Mu Feiyan had words at the tip of her tongue, but she forced them down, leaving only a "Thank you, big brother."

Baiyu noticed how polite she was.

He abandoned his plan to capture and interrogate her harshly and instead asked, "What brings you here?"

Clearly.

Nowadays, most areas of the Wood Iron Star are occupied by the Mechanical Race. A motorcycle girl appearing here is an extremely peculiar occurrence.

Mu Feiyan swiftly replied, "These Mechanical Race members forced me out. Our city got overrun by them. I'm a survivor from that city.

The city had over ten million people.

In the end, only a few thousand managed to escape."

Talking about this.

Mu Feiyan felt immense discomfort, obviously, it was a chapter of her past she struggled to recall.

"Why are you being hunted to this place?"

Baiyu asked again.

Baiyu didn't ask where she came from, but thought that it was odd for Mu Feiyan to flee into such a large mountain. Even odder was that two Blade Warriors were chasing her.

Keep in mind.

Mechanical Race's Blade Warriors are considered elite units among them.

For a defenseless woman like her, the Mechanical Race would likely not dispatch two Blade Warriors, as this doesn't fit their precise, calculating nature.

By checking the base's information.

The Mechanical Race is a group that values precision above all. If they could dispatch a mechanical insect to kill a target, they would certainly not send two Blade Warriors.

Therefore.

There must be something valuable about this girl for the Mechanical Race to dispatch two Blade Warriors after her.

Even Baiyu thought.

Previously, Mu Feiyan managed to shake off several waves of pursuers. These two Blade Warriors persistently chased her simply because they were fast, and Mu Feiyan couldn't lose them.

Upon hearing Baiyu's question.

Mu Feiyan responded in a deep voice, "I was escaping, and on the way, I ran into a Mechanical Race squad.

They now hunt humans relentlessly whenever they see them.

That's why they chased me here.

When I was fleeing, I panicked and accidentally ran into this mountain."

Baiyu furrowed his brows and, after she finished, spoke sternly, "You're lying. I have an item that can detect if someone is lying.

I'll give you one more chance.

If you won't talk, there's nothing more I can do."

Baiyu's fists trembled.

A massive boulder nearby instantly shattered.

Mu Feiyan's face turned pale, "I..."

"Not willing to speak?"

Baiyu's face took on a fierce look.

Mu Feiyan was directly intimidated. She finally spoke without holding back, "Outside this mountain, there is a Mechanical Race base. I escaped from there."

"Are you carrying something from that base?"

Baiyu asked.

Mu Feiyan nodded and took out a pale yellow, diamond-shaped Crystal Stone from her hand.

"This is the energy core in the Mechanical Race's research lab, which I took out. That's why they keep chasing me. I am their Research Project No. 25."

Mu Feiyan confessed everything honestly.

Baiyu continued to ask, "Research project? What are they researching?"

Mu Feiyan shook her head, "I don't know either. Only the Mechanical Race knows the actual content of the research. We are just research targets."

This statement should be believable.

Baiyu didn't inquire further in this regard, but instead asked, "Where exactly is the Mechanical Race base you speak of, and what kind of power do they possess?"

Mu Feiyan quickly described the situation of the Mechanical Race base.

Although not very detailed.

Baiyu roughly understood the location and the power of that base.

Soon.

Baiyu decided to visit that base.

For nothing else, but to learn about the Mechanical Race's information. The spirit quality surrounding Canglan Star can't linger outside the planet forever; it will eventually dissipate someday.

On that day.

When cosmic forces pour in, anyone unprepared will struggle to survive in this dark world.

Baiyu seized this opportunity to learn about the various cosmic races.

The deceased Seven Coils could send them beyond the spirit quality, and Baiyu considered that the defense offered by spirit quality might not be completely flawless.

However.

Regarding the matter of returning to the Mechanical Race base, Mu Feiyan seemed to look at Baiyu as if watching a fool.

From her point of view.

Returning to the Mechanical Race base was akin to an elderly person committing suicide; tired of living.

Let alone returning alone, even if he took a troop back, there would certainly be no hope of capturing the base.

Although the Mechanical Race established that base recently.

But.

The power within is very substantial.

"You don't have to go. Just take me outside that base, and that's it." Baiyu didn't demand much.

However, Mu Feiyan shook her head vigorously as if making rhythm with a rattle drum.

Evidently.

Her terror of the Mechanical Race base outweighed the fear Baiyu caused her.

After all, from their conversation, she also figured out Baiyu wasn't a mindlessly evil individual, but at least someone who could communicate.

Yet those Mechanical Race members are all uncommunicative hunks of metal.

"You have no choice in this matter."

After Mu Feiyan refused, Baiyu didn't waste words, instead lifted her directly, started the motorcycle, and headed back.

The sharp Black Moon Blade quickly made Mu Feiyan calm down, halting her shouting.

"My requirement is simple. You just need to get me to the Mechanical Race base and assist me in entering it. After all, I saved your life, refusing such a small favor isn't justified, right? If you're afraid, you can leave once I'm in the base."

Baiyu said coldly.

Mu Feiyan, with the blade at her throat, dared not utter a refusal.

Soon.

According to Mu Feiyan's directions, Baiyu stopped his motorcycle at the mouth of a valley. Inside the valley was the Mechanical Race base.

However, Mu Feiyan didn't enter through the valley's entrance.

Clearly.

There were Mechanical Race sentries and alarm systems set at the entrance. Anyone passing through would undoubtedly alert everyone in the base.

Even though Baiyu's mission to face death had nothing to do with her.

If the Mechanical Race got alarmed.

She wouldn't be able to escape either.

"Are you suggesting we enter from here? Are you sure there won't be any issues?" Baiyu glanced at the valley's side wall where there was a small opening, evidently a ventilation tunnel the Mechanical Race had dug.

"No issue.

The Mechanical Race has a certain fixed mindset, and they only set checkpoints and guards at places they deem as passageways.

Though, once inside through this tunnel, the defenses will be incredibly tight."

Mu Feiyan first removed the iron grille from the ventilation duct, and with her small figure, crawled inside. Baiyu watched as her figure disappeared, then quickly followed into the hole himself.

Thus, the two of them began their infiltration into the Mechanical Race base.
