86: Chapter 86 Isn't your change a bit too fast?

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Mo, having adjusted his state to its peak, opened his eyes.

"Don't speak!"

Su Qingyue covered Chen Mo's mouth and took out her wristband to glance at it.

"It's early morning now. Those slaves are all resting, with only a few left to continue adding fuel."

"This is the best time to act. We can take advantage of the night to increase our chances of escaping!"

Chen Mo nodded, and both of them stopped talking, moving quietly as they began to climb upward.

Above, a few slaves were chatting idly.

They didn't notice that two figures had already appeared behind the energy crystals.

"Should we... kill them?"

Looking at those emaciated figures, Su Qingyue, as a woman, couldn't help but feel a flicker of a bleeding heart that shouldn't have been there.

"Do you think an Abyss Warrior would spare ordinary people?"

Chen Mo frowned; if Su Qingyue had this kind of personality, he would really have to consider changing partners.

As a warrior, one can have compassion, but one must absolutely not be a bleeding heart.

"Sorry, that's my fault."

Su Qingyue took a deep breath, feeling that her previous thought was so ridiculous.

That's right, would an Abyss Warrior spare the ordinary people of Blue Star?

This is a life-or-death struggle; it absolutely cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of mercy.

"I'll do it; you help me keep watch."

Chen Mo scanned the surroundings and found that apart from the two guards at the door, only these few slaves were present.

Those two guards were only second-rank; he could easily deal with them.

Chen Mo's lower legs suddenly contracted, and the sound of metal grinding against metal rang out in the previously quiet air.

Bang!

Chen Mo appeared behind the two guards in an instant, his forearms simultaneously compressing—super-compressing!

Splat!

A pair of hands larger than heads grabbed the guards' heads, and with absolute, violent force, instantly crushed their skulls like rotten watermelons!

The few slaves hadn't even reacted yet, staring in terror at Chen Mo, whose hands were covered in blood.

The next moment, three energy crystals flew out, directly smashing three of the four slaves into pieces.

The last remaining slave wanted to scream, but Su Qingyue covered his mouth, forcibly stifling his breath.

Their actions had caused some commotion, but next to the relic that was burning fiercely, such noise wasn't out of the ordinary.

"Chen Mo, why did you leave one alive?"

Su Qingyue frowned and reached out, intending to twist the neck of the slave in her hands.

Chen Mo was right; there was no need for any mercy or sympathy for the alien race; just killing them all was enough!

"Stop! Keep one to ask about the situation."

Chen Mo reached out to stop Su Qingyue's action; if he hadn't proactively left one alive, everyone here would have been dead just now.

"You can understand the Abyss language; you talk to him."

"Just ask him what this thing is, what it's used for, and how to destroy it!"

Su Qingyue nodded, and the doubts in her heart vanished.

Su Qingyue grabbed the slave's chin and punched him in the stomach.

This blow was not light; the slave immediately showed pain and spewed out all the coarse grains in his stomach.

The two talked for a while, and Su Qingyue frowned and twisted the slave's neck.

"Nothing useful was asked; he only knows that this thing requires adding energy crystals according to a pattern, and it must never be extinguished."

"The amount added each time also matters; someone was thrown in and refined because they added the wrong amount before."

The two looked at each other, estimating that they didn't have much time left.

Footsteps were already coming from the end of the corridor, most likely the guards coming to change shifts.

Furthermore, the footsteps were very complex; it didn't seem to be just two people, but four or five.

"Quick, fill the energy crystals inside!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo picked up a large pile of energy crystals and stuffed them into the furnace.

The high temperature scorched Chen Mo's skin, but he seemed to feel no pain, his movements showing no sign of stopping.

"No, the people have arrived!"

Blue light flickered in Su Qingyue's eyes; if they continued at this speed, it was inevitable that they would be discovered!

"I'll go deal with them; tell me how to kill them with the least amount of noise!"

Chen Mo put down the energy crystals in his hands, his leg muscles compressing, ready to spring into action at any moment.

Su Qingyue looked at the closed door and began to count down silently.

"Three."

"Two..."

"Now!"

At Su Qingyue's command, Chen Mo charged out without the slightest hesitation.

His flexibility was extremely poor, but that didn't mean his straight-line sprint was slow!

The moment Chen Mo rushed out, the door was roughly pushed open, and the person who pushed it was babbling curses.

But the next second, they couldn't curse anymore, because Chen Mo slammed into them like a high-speed train at full velocity.

With a dull thud, the few people at the door were almost instantly smashed into fragments by Chen Mo, with only one figure flying backward, vomiting blood.

Chen Mo had no intention of stopping; he grabbed the lower leg of the figure that had flown out, slammed it against the ground several times, and then brought it back.

He casually gathered the surrounding flesh and blood, closed the door again, and only then did Chen Mo have the time to look at the appearance of the person in his hands.

"It's her!"

Su Qingyue's pupils constricted, and she let out a small exclamation, pointing at the Gray-skirted woman Chen Mo was holding like a rag.
