Li Yao and his group waited with great patience, like snipers in ambush, ready to use the laser cannon for a single fatal strike at any moment.
……
Inside the King Kong Ape Mountain Range, in Luo Feng’s base.
Within the dim cave, Luo Feng was sitting cross legged in meditation, facing upward with his five centres aligned, absorbing cosmic energy into his body and converting it into genetic energy. He deliberately guided the energy toward his left elbow, and a wave of numbness spread through it. After a while, the injured elbow could no longer absorb genetic energy, so he stopped.
“The Dragon Blood effect is indeed very good.”
“Although my body strength increased a lot last time, much of the Dragon Blood energy was still dormant inside me. After cultivating again, a lot of it has been absorbed into my body. My elbow feels much better now. I believe in another two or three days, it will fully recover.” Luo Feng moved his left elbow slightly and smiled.
When a martial artist’s strength increases, it is a form of life evolution.
At the low level war god stage, Luo Feng’s immune system and recovery ability were already much stronger than before.
“Now, let me see where Li Yao is and what he is doing.”
Luo Feng grabbed his backpack and quickly rushed out of the cave.
……
On the wasteland.
“He moved, Luo Feng has moved!” Klein shouted excitedly.
Beside him, Li Yao’s eyes lit up as he silently stared at the radar screen.
……
Inside the mountain range.
Luo Feng moved through the terrain, his gaze cold.
“If I get the chance, I will teach them another harsh lesson. I already killed quite a few of them. Right, they also brought many boxes. They came all the way to Australia just to hunt me down while carrying so many boxes. Those must be important things. I will destroy them as well.”
“No, something is wrong.”
Luo Feng suddenly stopped and crouched on a mountainside, his expression changing.
“Boxes?”
“They came from so far away to hunt me, and carried so many boxes? And they were so careful when moving them?” As he thought, goosebumps rose all over his body.
“If I were Li Yao, and I wanted to kill a spiritual念 master with full certainty, what would I use?”
“As long as a spiritual念 master takes flight, even Li Yao cannot kill him.”
“And weapons that threaten a war god level spiritual念 master… humanity only has two. Nuclear weapons, and laser cannons.”
Luo Feng’s expression changed drastically.
“Laser cannon…”
Although Luo Feng was only 19 years old, and had received a broad education, in his subconscious he always thought of laser cannons and nuclear weapons as humanity’s two ultimate trump cards. He never imagined Li Yao would actually use a laser cannon against him.
But now, thinking from Li Yao’s perspective, he concluded that only a laser cannon made sense.
“Laser cannons are affected by terrain. Ground based ones have severe limitations due to Earth’s curvature.”
“If it is fixed on the ground…”
Luo Feng quickly recalled his knowledge about laser cannons.
“Their most feared conditions are rain, fog, and obstruction.”
“Right now…”
“I absolutely cannot show myself!”
“Fortunately, these mountains are blocking them. For now, they cannot attack me. But the moment I expose myself, I will be instantly killed.”
Cold sweat formed on Luo Feng’s forehead.
A sense of fear rose in him.
The speed of a laser cannon is light speed. At that speed, the thought of dodging would not even have time to form before he was obliterated.
“Their group is carrying so many boxes. If it is not a laser cannon, what else could it be?”
“No other equipment is useful against a spiritual念 master or war god.”
“Run!”
“I must escape far away. Laser cannons have range limitations. If I am far enough, they cannot detect me.”
He immediately checked his communication watch and pulled up a satellite map.
With the map, he clearly understood the terrain.
“They are on the north side of the mountain range. I should head south quickly. The mountains will block them for now.”
“Three kilometres from here, there is a river.”
“Water can refract light. If a laser hits the river, it will evaporate water and lose energy through scattering.”
“If I stay deep in the river, I will be safe.”
“Laser cannons are also weakened by rain and fog. Water is the best barrier.”
“Follow this river for 260 kilometres to a large lake.”
“This lake is huge, nearly a hundred miles in radius.”
“And there is an island in the centre, about twenty to thirty miles wide.”
“I will go into the lake, then cross to the island.”
“Over two hundred kilometres. A laser cannon cannot reach that far unless I fly high into the air. And crossing water is dangerous for them. Li Yao cannot fly, so he would need to swim.”
After careful consideration.
He moved.
Luo Feng leapt from the mountainside and rapidly headed south.
……
On the wasteland, Li Yao’s group was confused.
“He stopped moving?” Klein said in shock.
“Wait, he is turning back!” another war god shouted.
“No, he is heading south!” James corrected immediately.
Indeed, the radar showed the dot moving rapidly south through the mountains.
Li Yao remained silent.
Gradually…
“Mr. Li, he has left the mountain range and is still heading south,” Klein reported urgently.
“This cunning brat,” Li Yao narrowed his eyes.
He now suspected that Luo Feng had guessed about the laser cannon. Although most people would not think of it, Luo Feng was extremely cautious and intelligent. Killing him would not be easy.
“James,” Li Yao said in a low voice.
“Yes?” James tensed.
“Take my men and carefully move the laser cannon to a mountaintop. Choose a position facing south,” Li Yao ordered. “Be careful. Do not damage it.”
James finally relaxed.
“Do not worry. It is only a few kilometres. We have enough people.”
“Good.” Li Yao looked at Klein. “Klein, once there is an opportunity, lock onto Luo Feng and kill him immediately. James will handle security.”
“Understood.”
Li Yao immediately blurred into a black shadow and disappeared toward the King Kong Ape Mountain Range.
……
Luo Feng’s speed was slower than Li Yao’s, but still exceeded 500 metres per second when fully burst with spiritual assistance. Within seconds he reached a river about ten metres wide and plunged into it.
Not a large river, but enough.
At the bottom, Luo Feng lay on his hexagonal shield, controlling buoyancy while his spiritual force propelled him with over 200,000 kilograms of force.
Like a torpedo, he shot through the riverbed at extreme speed.
……
Meanwhile, Li Yao reached the riverbank and roared into his communication device.
“Where is Luo Feng?”
“He is moving south along the river. You are three kilometres away!”
Li Yao immediately sprinted along the riverbank, creating continuous sonic booms. Beasts fled in panic.
Within moments, both of them had travelled dozens of kilometres.
“Where is he now?” Li Yao demanded.
“Too far. The radar cannot detect him anymore.”
Li Yao stopped.
“Cannot detect him?”
He stared at the flowing river.
Then he quickly called Venina.
“Give me his new phone number.”
At that moment, eight kilometres away at the bottom of the river, Luo Feng was like a torpedo, racing forward underwater.
