Chapter 1018 - 1004: Wild Dash Across the Wasteland
Baiyu left the base.
Even though he had already intervened twice at this base and killed many mechanical insect swarms, the base still had no future.
Under the massive offensive of the Mechanical Race.
Unless the Imperial Army's support arrives in time, survival is absolutely impossible.
Baiyu's challenge.
Was to hold out on Wood Iron Star until the Imperial Army arrived.
This also indirectly proved that the upcoming offensive on Wood Iron Star would be extremely terrifying, making the planet uninhabitable.
Baiyu rode his motorcycle and left the base.
Although Arnold was pleasantly surprised by Baiyu's appearance, he also understood that not everyone would stay in the base.
Those still inside the base.
Were basically soldiers who couldn't leave; if they left the base, they would die faster.
An expert like Baiyu, with independent abilities, could survive outside even alone, and most of them had long gone.
Otherwise.
Arnold wouldn't be the overall commander of the entire base.
As for the news of Baiyu's departure.
Arnold didn't tell anyone else to avoid causing unnecessary panic. When Baiyu was here before, he gave hope to many in the base; if news of his departure spread, it would only lead to more despair.
...
The climate on Wood Iron Star is very different from Canglan Star.
Even at night.
The temperature is extremely high.
Roughly estimated, it's at least forty degrees.
In such terrifying temperatures, even wearing thin clothes is unbearably hot, let alone Baiyu who was covered head to toe.
In such circumstances.
Baiyu could only rely on his Blood Qi to maintain his body temperature and avoid overheating.
His plan wasn't complicated.
It was to rely on the food and water resources he carried with him until the arrival of the reinforcements.
Baiyu roughly estimated.
As long as he wasn't discovered by the Mechanical Race, he could last about one to two months. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived by then, there probably wouldn't be any point in coming.
After all, Wood Iron Star had been embroiled in war for over a year.
They had been sending out distress signals for eight months.
Now the Mechanical Race had basically taken full control of the planet, and if no reinforcements were sent, they would start building their defensive structures on the planet. πππππ°π²π―π»ππππΉ.ππ¨π
Unlike the Insect Race, who consumed everything they encountered.
The Mechanical Race truly occupied and transformed a planet, and could quickly build mechanical defenses, turning the whole planet into a steel ocean.
At that point, trying to reconquer it.
Would come at double the cost.
Baiyu rode his motorcycle quickly into the mountains of Wood Iron Star, where most of the wildlife had been decimated.
The ones that survived were mostly hidden in the mountains.
Baiyu saw many unusual animals, strange and diverse, like walking stones.
He found a cave to settle in and began living a reclusive life, relying on the food in his climbing bag.
Amidst the battle between the two armies.
Baiyu, a lone individual, seemed incredibly insignificant.
To influence the outcome of such a war with personal power would require at least the strength of the Great City Lord.
That's the legendary Sun Level.
Baiyu, just a small Meteor Level player, was essentially inconsequential in this battle.
He only needed to complete the challenge of the Seven Coils.
Of course.
He harbored some doubt about the reality of this planet. Seven Coils is a master of toying with emotions, and it wasn't impossible that everything here was just an illusion created by it.
But the possibility was indeed very low.
Baiyu still leaned toward believing that this was a world outside of Canglan Star, a vast and immense world filled with war and slaughter.
Therefore, the spirit quality outside Canglan Star.
Actually offered some degree of protection to the entire planet, isolating it from the terrifying fires of war outside.
Of course.
Isolated by the spirit quality, humans on Canglan Star had to face the Demons alone.
Baiyu shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
After all, he still hadn't figured out how he crossed the spirit quality to reach the outside world, nor did he understand how Seven Coils managed it.
But since Seven Coils had a way to send people away from Canglan Star.
It must also know the method to leave.
Thinking this way.
Baiyu closed his eyes to rest, but he didn't let down his guard and could notice any slight movement around him.
In the latter half of the night.
The temperature dropped rapidly.
Compared to the scorching heat of the day, the latter half of the night felt like stepping into a world of frost, and the air he inhaled was painfully cold.
Lying on the stone, Baiyu opened his eyes and looked at the nearby expanse of desert.
The roar of a motorcycle engine echoed.
Quickly approaching his location.
Baiyu looked in the direction of the sound. Seconds later, a mechanical motorcycle with its high beams on sped toward him.
A helmeted person was on the bike.
And behind them, two Blade Warriors were relentlessly chasing the tail of the motorcycle. Their sharp feet scraped the rocks, leaving visible scars.
Despite the motorcycle's high speed, it couldn't shake off the pursuit of these two Blade Warriors.
Baiyu put down the chicken leg that had turned black over the fire, hopped onto the nearby motorcycle, and sped down the throttle. With a roar, the black motorcycle darted into the forest.
Under the bright high beam.
The oncoming mechanical motorcycle was clearly surprised, hurriedly steering its bike away, but at such high speed, it veered to the side like a shot put, crashing into the mountain wall.
Baiyu paid no attention to the bike that had flown off.
Getting close to the two Blade Warriors, he floored the throttle again, and the Black Moon Blade flew from his hand, instantly cleaving the left Blade Warrior in two.
At that moment, Baiyu jumped from the motorcycle.
Heavily landing on the remaining Blade Warrior, causing its four mechanical legs to stutter. Baiyu then grasped the two sharp blade arms of the Blade Warrior, and with a bang, a violent burst of Blood Qi erupted from his hands.
The Blade Warrior's body began to tremble, and after rushing forward several meters, it collapsed with a crash.
After dispatching the two Blade Warriors, Baiyu turned and looked toward the motorcycle that had flown out earlier.
It was still under a rock, its tire spinning.
The rider, still wearing a helmet, slowly got up from the ground, just in time to witness Baiyu's victory over the Blade Warriors.
"Holy... Someone actually managed to defeat the Blade Warriors bare-handed."
She initially wanted to scold Baiyu for suddenly blocking her path and almost getting her killed.
But when the words were about to come out.
Mu Feiyan held back hard.
Considering Baiyu's daunting courage to tear apart the Blade Warriors, she decided not to get angry. Given the current situation, he was her savior.
Moreover.
She feared that if she angered him, her fate might be similar to those two Blade Warriors, torn apart by bare hands.
