Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

426 The Underground Shuttle’s Power

At this moment, everyone ignored their shock. Although none of them were great in terms of strength, they were still cultivators. As such, they moved and reacted quickly.

The moment Wu Mo finished speaking, everyone started moving.

Wu Mo’s underground shuttle blocked Chu Qingyan’s way, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Even more than a dozen cyborgs in black were cut off, and only a dozen others surrounded them from behind.

As he spoke, he made the first move.

On the other side, Wu Mo activated his speed-increasing combat boots in a flash. He rushed out like a phantom and crashed into a few cyborgs that were relatively dense.

The cyborgs seemed numb to everything, but in reality, it was only their muscles that were numb. Their eyes were still full of life.

When they saw Wu Mo rushing over as if he was seeking death, their eyes revealed a strange and ferocious expression. They swung the long saber in their hands and did not hesitate to kill Wu Mo.

Wu Mo’s expression was cold as he shouted, “Frost Ring!”

Swoosh!

A light blue halo suddenly bloomed from his body.

Boom!

The halo was extremely overwhelming. It expanded like lightning and had a radius of six to seven meters. All the long sabers and the figures behind them were hit by the halo’s sudden impact.

More terrifyingly, the bone-chilling frost quickly spread throughout their entire bodies following the violent impact. They were instantly frozen, and they lost control as they were sent flying by the huge force.

A few others who followed closely behind were also knocked away. Before long, the sound of metal colliding rang out. Seven or eight cyborgs turned into rolling gourds and appeared to be in an extremely miserable state.

Wu Mo only paused for a moment under the force of the counter-attack. He turned his body and reduced any excess force. As he moved, he quickly caught up with the cyborgs.

Chi!

A cold light sword flashed before him and instantly beheaded two men in black who were standing side by side. Before their blood spilled, he swung his sword and killed two more cyborgs.

However, the other men in black had already reacted and quickly retreated to dodge his attacks.

Wu Mo knew that the best time to kill had passed, so he did not stop. As he moved back, his voice rang out.

“Retreat!”

On the other side, Xu Wanqing, Gan Yun, Liu Ze, and Chen Qingbai had also done some damage. However, it was clear that they were not as familiar with their equipment as Wu Mo, and their timing was slightly off. Thus, their results were slightly inferior. Even so, the four of them had killed six cyborgs.

Hearing Wu Mo’s voice, the four of them did not linger and quickly flew back into the shuttle.

At this moment, the flying shuttle was shaking slightly because Chu Qingyan and the cyborgs were attacking it.

However, aside from the materials that Wu Mo used, the underground shuttle was protected by sturdy and reflective restrictions. Unless one could shatter the underground shuttle with a single strike, not only would one fail to destroy it, but one might even be injured.

After Chen Qingbai entered the underground shuttle, Wu Mo’s figure flashed into it as well. He then formed a seal with his hand and pressed his palm against the shuttle’s floor. Instantly, the restrictions on the shuttle lit up and the entire underground shuttle became transparent.

The others who had already entered the underground shuttle immediately saw Chu Qingyan brandishing a large blade with a ferocious expression. He was hacking wildly at the shuttle’s outer wall.

Unfortunately, he did not pose any threat to the underground shuttle even though he was using all of his strength.

Meanwhile, the cyborgs were injured by the rebound force from the underground shuttle. Their bodies were covered in blood, and even their silvery-white metal bones were exposed. They looked terrible.

The space within the underground shuttle was much larger than the outside. It was about a hundred square meters, and it was a little crowded with twenty to thirty people.

However, Wu Mo could not care less at this point. After he poured his transcendent energy into the underground shuttle, he activated its core. The surrounding light shadow sank and instantly disappeared into the ground.

Following Wu Mo’s will, it sped off into the distance.

Above ground, Chu Qingyan and a cyborg in black stood tall in the cold wind.

Chu Qingyan stared at the ground as if he could see through it, but in the end, he just sighed helplessly.

“Let’s go!”

Since Wu Mo and the others had escaped, they had failed to fulfill their task.

However, as long as he did not lose too much manpower, he could still hand them over. At most, he would be reprimanded, and he would just have to endure it when the time came.

After all, failure was nothing new.

Chu Qingyan also knew that he had no way of retreating this time. If he could not make any contributions and enter the Longevity Guild, his status would remain low.

Fortunately, he was a blacksmith, so he had some skills that he could use.

Otherwise, if he failed this mission, he would meet a tragic end even if did not die; the Longevity Guild was cruel.

On the other side, the underground shuttle had traveled more than a thousand meters in just a few breaths, and it soon floated up from the ground.

Wu Mo opened the hatch and said to everyone, “This place isn’t far from the stadium. You guys should hurry over!”

“You’re not coming with us?”

Killing intent flashed in Wu Mo’s eyes as he said, “Chu Qingyan’s here for me, so I have to finish what I started. Besides, he still owes me three seven-star Crystal Cores!”

The blacksmiths who heard this were speechless. ‘You’re prioritizing money over your life?!’

However, after experiencing such a dangerous situation earlier, they did not want to be in a helpless position again. They just wanted to stay in a safe place and return quickly.

“It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. We’ll go with you!” Xu Wanqing said.

Wu Mo knew that it was useless to dissuade them. He only nodded and said, “Let’s go!”

As he spoke, he entered the underground shuttle once again and rushed back to their prior location.

When they arrived, they saw Chu Qingyan and the others leaving. If they had been a step later, there would not have been any trace of Chu Qingyan and the cyborgs.

The underground shuttle’s surface could turn transparent, which allowed one to observe his surroundings. However, once it appeared on the ground, it would expose itself.

Moreover, maintaining the underground shuttle’s ability to travel through the ground required a constant consumption of transcendent energy. It was only because Wu Mo had made a huge breakthrough in the past two days that the transcendent energy he cultivated had been refined and upgraded. Otherwise, it would be highly difficult to maintain the current consumption.

Fortunately, there were five people inside the underground shuttle. As such, the pressure of injecting energy into the shuttle was not too great since they could do it in turns.

Despite that, it was still not enough to track Chu Qingyan.
