condensed layer of thin ice layer could be seen on the ground now and again.
He looked around. The surrounding terrain gradually changed from flat plains to undulating hilly landforms. At a glance, he could no longer see further ahead as he had just now.
Croak croak… Croak croak…
Suddenly, there came a weird frog-like croaking sound from the front.
Garen frowned and slowed down. He gradually walked to a small hill at the front and looked down.
A dark, oval-shaped shadow more than two meters high was seen lying in front. It was not known what that thing was; it was quivering non-stop.
Croak croak…
This thing made some strange croaks again.
“Earth-Feeding Frog?” Garen seemed to have seen this thing from the data on Void Battlefield.
The Level Two Earth-Feeding Frog might look ferocious, but it was actually harmless. It just liked eating different types of soil. Moreover, this kind of creature was actually a beneficial insect for human beings. Wherever they habituated, the harmful substances and highly toxic radiation in the surrounding soil would be eaten up by them completely. Plus, its value was not high, so the average Energy Machinist would not kill it when they encountered it.
Only after approaching it did Garen discover that this thing was a larger version of a black frog.
A frog that was taller than two meters, slightly over three meters long was lying in a dirt pit. Its mouth was gnawing the mud on the ground and constantly chewing. Its mouth exposed the white column of teeth and gums. A large amount of soil was grated by the gums and swallowed.
Garen circled the frog and patted this fellow’s skin.
Clang, clang.
It was very hard, like steel.
Garen’s action was completely ignored by the huge frog. This fellow was just leisurely munching the soil.
Clang, clang. Garen knocked again. This big-fellow then took a look at him and was a little unhappy. It hopped away and switched to another place to continue munching the soil.
“How funny.” Garen smiled and turned around to leave. He began looking around for a suitable hiding spot.
But after just taking a few steps away from the huge frog, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Come out!”
Garen stood slightly sideways. His hands suddenly ejected a piece of ice and it shot into the darkness not far away.
Clank!
The piece shattered as it crashed into something in the dark.
The state of the two invisible figures was directly broken by the ice pieces, and the two emerged from the air.
“Interesting. You could actually notice us.”
The tall and thin person sneered.
“The same old way!” The other person said nothing more and waved his hand right away. A red, large, fiery lizard immediately flew out beside him. It opened its mouth to spurt and a large, red flame instantly shot out madly toward Garen.
The light from the fire illuminated the environment of the ground here. It turned suddenly from complete darkness to brightness that the retina could not adapt instantly.
However, Garen’s hand abruptly burst forth a black knife mark, delicately passing through the center of the flame.
The flame was divided into two and passed by his two sides. But, the knife in Garen’s hand quickly emitted black smoke. It softened and broke, falling to the ground fizzling.
“What a strong corrosive force.” Garen was slightly surprised. The corner of his eyes saw the divided-flame behind him. When the flames fell to the ground, it turned into liquid and quickly eroded the soil into two large holes.
Two red lizards reappeared next to the two people.
“Close combat!” Garen immediately established his tactic. Instead of falling back, he made a mighty jump forward and darted empty-handed at the position of the two individuals. “This trick again. I’m so bored of seeing it after so many times.” One of them disdained and the resonance on him instantly vibrated right away.
Hum!
The two joined hands together and their Willpower merged into a single block, together with the Willpower of the three red lizards. They all joined together as one and formed a red wall of light in front of them.
“This firewall defense is not just for defense. As long as your strength is not more than the Full-Moon Level, the amount of strength you used to hit it would be rebound to hurt you back! Hehe. Kid, just accept your fate!” One of them smirked and stared at Garen with his hands crossed in front of his chest.
Both of them were of New-Moon Level, and their combined power was enough to cause many Half-Moon Levels to fear to resist, let alone this Level Five Energy Machinist rookie before them.
This move had killed many powerful Energy Machinists who wanted to have close combat. They both coldly watched Garen darted over. In their heart, they had had already sentenced him to death.
More than twenty meters were crossed over by Garen in one shot. When he flew down, the wall of fire was instantly formed.
This was a trap!
Just when the two imagined the other party being rebound by the fire and battered seriously.
A blue line suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Swish!!
The long, slender, blue wire flashed once and was gone, like a blue flashlight. And the moment the blue line flashed, there came a cracking sound from the wall of fire.
Boom!!
The entire wall of fire crashed.
The two people, together with the lizards, were like being struck by lightning, they could not help but staggered backward, blood could be seen spurting out of their mouths.
“Retreat!!” The facial expression of one of them changed dramatically. He spun around and fled.
The other person reacted slightly slower and was slashed by Garen, who had already descended halfway in the air.
The energy field defense, the two fire-lizards that flew up to block with their bodies, and a metal block that the person threw out hastily were all cut across in one slash by this one blue line.
The blue ray lightly sailed across the man’s neck.
With a bang, Garen gently fell behind this person.
Behind him, two lizards, a black-robed person who was alive, and a seemingly solid piece of black metal were all split into halves in an instant, falling to the ground with a boom.
No blood flowed out. All the blood fluid was condensed into ice by the chill emanating from Garen’s body, blocking the wounds.
Looking back, Garen glanced at this New-Moon-Level Energy Machinist. From the sensory point of view, that black metal block should be an Experimental Energy Machinery Body that the person had not yet fully expanded. It was probably his most powerful Energy Machinery. However, before he had the chance to fully utilize it, it was slit by the demonic blade Sunlight.
This was the power of the demonic blade. Below the Inherited Level, it was invincible and undefeatable, sharp to the extreme.
If Sunlight were to be in a fully stimulated state, Garen had no idea how many upper limit levels he could reach. He only knew that even the defense of the general Inherited Level would also be slit in one move with his blade.
This level of treasure was not something that the ordinary Energy Machinists could imagine.
Fortunately, he had only used Sunlight momentarily and had put it away before the other party could see clearly. This also minimized the exposure of the demonic blade to the greatest degree.
Sweeping his gaze at the man who had fled, Garen launched a pair of bloody wings on his back. As it flapped, he instantly disappeared from the spot. Shortly afterward, a scream was heard in the distance. Garen descended lightly onto the ground and the bloody wings on him tucked away.
He walked to the Energy Machinist who had fled and who had fallen on the ground. This fellow was split into two from the top of his head to his groin and yet, he was still not completely dead. His mouth on one half of his body was still struggling to say something.
“Perpetual motion…magic device… I hate it!” He squeezed a few words and finally, breathed his last.
Garen sighed in amazement.
“The vitality of high-level Energy Machinist is indeed mighty. He was still able to survive for more than ten seconds even after being split into half! How terrific!”
“Perpetual motion magic device?” He heard this person’s words. “Was he referring to the level of Sunlight in my hand?” Garen guessed, yet he was also unsure.
