Chapter 277: Chapter 184: Monster Skeleton, Electromagnetic Pulse (Requesting Monthly Votes)_2
Fang Bao shouted anxiously, "What are you trying to do? Let me tell you— we’re students from the Mechanical Main City, and you’re from the Beast Cultivation Main City. You can’t go all-in on us! Fine, we’ll leave if we must!"
While speaking, he grabbed Chen Yizhou and hurriedly pushed through the crowd, bolting toward the rear.
"Brother Chen, we need to go—this guy looks ruthless and merciless. We can’t afford to provoke him..."
Chen Yizhou looked utterly bewildered, unable to react.
"Brother Fang, we have three Vajra Nine Stars; we might—"
"Brother Chen, don’t say another word! This guy’s strength is unfathomable; we can’t fight him. Your safety is the most important thing—hurry up and leave this place!"
"I..."
"Brother Chen, no more! If we wait any longer, it’ll be too late."
Just like that, Chen Yizhou, still dazed, was dragged away by Fang Bao. Seeing this, Gu Bao and the others quickly followed suit.
The situation turned abruptly; watching the Mechanical Main City students flee hastily, Qin Shou halted in his tracks and scratched his head.
Just like that?
No way, did those guys really get scared off?
That was... really sudden.
With the Mechanical Main City students gone, the Four Little Saints rushed toward Qin Shou, cheering loudly.
"Haha, Brother Qin, that move you pulled just now was just too cool!"
"Exactly! Scaring off three Vajra Nine Stars with one kick—spread the news, and you’ll be the man!"
"Of course..."
At that moment, Du Zitong squeezed into the crowd, laughing heartily as he tried to give Qin Shou a hug.
"Hahaha, Brother Qin, we meet again..."
Seeing the enthusiastic hug coming his way, Qin Shou instinctively pulled Wang Sheng in front of him to take the hug for him.
"Haha, Du, what brings you here?" Qin Shou laughed.
Du Zitong hugged Wang Sheng briefly and didn’t seem to mind.
"Naturally, I’m here for the mutant beast. It’s not just me—Brother Jing and the others are here too. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
After all, a mutant beast that can activate fake talents and increase the odds of advancing to the Unbreakable Realm is incredibly alluring to Vajra Realm cultivators like us."
Qin Shou nodded, "How did you guys find this place?"
Du Zitong waved dismissively with a smile, "That wasn’t hard—between the Four Main Cities, nothing stays a true secret."
Pointing at the cave on the mountaintop, he said, "Brother Qin, let’s head in. Don’t scare the ear mice away with that kick of yours."
Qin Shou narrowed his eyes as he stared at the caves.
Originally, his plan was to call a truce with the Mechanical Main City group so they could all explore the caves together—having them scout ahead seemed like a good idea.
But who could have expected Fang Bao to mess things up with good intentions, leading the group away?
Thinking about it, he felt a little regret.
"The caves can disrupt electronic devices. We need to proceed cautiously—if anything feels off, let’s retreat immediately," he said.
"No problem."
The group responded enthusiastically, briefly strategized, and decided to split up.
The caves were too numerous, and moving as one group would be inconvenient—they might not even catch a single ear mouse.
"Alright, Xiao Sheng, the four of you form one team. Xiao Bai, take Xiao Yue and the others; Du, you gather Xiao Rong’s group."
Before long, Qin Shou finished assigning teams.
Du Zitong looked at Qin Shou, "Brother Qin, what about you?"
Qin Shou waved dismissively, "I’m used to working alone—don’t worry about me."
Hearing this, Wang Sheng’s group exchanged strange looks.
Used to working alone?
Then why did you spend so many nights at Dragon Island knocking on Big Sister’s door?
No, wait—it was Big Sister who interrupted your nights, and you never refused.
Thinking about this, they couldn’t help but glance at Leng Wanbai.
...
The group each chose a direction and headed toward cave entrances in four directions on the mountaintop.
As Qin Shou surveyed the scene, noting the caves looked virtually identical, he casually picked one.
Sure enough, it took less than half a minute inside the interconnected caves for the communicator to completely lose signal.
Fortunately, the Sky Me Battle Armor he wore wasn’t affected.
"Buzz!"
The Space Gate opened wide, releasing a swarm of gold-eating insects that flew deeper into the cave.
Next, he released Rein Jia’er, whose communication systems also malfunctioned.
Though functional, they could no longer transmit visuals.
With Beast Cultivation scouting half-disabled, Qin Shou furrowed his brow and recalled Rein Jia’er into the System Space.
The cave was too cramped for large beasts; Qin Shou brushed his waist, golden light swirled, and Emperor Armor replaced Sky Me Battle Armor.
"Buzz!"
With a stretch of his hand, the majestic Space Gate opened again, revealing the massive steel dragon head of Emperor Battle Dragon.
As soon as it exited the Space Gate, the steel armor surrounding Emperor Battle Dragon shifted, transforming into a golden flying vehicle about the size of a motorcycle.
The vehicle featured a dragon-head design up front, stunning in its elegance, with energy jets at the base keeping it floating half a meter above the ground.
Emperor Steed!
Mounting Emperor Steed, Qin Shou revved the throttle; Emperor Steed raced through paths marked by gold-eating insect exploration, a streaking golden flash.
Ten minutes later, the speeding Emperor Steed came to a halt. Behind the red faceplate of Qin Shou’s armor, there was still no sign of ear mice.
Not even a hint of fur.
"Could it be that Chen Yizhou’s intel was wrong?" Qin Shou frowned and rode Emperor Steed deeper into the cave.
The deeper he went, the farther he was from the surface.
Before long, Qin Shou, riding Emperor Steed, plunged into an enormous underground cavern.
The cavern stretched over a hundred meters high, entirely pitch black.
Using the night vision capabilities of his faceplate, Qin Shou surveyed every detail within the cavern.
Flipping his palm, with a faint glow, a tuft of white mouse fur drifted to his hand and settled at his palm.
Well, at least he found some fur.
Gravity-integrated Emperor Armor... all that just for fur...
Qin Shou scoffed, tossing the fur aside, then turned his gaze toward the cavern’s depths at the colossal skeleton embedded in its walls.
The monstrous skeleton stood over fifty meters tall, resembling a tyrannosaurus rex but with an extraordinarily long tail.
From afar, an ancient and primeval aura emanated powerfully.
Raising his brow, Qin Shou flew over to the base of the skeleton.
Its framework seemed almost fossilized; the moment he touched it with his fingers, radiant blue star power seeped into it.
Moments later, Qin Shou shook his head, deeply disappointed.
This skeleton at a minimum belonged to a Nightmare-level Monster—if used for synthesizing monsters, the result would be a terrifying apex creature.
But tragically, the energy within the bones seemed entirely drained by something, rendering it useless to him.
However, on second thought, considering this skeleton was thousands of years old, even if its energy hadn’t been siphoned, there’d hardly be anything left by now.
He circled the cavern and found nothing except bones and mouse fur. Deciding there was nothing else here for him, he prepared to leave.
As he exited the cavern, he suddenly stopped, scrutinizing the skeleton once more with a puzzled expression.
"Something’s strange—this skeleton looks... familiar."
With that, Qin Shou turned away and rode Emperor Steed, vanishing into the cavern.
...
An hour later, despite being guided by markers left by gold-eating insects and avoiding getting lost, Qin Shou still failed to locate a single ear mouse.
His unease about the situation grew.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the tunnel quivered slightly; faint light emerged in the darkness ahead.
"Is that...?"
Qin Shou was startled, barely having a chance to react before the faint light traveled rapidly along the walls of the tunnel at unimaginable speeds, streaking past him and disappearing from view.
"Uh..."
The next moment, the energy efficiency of Emperor Steed’s rear thruster sharply deteriorated—no matter how Qin Shou tried to control it, its speed refused to pick up.
What truly shocked Qin Shou was that his Emperor Armor also grew heavier; its integrated mechanisms slowed down, and the faceplate’s night vision intermittently failed.
"What on Earth is happening?"
With a grim expression, Qin Shou released Big Big Wolf to inspect the armor’s anomalies.
After a brief inspection, Big Big Wolf stroked his chin and speculated aloud.
"Dear Master, judging by your description, that energy glow earlier might have caused significant electromagnetic pulses which disrupted your electronic equipment."
"Electromagnetic pulses?"
Qin Shou instinctively reached for his chin, then noticed Big Big Wolf mimicking the same action, prompting him to lower his right hand.
Of all things to imitate, why that? Looks like I’ll have to enlist Red Tai Lang to help you kick that bad habit!
