13: Devil's Cross
“Kid! You’re finished!” Just as Scarface’s Gatling ran out of bullets, he immediately jumped out.
His face was full of joy.
Without the Gatling, what else could you do?
Li Yao didn’t panic at all after hearing Scarface’s words.
“Finished?”
“Are you talking about me?” As he spoke, Li Yao handed the rocket launcher, which was placed to the side, to the Golden Armor Fire Ape.
Seeing this, the Golden Armor Fire Ape immediately rejoiced.
It took the rocket launcher, then shouldered it and aimed at Scarface’s position.
Scarface: …
He actually forgot that Li Yao had a rocket launcher in addition to the Gatling!
Is this guy a freaking arms dealer?
How could he carry such small-scale firearms? Were the soldiers at the Secret Realm entrance just slacking off?
Click!
As the Golden Armor Fire Ape pressed the button.
The rocket launcher went ‘boom’.
The rocket shot out, blasting towards Scarface’s location.
Seeing this, Scarface was almost scared out of his Divine Soul.
“Gale Hound, run!”
The Gale Hound also sensed the danger approaching and immediately bit its master’s collar, dodging into the distance.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, another Osmanthus Tree fell down.
Meanwhile, Li Yao took this opportunity to pat the Golden Armor Fire Ape’s shoulder.
The Golden Armor Fire Ape immediately understood. With a hint of reluctance, it dropped the rocket launcher and then took Li Yao to escape the area.
After all, Li Yao hadn’t forgotten that he was being hunted by a team, not just Scarface alone.
If it were just Scarface, Li Yao would definitely have fought him head-on.
After successfully dodging the rocket, Scarface cursed angrily, then his communicator rang with Scarface’s voice.
“Scarface, how are things on your end?”
Just a moment ago, he had heard an astonishing explosion not far away.
That didn’t sound like something they could cause.
“That kid is too cunning; he has a lot of treasures on him.”
“Now he’s out of sight again, but the Gale Hound has remembered his Qi.”
“Good, you keep chasing; we’ll be there shortly!”
At the same time, at the scene of the battle.
A drone arrived at the location.
Upon seeing the chaotic situation on site, the soldier responsible for monitoring had a solemn expression.
“Reporting to Garrison Commander, some current conditions have been discovered here.”
“What conditions?”
The Garrison Commander behind the soldier asked in confusion after hearing this.
“According to the drone’s observation, there are signs of hot weapon engagement at the scene.”
Beside them, the curious Li Zun leaned forward to observe.
Ostensibly, within the Secret Realm, only the nation’s military was permitted to carry hot weapons. Everyone else was strictly forbidden from doing so.
Therefore, he was curious as to which audacious individual dared to bring hot weapons into the Secret Realm.
If discovered, wouldn't he face imprisonment?
And also be interrogated about the source of the hot weapons.
However, when Li Zun saw the environment of the scene, he seemed to discover something, and his eyes almost popped out.
What did he see?
A smoking Gatling and a rocket launcher that had already fired its projectile.
He recognized the markings on them very clearly.
These were what he had given Li Yao for self-defense.
But, what he hadn’t expected was that this kid would actually use them in the Secret Realm!
This indicated that Li Yao had encountered danger in the Secret Realm!
And just then, five figures appeared on the drone’s screen.
These five people had unfriendly faces, and it seemed each of them had more or less taken a few lives.
“Quick, aim the camera at these people.”
Seeing this, Li Zun immediately called out to the operating soldier.
The soldier, hearing this, didn’t hesitate and directly controlled the drone to aim at those people.
Upon seeing the attire of those individuals, which somewhat resembled common thugs.
Li Zun’s face, however, became furious.
“Damn it, I didn’t expect them to send people to infiltrate the Secret Realm!”
On those people, especially on Scarface, there was a subtle tattoo on his arm.
That cross-shield-like tattoo was precisely a force Li Zun was familiar with.
The Devils Cross Army.
Li Zun had been dealing with the Devils Cross Army for several decades.
What he hadn’t expected was that, even after he had hidden himself, he was still discovered by this Devils Cross Army.
If he wasn’t mistaken, these guys intended to capture Li Yao and then threaten him.
It must be said, they really played their cards well.
“Guardian of the Nation, what’s going on?”
“I need to enter the Secret Realm.”
“Guardian of the Nation, you are…”
Li Zun’s gaze was fixed on the Garrison Commander. Seeing this, the Garrison Commander could only sigh helplessly.
“Guardian of the Nation, why bother?”
“How about I go in for you instead?”
After all, as the Garrison Commander of Jianghai City, his strength was also Marquis-level.
He was even just one step away from the King-level.
As the Garrison Commander, was there any problem with him entering the Secret Realm?
No problem!
However, even he, upon entering the Secret Realm, would not be able to unleash his Marquis-level Beast Tamer.
Otherwise, once summoned, the Secret Realm, upon detecting a Marquis-level Beast Tamer, would experience repulsion.
In severe cases, it could even collapse.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it was impossible to summon a Marquis-level Beast Tamer.
But, as a Marquis-level Beast Master, he didn't just have one Beast Tamer.
Each major stage meant that one could contract a Beast Tamer.
Marquis-level, therefore, meant he could contract five Beast Tamers!
Li Zun nodded after hearing this.
After he entered the Secret Realm, he had no way to summon his Beast Tamer.
After all, his Beast Tamer’s strength was at least above the King-level.
Once summoned, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance the entire Secret Realm would collapse.
He could only rely on the Garrison Commander in front of him.
“In that case, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yes, Guardian of the Nation!” The Garrison Commander nodded and then walked into the Secret Realm.
At this moment, Li Yao was frantically fleeing within the territory of Zhaoyao Mountain.
He hadn’t forgotten that there was a mad dog chasing him from behind.
If he stopped for even a moment, he would probably be caught directly.
Don’t look at him having many items.
But, dealing with one was fine, and two could be managed.
However, if six came at him all at once, he felt it would be better to just surrender.
“Golden Armor Fire Ape, kill those two exotic beasts in front of me!”
Just then, Li Yao noticed two herbivorous exotic beasts in the distance.
Their strength was at Soldier-Level Five, their appearance like a bighorn sheep, but at their tails, they had two snakes.
Exotic Beast: Snake-tailed Sheep.
However, what puzzled Li Yao was, weren’t Snake-tailed Sheep gregarious animals?
Why were there only two here?
