Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1418: Moment of Life and Death


Facing the Elf Queen's interrogation, the chubby man had racked his brains all the way to come up with a strategy. If asked what mountain this is, he would say it's Stone Mountain. If asked what the cave is called, he'd say it's Stone Cave. If asked...

But no one asked. Then the previous elf soldiers began to fly back one by one. The chubby man felt a chill in his heart. How come this one's not settled and another batch comes in? He couldn't keep making things up, so he decided to lay it all out. With a righteous and grand demeanor, he said, "We have a common enemy. That's the purpose of coming to the Twin Stars."

Elysis nodded slightly, something of that sort indeed existed. Though Nightmare was undeniably the mutual target of both clans, what concerned her more were the Strange Stones. It was because of the reactions from these stones that she found this vicinity.

Although the chubby man's words were not false, the bizarre was on another planet. What was he doing here? Based on human technological levels, it was impossible to mine Strange Stones in such a short time. She was overly cautious, but always felt that this person was sneaky and needed to be guarded against.

"I can't let you go yet. Come, take him away."

The chubby man's heart skipped a beat!

'Trouble! If searched, not only would his risk increase, but the whereabouts of others might be exposed too. He had to consider how to escape here and even resist.' However, no matter how his brain simulated, all the results were utterly hopeless. Even under the triple gravity of the Twin Stars, the chance of escaping right under the Elf Queen's nose was extremely slim. After all, he had seen royal power in action before.

His main quest hadn't been completed yet, so he didn't want to use light travel to slip away. At least, he should leave a nice man's image for Feng Luo—heck, might as well fight directly!

Therefore, the chubby man decided to leave it to fate and gamble. Starting with the strokes of the word 'fight,' odd was fight, even was evade. The result was an unsatisfactory number—damn, the word 'fight' turned out to have 9 strokes—no, no, no, this time doesn't count. 'Fight' clearly consists of two words; you can't gamble on just one word.

The chubby continued to gamble, a total of 11 strokes in the two words, still an odd number. However, he usually wrote the word 'le' in a single stroke, so he thought it was an odd number. He didn't care what others thought, just about what he thought, thus odd plus odd equals even. Great! He didn't need to fight!

"I don't want to make things difficult for you either. We'll let you go when this is over. But until then, you better behave." Elysis winked at him, which was a reassurance pill. Hearing this, the chubby man finally relaxed.

"Take him down—oh, right." Elysis seemed to suddenly remember something, "How is Feng Yi now?"

"Huh, why ask about him..."

"It's none of your concern. I'm asking you now."

The chubby man scratched his head, slowly recalling the scene when Elysis and several queens were knocked down by Feng Yi. Apart from that, Feng Yi hadn't done much else but had given her a drop of Golden Blood. Although he didn't know what that was for, from Elysis's expression at the time, he could tell there was a subtle, hidden relationship between her and Feng Yi.

The chubby man faintly guessed, could it be...

"Feng Yi hasn't been heard from in two years, so I don't know how he is."

"Isn't he your friend?"

"It's complicated."

"I see... Take him down."

Elysis's face showed a hint of disappointment. After speaking, she spread her wings and flew away elegantly, toward the direction of the Elemental Stone mining...

"Hey, I'm a friend of Feng Yi, better not mess with me!" The chubby man shouted loudly while constantly calculating Elysis's direction, that direction... indeed!

He realized he was in trouble, having just traversed over 20 kilometers. Once she discovered the Elemental Stone reaction had disappeared, she would certainly come back for a second attack, and things would be over then. He had to quickly figure out how to escape.

Luckily, over the years, the chubby man had mastered the art of Air Travel to such a pure level that he dared to say it was no less than its founder, Feng Yi.

This was precisely Lasasus, with a gravity three times as strong. According to his estimation, he should be able to easily shake off the Titan Elf elite soldiers. In summary, as long as the royal clan wasn't present, everything would be manageable.

The chubby man steeled his heart and decided to really gamble this time.

Watching the Ancient Queen disappear into the darkness, he waited for a moment, looked around, and then suddenly burst with force and shot off with a bang.

"Ah..."

The elf warriors were caught off guard, and in a flurry of screams, they suddenly realized that the person they were escorting had forcibly escaped their restraint and fled... The Queen would be furious upon learning this, and the elf warriors spread their wings to chase after him.

However, under triple gravity, the elves accustomed to a space environment were far slower than the chubby man—there is a fundamental difference in physique between humans and elves. Some might say that even placing a human accustomed to Earth's gravity in a triple gravity environment wouldn't be too bad, let alone veterans.

But the Titan Elf clan was different. Humans inherently have a gravitational foundation, so no matter how much heavier the gravity, it's just adding one plus one. Comparatively, Titan Elf's physique didn't have much gravitational resistance; their hearts were smaller than humans', and even Earth's gravity could quickly lead to ordinary elves' death. Even this battle-hardened group struggled under one gravity, let alone when they were enduring triple gravity.

After a dozen or so breaths, the chubby man completely lost the pursuing Titans.

Meanwhile, Elysis had just arrived at the area where the Strange Stones' energy was reacting. Strangely, there had been a reaction before, but now, the reaction was gradually disappearing? Upon investigation, she only then discovered traces around the chubby man. The weak reaction was the magnetic field left by the Strange Stone, could it be that...

As her thoughts churned, Sistine was suddenly startled, "That chubby guy was just here, could it be because of the Strange Stone? To avoid complications, I deliberately concealed this matter, damn it! He pretends to be unaware but definitely swooped in, no wonder there was no energy reaction on him."

In a sudden realization, Sistine remembered the Space Crystal hanging around the chubby man's neck!

At this moment, the Ancient Queen was completely enraged, her blood pressure skyrocketed instantaneously, her lips turned purple from being bitten... What a hateful guy, to deceive her like this, when she wasn't making things difficult for him...

Elysis had no time to think; she turned abruptly in the void and quickly returned at a speed countless times faster than before...

But unfortunately, it was all over. Awaiting her was a group of silent elf warriors bowing their heads...

"Bastard!"

——

The chubby man knew the royal clan's speed was far beyond his, and he didn't dare rest for even a moment now. He didn't know how far he flew in one breath at nearly full strength until the sky began to drizzle did he feel slightly at ease; the rain could provide some interference.

Yet he was still immensely worried, knowing Elysis wouldn't let him go easily. So he decisively took out a communication device to send his location, quickly contacting the nearest partner—anyone to avoid going it alone, damn it.
