Suren never showed mercy to his enemies.

From the moment these guys had murderous intentions and wanted to seize the treasure, every single one who fired a shot would die.

Perhaps thinking that the number of people on both sides was about the same, the "Prince Karl Knapp Treasure Hunting Group" was still blindly confident that they could win.

Before the Dawn Mercenary Group, who were rapidly gathering in the jungle, could close in, Baron Siegel gave an order, and the Prince's group actually preemptively attacked.

In an instant, the sound of gunfire and artillery fire boomed.

Bullets rained down on Suren's side.

But once the fight started, those guys realized that they had run into a tough nut to crack.

They overestimated themselves and underestimated the Dawn Mercenary Group.

Originally, the equipment of the Loheng official mercenary group was much higher than that of civilian mercenary groups, and the average combat power of the professionals was also much higher. Normally, when they encountered other groups, the advantage would always be on their side.

But this time, the "Prince Karl Knapp Treasure Hunting Group" didn't gain any advantage in firepower.

Intense firepower responded from the jungle.

They didn't know that the Dawn Mercenary Group's equipment was all captured from the elite North Sea Fleet. Although it was pirate equipment, it was military supplies smuggled over by Mafa. In terms of firepower, it was no worse than the Loheng military, let alone some mercenary groups?

Even though the Dawn Mercenary Group was still far away, accurate single-soldier artillery shells had already covered the area.

The reaction speed, tactical arrangement, combat capability, and individual quality...

Any expert could tell at a glance that these were professional soldiers!

This battle made the members of the "Prince Karl Knapp Treasure Hunting Group" realize that the enemies they were facing were not some third-rate wild group, but the Loheng Royal Knights Legion equipped with Mafa equipment!

They regretted making a move.

Their originally confident equipment suppression instantly turned into being suppressed.

But they could only continue fighting.

Moreover, this exchange of fire immediately revealed a huge disadvantage that made the "Prince's Group" even more desperate.

They realized that the gap in high-end combat power was also very large!

.......

Barrett watched the enemy attack, took a step, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

There were several "pops" of air exploding.

His figure flashed, and when they looked again, Barrett had already appeared in front of Siegel. His fist, wrapped in distorted light, punched out.

Seeing the overwhelming power, Siegel's face showed great horror. He wanted to dodge, but found that his body was restricted by a strange force field. His body felt like it was sinking into a swamp, making it very difficult to move.

As a sixth-tier professional, how could he not understand what this meant?

This was tier suppression, an energy field formed by the law of power.

This was the performance of a near seventh-tier!

At this meeting, Siegel was terrified and cried out in his heart: "He... Barrett has condensed a power field?!"

The "Domain" condensed by the seventh tier was the watershed for top-tier professionals. There were countless geniuses in the Loheng Empire, but this hurdle prevented ninety-nine percent of them from crossing it in their entire lives.

He didn't expect that Barrett had half-stepped into the seventh tier?

Moreover, what shocked him even more was yet to come.

Barrett's fist blasted out, and Siegel barely managed to avoid a vital spot with his life-saving abilities. But even after being hit by this punch, his entire body flew out like a cannonball. This punch directly shattered his protective battle qi and severely injured his internal organs.

The power was far beyond imagination!

"How is it possible... Didn't Barrett say that he lost an arm and his combat power was greatly reduced, with only fifth-tier combat power!"

Siegel spat out a mouthful of turbid blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he was a sixth-tier professional, he was already far behind Barrett, who had grown up in the Royal Knights Legion since he was a child.

He originally thought that the other party only had fifth-tier combat power, so he was so tough and decisively attacked just now.

But in this exchange,

What the hell was fifth tier!

This was almost seventh tier!

Everyone knew about the great battle in Morros City that night. But not many people really knew what happened. Almost all forces were focused on the "theft of the temple" at the Agaparnon Temple and the "assassination of Princess Frost Moon."

Few people knew that the members of the Holy Tribunal had been rescued, let alone that Barrett, who had integrated the [Silver Hand], now had even stronger strength than his peak!

"How is it possible that after a power-type professional loses an arm, his strength will not decline, but instead increase?"

Siegel couldn't figure it out at all.

He had seen Barrett's silver arm before and thought it was a mechanical arm, not taking it seriously.

He didn't expect that after being beaten, he realized that this fist was much stronger than expected.

But reality no longer allowed him to regret it. Barrett punched the person away, then stepped hard again, chasing after him again, looking like he wanted to kill him.

Siegel's face was full of despair, and he knew that he was no match at all.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...

The force of the fist was like a blasting cannon.

He could only accept it hastily, taking several heavy punches in a row, his body being blown away like a sandbag.

Siegel still had a last glimmer of hope in his heart, that his several fifth-tier branch chiefs could come to help and encircle Barrett together.

But looking at the sudden appearance of the "Thunder and Lightning" phenomenon in the sky, Siegel was truly desperate.

The towering sword qi was sharp and compelling even from a distance. How could he not see that his subordinates were all struggling to protect themselves? How could they come to help him out of this predicament?

He looked at the six-armed female swordsman out of the corner of his eye, his face ashen, and he had already seen his end.

His heart was even more unwilling and puzzled.

Second Awakening [Rakshasa Woman], sword intent, battle qi, famous sword...

This kind of powerhouse would be famous wherever they went. How could he have never heard of this person at sea!

......

Qiantiao's six arms and six knives, full of baleful aura, plunged into the crowd.

To deal with these people, she didn't even need to use the [Rakshasa Woman]'s third awakening. The thunderous sword qi driven by the demon sword alone was too much for most people to handle.

Low-tier professionals were harvested in pieces, and third and fourth-tier professionals could barely withstand a few slashes.

Qiantiao didn't seem to plan to use her full strength either. After killing a wave of people, she found the two fifth-tier professionals in the Prince's group.

She fought two against one, suppressing the two of them and retreating steadily, yet she still had energy to spare.

Now, the low-tier professionals of the "Prince Karl Knapp Treasure Hunting Group" were stunned.

Several of their leaders were being beaten back, what should they do?

Aside, the only ones who didn't participate in the battle were the leader of the "Black Panther Group", "Red Nose" Miles, and dozens of core members.

One was the financial backer, and the other was a friend. They chose their friend.

Before, they were just listening to Suren saying that he knew Barrett, perhaps they still had difficulty making a decision.

But now that Barrett miraculously appeared in front of them, how could they attack?

If it wasn't for a life-or-death friendship, Miles wouldn't have used connections to buy several members of the Holy Order.

Moreover, their Black Panther Group didn't have much friendship with the other groups either. They were just strangers traveling together for money.

Besides, he was very glad that he didn't attack now.

This "Dawn Mercenary Group" was not well-known, but its strength should not be underestimated!

Whether it was the equipment or the female swordsman, their strength was surprising.

Miles was also thinking that now that his old friend, Alek Barrett, known as "Beast", was helping, the Dawn Mercenary Group would definitely not suffer in this battle.

But thinking, thinking...

At the same time, a trace of doubt arose in Miles's mind.

He looked at the injured young man.

From the first time he saw him, the one who made his magical pet "Beibei" feel strongly uneasy was this young man in front of him.

Then he... where exactly would he make the spirit leopard feel "extremely dangerous"?

He didn't seem to see anything special about him.

Before the Black Panther Group could be confused,

At this time,

A fourth-tier professional assassin from the "Prince's Group" targeted Suren.

After all, he was a high-level assassin who had experienced many battles, and that guy also made his own judgment.

He saw that Suren's identity was definitely not simple, so he thought about killing him first, or subduing this key figure, which might change the battle situation.

In the fierce battle, the assassin used a large tree to hide his figure, and then quietly entered a stealth state.

On the battlefield, no one seemed to notice his existence.

The injured young man didn't seem to notice it at all.

......

"Red Nose" Miles had been observing the battle, and he keenly captured this point. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he hesitated whether to remind him.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a monster with wings teleported in front of the young man. The winged monster moved extremely nimbly and unexpectedly reached out a claw, accurately grabbing the fourth-tier assassin who was lurking in the air.

The assassin's face showed great horror, but before he could react, the winged monster struck again, smashing him into the ground.

With a "boom", a spider web of cracks appeared on the ground.

A set of actions was smooth and flowing, completely as expected.

At this time, everyone could see clearly that the winged monster was actually a metal puppet.

"Puppet master? What kind of puppet is this?"

Miles looked at it with a heavy expression. The puppet with dark golden luster all over made him, a fifth-tier professional, feel a sense of crisis.

So this puppet was the young man's calm reliance?

The Black Panther Group all showed a look of realization.

They were also secretly glad that they didn't have a conflict when they first met, otherwise this puppet would really be a big trouble.

But the black panther looked at Suren, who suddenly stood up, and suddenly became restless.

Miles seemed to feel his partner's uneasy emotion of "wanting to escape from here immediately", and suddenly woke up, looking at Suren, exclaiming in his heart: "No, what Beibei fears is not this puppet! It's him... he still has a trump card!"

......

The battle started in an instant. Now that the Dawn Mercenary Group hadn't arrived yet, Suren didn't want these guys who wanted to kill people and seize treasure to escape.

The knowledge he had stripped before had been digested almost completely, and now he could free up his energy to deal with these guys.

Although his physical injuries were indeed not light, for a Ghoullock, combat power was not only on the body.

The gargoyle was still pressing down on the fourth-tier assassin, continuously blasting heavy punches. That guy was already breathing more than he was exhaling...

Suren didn't take another look.

He made a warlock seal with both hands, and eight-armed spider spears quickly condensed behind him, and the huge cross in the sky also instantly condensed.

He pulled out two sealing scrolls with one hand and shouted, "Release!"

A series of spatial fluctuations exploded, and hundreds of rune puppets of various shapes appeared in front of him.

Those guys in the "Prince's Group" used the complex terrain of the rainforest to fight a jungle war. Even if the Dawn Mercenary Group chased after them, their efficiency in killing enemies would not be high, and the risk would be great.

And to charge and kill in the jungle, puppets were the most suitable.

Since Suren made a move, he wouldn't give the enemy a chance to breathe.

In the astonished gazes of those people, he unfolded the eight-armed spider spears behind him and whispered in his heart: "Puppet Mystery·Slaughterhouse!"

Countless crystal silk threads were connected, and the puppet legion rushed into the forest with a "crack" "crack" sound of wood meshing that made people's skin crawl.

With the black umbrella in his left hand, even without looking, Suren could easily sense the position of those people's souls.

When encountering tricky guards, he swung the black scythe in his right hand a few times, and they were immediately separated from their bodies.

Suren was like the god of death descending, harvesting the enemies in front of him expressionlessly. The gargoyles guarded his body, able to fight and resist, not feeling that the hundreds of times the number of enemies were a threat at all.

Once the puppet legion attacked, the enemy completely lost any advantage.

The battle was almost one-sided.

......

Seeing this, the onlookers from the "Black Panther Group" were completely stunned.

This operation of one person controlling hundreds of puppets stunned these adventurers who had seen the world from the Loheng Empire.

And "Red Nose" Miles finally understood why "Beibei" was so uneasy.

The young man in front of him was so terrifying.

He faced a large mercenary group of hundreds of people without losing ground at all.

Which also meant,

He could also easily kill their Black Panther Group!

Miles felt cold sweat all over his back.

Fortunately, he didn't become enemies with him...

At this time, the main force of the Dawn Mercenary Group finally arrived.

They bravely rushed into the forest, killing the enemies of the "Prince's Group" and retreating steadily.

......

From the time these guys in the Prince's Group decided to cause trouble for the Dawn Mercenary Group, their fate of being annihilated had already been sealed.

The battle was very cruel, with corpses lying everywhere. The Dawn Mercenary Group killed them in an overwhelming manner.

After the main force arrived, Suren also freed his hands. He helped Qiantiao kill the two fifth-tier chiefs, and then they went together to besiege the sixth-tier guy.

Now Barrett's combat power was very strong, and it wouldn't take much effort to kill that Siegel. But for some reason, even though his strength was overwhelming, he fought for a long time but didn't kill him. That guy's vitality was a bit strangely tenacious.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, everyone helped together.

Before long, the battle ended.

Siegel was finally killed on the spot.

Under normal circumstances, it should be Suren's turn to harvest "gray mist".

But in the process of stripping this guy's soul, Suren stripped some strange things.

[You have stripped the soul of 'Siegel Kuhn']

[You have comprehended some 'Fragments of the Law of Calamity']

[You have mastered 'Magic Gun Knowledge']

[You know some information about the Loheng Empire']

[You have obtained a trace of obsession: 'I am a member of the 'Giant Hermit Society', and the great Lord has given me extraordinary power, allowing me to advance to the sixth tier...']

[Spirit +11.2]

[...]

Suren had stripped the souls of sixth-tier professionals before, but the amount of knowledge he obtained was much stronger than this Siegel.

This guy was like a... half-baked sixth tier.

Moreover, Suren also stripped a very strange piece of information. This guy was clearly an alchemist, but he was actually a member of some "Giant Hermit Society".

That seemed to be a "God Believer Organization".

The memory of the corpse could not hide his admiration for a certain existence.

Suren also wanted to know more information about that mysterious organization, but found that certain key memories had been erased, such as: the object of worship, the process of sacrifice...

He stood next to the corpse with a frown, pondering for a moment.

Now the Loheng royal family had promulgated a new decree, declaring freedom of belief for residents, and many strange churches had indeed appeared in the Loheng territory.

But it was not easy to use external force to allow people to break through from the fifth tier to the sixth tier.

He thought of something and asked Barrett, who also looked suspicious, "Mr. Barrett, what do you think?"

Barrett pondered for a moment: "It's a bit like the 'heretic' we encountered back then."

"I think so too."

Suren also nodded.

Back then in Cursing Valley, Barrett lost an arm thanks to that "heretic". Now, this guy's strange vitality was really a bit similar.

Saying that, Suren suddenly hooked his fingers.

The silk threads between his fingers immediately straightened and became as sharp as scalpels, and then drew a line on the corpse's chest, taking out a bloody heart.

Looking at it, there were actually a few blood-colored worms wrapped around the heart.

The worms seemed to smell the breath of a living person, and like bloodthirsty leeches, they stretched their bodies and probed around.

Seeing this, Suren's pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought, "It really is this thing!"

He immediately shouted into the communicator: "Dr. Banks, please come here."

Dr. Banks was very interested in strange creatures and had studied them deeply.

He walked over, carefully looked at the heart that Suren had put in a glass bottle, and muttered, "This worm is a bit like a creature from another plane. Calamity plane? Oh, that seems to be a very bad place. I once saw a related description in an ancient book."

Suren couldn't do anything about this worm, but he felt that it might be very important, and said, "This worm can only live for a few days after leaving the body at most. It can't even live in a living corpse. Doctor, can you analyze some useful information?"

Dr. Banks said: "Um. I'll try. It should be able to make these worms live longer."

......

The battle was over, and it was time for the happy harvest.

Now that there were no malicious competitors, all the treasures here belonged to the Dawn Mercenary Group.

There were a lot of treasures in the Crystal Palace, and the Dawn Mercenary Group was busy.

"Everyone be careful, Mr. Suren said, don't get close to the depths of the Crystal Palace..."

"Hey, Jack, just pile those gold coins aside. This is a box for storing magical treasures, don't waste space with gold coins!"

"Oh, the [Fire Ivory] has a strong curse characteristic. Who... Hannah, get a sealing box for Captain Black Feather!"

"Pack up the treasures first, then dismantle those crystal buildings and put them on the shore!"

"Yes, Team Three, dig out all the stone carvings and sculptures that can be dug out. Especially those with written records and reliefs... Hey, brothers of the Steam Team, your mechanical arms are good for this job."

"..."

Some people counted, some recorded, and some packed the treasures separately.

The treasures in this Crystal Palace were really impossible for ordinary mercenary groups to obtain. They couldn't take them away even if they saw them.

Because there were too many.

The Dawn Mercenary Group went from the initial shock, excitement, and ecstasy to the numbness of feeling like they were "picking up stones" when they saw gold coins later.

In this ruin, the most worthless treasures were all kinds of gold and silver utensils.

They were everywhere.

Each of the Dawn Mercenary Group's thousand members carried at least a half-cubic storage ring, but even if they carried all their equipment on their bodies, they were full.

Later, they could only pack up the extra things and put them on the shore.

To move so many treasures to the ship was originally a time-consuming and laborious project.

Fortunately, the Dawn Mercenary Group had Suren.

Suren's principle of treasure hunting was very clear: as long as there was no danger, he would search every part of the Crystal Palace.

Including the palace itself.

Those crystal pillars were longer than ordinary seaships, and they could not be transported away at all except by smashing them.

But smashing them was a pity, and their value would be greatly reduced.

Such large natural crystals were very rare, and some super-large alchemy arrays would use them. These were rare items that could not be found outside.

The crew members of the Dawn Mercenary Group disassembled them one by one, hoisted them out of the water with cranes, and then piled them on the shore.

Suren's "Small Void Realm" also came in handy. Although it cost him a lot of dark spirit power, he also moved those large objects bit by bit, like ants moving house.

This wave was a great harvest for the Dawn Mercenary Group.
