Chapter 39: Provocation by the Superpower
Chapter 39: Provocation by the Superpower
"Everyone, are you all okay?" Li Chen had not yet taken off his armor. He had just returned to the cabin when he saw everyone on the boat standing there in a daze.
The people in the cabin were still in shock. A tornado hundreds of meters high, such a huge monster, the power of nature, was just resolved by this armored warrior in front of them?
This level of strength is already beyond the ordinary world, and is even on a different level from them.
"Captain...we..." Chen Xiao and 14 other soldiers, three drivers, and two scientific researchers finally came back to their senses after hearing Li Chen's words.
Especially since the two researchers were girls, they were so frightened that they became dazed and weak all over.
"Alright, alright. Chen Xiao, you take the two strongest brothers to keep watch. The others can go and rest. Especially Xue and Yue, they must be scared."
Looking at everyone's reactions, Li Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
After saying that, Li Chen went straight to the rest cabin. Of course, he did take action after the incident. The message had already been sent to Old Chen, Lin Chen and others, but it was hard to say what they could find out.
Then, he activated a Linghe Talisman to warn and detect. Within a radius of 600 meters, as long as an attack was encountered, the talisman would transmit a warning to Li Chen.
"Come to think of it, that sea tornado was definitely not formed naturally, and it was not formed in one go." Li Chen began to ponder as he recalled the previous time when he tried to stop the sea tornado.
There are obvious traces of human manipulation of elemental energy. As the summoner of elemental armor, Li Chen knows this very clearly.
It was precisely because of Li Chen's familiarity with elemental energy and his understanding of the water element as a reward for the previous mission that he detected traces of multiple superpositions and fusions.
Just as Li Chen was thinking about what exactly this attack was about, the voice of the system sounded in his mind.
"Ding, side quest 1 "Frost Past" is released
Mission Objective: Investigate and resolve Antarctic issues
Mission rewards: Bingyan Dan*1, Tianxue Jing*2, skill - Pure Lotus Snow Flower. "
This made Li Chen's eyes light up. It seemed that this was the first time the system had released a side quest, and the rewards were quite a lot.
Bingyan Dan has the effect of strengthening the body and healing wounds, Tianxue Jing is formed by the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth combined with ice and snow elements, and is best used for cultivation, while Jinglian Xuehua is a pure purification skill.
"I feel like the gains from this trip are more than just the mission rewards." Li Chen thought to himself.
A cultivator's intuition or sixth sense often becomes more and more accurate as their cultivation improves. This is a sign that they are more in tune with the world as their life level is elevated.
This is what Li Chen felt at this moment. His intuition told him that this trip would not be easy.
Two days later. On the sea, Li Chen and his crew had already traveled one third of the way on their cruise ship, and were now preparing to dock at an island rest stop midway to rest.
"Captain, we are about to dock." Chen Xiao's voice was transmitted to the rest cabin through the radio.
Hearing this, Li Chen opened his eyes, and after his spiritual sense was activated, he was instantly teleported to the driver's seat.
"Everyone, be on high alert. I'll lead the way. Follow me closely!" Before he finished speaking, Li Chen's figure appeared on the deck at the bow of the ship.
When everyone reacted, they found that there was a white fog in front of them, and they had no vision beyond a hundred meters. Given the size of the cruise ship, it was like they were blind.
"What's going on? Is the radar malfunctioning?!" The driver was horrified to find that the radar could not detect anything, even if the anti-interference device was turned on.
On the sea in front of the cruise ship, Li Chen summoned the Tunaduo armor, used himself as a guide, and began to mobilize wind energy.
“Phantom Thousand Winds!” The force of the hurricane gathered, and the emerald green whirlwind began to continuously blow away the fog, creating a view in front of the cruise ship.
At the same time, Li Chen used all his strength to conduct spiritual detection. With the help of the energy of the armor elements, he could see through the area within a radius of 260 meters, and he could sense most of the area within a radius of 520 meters. With the help of the Linghe Talisman to lead the way, he was able to avoid many dangers.
"Follow the captain." Chen Xiao assisted the three drivers in operating the cruise ship and moved forward along the safe path opened up by Li Chen.
The incident happened suddenly and no one reacted at first. Only now did they realize that the appearance of the fog was so strange.
It wasn't foggy weather or time at all, it was more like a foggy area artificially created here.
Fortunately, with Li Chen in front to open up the vision and lead the way, they did not hit the reefs and icebergs under the sea.
However, even with Li Chen's guidance, they had to be extremely cautious in this environment, and the cruise ship was traveling much slower than before.
It was not until nightfall that they finally saw the sign for the rest stop on the island, and the cruise ship finally docked.
"Alright, everyone, get your weapons ready. Girls, put on your bulletproof vests and helmets. We're not going to take kindly to anyone here."
Li Chen returned to the cabin command room and spoke to everyone.
In his perception, there were three auras looming on the island. Although they were not strong, they were comparable to the mutant beasts and armor.
However, the perception is still very vague. Li Chen probably thinks that the distance is too far. He can use his spiritual sense to detect carefully after he reaches the island.
"Yes, Captain!" Chen Xiao immediately led others to prepare weapons in case of emergency.
Not long after, the cruise ship docked, Li Chen and his group got off the cruise ship and moored it at the port. After paying the mooring fee, they began to look for a place to stay.
Inside the rest stop, there were quite a few people in various stalls and stores, but everyone maintained a tacit understanding and always kept a certain safe distance from others.
This kind of place is on the high seas, but there is no such jurisdiction. If you look closely, you will see that everyone has a lot of stuff in their pockets or in their hands.
Once there is no safe distance, and the gun goes off accidentally, and you are unlucky enough to be lying down, who can you turn to for justice?
"Be careful, and hold on to the amulets given to you. They can save your lives at the critical moment." Li Chen said calmly.
Before getting off the boat, Li Chen prepared a protective amulet for everyone, which could basically block attacks of all levels. He drew this by amplifying the energy of armor, and it was much stronger than a talisman drawn with pure mana.
Even stronger attacks can be partially offset, the effect of the amulet is sufficient.
"Captain, let me go take a look ahead." Chen Xiao volunteered to lead the way.
Li Chen nodded and said, "Go ahead, be careful, and summon armor if necessary."
When on the cruise ship, he gave the Kapo, one of the four armors of the Capture General, to Chen Xiao for temporary use. Although the combat power of the Capture General Armor was not strong, even the Emperor Master Kapo was only at the brigadier level, but it was still no problem to block the gun here.
No matter how weak the Kapo armor is, it is still enough on the island, not to mention the guns and cannons that can break through the defense.
Just as Li Chen and the others were waiting for Chen Xiao's message, something strange happened. They saw a flame rising into the sky from a hotel not far away.
At the same time, a figure flew out from the flames. Others might not be able to see it clearly, but with Li Chen's eyesight, he saw it clearly. It was clearly Chen Xiao wearing the armor of a capturing general.
"Everyone stay on guard and don't act rashly. I'll go over and take a look." Li Chen's figure arrived at the place where the fire was burning in an instant.
Chen Xiao, who was lying on the ground, looked very weak and obviously had been seriously injured.
"Ahem... Captain, they are so strong..." After saying that, the captain removed his armor and Chen Xiao fell into a coma.
Seeing this, Li Chen frowned. It seemed that his intuition was right. This journey would not be peaceful. Li Chen stood up and took Chen Xiao back to the place where everyone was on guard, and then went to the hotel alone.
"Since you're here, there's no need to hide. You can't hide anyway." Li Chen seemed to be talking to himself in the blazing flames.
boom!
A fireball with a diameter of half a meter suddenly attacked him, but it was obviously of no use. A faint black and white light curtain blocked his body. Until the fireball dissipated, not a single hair of Li Chen was hurt.
Bang bang bang!
There was a round of applause, followed by a broken Chinese voice: "Your Excellency is very powerful, and has actually reached the level of an A-level ability user, which is the level of your Chinese Qi Refining Realm. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"
He was a muscular white man with blond hair and blue eyes. His face was as sharp as a knife. He was wearing a light grey short-sleeved sweatshirt and jeans. He was surrounded by flames, as if obeying him.
"Interesting, a Western super-powered person?" Li Chen felt the aura of the man in front of him, probably at the initial stage of the general level.
Converted into the immortal cultivation system, it is the second level of Qi Refining. In this era, those who have transcended the innate realm are considered masters among masters.
But even so, Li Chen did not take him seriously. Even without armor, with his third level of Qi Refining cultivation and many spells and magic weapons, he was much stronger than this guy who could only drive the power of fire.
"What do you think, sir? Join us. By the way, let me introduce myself, Mike Beth, a member of the Jishihui." said the superpower named Mike.
"How's it going Mike, did you get a good harvest?"
"Yeah, Mike, didn't you say you met someone you liked?"
Suddenly, two more white people came to Mike, a thin man and a woman with a charming figure.
The auras of the three people are all around the initial stage of the general level. The strongest is the woman with an enchanting figure, who is at the peak of the initial stage of the general level and has the strength of around the third level of Qi Refining.
"I'm not interested in your Jishihui." Li Chen said lightly.
"Your Excellency looks down on our Jishihui. Do you know that all the strong people who were unwilling to join have disappeared from the world?" Mike said, his tone becoming increasingly cold.
However, Li Chen was not afraid. Even if these three general-level super-powered people attacked together, the strength they could exert would probably be only at the high-level to peak general level.
This was still considered a good cooperation between them. Li Chen didn't take these rookies seriously at all.
"There will always be people blocking my way without blinking an eye. Forget it, let's just take a few days on the boat to stretch our muscles." Li Chen pretended to stretch his arms and legs. He planned to bully a newbie.
