Mechanical Flesh

Lionheart Castle.

In a dark room.

A black robe with a face hidden under the hood sat opposite an old man with gray hair.

"This person is the mission target!"

The thin black robe handed over a photo, with the target's personal information written in detail below.

The old man took the photo, squinted his eyes, and took a closer look at the photo. On it was a young man with a somewhat stern face. His eyes were not as gloomy as ordinary wilderness hunters, and then his eyes continued to look down.

After a while, after the old man wrote down all the information, he flicked his fingers lightly, and a dark green flame burned from his finger, igniting the photo in his hand.

Looking at the photo in his hand that gradually burned into black ashes, the old man lowered his eyelids.

"Abyss, it's just a Tier 1 hunter! You just find a gangster in the Iron Chariot and kill them. Why go all the way to Lionheart Castle to find us?"

The Iron Chariot and Lion Heart Fort were not far apart, but not close either. The distance of 300 kilometers was enough to separate the two sides.

Although they are all gathering points backed by the Black Steel Shelter, the relationship between the two parties is not good. The Black Steel Shelter has more people and stronger overall strength, but the strength of the leader Lion King is not as good as that of the Black Steel Shelter. The leader is Ling You.

In order to fight for the ownership of a mine, Lingyou and the Lion King once had a semi-public battle. It was the first battle for the young Lingyou to ascend to the lordship, and he completely defeated the Lion King, a veteran third-tier mechanic.

It was also from that battle that Lingyou gradually gained the title of the most capable person below the fourth level.

It was precisely because of this battle that the momentum of the steel chariot faintly overwhelmed several other surrounding gathering points with more people.

"He is not an ordinary first-level ability user!" The black robe said in a low voice.

"Not only is it a C-level hunter, but it has also awakened the abilities of multiple combat domains. Whether it is attack or defense, it has no obvious shortcomings. Even a second-level ability user cannot deal with him, and there is a wolf standing behind him. Tooth Hunting Squad!"

Wolf Fang Hunting Team!

The old man's expression became serious, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Just like Ling You's strength,

The two hunting teams under her, the Wolf Fang and the Thunder Scorpion, were equally well-known. It wasn't that there were not many powerful hunting teams in the surrounding gathering places, but they were inferior to the Wolf Fang and the Thunder Scorpion.

There are also several hunting teams in Lionheart Fort. The members are all senior third-level ability users. Their individual strength is stronger than that of Spike and Thunder Scorpion, but the strength of joint operations is crushed in all directions.

"What is the relationship between this abyss and the Wolf Fang hunting team?"

"Should be one of the candidates for the Wolf Fang Hunting Team."

"So that's how it is!" The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth that didn't look like humans. "

"Last time, the Wolf Fang Hunting Team suffered a big loss. After several members died, they still haven't replenished their personnel completely. It's really beyond my expectation!"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, and then quickly changed the subject.

"A Tier 1 hunter, no matter how strong he is, can't deal with Tier 2, and Tier 3, are you worried about being found by the Wolf Fang Hunting Team?"

"That's right, in the Iron Chariot, the Spike Hunting Team represents Ling You's will, and no one wants to provoke them."

The black robe nodded, and the eyes under the hood were vaguely strange.

Although the old man quickly changed the subject, he still smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Perhaps it wasn't an accident that the Wolf Fang hunting team was attacked by insects while hunting, but it was the work of the Lion Heart Castle.

"I have accepted this mission, but since this mission involves the Spike Hunting Team, the mission reward will be doubled! And we will only do it in the wilderness!"

People from Lionheart Fort going to kill people in steel chariots will definitely be regarded as a provocation to the steel chariots. Ling You's deterrence is still there, no one dares to do such a stupid thing.

Once Ling You got angry, even the leader Lion King might not be able to keep them.

The black robe was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Yes!"

"If you want to fight Qi Yuan in the wilderness, you only have two chances."

"The first opportunity will appear soon. The abyss should go out to perform missions in the near future, and there are likely to be several members of the wolf fang hunting team."

"If you can't complete the kill the first time, you will probably have to wait for the second chance. The Spike Hunting Team clears the old city's recruitment mission."

"Based on Qi Yuan's relationship with the Wolf Fang Hunting Team and the strength he has shown, after completing the recruitment task of the old city, he is very likely to become an official member of the Wolf Fang Hunting Team. I think an investigator should be more important than an official member. Easy to deal with!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on the old man's face.

"It's just a Tier 1 hunter, it doesn't take two chances, one is enough to send him to hell!"

"Don't underestimate Abyss, let alone treat him like an ordinary first-order!" Heipao snorted coldly.

"This task, the price I set for you is based on the third-level abilities! I suggest that you treat the abyss as a third-level goal, otherwise be careful of capsized in the gutter!"

The old man gave the black robe a disdainful look.

"We are professionals in killing people. Our completion rate for this kind of mission has always been 100%. No mission target can escape our killing!"

"Those gangsters in your Iron Chariot Chariot will tremble with fear from a first-level ability user, which can only prove that they are trash. No one we want to kill with Venom has survived in its entirety!"

"This is the best!" Heipao said calmly.

"According to the rules, I will pay half of the task reward first, and after the task is completed, someone will send you the other half of the reward!"

"Don't worry, you will hear good news soon."

The black robe got up and left. After a while, the old man raised his head and glanced at the detector hidden in the corner of the room, then slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a sullen face opened the door and came in. He sat on the chair that the black robe had just sat on, his eyes shone with green light, like a poisonous snake.

"What do you think of this mission?" The middle-aged man with a pair of green eyes asked.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at him calmly.

"In one day, I received two missions from the Iron Chariot, and the target is the same person. If it is not a trap for us, it means that this abyss may not be as simple as they said!"

The middle-aged man stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips. His tongue was slender and forked, like a cold poisonous snake.

"No matter how powerful it is, it's only Tier 1. Kill a Tier 1 and get two Tier 3 rewards. This task can be done!"

The old man was silent for a moment, and said in a sadly low voice: "This mission is likely to encounter people from the Spike Hunting Team again."

"The Spike Hunting Team is nothing more than that, it's not as powerful as the rumors say!" The middle-aged man showed a cruel smile on his face.

"In the last mission, the boss fought with them and killed three third-tier members of the Spike Hunting Team. Up to now, they still thought that the insect attack was just an accident!"

"No matter how powerful Ling You is, she is only one person. Even if she suspects that we did it, what can she do? How dare she go to war with Lionheart Castle in an all-round way!"

The old man was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"The members of the Spike Hunting Team cannot move for the time being. Although we did not leave any traces in the last mission, the few who survived were all smart people. Someone must have suspected us, but no evidence was found. "

"The Spike Hunting Team deliberately released the news of the old city, which is probably the bait to deliberately lure us to do it."

"Lingyou's strength is a threat we must consider. After the last battle with Lingyou, the Lion King was obviously scared. If Lingyou seized the handle and attacked the Lion Heart Fort, I suspect that the Lion King The king will not offend the steel chariot for us!"

The middle-aged man's eyes froze, and his emerald green pupils seemed to be beating with flames.

"You mean that if Ling You comes to the door, the Lion King will hand us over to appease Ling You's anger!"

The old man remained silent, although he didn't want to exaggerate Ling You's threat at this time, but after that battle, the lion king's attitude towards the steel chariot has changed significantly recently, and he is no longer as tough as before.

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and it took a long time before he said harshly:

"I will go to this mission in person. As long as we solve the mission goal quietly and prevent the members of the Wolf Fang Hunting Team from getting hold of it, they won't dare to do anything to us!"

The old man gave him a deep look.

"Remember what the black robe said, don't treat the abyss like an ordinary first-order! If the abyss is really easy to deal with, they won't come to Lionheart Castle from the steel chariot to ask us to do this business."

The middle-aged man grinned grimly.

"I'm doing things, don't worry! Although I'm only at the second level, I can't even handle my third-level toxin ability users. It's more than enough to kill a first-level ability!"

Three days later.

Xiao Hei looked at the lively Qi Yuan, as if he saw a ghost.

"Have you healed your wound?"

"Of course." Qi Yuan shrugged and said, "My recovery ability is relatively strong."

"With your defense strength and recovery ability so strong, what do you make other Combat Domain ability users think?"

Xiao Hei couldn't help complaining: "I thought the captain's resilience was already strong enough, but compared to you, it's like scum in seconds!"

"Has Liao's injury not recovered yet?" Qi Yuan asked with some surprise.

Liao is a third-level ability user, even without steel self-healing, his recovery speed should be very fast, not to mention, Liao should not have suffered too much injury in the last battle with the sandworm.

"Not yet, but it's almost there." Xiao Hei shook his head.

"The captain broke a rib by an impact from the sandworm, and it will take at least three days to fully recover."

"For your clearing mission this time, the captain originally planned to go to see your melee strength in person, but was persuaded by Sister Luan, so this time it should be me, Sister Luan and Li Zi who will accompany you again."

Qi Yuan grinned, as long as Luan and Lizi were dispatched, the sign-in would be sure.

Needless to say, Luan, who controls the Iron Rose, is considered a strong one among the third-tier, and there is no pressure to hold down two third-tier insect beasts.

Although Lizi does not have the blessing of mechanical weapons, his third-level shadow restraint is very powerful, and there is no pressure to block the third-level at both ends.

This time, the worm beast nests collected this time are the same as the previous two. They are not fully formed. Even if there are third-order worm beasts, the number cannot exceed four, and there may even be no third-order worm beasts.

Xiao Hei's only function is to let Luan and Lizi join the hunt.

The two chatted for a while, and Luan and Xiao Hei also came over.

"Are you going to continue with missions today?" Luan was also a little surprised at the frequency of Qi Yuan's missions.

Qi Yuan smiled.

"Small tasks, with a few more, I will become a C+ level hunter sooner!"

"The C+ level authority of the Hunter Guild should not be important to you now!" Luan said pointingly.

The news that Qi Yuan was treated differently by Master Qu, although only a few experimenters knew about it, they couldn't hide it from Luan, who was also a frequent visitor to Master Qu's laboratory.

Luan was originally only surprised by Qi Yuan's comprehensive abilities in the fighting domain, but as she got more in touch with, she gradually discovered that Qi Yuan is simply a treasure. There are many third-tier hunters, and each ability seems to be very powerful.

Luan and Master Qu have known each other for many years, and they are very aware of the little arrogance in Master Qu's bones.

He has always dismissed those ability users who only know about killing and know nothing about machinery and energy.

For so many years, there are only two capable users of the steel chariot that he can see, one is the leader Ling You, and the other is Fu Qingqing who has entered the shelter. Both of them have awakened the powerful elemental domain and plastic The energy field ability, has solved the difficult problem of the laboratory, so he can make him look at it differently.

Now, Qi Yuan is the third one, and compared to the other two, Qi Yuan is the only one of the first rank.

As a researcher who can be actively invited by the Black Steel Shelter, Master Qu's attainments in mechanical and energy research have already been affirmed by everyone, otherwise he would not have such a transcendent status.

In order to gain the favor of Master Qu, there have been many hunters from the third-order element domain who volunteered to join Master Qu's studio. As a result, they couldn't even pass the most basic examination in the laboratory, but they were kicked out by Master Qu. come out.

Yesterday when I went to Master Qu's studio, Luan was only doing basic maintenance on the Iron Rose, but I didn't expect that Master Qu would take the initiative to inquire about Qi Yuan, and he seemed very satisfied with Qi Yuan in his words, but he didn't elaborate on the reason.

Luan was also curious about how Qi Yuan was able to do it, and got Master Qu's approval just by going to the studio.

This means that even if he does not become a C+ level hunter or join the Spike Hunting Team, Qi Yuan is likely to recommend entering the Black Steel Shelter through the channel of Master Qu

The Black Steel Shelter has no shortage of powerful ability users, but it has always been highly respected for high-level researchers. This can be seen from the status of the biological and mechanical laboratory in the shelter.

A powerful long-range sniper with comprehensive combat capabilities and almost no shortcomings. He can easily kill second-order insects with first-order strength, and has also been recognized by Master Qu.

Only relying on these points, Qi Yuan can be said to have a bright future, and it is very likely that he will successfully enter the Black Steel Shelter, just like Fu Qingqing.

Qi Yuan smiled and didn't explain much. The hunter authority of C+ rank is really not very important, but the talent at the check-in point is indeed a power that must be obtained.

"What weapon did you choose?" Luan asked suddenly.

Qi Yuan hooked his finger, and the beheader flew out of the scabbard at his waist, and fell lightly into Luan's hands.

Luan held the beheader with his backhand, only feeling a sharp chill blowing over his face.

"Good knife!"

Luan is also a person who knows the goods, so he couldn't help admiring.

Luan's fingers slowly brushed over the blade, and she vaguely felt that this knife seemed familiar, and her thoughts suddenly changed, and Luan finally remembered the origin of this knife.

After being silent for a long time, Luan returned the knife to Qi Yuan casually, sighing faintly.

This knife reminded her of that tragic battle. The Wolf Fang Hunting Team almost became history. Although they escaped by chance in the end, three teammates remained in the wilderness forever, and they couldn't even bring back their bodies. .

"Unexpectedly, Master Qu actually gave it to you!"

"With your strength, even if you think about it, you won't humiliate this beheader!"
