Chapter 2184: Eternal Starlight 21

In midair, twelve members of the Heaven Walkers flew in a triangular formation at high speed; although they were extremely fast, they seemed to blend into the air, causing hardly any disturbance.

Like a vulture searching for prey on a wasteland, the leading Heaven Walker, Liu Guang, raised his hand and waved; the eleven members behind him abruptly stopped, formed up skillfully, and looked in all directions.

Gazing at the silvery, unremarkable battlefield ground, Liu Guang frowned slightly, and the rule power on his surface flowed like mercury, continuously circulating.

"This should be the place, stay on guard."

Liu Guang spoke calmly; although he didn't believe the Star-Destroying Level existence mentioned by Lei Xi, strategically despising but tactically valuing is what any top squad would do.

The combat awareness honed over time ensured he never let his guard down in any situation.

He was simply certain that, aside from the combat traces at the previous coordinates, within the tens of kilometers radius where Lei Meng had left pheromones, he sensed no lingering rule fluctuations.

It seemed as if Lei Meng and his people had suddenly vanished.

"Captain? Should we try contacting that lizard again? I always feel something's off."

"Our judgment is likely wrong."

Like Liu Guang, doubtful, a Heaven Walker hesitated to speak, as vast streams of data information, like light bands, connected him and the others. As the squad's central control "intelligent brain," he could compile all the information observed by everyone.

Taking the crater they found at the previous coordinates as an example, all the trace records told him that the opposing side in that battle seemed to be only one person. Moreover, the battle erupted for an extremely short time, and Lei Xi's side offered almost no resistance.

Clearly, this is completely different from what they had previously thought.

"Body System? Or perhaps an act, a trap?"

"Let's take another look; if that doesn't work, we'll use positioning to find that..."

"Huh?"

Before Liu Guang could even frown, he planned to spend some points to pinpoint Lei Meng's exact location.

The next second, on the ground not far away, Lei Meng appeared as if walking out of thin air, standing there unabashedly, staring blankly at them.

"Lei Meng? Why are you hiding here?"

"Weren't you being hunted?"

His gaze sharpened; the entire squad abruptly turned around, and the leading Liu Guang instantly felt astonished, looking at them coldly.

In his eyes, Lei Meng at that moment had dispelled all his own power, standing there like a corpse! Such a scene was downright eerie!

Actually hiding one's aura as a Fifth Stage is not difficult; theoretically, by halting the operation of spiritual energy and rules, one can evade detection by peers of the same rank. However, doing so is equivalent to taking off one's bulletproof vest on the battlefield, causing defense and strength to drop to a minimum!

In Liu Guang's understanding, unless a Fifth Stage is captured and awaiting death, they would never abandon their energy operation!

As expected, seeing the Heaven Walker squad on guard against him, Lei Meng gave a bitter smile, revealing an ugly grin.

"Captain Liu Guang, no need to guess further."

"I have indeed been captured; moreover, I came out to deliver a message."

Liu Guang's gaze sank as he quickly pondered what Lei Meng was up to.

He swiftly scanned his surroundings with his eyes, while his deputy beside him quickly and quietly marked the direction behind Lei Meng:

"Captain, there is a spatial interlayer behind Lei Meng, possibly someone hiding there. However, the concealment method is quite crude; it doesn't even seem to involve rules, resembling some kind of skill effect."

Wrapped in Faith Power, the deputy responsible for gathering combat information could not sense Lin An's presence at all; therefore, in his view, Lin An was very likely hiding in the same way as Lei Meng.

Hearing the deputy's information, Liu Guang's unease instantly dissipated by half.

A spatial-type skill? If one can hide oneself with this method, it hardly counts as a spatial system.

"What words? Lei Meng, what are you up to?"

"You've been captured? Hah, do you know what the consequences are for messing with our Heaven Walkers Alliance?"

Liu Guang asked coldly, his mental power instantly spreading several kilometers outward; compared to the pretentious Lei Meng, he believed it highly likely that another group was hidden nearby, while Lei Meng was merely sent out to draw his attention.

Seeing Liu Guang begin to doubt himself, Lei Meng felt a bitter smile, also knowing that his appearance in this state was indeed too strange.

Having no choice and daring not to express any other meaning, Lei Meng took a deep breath, then, following Lin An's instructions, steeled himself to speak:

"Captain Liu Guang, let me say this first: these words are not mine, but those of the one behind me."

"He says.."

"If you don't want to die a miserable death, then hand over all the points on your person; if you can produce them, he doesn't mind sparing your dog's life."

"By the way.."

A fury that could almost be foreseen.

Before he could finish, Lei Meng stared wide-eyed at Liu Guang and the others who had originally been on guard against him; suddenly, he glared at himself with undisguised killing intent, which engulfed him like a flood!

Even though he knew he had provoked the Heaven Walkers' anger, compared to the terror of the one behind him, Lei Meng could only difficulty utter the latter half.

"Lord Liu Guang! Hear me out...!"

"That one also said, in three hours, let your strongest Heaven Walker come see him; he can give you a chance to work for him..! Hope you cherish this opportunity, don't act too foolishly.."

Boom—

Rule power surged to its limit; the twelve Heaven Walkers, as if simultaneously enraged, saw their silver-blue rule light instantly transform into a starry sky that covered the heavens and blocked the sun.

Furious to the point of laughing, having never heard such arrogant words, Liu Guang now felt that Lei Meng—no, the person behind Lei Meng—was seeking death, a madman!

Spare his dog's life? Have the Heaven Walkers Alliance come over to be dogs?

Even if he thought that the person behind Lei Meng was deliberately provoking them, Liu Guang also couldn't be bothered to listen any further!

"Don't act too foolishly!"

"Lei Meng, you have great nerve, actually daring to lure us over!"

"You pretentious freak, get out here!"

Star Guidance!

As if drawing the power of the starry sky, Liu Guang, violently angry, pointed a finger; a Milky Way-like brilliant beam instantly shot toward the location of the spatial interlayer.

Under the mighty rule of celestial motion contained within, he was confident that this finger could absolutely blast through this "dilapidated" spatial interlayer, as flimsy as a toy, smashing the arrogant fool inside into dust!

He wanted to see exactly what strength dared to provoke them like this!

Starlight blazed, resembling the light of destruction!

Seeing that this group of Heaven Walkers actually attacked even himself, Lei Meng's face changed drastically, but his body seemed to be frozen; he wanted to flee yet dared not flee!

To be honest, he also realized what fate awaited him for delivering these words, but he simply had no choice!

Moreover, he believed that, given the monster's arrogance, it would definitely not let this old dog be killed just like that!
