Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 1442 - 177: A Wok

Capítulo 1442: Chapter 177: A Wok

Crunch, crunch.

Each step sank alternately deep and shallow into the snow.

Mu Fan walked up to the mountainside that had been vertically sliced by the giant blade wheel and pulled out the curved light scythe blade embedded in the ground.

Not a trace of attention was given to the sniper’s corpse.

Redemption Fifth Stage, one strike, all kill.

As the gunfire ceased, the cold snowy slope fell into silence.

Beneath the vast blue sky, only Mu Fan and Lu Qingxue remained.

This group had vastly underestimated the power of the War Armor Dragon Rider, but their fundamental mistake was not knowing what the Dark Holy Hall was; they had no idea the true significance when that curved light scythe blade appeared!

It represented the ultimate killing weapon from another dimension.

Thus, when Mu Fan charged up the snowy slope, it was already their death sentence.

His indifferent gaze swept across the ground; at least two people had pulled out signal flares.

However, they had not anticipated his speed, so they had no time to pull the triggers before they died.

“Just now, you… got hurt?”

He heard the light footsteps behind him, and then Mu Fan felt his arm being pulled backward. Suddenly, he was met with those limpid eyes like autumn water.

These eyes, however, weren’t looking at his face but were carefully inspecting his chest, especially lingering over the half-fist-deep bullet mark.

“The armor blocked it, I’m fine.”

Mu Fan grinned, patting his chest carelessly to indicate he was in good health.

Lu Qingxue pursed her lips, looked up, and instead of smiling as Mu Fan intended, looked at him with unusual seriousness: “Next time, you absolutely can’t do this.”

For no apparent reason, Mu Fan felt a pang of guilt. He could feel the seriousness in Lu Qingxue’s words, and could even guess the meaning behind them, so he finally dared not be careless and nodded vigorously to reassure her.

“We should not be far from the target now; from this moment, stick closely to me.”

Mu Fan raised the inverted scale in his hand, and the heat was becoming more intense.

He had a premonition that they would soon encounter the other competitors for the ruins.

Stowing away all his ghost energy, and after quickly consuming a few compressed biscuits, Mu Fan felt his physical strength rapidly recovering. He looked up in the direction indicated by the inverted scale and continued onward.

…

…

What Mu Fan didn’t know was that around the vast central snow mountain, the beams of light had become somewhat frenzied, doubling in speed from before.

It was truly a veritable meat grinder now.

Many explorers who failed to enter the snow mountain area in time found themselves transformed into ice sculptures, corroded into bones, or incinerated into black ash by the crisscrossing beams.

Only a few fortunate ones were grazed by a green light, narrowly escaping death.

Yet, there were exceptions.

For instance, a giant fat man over 2 meters tall, at this moment carrying on his back a skinny person who wasn’t even a third his size, was jogging in an extremely proper manner.

The myriad beams of light posed no threat to them.

It wasn’t that the giant fat man had an extraordinarily agile pace; on the contrary, he had been running in a straight line from start to finish.

Li Xiaoxi lay on William’s shoulder, scared out of his wits and unable to lower his arms.

Because he was holding up… a shiny big pot with both hands!

The diameter of that pot was close to two meters.

Li Xiaoxi was gritting his teeth to hold it aloft.

The dense beams fell onto the surface of the pot, reflecting off as if striking a mirror.

This was what guaranteed the safety of the two beneath the pot surface.

“How much farther?”

William asked in a muffled voice, with sweat beginning to seep from his forehead.

This running was mentally exhausting.

His steps couldn’t be too quick or too large.

If he accidentally stepped out beyond the pot’s coverage…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Xiaoxi strained to look ahead, seeing through the dense beams an increasingly close mountain range, at the foot of which was a… canyon!

“About five hundred meters.”

“Okay.”

William responded in a muffled voice, continuing to run earnestly.

He was thankful to have found such a pot.

Completely constructed of metal, all silver-white, looking robust and substantial.

The perfect curvature surprisingly fit his oversized spatula.

But the pot had one minor flaw: the two handles weren’t welded outside, but seemed to be cast as one piece on the inside edge.

Handles facing inward. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

As the head chef of Shadow Island, William found it hard to accept a wok in such a configuration.

Apart from its material and this flaw, what surprised him most was that this pot could actually block the beams.

If not for this function, they would indeed be in grave danger.

They likely would have already perished under the beams.

Upon previously climbing a hillside, they had noticed the golden light curtain connecting the heavens and earth behind them was shrinking inward.

This unusual occurrence was undoubtedly an ominous sign.

Coupled with the chaotic beam arrays, it was easy to deduce that the ruins were forcibly contracting their scope.

There is no doubt that being hit by the beam means certain death, let alone that massive light curtain.

“William, this pot is a real lifesaver. If you hadn’t found it, we would have been in real danger.”

The fat man chuckled twice, though the direction of the pot was off, he was quite satisfied with this find.

The material of this pot is so special, it should be good for cooking…

For now, let’s just survive.

Thud, thud, heavy footsteps rhythmically stepped forward.

Five minutes later, the two finally stepped into the canyon.

All of a sudden, the beams of light disappeared.

“Phew…”

The two simultaneously let out a gasp.

Li Xiaoxi slid off William’s back, threw down the big pot, and desperately rubbed his own shoulder.

By the end, he was holding on purely by willpower.

God knows how he managed to hold that pot for a full three hours!

His arms are now swollen like wood.

William picked up the “fry pan” and, once Li Xiaoxi had recovered, the two accelerated their pace forward.

Now, the ruins were forcing them to run forward.

The final way out must be ahead.

Mu Fan, he should be there too.

Right now they urgently needed to see the core of their team.

“Everyone will surely meet safely.”

Amid Li Xiaoxi’s muttered prayer.

An intersection appeared ahead in the canyon, where three paths seemed to converge.

Running at the front, William was already lifting his foot, about to step into the canyon, when a dazzling blade shadow suddenly flashed from the upper left.

It was a heavy cleaver with a blade back as thick as a finger.

Holding the knife was a man wearing a liquid metal battle suit, one of his eyes had been transformed into a mechanical eye, but due to energy cut-off, that crystal eyeball was completely hollow and colorless.

Yet the remaining eye did nothing to hinder this knife’s ruthlessness!

The blade sliced through the air, creating two waves of white air.

Under the man’s fierce chop, even an Iron Man could be cleaved in two.

Clearly, in the ruins, it was hard to coexist peacefully.

Li Xiaoxi, with his already exceptional eyesight, suddenly shouted in alarm: “William, be careful!”

William sensed something wrong at that moment.

But his body was bulky, speed was his weak point, and there was no time to dodge in that instant.

So what he could do was, hold tight to the big pot, as a mountain-like power burst from his muscles, swinging his arm around and smashing forward with a loud bang.

“Tsk.”

The assailant’s [Mechanical Eye] let out a cold snort from the nasal cavity.

It was undisguised ridicule.

This heavy cleaver named [Broken Army] was something he had procured with a large sum from the Hinchlo Business Alliance, and in the Outer Domain Galaxy, countless souls had fallen under this knife.

Even armored giant rhinos could be beheaded by him in one strike.

This fat man was too bulky, he definitely couldn’t dodge.

So, he was confident that the ambush would succeed.

In the treasure-hunting road, the fewer opponents, the better.

Besides, the paths ahead converged into one, if the opponent didn’t die, then who would get ahead!?

With a ferocious look in his eye, [Mechanical Eye] raised his hands high, striking down furiously.

Any obstacle is…

Futile!

Especially when it’s just…

Hmm? A pot?

The shiny pot bottom reflected his own image.

Is this some kind of joke?

[Mechanical Eye] found it tiresome to show any other expression, he swung the blade down heavily.

“Decap—itation—”

In his cruel and excited shout, the blade crashed into the pot bottom with a loud bang.

Buzz!

Brilliant sparks surged forth.

Like a bolt of lightning blossoming in the canyon.

The shock rendered Li Xiaoxi at the rear dizzy, his vision filled with a golden light.

He sat down heavily, in his sight, the figure that had ambushed and struck was sent flying at twice the speed…

Blasted away!

Boom!

[Mechanical Eye] along with the knife crashed heavily into the rock wall beside them.

Amidst the flying gravel, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The remaining left eye was filled with disbelief.

“Im…possible.”
