Chapter 391 Gambling Den and Evolution Cube

Having locked onto the positions of Olroson and the others, Han Xiao immediately contacted Hela and Fording.

"Where are you?"

The image displayed a scene of a beast-fighting gambling arena, with several bizarre beasts from different planets fighting each other to the death. A protective shield separated the arena from the audience, which was a sea of people. Countless people roared and cheered for the beasts they had bet on, the atmosphere feverish. Fording was sitting in the crowded stands, with Hela and Aurora sitting next to him, intently watching the match.

Fording replied helplessly, "This is the biggest public casino in the main city. We're gambling here."

"Since when did you become fond of gambling?" Han Xiao asked, surprised.

"Ahem, I'm not fond of it. It was Morningstar who insisted I come here to gamble. She said, 'Why not earn money that's guaranteed to be made?' She told me to come and subsidize the household expenses..."

Han Xiao's lips twitched. "What about those two?"

"They insisted on coming with me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the match concluded. A giant python with blue scales and a crown-like head, tens of meters long, spewed out a cloud of poison, paralyzing the last giant beast and standing victorious.

"We won again! We won again!" Aurora waved her arms excitedly. "Sister, we've won four times in a row!"

Hela nodded slowly, then turned to Fording, a hint of addiction in her eyes. "Which one are you betting on next?"

Fording spread his hands, wearing a helpless expression that said, "It's not my fault they're turning bad."

Han Xiao's teeth ached at the sight. He coughed and said seriously, "Stop playing. We have something to do. Come and meet me now. I'll be waiting for you in Outpost Number Two. I'll send you the location in a bit."

With that, Han Xiao ended the communication. While maintaining his mental link to the Sky Floating City's control hub, he left the ship port and headed straight for Outpost Number Two.

There's no time like the present. Han Xiao planned to make his move against Olroson and the others tonight!

After all, Sedum was a subordinate of the Arcane Nation, and the matter was somewhat sensitive, so Han Xiao still didn't plan to reveal his true identity. Now that he had obtained the blueprint, there was no need to stay on Macsiberly, and Barn's fake identity was useless. He wasn't afraid to cause trouble using the name "Barn" here, dealing with Olroson and the others directly on the planet's surface, without worrying about the consequences.

Han Xiao waited for a while at the rendezvous point in Outpost Number Two. Hela and the others quickly arrived to meet him. As soon as they met, Aurora noticed the change in Han Xiao and exclaimed, "Your vitality has become stronger again!"

Fording and Hela were both stunned.

Han Xiao didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "I have a feeling I've touched the threshold of Beyond Grade A."

Hela's body trembled, and she stared deeply at Han Xiao, her eyes complicated.

Fording was sincerely happy for Han Xiao and asked, "So, are we leaving Macsiberly?"

"Yes, but before we leave, there's one more thing to do..."

Han Xiao then explained his intention to kill Olroson.

Hela nodded. "The enemy has Grade A superhumans. Fording and I will go with you. Aurora, you should go back to the ship and wait."

Fording had no objection to hunting down wanted criminals, but he was a little puzzled. "With your abilities, you don't need our help to deal with one or two Calamity Grade superhumans, right?"

Han Xiao shook his head, his tone becoming serious. "Don't underestimate these people. They might be subordinates of the Otherworldly Deities, possessing a Beyond Grade A Otherworldy Deity clone. We must inflict fatal damage on them the moment we engage in battle, so we must go all out from the start. With you two, we'll have a better chance!"

Hearing that the enemy was related to Beyond Grade A, Fording and Hela's expressions also turned serious.

"If the enemy summons the Otherworldy Deity clone, my strength would mean I wouldn't be in mortal danger, but it's different for you two. So, you must listen to my orders. We only have one chance."

Han Xiao immediately explained the battle plan to everyone.

He had already learned his lesson once, so he didn't rashly rush over this time. He didn't dare to be careless against a Beyond Grade A, and because he had the advantage of knowing the enemy while they were in the dark, he decided to make thorough preparations first.

…

Outpost Number Two, "Star Bridge" Hotel, where Ecolin and the others were staying.

The "Star Bridge" Hotel was located in the red-light district of Outpost Number Two. This district was filled with countless entertainment facilities and had a huge flow of people. The hotel was expensive and stood prominently in the middle of a street.

Ecolin and the others arrived on Macsiberly today. After sending the spaceship for repairs, they stayed in the hotel, spending money like water, calling in a large number of call girls of different races, indulging in wild revelry, from day to night.

The members of the Fallen Ark naturally had no morals and were used to indulging their desires. Even Ecolin, who had a mission in mind, didn't refuse the activity. After all, once they crossed the star field, they would spend several years in the desolate universe belt, and the last day or two staying on Macsiberly was their last chance to enjoy themselves.

Ecolin pushed away the girl who had fallen asleep on top of him, got out of bed, and glanced around. A dozen exhausted female creatures were lying sprawled across the wide bed.

He put on a casual robe, covering his scarred body, took a bottle of blue, stimulating synthetic alcohol from the icebox, and downed half of it in one gulp. He walked to the one-way window of the hotel room, looking at the scene outside.

It was already late at night, but there were still many people on the street, four or five out of ten were drunk. The city's sky was filled with red and green neon lights, making the planet seem decadent. Hovering vehicles occasionally streaked across the sky, and mechanical security forces patrolled nearby.

Staring at the scene of spaceships coming and going outside, Ecolin recalled his actions over the past few months. He had secretly done two major things in the Shattered Star Ring, almost turning the Star Pupil Holy Race upside down. Even the local Beyond Grade A had been played by them. Now that he was about to withdraw successfully, Ecolin couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

Raising his hand to touch the evolution cube he was wearing around his neck, Ecolin couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

"Heh... Shattered Star Ring."

This star field was nothing more than this.

Just as he had this thought, the one-way window in front of him was suddenly enveloped by a burst of dazzling light.

Boom!

The next moment, the window shattered!

The violent shockwave directly blasted Ecolin, who was caught off guard by the window, sending him crashing through the wall of the room and into the hotel corridor. At the same time, the same explosion occurred in all the rooms, and Ecolin's subordinates were all blasted away, falling to the ground like him.

The entire hotel seemed to have been bombed. In an instant, bricks and stones flew, dust splashed, and it became a mess.

The naked Olroson also fell into the corridor. Ecolin immediately met his gaze, and the same information was revealed in their gloomy and angry eyes.

Someone was attacking them?

Could it be bounty hunters?

The enemies could only be coming for the bounty offered by the Terran Civilization. With the two of them, Calamity Grades, here, these bounty hunters were simply courting death!

Ecolin glared at Olroson, about to unleash his Calamity Grade strength and kill these bounty hunters who were looking for death.

In the next moment, two mental shockwaves, like hurricanes passing through, one dark red and the other invisible, swept through the entire hotel.

Whoosh—

The brains of all the subordinates suddenly exploded, turning into splattered flesh and blood. Only Ecolin and Olroson withstood these two mental shockwaves, but their brains were also in excruciating pain, and their minds went blank, briefly losing control of their bodies.

There were two Calamity Grades among the bounty hunters?!

Ecolin and Olroson's expressions changed drastically.

However, before they could struggle, a strong light lit up in front of them again.

This was the last scene in their vision.

…

Outside the Star Bridge Hotel, the people on the street were stunned and stayed far away.

Just now, a black mechanical legion that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared, surrounding the Star Bridge Hotel building in layers, and frantically opened fire on the hotel, each volley consisting of tens of thousands of light cannon strikes.

Boom—

Half a block where the Star Bridge Hotel was located was directly bombed and flattened!

The crowd on the street was blocked outside by the mechanical legion. Their line of sight could not pass through the dense mechanical legion, and they could not see what was happening inside.

On the other side, in the encirclement of the mechanical legion, Han Xiao looked at the two corpses that the mechanical warriors had brought to him, his expression strange.

These two corpses were exactly Ecolin and Olroson.

Before they had time to resist, they were killed by a wave of surprise attacks from the mechanical legion, dying on the spot!

Han Xiao tried to overestimate the strength of his opponents as much as possible. He had originally prepared to rush in himself and fight when the mechanical legion opened fire, but what he didn't expect was that a round of concentrated fire directly killed these two Calamity Grade opponents, which surprised him.

This was even smoother than he had imagined.

Han Xiao had originally formulated several backup plans, but found that they were all useless. The action was so easy that he was surprised.

Weren't these people subordinates of the Otherworldy Deities? Why were they so fragile?

He thought that the subordinates of the Otherworldy Deities would be more powerful. It felt like there was no difference between killing them and killing other Calamity Grades...

Han Xiao's lips twitched, feeling like he had punched cotton.

It was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, like fighting wits and courage with the air.

"Well, maybe it's because I just changed classes and my strength has increased, so I'm even more crushing to ordinary Calamity Grades... That's right, these two people don't have a specialty that can immune true damage. I triggered three true damage attacks, so it's not surprising that they were killed instantly."

Han Xiao had to convince himself like this.

He originally possessed crushing combat power against Calamity Grades, and he had just completed his class change. Not to mention two Calamity Grades, twenty would be no problem.

With Olroson dead, [Harrofal's Revenge] showed that it was completed. Han Xiao asked Phillip to use a mech to equip Olroson's corpse and take it back to the Terran Civilization to exchange for the bounty.

At this time, he looked at the corpse of the other Calamity Grade, Ecolin, and noticed the square ornament on Ecolin's neck.

"What is this thing? It wasn't destroyed even after being hit by the legion's concentrated fire?"

Han Xiao was a little curious and bent down to pick up the small black cube.

The moment his finger touched the small black cube, the panel immediately popped up with an item description.

After just one glance, Han Xiao's expression suddenly froze. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the item description again, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Evolution… Cube?

Are my eyes broken?!

Isn't this Seer's universe treasure? Why would it appear here?!

Did I just pick up a divine artifact on the street?!

Han Xiao grabbed the Evolution Cube, dumbfounded, and stood there in a daze.

Suddenly, he understood.

Turning his head abruptly, he stared fixedly at Fording, who was to the side.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Fording felt his hair stand on end from Han Xiao's aggressive gaze.

Han Xiao swallowed and raised his thumb, almost breaking his voice.

"Fording—you're awesome!!"

Fording's face was full of black question marks.

…

A few minutes later, Sedum, leading a large number of mechanical troops, arrived at Outpost Number Two and rushed to the scene.

At this time, only ruins remained of the Star Bridge Hotel. Countless people gathered around, pointing and discussing, while Han Xiao and his party and the mechanical legion had long disappeared.

The security forces hurriedly cleaned up the scene and found no clues left behind.

"All the people I was monitoring are dead, the bodies are gone, and even the traces of the attackers can't be found?!"

Sedum was exasperated.

Because of Han Xiao's control, Sedum's informants used to monitor Ecolin and the others did not notify him immediately, and the mechanical security forces along the way did not stop Han Xiao and his party. Even the monitoring images were destroyed, making it impossible for Sedum to track them.

Sedum was still in the dark and didn't know what had happened.

Who killed Ecolin and the others?

How strong were the attackers to be able to kill Calamity Grade experts in such a short period of time?

Moreover, what was the attackers' motive? Were they bounty hunters? Or special forces who were acting under Seer's orders? Or was there something else going on?

If the attackers were not Seer's people, then the people he was monitoring were all killed, and the attackers had also disappeared. How was he going to explain this sudden situation to Seer?

Sedum couldn't help but have a headache and had no choice but to report this sudden situation to Seer truthfully.
