Chapter 750 Successfully joining up!

The steam locomotive galloped through the wilderness just like a roller coaster ride. If a normal person were sitting in this steam locomotive, they would probably not have died in battle but from the bumpy ride.

At the front of the vehicle, Ren Xiaosu looked back at Yang Xiaojin, who had already come aboard. However, he saw her holding a handle in the carriage, looking like she was having a lot of fun.

Amid the rumbling, the steam locomotive moved as though it was on flat ground. Yang Xiaojin shouted, “What were you going on about with that T5 combatant just now? I saw you two talking for a long time.”

Ren Xiaosu was stumped for a moment before laughing, “Hahahahaha, nothing much.”

Yang Xiaojin glanced at him. “So where are we going now?”

“We’re going to pick up Luo Lan and the others,” Ren Xiaosu answered. “I feel that the Pyro Company’s plan has been thwarted, so it’s time to end things now.” The battle had gone on from noon until sunset, so Ren Xiaosu decided to put an end to it.

In the face of the Pyro Company’s wanton encirclement and suppression, as well as the continuous appearances of those concealed T5s, it was likely their comrades from the Anjing House had already suffered heavy casualties.

But now that the Pyro Company had activated all of their T5s onto the battlefield, Ren Xiaosu could sense the Pyro Company was at their wits’ end.

It was not that the commander of the Pyro Company’s forces was not smart, but if Ren Xiaosu, Li Shentan, and the others had not appeared along the way, these groups of hitmen that were put together by the Anjing House would probably have already been wiped

out.

Ever since they came into the Sacred Mountains, crisis after crisis occurred and left them with no time to rest. Even their food supply had been depleted.

But this series of disruptions were all ruined now.

Ren Xiaosu was very excited. He had finally collected three Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls. What he most wanted to do right now was to find Luo Lan to copy his power.

By using three Skill Duplication Scrolls to learn a specific skill, there would be no chance of failure.

At this moment, Luo Lan and the others were leaning leisurely against a tree and chatting.

Ever since Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin lured the pursuers away, no one from the Pyro Company attacked their side. But when others near them were being pursued by the Pyro Company, they did not have any intention of helping out either.

Meanwhile, Wang Yun was lying on the ground at the side, quietly waiting for his wound to heal.

The miraculous effects of the black medicine made Wang Yun sigh in relief. If he could buy more black medicine from Ren Xiaosu, he would probably not die that easily in the future as long as he was not dealt a fatal blow.

As a commander, he would naturally not be participating directly in battles too often. Rather, it was his subordinates who had to live a dangerous life on the edge every day.

Wang Yun looked at the speed at which his wound was healing. “It will probably take another two days to fully recover, but I feel that we’re already very close to the core region of the Sacred Mountains. I’m afraid the Pyro Company will not afford me the time to fully recover.”

Wang Yun’s subordinate said, “Sir, this black medicine is already so miraculous when applied externally. Will it work if you take it orally?”

Wang Yun fell into deep thought. That sounded like it made some sense...

But when he turned around to look at Luo Lan, he saw him hugging a tree and shaking with laughter. Wang Yun asked, “What are you laughing at over there?”

Luo Lan stayed silent for a moment before turning around and saying in a serious tone, “I’m not laughing. The medicine can really be taken orally.”

“Ha ha.” Wang Yun did not believe it at all. Something bad would definitely happen if the black medicine was orally ingested. Luo Lan trying hard to suppress his laughter was already enough to give it away. While they were talking, Luo Lan heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

Ren Xiaosu had already stowed the steam locomotive in advance in case anyone found out about it.

He smiled and said, “What are y’all chatting about?”

“Where did you all go? Did you encounter any danger?” Wang Yun asked. “It’s more dangerous for others to encounter them.” Luo Lan chuckled.

While they were talking, Ren Xiaosu had already started saying to the palace, “Copy Luo Lan’s superpower.”

The voice from the palace replied in his mind, “Detected Luo Lan’s superpower as ‘Martyred Spirit.’ Do you want to learn it?”

“Yes!” Ren Xiaosu said firmly.

Wasn’t this power exactly the reason why he had been so busy in recent days? Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu felt an invisible force enveloping Luo Lan. At the same time, something seemed to have appeared in his mind as well.

This power gave Ren Xiaosu a very strange feeling. It was as though a door that led to the netherworld had opened up for him, but he could not really feel many changes. When copying the “Martyred Spirit” power, it was not like copying the Shadow Clone or the Steam Locomotive powers where the outcome could be seen on the spot. Ren Xiaosu suddenly said to Yang Xiaojin, “Can you go with me to the Southwest after the Sacred Mountains expedition is over?” Yang Xiaojin looked at him and said, “Sure.”

After that, Ren Xiaosu smiled at Luo Lan and said, “Get up; let’s clean up the mess. We’ll head into the core region of the Sacred Mountains tomorrow and see what other tricks the Pyro Company has up its sleeves. Let’s force them to reveal everything all at once.”

When Ren Xiaosu thought about going to the Southwest, he was no longer in the mood to mess around with the Pyro Company anymore. Yan Liuyuan might be waiting for him in the laboratory, but further away, there might be someone else waiting for him. So Ren Xiaosu was ready to put an end to this chapter in the Sacred Mountains.

He walked towards the gunshots while Luo Lan and the others followed him in high spirits. Wang Yun lay on the stretcher and said weakly, “Can you wait for me for another two days? I’ll have fully recovered by then.”

The Great Hoodwinker laughed softly next to the stretcher and said, “I saw that you were quite interested in the black medicine just now? How about this. If you come to the Northwest and participate in the building up of Fortress 178, I can talk to that person to sell you some more.” When Wang Yun heard this, he immediately shut up. How could he betray the Kong Consortium just for some black medicine? Before they could rush to the battlefield, the gunfire went silent. Ren Xiaosu wondered, “They’re done fighting just like that? Could our other teammates have all died?”

As night fell, a strange and ethereal singing voice came from the forest in front of them.”Looking, looking, looking for a friend, and then I found a very good friend. I’ll salute you, and shake your hand. Here’s to you, my very good friend...”

The singing was getting closer and closer. It was loud and clear, as though hundreds of people were singing in unison! Luo Lan got goosebumps all over his body. “Is it something freaky the Pyro Company had created? Why does it sound so terrifying?”

It was late into the night. For over a 100 people to search for their friends in the forest at this time, just the thought of it was already eerie enough.

As such, Luo Lan even summoned his 12 martyred spirits to set up a heavy machine gun nest!

Meanwhile, the Great Hoodwinker was chanting, “Separated by yin and yang, humans and ghosts do not mix, out with all evil...”

But when he saw the person at the front of the choir, he was stunned. “Li Shentan?”

“Are you surprised?” Li Shentan smiled brightly at Ren Xiaosu and said, “You can say that I have trampled mountains and crossed ravines to come and meet you.” Next to him, Si Liren muttered, “In the books I read, people never remember those who went out of their way for them. It’s always the ones who sacrifice themselves who remember the things they did for others.”

Li Shentan said with a smile, “That’s not important!”

Vanilla looked at Ren Xiaosu in a daze. So this was the person Li Shentan was searching for? And Li Shentan’s clone was also killed by him?
