Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 198: Chapter 197: Someone You Shouldn’t Mess With

Neither Luo Lei nor Xu Xiangdong expected to be discovered so quickly, especially by Lords far stronger than them.

Seeing more and more species surrounding them, they dared not hesitate and rushed out of the shop alley with their respective species, fleeing towards the inner city.

“Oh? Quick reaction.”

The three Lords chuckled, gazing with amusement at the fleeing duo, yet did not immediately attack.

Instead, they rode their species and slowly pursued.

“Rare to encounter such weak Lords. Is it my turn to play this time?”

One of the Mechanical Lords, riding on a War Mecha, licked his lips, eager to try.

“As you wish,” the Beast Type Lord said blandly, “These newcomers with only a few Tier Sevens have hardly any Magic Energy; feel free to have fun.”

“Be careful not to attract other Lords,” another Insect Lord interjected.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them escape this area, haha.”

The Mechanical Lord laughed wildly, immediately speeding up to charge out of the team, leading his species to encircle the fleeing Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong.

Luo Lei’s face changed dramatically upon seeing this.

“Go! Stop him!”

With an order, all the species except the Tier Seven Undead Wolf he rode turned around to meet the Mechanical Lord.

Xu Xiangdong also commanded his Water Element.

In an instant, streams of water converged, transforming into sharp arrows shooting straight at the opponent.

“Humph, trivial tricks, attack them, kill them all!”

The Mechanical Lord didn’t even consider the two a threat. With a wave of his hand, the War Mechas beside him drew mechanical saws and hurled them at their species.

Whoosh!

The giant mechanical gears turned into a blur, crashing into the species’ ranks.

In an instant, bones were flying, and a swath of Luo Lei’s Undead Species was annihilated, falling to the ground.

The gears’ momentum continued, circling in front of the duo, performing a rotational cut.

“Quick, dodge!”

Luo Lei yelled in horror, swerving aside astride his Undead Wolf, narrowly avoiding the gears’ attack.

However, Xu Xiangdong wasn’t as fortunate, with a “puff” sound, a gash was torn open at his waist, blood sputtering.

Even the Water Element beside him was sliced through, turning into puddles.

“Old Xu!”

Luo Lei’s eyes were bloodshot, ready to rush over to aid.

“Don’t mind me! You go!”

Enduring the excruciating pain, Xu Xiangdong ordered the Water Element to heal him and suddenly stopped, fiercely attacking the Mechanical Lord with the remaining Water Element.

He intended to buy time for Luo Lei!

The strength gap was too vast.

If they kept fleeing like this, both would die!

He couldn’t escape far with his grievous injuries, so he might as well desperately fight to buy Luo Lei time to run.

With that in mind, Xu Xiangdong looked sharply at Luo Lei.

“Go quickly! I’ll hold him off!”

The decisive words shook Luo Lei to his core.

He gritted his teeth and finally stopped.

“Damn it! Do you think I’ll thank you for this?”

Cursing aloud, he instantly changed direction, pulling Xu Xiangdong onto the back of another Undead Wolf, and fled.

Yet this delay allowed the Mechanical Lord to retrieve the gears, chasing with his War Mechas, a taunting look on his face.

“Such touching brotherhood, I’m almost moved to tears—just kidding. Go, knock them down.”

With an order, his War Mechas once again launched gears, aiming straight for the fleeing duo.

Though they were prepared, and their remaining Tier Seven species stepped in to block,

they still got grazed by several gears, blood sprang forth, nearly dislodging them from the wolves.

Of course, the Mechanical Lord was toying with them, not killing outright, but closely following, watching their ragged escape.

In this chase, Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong’s species dwindled until only a few Tier Sevens remained.

They gradually passed through the streets, entering the inner city area.

“Old Xiao, stop playing, the inner city area is just ahead.”

At that moment, the other two Lords called from behind, clearly wary of the inner city.

The Mechanical Lord, teasing Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong, realized and casually responded, “Relax, that maniac is deep within the inner city; would he come out for these rookies?”

Though he said this, his expression grew solemn.

Glancing toward the inner city, he promptly ordered his species.

“Alright, finish them.”

The command fell, accompanied by several whooshing sounds piercing the air.

Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong, fleeing, felt a chill at their backs and reflexively changed direction, darting into a side alley.

“Boom!”

Gears embedded into street buildings, erupting in a loud explosion, yet no expected kill notification appeared.

“They actually dodged?”

The Mechanical Lord frowned.

While he pondered, Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong, riding Undead Wolves, appeared again, crossing the ruins onto the street, fleeing towards the inner city without a backward glance.

Both were now almost entirely spent, bodies covered in cuts, even their vision blurred.

“Hold on a little longer, we’re almost there!”

Luo Lei gritted his teeth, staring intently ahead.

Beside him, Xu Xiangdong was nearly fainting, barely holding on with his last breath.

“Give up, you can’t escape.”

Taunting words from the Mechanical Lord came from behind.

With lethal intent, he didn’t hold back, as countless spinning gears appeared, transforming into streams of light that attacked the two.

Only then did Luo Lei take out a scroll from his personal space.

“This is my final strategy, success or failure depends on this! Old Xu, hold tight!”

With that, he ripped open the scroll, releasing a strong wind attribute aura, enveloping both of them and the Undead Wolf beneath them. Their speed suddenly increased, leaving the Mechanical Lord behind and narrowly dodging the gears’ attack.

“Hmm?”

The Mechanical Lord made a noise of surprise, not expecting Luo Lei to have such a trick up his sleeve, his expression darkened as he immediately commanded the War Mecha to chase after them.

“Old Xiao, stop quickly! Ahead is the deeper part of the inner city!”

Anxious shouts came from two other lords behind.

But how could the Mechanical Lord let the prey escape? Instead of slowing down, he pursued at full speed, quickly rushing out of the street they were on.

Gradually.

A huge palace gate appeared in their line of sight.

Upon seeing the terrifying Plant Legion by the gate, which everyone feared, the Mechanical Lord trembled all over and stopped in shock.

He had heard the rumors about Lin You with his own ears.

A fierce man who single-handedly wiped out an entire Dragon Venerable Realm team.

Definitely not someone small fry like them could provoke.

Unexpectedly, this fierce man was still outside the Imperial Palace, not inside seeking the Source of the Plague, which greatly surprised him.

At that moment, Lin You, who was resting in the distance, noticed them, curiously watching the two figures speeding towards him.

“Help… help…”

Amidst the distance, a trembling cry for help could barely be heard.

If Lin You’s body hadn’t been enhanced with excellent hearing, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hear it clearly.

What surprised him even more was that he felt no sense of rejection from the two people.

Could they be from the Primordial Realm?

Lin You was startled and quickly went to meet them with Lingxi.

Soon, there were two dull thuds, and the figures on the backs of the Undead Wolves could no longer hold on, falling heavily to the ground, revealing faces covered in blood and flesh.

Seeing their faces, Lin You’s expression changed instantly.

“Luo Lei!?”

Lin You was completely shocked.

He never expected to encounter Luo Lei here, the person from the same novice area as him who traded the Ancient Tree of Knowledge with him.

Seeing the two gravely injured and near death, he immediately shouted to the Elf Master beside him, “Quick! Heal them!”

In an instant, a bright green glow enveloped the two, along with several nearby Undead Wolves and Water Elementals, rapidly healing their injuries.

“How can this be!”

The Mechanical Lord, who had stopped in the distance, watched in horror, his whole body trembling violently.

Those two rookies were actually companions of that monster!?

This was impossible!!

Fear instantly spread throughout his body, turning him pale with terror as he quickly retreated.

At this moment, how could he not realize that he had provoked someone he should not have, and he was among the most untouchable on the battlefield.

His mind now held only one thought: escape.

Escape as far as possible!

Even his two companions, who had just arrived, realized the severity of the situation, shaking with terror.

Without daring to hesitate, they turned to flee, regretting only that they hadn’t been born with more legs.

“Since you’re here, don’t leave.”

At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Before they could react, dense vines appeared all around, surrounding them.

“No! Spare us, we didn’t mean to hurt them, we didn’t know they were your companions!”

The three lords wailed miserably, frantically trying to break through the vines’ encirclement with their species.

But no matter how they resisted, they were eventually bound by more and more vines and were soon engulfed by endless plants.

Apart from the three of them, all the species were pierced by the vines, dismembered on the spot.

They were bound like dumplings and dragged before Lin You, with only one breath left to sustain them.

After doing this, Lin You returned to Luo Lei and Xu Xiangdong’s side to check their injuries.

Fortunately, they were only temporarily unconscious from excessive blood loss, without any fatal injuries.

With the combined healing efforts of Lingxi and the Elf Masters, the two gradually awoke from their unconscious state.

“Am I… dead?”

Luo Lei propped himself up, blankly observing his surroundings.

Upon seeing Lin You standing beside him, he froze momentarily, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

“Lin… Boss Lin? It’s really you!?”
