Chapter 164: Chapter 125: The End of Undercover Life, Time to Close the Net (5000 Words)_2

How do they know...

It’s this beam of light!

She quickly lowered her head to look at the Bone Dragon, only to see that under the illumination of the beam, part of the dragon’s bone frame began to fade, while the portions infected by the Spine-eating Gu became unnervingly distinct.

What terrified her even more was that her own lower body, connected to the Bone Dragon, now revealed her fused bones so clearly under the effect of the beam.

In this instant, her identity was completely exposed!

"Who is it?"

Leng Wanbai could no longer maintain the calm demeanor on her face. Her expression twisted into rage as she roared, scanning the ruins below.

But alas, down in the ruins remained only the Beam Emitter device, with no sign of anyone at all.

Meanwhile, the group of four snapped back to their senses. After exchanging nervous glances, they immediately scattered in separate directions, fleeing.

"The Spine-eating Gu has appeared, and it’s parasitizing Leng Wanbai from the Long Family. We have to inform everyone!"

"Exactly. If that happens, Leng Wanbai... no, the Spine-eating Gu will be finished. We might even get a chance to seize some Cosmic Creature Metal for ourselves."

"Hahaha! What wonderful luck... But who was that person? Why did they help us?"

"No, they weren’t helping us. Clearly, they have their own agenda."

"Whatever the case may be, we’d better leave this place immediately."

"First, we need to send the message out to as many people as possible. Let everyone know about Leng Wanbai’s true nature."

"Alright... Wait, oh no, she’s coming..."

"Boom..."

At that moment, the Ice Bone Dragon extended countless Spine-eating Gu tentacles from its ribs, tearing apart one mecha in an instant and pulverizing it into fragments.

Immediately after, a tentacle stabbed into a panicked young man’s body, absorbing him dry before discarding his corpse. It then lunged at the other three with feral precision.

Leng Wanbai’s form had already fused entirely with the "Spine-eating Bone Dragon." The Bone Dragon’s lifeless eyes now glowed with furious bloodlust.

They mustn’t escape!

The three survivors, consumed with dread, frantically threw Earth Core Energy into their energy sources, accelerating their speed to the maximum.

"Run faster..."

"Damn it, the signal has been blocked! We can’t send the message out..."

"Let’s split up and escape separately..."

"Click..."

Just as one of them suggested it, the warning alarm inside their cockpit blared urgently.

"Beep beep... Alert! Mecha damage rate is at 30%!"

The boy gritted his teeth and shouted, "Activate the Escape Pod! Initiate mecha self-destruction..."

"Beep beep... Escape Pod preparation commencing..."

"Self-destruction countdown: 10... 9..."

The boy roared, "Cancel the countdown! Fire the Escape Pod now; detonate in one second afterward!"

"Beep beep... Countdown canceled..."

"Bang!"

The Escape Pod launched, but the Bone Dragon had prepared for this. One slender tentacle immediately pierced the pod.

"BOOM!!"

In the next moment, the mecha self-destructed. A storm of raging energy, mixed with mechanical fragments, swallowed the Bone Dragon whole in an explosion of chaotic force.

The two remaining survivors instinctively halted midair, turning back toward the inferno bursting across the skyline.

"It worked!"

"Finally... it’s dead..."

"ROAR..."

From within the flames, the Bone Dragon emerged, its tentacles partly destroyed but still dragging its semi-maimed form as it charged directly toward the two.

"It’s not dead yet..."

"Run..."

The two yelled in horror before splitting and flying in opposite directions.

Observing this, the Bone Dragon violently fired most of its tentacles toward the mecha escaping to the right. Without waiting for the result, it pursued the left-side mecha relentlessly.

"Whizz-whizz..."

Its razor-sharp tentacles resembled the deadliest arrows, piercing through the cockpit of the right-side mecha before it exploded on impact.

"Boom..."

With the cockpit obliterated, the pilot, clad in battle armor, was flung like a stray missile, screaming as he hurtled from a hundred meters above into the ruins below.

Meanwhile, in the left sky, the Bone Dragon continued chasing the fleeing mecha, soon disappearing from sight.

The boy, dragging his battered armor, crawled out from the rubble. Seeing that the Bone Dragon was finally gone, he exhaled deeply.

"Phew... it finally left."

Wiping a bead of blood from his eye, the boy struggled to stand. He instinctively glanced at the strange machine beside him.

"This is... the machine that exposed Leng Wanbai as the host of the Spine-eating Gu?"

A spark of excitement lit in his eyes. This was a treasure! Returning it to his family would surely earn him significant rewards.

Just as he reached for the machine, intending to store it inside his Space Wristwatch, he heard a man’s voice from behind.

"Apologies, that belongs to me."

The boy jumped in fright, turning abruptly to face the direction of the voice, his body instantly tensing as Beast Power Star Power radiated from him.

"Who are you?"

Qin Shou shrugged and swiftly waved his hand, summoning Gold-eating Insects hidden amongst the mechanical ruins. They swarmed over the boy in layers.

"Ah!!"

Screaming in agony, the boy desperately activated the surging Star Power within him, blasting the Gold-eating Insects away with brute force.

"You brat! You’re courting death!"

Furious, the boy gathered his Star Power, shaping it into a formidable golden bird that lunged ferociously at Qin Shou.

"Buzz!!"

In an instant, an even brighter golden glow enveloped Qin Shou.

"Emperor Armor, fusion commence!"

"Hiss!"

A piercing sound echoed as five ornate Space Gates overlapped majestically.

Five Saints’ Ultimate Kill!

"Boom!"

A golden meteor streaked across the air, accompanied by a Divine Dragon Illusion, shattering the golden bird in a single explosive strike.

"Boom..."

With the energy detonation fading, scorched ground remained in its wake, scattering several Space Stones at Qin Shou’s feet.

A heavily injured Vajra Realm Four Star—a foe now reduced to a single effortless strike for Qin Shou.

...

At the edge of the mechanical ruins.

"Boom..."

A mecha erupted as fiery Ice and Fire Energy annihilated it. Mark was flung far away by the explosion, landing hard against the ground.

"Cough cough... Pfft..."

Mark’s battle armor shattered, his body convulsing as he spat out dark blood. His pale face stared helplessly at the figure of Hu Yiyi approaching him step by step.

"You... Don’t come any closer! I’ve called for..." Mark stuttered in terror.

"Hehehe, scream as much as you like. No matter how much you shout, no one will come to save you."

Hu Yiyi let out a delicate laugh, her attire pristine, showcasing an undeniable disparity in strength between the two.

"Hand it over!"

"No, I won’t! This was given to me by Wanbai..."

"Idiot! What foolish nonsense!"

Hu Yiyi cursed inwardly, figuring that Leng Wanbai had probably dealt with the others by now and would arrive shortly.

She wasn’t entirely sure of Leng Wanbai’s strength, which prompted her to act swiftly.

Staring at the gravely injured Mark, Hu Yiyi was just about to make her move when the communicator at her waist suddenly began flashing.
