‘What is that?’ asked Feng Long.

Lying on top of the hill, Feng Long pointed to a two-meter high and three meters long red armored fighting vehicle while taking pictures.

Hou Tielong, who was lying beside him, turned over the notebook in his hand and replied, “It’s a tankette. It only takes two people to operate it—one to drive it and one to fire ammunition.

“It’s very potent. There are two firing modes, one is a twelve-millimeter large-caliber, and the other is a bomb.

“However, there probably isn’t any machinery available in the ruin to make the corresponding ammunition. After their previous battle, there shouldn’t be many bombs and ammunition left in their hands.”

“Oh? You even have information on how much ammunition they have?” Feng Long turned toward him in surprise.

“Of course. There’s nothing that can be kept a secret. Sun Bahu may be tight-lipped, but it doesn’t mean that his subordinates are the same.

“It’d be challenging for him to achieve all this without at least a hundred and eighty people. Thus, he had no choice but to reach out and expand his team. In such a short period, it would be impossible for all of them to be completely loyal to him.

“After a couple of drinks, humans will spout all sorts of cr*p without meaning to.”

Hou Tielong innocently scratched his head and had a suspicious expression, but he did not fully explain specifically how he got the information.

The others beside him inevitably looked at him with much more admiration upon hearing the information.

“What about that one?”

“That’s a military exoskeleton robot suit. The operator can sit inside the high-strength bulletproof glass hatch and control the mechanical armor with the consoles inside.

“A fire-breathing dragon that can fit four people on board. It can spew a two thousand degrees celsius flame with a length of thirty meters and instantly melt all the targets in front of it.

“A missile launching vehicle that can hit targets within thirty kilometers and bomb an area of one hundred meters. There are probably three missiles.

“That’s heavy artillery that can fire a shell causing damage within fifty meters to a hundred meters. The distance it can shoot is three kilometers, but there isn’t any radar assistance, so it’ll be impossible to shoot toward high angles and it can only be fired in a linear position. It’ll also take a long time to calibrate the target. Otherwise, it’d be easy to miss and end up as friendly fire.”

“A hydrata, it can accelerate up to one hundred miles per hour. It’s very fast and equipped with two heavy machine guns…”

“…”

One question and one answered.

Hou Tielong explained every one of the sixteen pieces of machinery as treasure, and it surprised everyone.

“Do they usually just leave these things out to sunbathe?”

Feng Long confirmed that he had recorded each piece of machinery on the camera and carefully put it back into his storage space. Then, he picked up the binoculars and continued to observe.

It was slightly past three in the afternoon.

However, the sun did not bring much warmth. Instead, the chilly winds seemed to accumulate within the valleys.

At the 200 meters tall mountain in front of them, there was a large cave that caught everyone’s attention.

Occasionally people would walk back and forth from the cave carrying some stuff.

“I don’t know but probably not. It would cost a lot to operate all these at once. Sun Bahu doesn’t have enough resources to do that.

“Once he uses up the resources within the ruins and can’t find new replacements, these things will be useless!”

Hou Tielong continued.

“It looks like they’re about to take action soon.

“It’s expected from them. The territory is in chaos and if he doesn’t act now, it’ll be a headache to be the territory lord.”

“Take action?”

Feng Long was stunned as he realized a critical piece of information. Soon, he was filled with excitement.

No one knew the power and damage these unactivated machines could cause right now.

As the saying goes, “know thy enemy and know oneself, and one will never be defeated in a hundred battles.”

They could easily deal with their enemies if they could use the camera to record how these machines were operated and their functions along the way.

“This is a great opportunity for us. Later, Peace you stay here and see if there is a chance to explore their ruins with one of our robots if they leave.

“I’ll take three people and follow them to record their vehicles and armors. It will be a gain for us if we could steal a few if a chance opens up!”

“Alright!”

Unlike Feng Long whose eyes glowed with excitement upon seeing the machinery, Guan Yuan was more interested in exploring the mysteries of the ruins.

Moreover, the main purpose of their mission was to explore the ruins. Thus, the plan did not conflict with their original plan.

They waited patiently for a while.

A burly and terrifying figure finally walked out of the ruins when the sun was about to set.

At this moment, the already impatient Hou Tielong regained his spirit and raised his head.

“That’s Sun Bahu. It seems he’s going full force today!” he whispered.

“Looks like being the lord of thirty thousand people really is cool to him. I didn’t expect him to refuse to give up Origin Territory. ”

It was different from what everyone had expected.

Sun Bahu was dressed in a fish-scale-looking armor and seemed to have bulked up, looking somewhat inhumanly strong.

His right hand wore a glove full of silver spikes and reflected light under the setting sun.

In his left hand was a ferocious gun than swayed back and forth.

“Did he transform himself?”

Feng Long licked the corners of his frozen and cracked lips, feeling shocked and apprehensive upon seeing the bulky Sun Bahu through his binoculars.

Sun Bahu looked as if he had abandoned his human self. Beast was a more appropriate word to describe him.

A wisp of white air spewed from his nostrils and spread out like smoke in the cold air.

As he inhaled, the smoke that had not completely dispersed was sucked back, forming a cyclone circulation.

His lung capacity was like a small car engine that constantly sucked in and exhausted air.

Without having to think about it, those who saw him immediately understood that his strength had reached an unattainable level for ordinary humans.

“We can’t confront him in a face-to-face battle. We’ll have to get rid of him with a gun from a distance.”

“It’ll be best if we use a large-caliber sniper rifle!”

With the idea popping up in his mind, Feng Long continued to think to himself.
