"Holy crap! Isn't that Iron Man?!"

Su Yuyang had initially been observing the reactions of Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus with a detached, gossipy attitude.

The next second, the E-class attendant floating in mid-air suddenly raised his hand and fired his palm cannon repeatedly, bombarding the ground with a dense barrage of shells.

The way he floats in mid-air and fires cannons from his palm is exactly the same as Iron Man's classic entrance.

For a moment, Su Yuyang was stunned, almost thinking he had stumbled into the Marvel universe.

However, this momentary lapse was fleeting, as the cannonball fired by Servant E had already pierced the air and was hurtling towards the ground.

Tian Xiao immediately activated his talent [Sonic Boom], and ear-piercing sound waves exploded in mid-air.

Although it failed to intercept all the shells, it forced some shells to miss their mark, and many others exploded prematurely in mid-air.

But more shells remained, still whistling through the air, heading straight for the spot where Su Yuyang, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi were standing.

Seeing the barrage of shells raining down from above, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi turned pale on the spot, their eyes filled with terror.

This was the first time they had ever encountered shells raining down from such a height, and there was nowhere to hide.

Forced into a corner, the three of them instinctively turned their heads together and anxiously looked at Su Yuyang.

Looking at Su Yuyang again, he remained calm, leaning lazily against the broad back of the mutated bull, showing no sign of panic.

Seeing his composure, the three of them, whose hearts were pounding with tension, finally relaxed a little and felt inexplicably at ease.

On the other side, the mutated bull that had just leaped up the tree took the opportunity to ram hard into the side of Servant E.

The enormous impact shook the mech several times, and Tu Manman, who was hanging on E-class servant, staggered and almost fell directly from the sky.

He quickly grabbed the mech's ankles tightly, barely managing to keep his balance and avoid falling directly off.

Because of this sudden collision, the cannon carried by Attendant E was knocked off course.

The shells fired from behind grazed Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus, flying past them and crashing into the distant woods, sending dust and sparks flying everywhere.

"Put-put ...

The muffled thuds of shells piercing the ebony trees echoed in my ears. The thick trunks on both sides were pierced directly by the shells, and wood chips flew everywhere.

Seeing this, the fog fungus no longer hesitated and immediately activated its superpower, [Fungal Mutation], at full power.

Large patches of dark green fungi suddenly sprouted from the old tree roots and rotting branches in the woods, spreading wildly and covering the entire tree in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, the giant tree covered in fungal clumps seemed to come alive, its curved branches like giant arms, whistling through the air, and slammed down hard on Servant E in mid-air.

Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus all gave it their all. Mist Fungus secretly regretted that she was a beat too slow and was afraid of displeasing the mysterious master.

Just as Servant E fired most of his cannonballs, the three green-eyed men kept an eye on Su Yuyang's direction from the corner of their eyes.

Sure enough, the bizarre scene from last night appeared before Green Eyes' eyes once again.

The shells that were heading straight for Su Yuyang and his group were all steadily blocked by an invisible barrier.

Green Eyes could see clearly that even a cannonball hurtling down from high above would suddenly stop three meters away from Su Yuyang, creating visible shockwaves before it could go any further.

This shocking scene was witnessed not only by Green Eyes, but also by Tian Xiao and Wu Jun.

Even Tu Manman, who was clinging tightly to the mecha's ankles, took in this bizarre scene.

Last night, after dark, he was among the wolves again, still unable to understand why the mutated, bristly wolf controlled by the green-eyed man had suddenly gone out of control.

Now, watching the shells being stopped by an invisible barrier, a chill instantly ran through my body, and I couldn't help but shiver. My heart was filled with fear.

Tu Manman dared not linger any longer. She abruptly released her grip on Attendant E's ankle, and her tongue instantly became as thin and long as a lizard's, shooting out as if to grab a large tree fifty meters away that would require three people to encircle.

The situation is now completely hopeless; fleeing is his only and wisest choice.

But it was too late.

Just as his long tongue was about to wrap around the tree trunk, a cold and indifferent voice came from below.

"Grab him."

Without needing to specify a target, Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Mist Fungus immediately understood and launched their attacks simultaneously.

The mutated bull that had just rammed into Servant E kicked off its four hooves and began to run wildly through the woods, snapping and sending flying trees as thick as a person's embrace through its crash.

The bull's body shot out like an arrow, charging straight at Tu Manman's lower back.

Tian Xiao raised his head and let out a clear whistle. His [Sonic Boom] talent instantly spread out, and the invisible sound waves wove into a large net, blocking all of Tu Manman's escape routes.

Meanwhile, Fog Fungus continued to manipulate the mutated trees in the forest, constantly harassing Servant E in the air from below.

With the harassment from the fog fungus, Servant E could no longer launch a sustained attack.

However, the trees are limited in height and cannot reach higher into the sky.

Servant E spewed out blazing flames from his feet and soared into the sky, escaping the trees' attack range and rushing into the air above the Black Forest.

After a brief moment of preparation, one after another incendiary high-explosive bombs shot out from his palm, blasting towards the crowd below.

Just as the burning shells were about to fall into the woods, several giant, mutated trees, each over thirty meters tall, immediately swung their thick branches and forcefully blocked the shells in mid-air.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

High-explosive bombs exploded one after another in mid-air, and the violent heat wave, along with towering flames, instantly ignited a large area of ​​black wood.

The flames spread wildly along the trees, and in the blink of an eye, Su Yuyang, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi were surrounded by the fire.

Flames leaped wildly from top to bottom, engulfing the trees on both sides. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the heat made people's faces burn.

Fog Fungus gritted its teeth and persevered, pushing its [Fungal Mutation] ability to its limit, even at the cost of overdrawing its own source power.

From the base of the burning trees, a vast amount of fungi sprouted, and the enormous trunks, as if alive, slowly moved their roots away into the distance.

He exhausted all his internal energy, leaving him completely weak. He then moved all the trees above Su Yuyang, Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi, as well as within a 50-meter radius, leaving only a barren mountainside, thus completely isolating the fire.

After doing all this, Wujun was weak and unsteady, her body swaying, so tired that she could barely stand.

Seeing his actions of going to great lengths to protect everyone, Su Yuyang's earlier displeasure at Wu Jun's hesitation in taking action faded considerably.

He gestured for Jiang Xiaochen to come forward and help the exhausted Wu Jun to the side to rest.

Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi immediately raised their submachine guns, aimed at the E-rank attendant in mid-air, and pulled the triggers. A dense hail of bullets swept towards the figure in mid-air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Bullets rained down on the E-class attendant mech's outer shell, scattering sparks.

The intense firepower forced E's attendant to stop attacking and instead focus on defense, enduring the gunfire head-on.

It originally intended to slip away under the cover of the woods below, but most of the dark forest below was on fire, leaving it nowhere to hide.

Faced with two dense lines of fire below, Servant E had no choice but to retreat and attempt to escape to higher altitudes.

But at that moment, the mech's internal energy suddenly stalled and malfunctioned, and the power system inexplicably failed.

The blue light shining from the mecha's eyes suddenly trembled, revealing a hint of shock and astonishment, much like a human's.

It immediately scanned the woods below, trying to find the source of this strange power, while urgently sending a danger signal to the city of Grass.

According to the underlying core instructions, the main city should be notified first, rather than the mining area where Glass Mingyuan is located.

As Servant E's gaze remained firmly fixed on Su Yuyang, who was sitting comfortably below, Jiang Xiaochen had already helped Wujun to a mutated yak and settled her down. Then, he picked up the heavy machine gun, aimed at the mecha in mid-air, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, the heavy machine gun bullets he fired were frozen in place by an invisible force as soon as they reached mid-air, unable to advance even half a step.

The bullets fired by Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi hovered in the air, losing their force.

At the same time, the mechanical eyes of Servant E went completely dark, and its power supply was completely cut off.

The bulky and heavy mech lost its levitation power and plummeted straight down from the sky to the ground.

"Jiang Xiaochen, catch it! Don't damage the mecha."

As soon as Su Yuyang finished speaking, Jiang Xiaochen didn't dare to delay. He leaped and dodged in quick succession, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the vicinity of where the mecha had crashed.

He leaped up suddenly, straightening his arms to catch the falling E-rank attendant, trying to deflect the immense force of the fall.

Tian Xiao, who was chasing after Tu Manman not far away, turned around when she heard the noise and let out a soft sigh.

An invisible sound wave surged quietly, transforming into a soft air cushion that steadily supported Jiang Xiaochen and the heavy mecha, allowing them to land safely.

Meanwhile, Tu Manman had already been severely injured by the sound waves, her bones felt like they were broken, and she fell headfirst from the tree in a sorry state, landing hard.

His back was covered in wounds from the sound waves, his clothes were torn, and blood kept gushing out.

Its neck was pinned down by the mutated bull's sharp horns, rendering it completely immobile and eliminating any chance of escape.

"Tu Manman? The foreman of the mining area?"

Su Yuyang casually leaned back in the folding chair, his posture languid, yet he exuded an imposing aura.

He glanced sideways at Tu Manman, who was kneeling on the ground, his body stiff, and felt a surge of curiosity about these mutants who were barely surviving in the apocalypse.

He had noticed these people's special abilities before: Green Eyes could tame ferocious mutated beasts, and Tian Xiao could generate sonic attacks.

This image is full of images. The tongue can extend hundreds of meters in an instant. It is both soft and sharp, making it an excellent method of assassination.

"I wouldn't dare! How could I possibly call myself a manager in front of such an important person!"

Tu Manman's entire face was pressed tightly against the scorching ground, his voice filled with ingratiation.

Before an absolute powerhouse, he was filled with nothing but fear and reverence.

The smile in Su Yuyang's eyes slowly faded, and an invisible mental force suddenly spread out, pressing down hard like a mountain.

"Bang!"

Tu Manman was pressed firmly to the ground by an invisible force, his chest pressed against the ground, and his bones made a soft creaking sound as they were crushed.

That fawning smile was instantly shattered by extreme fear.

Excruciating pain and a feeling of suffocation instantly enveloped his entire body. He gasped for breath, unable to move an inch.

"You were one of the people last night, weren't you?"

Su Yuyang's tone was cold and displeased as he asked, "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you and that mecha trying to do here?"

The immense pressure made Tu Manman feel as if his internal organs were shattered. His throat tightened, and he panicked so much that he could barely speak coherently, hastily trying to explain himself.

"I...I...no! It's...it's Servant E who was ordered to come to the ruins of Tokyo to capture Jintu...to return and report!!"

Upon hearing the words "Ember Soil," the expressions of Lin Xuanzhi, Zhao Xinyan, and Jiang Xiaochen, who were standing nearby, changed simultaneously.

The three of them turned to look at Su Yuyang, who was leaning back in his chair with a calm expression, almost simultaneously.

Their eyes were filled with shock, anger, and anxiety. The words were on the tip of their tongues, but they swallowed them back, looking like they wanted to say something but dared not.

Song Ruhai!

The name popped into Lin Xuanzhi's mind instantly.

They were originally staying at the Night Watch camp, but were wiped out by the gifted individuals of the Ash Earth camp. Countless of their companions were killed or wounded, and the rest were all captured and enslaved.

They were heading north, originally intending to search for clues about the Ash Earth camp, but no one expected that they would suddenly hear about Ash Earth at this time.

The green-eyed man standing to the side sensed something was amiss, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and respectfully began to explain.

"My lord, Jintu's full name is Glass Jintu, and he is Glass Mingyuan's half-brother."

He was an illegitimate child and was exiled to the ruins of Tokyo at a young age.

Su Yuyang nodded slightly, understanding in his heart. He turned to look at Tian Xiao and Wu Jun beside him, and the two immediately nodded, their attitude respectful, confirming that what the green-eyed man said was true.

"So you and that mech weren't coming for us?"

Su Yuyang still had questions in his mind, and asked again with a cold face.

Tu Manman's eyes darted around, her gaze shifted, and her lips moved as if she dared not speak directly, clearly hiding something.

Seeing that he was dawdling and unwilling to tell the truth, Green Eyes hardened her eyes, took a step forward, and stomped hard on Tu Manman's lower back with her right foot!

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, accompanied by Tu Manman's heart-wrenching screams.

The kick was extremely powerful, almost breaking his back.

Tu Manman was in so much pain that her whole body was convulsing. Tears, snot, and cold sweat streamed down her face. She dared not hide it any longer and cried as she begged for mercy to confess.

"My lord, spare me! I'll tell the truth! It was the three Green-Eyed Lords who suddenly disappeared. Glass Mingyuan suspects that it was Jin Tu from the ruined city of Tokyo who did it, so he sent Servant E here to capture Jin Tu and hold him accountable!"

After hearing the whole story, everything suddenly made sense.

Su Yuyang's lips curled into a cool, faint smile.

"I see. It seems they mistook us for people from the Ash Earth Camp."

Jiang Xiaochen, Zhao Xinyan, and Lin Xuanzhi looked furious, but to Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun, it was a completely different story – one of shock.

Previously, they had privately speculated that Su Yuyang and his group were advance members sent by Jintu to deal with Glass Mingyuan.

"But it's fine this way."

Su Yuyang's eyes flashed, and he immediately had an idea. "Let Glass Mingyuan continue to misunderstand and think of us as people from Jintu. It will save us a lot of trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his wrist and instantly pulled the pistol from Jiang Xiaochen's waist.

Before anyone could react, five crisp gunshots rang out in succession.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Five shots were fired in quick succession without the slightest pause.

Tu Manman, who was kneeling on the ground, had his head explode instantly, with blood and flesh fragments splattering everywhere. He collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless, and died without any trace of death.

A second ago, Jiang Xiaochen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to protect the gun. He only made half of the movement before he froze and slowly withdrew it.

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was filled with shock.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by Su Yuyang's swift and ruthless killing methods, feeling both fear and shock.

Only Su Yuyang remained calm, even showing a hint of pleasure in his expression.

Just as Tu Manman's head was about to explode like a watermelon, a familiar system notification sounded in his mind, crisp and exceptionally pleasant:

[Congratulations, host! You have acquired the talent: [Lizard Nether] (Fragment)]

This brief moment of pleasure was fleeting, replaced by a deep sense of dissatisfaction.

Su Yuyang cursed inwardly: What a lousy system! Every time it gives me a talent that's incomplete! Is it planning to turn me into a half-human, half-demon monster?

He took a deep breath, suppressing his irritation and anger, and glanced casually at the obviously flustered Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun beside him.

He already has few men under his command, and the only ones he can use are his combat troops, so he avoids killing them if possible.

But it's no pity that someone like Tu Manman, who is opportunistic and two-faced, has died.

But that casual glance sent a shiver down the spines of the three green-eyed people. Their legs went weak, and they instinctively tried to back away, overwhelmed by fear.

Seeing this, Su Yuyang casually tossed the pistol back to Jiang Xiaochen, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

"Don't be afraid, the gun is out of bullets."

Jiang Xiaochen caught the gun steadily, forcibly composed himself, and pretended to be nonchalant as he tucked the gun back into his waistband. He then silently took half a step closer to Su Yuyang, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful and submissive.

Only he knew that there were three bullets left in the chamber.

Su Yuyang's decisive and ruthless actions just now filled him with utter awe.

Seeing the seemingly gentle yet unfathomable smile on Su Yuyang's face, the three with green eyes quickly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and forced out stiff, ingratiating smiles.

"Pack up and let's continue our journey."

Su Yuyang stood up, his expression returning to its usual calm.

"Since Glass Mingyuan has identified us as people of Jintu, then we will take over that identity."

Consider it as his exiled younger brother returning to reminisce with his elder brother.

Before long, all seven people had climbed onto the broad back of the mutated bull.

The giant beast landed steadily on its four hooves and quickly headed towards the heavily guarded mining area in the distance.

At the very back of the line, Lin Xuanzhi's eyes were filled with hesitation and inner conflict.

Before setting off, she wanted to ask Su Yuyang to go and rescue Song Ruhai first several times.

But every time he was about to speak, Zhao Xinyan would quietly pull his arm and frantically wink at him to stop him.

They all knew that speaking rashly now would be a failure to recognize their own identity and position.

......

Meanwhile, in the Grasse Tokyo mining area, the atmosphere had reached its peak.

Countless mutated hounds burst forth from the intricate depths of the mine, a vast, dark mass with sharp fangs bared.

Soon, low growls filled the area around the mine, as if a great enemy was imminent.

The slaves who were working in the mine were driven away by a group of gifted individuals and mutants. They hurriedly hid in their low and simple shacks and dared not come out again.

The piercing red alarm blared throughout every corner of the mining area, and the scarlet lights flashed incessantly.

All armed personnel, fully equipped, quickly arrived at their respective guard posts.

The mining area immediately entered a state of high alert.

Beneath the mine, outside a sturdy shipping container, a middle-aged man with a thick beard patted his round belly, a carefree smile on his face, but his eyes were full of amusement as he watched a spectacle.

"Mingyuan, Mingyuan, my good nephew. It seems your dear younger brother has finally dared to come knocking on our door?"

He knew perfectly well that the reason why Glass Mingyuan would go to such lengths to activate the highest alert level, mobilize all its forces, and create such a tense atmosphere throughout the mining area must be because of the actions of Jintu, who was exiled to the ruins of Tokyo.

His unrestrained laughter echoed through the corridor. The mutant standing guard beside him stood expressionless and blank, as if he hadn't heard a thing, remaining silent throughout.

A gentle breeze rustled across the highest open-air viewing platform in the mining area.

Glass Mingyuan wore a red mecha suit with gold flame patterns, his eyes as deep as an icy pool, staring intently at the dark forest ahead.

The thick smoke that rose into the sky dozens of miles away and lingered for a long time was extremely dazzling.

Just now, his E-rank attendant, whom he sent out, completely lost contact and did not send back any news. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

A surge of rage welled up in his chest, almost burning away all his reason.

"My dear brother...you really are my dear brother."

Glass Mingyuan looked down at everyone who was standing at attention below, his voice low and hoarse, filled with chilling coldness and violence.

The mecha-clad hand clenched tightly, instantly crushing the mug in its grasp, sending shards flying everywhere.
