Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

Mining area.

After a long "cleansing" that lasted a whole night, the remnants that emerged from the old ruins finally became fewer and fewer.

Even though there were thousands of skeletons from the alchemy factory surrounding the exit, they were still firing crazily and almost non-stop with the Type III heavy-particle submachine guns, which had greater lethality and penetration.

Those brutal and violent remains still destroyed more than half of the body.

There were even a few corpses that escaped from the encirclement.

The price paid for this battle was not small.

To put it bluntly, if Singerad had reported the ruins to the military district when he first discovered them, the military district would not have suffered such huge losses as long as it sent troops.

However, these losses are nothing to Sinjerad.

In order to occupy the resources within the ruins as soon as possible, he didn't even care about the life and death of his own nephew, let alone some skeleton warriors.

"It looks like the cleanup at the entrance has finally been completed."

Singerad walked down from the tower very calmly, looking at the entrance of the ruins, where only a few skeletons occasionally rushed out, with a smile on his face.

Although it took a whole night, we finally completed the cleanup operation before the military district sent out troops.

"Master Supervisor!"

The guard officer walked quickly to Singerad's side and said in a deep voice, "According to preliminary statistics, our skeleton warriors have lost about 600 people, and there are about six skeletons that have escaped from the mining area. Four of them fled to the ditch area, and two fled to the inner city. I have already sent people to hunt them down."

"madness!"

Sinjerad snorted coldly, "All the people have been sent out. Who will help me explore the ancient ruins? The team sent to the ditch area should be withdrawn. Most of the inner city area is the property of my alchemy factory. The two remnants that fled to the inner city area must be strangled as soon as possible!"

"I understand. However, if too many miners are killed or injured, it may affect the mining of Fanges Crystal Mine."

The guard nodded repeatedly. He knew that this supervisor was a black-hearted person, but he didn't expect him to be so black-hearted.

After all, the ditch area is where most of the miners live, and there is almost no defense force. If the remnants are allowed to wreak havoc in the ditch area, it will probably cause considerable casualties.

Obviously, in Singerad's eyes, those untouchables in the sump area are nothing but worthless lives, and it doesn't matter whether they live or die.

"What do you know? How many rebels are hiding in the ditch area? It's just right, let them fight with Can Tui until both sides suffer losses!"

Singerrad grinned for a while, and his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the old ruins again. "Go! Send a vanguard team in to explore the way first! This ruins will belong to our alchemy factory after all! Hehehe!"

"Oh? Sin Gerard, you found ancient relics in the mining area, but you didn't report it to the military district immediately, and you still want to claim it as your own?"

Just then, there was a commotion at the back of the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, more than 300 skeleton warriors surrounded them from the rear. They acted swiftly and completely blocked off the entire ancient ruins in the first place.

Unlike the skeleton warriors in the alchemy factory, each of these skeleton warriors possesses a duplicated identity, which is far beyond the reach of ordinary skeleton warriors.

Three hundred skeleton warriors, it can be seen that the military district attaches great importance to this relic.

After all, according to convention, when ancient ruins are discovered in the lower level area, in most cases, only about a hundred skeleton warriors will be sent out.

After hearing this voice, Singerad's expression suddenly changed.

I worked hard to clean the place all night and finally waited for the time to inspect the results. At this moment, people from your military district just happened to arrive!

Oh shit!

You have been making wedding dresses for others in vain!

Singerad was filled with resentment. It was obvious that the military district should have received the news long ago, but was deliberately watching in the dark, waiting to intercept!
However, Singerad did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, but rushed to the person who came.

The visitor was a middle-aged man wearing military boots, standard armor, holding a long whip in his hand. He had a beard and a pair of hawk-like eyes that revealed a hint of coldness.

Sin Gerard bowed respectfully to him at a 90-degree angle, his head almost parallel to the ground, and said with a smile, "It's Master Guisu. What are you talking about? I was just anxious to suppress the tide of remnant metamorphosis to avoid causing a greater impact in the lower levels, so I didn't have time to report it."

"Besides, according to the regulations, our alchemy factory is obliged to report the news of the excavation of the ancient ruins to the upper military district within one day. But now it has only been one night, and there is no overtime! I have been diligent in clearing out these remnants outside to welcome you, my lords. How dare you have the intention of occupying half of them for your own benefit? You are really wronging me!"

"Humph!"

Lord Guisu smiled coldly. How could he not know what was going on in Sinjerad's mind? However, since he had picked up a great bargain for free, he was too lazy to point it out.

"You don't have to feel resentful. I know you have spent the whole night here, and I will never forget you if you have any benefit."

Master Gui Su patted Sin Jielade on the shoulder, leaned close to Sin Jielade's ear, and said in a low voice: "The higher-ups have been eyeing this relic for a long time. Not to mention you, even the commander-in-chief of our entire Third Military Region would not dare to get involved."

"This……"

Sin Gerard's eyelids twitched suddenly. The chief didn't dare to think about it, that was even worse.

Someone from Beiming Military Academy?

"Gulu!"

Sin Gerard swallowed hard, then forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Guisu, for your advice!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Considering that you've worked so hard all night, when we officially start exploring, I'll allow you to bring a team with you. We can't let your work at the alchemy factory go in vain!"

"This……"

Singerad's face suddenly froze. He just wanted to say that Lord Guisu was a rare kind person, but he didn't expect that this guy was even more cruel than himself!
What do you mean by giving themselves a chance? It's clearly just letting them be cannon fodder!

Everyone knows that old ruins carry both opportunities and risks, and even if the military is dispatched, there will inevitably be damage.

The reason why we brought Singerad's people in with us was to let them rush in the front and explore the way!

However, although it is dangerous, this is also Sin Gerard's last chance!
"Okay, thank you very much, sir!"

Sin Jierad gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to spit at Gui Su in his heart, a higher-ranking official can crush a person, not to mention that this Lord Gui Su was more than one level higher than him!
……

the other side.

Ling Feng had just returned to his residence from the City That Never Sleeps. He was about to check the spoils he had obtained when he heard a commotion outside. Although it was far away, it seemed to be the roar of some ferocious beast.

A vicious beast?

No, it's not a ferocious beast, but a remnant!

In the doomsday battle at the Ice Abyss Sea in the past, countless remnants emerged, causing huge casualties.

Ling Feng was naturally very familiar with the breath of the remnant. Combined with what Bretan had said before, a large number of remnants emerged from the old ruins in the mining area, and it should be that some of the remnants broke out of the encirclement and came to the ditch area.

For most of the civilians in the ditch area, it is simply impossible for them to resist the power of the remnants!

As for the guards at the alchemy factory...

Ling Feng smiled coldly. From what he had seen and heard in the past few days, it seemed that the people in the alchemy factory didn't care about the lives of the poor people in the slum area.

At this moment, Bretan rushed out of the cave where Ling Feng lived. Suddenly he thought of something, and then he looked back at Ling Feng in the cave, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Feng, there should be some remnants rushing out of the mining area. You stay in the cave and don't come out. I will deal with it!"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, but saw Bretan holding the huge door in his hand, already in a fighting posture.

Ling Feng's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to say something, Natalie's voice came from outside again.

"Phew, luckily I came back in time! Captain, you can't go!" Natalie stood in front of Bretan and refused to let him go no matter what.

Bretan’s expression changed, “Natalie, you!”

He obviously didn't believe that Natalie would say such a thing!
"It is impossible for the civilians in the Sump to fight against the Remnants. Are we going to watch them die in vain?"

“Then do you know what the consequences will be if you rush out and expose your identity?” Natalie gritted her teeth. “You, me, Xinghen, Kekid, Liyue, and even the newcomers Lingfeng and Huang Shaotian, we are all at risk of being exposed!”

"Do you think that if you save those civilians, they will be grateful to you? No, as long as the people in the alchemy factory use a few crystal shavings as bait, those guys will betray you without hesitation and tell you everything they saw! And those clues will all point to you in the end! Your exposure means that all of us will be exposed!"

Natalie clenched her fists tightly. "These are a group of hopeless people! They are not our allies. They will even stab us in the back at the critical moment! If you trust these people, you will die miserably!"

"I understand, of course I understand!"

Bretan, a big guy, actually had tears in his eyes. "But why do we do this? Why did we join the organization? If we are as cold and cruel as the Alchemy Factory, then what is the difference between us and those people who once oppressed and exploited us?"

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, then raised his hand and gently placed it on Natalie's shoulder. "Natalie, if we don't have the belief in making this world a better place, what is the meaning of everything we do? You can laugh at me for being stupid, but I will still do it! I am willing to take a gamble, bet that this world is not so hopeless!"

After that, his eyes became more determined, "So, get out of the way, Natalie! If I'm exposed, I won't come back."

"Captain, you idiot!"

Natalie shook her head. "I just said you can't do anything, but did I say we should just stand by and watch? Do you think I'm such a cold-hearted person?"

"what?"

Bretan was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly felt hot when he thought of the impassioned words just now, but he quickly shook his head, "No, no, I won't do anything. Do you want to do anything?"

"Of course not. I'm the same as you. The risk of being exposed is too great. But Ling Feng is different."

Natalie stared at Ling Feng, "Newcomer, show your skills to the captain!"

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. It turned out that this woman was plotting against him!

However, faced with this situation, Ling Feng really couldn't just stand idly by.

Perhaps most people in the slum area have become indifferent, selfish, and muddle-headed, like the walking dead.

However, there are also people like Bretan, Natalie and others, and people like Ada, who, although struggling to survive, have not given up hope.

There is only one of these people among ten thousand.

They shouldn't have died like this!
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng's figure suddenly grew taller and turned into a burly man like an iron tower.

Then, his body was covered with a layer of golden hair and he turned into... an ape-man?
The change in body size, plus the change in species from human to sub-human.

It would be a miracle if this could be exposed!

"This this……"

Bretan widened his eyes and looked at Ling Feng in disbelief. Even Natalie was a little surprised. She only knew that Ling Feng could change his appearance, but she didn't expect that he could also change his race!

"Are you from the Shapeshifting system?" Natalie looked at Ling Feng and then shook her head. "No, your speed and strength are both ridiculous! Could it be that you are from the Spirit System like the leader?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, "I'll go deal with those remaining remains first."

As he spoke, the Yin-Yang fish floated in Ling Feng's eyes, and his infinite vision opened up. He had already "seen" that there were four remnants pouring into the ditch area!

Moreover, they are slaughtering people in the streets!
At this moment, for him, time is life!

"The remnant that was able to escape the blockade of the alchemy factory must be very powerful. Ling Feng, are you sure?"

Bretan still looked at Ling Feng with some concern.

After all, he is just a perception-level alien!

"I think there shouldn't be any problem. Wait for me to come back!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Natalie and Bretan looked at each other in disbelief.

"Space jump? Oh my god, who on earth is he?" Bretan swallowed, "It seems that I really underestimated the ability of this new guy!"

"He must be a genius in the spirit element as well!"

Natalie clenched her fists. "No wonder the leader values ​​him so much! He even asked us to assist him in completing a secret mission!"

"Secret mission?"

Bretan was stunned, "What mission?"

"Let's wait until he comes back!" Natalie took a deep breath, "Anyway, this mission is related to the old ruins in the mining area!"

……

At the same time, Ling Feng left his residence and used the Donghuang Bell to break through the void and teleport directly to the location of one of the remaining monsters.

The next moment, a golden-haired ape-man fell from the sky and punched out. Then, there was a loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, and the remnant that was rushing around turned directly into a rain of blood.

With a flash of faint light, Ling Feng's figure disappeared and he directly locked onto the next target.

This level of remnant is still too weak for him! (End of this chapter)
