118: Chapter 118 The Figure Before the Floor-to-Ceiling Window

"Screech!"

Amidst the harsh clashing of metal, sparks flew.

Chu Hong rolled fiercely underneath, borrowing the force of the collision and confrontation between the source blade and the opponent, and finally managed to put some distance between himself and the humanoid killing machine radiating icy murderous intent right before him.

Ke Xiaoken's thick tentacles suddenly snapped out, its mouthparts and suckers sharp enough to tear apart steel, but right now, in the face of the opponent's two slender katana swords...

they were like mere blocks of tofu.

With two "squish" sounds, the tentacles were instantly severed.

[Writing up to this point, I hope readers remember our domain name, the top choice for Taiwanese web novels k-a-n.c-o-m, super reliable.]

"Swish, swish, swish"

Amidst a faint wave of energy, under Chu Hong's astonished gaze, the optical material on the body of the Palino Group Stalker, which originally had only a single figure, actually rippled with an invisible wave.

Following that...

right in front of Chu Hong, three identical-looking Stalkers unexpectedly appeared out of thin air.

"Damn! Optical clones?!"

Veins bulged wildly on Chu Hong's forehead, and he no longer held anything back.

With a "crack" sound amid violent thunder, the Thunder Horned Dragon appeared out of thin air beside Chu Hong with a roar, its massive dragon tail violently whipping around.

"Bang!"

Watching the Stalker flying backward in mid-air...

Hit by the Thunder Horned Dragon's attack, its body was wrapped in electric arcs as Ke Xiaoken instantly extended two more tentacles, tightly binding it and dragging it right in front of Chu Hong.

"Crack!"

Amidst the sound of metal being pierced and bursts of electric arcs and sparks...

Chu Hong directly pierced the opponent's head with a single blade.

And the very instant the latter was dealt with, those optical clones that had rushed in front of him also vanished amidst a distortion.

Chu Hong: "... Isn't this sneaky?!"

He panted slightly; dealing with those ordinary soldiers at the outer outpost just now had consumed a significant amount of his source energy.

Now, in order to deal with this shield soldier and Stalker, Chu Hong's Qiyuan Realm stage six source energy was gradually starting to run dry.

He took out an omega venom stimulant from the source energy space.

With a single injection, the source energy in his body that was just about to dry up quickly recovered.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Hong finally turned his gaze to the small golden item he had looted from the Palino Riot Shield Soldier earlier.

[Palino Riot Shield Soldier TPM Chip]

Indeed!

Chu Hong was overjoyed and immediately activated the special effect of the brain domain reading device display case. With a "crack", the small gold chip in his hand shattered into pieces.

A constantly fluctuating security key of the Palino Riot Shield Soldier immediately appeared in Chu Hong's mind.

"Now, as long as I encounter these guys later and instantly input the security key, the shield soldiers and hammer soldiers in the entire map won't bother me anymore..."

Chu Hong was delighted, and finally turned his gaze back to the Palino Group Stalker before him with its head split open.

Searching [Palino Group Stalker]: ...

The search black box appeared.

A two-by-two four-grid, a one-by-two two-grid.

The search icon spun.

Chu Hong's pupils shrank slightly as he looked at the electronic device in his hand, which was no thicker than an ordinary finger and shaped like a battery. He hadn't expected that these robots could not only avoid being perceived by source energy...

and evade the scanning effect of the cobweb brain-computer interface display case...

but also possessed the ability to self-detonate.

Thinking about the close-quarters combat between himself, the shield soldier, and the Stalker just now, if the controller behind the scenes had reacted fast enough, he probably would have already been sent right back to the Special Service Department on the spot.

"Damn it, there are traps everywhere..."

Chu Hong put the items into his inventory. It was just a pity that he couldn't loot the expected Stalker key chip.

However, even so, no longer needing to worry about hammer soldiers and shield soldiers suddenly getting in his face, and possessing the "Transparent World", Chu Hong naturally felt full of confidence.

Utilizing cover such as the pile of rocks at the entrance...

The moment the sniper responsible for guarding on the huge, thick wall looked away, Chu Hong immediately rushed into a guard duty room on one side of the front gate.

"Mmph!"

Amidst a painful whimper, Ke Xiaoken instantly used its tentacles to cover the mouths and noses of three soldiers.

With a hard twist...

their necks were snapped on the spot.

Then, under Chu Hong's eye signal, the tentacles nimbly began to climb, quickly crawling directly onto the guard watchtower above the gate at this moment.

With a "swish" sound, four or five tentacles instantly extended from beneath the ladder.

The sniper on the watchtower didn't even have time to put up any resistance before being instantly pinned and killed on the watchtower by Ke Xiaoken.

When Chu Hong climbed up, the general situation inside the entire Parino Valley Base was instantly clear at a glance.

Searching [Palino Armed Sniper]: ...

A one-by-two item appeared: [Dustproof Mask (Blue)].

Chu Hong glanced at the surrounding soldiers who were still over a hundred meters away and hadn't noticed the abnormality here yet, as his gaze just swept toward the vast main building area in front of him.

When he raised his head to look at the top floor of the main building, his pupils couldn't help but shrink instantly.

I saw that right in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the direction of the current gate...

a black figure stood there with hands behind their back. Although it wasn't very clear, Chu Hong could almost be certain...

that person was looking at him!
