Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 751: Section 746 - Southern Army Camp

After releasing the laser beam, Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu hopped into the small bird nest that Chen Fei had taken out, nestled down, closed its eyes, and soon curled up into a ball of feathers.

No one else came knocking, and the little bird slept soundly.

"Jiu!~"

Every so often, a soft chirp sounded, like the murmuring in a dream.

The intelligence that cost fifteen million Star Yuan seemed to be worth the price. The "Holy Blood Guild" did not withhold any information despite the location being the headquarters of the Rebel Army Southern War Zone. In comparison to the intelligence provided by the Bislan Dynasty Security Department, this purchased report was more detailed and included the latest updates until the day before.

The "Holy Blood Guild" even considered the need for action against the intelligence targets, thoughtfully adding several professional analyses; it included suggestions for assassinations and forceful attacks, though their feasibility wasn't assessed. Still, they held some value as references.

...

The next morning, Chen Fei was awakened by the deafening sound of knocking (or rather, smashing).

Unlike the hesitantly hesitating, shy tapping of the young lady the previous day (what a pity her character collapsed later), it sounded more like they were preparing to break in.

Click! Bang!~

Half the door flew in, crashing heavily on the floor.

Ah, real 'breaking in'!

Chen Fei blinked.

A group of fully armed soldiers rushed in.

What is this new maneuver?

Could it be that they're not inviting me, but planning to forcibly conscript me?

The customs of Sun Domain City sure are interesting!

One of the soldiers was holding a mobile phone; his gaze shifted between Chen Fei's face and the phone screen a few times as if confirming something.

"Are you Chen Fei?"

"Uh... Yes, I am. What's the matter?"

He didn't change his name or sit under an alias; Chen Fei was not some incredibly important person whose name would spread far and wide, so he always used his real name in disguise.

Lying with the truth is guaranteed infallible, taught by a bald monk named Miyoshi (who's considered a master when paid, a bald monk when not).

The soldier, clearly the leader of the group, immediately spoke with no courtesy, "Commander Bartona would like to see you."

Clearly not a mistake, they came with a clear purpose.

"Alright! Could you please wait a moment?"

Chen Fei could only get out of bed.

Seeing these soldiers, he knew it was the retribution for yesterday—a warning from the Bislan Dynasty Security Department's Investigative Agents. He hadn't expected them to come so soon.

The bastards at the "Holy Blood Guild" had indeed sold his intelligence to the Rebel Army Southern Warzone Headquarters before he could even make a move.

Lucky he didn't foolishly pay a hundred million Star Yuan to hush them up. For the money-eyed Mercenary Guild, there's nothing they won't sell if the price is right.

In this regard, the military contractors of Blue Star were more shame-faced than the guilds of Cangqiong Star, always showing some restraint in their conduct.

In the bird nest on the bedside table, Little Bird still curled up, sleeping hazily, Its defenses entirely down with Chen Fei around; even the group of soldiers barging in couldn't wake it.

The soldiers remained silent, collectively maintaining their salute, surrounded in a way that left no escape even with wings.

Chen Fei took it as their agreement, and went about brushing his teeth and washing up, and changed his clothes all on his own. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"Alright, let's go!"

Chen Fei pulled the little bird out of its nest and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Jiu?!"

The little fellow finally woke from the disturbance, chirping discontentedly as it poked its head out of the pocket, curiously peering around.

"Please wait a minute."

The leading soldier suddenly grabbed Chen Fei's left hand and deftly removed a bracelet that seemed to be an Alchemical Artifact, tucking it into his own pocket, before speaking again.

"All set!"

Everything went as both parties expected.

Although the big-shot Louis Landon wasn't present, he was strategically operating from beyond this plane, not without cost, but it ultimately paid off.

Others might think the bracelet was a Space System Alchemy Storage Device, but who would have guessed it was actually just a decoy to attract attention?

Unless they chopped off Chen Xiao'er's claws, no one could stop him from accessing the vast storage space linked to the "Spatial Branding."

Encircled by a group of armed soldiers, Chen Fei walked through the corridor and saw the young lady from the day before; she appeared delicate but was fiercely independent inside, skilled in making a scene, cursing, and smashing doors.

Noticing Chen Fei's gaze turning towards her, the young woman clenched her fists tightly, biting her teeth in frustration as she harshly flipped him off.

Seeing the reaction of the opposing alley cat, Chen Fei smiled, blinked an eye at her.

"Date?"

Date?

Date your big-headed ghost!

The young woman didn't catch on for a moment, but her companions' faces changed simultaneously.

Damn, things are about to get bad!

"Lulisa! Get back quickly!"

By the time they thought to warn her, it was already too late.

The leading soldier waved his hand.

"Take them all!"

Several soldiers instantly charged forward, one for each, pressing the onlooking mercenaries to the ground and swiftly securing them with specially crafted handcuffs.

These mercenaries dared not resist; they obediently let their ability to move be restricted. The Elemental Energy in their bodies went out of control, their bodies emitting sporadic, flickering lights that eventually dispersed into the air.

Those special handcuffs contained materials that drove away Elemental Energy, making it impossible for War Professionals to concentrate their Battle Qi, for Spellcasters to invoke Elemental Energy, and even suppressed and disturbed spiritual power. Even Psychic Power Users were reduced to the level of ordinary people.

Seeing that even spectating could bring about calamities, the guests watching in the corridor hurriedly closed their doors and didn't dare to show their faces, fearing they'd be dragged away as well.

"Holy shit, what the hell! Have I offended you...?"

Lulisa, the young female mercenary who wasn't spared, had her hands handcuffed behind her back the first moment and immediately turned on her scolding mode, glaring at Chen Fei who was still surrounded by soldiers, spewing all kinds of mean words.

"Who asked you to flirt with me? Blame me?"

Chen Fei responded with an indifferent shrug of his shoulders.

If there's any grudge, take the opportunity to settle it on the spot; there's no waiting ten years.

The grinding of Lulisa's teeth was almost audible.

The only one who kept ranting was the female mercenary; her companions, however, hung their heads like sick chickens, utterly dejected and silent.

At this point, protesting was futile and resisting even more so; better to save some energy and think about how to get through this ordeal.

Outside the hotel, two large trucks and several armed armored vehicles were parked, stuffing Chen Fei and the group of mercenaries into them.

The convoy headed unobstructedly out of Sun Domain City and drove straight to the suburbs.

The headquarters of the Rebel Army Southern War Zone was located within a large military camp; taking the head among ten thousand troops required the "Element Annihilation Bombs" to roam free, but Chen Fei had no intention of really throwing Element Annihilation Bombs to cut corners.

The reasons he held back were partly because it could easily harm himself, and partly because he didn't want to get involved in Cangqiong Star's civil war.

Being merely a nobody from Blue Star, without power, status, or stakes, meddling in another country's civil war was like tying a high-voltage line into a knot to make reincarnation fancier. Blue Star Sovereignty would definitely haul him back at the earliest, lock him up for a few years to cultivate his behavior and character.

Chen Fei's real opponents were the Parasitic Species. Coming to the southern region of Zhai Liuzhou continent had a touch of vengeance, surely, but his primary aim was still to assess the activity level of the parasitic species here.

From leaving the station at Sun Domain City until now, the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had marked the count of parasitic hosts that Chen Fei encountered, and it had already exceeded three digits. Aside from the full-host town in the eastern part of the suburbs of Nandu City, this place was almost an epidemic area for the parasitic species.

Chen Fei simply couldn't understand why the Commander of the Southern War Zone, Bartona, still adamantly rejected the suggestion for self-inspections. His attitude and reactions made it clear there was something amiss here, so Chen Fei came over to stir things up and see if there really was any "silver" as the saying goes.

Escorted by multiple armored vehicles, the two big trucks stopped in front of a grandiose palace-style building which was their final destination.

The exterior was a grayish yellow, exposing large and small rough pebbles, as if the mightiest of constructions was built with the coarsest materials, dotted with several Gothic-style sharp towers, the highest of which was about a hundred meters tall.

Without a single visible brick, it seemed as though it was all cast out of concrete, making Chen Fei feel something was off but couldn't quite put his finger on what.

"This Rock Palace was built jointly by ten Earth Element Law Masters using spells; it's also a sacred place for the training of Earth Element Users, get off the truck!"

Seemingly guessing what Chen Fei was thinking at that moment, the soldier leading him took the initiative to explain.

Chen Fei could immediately read between the lines of what the other party implied.

It wasn't just an explanation; it was also a warning, highlighted by the keywords "ten Earth Element Law Masters", Law Masters of Heavenly Order.

Anyone considering any mischief had better think about the presence of these Heavenly Order beings here first—both in terms of ranks and numbers, it sounded rather intimidating.

Only Chen Fei, this leading soldier, and seven or eight other soldiers got off the truck in front of this Rock Palace. The implicated mercenary squad wasn't let off but was taken elsewhere.

These soldiers were not fools either; they could tell Chen Fei was trying to deflect trouble onto others, but whether there were dates or not, it was better to beat with one stick first, so they simply brought everyone over.

"Is Bartona inside?"

Chen Fei withdrew his gaze from the palace building, turning his head to look at the leader beside him.

The leader wasn't a parasitic host, and to be precise, none of the soldiers escorting him here were parasitized.

Mutated Parasitic Spawn often show individual differences; a minority can appear completely normal, even more cunning and smart.

But most of the spawns tend to have defects in intelligence and emotional intelligence, making it easy for others to notice the abnormality. Most parasitic hosts that Chen Fei captured in Nandu City belonged to this category, thus they weren't of much value.
