Chapter 694: Making a Move?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Lanfeng and Xie Yi dragged the main body of the tentacle monster onto shore. Luo Lang quickly ran up to them. The main body was even considered big for them, who were piloting mechas. If they fought with their regular bodies, they would be as small as ants compared to the tentacle monster?

Luo Lang thought about this for a second then frowned. He didn’t want to be at the lowest level of the food chain.

Luo Lang poked at the main body with interest. Suddenly he saw that there was a circular hole at the main body’s lower part. The hole had black fluid constantly flowing out from it. Luo Lang knew that this was the monster’s blood. In other words, this wasn’t a mouth hole or the hole at the other end. Instead, it was wound.

“Guys, come take a look. Look at that!” Luo Lang anxiously called out to people to come take a look.

A bunch of people heard Luo Lang’s call and gathered around him. Han Jijyun was also poking at the hole with his large sword. Right as he did that, the black liquid that was flowing out, suddenly squirted into the air. If Han Jijyun’s reaction wasn’t as fast as it was, he would have been covered with the black liquid.

“It’s indeed a wound and it’s also a fatal one,” said Han Jijyun.

“Yeah, the amount of black liquid that spewed out from the explosion wasn’t as much as that wound itself.” Li Lanfeng saw that the ground they were standing on was already stained black and the speed of the flowing black fluid did not slow down. The large circular body also deflated at a speed the naked eye could see. It seemed that the circular hole was the main reason why it died.

“Our Boss probably made a move,” Luo Lang said with a glint in his eyes.

“I agree!” Xie Yi supported Luo Lang’s idea without hesitation.

“I also agree!” Han Jijyun thought for a second and could only come to such a conclusion as well.

“I don’t see why not.” Li Lanfeng said with a smile. Only Ling Lan had the capabilities to find the fatal weakness of the tentacle monster and kill it in one hit.

Everyone thought Ling Lan had made a move, but Ling Lan’s group had just reached the deepest part of the lake. Ling Lan didn’t expect the bottom of the lake to have a deep trench. Ling Lan stood at the edge of the trench and couldn’t help but frown.

“Boss, the thermal indicators are reacting greatly. It seems like this is the place.” Qi Long said sternly. Although they found the real source of the thermal signal, the bottom of the trench still gave Qi Long a strong and terrifying pressure. This made Qi Long’s mood heavy.

“Qi Long, do you feel a strong pressure? My instincts tell me that I shouldn’t go down there.” Ling Lan’s strange innate talent actually gave her a warning. Ling Lan couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

“My instincts also tells me that it’s very dangerous!” Qi Long added more emphasis on ‘very dangerous’.

Hearing this, Zhao Jun’s expression became serious as well. He knew clearly that Qi Long’s Animal Instinct was very sensitive. There was definitely an existence that was of a great threat to them since Qi Long felt danger, “Then, we’re giving up on it?”

Ling Lan didn’t say anything. She indeed could choose to give up and report the information to the higher-ups. However, the outcome of doing it like this would mean that afterwards, she would no longer have any part in this…

Ling Lan looked at the thermal signal shown on the mecha. She could predict that there was definitely a large energy source down in the trench. For her to give up on such a large prize, Ling Lan was still quite unwilling to do so. Compared to the credits Little Four accumulated by shady means, the thing in front of her could strengthen 250 Mecha Clan with real honor. Ling Lan’s original resolve began to waver.

Go or leave?

“Regiment commander, it’s all done.” At that moment, Ling Yu, who Ling Lan send to clean up had returned.

Ling Lan turned around to face Ling Yu. She suddenly had a thought. With him here, going down there will be safe right… However, using this kind of means to acquire merits, isn’t it too shameful?

The shame inside Ling Lan’s heart began to battle fiercely with her selfishness. Not long after, her selfishness easily defeated her so-called shameful heart.

Man, since he came to her voluntarily, if she didn’t use him, she wouldn’t be treating herself right. Ling Lan’s palm clenched together and decisively made a decision.

Thus Ling Lan ordered,” You guys wait here. Ling Yu, go down with me.”

“Boss!”

“Regiment commander!”

The other four all shouted. Was it safe to take a recently joined clan member? They weren’t confident about Ling Yu, who had only just joined and had unknown capabilities.

“Don’t worry, Ling Yu is part of the Ling family. He will protect me.” Ling Lan comforted and at the same time she expressed the fact that her decision could not be changed.

Hearing this, Qi Long couldn’t help but look towards Ling Yu… Did the Boss mean that Ling Yu is stronger than him? Or perhaps, because Ling Yu is a loyalist of the Ling family, thus if something were to happen, Ling Yu would give up his life in exchange for the Boss to escape?

Qi Long was worried. He didn’t know why, but his instincts were telling him that it was the first reason he had thought. That was because his Boss would definitely not sacrifice lives randomly, even if they were loyalists.

Ling Lan led Ling Yu and jumped down into the trench. Not long after, they disappeared into the darkness. In the end, they had completely disappeared from Qi Long and the others’ radars.

Maybe it was the strength of the thermal signal. It might have interfered with their other searching systems… The four of them looked at the empty radar and could only comfort themselves with this fact.

Ling Lan piloted her mecha and sunk down slowly. The cockpit was completely silent with only her soft breathing sound echoing through it. Loneliness, in addition to the pressure increasing as they sunk lower, made Ling Lan feel anxious. She couldn’t help but say, “You’re weird. Does the 23rd Division not have anything for you to do? You actually have time to play dress-up?”

“Lan’er, your heart’s wavering.” Ling Yu voice changed. The warmth it had also had a hint of comfort and made Ling Lan’s heart instantly stop wavering.

“I’m sorry dad!” Ling Lan took a deep breath and expelled the anxiousness out of her. It turns out Ling Yu wasn’t the real Ling Yu and was Ling Xiao dressed up as him.

“It seems that feeling the danger below could silently affect your mood. Looks like it’s a hard opponent.” Ling Xiao coldly stared at the bottom of the trench. It dared to bully his daughter. It was looking for a death wish.

“Dad, that thing at the bottom is mine.” After calming down, Ling Lan of course knew clearly who caused her mood to waver. She was instantly filled with anger. It actually dared to make look weak in front of her father. It was indeed looking for death wish!

“Alright!” Ling Xiao replied with a smile and was proud of her. As expected of his daughter, gutsy and would not back away from a difficult situation!

Aright, the two of them were never on the same page, but now somehow had a mutual understanding of each other.
