"That's right," Mantis nodded slightly, transmitting, "With our ally Mokara following them, no matter if the World Master Cloud Vine's team stops or changes direction, we can immediately grasp their whereabouts. However…"
Before Mantis could finish, Sarin interjected, "The detector!"
"Yes, the detector." Mantis was a little worried, transmitting, "Mokara's detector is Advanced among ordinary Immortals. I'm just afraid the World Master Cloud Vine's team has an even more Advanced detector."
Sarin transmitted in a deep voice, "That Human World Master's strength is comparable to an Advanced Military Lord-level Immortal, and he has 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine protecting him. His identity is clearly not ordinary."
"The probability of him having a more Advanced detector is not low, but we cannot give up because of that. We asked the master to upgrade the Mechanical Puppet legion precisely to kill that World Master Cloud Vine."
"As long as there's a glimmer of possibility, we shouldn't give up!" As Sarin spoke, his electronic eyes glowed brightly, "The master has expectations for us; we cannot disappoint the master's expectations!"
Hearing this, Mantis transmitted with resolute eyes, "Right! We can't disappoint the master!"
Sarin transmitted, "Mantis, you maintain contact with Mokara. As long as he doesn't lose them, we will continue to advance in the direction of the World Master Cloud Vine."
Mantis nodded, "No problem."
…
In the Universe battlefield, a C9-class Universe spaceship was navigating, and behind it, over a hundred million kilometers away, an E-class biological spaceship was following.
Inside the F9-class Metal Lounge of the C9-class spaceship, Ender's team of Eleven were listening to their captain, Fortress, speak.
"This hunt, we killed one Immortal and seven World Masters, and the estimated value of the spoils of war is 258 Mixed-yuan Units."
Fortress began to distribute the spoils of war. "Lightning Flash and I killed an alien Immortal, and we each received 70% of the spoils. Atlas killed four World Masters and received 20% of the spoils. You all received 10% of the spoils."
After speaking, Fortress paused. Seeing that no one objected, he continued, "Next, choose the spoils of war. Lightning Flash, you go first."
Next, everyone chose cash or exchanged for spoils according to their needs. Since the spoils of war this time were not very valuable, Ender chose to receive cash.
After the distribution of spoils ended, Fortress sighed softly, "I lost a lot of divine body this time. Coupled with the divine body lost in previous battles, my total divine body loss is now close to 9%."
"This is a relatively dangerous number. If my divine body continues to be lost in subsequent battles, once the total loss exceeds 10%, my strength will be affected, and the more divine body lost, the weaker my strength will be."
Finally, Fortress said, "Lightning Flash's divine body loss is also considerable, so to ensure continuous hunting in the future, we need to find a place to rest for a period."
Lightning Flash also nodded at this point, "My divine body loss is close to 7%, which is better than Fortress, but I also need to rest for a period."
"Rest? Great!"
"That's right, although we rested for three months before, it felt like three months passed in an instant."
"Yes, it's good to rest for a longer period."
Hearing this, none of the team members refused; most expressed anticipation for a period of rest.
"Since no one objects, we'll find a nearby place to rest." Fortress said with a relaxed expression, "If we were resting before, we would definitely have to return to the Barracks Base, but now with Atlas here, it's not so troublesome."
"Right." Lightning Flash also nodded with a smile, "With Atlas here, we have almost no opponents in the 03 Area, and we're not afraid of alien teams coming to find us."
The team members also smiled upon hearing this, agreeing with Lightning Flash's words.
Because in the Universe battlefield's 03 Area, most teams are led by Immortals, and there are even Immortals acting alone, so the overall strength of the area is relatively weak.
In the more than a year since Ender joined this team, most of the hostile faction teams he encountered were also led by one Immortal.
Teams of Immortals led by the Demon race royal family 'Thousand-Legged Tick Centipede Clan' Losak, were just passing through on their way to the 02 Area; their encounter was purely bad luck.
Unlike the smiling team members, Ender, although appearing relaxed on the surface, had been secretly paying attention to the Mechanical Race faction team following them.
Seeing no one objected, Fortress said, "Since everyone has no objection, we will find a place to station and rest."
Saying that, he ordered the spaceship to slowly decelerate, while also using the detector to scout the surrounding environment to prevent alien ambushes.
…
Half an hour later.
Inside a planet wreckage with a diameter of 3 kilometers, an F9-class Metal Lounge was embedded within it, and Ender and others were resting in the lounge.
And in the spaceship wreckage over a hundred million kilometers away, the Mechanical Race faction team led by Mokara was monitoring the situation of the planet wreckage where Ender was located through their detector.
Seeing that they couldn't detect the situation inside the planet wreckage, a World Master couldn't help but say, "This Human Spiritwing Clan team is really interesting. Their large detector level is worse than ours, but their miniature detector is comparable to ours."
Another World Master shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. If their miniature detector was comparable to ours, then our large detector wouldn't have detected them."
"Why not? Now our detector can't detect them. Isn't this the shielding effect of a miniature detector?"
"How can you be sure? Are you…"
As the two World Masters spoke, they began to argue due to differing opinions.
"You two shut up!" Mokara roared angrily upon seeing this, "All of you, monitor properly! If you lose the Spiritwing Clan team, I'll let you know what cruelty is!"
"Yes!!"
Seeing their captain angry, the two World Masters quickly nodded in agreement, closed their mouths, and monitored the planet wreckage in the light screen.
…
World Ring.
A light screen was projected in front of Ender, whose body was over forty meters tall. The light screen displayed the scene of Mokara's team.
With a King-level Immortal large detector, every move of this Mechanical Race team could not escape his monitoring.
Seeing that the team had no other actions besides relying on the projected light screen to monitor the planet wreckage, Ender speculated, "Are they waiting for the bounty issuer to arrive?"
"Using the Spiritwing Clan bounty to find my whereabouts, I wonder what strength the bounty issuer has, and if they know I have 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine."
"If they don't know." Ender smiled to himself, "Then when the 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine appears, I wonder what their mood will be."
Thinking of this, he became even more eager for the bounty issuer to arrive. For this, he didn't even tell Fortress and the others the news, planning to tell them when the time was right.
…
Nine Heavens later.
In the Dark Universe.
An F-class Mechanical Race Universe spaceship was traveling at several times the speed of light.
Because the 03 Area is circular, surrounding the 01 and 02 Areas of the Universe battlefield, to get from one side of the 03 Area to the opposite side, one either takes a detour, spending more time, or travels in a straight line through the 01 and 02 Areas to reach the destination.
The team that Mantis and Sarin were in was also at the Pinnacle level in the 01 Area, so they didn't take a detour but directly passed through the 01 and 02 Areas to rush to the location where Ender's team was stationed.
Inside the spaceship.
"Sarin, we will arrive at the World Master Cloud Vine's area tomorrow." Mantis transmitted, "To prevent the World Master Cloud Vine from immediately fleeing upon seeing us, I want to hide in the World Ring first." "You will come forward to hold back the World Master Cloud Vine's 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine, and Nokar and the others will be responsible for getting close."
Mantis said coldly, "And I will be responsible for delivering the final blow to the World Master Cloud Vine!"
Sarin said in a deep voice, "With my 10 Pinnacle-stage Marquis, 1,000 Advanced Marquis-level, and 100 First Order Marquis-level Mechanical Puppet legion, it will be somewhat difficult to hold back the 108 Main Vines. I need your Mechanical Puppet legion's support."
Although the 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine is equivalent to a First Order Marquis-level Immortal, its true combat power can be comparable to an Advanced Marquis-level Immortal.
Note!
It is comparable to an Advanced Marquis-level Immortal, not a Mechanical Puppet!
At the same Realm, 1,000 Mechanical Puppets would find it very difficult to kill an Immortal; more often, they serve to delay and surround.
This is still for Immortals of small size. If fighting Immortals of larger size, the number of Mechanical Puppets required would greatly increase.
"Hmm, that 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine has a massive divine body, so it's indeed difficult to hold it back." Mantis nodded, "I will support you with 8 Pinnacle-stage Marquis and 800 Advanced Marquis-level Mechanical Puppets."
"With the Mechanical Puppets you support, I am ninety percent confident in holding back that 108 Main Vines Cloud Vine," Sarin said confidently, "Unless that Cloud Vine self-detonates, it will absolutely be difficult to break through my Mechanical Puppet legion's encirclement."
"Good!" Mantis nodded, "I will enter Nokar's World Ring now."
After speaking, Mantis handed a World Ring to Sarin, and after a brief discussion, entered the World Ring of an Advanced Military Lord-level Immortal.
…
One day later.
Inside the spaceship wreckage over a hundred million kilometers away from Ender and others.
Mokara said to the World Masters, "Pay attention, Mantis and his team are about to arrive."
"You all have seen the strength of that Human Spiritwing Clan team more or less. Although I don't know why Mantis would put a bounty on them, based on my deduction, those humans are definitely not simple!"
"So, when they engage in battle, you all retreat with me," Mokara emphasized, "Don't hesitate!"
"Understood! Boss!"
The World Masters nodded one after another. They had all witnessed how Mechanical Race powerhouses fought. The dense Mechanical Puppet legion engaging with enemies could easily affect the surroundings.
For World Masters of their ordinary strength, once affected by the battle of Immortals, there was only death!
"Good that you understand."
Seeing his subordinate World Masters nod, Mokara nodded with satisfaction, then focused on the planet wreckage in the projected light screen.
…
World Ring.
"Are they arriving soon?"
Ender sat on the root of the No. 2 sub-tree, which was over a kilometer in diameter, constantly monitoring the Mechanical Race faction team.
After learning the content of their conversation, he thought to himself, "Mantis, from the name, he shouldn't be a Marquis-level Immortal. He's most likely a Pinnacle expert among Military Lord-level Immortals."
"Currently, my detector has not discovered any approaching Universe spaceship. What the aliens mean by 'soon' should still be some time away. It's a good opportunity to inform the captain and the others during this time."
…
Planet wreckage, F9-class Lounge.
The body used by Ender opened its eyes, and its gaze swept across the projected light screen in the lounge, which showed no abnormalities.
Seeing that most of the team members were meditating with their eyes closed, he transmitted, "Captain."
"Hmm?"
Fortress sat cross-legged on a sofa, his dragonfly-like wings drooping behind him. He was somewhat puzzled upon receiving the transmission.
Ender transmitted, "Captain, do you know Mantis of the Mechanical Race faction? He should be a rather famous powerhouse in the Universe battlefield."
"Mantis? Mechanical Race?" Fortress thought carefully after hearing the name, then asked, "Are you talking about Mantis and Sarin's team from the Mechanical Race faction?"
"Mantis and Sarin's team?" Ender asked curiously, "Are they very famous?"
Fortress replied, "Yes, this is a team with considerable fame in the Universe battlefield. It is said that they have directly repelled a Marquis-level Immortal."
"Oh." Ender suddenly understood, "They have directly repelled a Marquis-level Immortal, no wonder they have the confidence to issue a bounty."
Fortress asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask about Mantis?"
"I just heard the alien team talking about him," Ender transmitted in reply.
"Just now? Alien team?" Fortress looked surprised, and after a brief thought, he pressed, "You mean, you detected the alien team's conversation through your detector?"
"Yes," Ender nodded.
"What level is your large detector?" Fortress was curious; he knew Ender had a large detector, but he didn't know its level.
"Marquis-level ordinary," Ender replied, stating the large detector's level several grades lower.
Hearing this, Fortress didn't know what to say for a moment, only sighing inwardly that it was good to have a powerful teacher. Both types of detectors were complete for his outdoor training, and their levels were not low.
"Captain!" Ender transmitted, "I just received news that Mantis's team is about to arrive in this area."
"What?!" Fortress's face showed shock, and he hurriedly transmitted, "Are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
As far as he knew, Mantis and Sarin's team were extremely strong, even considered Pinnacle existences in the 01 Area. How could such a powerful team come to the 03 Area?
"Didn't hear wrong," Ender replied.
Hearing this, Fortress stood up and called out, "Go! We're evacuating immediately!"
The sudden sound startled the team members who were either Cultivating or playing in the Virtual Universe.
"What? Evacuate?"
"Captain, why are we evacuating?"
"Did something happen?"
Seeing the captain suddenly shout 'evacuate,' the team members were all confused, wondering if something big had happened.
Lightning Flash, who was also somewhat puzzled, glanced at the projected light that showed nothing unusual, and transmitted, "Fortress, what happened?"
Fortress transmitted back, his voice very anxious, "Mantis and Sarin's team from the Mechanical Race faction are about to arrive in our area!"
"What? Mantis and Sarin's team are about to arrive?!" Lightning Flash's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he quickly said, "Then what are we waiting for, let's evacuate quickly!"
"It's too late!" Ender said at this moment, "Because…"
