Chapter 939
"There are guards in the direction of the dungeon ahead, and their presence is much stronger than that Vampire Monster from just now."
Broly led the way like a guide; to accommodate the infiltration-rescue experience of the two S-Class Heroes following behind, he did not recklessly charge ahead and take out the final guard boss in two or three moves, but instead straightened his face and spoke to the two of them with the air of facing a formidable enemy.
"What is that?"
The three's footsteps stopped at the corner of the tunnel; Child Emperor took out the reconnaissance mechanical crawler he had painstakingly prepared but had not been able to use all the way here, placed it on the ground, and the simulated mechanical crawler crawled out, soon transmitting the footage it captured at the corner — a black beast of excessively massive build lying in front of the cell door — to the custom game console in Child Emperor's hands; Flashy Flash frowned and asked after seeing it.
"Judging by its appearance, it should not be a Monster, but a mutated wild beast; bad, it seems to have discovered my reconnaissance crawler No. 1, and that twitching nose action — it may have also smelled the scent of the three of us —"
Child Emperor finished speaking, then discovered that the black giant beast in the footage did not launch an indiscriminate attack just because it had discovered their existence; it merely raised its head toward the direction of the reconnaissance mechanical crawler, bared its teeth in a grin, as if intimidating outsiders not to approach.
"Uh, according to the biological behavior database comparison, before its mutation this guy had an 87% probability of being a canine creature that guarded homes and courtyards —"
Child Emperor controlled Crawler No. 1 to return; just as Crawler No. 1 retreated, Pochi's low growling threat also quieted down.
Child Emperor quickly poked his head out for a look and discovered that the giant beast that had just raised its head now had its head lying back down on the ground.
"What do we do now? Why don't we quickly make a move and slash it to death?"
Flashy Flash proposed.
"That won't do; that guy's build is huge, strength unknown; even if we could slash it to death, I'm afraid it would create a huge commotion in the process and wake the Monsters of the Monster Association."
Child Emperor shook his head and vetoed this proposal.
"Then what do you say we do? That guy is practically blocking the entire dungeon room door; if we don't deal with it, I'm afraid we can't even get through the door, let alone rescue the hostages inside."
"Then what do you say we should do? That guy's practically blocking the dungeon room's door; if we don't solve it, we probably can't even enter the door, let alone save the hostages inside."
Child Emperor asked Broly.
"I naturally have a way, but isn't this considering that you two haven't done anything since following in? So the difficult problem of the final checkpoint for rescuing the hostages is handed over to you.
Of course, if you also have no way to deal with the other party, I can continue to step in and help resolve it; it's just that then you'll probably have no sense of participation in the hostage rescue experience."
"Of course, if you all also have no way to solve the opponent, then I can also continue to act to help solve it, just that way you all probably won't have much sense of participation in the rescue hostages experience."
Child Emperor, Flashy Flash:
What the hell participation experience; they're here to save people, not to play some game attraction at an amusement park.
However, the other party's words also made a bit of sense; if they who came in together did nothing, afterward it would also be a bit embarrassing to share the merit of the infiltration rescue.
"However, what the opponent said also has some reason; if they who entered together do nothing, then afterwards it would also be not too good to divide the infiltration rescue hostages merit."
Child Emperor nodded; Flashy Flash also had no objection.
"That guy's behavior pattern is a canine creature; then perhaps we can use the method for dealing with a watchdog; which of you has brought edible snacks, preferably the meat kind?"
"That guy's behavior pattern is canine creature, then perhaps we can use the way of treating a guard dog, who among you has brought edible snacks, best if it's the meat type?"
"Who would bring this kind of thing on an infiltration hostage rescue mission?"
"Uh, that's true, but going back to get it now ————"
"I brought some, though."
Child Emperor hadn't finished speaking when he heard Broly say this.
He and Flashy Flash turned their heads together to look at Broly.
Broly didn't waste words; from the Crystal Palace Space he directly fished out a roasted pig trotter.
Heat rose from it; it was actually still hot.
【Wait, someone actually brought food!】
【No, this thing — where did you pull it out from?】
"Mr. Broly, may I borrow this pig trotter?"
Child Emperor did not voice the thoughts in his heart; every hero has their own secrets.
"No need to return it; consider it a gift."
Broly directly handed the roasted pig trotter in his hand over to Child Emperor, then glanced at Flashy Flash and fished out a large stick bone from the space again; instantly the aroma of stewed meat and brine wafted out, and Flashy Flash subconsciously swallowed his saliva upon receiving it.
Broly directly handed the roasted pig trotter in his hand to Child Emperor, then glanced at Fless once more, and then pulled out a large stick bone from space, instantly the aroma of stewed meat braised flavor wafted out, and Fless, upon receiving it, also subconsciously swallowed saliva.
"Homemade; if you want to eat, after we get out I can send you two catties to taste."
With supplies abundant, Broly was not stingy about sharing delicious food with others.
"We'll talk about this later; let's deal with that big black dog first."
Pochi was originally lying down, but suddenly a delicious smell drifted through the air.
It raised its head and saw a figure walk out from the corner.
It wanted to bare its fangs, but its gaze was drawn to the stick bone in the youth's hand.
"Good doggy, this is for you; could you please move aside?"
Flashy Flash stepped forward to negotiate; Child Emperor is a child after all — if the giant beast went berserk, it would be hard to guarantee personal safety — so only he, a hero confident in his own speed, came to attempt negotiations with this super-sized watchdog.
Pochi looked at Flashy Flash and did not assume an attack posture, allowing the other party to walk right up to it before opening its huge mouth and wagging the tail behind it.
Flashy Flash threw the meat bone into this guy's huge mouth; to confirm safety, he even reached out and touched Pochi's head.
The overgrown big black dog Pochi did not refuse; but just as Flashy Flash wanted to circle past it to open the cell door behind it, Pochi extended a claw and swiped him back.
"Hey, I already gave you the food; what do you mean by this?"
Flashy Flash frowned.
"Woof~"
Pochi barked once, then shook its big head at him.
【Giant Eye promised me a basket of meat bones to stand guard; although your big bone tastes better, it's still not enough to make me give up a basket of meat bones.】
"Child Emperor, do you know what this guy means?"
Seeing Pochi only blocking the way with no attack intention, Flashy Flash turned back and asked.
Child Emperor walked over and threw the roasted pig trotter in his hand to Pochi, exchanging for Pochi not regarding him with hostility.
Child Emperor walked over and tossed the roasted pig trotter in his hand to Pochi, gaining an attitude of not being regarded with hostility by Pochi in exchange.
However, when he tried to go around Pochi to open the door, he was still refused by the other party.
"Woof~"
Pochi also barked once at him.
"Uh, this big guy probably feels that what we gave isn't enough."
Child Emperor held a special game console with a control stick; Broly leaned over to take a look and discovered this thing could actually translate the attitudes expressed by canine creatures' barks — on it was written the meaning: 【This bark is a canine creature expressing refusal】.
Fless: "If that's the case, then we can only kill it?!"
His hand rested on the sword hilt; at such a close distance, he was confident he could prevent this mutated giant black dog from making any sound and chop off its head.
Of course, this is Fless's perspective and personal feeling; the actual situation is that canon Pochi could withstand a punch from Saitama with no problem — its physical durability is such that it could probably lie there and let Fless slash it, and Fless might not even be able to cut through its black fur.
"Mr. Broly, do you still have meat bones?"
"Still have some, but these are all my usual snack reserves; however, forget it, I'll give them all to you."
Pochi's gaze stayed fixed on Broly because Broly hadn't given it anything to eat; however, although Broly didn't give it food, Pochi also didn't arbitrarily assume an attack posture — its beastly intuition made it vaguely detect the danger on Broly; it was merely somewhat vigilant —
Until Broly continuously conjured food out of thin air in his hand and generously tossed it into its mouth.
One tasty big stick bone or one roasted pig trotter, and Pochi would allow someone to approach and touch its head.
Ten, and it would actively rub its head against the other party to express goodwill; a hundred — oh, this human sir or miss, do you want to rub my belly?
And when its belly was stuffed full, even to the point where it was a bit bloated and couldn't eat anymore —
【First meeting, my destined master~】
Pochi, its belly already round and bloated from overeating, flipped onto its back and rapidly wagged the tail behind its butt, whining and acting spoiled at Broly.
"Uh, now, can we go in?
Child Emperor hurriedly asked upon seeing this.
"Woof?"
Pochi stood up, looked at Broly and barked once; even without the dog language translator, Fless and Child Emperor could tell this was the mutated giant black dog asking for Broly's opinion.
"I want to go in too."
Broly said a sentence.
"Woof!"
Pochi answered and obligingly moved its body aside.
The cell door was opened, and a boy wearing a suit was successfully rescued.
The other party's spirit was somewhat withered, but his body was not weak.
Although the Monster Association kidnapped him, they didn't starve this young master.
"Wait, are we taking this guy with us when we leave?"
Fless walked in the underground corridor, couldn't help but look back at Pochi following behind, and directly asked.
"If it wants to follow, let it follow; I quite like this little guy."
Broly reached out and stroked Pochi's dog head; the silky smooth fur made him think of the Bay Beasts on Planet Wanpa.
"Fine, abducting the Monster Association's watchdog counts as reducing their combat strength; just hope this guy doesn't suddenly betray us later."
"No problem; if it betrays us, I'll just take its hide and make a fur coat for my family."
Pochi's body trembled; it wanted to bare its teeth but suddenly felt a chill; the six eyes on its head subconsciously looked toward Broly beside it, and heard this new owner smiling reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, little guy; as long as you're obedient, I definitely won't harm you."
"That counts as a little guy too?"
The kidnapped boy couldn't help but ask Child Emperor beside him.
The intimidation of a giant black beast following behind was simply too great for him.
"Don't know, but perhaps to Mr. Broly, this is just a little guy."
Child Emperor shook his head; among the food Broly had just taken out was a leg bone with meat taller than a person.
Although he didn't know what creature it was, obviously the owner of that thing was definitely more massive than the mutated giant black dog behind them.
The infiltration went smoothly; the exit also seemed to be clear sailing — just when Child Emperor and Fless both thought this hostage rescue operation could be completed smoothly, a silver-gray armored figure intercepted their path after they turned a fork in the road.
"Invaders; it seems the disappearance of the monsters' life signals was your doing — Super Flash, Child Emperor, Flash Fless; we've also collected some data on you.
According to computation, my current G5 mecha cannot oppose you three, but giving a warning to the Monster Association is still no problem —"
"Obviously, the guy in front of us is a purely mechanical entity; my Ki Sense cannot perceive its existence."
Facing Child Emperor and Fless who looked back at him, seemingly asking why he hadn't detected the enemy approaching, Broly shrugged and explained.
"Since that's the case, let's make it quick; eliminate the enemy who discovered us!"
Flash Fless drew his sword and unhesitatingly charged at G5.
"Simulating Flashy Flash's Flash attack —"
G5 quickly retreated, raised its mechanical hand, fingertips aimed at Fless, and light lit up.
"biu~"
A scorching energy beam shot toward Fless, piercing straight through Fless's head.
Of course, that was an afterimage; Fless instantly accelerated his speed, arrived in front of G5, and with one slash severed this thing's body.
"Speed judgment error; Flash Fless data updated; information transmission —"
G5's mecha emitted a zzzzt electric current sound; who knows if it actually transmitted the updated data.
With a boom, it suddenly exploded, collapsing half the underground corridor.
"You guys okay?"
Flash Fless looked back at those behind; the beam attack just now was dodged by him, but he didn't know about the people behind.
"Fine; that beam attack was blocked by Big Black."
Child Emperor answered; when the attack came just now, Pochi actively stepped forward and blocked in front of everyone.
At this moment, looking at where the other party was struck by the energy beam, not even a single hair had been burned off.
It was very obvious that this black big guy's strength was probably far stronger than imagined.
"According to the blown-up machine guy's words, our existence should have already been revealed. Let's leave here quickly!"
Infiltrating to rescue, after saving the hostages, we just happened to be discovered by the enemy, and then were chased by the enemy — this counts as an experience project too.
Broly had a feeling of going to Red Magic Village to play an escape-kill-chase script, and at this kind of time, if one proposed to blast open a path leading to the surface upwards, that would absolutely greatly affect the escape-kill-chase experience.
So, Broly didn't say anything, but instead mounted the back of the big black dog abducted from the Monster Association, and followed Child Emperor and the others rushing toward the road leading to the surface.
"Enemy attack!"
G5's warning was useful; Giant Eye had already woken up.
"Keep the invaders here!"
In a very short time, Giant Eye figured out the Hero Association's feint strategy.
Although it didn't know how the terrifying Pochi was silently dealt with, it still immediately ordered all monsters in the Association to move out and intercept and kill the invaders.
