Chapter 8: The Uncle and Nephew Meet

  With the muzzle of the cannon, Fang Kai had a bit of confidence in his heart. His rationality told him that he should take out the artillery first, after all, it was a long-range destructive attack, and as long as he took them out, Fang Kai could use the killing power and range of the shells to retreat from the riflemen unscathed. Fang Kai counted, there were about eight artillerymen in one row of guards, three firing, three loading, two on standby, and the formation was not to be underestimated.

  Wiping away a bead of sweat, Fang Kai gritted his teeth and launched the first attack.

  He set the pulse cannon to semi-automatic fire, then targeted the gunner and blasted him. Those mechs were intelligent, but after all, their reaction speed was no match for a human. They only saw Fang Ke "being blown up by himself", unexpectedly an incoming pulse cannon shell flew over.

  Caught off guard, two of the gunners were blown to smithereens. However, this also alerted the other mechs that the enemy was not yet defeated. In just one second, the mechs launched a powerful counterattack against Fang Kai.

  First, the remaining launchers fired laser beams at Fang Kai, forcing him to block with his pulse gun. At the same time, five riflemen shot at Fang Kai from five angles. Fang Kai was shocked and quickly used his button spin laser shovel to deflect "bang bang bang" three bullets, but the remaining two bullets hit their mark.

  One bullet grazed Fang Kai's cheek, leaving a blood-red mark; another shot directly at his thigh, opening up a moderate-sized bloody hole. Fresh blood flowed profusely, staining his pants red. Enduring the pain, Fang Kai fired another pulse cannon shell at the artilleryman. The shell burst open like a flower, and this time Fang Kai aimed very accurately, not only blowing the remaining artilleryman to smithereens but also annihilating the nearby rifleman and loader, leaving none alive.

  It was just that continuing on would almost exhaust Fang Ke's strength. To know, now he was injured, if he didn't retreat, let alone infiltrate Tikal City, even staying alive would be a problem. After all, the mechanical people searching the scene were only one batch, if the backup troops behind them came out in full force, Fang Ke would undoubtedly die.

  "It's no use going forward, there are Zorvathians behind me too, where can I hide?" Fang Kai was anxious and didn't want to be killed by the mechanical man, nor did he want to be captured by the Zorvathians. But in this situation, where could an injured person hide? At this moment, Fang Kai couldn't help but wish he had grown wings or a drill on his feet to fly away and escape.

  Wait a minute, flying and escaping? Got it... Fang Kai's eyes suddenly lit up, he thought of the method!

  Under the enemy's intense bombardment, this row of mechanical guards could no longer be considered a strategic force. One by one, they went crazy and charged towards Fang Kai, as if they wanted to tear this human apart in an instant. At this critical moment, Fang Kai activated the "rotation" program on the button-type laser shovel.

  The multi-functional laser shovel is about to show its most primitive side - digging earth.

  In just a few seconds, the laser shovel had gone crazy spinning on its own. Fang Kai was also startled, having never used this function of the laser shovel before, and now using it for the first time, the effect was indeed impressive. A ball of pink light spun around, flipping over the grass, splashing mud into the air. In the blink of an eye, a circular deep pit appeared.

  Fang Kai didn't dare to slack off, and immediately jumped into the deep pit, just avoiding the hail of bullets from the riflemen. Patting his chest, calming down after the shock, Fang Kai immediately took out the pulse cannon, aiming at the mouth of the pit.

  "One, two..." muttering to himself as he counted the speed of the advancing guards, Fang Kai fired another cannon. The silver-white pulse cannon shell did not disappoint Fang Kai, and in an instant, several more riflemen were killed.

  Fang Kai was about to catch his breath when he suddenly felt the ground tremble. His face changed color, and without thinking, he knew that the reserve troops had finally been deployed. "Quick, quick..." Fang Kai urged himself in his heart, while using the laser shovel to dig sideways, and at the same time using the pulse cannon to blast the mud layer near the pit mouth, trying to bury himself and block the guards' line of sight.

  Seeing a glimmer of hope to enter the city, Fang Kai immediately changed his mind. He slightly adjusted the position of the laser shovel and without saying another word, aimed at the side and started digging. After a burst of frantic digging, a tunnel was formed.

  The direction of the ferry is exactly Tikal City!

  It has to be said that Fang Kai's strategic awareness is still very strong. He saw the reserve mechanical soldiers leaving the city and thought of drilling into the ground, then taking advantage of the empty guards in the city to sneak in from underground. Those intelligent mechanical people would never have thought that Fang Kai could turn the unfavorable situation around by putting himself in a desperate situation.

  After about five or six minutes, Fang Kai was lying in the trench when he suddenly heard a faint "rumbling" sound coming from behind. Needless to say, it must be the mechanical guards discovering Fang Kai's pit and using artillery to clear it. But how could they have anticipated that at this moment Fang Kai was already under Tikal City?

  Fang Kei also estimated that it was about time, and immediately raised the laser shovel. Then he himself retreated to one side. Under the crazy work of the shovel, a passage leading to the ground of Tikal City was formed.

  After succeeding, Fang Kai turned off the laser shovel's "rotation" program and retracted the weapon. Then, Fang Kai spread his arms and pushed against the wall of the pit with his palms, slowly climbing up. Finally, Fang Kai emerged from underground.

  After being suppressed for so long, Fang Kai can finally breathe heavily again. Just now in the underground, there was a lack of oxygen and Fang Kai almost suffocated to death. [Note: The Martians are still breathing oxygen. After immigrating to Mars, the Earth's descendants used technology to decompose the dense carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere into oxygen, creating an oxygen-rich environment.]

  However, Fang Kai had just relaxed a bit when a light blue gun was pressed against his temple.

  "Heh heh, young man, digging holes everywhere isn't a good habit." A low but authoritative voice floated into Fang Kai's ears. Fang Kai's face changed color and turned his head to see a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform.

  The middle-aged man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was as if carved out by a knife, with clear-cut edges. Although there were strands of silver hair on his head, the middle-aged man still looked full of vitality, as if he had been fighting non-stop. Upon closer inspection, the middle-aged man's body emitted a subtle aura of a sharp sword, Fang Kai pursed his lips, this middle-aged man was not simple.

  "Tell me, who are you and what's your purpose sneaking into the Holy City?" The middle-aged man smiled as he pressed his gun tightly against Fang Ke's temple, the implication clear: if Fang Ke didn't speak up, the man would kill him.

  When asked by the middle-aged man, Fang Kai smiled and said: "If I say that I came in to take refuge, would you believe me?" Fang Kai gazed at the middle-aged man with an exceptionally brilliant smile.

  One raised eyebrow, the middle-aged man's tone became sharp: "You're not afraid, I'll shoot you with one shot?" The middle-aged man deliberately shook the gun in his hand, as if reminding Fang Kai that he didn't have much patience.

  Seeing this, Fang Kai smiled and said lightly: "If you want to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until I climbed out of the pit?" Fang Kai's words were sharp, he inferred that the middle-aged man must have discovered something was off before he crawled out of the tunnel, and had been waiting in ambush. As soon as his voice fell, a round of applause echoed through the air.

  Fang Kai thought it was a middle-aged man clapping, but it wasn't him.

  "Lord Riven, I think this person has more guts than most. Why not let my nephew recruit him?" Fang Kai was taken aback and turned his head to see a young man about the same age as him walking towards them on a mechanical dragon. Behind the youth was a squad of mechanical soldiers. Clearly, the youth's status was not simple.

  At this time, the middle-aged man burst out laughing and removed the light blue gun from Fang Ke's temple, hugged the young man and laughed: "Long time no see, Adam Kers, how have you and your father been lately?" Although Raven and Adam Kers were laughing very happily, but in Fang Ke's eyes, it seemed a bit strange.

  It seems like this meeting's opening joke has a somewhat mysterious meaning.

  Young Adamks jumped down from the mechanical dragon, then nodded his head. The mechanical guards behind him immediately surrounded Fang Kai, causing the latter to frown.

  Are they going to be manipulated again? Fang Kai sighed silently in his heart, he didn't want to be controlled everywhere. After barely escaping from the Zerg's hands, now they fell into these people with unknown backgrounds, Fang Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

  "Alright, alright. But uncle, your illness isn't serious, is it?" Adamas smiled and looked at Raven sideways. Raven coughed slightly and said slowly, "Thanks to your father's good fortune, there hasn't been anything serious lately."

  "Really? That's great." Adam stepped forward, while Raven took a slight step back. Fang Kei noticed this and thought to himself, "Is there something fishy going on between the two of them?" Otherwise, why would their tone be so strange, it seemed like Adam was pressuring her.

  What's even stranger is that when he saw the young man, Ruiwen's momentum suddenly weakened, and he was like a different person from the one who had just spoken to Fangkai!

  "It seems that this is a family feud, and indeed there's a good show. Suddenly, Fang Kai became interested in the cat's claw, he faintly felt that this might involve a major issue. Such an interesting thing, how could he possibly miss it? Moreover, now that Yu Zi and others have not been seen, and the Zekleians are lurking outside, Fang Kai can only stay in Tikal City. And who knows, he might even discover what Dillan said was "their thing", which is another part of the Crystal Warrior's remains?"

  Thinking of this, Fang Kai decided not to resist anymore, and instead wanted to see what kind of play the two were performing.

  "Ruiwen uncle, the day after tomorrow is the Alliance Convention, you must not be absent at that time." Adamus gave the middle-aged man a meaningful look, then turned and climbed onto the mechanical dragon. He waved his hand, and the mechanical guard took Fang Kai with him, and they disappeared into the streets.

  The middle-aged man, Riven, pursed his lips and gazed at Adam and the others as they departed. After a long while, he clenched his fists, and a strange color flashed in his pupils. Until this moment, the middle-aged man's aura seemed to be returning, once again transforming into an introverted sharp sword.

  Drawn sword kills!
